1704 Optimistic
The dozen players beside Fana also put down their binoculars and looked at her. Everything happened too suddenly. They didn’t know what to do next.
Fang Heng had not communicated with them beforehand!
Then what should they do?
Should they go over and help, or should they act according to the original plan?
Would it bring trouble to Fang Heng instead?
“Fana, now we…”
“Go and inform the other guilds to be prepared to move at any time. Don’t act rashly. We’ll follow and see the situation first.”
“Yes, I understand.”
…
At the federal camp, after the fierce battle last night, the camp received manpower reinforcement material resources from the Central Federation during the day, and the defense level was raised again.
The commander of the Federation, Josh, felt that it was still very stable.
Based on the strength of the camp’s defense, even if the strength of the mutated creatures’ attack last night was doubled, he was confident that he could block them!
Now, he was afraid that the enemy would play dirty!
Just like last night, they directly entered their territory!
For this reason, Josh once again strengthened the security in the camp to prevent any suspicious people from entering the inner camp area. The security of the entire inner area of the camp had already reached a strict level!
All personnel will undergo a strict screening to ensure that no spies from Black Castle are allowed to infiltrate.
However, more than ten minutes ago, Outpost No. 6, which was guarded by the Obsidian Guild, suddenly reported that a large number of mutated creatures had been discovered and were attacking them.
When Josh heard the report, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
The attack of the mutated creatures tonight was brought forward?
But why didn’t the other outposts suffer similar attacks?
Josh didn’t have time to ask about the details when he received the news. Soon after, he received the news that Outpost No. 6 had fallen.
Josh did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered the entire camp to be mobilized and enter Level 1 alert mode to prepare for the mutated creatures coming from the west of the camp.
Fang Heng had just entered the federal camp on his motorcycle not long ago.
At this time, the federal camp was not completely closed and was still open to external players.
Of course, non-Federation personnel like Fang Heng were prohibited from entering the tightly guarded inner regions of the Federation. Their activities were limited to the non-important outer regions.
At the pre-arranged Federation mission distribution hall, Fang Heng found Lu Yanlong, who had arrived one step ahead of time.
“Mr. Fang, it’s done. Dodd’s research team has safely returned to the Zombie Apocalypse world.”
When Lu Yanlong saw Fang Heng coming over, he nodded and gestured to him. Then, he walked over and quickly said in a low voice, “The people from the Black Castle also left first. I didn’t ask any further. It seems like they’re preparing to lead the mutated beasts to continue dealing with the Federation tonight.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“It’s nothing. Mr. Fang, are you okay?”
“It’s considered resolved. It’s very strange. The Void Stalkers have a very high hatred for me. I just tried to lure them to Outpost No. 6. The people from the Obsidian Company are guarding there. I finally stopped them for the time being. I think it will give the people from the Obsidian Company a headache for a while.”
Recalling the scene he saw before, Lu Yanlong was still a little scared. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that it’s done.”
Fang Heng asked again, “By the way, do you know about the special magnetic field device of the Federation? I saw that there was a special electromagnetic tower set up outside Outpost No. 6. It seemed to be able to restrain Void Stalkers.”
“Yes, I’ve heard of it. High-energy electromagnetic field activation barrier tower, I think that’s what it’s called. That thing is one of the top technologies of the Federation. It has extremely strong restraining abilities against half-mechanical modified monsters. It’s very powerful. This time, in order to deal with the half-mechanical mutated creatures, the Federation prepared a lot in advance.”
Lu Yanlong was quite familiar with this kind of mechanical thing. He introduced the pros and cons of it, “It’s powerful, but it also has its flaws. The first is the energy consumption. The energy field created by the high-energy electromagnetic barrier consumes a lot of energy. The second is that the effective area is not large enough. They are very effective against a small number of enemies. Once the number of targets increases, the effect will be bad and it will be prone to malfunction.”
“Hmm?”
Fang Heng was stunned, feeling that something was wrong.
“Wait a minute. You mean that this device is only effective against a large number of targets?”
“Yes, the specific effect depends on the number of enemies and the level of the cyborg lifeform. In fact, it is still related to the energy conversion. After the energy field is activated, it will affect the enemy and consume a lot of energy. Once the energy required for conversion is insufficient, the effect of the activated energy field will be greatly reduced.”
Lu Yanlong continued to explain, “Our company has bought this kind of stimulation device before. After activating the magnetic energy force field, it is very effective against ten to twenty mechanical bodies. It can directly paralyze them. When the number reaches dozens, it won’t work. It can only slow down their movement speed. When the number increases to hundreds, it won’t work at all. The barrier tower will go on strike.”
Fang Heng could not help but open his mouth when he heard Lu Yanlong’s words, and his expression turned grave.
If he remembered correctly, the first batch of Void Stalkers that were affected by the high-energy electromagnetic field at the outpost was only a dozen or so.
So…
Fang Heng realized that he had been a little too optimistic just now.
Now that he heard Lu Yanlong’s explanation, that didn’t seem to be the case.
There were a huge number of Void Stalkers.
More than hundreds!
Fang Heng’s most optimistic estimate was at least a few tens of thousands.
With the three high-energy electromagnetic field activation barriers outside the outpost…
Perhaps they couldn’t block all of them?
Alright, assuming that they really couldn’t stop all the monsters, then, would the remaining Void Stalkers continue to lock onto the aggro and continue to chase after him?
This…
No way…
Fang Heng couldn’t help but glance at the west side of the federal camp.
Could it be that they would chase after the Federation’s main camp?
Lu Yanlong saw that Fang Heng’s expression was strange, and he even looked into the distance a few times. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled and asked, “Mr. Fang? What’s wrong? Did you forget something?”
Fang Heng raised his head and said, “Not really. I just suddenly had a bad feeling.”
“Huh?”
Lu Yanlong blinked his eyes, looking baffled.
Fang Heng waved his hand, feeling that it was better not to scare himself.
“Let’s not talk about this first. Can we get a high-energy electromagnetic field to activate the barrier tower?”
“Yes, the Federation doesn’t have strict regulations on equipment like high-energy beam weapons and ammunition. Our company can think of a way to exchange for it, but it will take some time.”
As Lu Yanlong was speaking, a special warning message issued by the Federation sounded from the loudspeaker in the warehouse.
“Warning, the camp has entered Level 1 alert mode!”
