nChen Yu had no idea what Fang Heng was planning.

nHowever, unlike the other federation players, he had confidence in Fang Heng.

nChen Yu would never forget that time he saw a zombie pit in Hope Town.

nHe had never seen such a monster grinding operation even in a federation textbook.

nIt only existed in the players’ verbal attacks’ on the forums.

nChen Yu brought the federal team back and forth to move logs for an entire afternoon.

nThey finally managed to follow Fang Heng’s rough layout before the sun set. After a lot of imagination, they finally managed to come up with such a maze-like layout.

nIt was really too tiring!

nEven the elite recruits of the federation who had undergone strict training in school were somewhat unable to endure it.

nAfter eating dinner and taking a shower, they quickly went offline to rest.

nChen Yu also felt his back ache.

nHe wanted to say hello to Fang Heng before going offline, but strangely, that kid disappeared again.

n“I hope nothing unexpected happens.”

nChen Yu muttered and quickly went offline as well.

nHe still had to report the mission to his leaders.

nNot long after Chen Yu and the others went offline, the zombie clones completed their exploration of Prison No. 2.

nMaterials and more materials were piled up messily in the basement shelter.

nHint: Your zombie group has completed the exploration of Prison No. 2. You have found leek cans*27, instant noodles*43, stimulants*3, homemade knives*1, bandages*23, pistol bullets*4669, pistol (Beretta 92FS)*6, medical alcohol* 2…

nFang Heng roughly glanced at the mission log.

nGood stuff!

nGuns! Bullets!

nThe team currently lacked these!

nFang Heng did not have the time to sort out the items collected. He only hurriedly stuffed the pistols and bullets into his backpack.

nWith a wave of his hand, he left the basement with his zombie clones.

nAfter leaving the Dark Knights’ camp during the day, he first went to the apocalypse merchant camp to buy a lot of nails and mechanical lubricants.

nThen, he took a detour back to the abandoned mine and collected the iron nuggets that he had forged during this period of time.

nWhen he returned to the prison square and saw the ‘maze’ that was formed by a large number of logs, Fang Heng chuckled.

n“Chen Yu and the others are reliable.”

nSuch a complicated maze building was impossible for the zombie clones to build.

nFang Heng looked around.

nThere were still a large number of logs left in the square.

nHe controlled the zombies to walk to another area of the square and began to do the next step.

n“Next, I need to set up a trap. I need to rely on zombies to make it. I need to rebuild the assembly line to speed up the efficiency.”

nFang Heng cheered up. He divided the zombie clones into three assembly lines.

nOne group of zombies made wooden spikes.

nThe other group of zombies started making wooden frames.

nThe last group of zombies made hemp ropes…

n…

nThe next day, Chen Yu and the others finished their daily training outside the game and went online on time as usual.

nThey led the team to the canteen on the first floor of the prison. Chen Yu saw Fang Heng enjoying his breakfast.

n“Fang Heng, we’ve finished building the passage.”

nChen Yu sat cross-legged across from Fang Heng with his food.

n“I ran into some problems during the actual operation. I couldn’t find you yesterday, so I made some changes on my own.”

n“I saw it last night. It was perfect. You’re amazing! I think you’re a genius in architecture!”

n“Would you like some chocolate milk?”

nFang Heng gave Chen Yu a thumbs up in his heart and handed him a packet of chocolate milk.

nAfter seeing the building that Chen Yu had constructed, he even had the thought of poaching him.

nTo be able to expand and perfect the maze building that he had casually drawn, Chen Yu had a knack for architecture.

nHe was a talent!

nFang Heng winked at Chen Yu. “If you don’t work for the federation anymore, you can consider coming to my place. I’ll give you double the salary.”

n“Uh…”

nChen Yu was momentarily at a loss for words. He remembered that the mission his commander had given him was to recruit Fang Heng. Why did it seem like it was the other way now?

n“Haha, I’m just joking.”

nFang Heng took a sip of chocolate milk. “I’ll make some more arrangements. After we finish eating, we’ll start the battle plan. You assemble the federal team and come to the prison square. We’ll eliminate that group of Lickers in one fell swoop and take back Prison No. 1.”

n“Okay!”

nChen Yu’s expression turned serious.

nHe realized that Fang Heng wasn’t joking.

nFang Heng was very confident.

nHowever, how was he going to kill the zombies with a maze that looked like a joke?

nCould it be that..

nHe was going to trap them in the maze and starve them to death?

nChen Yu scratched his head and threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind.

nHe would know when the time came!

nHe still chose to believe in Fang Heng’s plan.

nAfter dinner, Chen Yu brought the federal team to the prison square.

n“This…”

nUpon stepping into the prison square, Chen Yu was dumbfounded.

nNot only was Chen Yu dumbfounded, but the federation soldiers behind him were also dumbfounded.

nThe prison square was completely different from the time they left last night!

nWhat was with all those sentry towers that stood in the square?

nHeavens!

nSentry towers!?

nHow did he build so many sentry towers in one night?

nChen Yu was extremely shocked.

nUnlike the initial shelter, when building a building like a sentry tower, players would need to consume vitality points to build it, in addition to preparing sufficient construction materials.

nWell, maybe materials were not an issue, based on the prison’s stock of materials, perhaps Fang Heng really did not lack them.

nBut what about the construction period?

nFor a building like this, it would take four to five days for two players to complete the construction.

nHow did so many sentry towers appear in just one night?

nConfused, Chen Yu looked up at the top of the sentry tower.

nHe immediately saw the NPC mercenaries guarding the sentry towers.

nThere were mercenaries?

nWere they also recruited by Fang Heng?

n“Chen Yu, you’re here. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

nChen Yu swallowed his saliva and turned his head to look at Fang Heng and Liao Bufan, who had jumped down from the pile of logs.

nLiao Bufan was holding an empty oil barrel in his hand and casually threw it to the side.

n“Fang Heng, did you set up all these sentry towers?”

nAs soon as he said this, Chen Yu immediately felt that this question was very stupid.

nIf it wasn’t Fang Heng who set them up, could it be that he was the one who created a bug to set them?

n“Yeah, I used a little trick.”

nFang Heng answered vaguely.

nThe players from the federal team looked at Fang Heng as if they had seen a ghost.

n“Don’t mind these details. Let’s talk about the plan to deal with the Lickers first.”

nFang Heng was serious. He pointed at the few sentry towers around the maze.

n“To put it simply, I will first think of a way to lure the Lickers out of Prison No. 1. When they enter the sentry towers’ attack range, listen to my command and we will destroy them completely.”

nChen Yu fell into deep thought.

nHe carefully considered the battle plan that Fang Heng had mentioned.

nThere were so many sentry towers…

nIt seemed feasible.

nBut…

nChen Yu couldn’t help but look up at the few sentry towers.

nHow did Fang Heng manage to create so many sentry towers in one night?

n
