nWhen Wei Guangling heard this, he felt even more doubtful.

nStay in Pine City? What did Fang Heng want to do there?

nThe situation in Pine City was so bad. If he stayed there, wouldn’t he be asking for trouble?

nWei Guangling turned his head again and looked at Chen Yu.

n“Chen Yu, based on your understanding of Fang Heng, what do you think his purpose of staying in Pine City is?”

n“Well…”

nChen Yu subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to scratch his head, but he felt that it was a little unsightly in front of the leaders, so he forcefully put it down.

nHe decided to tell the truth.

n“Leader, I think he might want to farm monsters…”

nFarm monsters?

nWei Guangling and Zhang Yuekun looked at each other at the same time.

nWhat on earth was farming monsters?

nThis word was often heard in the internet games in the past.

nIt was rather retro.

n“Yeah, it’s just leveling up in there. There are a lot of Tier 2 mutated creatures in Pine City, which are very valuable to kill. | think Fang Heng’s character level is close to Level 10.”

n“He probably wants to take this opportunity to kill more high-level zombies, so as to break through Level 10.”

nChen Yu had a deep impression of Fang Heng.

nFrom the zombie pit in Hope Town.

nAnd then there was the ‘tower defense’ that was built in the shelter.

ntt was too flashy.

nThe few incidents that he had participated in with Fang Heng had changed Chen Yu’s understanding of this game.

nHe felt that Fang Heng was just itching to play, and was planning to stay in Pine City to do some stuff.

nLevel up while he was at it.

nThinking about it carefully, Fang Heng’s choice to stay in Pine City was not much different from the last time he chose to stay in Hope Town.

nit was just that the enemy was a little stronger…

nAt first, he would farm ordinary zombies and Tier 1 mutated zombies, then he would go back to the shelter to farm Lickers. What was wrong with farming Tier 2 mutated creatures now?

nThis was very consistent with Fang Heng’s style of doing things.

nChen Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

nWei Guangling and Zhang Yuekun were deep in thought.

nHint: You have completed the mission-desperate survivor.

nHint: Please go to any branch of the Dark Knights to receive the reward.

nClimbing out of the sewer, Fang Heng received the latest game hint.

ntt seemed that Lucia had safely evacuated from Pine City.

n“That boor…”

nFang Heng was slightly relieved when Lucia’s face appeared in his mind.

nThe main storyline mission was finally saved!

next, he could relax and play the official game.

nWhile passing through the city’s sewer, a rough outline of a plan had been built in Fang Heng’s mind.

nThere were three steps.

nThe first step was to strengthen the hospital and ensure Victor’s safety.

nThe second step was to get Victor to help create another badge to block the pursuit of the nemesis. This way, he could farm the mutated spiders inside the Meteorite Company.

nThe third step was to find a way to completely eliminate the nemesis!

n“Fang Heng, you’re back.”

nOutside the hospital building, Victor was wearing the exoskeleton armour to stand guard.

n“I saw a lot of helicopters leaving Pine City earlier. Have the Dark Knights evacuated?”

nVictor sighed in his heart.

nHe felt that he owed Fang Heng too much this time.

n“I’m sorry, Fang Heng. I’ve implicated you this time and caused you to stay in this dangerous place. I was suspicious of you before…”

n“Since you’re ready to join my shelter, of course I have to protect your safety.”

n“But Victor, don’t be so depressed. Be happy. After this, it’s our turn to counterattack.”

n(Hint: You’ve chosen to stay in Pine City. Your friendship with Victor has greatly increased.

nFang Heng glanced at the game log and narrowed his eyes.

nActually, he was still a little unhappy.

nFrom the moment he entered Pine City, he had been assigned various main storyline missions.

nHe had been chased all the way.

nUntil now, he had finally figured out the background of Pine City.

n“Next, I’ll see if I can clear this place!”

nFang Heng thought to himself.

n“Counterattack?”

nWhen Victor heard this, he looked at Fang Heng in surprise.

nWhat did he mean by counterattack?

nVictor felt that Fang Heng was becoming more and more unpredictable.

n“Ha.

nFang Heng suddenly felt very sleepy after his ambitious speech.

nHe yawned.

nHe had been highly focused for a period of time and had not slept much last night. Fang Heng was very tired now.

n“Let’s talk about the details later. I’m going back to catch up on my sleep.”

nFang Heng was about to walk upstairs when he suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead.

n“Oh right, Victor, there’s something else I need your help with. It’s quite urgent…”

n“Yeah, just said it. As long as it’s within my means, | can do it.”

nFang Heng looked Victor up and down from head to toe.

n“Victor, has anyone ever told you that your appearance is very good? Have you ever considered entering the entertainment industry?”

nVictor: ???

nHint: Your skills-dodge and block have been upgraded to the current maximum level, Level 13. Please upgrade your player’s level.

nMore than five hours later.

nFang Heng’s dodging and blocking skills had reached the maximum level.

nTyrant’s fusion form was still locked in a stalemate with the nemesis.

nHelpless, Fang Heng gave the order to Tyrant to head to the nearby hospital.

nVictor had set up a special magnetic field around the hospital so that the nemesis would not get close.

nBy then, Tyrant’s fusion form would most likely be able to shake off the nemesis.

nThe next step was to go offline and hack in, waiting for Tyrant’s proliferator to appear!

nAfter arranging Tyrant’s and the zombie team’s hack routes, Fang Heng found a safe place in the hospital and went offline.

nAfter opening the game cabin, the phone in the room was still ringing.

nFang Heng picked up the phone.

nChen Yu was still in the temporary command center of the Federation.

nHe was holding a photo of Xiao Jing’s notebook in the game.

nHe was speechless.

nWhat the hell was written on the notebook?!

nThis year’s intern was way too weak!

nHearing Fang Heng pick up the phone, Chen Yu immediately picked it up.

n“Fang Heng, you are staying in Pine City to farm monsters, right?”

nFang Heng was shocked.

nOh my god! Chen Yu guessed it?

n“I guessed it right! Pine City has a lot of enhanced Tier 1 and Tier 2 zombies. You should be about to reach the threshold of Level 10, right? You lack a complete evolution crystal, right?”

nChen Yu was secretly pleased with his occasional flash of inspiration.

nHe felt that he was the person in the Federation who understood Fang Heng the most.

nFang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.

n“Sorry, you guessed wrong!”

nHe was prepared to farm a Tier 3 mutated spider this time.

nChen Yu scratched his head again when he heard Fang Heng’s delay in answering.

n“Uh, I’m sorry, Fang Heng. I didn’t mean to get information from you. The person who came to look for you this time is actually my superiors. He wants to meet with you if you’re free.”

n“Huh? Your superiors?”

nFang Heng’s mind raced.

nIt seemed that the operation in Pine City had attracted the attention of the Federation.

nMeet or not?

nAfter thinking about it, Fang Heng felt that this matter could not be avoided.

nIt would be even more troublesome if he was investigated by the Federation in secret.

nAnyway, he had not done anything bad.

nHe was not afraid!

n“Alright, come to my work studio in two days. We’ll meet again at the specific time.”

nFang Heng readily agreed. Then he asked, “By the way, have your people left Pine City? Has the next mission been triggered?”.

n
