Chapter 248 Many Enemies Currently, the development of the game could be divided into three parts. The first was the evolution of the Licker. The battle at the mansion had fully proved the strength of the Licker. It had to be mass-produced! There were no shortcuts in this area. He could only rely on luck to find a researcher to upgrade the shelter’s scientific research level, as well as to rely on Qiu Yaokang’s research activities. The next step was expansion. Twenty-eight game areas were big enough for him to develop for a while. Resources within these areas were all mined and stored in the shelter. Then, the shelter could be expanded a second, third and even the fourth time. And then the last step was to… Level up! Thinking about it carefully, this Blood Moon was not bad. It had resulted in a lot of evolution crystal fragments, and the shelter level had risen to Level 17. It was still two levels away from Level 19, but the number of Tier 1 evolution crystals that he lacked was massive. He would start by expanding the shelter’s level! Fang Heng opened the shelter’s attribute panel. The second expansion of the shelter required a large amount of stone, wood and iron nuggets. He did not lack wood. As for stones, as long as he was willing to dig for them, he could find them everywhere. Besides obtaining iron nuggets, the iron nuggets also needed to be smelted in a furnace. He was short of this at the moment! He could go to the apocalypse merchant camp to buy it. This way, he seemed to lack a lot of manpower to transport stone and wood. He felt a throbbing headache. Huh? “Hey, what are you doing? Didn’t you already draw blood?” Raising his head, Fang Heng saw Qiu Yaokang holding an extremely large blood sample collector in his hand, staring at him blankly. His expression was indescribably strange. “The blood sample was taken just now to study the pupa project. Now, I’m taking a sample of your genes to prepare for rebirth later.” “Mr Tsugawa Hideharu’s pupa project is indeed amazing.” “Victor has already successfully assembled the pupa project’s reincarnation device in the basement.” “The design of the device is very exquisite. If all of it is dismantled and studied, we will be able to obtain more information related to the pupa project.” “However, doing so will also damage the machinery and cause it to malfunction.” “In short, I need to take a sample of your genes in advance. I heard from Mo Jiawei that this time, you seem to have conned quite a few people outside.” “You have too many enemies now. If one day you were to accidentally die, I can still use the device to keep you alive.” Fang Heng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Looking at the oversized sample collector, he suddenly felt as if his feet were floating. On the top floor of AEFC Company. The first rays of the morning sun shone on his body. Meng Hao felt a warm fuzzy feeling. “I heard you’re leaving.” “Of course. I’m the scapegoat. The company suffered such a huge loss. It’s already good enough that they didn’t send me to prison for half of my life.” Zhao Qinsi was silent for a moment before saying, “We all know that the responsibility for this matter doesn’t lie with you. Your plan was approved by the board of directors.” “Hahaha, you’re the only one who spoke up for me. That’s very nice of you.” Meng Hao patted Zhao Qinsi’s shoulder in a friendly manner. “Are you still holding a grudge?” “Not really. I admit that I’m inferior, I admit my weakness.” Meng Hao shrugged his shoulders, appearing very calm. “What do you mean? We were set up?” “Yes, I’ve thought it through thoroughly. Everything was set up. I was deceived.” “I was tricked from the very beginning.” “They used my plan and then counterattacked. They used the pupa project as bait, causing us to suffer huge losses. In the end, they even made things difficult between us and the Federation.” Thinking back, Meng Hao was still a bit unwilling to accept this. “When I think back, there was a loophole. Unfortunately, the situation was too urgent, and I didn’t have any time to think back then.” “What loophole?” “A mission hint. Come to think of it, when Tsugawa Hideharu agreed to exchange the pupa project with us, we didn’t receive any mission hint.” “Unfortunately, we were already in a terrible situation, and there was such a big temptation in front of us.” Meng Hao sighed. “I couldn’t resist the temptation!” “It’s not entirely your fault. There are very few missions that don’t trigger a mission hint.” Zhao Qinsi lowered his head in thought. “So, from that moment on, we…” “No, it was much earlier than that. Did you know that I received news yesterday that the prison only took less than 10 minutes to clean up the battlefield?” “This…” Zhao Qinsi raised his head, his eyes flashing with disbelief. “You felt it too, right?” “The prison’s Blood Moon difficulty level was much lower than we thought, and our shelter encountered Blood Moon Level 32.” “And we saw Lucia, who belonged to the prison side.” “All in all, the people from the prison party set this whole thing up. As to how they did it, I remember an anime character saying that after eliminating all the impossibilities…” The two said almost at the same time, “Space tearing!” Zhao Qinsi shook his head and smiled bitterly, “So we were fooled by him from the beginning to the end. Are you going to take revenge?” “No, I’m not interested.” Meng Hao shook his head. “Never again. This kid is cheating. It’s boring to play with him.” “Heh…” “Also, I’m going to District 6 of the Vampire Apocalypse. They need me there. Do you want to come?” “Huh?!” After listening to Fang Heng’s story, Mo Jiawei looked at him in surprise. He looked around and lowered his voice. “God, the friend you mentioned…” “That’s right, it’s me. Don’t tell anyone else.” Fang Heng admitted it openly. “Okay!” Mo Jiawei agreed immediately. He hesitated again and asked, “God, are you related to the anti-federation forces?” “Of course not.” Mo Jiawei let out a sigh of relief. “I do know some information, but it’s best not to mention what I’d said to anyone else.” “Okay.” “If I’m not wrong, you must have performed some kind of ritual.” That’s right! It was a ritual! Fang Heng stared at Mo Jiawei. “Tell me more.” Mo Jiawei scratched his head, looking a little distressed. “Well… actually, I’m not sure. According to what you said, you saw yourself being forced to hold a ritual in your dream…” “But as far as I know, this kind of ritual can only be performed voluntarily. It’s very difficult to be forced to perform it.” “Voluntarily?” Fang Heng felt strange. Could it be that the original owner of this body of his took the initiative to perform the ritual? He asked, “What’s the purpose of the ritual?” “To unlock it.” Mo Jiawei sighed and said in a low voice, “The apocalypse is coming.” Fang Heng immediately recalled what he saw in the notebook and blurted out. “The game reflects reality?” “As expected, you also know.” Mo Jiawei’s face showed an expression that said it all. “Is it all true?” Mo Jiawei nodded and then quickly shook his head. “I don’t know the first half of the sentence, but the second half is most likely true.” “The so-called ‘lock’ is the restriction set by the game.”
