In addition, the game also rewarded them: A shelter.

At least for tonight, if they stay in the shelter, they didn’t have to worry about zombie attacks and could sleep peacefully.

The players were especially excited.

Not only did they earn a lot from the zombie wave mission, but they also earned a free shelter. They didn’t have to work so hard to find a shelter as the players in the other regions, nor do they need to search for food and materials…

Just thinking about it made Zhou Yi feel good.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you guys? Didn’t we win? Why do you all look distraught?”

“We won for the time being. The real crisis has just begun.”

Yu Jie shook his head and explained, “Zhou Yi, our Eastern region player count is very low.”

Zhou Yi opened the game query function to check the faction details.

The joy on his face instantly dissipated by more than half.

The number of players in the other three factions was more than 10 times their number!

“There’s something even more troublesome. The other three factions must also know that our faction obtained the first place and obtained the food and materials reward.”

“In their eyes, we have fewer people, our overall strength is weaker and we also have a lot of materials.”

Lu Yu said in a deep voice, “Without a doubt, we will become the most perfect prey in their eyes.”

“Ah, this…”

Zhou Yi’s expression also became heavy.

They had won, and it was a huge victory. Why did it sound more and more dangerous?

“There’s no need to be so nervous. We’ll just have to defend ourselves.”

Fang Heng laughed, easing the tense atmosphere.

He was not flustered at all. He was very relaxed.

From the beginning to the end, he did not take the players from the other three factions too seriously.

Fang Heng had been competing with the King of Gods’ game, thinking about how he could maximize the benefits of this special event and take one more wave of benefits.

“Besides, maybe the Tier 3 mission will be exciting?”

Fang Heng was looking forward to Tier 3 of the mission.

In every game, the first two tiers of the mission were about the same, but starting from Tier 3, the mission would be very different.

“Clean up the battlefield. We’ll go back to the system shelter first and then make the next step.”

Fang Heng and Yu Jie had a simple discussion. They immediately led the team to clean up the battlefield and move to the system shelter.

…

Crimson Technology headquarters.

Shen Xiaoxiao, the secretary with a slim figure, walked into the meeting room.

“Manager he, we just received news from Qin Ming that the Eastern faction has successfully survived the second zombie wave and has even received the first place reward.”

“That’s impossible!”

He Liang stood up from his office chair.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost and stared at Shen Xiaoxiao.

Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked by He Liang’s expression and couldn’t help but take half a step back.

He Liang said in a deep voice, “Continue!”

“Qin Ming explained that Fang Heng obtained a large number of Molotov cocktails through some unknown method in the game. The Eastern faction players used the Molotov cocktails to protect the square and even increased the efficiency of killing zombies. In the end, they got first place in the Tier 2 mission.”

“Molotov cocktail? There must be at least hundreds of Molotov cocktails to resist the zombie wave. How did he get so many Molotov cocktails from the game?”

“I don’t know. Qin Ming didn’t explain that.”

He Liang opened his mouth. He realized that he had lost his composure and sat back in his office chair.

“Is it a zombie team? Can Fang Heng control Lickers during the special event?”

Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, “According to Qin Ming’s feedback, Fang Heng didn’t control Lickers or any zombies during the special event.”

“Bang!”

He Liang punched the table with all his strength and said hatefully, “That trash!”

Shen Xiaoxiao lowered her head and didn’t say a word.

“What else did he say?”

“In the previous battle, the Eastern region players have used up most of the Molotov cocktails. Although they received the reward shelter provided by the system, the overall situation of the players is not optimistic.”

“Qin Ming suggested that we contact the other three faction players offline to launch a surprise attack on the Eastern faction’s shelter.”

He Liang rubbed his aching temples and tried his best to restrain his anger and remain calm.

The Molotov cocktail was indeed very effective against large numbers of zombies, but it was not so effective against players.

Moreover, after the end of the Tier 2 mission, all faction information was made public.

The players of the three factions would realise that Fang Heng’s Eastern faction had the least number of players and the weakest strength!

Their crisis had just begun!

He Liang also received accurate information from Qin Ming that Fang Heng didn’t show his ability to control the zombie team during the special event.

Fang Heng might not be able to do that!

In theory, everything was going according to plan.

Even if Fang Heng was lucky enough to get through Tier 2, he would not be able to get through Tier 3 safely!

But for some reason, He Liang felt more and more uneasy.

He was confused.

Where did Fang Heng get so many incendiary bombs?

If this problem could not be solved, He Liang could not sleep or eat in peace.

He Liang asked in a deep voice, “Does Qin Ming know what Fang Heng and the others are going to do next?”

“There’s no news yet. They have just arrived at the shelter which was their Tier 2 reward.”

“Help me pass a message to Qin Ming. Tell him not to make any move and to keep an eye on him. If anything happens, report back.”

“Okay.”

…

Hint: You have found and occupied a special shelter. You can bind the camp’s shelter here.

Hint: You can spend 10,000 faction points to unbind the shelter once (if you unbind it multiple times, the cost will be doubled). You need to re-bind the new shelter within 1 hour after unbinding. If the player dies or is eliminated in the process, all Eastern faction players will be eliminated. If the binding is not completed after 1 hour, all Eastern faction players will be eliminated.

The system reward’s shelter was a large abandoned warehouse near the sea.

Fang Heng had just arrived at the warehouse when a row of game hints appeared in his vision.

Hint: All factions have completed Tier 2 zombie wave. Player has triggered Tier 3 mission-faction shelter.

Mission name: Faction shelter.

Mission 1: Player is requested to find a suitable location (the location of the shelter confirmed by the system) within 3.5 hours to bind the faction shelter.

Mission 2: Player is requested to guard the faction shelter for 24 hours. If the faction shelter is destroyed during the process, all players from the faction will be eliminated.

Mission 3 (optional): Attack the other faction’s shelter. You will receive all faction points and additional points as rewards.

Penalty for failure: If Mission 1 or Mission 2 fails, all players from the faction will be eliminated.

The hint for Tier 3 mission surprised Fang Heng.

It was a faction-based killing mission!

In previous games, missions like this were the most tragic.

Yu Jie did not dare to be careless. After receiving the hint for the mission, he immediately discussed the next battle strategy with Fang Heng and the others.
