Chapter 101: Tower Defense Game

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As expected, the Licker did not follow the path of the maze!

At first, it crawled along the wall made of logs for a few meters. Soon, it climbed up, trying to climb over from above.

“Chi!!”

When it touched the wooden spike trap, several small wounds were scraped on the Licker’s body.

However, the Licker continued to move forward quickly!

Carrying the damage from the spike trap, the Licker directly jumped over.

Another few rustling sounds could be heard.

Dozens of red shadows darted out of the prison building one after another!

Chen Yu instantly shuddered.

Oh no!

There were too many Lickers!

Although the team led by Chen Yu was not of a high level and lacked actual combat experience, they had all received professional training within the federation.

During the training, they had seen the Lickers’ combat scenes countless times!

At this moment, they still felt their scalps go numb when they saw nearly 20 Lickers coming out from the maze!

The 20 Lickers followed the path created by their ‘senior’ and climbed over the maze before quickly rushing towards Fang Heng and Liao Bufan.

Chen Yu’s heart sank.

Not good!

The damage to the Lickers caused by the spike trap was extremely limited!

The Lickers directly ignored the damage and forced their way in!

Their plan failed!

“Quick! Prepare to shoot! Protect Fang Heng!”

Chen Yu was about to give the order to shoot when he suddenly realized something. He stretched out his hand and signalled his members to stop shooting.

“Eh? What’s going on?”

Why did the Lickers slow down?

Chen Yu revealed a shocked expression.

He noticed that a few Lickers that were climbing up the side of the log wall had accidentally slipped off the wall.

After a few consecutive attempts, most of the Lickers stopped climbing up the wall. Instead, they spent a lot of time and effort going around the maze.

Why?

What was going on?

Chen Yu was puzzled. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Fang Heng and Liao Bufan.

At this moment, Fang Heng and Liao Bufan had already run to the back and successfully climbed up a sentry tower not far away.

Chen Yu saw Liao Bufan holding a pistol and giving the Lickers who were circling the maze below the middle finger.

“Hehe, mechanical lubricant, isn’t it cool? Have you never seen this thing before?”

Mechanical lubricant!

Chen Yu immediately understood.

So that’s how it was!

They had smeared lubricant on the spikes above!

As the Lickers’ limbs were covered in lubricant, their movement speed decreased slightly. They couldn’t even stick to the wall and climb!

“Chen Yu! Do it!”

Hearing Fang Heng’s shout, Chen Yu immediately came back to his senses and gave the order for the team to attack.

“Fire!”

“Bang! Bang Bang!”

The elite federation players hiding in the sentry towers raised their guns and fired at the same time.

Gunshots rang out loudly!

Bullets rained down on the ground.

The Lickers were extremely fast!

Relying on their powerful senses, they were able to flip back and forth in the narrow passage, dodging the bullets.

Even though the lubricant on the Lickers had slightly reduced their mobility and the sentry towers helped to increase their hit rate, the damage was still not enough!

Chen Yu was completely focused. Cold sweat dripped down from his cheeks, and a large area of his back was drenched in sweat.

The only thing he could count on now was the maze to slow down the Lickers’ attack.

“Bang!”

Another gunshot.

Chen Yu was stunned to find that the Licker’s head that he was trying to aim at exploded with a bang.

What was going on?

The Licker’s head had been blown off!?

He turned around and looked at the sentry tower behind him.

An NPC was holding a pure black sniper rifle, aiming at the Licker below.

Sniper rifle?!

A terrifying sniper rifle!

At this stage of the game, there was someone who could use a sniper rifle?!

Taking a closer look, as many as five sniper rifles were poking out from the sentry towers!

NPC!

It was the Dark Knights’ mercenaries!

Looking at the armband on the NPC’s shoulder, the name flashed through Chen Yu’s mind.

That’s right!

At this stage of the game, the players’ levels were very low.

And the requirement to use a sniper rifle was Level 10 gun mastery.

Within this server, the highest level players in the federation were still one-fifth away from Level 5 and needed to absorb nearly one-fifth of the evolution crystal fragments.

Other than players, only elite NPCs of the Dark Knights could have the ability to use a sniper rifle!

This meant that Fang Heng had already completed the Dark Knights’ mission line?

To be able to mobilize so many elite Dark Knights meant that his level within the Dark Knights was extremely high!

Apart from that, he had to pay a large number of honor points for this.

The federation had only just received a mission related to the Dark Knights, and they were trying their best to seize the time to complete it.

Yet, not only had Fang Heng completed the mission, he even had a large number of honor points?

How did he do it?

Chen Yu could not understand it for a moment.

Ever since he came to the prison, he found that Fang Heng had more and more things that he could not understand.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Gunshots rang out in the square.

Chen Yu temporarily put down the doubts in his heart and turned his head to look at the prison square.

The power of a sniper rifle was much greater than a normal pistol!

Even though a sniper rifle was still unable to kill a Licker in one shot.

Unless it hit a vital point, a sniper rifle would need at least three shots to take out a Licker.

Moreover, there was a limit to its accuracy.

However, the members of the Dark Knights who controlled the sniper rifle were all elites!

Coupled with the bonus to their accuracy from the sentry tower, their accuracy was maintained at 80%.

The Lickers who were running around in the maze had nowhere to hide and were gradually dying under the sniper rifle’s fire.

So it turned out that the Dark Knights were Fang Heng’s killing move against these Lickers!

Their federal team was merely icing on the cake.

Since when did their federation elite team become a part of the numbers?

Compared to the elites of the Dark Knights…

Chen Yu felt a sense of inferiority. He could not help but turn around and look at the sentry tower where Fang Heng was.

Just how many secrets was Fang Heng hiding from them?

[Hint: The Dark Knights that you temporarily recruited have killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-Licker. You have obtained survival points*29, you have obtained a Licker sample*1. Current mission: Collect Licker sample completion rate: 2%. Current mission: Clear Tier 2 zombies completion rate: 1%.]

[Hint: The Dark Knights that you temporarily recruited has killed a Tier 2 mutated zombie-Licker. You have obtained survival points*29, you have obtained a Licker…]

“Success.”

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the messages that were gradually appearing in the game log.

The plan was perfect.

The Lickers were slowed down by the maze that was built and fell under the attack of the sniper rifle.

On one side, Liao Bufan, who had been chased around for half a day, held a pistol in one hand while the other took out a bag of chocolates from his backpack and he started chewing on them.

“Sigh!”

He sighed and silently watched as the Lickers continued to die at the hands of the federation and the mercenaries. He then turned his head to look at Fang Heng.

“A survival game has been turned into a tower defense game. Boss, you’re something!”
