Soon, the number of spider zombies began to decrease significantly.
The pressure on Fang Heng and Liao Bufan also gradually lessened.
“Liao Bufan, how much fuel do we have left?”
Liao Bufan reached out his hand to wipe away the large beads of sweat that were dripping down his forehead.
“9.3%.”
Fang Heng nodded.
That was enough.
Three-quarters of this group of spider zombies had died, so they were no longer a threat.
While Fang Heng was controlling the switch of the flamethrower, he was also taking a peek at the game log.
The game log had already been refreshed.
[Hint: Player has successfully killed the spider zombie. Player has obtained 23 survival points.]
[Hint: Player has successfully killed the spider zombie. Player has obtained 33 survival points.]
[Hint: Player has obtained a complete evolution crystal*1.]
[Hint: Player has successfully killed the spider zombie. Player has obtained 33 survival points.] …
Among the mutated zombies, spider zombies were considered to be the higher-level type.
Therefore, the probability of them dropping complete evolution crystals was higher.
Fang Heng took a quick glance and saw that there were at least five or six of them.
It was enough for him to level up to Level 7!
Five minutes later, the last spider zombie completely lost its breath under the burning flames.
Coincidentally, the tank of fuel was used up.
The entire passageway was filled with charred corpses.
Under the corpses, there were still red specks on the ground, emitting a bloody glow.
These were the evolution crystals that the spider zombies had dropped after they died.
Fang Heng stretched out his hand.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
The evolution crystals that were left on the ground flew into Fang Heng’s hand one by one.
[Hint: You have obtained the complete evolution crystal*15.]
Fang Heng turned his head to look at Liao Bufan.
“Let’s go out first.”
While the wooden frames at the entrance of the passage were still burning and the flame barrier still had a protective effect, Fang Heng and Liao Bufan quickly exited the passageway.
…
Outside the passageway.
Fang Heng locked the three iron doors tightly.
Liao Bufan’s short sleeve was already soaked completely in sweat.
He had been under tremendous psychological pressure during the battle just now.
Not to mention that the high temperature caused by the flames made the entire basement as unbearable as a furnace.
It was so hot!
Liao Bufan and Fang Heng looked as if they had just been lifted from the waters.
Liao Bufan leaned against the wall and sat down limply.
He felt that he had just visited the gates of Hell not long ago.
Fortunately, he was lucky.
“Sigh!”
Liao Bufan let out a long sigh.
He seemed to be moved by something.
“Boss, you owe me a pay rise!”
After Fang Heng locked the three doors firmly, he sat down beside Liao Bufan.
At this time, he could finally relax and rest.
“You have a point.”
Fang Heng said as he took out the evolution crystal fragments from his backpack. He opened his palm and handed them to Liao Bufan.
“Is this enough?”
“Crystal fragments? So many?”
Liao Bufan’s eyes lit up when he saw these shiny evolution crystal fragments.
“Enough, enough, boss is generous!”
Liao Bufan, who was originally dejected, immediately put on a smiling face.
He grabbed the evolution crystal fragments from Fang Heng and crushed them in his hand.
Liao Bufan had reached Level 4.
Fang Heng sat on the ground and started to read the game log. He counted the profits from cleaning the prison’s basement.
He killed 57 spider zombies and obtained 17 complete evolution crystals.
“Not bad!”
Fang Heng held the evolution crystals in his hand.
“Bang!”
A thick red aura burst out from his palm and merged into his body.
“Bang! Bang!”
For a moment, the pathway was filled with the sound of crystals shattering.
Liao Bufan was watching Fang Heng absorb the power of the evolution crystals with envy.
“Look at him! He’s starting to level up! With this stance, he was probably about to reach Level 10, right?”
Even though he was envious, Liao Bufan was still very satisfied.
After all, Fang Heng was an exception. Why would he compare himself with him?
Liao Bufan thought to himself that he had already reached Level 4.
At this stage of the game, how many players could reach Level 4?
He was also a top player!
If he hadn’t met Fang Heng, he might still be gnawing on tree roots somewhere.
Liao Bufan thought happily. He took out two cans of beer from his backpack, handed one to Fang Heng and started to drink from his can.
[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 7.]
[Hint: Due to the enhancement of your talent skill-splitting zombie clone, you have gained an additional zombie clone*7.]
After absorbing the power of the evolution crystals, Fang Heng’s level was successfully upgraded to Level 7. He was about a quarter away from Level 8.
The cement floor beside Fang Heng’s feet began to twist.
A red magic array emerged from the ground.
“Chi!”
A greenish-gray arm suddenly reached out from the magic array.
The zombie clones came out from the magic array one by one and stood behind Fang Heng.
There were seven of them in total.
A moment later, the magic array disappeared.
Fang Heng waved his hand and told the zombies to run outside to collect materials.
He would be able to reach Level 8 soon by gaining the remaining quarter of experience points.
If he was lucky enough, he might be able to reach Level 9 today if there were enough spider zombies in the passageway!
Thinking of that, Fang Heng suddenly felt energized.
“Have you rested enough? Are you ready to start the next wave?”
“No way! Boss? I haven’t rested enough yet!”
Liao Bufan took out another can of beer and looked at Fang Heng eagerly.
“Why don’t we rest a little longer?”
…
The next day at noon.
In the basement passageway.
Fang Heng waved his hand and attracted the evolution crystals on the ground to his palm.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The evolution crystals exploded one after another.
The scarlet mist was instantly absorbed by Fang Heng.
[Hint: Your character level has been upgraded to Level 9.]
[Hint: Due to the enhancement of your talent skill-splitting zombie clone, you have gained an additional zombie clone*9.]
Now, after his character level had been upgraded to Level 9, Fang Heng had a total of 45 zombie clones.
Compared to the past two days, his overall strength had almost doubled.
The efficiency of gathering materials had also doubled.
“Whew! The last batch of spiders is finally gone!”
Liao Bufan let out a sigh of relief with his bare arms.
He sat on the ground with a sense of relief.
Beside him were more than ten empty fuel tanks.
Half an hour had passed and no more spider zombies were emerging from the right corner of the corridor.
Including yesterday afternoon and this morning, Fang Heng and Liao Bufan had scrubbed the basement passageway five to six times.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
After a short rest, they loaded new fuel bottles and continued to explore.
Fang Heng held the flamethrower and walked in front.
He carefully walked around the corner and took a few more steps forward.
A fork appeared in front of him.
The fork was divided into a straight path forward and another path to the left.
The straight path ahead was cut off by three lowered iron gates.
Through the gap between the iron railings, Fang Heng looked inside.
Behind the three iron gates seemed to be a staircase leading down.
It seemed that there was a deeper passageway below.
“Why is the basement of this prison so deep?”
Liao Bufan also noticed the staircase and could not help but twitch his lips.
Fang Heng, on the other hand, frowned and whispered, “That’s strange.”
