Chapter 88: Expansion Plan Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio [Hint: Your zombie group has completed the dismantling of the player’s shelter. You have obtained firewood*35,722, nails*145, rags*53, scrap metal*156, scrap plastic*27...] [Hint: Through dismantling, you have obtained a skill-strengthen the body experience points +5,511.] [Hint: Your skill-strengthen the body level has been upgraded to Level 4.] The soundproof effect in the underground shelter was very good. Fang Heng sat in front of the bonfire. He did not even know that a few hours ago, the prisoners outside had been completely wiped out by the elite mercenaries of the Dark Knights. “Strange, the resistance in the base seems to be very weak. Logically speaking, Dawn Guild is not so weak.” Fang Heng muttered to himself. He felt as if he had punched cotton. Could it be that Prisoner Snake and his gang were coincidentally not in the shelter? Whatever! In any case, the Dawn players’ residences had already been completely demolished. Their best option now was to find a new residence before nightfall. Perhaps, Prisoner Snake was too hot-headed and he chose to risk his life to forcefully occupy the prison... If that was the case, he would be sending himself to his death! After solving the issues of the security upgrade of the shelter and the troublesome neighbour, Dawn Guild, Fang Heng began to carry out the next step of the shelter’s development plan. First, he set a small goal. To build the largest, strongest, most comfortable and most stable shelter in District 8 of the Zombie Apocalypse! To become the strongest force in District 8 of the Zombie Apocalypse! Fang Heng was fervently setting his goals. During the apocalypse, there would be a “blood moon” every once in a while. At that time, the zombies would go berserk and the perception abilities of the zombies would be greatly enhanced. They would form groups and crazily attack the players’ residences and shelters. That was what the players called the “zombie wave”! At that time, once the defensive ability of the players’ residences and shelters could not keep up with the fall, they would completely die in the zombie wave. As the game went on, the intensity of the zombie wave would increase more and more. Now, Fang Heng’s prison shelter was guarded by two Dark Knights holding sniper rifles, and there were also powerful vine zombies... Fang Heng believed that his prison could survive at least four or five rounds of “blood moon”! While the other players were still building shelters, he had already completed the construction of a super-large shelter. He had even completed the safety upgrade of the shelter ahead of schedule. Now, he could enter the third phase of the game, which was expansion and competition for resources. With the prison as the starting point, he would gradually spread his influence to the surrounding area, occupying a large amount of territory and collecting large amounts of resources. Fang Heng was already two steps ahead of all the players. He had a huge advantage! “The forest environment has the most abundant wood resources.” Fang Heng thought silently in his heart. “With the free labour of the zombie clones, I can do this step more thoroughly. I can eliminate any future troubles.” “I might as well just directly remove all the system shelters, residences and so on that were initially spawned in the forest area!” Doing this could greatly reduce the probability of the King of Gods’ spawning new players nearby, preventing other players from entering the forest area. After all, when the zombie clones encountered players, it was very easy to stir trouble. Fang Heng was not timid, but he was very afraid of trouble. Having made up his mind, he controlled the zombie clones to split into two groups. The zombie clones in the smaller group held small stone hammers and explored the paths along the small paths in the forest. They began to search for the buildings hidden in the forest. If they encountered small wooden buildings, they would immediately start tearing them down! If they encountered higher-level brick houses, they would first mark them down. Then, they would ask Liao Bufan to bring a gasoline barrel and burn them down. Then, they would tear it down! “On the other hand, we need to stock up on available resources and continue to level up and expand the shelter.” “The abandoned iron mine is a good thing...” Fang Heng muttered to himself. He controlled the remaining zombie clones to return to the abandoned iron mine and start mining. Iron ore was an extremely important advanced material in the game. With iron nuggets made from iron ore, players could use them to make higher-level equipment and tools. For example, small hammers, shovels, pickaxes and so on. The destructive power of small iron hammers was at least twice as strong as small stone hammers! It greatly increased the efficiency of the zombies demolishing the residences! “The Dawn Guild is pretty good. They gave me a few furnaces and modules for free, so I don’t have to spend points to buy them at the merchant’s camp.” “I estimate that the zombies’ first batch of tools will be completed very soon by night...” After giving the instructions to the zombie clones, Fang Heng made a simple bed in the shelter and went offline immediately. While the zombies were hacking, he could start to find a way to enhance his S-level talent. After going offline, Fang Heng came out of the game cabin. He then realized that he hadn’t been to the gaming company for two days. He remembered that Shen Qing had told him three days ago that five rookies would join Team 12... Oh no, could they still be waiting for him? .. Phoenix Sound Gaming Company. The newly established Team 12. Pei Anan and a few rookies had been waiting for Fang Heng for two whole days. They were anxious. The few rookies were even more troubled. The rookies who had been assigned to the other teams at the same time as them had already started working, but they were still sitting there foolishly. They had just joined the company. If they failed the internship evaluation, they might be fired. What should they do? The team leader was still not coming. They were also very desperate... Just as they were worried, Pei Anan stood up instantly. “Team leader!” The others also stood up and sized up the new team leader. “Oh, oh, oh, we’re all rookies, right? There’s no need to be so formal. Come, take a seat.” Fang Heng waved his hand and gestured for everyone to return to their seats. The rookies sat upright as they listened to Fang Heng assign tasks. Fang Heng had thought of asking President Qin directly. Unfortunately, the other party’s voice notification indicated that she was in the game and could not be connected. “Pei Anan, you know that our company has an S-level talent enhancement plan, right?” “Ah?” Pei Anan responded with an ‘Ah’. She hurriedly lowered her head and flipped through her notebook. “Yes, we do. Please wait a moment, team leader.” “Do you know?” Fang Heng was a little surprised. He thought that the S-level talent enhancement plan was confidential within the company and that Pei Anan might not have known about it. “Yeah, you didn’t attend yesterday’s team meeting about the Zombie Apocalypse game. I attended it on your behalf. During the meeting, we discussed the distribution of the S-level talent enhancement plan.” “There were some problems in the Vampire Apocalypse game these days. President Qin personally brought people into the game to deal with them.” “President Li is temporarily in charge of the Zombie Apocalypse game. The team leaders are not very satisfied with the allocation plan that President Li has set. They discussed it for a long time.” Fang Heng frowned. “Team leader Fang, are you interested in this mission?” “Yes, tell me in detail. What qualifications do I need to get it?” “In the end, President Li made the decision. According to the principle of fair competition, at the beginning of next month, a performance appraisal will be conducted for all the game teams of the company’s Zombie Apocalypse game in the first half of the year.” “In the end, the team with the highest overall performance will obtain the allocation authority for the S-level talent enhancement plan.” “Due to the difficulty and other reasons, there is a high probability that the mission of the enhancement plan will not be completed. Therefore, once the first-ranked team is unable to complete it within three days, it will automatically be handed over to the second-ranked team, and so on...” Performance appraisal? Fang Heng’s brows were tightly knitted together as he realized that the situation was not looking good. “Pei Anan, how’s the performance of our team?” “Uh... We’re a newly established department. Not long ago, team leader Fang completed a mission from the federation and obtained 5,000 performance points. Therefore, our total is 5,000 performance points, temporarily placing us in 12th place.” 12th... Last place?
