Chapter 458: Vaccine Body Information Collection

Fang Heng, we have entered the central area of the Western region and are heading towards the coordinates. There is an area of scorched ruins there. There are no usable materials nearby, so no player has established a shelter there.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Zhong Lei breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Fang Heng in a low voice, The Seventh Dimension is one of the larger gaming unions in the Western region. Weve worked together with them a few times before, so we can be considered friends. Not long ago, the president had just contacted them, and they dont have any plans for a guild shelter at the moment.

Mm.

Fang Heng flipped through the game log and nodded. Looks like the people from the Seventh Dimension arent too reliable. Theyve sent people to follow us.

What?

Zhong Lei was stunned.

People? How did Fang Heng know?

Then, Zhong Lei realized that something was wrong.

Not to mention the fact that their guild and Fang Hengs cooperation needed to be kept a secret. Once someone followed them, even their secret mission this time would be greatly affected.

What should we do? Should we stop first and think of a way to get rid of them?

Theres no need. Weve already gotten rid of them.

Zhong Lei was stunned.

So fast? When did this happen? He didnt see him making a move?

Fang Heng waved his hand, and he said casually, I did some research earlier and found that the worm body can also invade the Lickers body and temporarily live under the Lickers skin. Although they cant enhance the Licker, sometimes they can produce some unexpected enhanced effects...

Hearing Fang Hengs words, Zhong Lei suddenly felt a chill on his back.

So, Fang Heng had parasitized those mutant worm bodies on the Licker?

Zhong Lei comforted himself again and again. Fang Heng was not an enemy but a teammate.

Hey, dont look like that. Im not a monster. I just want to study the cooperation between zombie team members and add some tactics. Shouldnt we stockpile more mutant worm bodies and then spread them out?

Theoretically, we cant do that. Ding Min shook her head and said, Ive studied the mutant worm bodies. After they leave the body of the fusion Tyrant form for a period of time, their activity and attacking power will gradually decrease. Its already the limit for them to survive for a week without finding a host. They cant stock up and nurtured in large quant.i.ties.

Is that so... Fang Heng was disappointed. Its a pity that we cant use this bug.

But your idea is still very good. The Lickers battle idea is a bit interesting. Ding Min nodded and encouraged, Its a pity that the Lickers cant provide enough nutrients to the mutant worm bodies. If the mutant worm body infects the Licker, it will greatly reduce the Lickers function, and the loss outweighs the gain...

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhong Lei couldnt help but shrink his neck again.

Sure enough, they were from the Scavenger Army. There was something wrong with both of them.

...

An hour later, the group arrived at the zombie virus vaccine spread point that Ding Min had chosen beforehand.

More than twenty trucks lined up and stopped by the roadside.

Ding Min got off the truck.

In front of her was a scorched ruin.

Fang Heng signaled to Ding Min with his eyes.

Ding Mins expression was serious. She walked to the open s.p.a.ce in front of her, carefully placed the box containing the highly concentrated vaccine on the ground, and pressed a b.u.t.ton on the box.

Step back a little.

Ding Min took Fang Heng and the others to step back a distance.

Is it done?

Yes, it will take some time to spread... Ding Min looked at the experimental subject box in front of her and carefully observed it. I need to collect the first sample in ten minutes.

Fang Heng asked, Will there be problems with my zombies?

There wont be. Unless the vaccine body is improved in the next stage, the antibody vaccines effect on the zombies will be very limited. Besides, your zombie corpse is special.

Thats good.

Zhong Lei, who was listening by the side, was confused.

He was very curious as to why he came all the way to the Western region.

Soon, a hint flashed in front of Fang Hengs eyes.

[Hint: Players team has released a highly concentrated anti-virus vaccine.]

[Hint: The anti-virus vaccine is spreading...]

[Hint: Players main storyline mission has an anomaly... Auto-repair is processing...]

[Hint: Repair completed. The players team has triggered the main storyline mission Vaccine Body Information Collection].

Mission name: Vaccine Body Information Collection.

Mission description: You have released a highly unstable anti-virus vaccine. The vaccine may cause a special mutation. Please collect as much information as possible.

Mission requirements: Try to collect information on the anti-virus vaccine and the zombies affected by the vaccine.

Mission reward: ??? (Affected by human intervention, unknown reward).

This...

Vaccine?

The main storyline special mission?

Unknown reward? Human Intervention?

Zhong Lei also received a team mission.

The amount of information provided by the mission was too large, and he hadnt had time to enquire yet.

Just as he raised his head, Zhong Lei noticed that something strange had happened in the scorched area ahead.

Hey, look over there.

Fang Heng slightly narrowed his eyes.

Chi! Chi chi!

One by one, green-gray palms reached out from the ground.

Mutated zombies rose from the ground and struggled to crawl out.

Their bodies were covered in mud, and they let out wails as they slowly walked toward Fang Heng.

[Hint: The spread of the vaccine has caused a mutation of the virus in the area.]

[Hint: The current spread of the vaccine in the area is 0.32%. The mutation in the area is 0.05%. The purification of the area is 0.02%.]

Ding Min looked around vigilantly and moved closer to Fang Heng, and she said in a low voice, Fang Heng, as I predicted, the probability of the virus causing a small mutation in the zombies is very high. I need to collect more samples.

Um. It seems that our luck is indeed not that good.

Zhong Lei thought to himself, Is this a problem of luck?

He also became nervous. He took out the automatic rifle from his backpack and stood side by side with Fang Heng, getting ready for battle.

Zhong Lei noticed that Fang Heng had taken something out of his backpack and was in a fighting posture.

Five mutated zombies were also in the same posture as him.

They were holding the same special weapons as Fang Heng.

Eh?

What the h.e.l.l?

Silver...

Are they needles!

Chi chi chi...

The next second, Zhong Lei heard a chafing sound.

Then, countless scarlet Lickers swept past them.

The Lickers sharp claws plunged into the mutated zombie team!

Fang Hengs game log refreshed quickly!

[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has killed a Tier 1 mutated zombie. You have obtained information related to the mutated zombie. Mission completion rate: 0.001%...]

Eh? Collecting information by killing a mutated creature?

Fang Hengs eyes lit up.

It should be similar to the previous missions he had encountered. In theory, he could obtain the completion rate by killing the mutated zombies and collecting a sample.

However, the completion rate provided by killing one was too little?
