In front of them, thick black smoke came out of the cave of Scavenger Army headquarters. The entire Scavenger Army was in a mess.
Osborne drove the truck into the cave.
When it reached the deep end, Fang Heng immediately jumped out of the truck.
“What’s going on?”
Seeing Fang Heng, a Scavenger Army elite instantly reported, “Commander Fang, the headquarters is under an unknown attack! Commander Ni Shengtao is leading some people to investigate thoroughly!”
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched slightly, and a feeling of extreme unease rose in his heart.
Something terrible was going to happen!
Could it be that Federation had made another move? In the past, Federation had used a similar tactic in District 5, and he was one of the executors back then.
At this moment, Fang Heng was most concerned about Tyrant form cultivation pod on the sixth underground floor. He hurriedly asked, “What about the laboratory on the sixth underground floor? Is it fine?”
The Scavenger Army elite was obviously stunned.
He then said, “The damage is still under investigation.”
“Take me there for a look.”
As Fang Heng spoke, he strode toward the inner part of the army base.
Just as they reached the entrance, Ni Shengtao rushed out of the passage with a group of Scavenger Army elites followed.
As he saw Fang Heng, Ni Shengtao’s eyes narrowed.
“Commander Fang.”
Ni Shengtao stopped and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Cook is dead.”
Fang Heng’s pupils constricted as he heard this news.
“Cook is dead?
Someone has snuck into my place?” he thought to himself.
The next second, a game notice appeared in front of Fang Heng.
“Hint: Commander of Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, is dead.”
“Hint: Morale of Scavenger Army is reduced by 50%. All attributes of every member are reduced by 10%.”
…
Outside Edge Creek Town.
Cheng Ya and the other two were carrying the log back to Scavenger Army’s strongholds.
These few days, they had been doing high-intensity log-carrying jobs under Roche’s orders every day.
Wei Chun’s back ached from fatigue.
He had once thought that it was Fang Heng who played tricks on them.
However, their superiors ordered them to continue hiding in Scavenger Army to gather intelligence.
Just a few seconds ago, a series of sudden game hints made the three of them freeze on the spot.
They looked at each other.
What the h*ll? Commander Cook Barn was dead?
Federation had won? And Scavenger Army could be disbanded?
They could stop carrying the log?
A few seconds later, Cheng Ya was the first to come back to her senses. “You guys stay here. I’ll go back and report now.”
“Yes!”
At the headquarter of Federation District 7.
Kou Huai sat in front of his desk, his fingers constantly tapping on the desk.
Knock, knock!
After knocking on the door, a Federation soldier pushed the door open and entered.
“Commander, we’ve just received news that the assassination was successful. It’s confirmed that Cook Barn is dead. An elite player has failed to escape during the mission and died.”
“In addition, we’ve already collected a portion of the body tissues of Cook Barn and immediately submitted them to Dark Knights to complete the mission.”
The overall situation was set!
Hearing this, Kou Huai slowly stood up and spat out a word.
“Good!”
Kou Huai looked at the soldier who reported, “Tell everyone that the members of Scavenger Army will be in a crazy state for some time. So we must defend at all costs these days!”
“Yes, sir!”
…
Scavenger Army headquarter.
The passage was silent.
Cook Barn was dead?
Osborne’s mind was blank, and his face was ashen.
He had screwed up! It was all over!
He knew well that Cook Barn was the only one knowing how to concoct the divine potion in the entire Scavenger Army.
All the members who had taken the divine potion would die once they lost it!
Including him, 98% of the members of Scavenger Army had taken the divine potion.
What should he do? Was there any way to fix it?
With many thoughts in his mind, Osborne suddenly thought of something.
He suddenly turned his head and stared at Fang Heng at the side.
Fang Heng!!!
He was an extremely remarkable pharmacist.
He had once developed a modified warlord potion.
This meant that his ability in pharmaceutics had even surpassed cook Barn!
Right now, Fang Heng was the only person who could save all their lives.
Osborne slowly turned his head, looked at Ni Shengtao, and winked to ask for his opinion.
At this moment, Fang Heng also fell into silence.
A game hint flashed across his vision.
“Hint: Your mission to find the mysterious box has failed.”
F*ck you! Federation!
Fang Heng clenched his fists tightly, cursing in his heart.
This was the second time he had experienced a failure of the mission in the game.
He had been defeated by Federation twice.
The main storyline he had painstakingly come into contact with was cut off by Federation again!
Fang Heng took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.
Wait a minute.
Since Cook Barn had died, what would happen to Scavenger Army?
Disband right away?
“The contribution points I’ve been accumulating for such a long time will all be gone?
No!”
Fang Heng began to ponder. He should take advantage of the chaos after Cook’s death to get more benefits while the group was leaderless.
At least, he had to think of a way to steal Tyrant form modification pod in the laboratory on the underground eighth floor.
In a short while, Fang Heng had already decided on his next action plan.
He would take advantage of the chaos to reap benefits.
Fang Heng had just raised his head and was about to say something when he noticed Ni Shengtao and Osborne quickly exchanging glances.
Then, the two of them stared at him with a decisive gaze.
What happened?
Fang Heng thought to himself, “Why are they looking at me like this?
Could it be that they had seen through my plan?”
Then, Ni Shengtao and Osborne seemed to have made a decision and nodded at the same time.
Osborne took a step forward and knelt down on one knee.
“Commander Fang Heng, we have no leader since Commander Cook has died. I propose that you become the new leader of Scavenger Army!”
What the h*ll?!
Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.
What Osborne did also exceeded the expectations of all the other members of Scavenger army.
As the Scavenger Army NPCs were still in shock, Ni Shengtao walked to Osborne’s side and half-knelt like him.
“Commander Fang Heng, Scavenger Army is about to be destroyed. I sincerely advise you to be our leader. I hope you can take the responsibility of leading Scavenger Army!”
Hearing that, the Scavenger Army elites also came back to their senses. They all knelt on one knee and said in unison, “Commander Fang Heng, please be our leader!”
Fang Heng widened his mouth.
Then, a line of information immediately appeared before his vision.
“Hint: Commander of Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, has died. Player Fang Heng’s current honor level is 23 as Deputy Commander. It met the advancement requirements.”
“Hint: Player’s current reputation points in Scavenger army have met the advancement requirements.”
“Hint: More than half of the NPCs at the commander level and above in Scavenger Army have reached trust level and above in friendship. It met the advancement requirements.”
“Hint: Osborne and Ni Shengtao have both recommended you as the new leader of Scavenger Army. It met the advancement requirements.”
“Hint: Dear player, you can now choose to take over the commander position of Scavenger Army. Do you agree?”
“Hint: If you do, you will trigger the subsequent related missions. If you refuse, you can receive the main storyline contribution points as the reward and Dark Knights’ friendship.”
“Hint: Your choice will affect the progress of the main storyline. Please choose carefully.”
