nBored out of his mind, Fang Heng turned on the survival radio. He was ready to watch the other players’ encounters and find some fun.

n

nLiao Bufan: “No way? It’s only been a few days? You’re already starting to stay out all night? It’s not too much for me to call you Big Brother, right?”

n

nLiao Bufan: “Big Brother, we’re almost out of food. Remember to make more tomorrow, okay?”

n

nLu Yu said: “Brother, I was rude to you earlier on. Please believe us. We came here with sincerity. Even if you don’t want to join our company, you can still work with us, right?”

n

n“Why is it this kid again?”

n

nFang Heng rubbed his chin and replied intending to tease him.

n

n“That’s a good suggestion. But, what do you have that I can work with? I want to see your sincerity. Can you get the complete evolution crystal?”

n

nThe fastest way for Fang Heng to improve his strength was to level up.

n

nWith each level up, he could get more zombie clones.

n

nBut at this stage, ordinary players could hardly get the evolution crystal fragments, let alone the complete evolution crystal.

n

nFang Heng believed that levelling up was still a long way to go.

n

nLu Yu received a message from Fang Heng and he immediately replied excitedly.

n

n“Big Brother, jokes aside. We’re serious. How about this? If we work hard, we can probably get ten pieces of evolution crystal fragments as a sign of sincerity.”

n

nFang Heng curled his lips and closed the private chat.

n

nHe thought, “Only ten pieces of evolution crystal fragments? Who are you looking down on? I could just get them for free!”

n

nFang Heng glanced at his backpack.

n

nDamn it. After clearing the zombies in the prison, he now had more than 300 pieces of evolution crystal fragments.

n

nHe didn’t know what to do with so many fragments.

n

n…

n

nIn the shelter not far from the apocalypse merchant camp.

n

nLooking at the survival radio that went quiet, Lu Yu fell into silence again.

n

n“What’s wrong?”

n

n“Ah, the God is not replying again.”

n

nLu Yu sighed sadly and showed the radio chat message to Zhou Yi.

n

n“We can’t keep up with the God’s footsteps. He has already started to mention the complete evolution crystal.”

n

nZhou Yi shook his head dejectedly.

n

n“Anyway, we will try and get familiarized with the God by exchanging conversations with him. In the meantime, let’s focus on the Prison No. 507 mission first.”

n

nWhen he heard Prison No. 507, Lu Yu became serious.

n

nThere was a prison more than 20 kilometres away from their shelter.

n

nPrison No. 507!

n

nThe mission Zhou Yi was referring to was something he had spent a lot of effort to purchase from a game intelligence organization.

n

nThe intelligence organization claimed that the hidden mission had been accidentally triggered by a player on Server 3.

n

nAt that time, the player’s medium-sized gaming company had utilised all the manpower within the company and even hired several groups of mercenaries to participate.

n

nUnfortunately, the mission failed.

n

nDue to investing too much time and energy in the mission, the medium-sized gaming company eventually closed down due to the breakdown of its capital chain.

n

nAfter a series of follow-up reviews by the intelligence organization, they determined that this mission was a rare hidden continuous mission.

n

nThe difficulty level was higher than SSS-level and the reward was also higher than that of SSS-level.

n

nThe intelligence organization provided the first three steps of the continuous mission.

n

nJust by looking at the reward of these three steps, Zhou Yi did not even frown and immediately took out money to buy it.

n

n“This mission is a continuous one, one step at a time. We don’t need to complete it directly. We just need to get the items from the first phase of the mission and hold on to the mission tightly in our hands.”

n

n“Em, I went to the prison again this morning. It’s strange. The number of zombies there has suddenly decreased by two-thirds.”

n

n“There’s such a good thing?” Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise. “This is a great opportunity for us. Now, we have a greater chance to sneak into Building No. 3.”

n

n“Really…?”

n

nLu Yu smiled bitterly.

n

n“Of course it’s true! Why do you think we’ve been staying at the apocalypse merchant’s place for the past few days?”

n

n“I think we’ll be able to exchange our survival points for an earth-made explosive tomorrow. As long as we make a hole in the outer layer of the prison, the number of zombies will decrease a lot in a few days…”

n

n“Don’t be too happy yet. Even so, Building No. 3 is very dangerous.”

n

n“Fortunately, we only need to find the police officer’s diary. It’s hiding in the cabinet on the second floor.”

n

n“It’s hidden very far away. Ordinary players can’t even enter the prison, let alone find it.”

n

n“This is the only way to trigger the mission! The seller said that we must get it! Otherwise, the mission won’t be triggered!”

n

n…

n

nInside the prison, Fang Heng was sitting in front of the bonfire.

n

nHint: Your zombies have completed a round of collection. You have received plastic*2, waste paper*176, broken parts*1.

n

nHint: Your zombies have started a new round of collection.

n

nHint: Your zombies have completed a round of collection. You have received waste paper*201, soap*2.

n

nHint: Your zombie has started a new…

n

nThe zombies that were sent out to search the place kept going back and forth, throwing the sundries that they had collected in their backpacks in front of Fang Heng.

n

nThe exploration of the building was slower than Fang Heng had imagined. After a few hours, he was so bored that he started reading “2021 Prison Cleaning Record Report”.

n

n“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the cleaning lady was lazy on the 19th… she didn’t even clean the toilet and the excuse was that the detergent was gone.”

n

nWhile Fang Heng was mumbling, another zombie returned and started to take things out of its backpack.

n

nHint: Your zombie has completed a round of collection. You have obtained rags*3, contaminated documents*30, damaged police officer’s diary*1…

n

nEh?

n

n“Police officer’s diary!”

n

nFang Heng’s eyes lit up.

n

n“Diary is good! This is even better than the annual cleaning report!” he thought.

n

nFang Heng opened the bloody and torn notebook.

n

nBecause most of the notebook had been destroyed, Fang Heng could only see part of the contents.

n

n

nToday was my first day on the job. Everyone looked very friendly. Team leader Turley told me not to be kind to the prisoners.

n

nThis would make them feel that you were weak and easy to bully.

n

n6.5

n

nThe password of the safe in the gun room was left 6 right 2 left 11.

n

nFor the record, after three failures, the safe would automatically be locked. It would be very troublesome to open it again.

n

nThe team leader was very nice to me. After work, we played cards together. I lost a lot of money, but the team leader also bought me a drink.

n

n6.8

n

nOh my god, was that “Giant Erita”? He’s so tall and strong! He’s about 2.34 meters tall, right?

n

nThe team leader was right. He was the most dangerous prisoner in the prison. He could bend an ordinary iron bar with his bare hands.

n

nI have to keep an eye on him!

n

n7.7

n

nI noticed that there were a few unfamiliar faces in the prison.

n

nThe team leader told me that they were doctors from Dawn Hospital. Recently, there seemed to be some kind of infectious disease in the prison.

n

nIt was a terrible infectious disease. I had to be careful to avoid being infected.

n

n7.19

n

nRecently, many patients were being carried out one after another. I secretly took a few glances at them. The way they died was terrifying.

n

nThe team leader told me that they had all died from an infectious disease. He also warned me not to come into contact with the prisoners.

n

nThis infectious disease was very strange. The ones who died were mostly strong men while the skinny prisoners were fine.

n

nCould it be that their immune systems were different and they were more vulnerable?

n

n8.1

n

nIt was too scary. There was a sudden large-scale riot in the prison. We locked up Buildings No. 1 and 2, and let Building No. 3 become the last refuge.

n

nI’ve never experienced such a thing!

n

nI heard the team leader calling for help, saying that an infectious disease had broken out.

n

nOutbreak?

n

nWas this a riot?

n

nThe warden wanted to meet us in the basement. I got to go.. I hope it goes well.
