Chapter 281 Stage 2 At the entrance of the art gallery, Hao Zhou and the others had just stuffed a small portion of the valuable paintings into the truck. Kun Ba wiped the sweat off his forehead. “It’s not enough. There are still a lot of sculptures at the entrance of the first floor. We need to make some space for them.” “Okay, we’ll keep a big truck to carry the Heart of the Apocalypse. After we send one batch, we’ll come back and move them a few more times.” Hao Zhou wasn’t greedy. In his opinion, with a big truck, they could probably move it back and forth three or four times. Although they wouldn’t be able to move all of them, they could still move most of them. “I’m afraid only Tyrant can move the Heart of the Apocalypse.” As they were talking, Kun Ba saw something, and his expression became strange. Everyone followed Kun Ba’s gaze. Not far away, Fang Heng brought a group of zombies and walked around from the back parking lot. Behind him, five or six zombies were divided into small teams. They gathered together and used vines to directly wrap around the cart and pull it forward. There were also the Lickers! Their bodies were also tied with hemp ropes. The other ends of the hemp ropes were tied to the front of the cart with pulleys. Kun Ba rubbed his eyes and turned to look at Kun Ta, who looked like he had seen a ghost. “Eh, Brother, is he going to… treat the Lickers as his labour workers?” An hour later. On the highway, the group of Dark Knights returned with a full load, occupying the entire main road. Trucks and helicopters cleared the way in front, and at the back, a zombie team was transporting the carts slowly and moving forward. As the carts were heavy, the team moved very slowly. It was a strange scene. Even now, Hao Zhou’s team still felt like they were in a dream. D*mn it! Two days ago, when they had just received the mission, they had indeed thought of emptying the art gallery. But two days later, their dream came true! They did it! All the artworks in the gallery were taken away in one wave! Kun Ba followed the group of zombies. As he walked, he suddenly couldn’t help but giggle. When he went back, he would be able to complete the mission at least 10 times more! The reward would be at least 10 times more! What level could he reach with this promotion? He was looking forward to it! Fang Heng was also looking forward to it. The reward of a mission like a skill book was very rare. It was not easy to come across a skill book, naturally, he would try his best to find a way to increase the level of the reward! The speed of the zombie team was slow and they spent another two hours transporting the items. When the time limit of the mission was almost over, the military trucks of the Dark Knights slowly drove into the apocalypse merchant camp of Dongxi District. As the zombies could not transport the artwork into the camp, Fang Heng left them outside the camp to wait. Seeing so many trucks driving into the camp, Hubbard, the merchant of the apocalypse camp, was stunned. “Hey! Hubbard!” Fang Heng saw an acquaintance, stuck his head out of the window and waved to greet him. He recognized Hubbard. There was a time when the prison shelter needed a furnace to expand production. Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei used the space tearing device in the shelter to teleport around the world. One by one, they explored the apocalypse camp, selling materials and buying furnaces. At that time, Fang Heng had emptied Hubbard’s shop, so his favorability rating with Hubbard was quite high. “It’s Fang Heng. I was wondering who else can transport materials to my truck by truck.” Seeing the big customer come, Hubbard smiled. He took out a bottle of beer and threw it at Fang Heng. “But I remember telling you last time. Our warehouse is full. We don’t need it for a while…” Hearing the NPC merchant, Hao Zhou and the others looked at Fang Heng from the car window. Didn’t he develop in the prison? How did he know the merchants here? And he seemed to be on familiar terms with them. Hao Zhou was even more curious. He wanted to know what Fang Heng had done to leave such a deep impression on the NPC. e Fang Heng took the beer bottle and also took out a bag of drunkard peanuts from his backpack and threw it at Hubbard. “No, no, you’re wrong. I’m here to complete the mission.” “Mission?” Hubbard glanced at the Dark Knights and Hao Zhou’s group who were moving the sculptures out of the truck. “I got it. It’s that idiot Sandy Nelen.” Hubbard came to a realization and sighed as he spoke. “It’s already so late, and he still can’t forget his art gallery. What nonsense about art being the treasure of human civilization?” “Can’t he understand it? In the current apocalypse outside, the most important thing is to survive!” Hubbard was complaining when a surprised voice sounded from the side. “Oh my god! You’ve done it! It’s done!” “Oh! I can’t believe it!” “You brought all these treasures back!” “Be careful! This painting has been around for 20 years! Be gentle! Be gentle! I beg you!” Fang Heng looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with a head full of white hair shouting in surprise. “Hey! Sandy!” Hubbard and Fang Heng walked forward together. He patted Sandy’s shoulder heavily and said snappily, “You didn’t say that there would be so many things here.” “More? No, it’s too little!” “Hubbard, you have to know that these artworks are the crystallization of our human civilization! They are the marks of our existence in this world, the spiritual civilization…” Hubbard only felt a headache. He stopped Sandy from continuing, “Okay, okay. Then, how much are you willing to spend for these human treasures?” “Money?!” Sandy felt that he had been greatly insulted. With a red face, he approached Hubbard aggressively. “This is art! Hubbard! It’s art! Don’t use your dirty money to measure art!” Hubbard spread his hands and looked helpless. “Sandy, I understand your art, but this is a shelter built for survival. I can’t put your things away. You need to find another place for your art.” “You, you know nothing!!!” Because he was too agitated, Sandy was trembling all over. “These are treasures! You people don’t know what’s good for you! You will regret it!” Sandy turned his head angrily and looked at Hao Zhou and the other players. “Hao Zhou! Did you hear what they said? These people don’t know what art is! I don’t want to stay here anymore! We will leave now!” (Hint: Due to your outstanding completion of the mission to find the Heart of the Apocalypse, follow-up mission-the apocalypse artist has been triggered.) Mission name: Apocalypse artist (Team). Mission description: You have returned a large number of artworks from the art gallery in Yin City, but the apocalypse merchant camp cannot accommodate that many artworks. Mission requirements: Please help find a home for Sandy’s artworks (please protect Sandy and his artworks in the meantime). Mission difficulty: SSS. Mission time limit: 10 days. Additional description: As time goes by, the value (quality) of the artwork that lacks maintenance will gradually decrease. (The decrease in the value of the artwork will reduce the completion rate of the mission). (Hint: This mission is a follow-up mission of Tier 2. After the mission is completed, it will be calculated together with the reward of Tier 1. Upon completion, the reward for Tier 1 will be greatly increased.] (Hint: If the damage to the Tier 2 artwork is serious, it may cause the first Tier 1 mission reward to be reduced.] (Hint: If Sandy dies during the mission, the mission will fail by default. The Tier 1 mission reward will also be deemed as unobtainable.] (Hint: You can also directly give up the follow-up mission and receive the mission reward of this tier.]
