Fang Heng opened the game log. The vine zombie team had successfully entered the ventilation duct and was heading to the storage room on the second floor. Fang Heng glanced at Su Jincheng, who was a little anxious. Su Jincheng had been worried about the Licker in the ventilation duct. He was barely holding his uneasiness in. Seeing that, Fang Heng immediately controlled the zombie team hidden in the ventilation duct to gather at the control center hall in the third basement. “Alert! Alert! Unknown creature has been detected! ” Soon, another ear-piercing alarm sounded in the main control room. Su Jincheng’s heart was in his throat. He stood up from his seat with a whoosh. “What’s going on? ! ” “Lickersa! A large number of Lickers detected! ” The researcher’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked panicked. On the surveillance monitors, more than ten Lickers crawled out of the broken ventilation duct! Earlier, there were only two Lickers, and they had already caused so much trouble. “Not good! They are coming toward our main control room! ” “Quick! Gather all of the teams! ” Su Jincheng immediately ordered. What was bound to come had come! It had been three hours since anything had happened. Su Jincheng was still trying to convince himself that what had just happened was just an accident. Who knew that as soon as he relaxed, a large number of Lickers appeared. “Stop them! We must not let them destroy the teleportation passage! ” Fang Heng turned to look at Su Jincheng and reminded him calmly, “Mr. Su, I suggest that you don’t let the Lickers break into the main control room. From the surveillance footage just now, after the Lickers self-destruct, their highly corrosive blood spews over a wide range. A slight corrosion could cause damage to the stabilizer and affect the normal operation of the teleportation passage. ” “D*mn it! Parason, come with me! ” Su Jincheng clearly realized how tricky the situation was. He quickly counted his men and personally led them to guard the passage entrance. Parason was scared to death, but he still followed the team out to check the situation. Instantly, there were only five Night Owl players and three NPC researcher survivors left in the main control room. The researchers were busy in front of the command station while the five Night Owl players were guarding the entrance of the main control room. However, their minds were mostly focused on the big screen in the control room. The big screen was playing the surveillance footage of the various passages in the third basement. “There’s a fluctuation in the stabilizer’s energy. You guys, quickly go and check the operation of the stabilizer! ” Fang Heng found a random excuse to send the three NPC researcher survivors away. “Yes! ” He then walked to the main control platform. Clearing his throat, Fang Heng pressed the loudspeaker button for the sixth basement. “Warning! Lickers detected! Attention, large numbers of Lickers have been detected approaching the sixth basement. Estimated arrival in five minutes. Please protect and help evacuate the researchers to the research personnel lounge in the fifth basement. The ventilation duct on the fifth basement has been cleaned and reinforced. Before receiving new orders, please protect the research personnel and guard the passage to the fifth basement. ” Fang Heng continued, “I repeat! Warning! Lickers detected… ” In the sixth basement, four Night Owl organization players who were standing guard heard the warning from the loudspeaker and immediately felt a chill run down their spines. They had limited manpower, to begin with. Not long ago, two of them were injured, and then four more were transferred away. Currently, only they, the last four players, were left to guard the passage on the sixth basement. They were alone, yet they were about to engage a large number of Lickers. How could they survive? Sacrificing for their ideals was one thing, but throwing their lives away for nothing was another. Hearing sounds coming from the ceiling, the few of them subconsciously raised their heads. Something was climbing in the ventilation duct above the ceiling! It was obviously a Licker! “Hurry up! Take the research personnel to the fifth basement! ” “Let’s go! ” “Hurry up and retreat! ” The Night Owl players never suspected that it could be a false order. They immediately used the magnetic card to open the door of the secret laboratory and evacuate the research personnel. Through the surveillance monitors, Fang Heng had been monitoring the sixth basement players’ every move. Looking at the players quickly retreating, Fang Heng could not help but exclaim in awe. “Heh, they retreated quite quickly. ” Upon seeing that the Night Owl players had led the research personnel and evacuated from the sixth basement, Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and immediately entered a string of commands into the command station. Meanwhile, the four Night Owl players had just managed to escape from the sixth basement to the fifth basement alongside the research personnel. Before they could catch their breaths, they heard a loud sound from the passage entrance to the fifth basement. Turning back, they saw that the iron gate at the end of the passage was closed. What happened? Why was the iron gate of the passage closed? The Night Owl players looked at each other in dismay, and the remaining NPC researchers also became nervous. A player thought of something. She looked at the surveillance camera facing everyone and said, “Don’t be nervous. The iron gate was probably closed to protect us, to prevent the Lickers from breaking in from the sixth basement. We’ll just wait here for support. ” The players felt that it made sense. However, in the next second, they heard a familiar shuffling sound. “A licker? ! ” they thought unanimously. The sound, akin to a life-threatening curse, made the faces of the players change again. They raised their guns and aimed in the direction of the sound. Bang! Bang! Bang! The net of the ventilation duct in the corner was instantly broken. A few red figures darted out from the opening of the duct. Bang! Bang! Bang! The reaction speed of the Night Owl organization’s players was much faster than that of ordinary players! Almost instantly, four players opened fire at the same time. Hum… They threw a flashbang forward. Bang! Bang! Bang! The four players raised their submachine guns and kept firing at the Lickers. However, there were too many Lickers! The Lickers kept coming out from the passage entrance. The Night Owl players realized in despair that even if they used flashbangs, their damage output was not enough to kill the Lickers! They wanted to escape, but their only escape route, the iron gate, was closed. It was over. For a moment, all the players felt despair rising in their hearts. After recovering their senses, the Lickers pounced at the players again. … Three minutes later, the fifth basement fell into silence once again. “Mr. Fang Shuo, we’ve checked all aspects of the stabilizer. There’s no problem! ” Without even turning his head, Fang Heng answered, “No! The data is still wrong! Check it again! Check it carefully! ” “Yes! ” Fang Heng continued to control the zombie team in the fifth basement to drag the corpses into the ventilation duct and clean up the crime scene. “Okay, I’ve found the problem. Come back, all of you. ” The NPC researchers didn’t know what was going on. They simply listened to Fang Heng’s command and walked back one by one, continuing to operate the main control platform. No one realized what had happened in the short ten minutes. Finally, Fang Heng raised his head and glanced at the few Night Owl players in the main control room. He then quietly left the main control room.
