Chapter 332: Nurturing
“The zombie wave will respawn in 10 minutes. In theory, we will encounter a Tier 4 mutated zombie this time.”
“Let’s talk about the battle plan. The difficulty of this zombie wave is the mutated zombie, One-eyed. Its actual combat ability can reach Tier 5, so we can’t fight it head-on.”
“What we need to do later is to think of a way to lure the one-eyed zombie into the pit. As for the other low-level zombies, it will be like before where we rely on traps and guns to deal with them.”
“To prevent accidents, the Lickers will also help deal with the normal zombies.”
Fang Heng roughly laid out the battle plan. As he spoke, he nodded at Pan Jinwen and said, “The zombie horde has an additional hatred towards the faction leader, later you will follow me. Yu Jie, you will be in charge of mobilizing the other players. We will contact each other through the walkie-talkie.”
Pan Jinwen nodded heavily and said, “Alright.”
Yu Jie nodded solemnly as well.
He still felt that the risk was too great.
Fang Heng’s plan might be feasible in theory.
However, it was only in theory. It was too difficult to operate in reality.
For example, how could Fang Heng push all the one-eyed zombies into the pit?
If one was not careful, as long as one was missed out, the shelter might suffer a devastating blow.
“Bang! Bang Bang!”
Heavy footsteps sounded behind them.
The Tyrant form carried a crystal coffin and strode forward, arriving at the edge of the pit.
Fang Heng nodded at the Tyrant form.
The Tyrant form pulled open the coffin and threw the crystallized form into the pit.
Seven tiny worms landed at the bottom of the pit.
The worms that were already in suspended animation sensed a certain aura.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
The seven crystallized worms immediately reacted. They quickly woke up and slowly climbed towards the blue crystal ores.
In just a few minutes, the crystallized worms laid on the blue crystal ores one by one, greedily absorbing the blue crystal ore’s energy.
The crystallized worm’s body slowly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fang Heng nodded at the crowd.
“Let’s begin! Get ready for battle.”
[Hint: In three minutes, there will be a new zombie wave. In this zombie wave, our camp will spawn eight Tier 4 mutated zombies-One-eyed. Player, please get ready.]
“It’s coming! Raise your spirits and defend this wave!”
Fang Heng shouted to boost the morale.
When the three-minute countdown was up, the zombie horde immediately spawned around the shelter.
The players stood on the newly built sentry tower and aimed their guns at the zombie horde.
In seven days, with the addition of the game’s difficulty, the HP of the ordinary zombies had increased by more than ten times.
The damage of the pistol to the zombies was already very small.
However, the movement speed of the zombies was still a weakness.
The players were also very experienced. They used all kinds of traps to slow down the zombie horde’s attack on the shelter, and used them in an orderly manner.
Wave after wave of zombies fell on the way to the shelter.
Hundreds of Lickers formed combat units and would occasionally charge out from the side of the zombie wave to help the player reduce the number of ordinary zombies.
Fang Heng’s eyes were fixed at a distance.
With the help of the Lickers and the players, dealing with ordinary zombies was not a problem.
The real threat was the higher level Tier 4 zombie-One-eyed.
The one-eyed zombie was a special mutant, with a huge eyeball protruding from its head. It had powerful regenerative and destructive abilities.
Its biggest characteristic was that it used a huge bone club as a weapon to carry out an area-of-effect attack.
Among the zombies, a one-eyed zombie stepped forward and waved the huge bone club in its hand.
It was coming!
The one-eyed zombie was the same size as the Tyrant form. They were both large-scale living forms and were especially eye-catching among the zombies.
Fang Heng immediately controlled a Tyrant form to charge at the one-eyed zombie.
With the high attribute boost from the special event, the destructive power of the one-eyed zombie had long broken through to Tier 5!
The one-eyed zombie waved the huge bone club in its hand and smashed it in the direction where the Tyrant form was charging at.
“Bang!!!”
There was a heavy muffled sound! Following that, there was the sound of bones breaking one after another.
Tyrant form was hit in the chest by a bone club and was sent flying three to four meters away.
“Roar!!!”
The one-eyed zombie roared.
An opportunity!
Taking advantage of this gap, Fang Heng immediately controlled the other three Tyrant forms to pounce on the one-eyed zombie.
“Bang!!!”
The one-eyed zombie was hit by the three Tyrant forms at the same time. They tangled together and fell into the deep pit behind them.
“Boom!!”
The one-eyed zombie fell heavily into the bottom of the pit.
The three Tyrant forms used the vines formed by their right hands to hang on the edge of the pit.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
The vines quickly contracted and pulled the three Tyrant forms back to the ground.
“Roar!!!”
The one-eyed zombie that was trapped at the bottom of the pit was completely enraged and let out a wild roar.
Its scarlet eye was filled with blood vessels. It raised its bone club and smashed it at the rock wall.
“Bang!”
“Bang Bang!”
The entire pit shook violently!
The Tier 5 crystallized worms that were greedily devouring the blue crystal ores at the bottom of the pit were disturbed.
Coincidentally, the crystallized worms needed to devour some flesh and blood in addition to devouring the blue crystal ores.
As for whether the flesh and blood were fresh or not, it didn’t matter.
“Chi Chi Chi! !”
Facing the delicious food that was delivered to their doorstep, the seven Tier 5 crystallized worms pounced on the one-eyed zombie and started tearing at it.
Their sharp mouthparts directly bit off pieces of flesh and blood from the one-eyed zombie’s body!
“Roar!”
The one-eyed zombie was in pain. It swung its bone club and started hammering the crystallized worms in the pit.
“Bang!”
“Bang! Bang!”
The crystallized evolved armour had fine cracks after being hammered by the one-eyed zombie many times!
They were both at Tier 5, so the one-eyed zombie wasn’t weak. However, it was hard to fight against four hands with two fists. After being bitten by seven crystallized creatures continuously, it was soon unable to make an effective counterattack.
“It’s done.”
Standing on the high ground, Fang Heng clenched his fists.
The one-eyed zombie was as strong as a Tier 5 zombie, but couldn’t gain any advantage under the attack of the crystallized creatures, so it became the prey of the crystallized worms.
If it weren’t for the help of the crystallized worms, he wouldn’t have been able to kill 16 one-eyed zombies.
Pan Jinwen, who was standing beside Fang Heng, was also shocked by such aggressive creatures.
“So this is Fang Heng’s trump card that allows him to have the confidence to deal with this crisis?”
While he was still in shock, Pan Jinwen saw something out of the corner of his eye and shouted, “Fang Heng! Over there!”
Fang Heng turned his head and looked at the other side of the battlefield.
Another one-eyed zombie that had just respawned walked towards the sentry tower on the right side of the shelter.
It swung its huge bone club.
“Boom!!”
The bone club hit the sentry tower!
After taking a heavy hit, the durability of the sentry tower was only left with a little bit of HP. It was directly destroyed and could not be used.
The player on the sentry tower was so scared that he immediately turned his head and jumped down.
Fang Heng was already prepared. He raised his sniper rifle, switched to armour-piercing bullets and aimed at the one-eyed zombie’s head.
“Bang!!!”
A gunshot was heard.
The bullet exploded into a cloud of blood mist on the one-eyed zombie’s head.
The one-eyed zombie slowly turned its head and looked in the direction where Fang Heng was standing.
Fang Heng looked at it calmly.
