n“G-virus? There’s a secret passage and a safe?”

nListening to their conversation, Fang Heng thought that he was lucky.

nFortunately, he met this group of people who showed him the way. Otherwise, it would have taken him a long time to search the hardware store by himself.

nIf he didn’t meet Old Black and the others, Fang Heng would probably have asked the zombies to tear down the entire hardware store!

nIt would take a lot of time and effort to do that, and he didn’t know the password to the hidden safe.

nFang Heng hid in the dark and took out a concave-shaped mask from his backpack.

nPutting on the mask, Fang Heng secretly ordered the vine zombies to launch a sneak attack.

nDeng Xin and the other two didn’t notice anything strange. They pushed the shelf open with great effort, revealing the hidden door behind the shelf.

nSeeing that the passage was opened, Deng Xin was about to say something.

nSuddenly, she felt a cold sensation coming from the back of her neck.

n“Chi! Chi! Chi!!!”

n‘The faint sound made Deng Xin quiver.

nShe didn’t have time to turn around, her pupils suddenly constricted.

n“Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!!”

nIn the next moment, Deng Xin felt that her neck was tightly grasped by someone!

nShe subconsciously reached out to touch her throat.

n“Shoosh!”

n“Dong! !”

nDeng Xin’s throat was tightly wrapped by the vines, and she was lifted into the air!

nIn the process, her body crashed into a shelf at the side with a loud thump.

n“What!!”

nEverything happened in a flash.

n‘Mu Zikun and Tang Xun heard the sound, and as soon as they turned their heads, their expressions changed drastically!

nThe vines hanging from the sky grabbed onto Deng Xin’s neck, pulling her up and hanging her in the air.

nVines?!

nWhere did they come from?

nTheir hearts pounded violently and they immediately looked up.

nFive or six vine zombies were clinging to the steel beam with their vines!

nDeng Xin struggled with all her might. She frantically took out her machete and stabbed upwards, trying to save herself.

n“Hold on!”

nMu Zikun was the first to regain his senses. He rushed forward to help.

nJust as he was about to go forward, he seemed to have tripped on something and stumbled as he rushed forward.

n“ah!!”

nMu Zikun let out a blood-curdling scream.

n‘The world spun around him.

nHe was dragged up into the air by the vines wrapped around his feet.

n‘Mu Zikun’s mind was buzzing.

nIt was not easy for him to get used to the world upside-down. He quickly looked around and tried to escape.

nMu Zikun’s heart sank.

nIt’s over!

n‘Tang Xun was in the same predicament as him. His feet were tightly wrapped by the vines and he was hanging upside down in the air.

n“Chi! Chi! Chi!”

nMore and more vines were wrapped around Mu Zikun and Tang Xun until their hands and feet were all tightly bounded!

nOn the other side, Deng Xin was wrapped by the vines to the point of suffocation. She felt her vision becoming increasingly blurry.

nShe could no longer hold on to the knife in her hand and it eventually fell to the ground.

nSuddenly, the vines around Deng Xin’s neck loosened.

n“Bang!”

nDeng Xin fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

nBarely surviving from the attack, Deng Xin could not help but cover her throat and cough dryly.

n“Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!”

nDeng Xin raised her head and before she could even save her teammates, a black muzzle was placed on her face.

nDeng Xin’s face was pale.

nFang Heng used a large-calibre shotgun in front of Deng Xin.

n“Come, give me a reason to let you live.”

nDeng Xin looked at Fang Heng in horror.

nFang Heng’s entire body was hidden in the shadows.

nThe cartoonish mask on his face made Deng Xin’s hair stand on end.

n“We can give you everything we have. As long as you let us go, we can also give you everything outside of the game.”

n“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don’t play tricks with me.”

n“article 66 of the federal emergency evacuation regulations. You can take whatever you want from the King of Gods’ game, but once you are outside of the game, it’s considered extortion.”

nFang Heng curled his lips, cocked his head and asked, “Do you want to live?”

nDeng Xin did not want to die. She nodded frantically.

nAfter calming down and thinking about it, Deng Xin finally realized how terrifying this mysterious person in front of her was.

nAbove her head, the densely packed vine zombies hiding in the darkness were all manipulated by him!

nThis person was a demon!

nHe had been hiding here from the start! He was waiting for the team to come knocking on his door.

nAfter briefly weighing the difference in strength between the two sides, Deng Xin immediately lost the will to resist.

nShe couldn’t win!

nAll she wanted now was to survive.

n“Take out everything in your backpack.”

nDeng Xin immediately did as she was told. She emptied all the materials in her backpack and placed them on the ground one by one.

nFang Heng pointed his shotgun at Deng Xin and stared at her coldly.

nOn the surface, he remained calm, but in his heart, he was excited with what she got.

nGood fellow!

nShe even brought a pistol and a small explosive pack!

nFang Heng thought that this group of people had indeed come prepared. He quickly put all of Deng Xin’s materials back into his backpack.

n“Very good. I need to know some things. If we cooperate, I can spare your life.”

nDeng Xin quickly nodded. “We will work together!”

n“Okay.”

nFang Heng nodded and waved his hand.

n“Chi! Chi! Chi!!!”

n‘Tang Xun and Mu Zikun, who were both hanging in the air, were immediately dragged into the darkness by the vines.

nDeng Xin’s face turned pale.

n“What do you want?”

n“To prevent collusion, of course. It’s always done like this in the movies.”

nFang Heng shrugged and said in a matter-of-factly tone.

n“alright, answer the question honestly. Don’t try to hide anything.”

n“Why are you here? Tell me more details. Start from the beginning.”

nDeng Xin nodded and started from the beginning.

n“We’re a player team. We received a request from the black market. The client hopes that we can help him retrieve something from the hardware store.”

n“We accepted the mission four days ago. The day before yesterday, when we were cleaning up the hardware store, we discovered that there were Tier 2 ghost claw zombies in the store. At that time, our team was unable to deal with them.”

n“So, our employer prepared explosives and guns for us today. We were going to kill the ghost claw zombies.”

n“We didn’t expect that the ghost-claw zombies had been cleared up after coming here. After that, I saw you and those…”

nDeng Xin raised her head and looked up at Fang Heng with lingering fear.

nFang Heng used his chin to indicate the secret passage behind her.

n“And then? What about that secret passage?”

n“Tm not sure about the details. The client only told me the location of the secret passage and that there is a safe under the secret passage.”

nDeng Xin thought for a moment, then immediately added.

n“The password to open the safe is ‘eavan’. We only need to take out the thing in the safe and give it to the client to complete the mission.”

n“What is it?”

n“The employer said it’s a G-virus.”

n“Who is the employer?”

n“I don’t know his specific identity. His ID on the internet is Old Black. He looks about 70 to 80 years old and is 1.6 meters tall. There’s nothing special about him. He’s outside right now and didn’t follow us in.”

n“Very good.”

nFang Heng snapped his fingers as he spoke..
