nAs expected, the Licker did not follow the path of the maze!

nAt first, it crawled along the wall made of logs for a few meters. Soon, it climbed up, trying to climb over from above.

n“Chi!!”

nWhen it touched the wooden spike trap, several small wounds were scraped on the Licker’s body.

nHowever, the Licker continued to move forward quickly!

nCarrying the damage from the spike trap, the Licker directly jumped over.

nAnother few rustling sounds could be heard.

nDozens of red shadows darted out of the prison building one after another!

nChen Yu instantly shuddered.

nOh no!

nThere were too many Lickers!

nAlthough the team led by Chen Yu was not of a high level and lacked actual combat experience, they had all received professional training within the federation.

nDuring the training, they had seen the Lickers’ combat scenes countless times!

nAt this moment, they still felt their scalps go numb when they saw nearly 20 Lickers coming out from the maze!

nThe 20 Lickers followed the path created by their ‘senior’ and climbed over the maze before quickly rushing towards Fang Heng and Liao Bufan.

nChen Yu’s heart sank.

nNot good!

nThe damage to the Lickers caused by the spike trap was extremely limited!

nThe Lickers directly ignored the damage and forced their way in!

nTheir plan failed!

n“Quick! Prepare to shoot! Protect Fang Heng!”

nChen Yu was about to give the order to shoot when he suddenly realized something. He stretched out his hand and signalled his members to stop shooting.

n“Eh? What’s going on?”

nWhy did the Lickers slow down?

nChen Yu revealed a shocked expression.

nHe noticed that a few Lickers that were climbing up the side of the log wall had accidentally slipped off the wall.

nAfter a few consecutive attempts, most of the Lickers stopped climbing up the wall. Instead, they spent a lot of time and effort going around the maze.

nWhy?

nWhat was going on?

nChen Yu was puzzled. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Fang Heng and Liao Bufan.

nAt this moment, Fang Heng and Liao Bufan had already run to the back and successfully climbed up a sentry tower not far away.

nChen Yu saw Liao Bufan holding a pistol and giving the Lickers who were circling the maze below the middle finger.

n“Hehe, mechanical lubricant, isn’t it cool? Have you never seen this thing before?”

nMechanical lubricant!

nChen Yu immediately understood.

nSo that’s how it was!

nThey had smeared lubricant on the spikes above!

nAs the Lickers’ limbs were covered in lubricant, their movement speed decreased slightly. They couldn’t even stick to the wall and climb!

n“Chen Yu! Do it!”

nHearing Fang Heng’s shout, Chen Yu immediately came back to his senses and gave the order for the team to attack.

n“Fire!”

n“Bang! Bang Bang!”

nThe elite federation players hiding in the sentry towers raised their guns and fired at the same time.

nGunshots rang out loudly!

nBullets rained down on the ground.

nThe Lickers were extremely fast!

nRelying on their powerful senses, they were able to flip back and forth in the narrow passage, dodging the bullets.

nEven though the lubricant on the Lickers had slightly reduced their mobility and the sentry towers helped to increase their hit rate, the damage was still not enough!

nChen Yu was completely focused. Cold sweat dripped down from his cheeks, and a large area of his back was drenched in sweat.

nThe only thing he could count on now was the maze to slow down the Lickers’ attack.

n“Bang!”

nAnother gunshot.

nChen Yu was stunned to find that the Licker’s head that he was trying to aim at exploded with a bang.

nWhat was going on?

nThe Licker’s head had been blown off!?

nHe turned around and looked at the sentry tower behind him.

nAn NPC was holding a pure black sniper rifle, aiming at the Licker below.

nSniper rifle?!

nA terrifying sniper rifle!

nAt this stage of the game, there was someone who could use a sniper rifle?!

nTaking a closer look, as many as five sniper rifles were poking out from the sentry towers!

nNPC!

nIt was the Dark Knights’ mercenaries!

nLooking at the armband on the NPC’s shoulder, the name flashed through Chen Yu’s mind.

nThat’s right!

nAt this stage of the game, the players’ levels were very low.

nAnd the requirement to use a sniper rifle was Level 10 gun mastery.

nWithin this server, the highest level players in the federation were still one-fifth away from Level 5 and needed to absorb nearly one-fifth of the evolution crystal fragments.

nOther than players, only elite NPCs of the Dark Knights could have the ability to use a sniper rifle!

nThis meant that Fang Heng had already completed the Dark Knights’ mission line?

nTo be able to mobilize so many elite Dark Knights meant that his level within the Dark Knights was extremely high!

nApart from that, he had to pay a large number of honor points for this.

nThe federation had only just received a mission related to the Dark Knights, and they were trying their best to seize the time to complete it.

nYet, not only had Fang Heng completed the mission, he even had a large number of honor points?

nHow did he do it?

nChen Yu could not understand it for a moment.

nEver since he came to the prison, he found that Fang Heng had more and more things that he could not understand.

n“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

nGunshots rang out in the square.

nChen Yu temporarily put down the doubts in his heart and turned his head to look at the prison square.

nThe power of a sniper rifle was much greater than a normal pistol!

nEven though a sniper rifle was still unable to kill a Licker in one shot.

nUnless it hit a vital point, a sniper rifle would need at least three shots to take out a Licker.

nMoreover, there was a limit to its accuracy.

nHowever, the members of the Dark Knights who controlled the sniper rifle were all elites!

nCoupled with the bonus to their accuracy from the sentry tower, their accuracy was maintained at 80%.

nThe Lickers who were running around in the maze had nowhere to hide and were gradually dying under the sniper rifle’s fire.

nSo it turned out that the Dark Knights were Fang Heng’s killing move against these Lickers!

nTheir federal team was merely icing on the cake.

nSince when did their federation elite team become a part of the numbers?

nCompared to the elites of the Dark Knights…

nChen Yu felt a sense of inferiority. He could not help but turn around and look at the sentry tower where Fang Heng was.

nJust how many secrets was Fang Heng hiding from them?

nHint: The Dark Knights that you temporarily recruited have killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-Licker. You have obtained survival points*29, you have obtained a Licker sample*1. Current mission: Collect Licker sample completion rate: 2%. Current mission: Clear Tier 2 zombies completion rate: 1%.

nHint: The Dark Knights that you temporarily recruited has killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-Licker. You have obtained survival points*29, you have obtained a Licker…

n“Success.”

nFang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the messages that were gradually appearing in the game log.

nThe plan was perfect.

nThe Lickers were slowed down by the maze that was built and fell under the attack of the sniper rifle.

nOn one side, Liao Bufan, who had been chased around for half a day, held a pistol in one hand while the other took out a bag of chocolates from his backpack and he started chewing on them.

n“Sigh!”

nHe sighed and silently watched as the Lickers continued to die at the hands of the federation and the mercenaries. He then turned his head to look at Fang Heng.

n“A survival game has been turned into a tower defense game. Boss, you’re something!”

n
