Chapter 468: History of the Nursing Home
After spending more than three hours, Fang Heng and Zhong Lei arrived at the apocalypse merchant camp.
The camp was built in a world of ice and snow, and it looked rather dilapidated.
If it were any other place, the apocalypse merchant camp would have long been occupied by a large-sized guild.
Inside a small wooden cabin in the camp, two men and a woman sat at a table. They simultaneously raised their heads to size up Fang Heng and Zhong Lei, who had just entered.
“Zhong Lei? Fang Shuo? ”
“Yes, hello. Yi Qi, is it? We’ve communicated on the forum. ”
Yi Qi and the other two looked at Zhong Lei and Fang Heng suspiciously.
“I thought you guys were joking. I didn’t expect you guys to really come all the way here. ”
Yi Qi was a middle-aged big beardy man with a shotgun on his back.
“Let me get this straight. Our team has been exploring the nursing home for more than a month. We need elites. If you just want to gain some experience after joining the team, you can get lost now. ”
“Of course, we are very sincere. ”
The three of them looked at each other.
The capable woman with short hair said, “I am Vera, the long-range support in the team. You claim to know some secrets about Far Mountain Nursing Home. Let’s exchange information. ”
The young man who had been silent all the while added, “You guys go first. ”
Fang Heng was baffled and confused.
They were there to inquire about the news. How would they have information to share?
Ahem.
Zhong Lei coughed lightly and whispered into Fang Heng’s ear, “When I contacted them online earlier, I casually fooled them. I was acting according to the situation. ”
Zhong Lei looked at Vera and said, “I don’t think this is fair. ”
“It’s indeed not fair. ” Yi Qi nodded and said, “So you can refuse to cooperate and go back if you wish. ”
Zhong Lei frowned.
“It’s okay, Zhong Lei. It’s just some information. We will show our sincerity. But after our introduction, please fill in the blanks. What do you think? ”
“Okay, it’s very fair. ”
Fang Heng nodded and stood up. “Wait a moment. I’ll be back soon. ”
Under everyone’s eyes, Fang Heng slowly walked to the merchants of the apocalypse merchant camp behind the counter.
“What do you need? Survival points? ”
“Hey, I want to check the materials that are sold to the public. ”
“Feel free to look. The goods here are all top-notch. ”
“Hint: you have spent 342 thousand survival points to purchase all the remaining items available for sale in the survival camp. Your favorability rating with Anit has increased. ”
“Hint: you have sold some items such as pliers, cauldrons, oil drums, cotton seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on. Your favorability rating with Anit has increased. ”
“Hint: you have spent 341 thousand survival points to purchase all remaining items available for sale in the survival camp. Your favorability rating with Anit has increased… ”
“Hint: your favorability rating with Anit has increased to that of close friends. ”
More than a minute passed, and the old-fashioned apocalypse merchant, Anit, broke the silence.
“All right, Fang Heng, because it’s you. ”
“Thank you so much. ”
“Give me a moment. ” Anit turned around and rummaged under the counter for a moment. Finally, he took a bunch of keys and walked toward Yi Qi and the others.
He stood in front of the table.
“I’ll tell you the story of that nursing home. Where do I begin… I remember that building was already there when I was born. It was still an orphanage at that time. The orphanage was a charity project of Meteorite Company. Every year, Meteorite Company would make a donation to the orphanage. Oh right, they weren’t called Meteorite Company at that time. ”
He continued, “There are many rumors about that orphanage. I’ve heard many unreliable rumors, such as monsters, mental patients, and so on. Some people even said that the meteorite company was using those children to conduct inhuman human experiments in the orphanage. ”
Anit’s face showed disdain. “Nonsense. Who would believe that? After Meteorite Company’s research on the zombie virus was exposed, their finances were greatly affected. They stopped investing in charity. The orphanage was forced to disband due to a lack of funds. This house was bought by an outsider and converted into the current nursing home. After that, the zombie apocalypse happened, and Far Mountain Nursing Home gradually became abandoned. ”
He sighed and uttered, “I advise you to be careful. Ever since the zombie crisis broke out, that place has become strange, and the wild beasts in the mountains rarely go near it. There have always been survivors who want to go into the nursing home to check, but as far as I know, these people almost never have a good ending. ”
While speaking, Anit placed the keys he had just found onto the table and pushed it toward Fang Heng. “This is the key to the abandoned nursing home. ”
Everyone raised their heads in surprise.
“Anit, why do you have the keys to the nursing home? ”
“On a certain night after the zombie apocalypse broke out, the youngest son of the nursing home director came to me. He told me that there were monsters in the nursing home and that his family had all died at the hands of the monsters. He wanted to use the nursing home to exchange for a pistol from me. ”
Anit shrugged and continued, “To be honest, I rarely agree to loss-making deals. At that time, I thought it was a good deal, so I agreed. Later, I found out that the place was much more dangerous than I thought. You all know that this failed business is a matter of losing face. If you want to go into the nursing home to investigate, help me get some valuable things from it. ”
“Hint: player team has triggered the mission ‘Anit’s Honor. ‘ ”
Mission name: Anit’s Honor.
Mission difficulty: B + .
Mission description: you have learned about the history of Far Mountain Nursing Home from the apocalypse merchant Anit. Anit hopes that you can collect 2,000 survival points worth of materials from the nursing home and give them to him.
Mission reward: Anit’s favorability rating, survival points, and Anit’s treasure.
“No problem, Anit. Leave this mission to me. ” Fang Heng picked up the bunch of keys as he spoke.
“Hint: you have obtained an ancient bunch of keys. ”
Item: an ancient bunch of keys.
Description: the keys of Far Mountain Nursing Home. It looks a little shabby.
“Very well. I wish you good luck. If you need any materials, you can look for me to purchase them. ” After saying that, Anit returned to the back of the counter.
Yi Qi and the others fell silent at the same time. They all looked at Fang Heng with a strange gaze.
It was a little strange.
They had spent so much effort gathering information, but they had not been able to gather any information or missions about the nursing home. Yet, the player who appeared out of nowhere had actually obtained information just by casually chatting with a merchant, even triggering a mission and obtaining the keys.
Zhong Lei was also baffled. He even suspected that Fang Heng had been to the area before. “How on earth did Fang Heng do it? ” he wondered.
