What was that?

Asniper rifle?!

Seeing the black muzzle poking out from the sentry tower, Dai Zhe felt an extremely strong sense of unease.

“Bang! Bang Bang!!”

Before he could say a word, Dai Zhe’s vision went black.

After a few gunshots, Dai Zhe and the remaining players who had come all the way here were all shot in the head.

“Tsk! Tras.h.!.+ Who do you think you are? I’ll kill you every time I see you!”

Liao Bufan spat disdainfully.

Ever since the shelter had recruited a new batch of players, Liao Bufan had temporarily become the prison’s head of security and logistics supervisor.

He faithfully carried out Fang Heng’s prison strategy.

‘When the prison guards encountered hostile people, once they started fighting, they would try to kill all of them, leaving no one alive to avoid future trouble.

“They dare to attack and clamour with such little strength. I admire their courage.”

Looking at the circle of players corpses with their heads blown off outside, Liao Bufan curled his lips in disdain.

He then looked at the top-tier NPCs beside him with some envy.

It would be great if he could also use a sniper rifle…

Prison No. 3, secret research room on the second bas.e.m.e.nt.

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

Eh? There seemed to be gunshots outside?

“Fang Heng, you didn’t lie to me, but unfortunately, a large part of the research equipment here is severely damaged.”

[Hint: Your friends.h.i.+p with Qiu Yaokang has greatly increased. ]

[Hint: Qiu Yaokang’s loyalty has increased to 93.]

Qiu Yaokang bent down.

He focused his attention on the Licker in the cultivation pod, his eyes filled with excitement.

Li Bo did not dare to enter the room. He was watching the scene in the next room through the surveillance camera.

Fang Heng was silent for a moment as he read the message in the game log.

What a good guy.

He had worked so hard to help Qiu Yaokang do so many things in the past, but his favorability had only increased by a small margin. Now that he gave him a lab that he picked up, his favorability actually increased by a large margin?

While observing the cultivation pod, Qiu Yaokang asked, “Do you want me to continue studying the evolution and transformation of Lickers?”

Fang Heng nodded and pointed at the two zombie clones standing by the side.

“Yes, see if you can find a way to transform them into Lickers.”

Qiu Yaokang wasn’t afraid of zombies at all.

He stood up and walked closer to Fang Heng’s zombie clones to examine them carefully.

Not long after, he even started touching the zombie clone’s body.

Then, Qiu Yaokang fell into deep thought.

‘When he was escorting Qiu Yaokang back to the prison, Fang Heng had already told him about his talent ability, including how the zombie clone was transformed into a vine zombie.

Qiu Yaokang thought for at least 10 minutes.

“Theoretically, it’s possible,” he said

‘It’s possible!’

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.

However, Qiu Yaokang’s words poured a bucket of cold water on him.

“But it will take a long time. You have to make up your mind that you won’t have any breakthrough in one or two years.”

“One or two years without any breakthrough? That long?”

“What else? There are only two researchers here, Li Bo and me.”

Qiu Yaokang’s face was cold. He looked up at the monitor in the corner and started to complain.

“No, to be precise, I’m the only researcher.”

“Li Bo’s guts can’t even be compared to the pet cat of my neighbour next door. He can’t even be considered as a qualified a.s.sistant. I will have to handle everything personally.”

“It’s already good enough for such a difficult research to have a breakthrough in one to two years.”

Li Bo was a person who was at Level S…

He was not qualified to be an a.s.sistant? It couldn’t be to that extent…

Fang Heng raised his head and glanced at the camera in the corner.

He felt that Li Bo had been badly hacked this time.

Fortunately, the microphone switch wasn’t turned on, so Li Bo couldn’t hear it.

“That time when I first encountered the corpse vine, why did the zombie clone evolve into a vine zombie so quickly?”

Fang Heng was puzzled. He suggested, “With the same idea, can we inject the T-virus directly into the zombie clone?”

“No! There are three reasons.”

Qiu Yaokang turned around.

“First, luck.”

“The target of the corpse vine is an inanimate dead body, and your zombie clone is also a dead body. That time, you were lucky.”

“But, it’s different this time. The Licker was evolved from a living body, so the two are very different.”

Fang Heng said, “Eh…”

“Secondly, the corpse vine you found in the secret research room is the product of Meteorite Company’s special modification.”

“With Meteorite Company’s super high-level research ability and three years of careful research and cultivation, the modified corpse vine is now suitable to act as a parasite.”

Qiu Yaokang stretched out a finger as he spoke, his face full of confidence.

“If you can provide me with the same resources as the Meteorite Company, I only need a month to develop a specific research plan, and I’ll officially enter the live clinical experiment within five weeks.”

“The question is, can you do it? Can you give me so many resources?”

“Tsk… the boss is pretending again…”

Fang Heng smiled bitterly in his heart.

He had no choice. He really couldn’t do it.

Scientists in the real world were unable to a.s.sist in research in the game.

This was the setting of the King of G.o.ds’ game.

In the Zombie Apocalypse, it was not easy to find a living NPC, and it was even more difficult to recruit a scientist.

“The third point is also the biggest dilemma we have encountered so far.”

“There’s another dilemma?”

“Yes, that’s very strange. I just did a check, and I didn’t find any modified T-virus for the Lickers’ live experiments.”

“What? No modified T-virus?”

Fang Heng frowned and paused.

He immediately pressed the microphone switch on the experiment table.

“Li Bo, can you find the T-virus in the laboratory?”

“Yes, Dr Qiu has also communicated with me about this matter. I also feel that this matter is very strange.”

Li Bo’s voice was transmitted through the loudspeaker in the corner of the laboratory.

“remember that a few days before the outbreak of the biochemical crisis incident, there was a batch of modified T-virus for living experiments sent to the laboratory. At that time, it was signed by my colleague. Moreover, we always have a backup of the modified virus.”

“But now, we can’t find it even if we want to. We can’t find the backup either.”

“There’s something strange…”

Fang Heng whispered and lowered his head to think.

Combined with the intelligence he received from the Dark Knights not long ago, it seemed that the outbreak of the biochemical virus was created by the Meteorite Company?

The Meteorite Company did not want the modified T-virus used to study Lickers to leak out, so they had already recalled the modified T-virus before creating the leakage of the biochemical virus?

Qiu Yaokang turned around and looked at Fang Heng seriously.

“So, Fang Heng, do you still want to continue your research?”

Before he could answer, Fang Heng saw rows of game notifications on his retina.
