Chapter 141: Attraction

Rows of game notifications refreshed, and Fang Heng noticed that some of the materials in the shelter had disappeared.
The underground shelter expanded again.
After the renovation, Fang Heng had gained twice as much extra space as before!
“It’s enough for now!”
Fang Heng checked the two new functions of the shelter after the upgrade.
One was the recruitment of NPCs.
Now, the shelter could attract survivors up to C-level.
It was not bad. After all, survivors below C-level had almost no special skills.
Only C rank survivors had the potential to become lab workers.
The other was the increase in the shelter’s defense value.
Unlike ordinary buildings, after players built a shelter, it would be considered an entire building. Any attack on it would reduce its overall durability.
When its overall durability was reduced to a certain extent, the shelter would be deemed destroyed. Only intruders could destroy the walls of the shelter.
In addition, by consuming additional materials, the player could replace the wooden walls of the shelter with stone walls, which would increase the basic defense and durability of the shelter.
There was no shortage of basic materials like stones. Fang Heng planned to let the zombies use stones to level up the shelter after this mission.
[Hint: As the first player in the server to reach Level 25, your reputation among the survivors has been slightly spread. You have received an additional reward: C-level NPC survivor*5, please receive the operation in the survival radio.]
[Hint: As your shelter has reached Level 25, as the owner of the shelter, you have received an exclusive skill-super large backpack.]
Skill-Super-large backpack.
Skill description: You have obtained an additional 20 kg of backpack capacity for your current character’s level.
“Eh? There’s such a good thing?”
The super large backpack skill was the icing on the cake, and the C-level NPCs were relatively more powerful.
Fang Heng turned on the survival radio to observe.
[Hint: You can choose the type of C-level NPC survivor.]
Fang Heng took a look.
There were many types of NPCs, such as machinery maintenance, cooking, combat, gathering, research, farming, tailoring, machinery research, construction and so on.
At this stage, Fang Heng did not lack survival-type materials. Farming NPCs could be considered later.
He directly chose research!
[Hint: You have chosen a survivor with research attributes. The survivors will gather outside your shelter within 30 minutes.]
After upgrading the shelter, Fang Heng rubbed his chin and continued to think.
Now, the expansion of the shelter was on the right track.
First of all, the demolition plan was still going smoothly.
With the prison as the center, all the buildings within a three-kilometer radius had been cleared.
The next step was to clear out all the players in the forest area, set up a restricted area and then expand again.
After that was research.
Most of the basic equipment in the lab had been repaired. The rest were limited by skill levels or missing high-level materials and could not be repaired.
In short, after getting a secret lab for free, the shelter’s research and development speed had greatly increased!
After all, two S-level researchers contributed to a huge boost in research!
Finally, there was the material aspect.
The development was the most gratifying!
All the zombies were already equipped with iron weapons and iron tools, and the iron nuggets forged had already accumulated to several thousand.
It was officially announced that they have entered the Iron Age!
Fang Heng began to think about the next step of his plan.
Reinforcement!
Expansion!
Strengthening the shelter, upgrading all the stone walls and transforming the outer buildings of the prison into barbed wire, so that they could be ready for the arrival of the first blood moon zombie wave.
At the same time, he would continue to expand and harvest resources, until they occupied this forest area!
To increase speed, he needed more and stronger zombie clones!
Research was a must!
In addition, the current level increase of his character had become urgent.
Fang Heng opened the page and looked at the player’s attributes.
The player’s level had risen to Level 13.
To continue to level up, he needed more Tier 1 evolution crystals.
Tier 1 evolution crystals were extremely difficult to produce.
Only by killing a Tier 2 zombie would there be a chance for them to drop evolution crystals.
There were almost no missions related to Tier 2 zombies on the apocalypse merchant Vettel’s side.
There were also very few related missions within the Dark Knights.
To upgrade from Level 13 to Level 14, nearly 60 to 70 Tier 1 evolution crystals were required. One or two ordinary missions were simply not enough to fill this gap.
He had to consider other aspects.
For example…
Pine City.
There should be high-level mutated zombies in that dangerous area!
He would be going to Pine City the next day. If there was an opportunity, Fang Heng did not mind thinking of ways to dig a large-scale corpse pit there to farm survival points and evolution crystals.
Just as he was thinking, an NPC knocked on the door.
“Boss, Mr David from the Dark Knights is here. I’ve brought him to the reception room.”
“Okay, I’ll be there right away!”
In the reception room, David paced back and forth, looking restless.
“Welcome to my shelter, David. How is it here?”
“Very good.”
Seeing Fang Heng, David smiled. “Fang Heng, long time no see. How are you?”
“Tm fine. Come, sit down and talk.”
“No, something happened. I have to rush to another gathering point later.”
David brought Fang Heng to the table and said seriously, “I’m here to explain to you about the operation in Pine City tomorrow.”
“This time, we have a total of twelve teams going to Pine City together. Each team has six people.”
“A total of 72 people? That many?”
Fang Heng was shocked.
“Not only that, including the command team, we have a total of nearly 80 people.”
“Based on our current investigation, Meteorite Company has built a super large company park in Pine City. At that time, our 12 teams will spread out in the company park and gradually search.”
While speaking, David took out a map and spread it out on the round table in the reception room.
“The specific search task will be assigned by the team leader after the field inspection. This is gathering point No. 8 which is closest to you. The helicopter will depart at 11 o’clock tomorrow. It is expected to arrive in Pine City at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.”
“If it goes well, we will stay in Pine City for one night. The helicopter will arrive at noon the next day to pick us up and evacuate from Pine City.”
Fang Heng looked at the location of the gathering point on the map.
It was a little far, about two hours by car.
With this calculation, they would have to set off early the next morning.
“also, when I came here, I received very bad news.”
David said in a deep voice, “Our original plan was to prepare fifteen teams to enter Pine City together, but this morning, eight of the surviving points were attacked from unknown sources. Three of them were completely destroyed.”
Destroyed? Someone was interfering with this mission?
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched.
The first thing he thought of was Old Black.
“Tm not sure, but one thing is certain. Our operation this time is very likely to have been leaked. Someone doesn’t want us to enter Pine City to investigate.”
“Later, I’ll rush to the scene to conduct a detailed on-site investigation. I hope we can find something.”
“Be careful.” David patted Fang Heng’s shoulder. “This is the first large-scale operation since the founding of our Dark Knights. We can’t afford to make any mistakes.”
