Chapter 274 - Poached!
Chapter 274 Poached!
“Chi-Chi! Chi!!”
At an abandoned factory outside the city.
Two Lickers were fighting fiercely.
Fang Heng and a few NPCs were standing in the central control room.
Through the surveillance screen, they could observe the tragic situation outside.
Terrifying!
The bloody scene made the NPCs pale.
Fang Heng set up a barbecue grill and sprinkled cumin on the skewers.
(Hint: Your zombie clone-Licker has killed a Licker. You have received 12 survival points. You have received a complete evolution crystal*1. Current mission completion rate: 35%.]
(Hint: You have completed a large skewer of meat. Your cooking skill experience points +1.]
“Don’t worry, the Lickers outside will all be settled soon. Come, come, come, eat the meat My speciality is cooking. It’s very delicious. Everyone, have a taste.”
Fang Heng distributed the skewers to everyone.
(Hint: Your friendship with Jiang Cheng, Song Shishi and Li Wen has increased slightly.]
The room was filled with the aroma of the roasted meat.
However, the scene on the monitor made everyone lose their appetite.
“Thank you.”
Jiang Cheng took the barbecued meat and took a bite.
The aroma of barbecued meat assailed everyone’s nostrils. The texture of the meat was mixed with the mellowness of the oil. The slightly charred skin greatly enhanced the sense of taste and satisfied the taste buds and hungry stomachs.
“Delicious!”
Song Shishi did not expect the barbecued meat to be so fragrant!
After the apocalypse, Jiang Cheng and the other survivors were trapped in the factory. They relied on instant noodles and canned food to fill their stomachs every day but the food was barely sufficient. Where could they be able to eat the food so deliciously as now?
“Thank you, Fang Heng. You saved us. If it weren’t for your Dark Knights, god knows how long we would have been trapped here.”
“What? Dark Knights?”
Fang Heng blinked at the NPCs.
“No, no, no. I think you’re mistaken. I’m here to welcome you on behalf of Paradise Island. If you’re willing, I hope you can join our Paradise Island shelter.”
Jiang Cheng and the other NPCs were stunned. They held the skewers and looked up at Fang Heng, confused.
“Aren’t you from the Dark Knights to bring us back?”
“Of course not. Have you heard of the prison? It has beautiful scenery and abundant materials. There are professional chefs to take care of three meals a day. There is also a special passage leading to an overseas island…”
“I promise to provide you with adequate protection.”
(Hint: Player is evaluating…)
(Hint: Evaluating the attractiveness of your shelter, your friendship with NPCs…]
“But, but…”
Jiang Cheng looked at his two companions and hesitated. “But, Fang Heng, we have agreed to join the Dark Knights…” “Is that so… Sorry, I didn’t know about this beforehand.”
Fang Heng shook his head and looked troubled.
“Alright, then I suggest that you consider it.”
As Fang Heng said that, the two Lickers slowly climbed out of the shadows behind him.
“After all, it’s very dangerous to run to the Dark Knights from here. You might be threatened by zombies halfway…”
Jiang Cheng’s face turned slightly pale. Before he could speak, Song Shishi covered his mouth.
“Mr Fang Heng, Jiang Cheng means that he is willing!”
Li Wen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, “Fang Heng, we are very happy to join your shelter. We hope that under your leadership, we can contribute our greatest strength to the construction of the shelter.”
Jiang Cheng struggled for a moment and silently accepted reality.
(Hint: Jiang Cheng (Speciality: Research; Character evaluation: A-; Loyalty: 63) joins your shelter.]
(Hint: Song Shishi (Speciality: Research; Character evaluation: C+; Loyalty: 87) joins your shelter.]
(Hint: Li Wen (Speciality: Mercenary; Character evaluation: B; Loyalty: 72) joins your shelter.)
(Hint: Your shelter’s research level has increased.]
(Hint: Your shelter’s research efficiency has increased slightly.]
“That’s great! I knew it! We hit it off the moment we met.”
Hahaha! Success!
Fang Heng was overjoyed.
He was simply thrilled to poach others!
After all, it was a game, and Fang Heng did not have any psychological burden when it came to taking advantage of the game’s features.
Of course, it would be best if he could poach Old Black.
Fang Heng was still very vengeful about the main storyline mission.
He roughly looked at the attributes of the NPCs.
Their attributes were not bad. A-level researcher was relatively rare.
Initial loyalty was only 63, which was very low.
Fang Heng was not afraid.
His shelter had many benefits.
As long as he stayed for a few days, the NPC’s loyalty would increase.
He had to trick them back!
Fang Heng checked the situation outside the factory again.
“Most of the Lickers outside have been cleared. I’ll take you back first. I promise that you’ll love the environment there.”
Jiang Cheng sighed. He felt that the meat in his hands was not fragrant anymore.
“Let’s hope so.”
(Hint: Your mission-escort team failed. 300 Dark Knights’ honor points deducted.]
Only 300 points?
300 points for an A-level NPC with two complimentary items?
Hahaha!
He made a profit!!
Fang Heng was in high spirits. He was not sleepy at all.
Under Fang Heng’s escort, Jiang Cheng and the others were brought back to the prison shelter.
The thick city walls and sentry tower gave Jiang Cheng and the others a great shock.
A private shelter?
No, it looked more like a fortress rebuilt after a disaster!
After entering the prison and registering, Jiang Cheng received his personal toiletries materials and a few sets of clothes. He took a comfortable hot bath.
After the apocalypse, this was the first time Jiang Cheng stayed in a quiet single room.
Hot food was already on the table.
For a moment, Jiang Cheng was in a daze.
This living environment was much better than he had expected.
Since he had come, he should just take it in stride.
(Hint: Jiang Cheng’s loyalty has increased to 78. There is still a chance that he will leave your shelter by himself. Please take note…]
Five in the morning, Dongxi District.
Fang Heng spent almost an entire night bringing two batches of NPCs back to the shelter.
The plan was the same.
It was just a lie!
Initial loyalty was not important.
As long as the NPCs were lured back home, their loyalty would quickly increase.
After all, the treatment provided by the prison was very good.
Fang Heng was very confident about this.
He sat in front of a bonfire and checked the status of the zombie team.
The third task on hand was more troublesome. He needed to dig through the construction site that had been buried by the explosion.
There were a few survivors trapped below.
Fang Heng didn’t need to do it himself. A group of zombies were slowly digging with shovels.
As he waited in boredom, a red game hint flashed across his vision.
(Hint: Your apocalypse radio has received an emergency message.]
Eh? A message from the survival radio?
Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.
Strange, the range for the personal survival radio to receive messages was extremely small. This was also Dongxi District, so there shouldn’t be many good friends here.
Who sent this message to him?
