n(Hint: Your zombie group has mined iron ore 1207. You have gained 4126

nmining experience points.

n(Hint: A portion of your zombie group has completed a round of growth. You

nhave gained 55 zombie clone proliferators.)

n(Hint: Your mining skill has been upgraded to Level 11.)

nWhen Fang Heng drove back to the abandoned mine, some of the zombies that

nhadn’t fought had completed their first wave of growth.

nHe did a quick check.

nThe attributes and skills of the newly-born zombie proliferators were the same

nas the zombie clones!

nIn other words, the proliferators of the vine zombies were the evolved version

nof the vine zombies.

nOrdinary zombies could only produce ordinary zombies

nFang Heng did some calculations.

nOriginally, he only had 55 zombies at Level 1o, but now, he had levelled up to

nLevel 13

nAfter he went through the SSS-level talent enhancement, he estimated that in

nanother 15 hours, he would have a total of 384 zombies in his ideal state!

nThat was almost seven times the number of zombies!

nThat was awesome.

nWith seven times the number of zombies, their hacking efficiency would at

nleast increase by four to five times?

nHowever, he faced another challenge with the increase in zombies.

nWith so many more zombies, Fang Heng needed to prepare more than 300 sets

nof iron tools and equipment for the zombies.

nThe number of iron nuggets was insufficient again.

nFang Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment. Most of his zombie

nclones could only use the basic wooden tools.

nIn addition, the number of zombies had increased by seven times. The mining

nspeed could be guaranteed.

nIn comparison, to increase the forging speed of the iron, more furmaces were

nneeded.

nThe Dawn Gaming Guild had indeed given three furnaces for free.

nIt was still insufficient!

nThey still needed to purchase another batch from the apocalypse merchant

nVettel.

nThe biggest problem at the moment was still the lack of survival points!

nIt was too slow to collect survival points just by relying on the zombies “wild

nhack”!

nAfter making up his mind, Fang Heng first used a batch of newly produced iron

nnuggets to produce iron pickaxes and let the zombie clones distribute the

npickaxes among themselves to continue mining.

nThen, he called a few more zombie clones and loaded the unrefined iron ore

ninto the truck.

n“Tt’s been a long time since I last visited my old friend Vettel.”

nFang Heng activated the military truck and revealed a smile.

nTt was time to fulfil his long-cherished wish and empty his shop!

nFang Heng drove the truck back to the apocalypse merchant camp.

nAs usual, the NPCs instinctively gathered toward the truck as they looked at the

nlarge truck driving into the camp.

nSeeing the pile of ores behind the truck, the NPC porters all had the same

nexpression as expected.

nOne by one, they started to move the iron ore out of the truck

n“Fang Heng! Long time no see!

nVettel came out of the house with two bottles of wine and handed a bottle to

nFang Heng

n“Let me gues, what good stuff did you bring me this time?

n“Stop guessing, it’s iron ore! Your camp must need these things, right?”

n“Of course! I need them! You’re my lucky star.”

nVettel glanced at the porters who were moving the iron ore out.

n“You brought so much?

nHe was a little surprised.

n“I remember there’s an abandoned mine nearby. Did you occupy that place?

n“You’re right!”

nHint: You have submitted 200 units of iron ore to apocalypse merchant Vettel.

nYou have received 600 survival points.

nHint: You have completed the mission-collect iron ore.

n(Hint: Your friendship with merchant Vettel has increased.

nHint: You have submitted 200 units of iron ore to apocalypse merchant Vettel.

nYou have received 600 survival points.

nHint: You have completed.

nThe porters took more than 20 minutes to clear the truck.

nVettel had long finished a bottle of beer.

nFang Heng looked at the game log.

nHe had earned 45,00o survival points from this truck of iron ore.

nThe camp was still purchasing from the outside world and had not reached the

nupper limit

nHe could continue farming!

nMax out!

nFang Heng glanced at Vettel bes

nEmpty his shop!

n“Vettel, I still need to buy some furnaces from you.”

n“Hmm, furnaces. Let me see. This thing is not easy to get. Every month, I sell a

nlimited number of furnaces to the public.”

n“You’re lucky. The current survivors don’t need this thing. There’s got a lot of

nthem.”

n“Don’t worry. With our relationship, I’ll give you the lowest price.”

nFang Heng opened the trading page to check.

nThere were a total of 20 furnaces in the camp, and the price was 2000 points

neach.

nFang Heng waved his hand.

nEmpty it!

nHint: you spent 40,o00 survival points to buy the furnace*20.

n“Please come back again next time!”

nAfter going back and forth to the apocalypse camp, Fang Heng returned to the

nabandoned mine with the furnaces.

nIn the abandoned mine, Fang Heng controlled the zombies to start working on

nthe 23 furmaces at the same time!

nThe temperature in the entire mine rose sharply!

nAfter only staying for a few minutes, Fang Heng’s back was already drenched in

nsweat.

nThe zombies were still good employees!

nThey could still work even in such an environment!

nWith the furmace, the smelting speed of the iron nuggets increased greatly.

nSimilarly, the consumption rate of coal ore as fuel also increased greatly.

nIt was estimated that the fuel would be used up in three to four hours.

nFor the time being, logs could be cut into firewood as raw materials.

nHowever, doing so would consume too much energy and waste too much time.

nThe small-scale coal mine that they found a while ago had not been fully

ndeveloped yet, so they could continue to mine…

n“There are still many things that need to be dealt with to get everything on the

nright track.

nFang Heng wiped the sweat off his forehead and sent a few zombies over to

nsplit the logs, preparing to use them as backup fuel after the coal ores were

nused up.

n“Take it slow

nIt lasted until 1 a.m.

nBy the time all the zombies had completed their third growth, the entire

nabandoned mine was already filled with zombie clones.

n384, no more, no less.

nFang Heng counted the number of zombies and started controlling the

nzombies to hack” in batches.

nHe first differentiated a group of vine zombie proliferators.

nWith the existence of the clones, the proliferators could be resurrected in six

nhours, so there wouldn’t be any pain when they died.

nHe changed their tools into small iron hammers and told them to go out and

ncarry out the ‘demolition plan’ that had a slight risk.

nSpecifically, they would search the entire forest area and demolish all the small

nshelters that could be seen in the forest area!

nThis would greatly reduce the chances of players respawning nearby!

nThe remaining zombie clones split into three groups.

nOne group continued to mine iron, while the other was responsible for

ncontrolling the furnaces to forge iron.

nThe last group was equipped with iron pickaxes and headed to the former

nmining site to mine coal.

n“That’s more like it..”

nAfter racking his brains, Fang Heng finally finished the zombies’ hack plan.

nHe made a rough calculation in his heart.

nWith this efficiency, in two days at most, the zombie clones’ equipment could

nbe changed, officially entering the Iron Age.

nSo tired..

nYawning, Fang Heng couldn’t hold on any longer and went offline on the spot.

nAt two o’clock in the morning, the Phoenix Sound Gaming Company was still

nbrightly lit.

n“President Li, we’ve checked, and indeed, we can’t find anything wrong with

nFang Heng on the books”

nLi Ru was extremely frustrated.

nFang Heng’s resignation had caused her to receive quite a bit of criticism in the

ncompany.

nShe tried her best to suppress her anger.

n“You can’t find anything? Are you trying to tell me that I’m wrong?”

n“Then let me ask you, where did the wooden planks that Fang Heng submitted

nto the federation come from? There has to be a source, right?

nSecretary Zhang felt bitter in his heart.

nHe couldn’t understand this question no matter how much he thought about it.

n“We also asked a few new employees who work in Team 12.”

n“And then? What did they say?”

nZhang Linhuï’s expression was very strange.

nHe stammered, “They said that these wooden planks were randomly picked up

nin the forest.”

n
