Chapter 408: Rumors

The blinding light gradually dimmed, and the Lickers were still in a state of dizziness.

With the help of the light, the players could clearly see the vast number of Lickers surrounding them. For a moment, they were extremely shocked and terrified.

Wasn’t this battle an ambush? Weren’t they preparing to catch Fang Heng off guard?

The players wondered if they had been ambushed by Fang Heng instead.

Tao Yunlei was also stunned. He looked at the zombie team in front of him in disbelief, his mind blank.

He was a spy planted by the Federation in the various large-sized gaming unions.

According to the intelligence, Fang Heng had left Edge Creek Town with more than ten trucks full of boxes, and there was a high chance that he would head to the Dark Knights’ camp.

He had never expected that the big boxes were actually filled with Tyrants.

“Quick! Retreat! ” Tian Zhen shouted, taking advantage of the Lickers’ still dazed state.

Now, he couldn’t care less about whether Fang Heng was on the truck or not.

They had been tricked, and the enemy had definitely come prepared!

A dense barrage of bullets bombarded the Tyrant forms and Lickers.

Other than the large caliber bullets that could stop the Tyrant forms’ footsteps, the remaining bullets could not cause any damage to the Tyrant forms. They were directly blocked by the vines under the Tyrant forms’ skin.

Meanwhile, the Lickers had also received some of Fang Heng’s attribute bonuses. Their HP was much higher than a normal zombie corpse!

Presently, survival was more important. The players were fighting while retreating. They threw flashbang after flashbang at the zombie team, trying their best to delay the zombie team.

As most of the players were elites from the various gaming unions, the situation was relatively not chaotic.

“Hint: the trucks you rented have been damaged. Your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have been reduced. A portion of your Scavenger Army contribution points will be deducted... ”

“Hint: your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have slightly reduced. ”

Not far away, Fang Heng walked out of the passenger seat.

With the help of the Vampire Bloodline’s night vision ability, he swept his gaze across the battlefield and soon saw a familiar face among the retreating players.

It was Dragon Country Guild’s Niu Xia.

Fang Heng’s face darkened slightly. “How despicable to launch a sneak attack! ”

He did not feel any heartache about losing his reputation points and contribution points. It was just that the ambush had caused him to lose nearly one-third of his trucks!

That way, the speed of transporting the medicinal ingredients would be forced to decrease by quite a bit.

“They’ll have to pay the price! ” Fang Heng was extremely displeased. With a wave of his hand, he controlled the Lickers to pounce forward.

Screech! Screech, screech!

After being stunned, the scarlet Lickers quickly surrounded the players from all directions.

The effect of the flashbangs on the Lickers was becoming more and more limited.

“We can’t delay any longer! ”

When Niu Xia saw that the space for retreat was becoming smaller and smaller, he couldn’t help but shout, “Everyone, spread out and run as far as you can! ”

After saying that, without waiting for the others to respond, Niu Xia led his party members to escape from the side.

The rest of the players cursed silently in their hearts. They were filled with disdain for Niu Xia being the first one to rush for escape.

However, they also knew clearly that what Niu Xia said was presently the best method at the moment!

They did not have any heavy weapons that could kill the Tyrant forms.

If the situation dragged on, only death would await them!

Seeing that Niu Xia had taken the lead to escape, the other player guilds also scattered and fled. They quickly disappeared into the night.

“Did he run away? ” Fang Heng gritted his teeth. He felt inwardly dissatisfied.

He could not spread his control across too many groups of Lickers, so he simply split them into two groups. One group chased after Niu Xia’s player team while the other looked for an opportunity to kill.

“Hint: your zombie clone Licker has received fatal damage. ”

“Hint: your zombie clone Licker has used a skill to dodge the enemy’s attack. ”

“Hint: your zombie clone Licker has killed a player... ”

“Hint: your zombie clone Licker has died... ”

A series of game hints refreshed before him.

Without being able to directly see the situation, Fang Heng was unable to fully control the Lickers, so he could only give them a simple command to chase after the targets.

The Lickers that chased after the targets were quickly killed one by one.

Realizing that the death rate of the Lickers was increasing, Fang Heng understood that the players were using tactics to defeat them one by one.

Fang Heng had no choice but to recall all of them.

More than ten minutes later, the zombie team had completely regrouped.

After one battle, only about one-third of the players had been eliminated.

Looking at the Scavenger Army NPCs that were cleaning up the mess, Fang Heng muttered softly, “There seems to be a problem... ”

Niu Xia had planted explosive packs in the middle of the road in advance. It was clearly a planned ambush, and he knew that Fang Heng’s travel route.

“Who could it be that leaked my location? ” Fang Heng mused.

Few people in the game knew that he collected ingredients from the Dark Knights.

“Cheng Ya? ” Fang Heng slowly withdrew his gaze from the darkness.

Fortunately, the Scavenger Army members did not suffer much damage in the earlier wave of battle. The low-level members of the army who were injured in the explosion drank a few mouthfuls of the warlord potion and immediately more or less recovered.

After reorganizing the team, the Scavenger Army members began to move the boxes loaded on the trailer behind the truck out one by one.

The boxes were all loaded with cart components.

Soon, the construction of a cart was completed. More than 30 Tyrant forms pulled the large cart along the path to the mountainside while being escorted by the Lickers.

Fang Heng’s original plan was to bring the Tyrant forms to the mountainside to carry the goods, but who would have thought that they would be attacked on the way.

They could only consider themselves unlucky.

...

Outside the Dark Knights’ camp, Ai Lei silently looked at the group of Tyrant forms that were pulling the cart and wore a strange expression on his face.

“So the research on zombies in District 8 has already reached this stage, huh, Fang Heng? ”

“It’s not that advanced. We’re still spending a lot of money on research, ” Fang Heng humbly said.

“All right. ”

While the elite Dark Knights loaded the ingredients back onto the cart, Ai Lei took the opportunity to pull Fang Heng aside and ask in a low voice, “Fang Heng, do you know Hu Xuanxuan? ”

“Who’s that? I’ve never heard of her. ”

“That’s strange. ”

“What’s wrong? ”

“Hu Xuanxuan is a senior member of the Dark Knights. She’s been asking around about you. She thinks that the recent movements of the Scavenger Army are related to you. ”

Fang Heng frowned slightly. “Hu Xuanxuan’s probably a player. ”

“Other than Hu Xuanxuan, many people in the Dark Knights think that there is something amiss about you. Now, even the higher-ups of the Dark Knights have some doubts about you. ”

“Hint: affected by special player factors. Your reputation points in the Dark Knights have decreased. ”

“Hint: affected by special player factors. Your friendship with the Dark Knights has declined. ”

Fang Heng’s heart sank again. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was very wrong.
