nFederation headquarters in District 7.

n

nEveryone was silent.

n

nOvernight, the five shelters under Federation in the White Horse River region were attacked by the fusion Tyrant forms and were utterly destroyed.

n

n“This is the report from the headquarters just now.”

n

nThe head of the intelligence department, Xiao Changle, passed down the file. He said in a deep voice, “Based on the images we obtained last night, we can now confirm that District 7 has entered the fourth stage in the game, the mutant worm form diffusion stage.

n

nIt was the high-level mutated zombies who attacked the shelter last night. They were a fusion of zombies and mutant worms.”

n

nWhile the commanders were reading the report, Xiao Changle continued to explain.

n

n“The fusion mutant worm form zombie was modified according to the Nemesis Plan of the previous Meteorite Company. Its strength is close to Tier 5. In addition, the mutated zombie has a skill that is difficult for us to deal with. It can reproduce the mutant worms.”

n

nThe picture on the big screen in the meeting room was switched to a photo of purple worms.

n

n“As you can see, the fusion mutant worm form zombies can spread such tiny worms.

n

nThese worms are very dangerous. They can quickly infect the players in a short time. Due to their small size, they can even easily bypass the defensive settings outside the players’ shelter and directly attack the players guarding inside.

n

nThis kind of attack mode is rather challenging to guard against.”

n

nAs Kou Huai quickly flipped through the report, the veins on his forehead bulged.

n

nIt was the fourth stage of the game!

n

nIn the game’s history, only one server had experienced the fourth stage, which was some game region that had been destroyed!

n

nDuring the fourth stage, the entire server had been destroyed. The zombie apocalypse world had also completely disappeared, and all the players had died.

n

nFor some unknown reason, Federation had blocked all relevant information about that incident.

n

nBecause of this, information about the fusion mutant worm form zombie had always been confidential.

n

nKou Huai realized that the situation was difficult.

n

nIt had been a battle between him and Fang Heng.

n

nWhy was the entire District 7 going to be destroyed?

n

nEspecially this morning, he had received a total of eight calls from different superior departments.

n

nRight now, the entire elementary game command post of the game world was paying attention to District 7 of Zombie Apocalypse.

n

nThis was the first time Kou Huai had received such attention from his superiors.

n

n“Xiao Changle, you have explained in your report that theoretically, Cook Barn will be able to develop fusion mutant worm form zombies only after Scavenger Army developed to a certain scale. How could this happen now? Why have they appeared now, and we’re suddenly on the fourth stage?”

n

nFaced with the questions, Xiao Changle felt bitter.

n

nHe lowered his head and said, “This is not what the intelligence department expected.”

n

nKou Huai took a deep breath and held back his anger. “So, Fang Heng paid so much effort to capture Dark Knights just to obtain mutant worm form Zombies?”

n

nWhat else could Xiao Changle say?

n

nFacing the questions that he could not answer, Xiao Changle decided to keep lowering his head constantly.

n

n“I’m sorry. I can’t answer you without the relevant information.”

n

n“So what the h*ll do you know? I think the intelligence department of Federation can be just abolished!”

n

nKou Huai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

n

nThe intelligence department of Federation was really useless!

n

nEver since he started to battle with Fang Heng, he had clearly had the overall advantage. He had thought he could crush Fang Heng with a single slap, but it turned out he was constantly fooled by Fang Heng!

n

nIn terms of intelligence, Fang Heng was always one step ahead of them.

n

nNow, Fang Heng had already turned the tables.

n

nHe had even begun to think of ways to destroy District 7!

n

n“Let me ask you, what should we do now? Is there any way to deal with those worms?”

n

n“We are researching it currently.” Xiao Changle lowered his head, not daring to look at Kou Huai at all. “I think we can use Dark Knights’ strength to research the mutant worms and try to develop a vaccine that can target the mutant worms.”

n

n“How long will it take?”

n

nXiao Changle’s head was even lower.

n

nHe did not dare to answer Kou Huai’s question.

n

nIt would take at least a month, even under the optimistic estimation.

n

nHe was afraid that he would be instantly beaten to death if he answered this way.

n

n“I’m asking you!”

n

n“I don’t know yet…”

n

n…

n

nIt was about to get dark.

n

nOsborne was in the fortress in the abandoned mine area that had been occupied by Scavenger Army not long ago.

n

nHe stood outside the door of the hall on the second floor underground, leaning against the wall and gently rubbing his temples.

n

nToo many things had happened in the short 48 hours since the new leader took over Scavenger Army.

n

nFang Heng developed the warlord potion, attacked Dark Knights’ branch, and found the secret box of Meteorite Company…

n

nLast night, he even completed the research and development test for the fusion tyrant form.

n

nFang Heng had created too many miracles.

n

nIt felt like a dream.

n

nOsborne was also forced to bustle about with Fang Heng all day long.

n

nUntil now, he finally had a moment to rest.

n

nWith a “ding”, the door of the elevator at the end of the hallway opened. Ni Shengtao walked out with a delighted look. He walked straight to the hall.

n

n“Is Boss inside?”

n

n“Yes, he’s in the hall,” Osborne replied. “He did a test for the fusion tyrant form last night and just came back this morning. Then he has been staying in the hall. He told us not to disturb him unless it’s an emergency.”

n

nNi Shengtao was greatly surprised.

n

n“What? The fusion tyrant form? Is it the modified Tyrant form experiment left behind by Mr. Cook?”

n

n“Yes.”

n

nThe fusion tyrant form was a great weapon left behind by Cook Barn.

n

nWith it, their Scavenger Army’s strength would be significantly improved!

n

nNi Shengtao was excited and immediately asked, “How’s he doing? How is the situation of the test?”

n

n“Last night, he cleared a total of fourteen small and medium-sized shelters.”

n

n“Fourteen?!”

n

nNi Shengtao’s eyes widened.

n

nHe even suspected that he had heard wrong.

n

nHow could the fusion tyrant form be so powerful?!

n

n“Yeah, fourteen. The preliminary test results are perfect.”

n

nOsborne did not like Ni Shengtao’s exaggerated reaction, even though he was also shocked when he had just heard this news.

n

nOsborne continued to ask, “Why are you here? Anything to report?”

n

n“Yes.” Ni Shengtao slightly adjusted his excited mood. Then he continued, “I have to report something unusual to Boss. There has been a mutant worm attack in the nearby White Horse River region. Many survivors’ shelters have been attacked by the mutant worms, almost all wiped out. Now, all the survivors’ shelters are in a panic.

n

nThis is good news for us, isn’t it? I’ve asked someone to test it. Just like the zombie virus, the members of Scavenger Army will not be attacked by the mutant worms.”

n

nNi Shengtao’s eyes flashed with excitement. “With this opportunity and Boss’s newly developed fusion tyrant form, we can quickly expand our territory and occupy the White Horse River region.”

n

nMutant worms? The White Horse River region?

n

nFang Heng seemed to have gone to the White Horse River region to test the fusion tyrant form last night, right?

n

nOsborne was puzzled. He nodded and said, “I hope so.”
