n“I’ll have someone take care of the cultivation pod 24 hours a day. It’s already late. I’m going back to rest. Here’s today’s record report,” Ding Min said.

n

nShe put the record book on the table and left the laboratory.

n

nJust as she reached the door, she met Osborne who was about to enter the laboratory to look for Fang Heng.

n

n“Hi, Dr. Ding Min,” Fang Heng said.

n

n“Hi,” Ding Min said.

n

nDing Min nodded. She suddenly thought of something and turned to Fang Heng. “By the way, Commander Fang Heng, the mask information you promised me should be obtained as soon as possible so that I can devote myself to research and development.”

n

nFang Heng said wordlessly, “Humph, typical woman.”

n

nHe did not know how to complain. He waved his hand at Ding Min and made an okay gesture, watching her leave.

n

n“Commander Fang Heng, the abandoned mine area is temporarily guarded by Regional Commander Roche with his men. Edge Creek Town is not heavily guarded, so there might be trouble. After the previous battle, we suffered heavy casualties, so we need to recruit more men as soon as possible,” Osborne said.

n

nHe rushed into the room and reported the latest progress of the Scavenger Army to Fang Heng.

n

nOsborne said, “In addition, all the building materials you needed before are being sorted and collected. Most of the building materials are available in the army, and a small number of special materials should be collected from the regional branches. It is expected that all of them will be delivered to the abandoned mine area by noon tomorrow.”

n

nFang Heng did not speak.

n

nHe stared at Osborne.

n

nFang Heng felt that something was wrong as soon as Osborn entered the room.

n

nHe looked at Osborne carefully, and there seemed to be an extremely blurry shadow behind Osborne.

n

nHe thought, “What is it?

n

n“Or is it just my illusion?”

n

nFang Heng was puzzled when a hint flashed across his eyes.

n

n“Hint: Your basic perception attribute has reached over 30. You have noticed something strange.”

n

n“Hey, Commander, what’s wrong?” Osborne asked.

n

n“No, nothing,” Fang Heng said.

n

nHe confirmed.

n

nIt was not his illusion.

n

nFang Heng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “I got it. After the materials are delivered, you should immediately speed up the recruitment process. You can adopt more flexible requirements when selecting people.”

n

n“Okay,” Osborne said.

n

n“Hint: You have issued the order to recruit members for Scavenger Army. The current morale points of Scavenger Army have reached their maximum. Recruiting members will cause a small drop in morale points.”

n

n“Hint: Please note that recruiting too many members will result in a shortage of strategic reserve materials.”

n

n“There is one more thing, Commander. The patrol team at the periphery of the headquarters met a suspicious person in the mountain when they were patrolling. The person claimed to be looking for you, saying that she was recommended by Old Black,” Osborne said.

n

n“Old Black?” Fang Heng said.

n

nHe raised his eyebrows. “You have brought her into the headquarters?”

n

n“Yes. According to the patrol officers, she has some special abilities. We’ve temporarily placed her in the temporary dungeon in the headquarters.” Osborne nodded and explained. Then he asked, “Should I bring her here now?”

n

n“No need,” Fang Heng said.

n

nThen he took half a step sideways, quickly raising his hand and smashing it forward severely.

n

nOsborne was greatly shocked.

n

nHe felt a gust of wind blowing past his ear.

n

nFang Heng’s fist brushed past his ear and smashed forward.

n

nBang!

n

nA figure appeared in the air after being hit by Fang Heng’s fist.

n

nWu Siying held a dagger in one hand to block in front of her body.

n

nFang Heng’s fist smashed fiercely against the dagger.

n

nWu Siying felt a large force.

n

nShe struggled to control her body and retreated a few steps before she could deflect all the force from Fang Heng’s fist.

n

nFang Heng’s fist was also cut by the dagger.

n

nDrops of blood dripped down the wound.

n

nThe dagger-cut wound on Fang Heng’s fist healed in an instant because of the Vampire Bloodline and high Physique.

n

nOsborne finally reacted. He immediately raised his shotgun and aimed at the woman.

n

nOsborne was still surprised and bewildered.

n

nHe thought, “When did she follow me? Why did not I notice her?”

n

nFang Heng stopped attacking and asked, “Are you a friend of Old Black?”

n

n“Yes, I’m Wu Siying from Black Castle,” Wu Siying said.

n

nWu Siying straightened her body and tried her best to appear calm.

n

nShe never thought that Fang Heng could see through her stealth.

n

nWu Siying thought that Fang Heng was just an ordinary summoner who relied on the zombie team to fight. She couldn’t imagine that the strength attached to Fang Heng’s punch was so terrifying.

n

nFang Heng did not look like a low-level player at all.

n

n“Black Castle?” Fang Heng thought.

n

nHe looked at Wu Siying and thought to himself.

n

nBlack Castle was a very mysterious organization in the game.

n

nIn his memory, he had seen this name by chance when he collected information.

n

nThe Federation claimed that Black Castle was one of the extremely dangerous anti-federal organizations, and they did not dare to offend this organization.

n

nHowever, in reality, few ordinary players had really come into contact with the Black Castle, and information about Black Castle in the outside world was also very rare. Black Castle spent most of its time in advanced game world and rarely participated in low-level games.

n

nFang Heng thought, “Why did she come here?”

n

nWu Siying put away her dagger and stretched out her left hand to press on her right shoulder.

n

nCreak.

n

nThere was a soft sound.

n

nThe shoulder that had been dislocated by Fang Heng’s punch was restored to its original shape.

n

n“Fang Heng, I invite you to join us on behalf of Black Castle. We will help you obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7. In exchange, we need you to agree to some conditions after that,” Wu Siying said.

n

n“I refuse,” Fang Heng said.

n

n“You can take a look at the contents of the contract first.”

n

nWu Siying flipped her wrist, and a pitch-black contract scroll appeared in her hand.

n

n“No need. I refuse.”

n

nWu Siying’s brows were tightly knitted.

n

nShe did not expect Fang Heng to reject so decisively again.

n

nHow could anyone refuse such a generous condition?

n

nWu Siying thought of something.

n

nThat was right. Fang Heng was only an elementary player. He didn’t understand what a final authority of the game world actually meant.

n

nWu Siying said, “Fang Heng, I’m afraid you don’t know what it means to obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7. Even in an advanced game world, countless people are desperate to obtain the final authority of the game world.”

n

n“No need. Thank you for your kindness,” Fang Heng said.

n

nHe still shook his head and refused.

n

nIn the game, things like contract scrolls were very strange. If one wasn’t careful, he could easily be cheated.

n

nIn addition, Fang Heng did not think that he needed the help of the Black Castle.

n

nHe already had a plan.

n

nOnce the transformation of the mutant worm body Tyrant was completed, he would have Tier 5 mutated zombie work for him.

n

nWhen that time came, the Federation would be in big trouble.

n

nFang Heng was confident that he could obtain the final authority of the game world in District 7 by himself.

n

nIt was just a District 7 Federation.

n

nThere was no need to sign a contract and be controlled by others.

n

n“Fang Heng, we have assessed your strength. You are indeed capable of controlling zombies, but it’s impossible for you to successfully occupy District 7 by yourself.” Wu Siying continued to try to persuade him, “We have received news that the Federation will launch an attack on Scavenger Army soon.”

n

n“There’s no need.” Fang Heng turned to look at Osborne. “Osborne, help me send my guest off.”

n

nAs they were talking, a Scavenger Army elite stepped into the room.

n

n“Report!” the Scavenger Army elite said.

n

n“What’s the matter?” Fang Heng asked.

n

n“Survivors are attacking Edge Creek Town, South City district, and other areas. There are also a small number of unknown scattered team members attacking the various strongholds of Scavenger Army…”
