Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 424: Stealing Home

“Humans have always been a very fragile life form.”

“Ordinary human bodies cannot directly withstand the parasitism of high-level worms. They need a long time to adapt to the transformation of the parasites. During this period, they also need to constantly take the nutrient solution. The process is too long.”

“But the zombie corpse is different. From a certain point of view, zombies are more adapted to worms than humans.”

While speaking, Cook Barn turned his head and looked at the Tyrant form behind Fang Heng.

“The Tyrant, the product that was modified by the Meteorite Company, is compatible with strength and agility. Its design is full of beauty, isn’t it?”

Fang Heng was stunned. “You want to let the Tyrant form and the worm body fuse together?”

“That’s right. Recently, I’ve been thinking about the research on zombies and worm bodies.”

“I know that in the past, the Meteorite Company also had a similar Nemesis plan, but they didn’t know much about the research on worm bodies. I’ve improved on the foundation of the Nemesis.”

Cook Barn looked at Fang Heng. “How is it? Do you want to try to let the zombie form you control fuse with it? Do you want to let your Tyrant form gain more strength?”

It could transform an evolved Tyrant!?

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up and he immediately asked, “Can it be done?”

“Of course, you’ve done so much for the army recently. This is the reward that you deserve.”

Cook Barn turned around again and faced the large-scale cultivation pod, “But currently, this research is still in progress. The configuration of the worm body and nutrient solution is extremely limited. We still lack one very important thing...”

Fang Heng frowned.

“As long as you can help me find the box, I can immediately perfect the modification. What do you think?”

A row of game hints flashed in front of Fang Heng’s eyes.

[Hint: Player has discovered an evolution option for the zombie corpse Tyrant-unknown worm body modification upgrade.]

[Hint: After the modification is completed, the value of each attribute will be greatly increased, allowing the Tyrant form to have a stronger vitality and explosive power while retaining the original modification.]

[Hint: Current fusion success rate is 100%. The transformation will take 72 hours. You can reduce the transformation time by spending survival points.]

[Hint: Player’s current mission: Mysterious box reward update. After completing the mission, you can obtain a special transformation opportunity for the transformation cultivation pod.]

Mission name: Unknown box.

Mission objective: Obtain more mysterious boxes and hand them over to Cook Barn.

Mission description: For every mysterious box submitted to Cook Barn, you will receive three chances to modify the unknown worm body. As the number of mysterious boxes submitted increases, the player will receive more modification opportunities.

Fang Heng took a deep breath.

Pretty cool!

It was a 100% success rate!

Fang Heng’s heart was burning.

After completing the transformation, the Tyrant form would completely evolve into a Tier 4 life form!

After combining the Tyrant form vine parasite and the unknown worm body’s three attribute characteristic skills, the Tyrant form’s strength could compete with a normal Tier 5 mutated zombie!

“Fang Heng, find the box and I can help you complete the transformation of the Tyrant form. Do you understand?”

Fang Heng swallowed his saliva. He felt that he had another reason to work for the Scavenger Army.

“It’s a deal!”

“As expected, I didn’t make a misjudgement. Go ahead and do it, Fang Heng.”

...

After finishing the deal with Cook Barn, Fang Heng seized the time to return to the South City district with Osborne.

Fang Heng opened the map and observed.

The coordinates of the mysterious box of the Meteorite Company were near a camp of the Dark Knights. If he went there directly, he might encounter trouble.

Fang Heng was well aware of the difficulty of the main storyline mission. He planned to make a plan after he returned.

However...

What exactly was in the box that Cook Barn was looking for?

It seemed that it had a great connection with the main storyline mission.

If he got the box, should he open it first and take a look?

Fang Heng was a little conflicted.

“Commander Cook admires you very much. He rarely talks to people for so long.”

“He has good taste.”

Fang Heng chatted with Osborne, trying to get some information out of him.

“By the way, do you know the box Commander Cook is looking for?”

“You mean the box hidden by the Meteorite Company. I do know something about it.”

“Do you mind telling me?”

“I knew Cook earlier than anyone in the Scavenger Army.”

“A long time ago, before the Scavenger Army was formed, Commander Cook and I went to the Meteorite Company’s emergency shelter to search for clues.”

Fang Heng was surprised and asked, “What did you say?”

“Before the zombie crisis broke out, the Meteorite Company had simulated the worldwide biochemical crisis. They had built seven large-scale shelters around the world to deal with the worst that could happen.”

“Once there was a biochemical crisis that was beyond their control, the Meteorite Company would choose to immediately evacuate and enter the emergency shelter to survive.”

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and whispered, “Cook Barn had investigated the Meteorite Company...”

Osborne looked at Fang Heng through the rearview mirror, his eyes flashing with mockery.

“Fang Heng, what do you think is the original intention of the Scavenger Army? To destroy this world? Or to become the new king of this apocalyptic world?”

“Isn’t it? Or is it to save this world?”

“You’re right.”

Fang Heng was stunned, thinking that this reversal was a little fast.

Whether it was clearing the territory occupied by the player’s shelter, or using the special worm found in the first-generation meteorite to develop a divine potion to control his subordinates, all the actions of the Scavenger Army followed the logic of a normal villain.

Why did Osborne say that the Scavenger Army still wanted to clear their name?

“Strange, since your goal is the same as the Dark Knights, why don’t you cooperate with them?”

“You expect those hypocritical Dark Knights to cooperate with us? It’s already good enough that they didn’t slice us up and study us.”

Osborne laughed lightly and sneered disdainfully.

He shook his head and continued, “At the beginning, Cook was worried that the worms in his body would go out of control and cause a riot again. He wanted to use his strength to solve the secret of the first-generation meteorite.”

“No one is willing to believe us. We can only rely on ourselves.”

As he said that, the light in Osborne’s eyes gradually dimmed, “But after that time, Cook became a bit unfamiliar to me. He began to be impatient for quick success. He developed the divine potion and formed the Scavenger Army...”

“Boom!!!!”

Just as Osborne was speaking, Fang Heng heard a loud noise.

Then, under his feet, the big truck shook violently.

What was going on?

Was it an explosion?

Osborne slammed on the brakes.

“Squeak...!”

The big truck left a long skid mark on the ground.

Fang Heng frowned. He immediately poked his head out of the truck window and looked back in the direction of the explosion.

A cloud of thick black smoke rose from the mountains.

It was in the direction of the Scavenger Army headquarters!

Could the location of the explosion be in the army’s headquarters?!

Was his hometown ambushed?

Fang Heng’s heart was gripped in mid-air.

Just after he had obtained the Tyrant form’s transformation plan for the next tier, his hometown was at risk of being stolen?

He had to pray that the Tyrant’s improved cultivation pod in the eighth basement of the research institute would not be damaged by the explosion!

Osborne also stuck his head out of the window.

His expression also changed. He turned to look at Fang Heng. “Fang Heng.”

“Quick! Don’t just stand there, Hurry back and take a look!”

Osborne shut his mouth when he heard that. He immediately drove the truck and headed in the direction of the Scavenger Army headquarters.
