Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio contemporary romance
Fang Heng temporarily placed the flamethrower on the ground and asked, “Are you ready?”
Liao Bufan gave Fang Heng a thumbs-up.
“Yes!”
Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to leave the underground passageway.
He carefully walked five steps into the passageway and took out a small stone from his backpack.
“Sshhh!”
Fang Heng threw the stone toward the end of the passageway.
“Pa! Dadadada...”
The stone hit the ground and made a series of sounds.
One second, two seconds...
“Crack...crack...”
Three seconds later, the sound of something rubbing against the wall came from inside the passageway.
Fang Heng turned around and ran.
He grabbed the flamethrower on the ground and placed it on his shoulder. He turned around and aimed the flamethrower at the front of the passageway.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
The sound approached in an instant.
A drop of cold sweat dripped down Liao Bufan’s face as he stared at the entrance of the passageway.
“D*mn it! How did this create such a big commotion? How many spider zombies are there in this passageway?” he thought nervously to himself.
Liao Bufan’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
The first spider zombie came around the corner and appeared in their sight.
It climbed directly towards the two of them from the side along the left wall.
It was extremely fast!
It was covering a distance of thirty meters within a short period!
Liao Bufan’s face was pale as he shouted.
“Fang Heng!”
Fang Heng didn’t move.
His eyes were fixed on the corner.
Over there, zombie spiders were crazily climbing out of the four walls.
There were too many of them, and they were too fast.
They even knocked away many wooden frames blocking the passageway!
Just wait a bit more!
Fang Heng pressed his index finger on the trigger.
He could hear his own heartbeat.
He wanted to kill as many spider zombies as possible!
A large number of spider zombies rushed out from the corner.
The first spider zombie that rushed out from the corner had already picked up the smell of human flesh.
Its twisted limbs exerted a force on the wall and its whole body rose abruptly from the ground.
“Psst!”
The spider zombie flew up and was ready to pounce on Fang Heng.
Liao Bufan exclaimed.
“Fang Heng! Hurry!”
The spider zombie was about to move its claws.
Fang Heng steadily held the flamethrower and pressed the trigger with his index finger.
“Boom!! ”
The flamethrower roared.
A long strip of pale blue high-temperature flame was spat out from the mouth of the flamethrower.
The spider zombie that was charging straight at the mouth of the flamethrower was hit directly by the flame!
“Squeak!!!”
The spider zombie let out a strange cry. Its entire body was instantly ignited and burned intensely. Its entire body was sent flying backward.
“Pa!”
The zombie fell to the ground.
Its body kept twisting and struggling on the ground. The flame on its body could not be extinguished and it kept squeaking miserably.
It wasn’t completely dead after being burned by the flamethrower!
The mutated zombies were really troublesome!
Fang Heng secretly clenched his teeth.
He had no time to care about how much damage the burning had done.
More spider zombies skimmed over the burning spider zombie which was rolling on the ground.
They rushed toward Fang Heng one after another.
“Fang Heng! There are too many!”
Liao Bufan’s forehead was full of sweat. He immediately turned the fire valve to its maximum power.
Fang Heng heard him.
He didn’t have the time to answer. He gritted his teeth and controlled the flames to drive off the spider zombies.
“Squeak! Squeak!”
The spider zombies that came after him weren’t afraid of death. They jumped into the sea of fire one by one and were burned by the high temperature of the flames. Their bodies were on fire and they rolled backwards.
“Fang Heng!”
Seeing that more and more spider zombies were coming, Liao Bufan shouted out his name.
“It’s not good. Prepare to retreat. There are too many of them! Half of the fuel has been consumed!”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
“Retreat, over my dead body!” Fang Heng thought to himself.
The word “retreat” was not in this plan at all!
The flamethrower’s output was strong, the firepower was fierce and it was exhilarating using it.
But how could the fuel be consumed so quickly?
In the video Fang Heng saw in his memory, that player used the focused flamethrower to burn for nearly half an hour before he ran out of a can of fuel.
How long had it been?
Could it be that the product Vettel sold him was inferior?
“How can it be used so quickly?”
“How can it be so fast?”
Liao Bufan was burning with anxiety. He shouted, “We’ve always adjusted the maximum power! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to hold on for long!”
“Got it!”
Fang Heng quickly understood.
In the video that he saw in his memory, the player was dealing with almost all ordinary zombies. Only one or two mutated zombies would appear occasionally.
There was no need to use the maximum power to deal with such a situation.
As for him, he was dealing with all spider zombies!
Fang Heng wanted to farm for a while more.
There was no other way. He was running out of fuel.
Fang Heng had no choice but to tilt the flame nozzle and aim at the gasoline on the other side of the ground.
“Boom!”
The gasoline on the ground was ignited.
The flame quickly moved forward along the gasoline.
The wooden frames that blocked the corner at the end of the passageway were also ignited in an instant and started to burn fiercely.
The burning wooden frames had formed a wall of fire in a short period of time!
The spider zombies were very afraid of fire.
The burning corner of the passageway had cut off the spider zombies that were coming.
Seeing that, Liao Bufan’s eyes lit up.
He understood!
“So that’s how those wooden frames are used!”
“It’s f*cking awesome!”
“It turns out that everything was part of the boss’ plan.”
The corner of Liao Bufan’s mouth curled up and his tensed mind relaxed a little.
“F*ck, I was worried for nothing again!”
Without the continuous stream of spider zombies joining the battlefield, the pressure on Fang Heng and Liao Bufan was greatly reduced!
Now, they only needed to get rid of the remaining spider zombies that were not completely dead.
The flamethrower had reached a dangerous temperature of 91%.
Fang Heng had no choice but to temporarily close the valve on hand.
If he continued forcefully, the durability and even the upper limit of the flamethrower would be greatly reduced.
The flames stopped for a while.
Liao Bufan vigilantly looked at the spider zombies in front of him.
The squeaking sounds of the spider zombies were everywhere and the air was filled with the smell of rotting and burnt flesh.
It was like hell.
Some of the zombies were writhing on the ground, while others were trying to escape. They tried to run back, but were stopped by the wall of fire behind them.
The remaining ones were the most troublesome ones. Even though their bodies were burning with flames, they were still rushing toward Fang Heng.
“Boom!!!”
Less than half a minute later, the flamethrower’s nozzle was still at 89% critical temperature. Fang Heng had no choice but to press the switch again.
“Fang Heng, there’s still a quarter of the fuel left!”
Liao Bufan said as he quickly reduced the flame efficiency slightly.
Fang Heng frowned.
Mutated zombies were troublesome!
Even the spider zombies with low HP and low fire resistance were still so difficult to deal with.
Even with his flamethrower, they were not able to defeat most of the spider zombies!
Leveling up was really too difficult!
Fang Heng was glad that he had planned and used the artificial firewall to block the entrance to the rear passageway.
