nAfter a long time.

nLucia was still fiddling with the tower’s base station.

nShe looked anxious.

nNo!

nIt’s not working!

nNo matter how hard she tried, the damaged base station could not receive long-distance signals.

nLucia could not help but be anxious, tears welling up in her eyes.

nIt’s over, it looks like the situation is bad…

nLooking at Lucia’s state, Mo Jiawei panicked.

nHe no longer had any appetite, so he carefully nudged Fang Heng, who was checking the boxes of materials at the side.

n“Fang Heng, Lucia doesn’t look too good, should we go ask her about the situation?”

n“Yes, that makes sense, go ask her.”

nSeeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Fang Heng followed Mo Jiawei to Lucia’s side.

n“The situation is not good?”

n“Yes, the parts of the base station are badly damaged. I just barely assembled the base station of the tower, and it’s almost usable.”

nLucia lowered her head and pursed her lips.

nShe was still adjusting the tower.

n“But the effect is very limited now. The receiving and transmitting power of the base station is very low, and the signal interference is very strong. It can only receive signals within a range of 100 meters at most.”

nOnly a range of 100 meters?

nWhen Mo Jiawei heard what Lucia said, his heart instantly turned cold.

nWasn’t this the end of the world?

nA shout could be heard within 100 meters, what’s the use of this base station?

nFortunately, he didn’t foolishly run out to confront the monster earlier on. Otherwise, if he desperately picked up a piece of junk, wouldn’t he be angered to death?

nMechanical maintenance?

nIsn’t this a coincidence!?

nFang Heng lamented that the saying “Having many skills doesn’t weigh you down” made some sense. He pointed at himself.

n“Why don’t you let me try?”

nAs he said this, Fang Heng took out a portable wrench from his backpack.

n‘Mo Jiawei was pleasantly surprised!

nHe looked at Fang Heng excitedly.

n“God! Do you know mechanical maintenance?”

n“Look at what you said, We are all support-type players. Aren’t these all basic skills?”

nIn this era, being a support-type player had to know many things?

nLooking at Mo Jiawei’s shocked expression, Fang Heng became open-minded.

nHe had finally gotten the reaction that he couldn’t get from Qiu Yaokang!

n“Tm just joking with you.”

nFang Heng chuckled, patted Mo Jiawei’s shoulder and walked to the damaged communication base station.

n{Hint: You obtained a skill-mechanical maintenance.

nHint: The current machinery to be repaired-damaged communication tower base station. Current damage degree: 29% (usable) (repairable).

nHint: This repair is expected to reduce the damage by 2%-8%. Required tool: wrench. Required cost: iron nuggets*14, nails*17, basic parts*8, vitality*12.

n(Hint: Current maintenance difficulty: C.

nThis was only a C-level maintenance difficulty.

nThis was going to be easy!

nFor the past two days, Fang Heng had been controlling the zombie clone to help Qiu Yaokang repair the laboratory equipment at night.

nMost of what he encountered was A-S level maintenance difficulty.

nMost of the high-difficulty maintenance only had a success rate of 20-40%.

nIn the later stages, he relied on a large number of materials yet met with failures consecutively!

nAfter a period of torture, Fang Heng’s mechanical maintenance level had long reached the maximum which was at Level 13.

nDealing with this kind of equipment was not a big problem.

nFang Heng took out parts from the emergency maintenance tool supply box at the side.

nAlong channelling bar appeared above his head.

nIn less than half a minute, the channelling bar was completed.

nHint: This maintenance has been judged successful, damage of tower base station reduced by 5%.

nSimple!

nFang Heng continued to repair the tower base station three times until the damage was reduced to 13%.

nHe raised his head again and looked at Lucia who was waiting anxiously.

n“Come and try it.”

n“It’s fixed?”

n‘Was it that easy?

nLucia could not believe Fang Heng’s words when she saw how easily he fixed the tower base station.

n“The initial maintenance is successful. If we want to completely repair it, we need high-level precision instruments.”

n“The supply box that we found was mostly damaged. We can’t find any ready-made tools inside.”

nFang Heng raised the wrench in his hand as he spoke.

n“If you can find some high-level machinery for me to dismantle, we might be able to find it.”

n“Anyway, you try it first. The signal range now is much wider than before.”

nLucia was skeptical.

nShe walked to the tower and tried to restart the communication tower base station.

n“Chi, chi, chi…”

nAs soon as the base station was turned on, the noisy sound of electricity came from inside the base station.

nIt really could be done!

nLucia’s face showed a pleasantly surprised expression.

nShe found that after Fang Heng’s maintenance, the signal strength of the tower was greatly increased!

nFang Heng knew maintenance skills!

nLucia hurriedly contacted Barker’s communicator again.

n“The communication connection is successful!”

nAfter a few attempts, there was another electrical noise from the radio.

nA familiar voice came from the radio.

n“Lucia? Lucia! Is that you?!”

n“Brother? Are you okay? Where are you now?”

n“Tm fine, Lucia. Our team is fine. I’m in the Whitechapel area now. After the plane crashed, we occupied this area and are still safe for the time being. How are you guys doing?”

n“We’re also safe now. I’m so worried about you.

n“I’s okay, Lucia. You have to be strong. Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei are by your side, right? Help me get through to them. I have something to say to them.”

nLucia nodded and opened Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei’s communicator settings.

nFang Heng immediately took out his communicator.

n“Fang Heng, Mo Jiawei, it’s so good to know that you’re safe.”

n“We were barely lucky, but Captain Barker, you’re not in a good situation right now, are you?”

nFang Heng had already guessed a thing or two.

nHe had just vaguely heard gunshots and the screams of zombies from the radio.

nThis meant that Barker’s team was still threatened by the zombie horde.

nSecondly, Barker asked for a private chat to avoid Lucia.

nIf Lucia knew that Barker was still in danger, she would probably lead her team to rescue him.

nIt was late at night, and this kind of action was no different from seeking death.

n“Well, the situation is not good,” Barker said in a deep voice, “There is a group of zombies outside the church, and they are still attacking the church.”

n“We can still hold on for a while. How’s your team?”

n“The overall situation is still alright. The zombies in the city are too many. We can’t get out, so we’re hiding in a jewellery shop for the time being.”

n“We just found a way to collect the materials left around the wreckage of the plane and build the base station for the communication tower.”

nFang Heng made a rough estimate and continued, “It is expected that we can only try to leave tomorrow morning at the earliest to seek help.”

n“You did well, Fang Heng.”

n“This time, we were attacked halfway through the operation. This is indeed beyond our expectations.”

n“We suffered heavy losses. Considering the risk, I think this mission has ended here.”

n“The mission has changed. I need you to try your best to find the members of the Dark Knights and confirm whether they are safe. Try your best to lead all the survivors out of Pine City safely..”
