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
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.
