Chapter 2126 Obtaining (2) …. Fang Heng lifted his head and looked at the research personnel. saying, “To make a long story short, I’m looking for the withered trees of the tree spirit race. I know they were transported here. If any of you can lead me to them, everyone will be saved. Otherwise…” “I know! I know they’re housed in Research Room No. V-12, right next door!” Among the researchers, a young man raised his hand after hearing this, “I placed them there! They’re in the special laboratory environment of Research Room No. V-12!” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 “Very good. I admire your courage and honesty. You can take me there now.” Fang Heng snapped his fingers. Immediately, the remaining research personel felt their hearts tighten. Then, their faces turned red and they fell one by one with painful expressions. Only the young man who raised his hand was left. Seeing his companions fall, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked at Fang Heng pleadingly. “Don’t be nervous. They’re just temporarily unconscious. Of course, if you lie to me, everyone won’t have a good time, including you.” The researcher hurriedly nodded, “No, no, I’ll bring you there now.” “That’s the best. Lead the way.” Soon, the researcher brought Fang Heng to the opposite laboratory. The researcher walked forward and pressed his fingerprint to unlock the door. “Ka, verification successful.” The door opened. Fang Heng stepped into the laboratory. Immediately, the sensor lights in the laboratory lit up. In front of the entrance of a large laboratory was a huge tempered glass wall. The interior of the glass wall mimicked the cave environment he had seen before. The twelve branches of the sacred tree were planted in an artificial environment. “Not bad.” Fang Heng muttered to himself. However, the branch of the sacred tree was relatively large. How could he think of a way to move them? Fang Heng looked at the researcher beside him and said, “Open it!” “I can’t do it,” the researcher said, looking helpless. “The simulated space is all sealed off. It requires authorization from the director of the research institute or higher to open it.” Fang Heng glanced at the tempered glass in front of him and walked forward. Whoosh! The great holy sword appeared in his hand. “Phew!!!” He raised his great sword and slammed it against the tempered glass with a bang. “Bang!!!” A violent collision! Under the astonished gaze of the researcher, the entire sturdy tempered glass wall in front of them instantly shattered! “This…” Fang Heng stepped over the broken tempered glass fragments and walked into the simulated cave environment. He came to a withered tree branch of the sacred tree and reached out to touch the withered tree. [Hint: The player has discovered an unknown tree.] [Hint (High-tier natural science triggered): Discovered that this tree once possessed great power. The power it currently contains has completely dissipated.] [Hint: The player lacks relevant skills, unable to obtain more effective information.] [Hint: This item cannot be placed directly in the bag. The player can choose to cut it down into wood blocks and place it in the bag.] It was a little troublesome. The entire tree could not be directly put into the backpack. After cutting it into pieces and stuffing it into his backpack, there was a high chance that it would affect the information related to the magic array contained in the branch of the sacred tree. So… How could he take them all away? Fang Heng thought for a moment and turned to look at the researcher behind him and asked, “How are they doing now?” “We’ve tried many ways to awaken or restore the branches of the sacred tree. We’ve even considered transplanting them, but there hasn’t been any progress. They’re completely dead.” Forget it. Just use force! Fang Heng raised his head and began to control the Lickers outside. “Chi, chi chi!!!” A moment later, more than ten Lickers rushed into the research room. The researcher quickly retreated to a corner with a look of horror on his face. “Chi, chi chi…” The Lickers quickly condensed into flesh cocoons. In just a short moment, the flesh cocoons broke open. What was that? Was it a zombie creature that he had seen in movies? The zombie clones staggered out of the broken cocoons and slowly stepped into the broken tempered glass. Under the surprised gaze of the researcher, the zombies gathered in front of one of the branches of the sacred tree and slowly surrounded it. Then, they squatted down and began to dig with their bare hands! The researcher was shocked. “This… This might damage the roots of the branches of the sacred tree…” “Don’t worry, they’re professionals.” Fang Heng pursed his lips. The zombie clone had inherited all of his academic skills. In the past, he had even specially learned planting and other skills to transplant plants. With the help of the high-tier natural science, the damage to the plants was minimal. Moreover, the branches of the sacred tree had already withered to such a state. How could they be damaged? Fang Heng said as he looked at the researcher, “I also need a map of the entire research institute.” “Alright, alright…” The researcher’s throat rolled, “In the research room just now.” “Bring me there.” Soon, Fang Heng returned to the research room. The researcher quickly tapped on the control panel in front of the screen and displayed the internal map of the research institute on the big screen. Fang Heng quickly observed the overall layout of the research institute. “Looks like I have to use that move again.” Fang Heng muttered to himself. The sewers! The research institute had its own independent sewer system, isolated from most areas outside the facility. However, there were still some oversights. Several key points were connected to the drainage systems of the external areas. Just a small amount of digging was needed… With the zombie clones, he believed that he would soon be able to open a tunnel between the sewers and the outside world. There was just one problem. For the withered sacred tree branches, navigating through the underground areas could be somewhat crowded. It was difficult to avoid some bumps and bumps in the process. He didn’t care! Hw would leave it at that for now! After all, from the game prompt, there were a large number of the Federation’s semi-mechanized modified soldiers outside. It was too risky to fight head-on, and the branches of the sacred tree were more likely to be destroyed. He would go through the sewers! Fang Heng immediately made a decision and looked up at the researcher beside him, “Let me ask you something.” The researcher was startled by Fang Heng’s gaze and took two steps back and asked, “Wh-what?” “By the way, are there any digging tools here? A shovel or something?” “Huh?” The researcher listened and looked at Fang Heng with a strange expression. Did he hear wrongly? Why did he need a shovel? Was he trying to dig a tunnel out of here? … At the same time, in the research institute of OmniTech Company’s North District branch, the federal team under Boris was gathered at one of the entrances to the research institute. A large number of Lickers blocked several paths in the research institute, completely blocking the entire passage! Even the Federation’s mechanically modified soldiers were helpless. After half an hour, they continuously used their beam weapons to attack the Lickers from the outside. They even went up to fight them in close combat a few times.
