Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 104: Second Basement

“Fang Heng, what are you thinking about?”

“Nothing, just to be on the safe side, I need you to stay here for a while longer and wait for me to completely guarantee the safety of the prison building before leaving.”

Fang Heng did not dare to gamble.

After all, Li Bo only had 3 vitality points and 3 agility points. Not only was his running speed slow, but his HP was also low.

If he accidentally met a Licker who slipped through the net when he left…

He would die!

“Okay, then I’ll stay here for a while longer. You have to come and pick me up immediately.”

Li Bo was quite afraid of death, so he didn’t mind staying here for a while longer.

“By the way, you haven’t been to the second basement of Prison No. 3, right?”

“Huh?” Fang Heng, who was about to leave, raised his eyebrows. He turned around and asked, “I’m about to go there to take a look. Do you know where it is?”

“Phew!”

Li Bo patted his chest and looked relieved.

“Fortunately, you didn’t go there. Otherwise, it would have been cold.”

“Why?”

“It’s very dangerous there. We encountered an extremely rare individual mutation when we were conducting the Licker research.”

“You mean Erita?”

“You’ve heard of him too?”

Li Bo was a little surprised. He explained from the beginning.

“You’re right. It’s Erita.”

“Erita was originally a criminal. Because his physical fitness far exceeded that of an ordinary person, he underwent a special mutation during the evolution of a Licker.”

“For Meteorite Company, Erita is of great research value. After he was infected with the virus, it was detected that he still possessed a part of his cognitive thinking ability.”

“The company has been trying to research a way to completely control biological weapons. Having cognitive thinking ability is the foundation.”

“Therefore, the team specially modified the second basement of Prison No. 3 and set up a special research department for Erita.”

Fang Heng asked, “Then why can’t I go in?”

“Some time ago, the prison was discovered to have been infiltrated. The company set up a special alarm device at Prison No. 3 for safety purposes.”

“Once an outsider breaks into the second basement, it will immediately activate Erita’s awakening.”

“Special alarm? Is using a backup magnetic card to enter the second basement considered an invasion?”

“Yes, this is the method the company has adopted to prevent secrets from leaking out. Under extreme circumstances, to protect the information related to the ‘Biological Weapon’ project, just like three years ago, the company will choose to directly awaken Erita and cause a biochemical accident to directly destroy all evidence.”

Fang Heng frowned.

“Erita is still in hibernation?”

“It should be.”

After being trapped for so long, Li Bo was not sure.

“The power supply in the basement of Prison No. 3 has solar energy. As long as the nutrient solution in the cultivation pod is sufficient, it should be able to last for two to three years.”

The mission seemed to have changed again.

According to the mission process that Chen Yu gave him earlier on when he got the magnetic card, he would be able to enter the basement of Prison No. 3.

At that time, the sleeping Erita would also be awakened.

The final mission would be to think of a way to kill Erita.

Now it sounded like Erita had been well controlled and was still in a dormant state.

It was probably because the predecessors of the other servers had accidentally killed Li Bo during the mission, or because it was too late to explore the basement and Li Bo had starved to death.

This caused them to trigger the alarm when they broke into the secret research room of Prison No. 3, waking up Erita.

Fang Heng touched his chin.

The unconscious Erita should be easier to deal with, right?

Maybe he could even complete the mission directly!

Fang Heng raised his head.

“Is there any way to directly enter the research room where Erita is without triggering the alarm?”

“You need to verify the authority of the researcher. In addition to the magnetic card needed to open the three iron gates, you also need to verify the researcher’s iris.”

Fang Heng understood.

Other than being the reward for this phase of the mission, Li Bo was also the ‘key’ to open the research room in Prison No. 3.

“Okay, after I completely clean up Prison No. 1, you will accompany me to the research room.”

“Do we have to go? It’s too dangerous there.”

The corners of Li Bo’s mouth curled into a bitter smile.

…

Fang Heng searched the prison building again in detail, breaking through all the rooms to confirm that there were no hidden Lickers.

After completely cleaning up the prison building, everyone began to modify the ‘maze’.

When the maze was first designed, Fang Heng had already made plans to deal with Erita.

Therefore, he only needed to slightly change the entrance of the maze to the exit of Prison No. 3.

Finally, he will evacuate the NPCs in Prison No. 3.

All the members of the Dark Knights switched to armour-piercing bullets.

Chen Yu led the federal team to stand by in the sentry tower.

Everything was prepared to defeat Erita.

They had to kill Erita before 8 a.m. tomorrow!

When everything was ready, Fang Heng led Li Bo into the basement of Prison No. 3.

In front of the three iron gates, Fang Heng used the spare key to scan the instrument.

“Beep Beep Beep! Verification successful!”

The three iron gates in front opened one by one.

“Don’t go in yet.”

Li Bo pulled Fang Heng.

He walked to the device on the wall and pressed a few numbers on the password lock.

“Ka!”

The wall above the password lock opened, revealing an identification device.

Li Bo moved his face closer.

“Iris verification successful. Welcome back, Dr Li.”

Li Bo heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Fang Heng. “Alright, you can go in now. Erita is inside.”

“You’re not going in?”

“Of course not!”

Li Bo shook his head as if it was a matter of course.

“This place is too dangerous. It’s been so long. What if something unexpected happens and Erita wakes up early?”

Li Bo said with certainty.

“Fang Heng, I’m very grateful that you saved my life. I advise you not to go in. We don’t have to risk our lives for it. Can’t we just live well?”

“No, you have to go with us. The prison is our residence. We have to eliminate this threat. Otherwise, do you want to sleep on the street full of zombies?”

“Besides, only you know how to operate the test bench. What if I accidentally activate Erita?”

“But, but…”

“No ‘buts’. Come in with me.”

Li Bo hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he was dragged into the second basement by Fang Heng.

[Hint: Your friendship with Li Bo has decreased slightly.]

[Hint: Li Bo’s loyalty has decreased by 1 point.]

Going down the stairs, the door of the second basement laboratory was tightly closed.

Pushing the door open, a gust of cold air blew into his face.

As soon as he entered, Fang Heng saw the tempered glass facing the door.

The tempered glass divided the laboratory into two.

On the other side of the glass was a large vertical cultivation pod.

The cultivation pod was four meters tall and had the company logo of ‘Meteorite’ engraved on it.

A burly human with a height of nearly three meters was quietly floating in the cultivation pod.

Fang Heng and Li Bo looked at each other.

“He’s Erita.”

Li Bo whispered.

He held his breath and carefully walked to the mechanical console at the side. He quickly entered a series of commands on the main control platform..
