Chapter 403 - Ambush
“Item: high-tier divine potion. ”
Description: A special potion made by the Scavenger Army. It is extremely difficult to make and is extremely rare. Only high-tier commanders in the Scavenger Army can exchange for it.
Warning (triggered by low-level game difficulty) : this potion has been determined to be a high-risk potion. After taking it, there is a high probability the player will receive damage. Before using it, the player needs to have taken the middle-tier divine potion and meet a certain physique requirement. Forcefully consuming it may cause irreversible and unknown consequences.
“So… The worm inside the high-tier potion is stronger than the worm inside the low-tier potion? Or is there a special ingredient in this high-tier potion that can allow the worm inside the body to evolve to a higher level? ” Fang Heng pondered and conveniently bought three bottles each of high-tier, middle-tier, and low-tier potions, preparing to bring them back to Qiu Yaokang’s laboratory for research.
High-tier potions were extremely expensive. One bottle alone cost 700,000 contribution points.
Fortunately, he had earned more than three million contribution points through potion making, which was enough to exchange for them.
After purchasing them, Fang Heng continued to browse through the remaining materials.
Besides high-tier potions, there were also many high-tier construction materials in the exchange column.
“Eh? A cart? ” Fang Heng’s gaze focused on the body of the cart on the exchange column.
…
As the lead organizer of the collective operation, Leftway Gaming Guild had invested a large amount of manpower and resources in the operation.
Most of the guild leaders of the various guilds had elected Tian town as the temporary commander.
The guild leader of the Dragon Country Guild was extremely familiar with the region of Edge Creek Town. The guild leader, Niu Xia, had fought with the Scavenger Army of Edge Creek Town a few times and was very experienced. He had been elected as one of the deputy commanders of the operation.
Niu Xia just received the news that Fang Heng transferred to District 7 not long ago. He immediately thought of the incident where he had been attacked by the Scavenger Army and could neither sleep nor eat well. Even in his dreams, he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Fang Heng.
Now, the opportunity had come!
He had to get rid of Fang Heng once and for all!
Half an hour ago, after the players from the various large-sized gaming unions had gathered, they set off for Edge Creek Town.
Halfway there, Tao Yunlei, a captain of Leftway Gaming Guild, who was in charge of scouting ahead, hurriedly walked up and reported, “Boss Tian! The front scouting team has encountered the Scavenger Army! With roughly five to six hundred people, they are about two kilometers away from us and are heading toward our position. ”
Tian Zhen was shocked when he heard that.
“Five to six hundred people? ! The entire Scavenger Army is being mobilized? ”
Niu Xia nodded and said, “Excluding the non-combatants, the actual number of combatants in the Scavenger Army of Edge Creek Town is less than six hundred. It should be all of them. ”
Tian Zhen and the other guild leaders exchanged glances. They could see the excitement in each other’s eyes.
What a good opportunity!
If they attacked Edge Creek Town directly, the Scavenger Army would have the geographical advantage, which would affect their offensive strength. Now, the other side actually took the initiative to leave Edge Creek Town.
Even the heavens were on their side! It would be a perfect ambush!
Tian Zhen could feel the eagerness in the eyes of the commanders of the other guilds.
Taking a deep breath, Niu Xia took the opportunity to suggest, “Edge Creek Town’s Scavenger Army isn’t very strong. Our strength is enough to crush them. Since we’re meeting them outside their home ground this time, we won’t lose. If we launch an attack now, we can minimize the casualties. ”
Tian Zhen nodded and looked at the players. “Where’s Fang Heng? Is he inside? ”
Tao Yunlei replied, “For the time being, our members haven’t seen Fang Heng, so we can’t confirm that. ”
“Okay. Let’s stop where we are and prepare to ambush! Set up a defensive line and completely destroy the Scavenger Army! ”
After making the battle decision, the guild leaders immediately led their subordinate players to prepare for battle in batches and set up a defensive line.
For some reason, Tian Zhen felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that he had seen too much news about Fang Heng recently?
“Niu Xia, based on your understanding of the Scavenger Army, what are our chances of winning? ”
Niu Xia was extremely confident about the upcoming battle. “Even if we forcefully attack Edge Creek Town, we still have a 100% chance of winning. If we’re fighting outside of Edge Creek Town, it’s even more impossible for us to lose! ”
“All right! ”
Just a moment later, the roaring sound of motorcycles came from the front.
“Scavenger Army! ” Tian Zhen’s gaze was fixed on the Scavenger Army that was gradually approaching.
When the other party stepped into the shooting range, Tian Zhen suddenly waved his hand forward. “Begin! Shoot! ! ! ”
Bang, bang, bang! ! ! !
A series of gunshots sounded.
The Scavenger Army, suddenly attacked, immediately fell into chaos.
“F*ck! You still dare to personally offer your lives up to us? ! ” Having encountered a sudden attack halfway, Roche was so angry that he laughed. He raised a huge alloy explosion-proof shield in front of him and poured a bottle of potion into his mouth. “Charge! Crush them! ”
The Scavenger Army NPCs were a little confused at first. However, they soon took out bulletproof shields, hid behind them, and drank bottles of warlord potions.
In an instant, the army soldiers felt as if they had endless strength!
After Roche swallowed a bottle of potion, his body grew by a few times. He held the modified explosion-proof shield in one hand in front of him and rushed toward the enemy’s front line players.
Most of the bullets were blocked by the explosion-proof shield. Occasionally, the bullets passed by Roche’s body, but most of them only grazed his skin slightly.
“How can he be so strong? ”
Tian Zhen stared at the battlefield, his eyes full of fear.
Unlike those in his shelter area, the strength of the Scavenger Army soldiers from Edge Creek Town was shocking and on a completely different level!
The damage caused by ordinary bullets to them was greatly reduced!
Tao Yunlei observed the situation on the field and frowned. Raising his Barrett, he activated his skill “Enhanced Shot. ”
Bang!
He pulled the trigger.
The bullet grazed the arm of a member of the Scavenger Army, and his entire right arm was blown up.
Blood and flesh splattered!
An ordinary person would have fainted from the pain! However, the soldier did not seem to feel any pain. Eyes flashing with madness, he used his left hand to drink a bottle of potion and rushed over with a shield in one hand.
“What’s going on? ” Tao Yunlei was shocked.
Having fought with the Scavenger Army for so long, it was the first time he encountered such a situation.
“A normal low-level member of the Scavenger Army has become so strong? This huge improvement’s terrifying! ” he thought.
Meanwhile, seeing Roche rushing over with the Scavenger Army, Tian Zhen forced himself to remain calm.
“Ambush team, forward! ! ”
As soon as he said that, the players lying in ambush in the woods on both sides of the path revealed themselves and shot at the Scavenger Army soldiers.
The flank was suddenly attacked, and more than ten Scavenger Army members instantly fell, falling into chaos again.
However, in less than half a minute, the situation was reversed.
“Hahaha! Is that all you got? ! ”
Despite having been ambushed, Roche did not have any fear. His eyes flashed with bloodthirsty madness.
