Chapter 72: Fatal Flaw

Kun Ba frowned and said in a deep voice, “Isn’t it too dangerous to anger Alex by force? Alex is surrounded by a large number of small zombies. At that time, we have to take into account the timing of the explosion. It’s extremely dangerous.”

“You’re right. This is the most dangerous part of the plan, so we need your help. Sister Li’s perception barrier can be of great help.”

Sister Li nodded. “There’s no problem with this part of mine.”

Fang Heng looked at Hao Zhou, who had been deep in thought.

“What about the explosive part?”

Hao Zhou nodded and said, “The problem with the explosive part is the explosives. According to what you said, we need at least eight sets of small explosives.”

“I’ve already applied to the federation for this. The explosives and gasoline for the ignition are already prepared. We’ll be able to get them by dawn today.”

Everyone’s minds became active as they thought about the possibilities.

It seemed like they could really kill Alex according to Fang Heng’s plan.

“Alright, Fang Heng, Your plan has indeed exceeded my expectations.”

Hao Zhou sighed in his heart, shook his head and said, “But your plan has a fatal flaw.”

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“Flaw?”

“Yes, the problem lies in the sewers.”

Hao Zhou continued, “When I accepted Old Black’s mission, I also considered invading Hope Town through the sewers, but later I realized that it was impossible.”

Kun Ta asked first, “Why?”

“Because the sewers and the outside are more dangerous. The sewers are also filled with zombies, including many Tier 1 pus zombies.”

“There’s also the smell of the sewers”

“The stench that pervades the sewers will cause players to sustain negative statuses”

“Ordinary players are simply unable to stay in the sewers for more than 10 minutes.”

Hao Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“Previously, I’ve asked a friend for an assessment. Invading Hope Town from the sewers is much more difficult than invading from the surface.”

The Kun brothers’ hearts sank when they heard that.

Fang Heng patted Hao Zhou on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry about the sewer. I’ve taken care of it.”

What?

Hao Zhou turned his head and looked at Fang Heng in surprise as if he didn’t hear him.

“What did you say? It’s taken care of?”

“Yes, I’ve completely cleaned the sewer. I’ll bring you to take a look at the scene later. You’ll know when the time comes.”

Hao Zhou opened his mouth in surprise.

He wanted to ask Fang Heng how he did it, but he stopped himself.

This was Fang Heng’s secret. If he rashly asked about it, not only would he not get an answer, but he would also make Fang Heng unhappy.

“Okay, okay…”

Kun Ba was excited. “So, we have no problem?”

“If the sewer is safe…”

Hao Zhou was still doubtful.

He really couldn’t figure out how Fang Heng could solve the zombie crowd in the sewer.

But judging from Fang Heng’s confident look, he didn’t seem to be lying.

Hao Zhou said, “I have no problem with the general plan for the time being.”

“Okay! Let’s continue to perfect the details and do our jobs.”

The group spent another two hours thoroughly revising the plan over and over again.

There was at least a 70% success rate!

Two hours later, Fang Heng had drawn up all the details of the plan. He rubbed his neck and handed a small jar of honey to Hao Zhou.

“Come, follow me to the sewer. I’ll take you to observe the terrain.”

“Now?”

“Yes, drink this. Also, put this on…”

Fang Heng wore a black face mask with an extremely ugly design on his face and handed one to Haozhou.

Item: Small jar of honey.

Type: Food.

Description: A gift from nature. After eating the honey, it can restore satiety, relieve thirst and reduce the risk of infection to a certain extent in a short period.

Item: A fragrant black wet face mask.

Type: Costume.

Description: Make a rough face mask, soaked in the liquid mixed with perfume. Hmm… if you don’t find it ugly, you can try it on.

…

The next day, the sun rose.

Fang Heng brought Hao Zhou back to the federation resource point warehouse.

“How is it?”

Kun Ba and the others were burning with anxiety, and they quickly surrounded him.

Hao Zhou was convinced this time.

He saw with his own eyes that the city’s underground sewer was clean, and not even the shadow of a zombie could be seen!

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a thing had happened.

Only God knew how Fang Heng, this little monster, had done it!

He did not want to think about it anymore!

No matter what, the clean sewer meant that their plan could be carried out!

Facing the expectant gazes of the two brothers, Hao Zhou nodded his head.

A smile appeared on his face.

“I’ve verified it with my own eyes. There are no problems with the sewers or the explosion.”

“Alright!!”

Kun Ba clenched his fists in excitement, and a faint trace of joy flashed across Sister Li’s eyes.

Hao Zhou had always been a calm person when it came to doing things.

When he said there were no problems, he meant it.

With his words, the success rate of this plan would be guaranteed.

They were now certain that Fang Heng could achieve the first-kill of Alex!

Everything was going according to plan, except for the last item, the explosives.

“Let’s go and ask the federation for the explosives.”

Fang Heng brought Hao Zhou and the others to the counter.

“Hello, I’m Fang Heng from Phoenix Sound Gaming Company. I’m here to collect the equipment and materials.”

“Please wait a moment.”

The young lady behind the counter placed twelve small explosive packs and five bottles of flamethrower fuel on the counter.

“According to the agreement, these are the small explosive packs and flamethrower fuel that you requested. Please sign here to receive them.”

Fang Heng signed the receipt and was about to reach out to take it.

“Wait a moment.”

A hand was placed in front of Fang Heng.

“Hello, Mr Fang Heng. I am the person in charge of the federation’s external recruitment mission, Li Weiyu.”

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in the uniform of a federal officer in front of him.

“Is there a problem?”

“I understand that your Phoenix Sound Gaming Company has exchanged for a large number of small explosive packs.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I want to remind you that if you want to use explosives to directly blow up Alex… then you’d better give up on this plan.”

“Thank you for your kindness. I understand your intentions but we have a plan.”

Li Weiyu frowned and blocked Fang Heng’s way.

He didn’t have a good feeling about this young man.

Fang Heng asked, “Is there anything else? We don’t have a lot of time.”

“The large number of explosives that you exchanged might anger Alex. What’s worse, the explosion will cause a huge sound wave that will cause a zombie crowd in Hope Town.”

“Yeah, so?”

“For safety reasons, we will send people to participate in this mission and assess the condition of the mutated zombie Alex throughout the mission.”

“If we think that your operation can’t kill Alex and might cause a larger-scale zombie riot, we will immediately terminate this mission.”

Li Weiyu’s words made Sister Li and the others feel very unhappy.

Kun Ta muttered softly, “Tsk, terminate this mission, who does he think he is?”

For mercenaries, the most annoying thing when they were carrying out a mission was having a self-righteous boss bossing them around.

However, when Fang Heng heard this, not only did he not feel offended, but his eyes lit up instead.

His originally furrowed brows relaxed.

Federation elites!

Participating in the entire operation?

Good heavens! Wasn’t this the toolman that was given to him for free!?
