Chapter 1803 Countermeasure

As he spoke, Fang Heng’s tone became even more gloomy, “If it doesn’t work, we’ll just make a move.”

Lu Yanlong swallowed his saliva carefully and looked at Fang Heng.

“Mr. Fang, are you sure you want to go this far?”

“This is a rare opportunity. Be mentally prepared. Let’s make a bet. This is the last time.”

Making a gamble again?

And he said this was the last time?

Lu Yanlong thought to himself, “I don’t believe you.”

He had thought that Mr. Fang’s plan was unreliable.

He had to deal with so many commander-level creatures alone?

Wasn’t he a complete lunatic?

Now, he had to do something under the Federation’s nose.

The risk increased exponentially.

However, Mr. Fang was so lucky that he won every time.

Fang Heng saw Lu Yanlong’s nervous expression and patted him on the shoulder. He said, “Don’t be so nervous. Keep smiling. You’re making people feel suspicious.”

Lu Yanlong nodded and patted his face, trying hard to make his facial muscles less stiff. He revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, “Okay.”

Fang Heng was helpless.

The Federation’s collection of sarcophagi was an extremely important part of his leveling plan.

If anything went wrong, he would have to think of another way to obtain the Tier 3 mutant crystal.

This way, it was very likely that he would not be able to complete the Level 40 upgrade within a month!

He had to take a gamble!

“Let’s begin.”

What else could he do?

Lu Yanlong also accepted his fate. He took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Fang, we must be careful. A team of elite players from the advanced game world is waiting for us at the federal camp. They will arrive in half an hour. We must not meet them head-on.”

“Alright.”

Fang Heng nodded.

After all, they were elite players in a high-level game. Their combat power might be on par with Charlene’s.

Imagine the worst-case scenario, he would have to face a team of players formed by many Charlenes…

Who could withstand this?

The two of them walked out of the dense forest and followed a small path that temporarily opened up to the cave where the medium-sized mausoleum was located.

In the past two days, Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong had been assisting the Federation in completing the sarcophagus transportation mission. The few Federation players guarding the entrance already recognized the two of them.

As time passed, everyone began to relax a little in their task of guarding the sarcophagus.

They had traveled a long distance to transport the sarcophagus. The players chose to stay here for a while and would not immediately chase them away.

It was only when the Federation’s higher-ups gave the order to increase their vigilance that they began to chase the players away.

The guard recognized Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong and did not do a detailed identity verification check on them. He directly let them in and even nodded at them.

After Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong entered the cave, they walked towards the direction of the mausoleum.

Along the way, they could see scattered federal guards on duty.

Fang Heng had estimated the defense level of the cave and had considered forcing his way through.

Soon, the two of them passed through a narrow passage and entered a large cave on the right side of the cave.

Seeing the rows of sarcophagi inside the cave, Fang Heng felt a little more at ease.

At least the sarcophagi were still there.

After working hard for half a day, no one had snatched the spoils of war.

“Nasto!”

Lu Yanlong saw a few Federation players in the cave and waved at Nasto.

Nasto was the person in charge of escorting the Federation’s sarcophagus. He was also a player who had advanced to master-level spatial science.

Professional.

When Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong entered, he was sitting on a protruding rock and talking with a few other players. When he saw the two of them coming, he stood up and greeted them.

“You’re here. Come and sit.”

Nasto was from the Federation. However, after experiencing the events of the past two days, he was also quite dissatisfied with the Federation’s higher-ups.

At this moment, he was even more displeased.

Lu Yanlong had been working well with Nasto for the past two days. They were also very familiar with each other. After sitting down, he saw that the atmosphere was solemn. He could not help but tease, “Didn’t the higher-ups not allow us to stay here for too long? What is going on today? Did the sun rise from the west?”

Nasto sighed heavily, feeling mentally tired.

Joining the Federation would allow one to obtain a lot of resources.

In contrast, the price was that he had to get involved in these troublesome matters.

“Don’t mention it. We’re in trouble. It’s not a good thing to summon you here urgently. I won’t hide it from you. It’s all about the power struggle of the upper echelons.”

As he spoke, Nasto told him what had happened.

“You know, I belong to the engineering department. Back then, I chose this department because it looked free and there was no danger…”

After listening to Nasto complain for a long time, Fang Heng finally understood.

The sarcophagus was in quite a bit of trouble.

Yesterday, the federal commission department entrusted one of the 12 corporations, Michaux Company, to conduct a second inspection of the sarcophagus.

There was a problem with the test results.

As for what was wrong, Nasto didn’t understand.

In short, Michaux Company believed that Nasto’s engineering department did not follow the specific steps when transporting the sarcophagus, causing the abnormality of the corpse inside the sarcophagus.

Michaux Company had issued a report that it would have an impact on the subsequent mission.

The boss of Nasto’s engineering department was furious when he heard this.

This task had nothing to do with him in the first place. He had come over to help, but he did not thank him at all. Now, he was even accused of creating a problem during the process of transporting the sarcophagus.

Who could endure this?

If something happened to the sarcophagus and it affected the follow-up mission, he would definitely not be able to get rid of the blame.

“I asked you to come here to think of a way together. Later, we must think of a way to quickly hand over the work smoothly. The higher-ups of the mission department are present. I heard they might open the sarcophagus on the spot for inspection.”

Nasto looked at everyone and said, “We’re the only ones here. Tell me the truth. Did you touch the sarcophagus during the process?”

Everyone shook their heads.

One of the players smiled bitterly and said, “Sir, you were there the entire time. We didn’t touch the sarcophagus at all other than moving it. You saw it with your own eyes.”

Nasto nodded and spoke, “Yes, I know. In my opinion, most of the researchers at Michaux have found something wrong and are now pushing the blame on us.”

The other players had seen the ugly faces of the twelve corporations before, and they felt that they were the ones behind this again.

Fang Heng understood after listening.

However, his thoughts were different from the other players.

Was it possible…

The problem was with him, right?

The corpse in the sarcophagus had undergone mechanical modification, and it would react to the virus aura in his body.

Could this be the anomaly that Michaux Company detected?

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

Regardless of whether it was caused by him or not, how should he deal with this matter?

The players present were all discussing, “We didn’t find anything unusual when we moved it.”

“What abnormalities can there be? It’s their people who can’t move it, so they asked us to help move it. Now that there’s a problem, they’re looking for us. They’re really shameless.”

“Let them investigate. We didn’t do anything. What are you afraid of?”

“Brother, don’t be so naive. They’re professionals. We won’t be able to tell if they did anything…”
