Chapter 134: Hiding

“I didn’t expect to meet Old Black here.”

Fang Heng was thinking while driving the truck.

Fang Heng had suspected something when he was exploring the hardware store.

The hardware store showed signs of being explored beforehand.

The direction of this road was to the hardware store.

Was it a coincidence?

Could it be that Old Black and the others were the ones who explored the hardware store in advance?

Fang Heng sped up the truck and drove to the hardware store.

For safety reasons, he hid the truck in the bushes by the roadside, leaving a few vine zombies to guard the truck.

Then, Fang Heng controlled another zombie to stand on the road outside the hardware store.

After making the preparations, Fang Heng led a group of more than twenty vine zombies into the hardware store.

After entering the store, Fang Heng quickly scanned the interior of the hardware store.

Just like yesterday, the zombies inside the hardware store had been cleaned up.

There were no zombies.

The shelves were also cleaned up yesterday.

There was a small warehouse and a small office behind the hardware store.

Fang Heng searched the two areas in detail.

But still, he found nothing.

“Tcan’t find it. Could it be that Qiu Yaokang made a wrong judgment?”

Fang Heng stood in the middle of the room, muttering to himself. He looked around the room, searching for places where items might be hidden.

‘While he was searching, the game log suddenly refreshed.

(Hint: Your zombie has encountered an attack. Your zombie has tried to dodge…Dodge failed! You have gained dodging experience point +1.]

“Here it comes!”

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

The zombies outside the hardware store had been attacked!

Fang Heng quickly walked to the door of the hardware store.

He hid his body, turned sideways and carefully observed the situation outside.

“That’s right!”

“I’s Old Black and the others!”

Fang Heng saw Old Black and his other three companions dealing with the vine zombie clones outside the store.

It seemed that their target was the hardware store as well.

Something that could interest Old Black, an anti-federal organization figure, was probably not some ordinary mechanical skill book.

Qiu Yaokang’s judgment was probably right. There should be some hidden items in this hardware store.

“Perfect. I can’t find them anyway. Why don’t I let them explore the place first?”

Fang Heng had an idea.

However, he had to find a place to hide first.

Fang Heng took a few steps back and glanced around the interior of the hardware store again.

‘Where could he hide so many zombies?

Finally, Fang Heng slowly raised his head and looked at the steel beams above the hardware store.

“Got it!”

“Chi… Chi.

The zombie clones all extended long and narrow vines from their bodies.

One end of the vines slowly rose and wrapped around the beams, then pulled the zombies up.

“Chi… Chi…”

‘When the vine zombies climbed onto the upper floor of the shelf and above the steel beam, a few more vines descended from above, wrapping around Fang Heng and slowly lifting him.

Seeing Old Black and the others gradually approaching, Fang Heng also activated his stealth skill.

Not long after, a four-man team cleared the vine zombies along the way and gradually approached the hardware store.

Deng Xin, the team leader with long chestnut hair, observed the hardware store.

She was a little confused.

The zombie that they had just disposed of was abnormal.

Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any vines in this area.

“According to the plan, lure the ghost claw zombies out and use explosives to seriously wound them. Then, we’ll destroy them one by one.”

The other two male team members nodded hard.

Old Black slowly walked to the side and leaned against the streetlight.

“Be careful. I won’t go in with you guys. I will stay outside to prevent any accidents from happening.”

The two companions in Deng Xin’s team nodded and entered the hardware store together.

As the windows of the hardware store were all closed, the interior of the hardware store was unusually dark.

The team members turned on their torches and quickly scanned the area, then immediately shone them at the corners of the hardware store.

“Eh? Where are the zombies?”

The corners that were illuminated by the torches were completely wiped clean.

Deng Xin and the other two members were surprised.

“Strange? Where are the ghost claw zombies from before?”

The team came here two days ago and cleared out the ordinary zombies in the outer area.

However, when they faced the last five ghost claw zombies, they had no choice but to temporarily stop the mission because of their limited ammunition.

Deng Xin flipped over the shelf beside her and said in a deep voice, “Be careful. Someone arrived before us. The hardware store has already been cleared…”

Everyone was surprised.

Which team could deal with five ghost claw zombies at the same time?

The ghost claw zombies were different from the vine zombies. Their ghost claw could block.

Unless they had great willpower, ordinary players would not be able to kill them with bows and arrows!

If they used guns, it would be extremely difficult to get guns in the early stages of the game, not to mention that it would consume a lot of bullets!

They had also spent a lot of effort to get two sets of explosives from their employer. They were planning to use the explosives to kill the ghost claw zombies.

“That’s good too. It saves us a lot of trouble.”

“I wonder if the mission has been triggered.”

“It shouldn’t be a problem. Only we have the password book for the safe. Even if ordinary players are lucky enough to find the secret passage, they don’t have the password.”

Deng Xin used her flashlight to search the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger in the hardware store, she relaxed a little.

“Mu Zikun, go and check the warehouse and office at the back.”

“Tang Xun, go outside and tell Old Black that the hardware store has been cleaned in advance. Ask him what to do next.”

“Okay!”

Deng Xin finished her task.

She walked forward alone until she reached a row of shelves in the comer.

‘Mu Zikun and Tang Xun soon came back.

“Sister Xin, we’ve checked. There’s no one in the warehouse or the office. The shelves inside have also been searched. We’ve confirmed that someone was here before us.”

“Old Black told us to continue the plan and find the G-virus sample first.”

“Okay.”

Deng Xin nodded.

She noticed that the location of the secret passage had not been moved.

She was lucky!

She had planned to kill all the ghost claw zombies this time, but she didn’t expect that someone would help her in advance.

And it seemed that this forerunner didn’t realize that there was a hidden passage here.

“You two move it away.”

Mu Zikun and Tang Xun walked to the two sides of the shelf.

One pushed, the other pulled.

“Crack…”

The shelf was slowly pushed away, revealing the entrance of the passage behind it.

“Old Black’s intelligence was right. The entrance is behind the shelves.”

Deng Xin was delighted.

With that, they were one step closer to completing their mission.

However, Deng Xin and the other two didn’t notice that Fang Heng was squatting on top of a shelf behind them, coldly watching them.

It wasn’t just Fang Heng.

Ina place that Deng Xin and the others couldn’t see, more than twenty vine zombies were hiding on the top of some shelves and the steel beams!

The room was extremely dark and the cardboard boxes completely covered their bodies.

In addition, Fang Heng and the zombies both could conceal their auras.

Deng Xin’s players easily overlooked the ceiling which was a blind spot.

They didn’t even realize the existence of Fang Heng and the zombie group!
