Chapter 279 Pack It Up Considering that the Lickers would break into the art gallery and destroy the exhibits, Fang Heng did not choose to let the Lickers enter the art gallery. Hao Zhou and the others felt that they were finally of some use in the mission. According to the information provided by the curator, Sandy Nelen, the sculpture was in the vault on the second basement. Hao Zhou immediately led the team to clean up the entire gallery and searched it thoroughly. It took a lot of effort to find the vault key on the third floor. In the end, they took another big detour before opening the vault door. The giant sculpture of the mission target, the Heart of the Apocalypse, was lying quietly in the center of the vault. When they saw the mission target, the team of players looked at each other and fell into silence at the same time. They had heard that the Heart of the Apocalypse was a large sculpture, but they had not expected it to be so big! It was a full two and a half meters tall. It looked like four or five young men would need to work together to lift it up. How could such a large sculpture be moved out? Hao Zhou asked, “How’s the cargo elevator?” Kun Ba shook his head. “It can’t be used. I’ve checked before. There’s no backup power supply in the art gallery, and the elevator can’t be activated unless we can find a generator to generate electricity ourselves.” Hao Zhou suddenly felt a headache coming on. Where could he find a generator at this time? He could only use the stairs to slowly transport it up with the help of the wooden planks. Hao Zhou made a decision. “I’ll first think of a way to build a platform and transport the sculpture to the staircase.” Although doing so was extremely inefficient, it seemed like this was the only solution at the moment. The few of them immediately took action. They made a high-level wooden plank on the spot and installed rolling wheels under the wooden plank. Finally, they tried to lift the large sculpture onto the wooden plank. “Three, two, one,” “Up!!” Hao Zhou’s face flushed red and the veins on his neck bulged. However, the entire sculpture did not move at all! “No, it’s still too heavy.” Hao Zhou panted heavily and said, “Don’t force it. It’ll be more troublesome if we break the statue.”. “Let me try this.” Kun Ba took out a bottle of short-term strength-enhancement potions with negative effects from his backpack. Just as he was about to drink the potion, heavy footsteps came from the pathway on the second basement. “Bang, Bang…” Everyone was alert and raised their guns to aim at the passage. As the footsteps approached, a huge shadow appeared at the passage entrance. It was the Tyrant! Fang Heng jumped down from the Tyrant’s back and came in front of everyone. “Fang Heng? You’re back!” Seeing that it was the Tyrant that Fang Heng controlled, Hao Zhou was obviously relieved and motioned for everyone to put away their weapons. “How’s the situation at Krontgen Company?” “It’s been resolved for now. The defense of the Krontgen Company’s shelter is too weak. It’s not strong enough.” Fang Heng’s tone was disdainful. “But they escaped pretty quickly. Before I could even flatten them all, they drove off with their truck loaded with materials.” “I left a Tyrant there to continue dismantling the shelter. It’s not a big problem.” D*mn, how long had it been? In less than an hour, he had scared the players of the Krontgen Company away? Having seen the strength of Fang Heng’s Lickers, Hao Zhou could roughly imagine the scene of Fang Heng’s Tyrants attacking the Krontgen Company’s shelter. Fortunately, Fang Heng was not their enemy. Fang Heng shook his head and said, “Sigh, I thought they could hold on for a while longer.” Kun Ba and Kun Ta looked at each other again. Why did Fang Heng’s tone sound like he was a little disappointed? Fang Heng walked forward and his gaze focused on the large sculpture that everyone was moving “Let’s not talk about them. What about you guys? How’s the mission?” “We’ve found it. Here, the Heart of the Apocalypse. This is it.” Kun Ta patted the large sculpture beside him as he spoke. “I just didn’t expect it to be so heavy.” Kun Ba added, “There are still many sculptures in the vault. They’re all big things. Just moving out the Heart of the Apocalypse is already difficult enough. It’s going to be very difficult to overcome the mission difficulty.” Fang Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at the interior of the vault behind everyone. There were sculptures of all sizes piled up inside the entire vault. After thinking for a moment, Fang Heng raised his head and said, “Alright, leave this to me first. You guys go to the first and second floor. The artworks there are relatively small. Think of a way to move all the artworks to the entrance. At that time, we’ll pack them up and bring them back to the apocalypse camp to hand in our mission.” “You? Alone?” Kun Ba blinked his eyes in surprise and looked at Fang Heng in puzzlement. “This thing is very heavy.” “Heavy? It’s no big deal. Come, I’ll show you guys something.” As Fang Heng spoke, he turned to the side and took two steps to the side, pointing his chin at the Tyrant behind him. The Tyrant accepted Fang Heng’s command and strode forward. It walked to the front of the sculpture and tried to lift the entire sculpture. The sculpture shook slightly. It couldn’t move it!! “Eh, so heavy?” Fang Heng was a little surprised as well. He controlled the other Tyrant to come up and help. The two Tyrants exerted their strength on both sides at the same time and lifted the entire sculpture up into the air. Good heavens… He forcefully turned the Tyrants into porters. Kun Ba swallowed his saliva. But he was still a little worried. “Fang Heng, letting the two of them carry… is it really stable?” The Tyrants were undoubtedly very strong, but it seemed that they were strained. If they were careless and fell midway, the mission would be over. “Don’t worry, they are very stable.” Fang Heng was very confident. “Look.” “Chi Chi Chi…” Fine vines quickly grew out of the Tyrant’s body. The vines firmly fixed the statue in the middle of the two Tyrant’s bodies. “It’s much more stable, isn’t it?” Hao Zhou’s eyes revealed a look of surprise. Vines? They looked a little familiar. This vine seemed to be… The vine parasite that he had seen in Hope Town back then? Hao Zhou was deep in thought, and he had some understanding in his heart. The Tyrant in front of him was the same as the Licker outside, both had been modified! They were much more powerful than ordinary zombies! Seeing that Fang Heng’s Tyrant had easily finished moving the items, the team’s morale soared. The two brothers, Kun Ba and Kun Ta nodded in unison. “Fang Heng, I’ll have to trouble you with the large sculptures in the vault. Let’s split up.” “No problem.” Hao Zhou knew that they had really found the right person for this mission! If it was anyone else, without the help of the Tyrant form, they would not have been able to complete the mission so easily! With Fang Heng’s help, they were able to make the most of their time and think of a way to move more exhibits back and increase the mission reward as much as possible! They were full of energy! Watching Hao Zhou’s player team and the Tyrants carrying the large sculptures, Fang Heng turned his head and looked at the vault again. Inside the vault, there were more than a hundred sculptures of all sizes, with the large sculptures accounting for more than half of them. In addition to the exhibits in the exhibition halls on the first, second and third floor… Greed! Faced with such a good opportunity, he had to be greedy to death! In addition to the promotion quota, the mission reward this time also included a skill book! The higher the completion rate of the mission, the better the skill book rewarded!
