Chapter 231 The Blood Moon Arrives
“Ring, ring, ring…” Meng Hao picked up the phone on his desk.
“Hello?”
“Mr Chen.”
“Okay, I’ll be online right away.”
After putting down the phone, Meng Hao immediately turned and entered the game cabin. He returned to AEFC’s shelter in District 8.
The atmosphere in the shelter was unusually heavy.
The Blood Moon was about to arrive and the players were making final preparations.
werem
The owner of the shelter was Zhao Qinsi.
Zhao Qinsi was an old employee of AEFC and had done many meritorious deeds for the company. He had a calm personality and had many years of command experience. Zhao Qinsi was methodically carrying out the final pre-war inspection. When he saw Meng Hao approaching, Zhao Qinsi nodded at him.
“How is it? Is there a situation?”
“Everything is going according to plan.” Meng Hao shook his head.
He hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, “But I still feel that something isn’t right. I feel very uneasy.” “Mm.”
Zhao Qinsi looked at Meng Hao, then nodded and gave a soft “Mm.”
Suddenly, Zhao Qinsi’s face fell.
His expression was extremely terrifying. He looked down at the log and didn’t say a word.
Cold sweat dripped down his face.
Seeing Zhao Qinsi’s expression, Meng Hao’s heart began to pound.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s going on?”
Zhao Qinsi looked up. His usually calm face was now filled with shock.
“The difficulty level of the Blood Moon has increased.”
“What?”
“I’ll transfer it to you. See for yourself.” Zhao Qinsi turned on his survival radio and directly sent the message to Meng Hao.
(Hint: There are only ten minutes left until the Blood Moon arrives. Overall, your shelter estimates the strength of the Blood Moon to be Level 33.]
(Hint: Your shelter estimates that it will not be able to resist the Blood Moon at this strength. Please be careful.]
Meng Hao’s pupils suddenly dilated.
How could this be?
Why did the difficulty level of the Blood Moon suddenly increase so much?
Two hours ago, their difficulty was only Level
5.
Why did it increase to Level 33 now?
It instantly increased by nearly 30 levels?
More importantly…
Once the Blood Moon reached Level 30 and above, they would be facing a Tier 4 Little Corpse King!
Instantly, countless thoughts flashed through Meng Hao’s mind.
Could it be that something strange had happened in Server 8, causing the difficulty level of the game to increase dramatically?
Or was it because of the pupa plan? Or was it because of him?
Meng Hao couldn’t help but think of Fang Heng. His intuition told him that all of this was Fang Heng’s doing!
But his rationality told him that it was impossible!
Fang Heng was just a player! He definitely couldn’t control the Blood Moon difficulty level in the game!
“Meng Hao!”
“Ah?”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Meng Hao realized that he had never been so lost.
He breathed heavily, forcing himself to calm down and think.
This had nothing to do with Fang Heng!
The AEFC Company’s shelter alone would not be able to withstand such a difficulty level!
The only way to survive was to seek help from the neighboring Meteorite Company. “I’ll contact Tsugawa Hideharu. They won’t let us all die here.”
“Hurry back. Leave this place to me. Once the Blood Moon arrives, I can hold on for ten minutes at most.”
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were hiding in a hidden sewer exit.
Fang Heng lifted the manhole cover and observed the status of AEFC’s shelter from afar.
(Hint: Blood Moon Countdown… 3… 2… ]
(Hint: Blood Moon has officially arrived. This round of Blood Moon lasts for 9 hours. Good luck, player.)
The sun was hidden in the thick clouds.
A blood-red moonlight hung high in the sky.
The entire apocalyptic world was covered with a layer of strange red light.
It was coming!
The screams of zombies could be heard in the distance.
A dense zombie horde spawned around the town and swarmed toward the shelter in the centre of the town.
There was no end in sight.
Under the cover of the Blood Moon, the zombies moved faster and were more aggressive than before.
Fang Heng was excited. With such a large zombie horde, the difficulty level of the Blood Moon was definitely above Level 25!
“It’s done!”
Mo Jiawei also clapped his hands excitedly.
“Let’s go, we need to move.”
Seeing the zombie horde getting closer, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei went into the sewer together.
Under the sewer, the four Tyrants were standing casually.
Behind them was a row of Lickers.
At the end of the line, there was a dense crowd of vine zombies.
The vine zombie team blocked the passage leading to the temporary safe house.
Since the entrance to the underground sewer had been sealed, there was only one passage left for the zombie horde.
In the Blood Moon, most of the zombies would first look for targets to attack through the passage of the various defense facilities. The remaining few zombies would choose to directly attack and destroy the building.
Once the number of zombies gathered outside the passage reached a certain number, the zombie horde would find another way and try to destroy the entire building from all directions.
According to the plan, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei would immediately return to the planned explosion point after entering the sewer.
In the outside world, a large number of zombies swarmed into Meng City.
CO
The zombie horde surrounded the manhole cover that led to the entrance of the sewer, directly attacking the manhole cover and the surrounding cement ground.
The remaining zombie horde headed straight for the AEFC Company’s shelter and the Meteorite Company’s mansion.
Zhao Qinsi did not panic. He commanded the AEFC guild players to resist the wave of zombies.
AEFC Company had dug a small moat around the shelter.
The moat was not filled with water. Instead, it was filled with fuel that had just been poured in!
The drawbridge slowly rose.
Relying on the large-scale cover behind the moat, the players fired a large number of burning arrows at the zombie horde.
“Boom!!”
A layer of fuel spilt in the moat was ignited and started burning.
The zombie horde was not afraid of the flames and fell into the moat one after another.
Zhao Qinsi frowned.
The moat had cost his guild a lot of manpower and resources to be built successfully.
Dealing with the zombie horde that was below Level 10 was not a problem!
But now…
It was useless!
There were too many zombies in the zombie horde!
After the zombies died, a large number of corpses piled up under the moat.
In a few minutes, the corpses would fill up the entire moat!
Just as he expected.
The moat did not last for more than three minutes. The zombie horde that was covered in flames stepped on the corpses of their companions and began to climb out of the moat.
They charged into the spike traps at the outermost layer of the moat.
Players used the Molotov cocktail to smash at the zombie horde outside of the spike trap, reducing the zombie horde’s HP as much as possible.
The durability of the spikes at the outermost periphery was decreasing at a visible rate.
They couldn’t hold on any longer!
Even if the Meteorite Company had helped them attract a large group of zombies away from their shelter, they wouldn’t be able to hold on!
Meng Hao stood off to the side, looking at the spike traps on the periphery that was about to be destroyed. He clenched his fists tightly. “Let’s retreat. If we continue, the losses will only be greater. I’ve already communicated with Tsugawa Hideharu. We’re giving up on the shelter. We’re going to hide in the Meteorite Company’s mansion temporarily to survive the Blood Moon.”
Zhao Qinsi stared at the zombie horde outside.
“It’s not time yet. Let’s wait a bit longer.”
It wasn’t until the first zombie horde broke through the spike barriers and was about to rush to the front of the players that Zhao Qinsi pressed the button in his hand.
“Boom!!”
