Chapter 416 - Ascension
In the suburban wasteland area.
Two large trucks drove into the town occupied by the Scavenger Army.
The commander of the military district, Lei Ming, led the members of the Scavenger Army to welcome them in the town’s central square.
The eyes of the members of the army were filled with incomparable eagerness.
“Osborne, you are three days behind the scheduled time.”
Osborne jumped down from the passenger seat.
“I’ve tried my best. The front line is in a dire situation. You know our current situation. The other areas are the same. I know you’re in a critical situation. I’ll send these two batches of potions to you immediately.”
“Cheh!”
Lei Ming waved his hand to signal his subordinates to move the goods. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you were two days late, you could have come directly to collect our corpses.”
As usual, Osborne had a stern face and said word by word, “Lei Ming, I believe that your strength is not limited to this. Also, I have good news for you. This time, I brought you an additional half-truck of potions.”
“Hmph.”
Lei Ming snorted lightly.
After getting an additional half-truck of warlord potions, the displeasure in his heart eased a little.
“By the way, what happened to that Fang Heng recently? How did he rise to the rank of regional chief commander so quickly?”
“It was specially approved by Commander Cook Barn. Fang Heng produced a large number of warlord potions in a short period to alleviate the crisis on the front line. In addition, these potions in your hands were all made with Fang Heng’s help.”
“A potion maker?”
Lei Ming pursed his lips and a feeling of dissatisfaction rose from his heart.
They fought to the death on the front line but in the end, they were worse off than a potion maker!
How unpleasant!
“Brother Lei!”
While they were talking, a team member who was carrying the goods jumped down from the truck and handed a bottle of warlord potion to Lei Ming.
“Brother Lei, the potion doesn’t seem right.”
Lei Ming took the potion and looked at it in his hand, his face darkening.
“Osborne! What does this mean?”
“It’s a modified version of the warlord potion. Fang Heng, whom you mentioned just now, was the one who made it.”
Osborne explained expressionlessly, “Tell your men to hurry up and unload the goods. I still have a few more to run. There was a problem with the transport truck yesterday. I’m in a hurry.”
“D*mn it! Are you kidding me?”
Lei Ming stared at Osborne fiercely.
“Are you trying to trick me with defective goods? Is that why you gave me more than half a box of potions?”
“I don’t have the time.” Osborne frowned. “Do you want it? If you don’t unload the goods, we’ll leave now.”
“Wait! I’ll try the effect first.”
Lei Ming stopped Osborne. Just as he was about to test the effect of the potion himself, gunshots sounded outside the town.
A member of the Scavenger Army shouted, “Brother Lei! Someone is attacking the base!”
Osborne and Lei Ming were stunned at the same time.
“F*ck! You’re courting death!” Lei Ming’s eyes turned red as he shouted, “Bring the potion with you! Fight alongside me!”
The base was suddenly attacked. Lei Ming didn’t care whether the potion provided by Osborne was defective or not. He picked up a bottle of potion, opened the cap and gulped it down.
As the potion flowed down his throat, a warm current instantly flowed into his limbs and bones!
Lei Ming’s pupils constricted!
The feeling was completely different from when he drank the warlord potion in the past!
In the past, the potion would give rise to a fighting desire that would gradually increase. In contrast, the new potion made one extremely violent!
He felt a violent force entering his body intensely.
“This… !”
Lei Ming turned around to look at Osborne, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
Osborne was expressionless as he looked back calmly.
“How is it?”
“Hahaha! Good! Good!!”
Lei Ming said as he gulped down several bottles of warlord potions in one go!
The veins on his neck bulged and his skin revealed a scarlet blood colour.
With a machete in one hand, Lei Ming laughed wildly, “Brothers! Take the potions and kill these intruders with me!”
“Roar!”
The members of the Scavenger Army gulped down the warlord potions which had been modified by Fang Heng.
In an instant, the entire Scavenger Army fell into an extremely frantic bloodthirsty state.
It was as if they were delirious and wild. They roared and joined the battlefield outside.
Soon, the Federation players who were attacking the Scavenger Army base noticed something strange about the enemy.
In the early hours of last night, all the Federation shelters in District 7 received the mobilization order from the command centre of District 7.
Federation Shelter No. 9 was all mobilized. They wanted to wipe out the Scavenger Army’s base in the suburban wasteland area in one fell swoop. They wanted to fight a beautiful victory and show their faces in front of their leaders.
But they did not expect that the Scavenger Army today was completely different from the sickly look they had in the past!
The soldiers of the Scavenger Army were all extremely excited. Their physical defense ability had directly improved by a level compared to two days ago!
Ordinary bullets could hardly stop their footsteps.
In less than ten minutes, the frontline positions set up by the Federation had been broken through by the Scavenger Army.
What was going on? How did their combat strength suddenly improve so quickly?
Seeing that the situation was not good, the federal commander immediately gave the order to retreat.
“The situation is not right! Retreat first!”
“Hahaha! Trying to escape!! Did you obtain my consent?”
Lei Ming was extremely excited, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty killing intent.
“Ah!? Speak up! Did I agree to your escape?!”
“All of you, chase them! Kill them all!!!”
In the city, Osborne looked at the battlefield in front of him from afar.
Hearing the roars coming from his ears, Osborne could not help but feel a little aghast.
What did that Fang Heng do to the warlord potion?
Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the warlord potion had increased its effect by 40-60% from its original base!
….
The same situation was happening everywhere in the vicinity of Edge Creek Town.
The players from the Dragon Country Guild base were under great pressure from Roche’s attack.
The automatic cannons set up in the shelter kept shooting out tongues of fire.
Even so, they still managed to withstand the attack of the Scavenger Army with great difficulty.
Compared to yesterday, the Scavenger Army’s combat strength had increased significantly!
What was going on with this game?
How could the difficulty level increase again and again in just two days?
Was this all Fang Heng’s doing?!
Niu Xia was extremely shocked. He had even seen a high-level Scavenger Army elite fall to the ground after being hit by the range of the rocket launcher. A large part of the right side of his body, including his arm, had been blown off.
On the side, someone gave the Scavenger Army elite a mouthful of potion. The latter stood up and continued to join the battle.
Crazy!
They were no longer humans.
To a certain extent, they had become zombies…
The madness of the Scavenger Army made the players feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Behind the defensive fortifications, Tian Zhen led the player team to face the enemy.
On the surface, Tian Zhen looked extremely calm and gave orders in an organized manner. In reality, he was extremely nervous and uptight. His spirit had long been stretched to the limit!
For the time being, the shelter could still withstand the attack of the Scavenger Army by relying on the defensive facilities.
But…
There was still one major unsettling factor…
That was Fang Heng!
Until now, Fang Heng and his zombie team had not appeared yet!
Once the zombie team that they encountered last night joined the battle, their shelter would be lost!
