“Since Lickers have high agility, it’s not easy to hit them. So, wait until all of you enter the inner part of the sentry towers.”
Fang Heng continued to explain the battle plan to Chen Yu and his team.
“By relying on the advantage of the sentry towers being high in the air, coupled with the additional long-range attack range and the drop rate of hits from the sentry towers, we should be able to deal with the Lickers trapped in the maze.”
“Any other questions?”
A federation soldier raised his hand and asked, “Mr Fang Heng! I have a question!”
“Please speak.”
“We don’t have enough guns and ammunition. We can’t guarantee our output.”
“The prison will provide you with a portion of pistols and ammunition.”
As Fang Heng spoke, he gave Liao Bufan a look.
Liao Bufan was already prepared. He ran to the side and pushed the wooden box in the corner over.
Opening the wooden box, there were more than ten pistols and a box full of pistol bullets.
These guns and bullets were all collected from Prison No. 2 and Prison No. 3.
“So many bullets?”
The members of the federal team were dazzled by this box of bullets.
They had once again witnessed the abundance of the prison.
The elite team of the federation had a 60% pistol equipped rate, but each of them only had 15 bullets.
Before coming here, they had thought that such equipment could be considered top-notch in the game.
After arriving at the prison, they realized that the bullets here could be used at will...
Chen Yu came back to his senses.
He looked at the sentry towers, then at the maze which he built yesterday, and finally at the bullets all over the ground.
Was this plan feasible?
Did he want to use the maze to trap the Lickers for a while longer?
Then, he could use the advantage of the sentry tower’s high position to shoot from above?
In theory, it seemed feasible.
But...
Chen Yu had never seen anyone play in such a way in the apocalypse game.
“Chen Yu, what do you think of the plan?”
“It’s... It’s okay...”
Chen Yu was a little confused by Fang Heng’s wild thinking.
“But, Fang Heng, this maze might be useful for ordinary zombies, but Lickers are good at climbing. If they encounter such terrain, they should be able to climb over it directly, right?”
Fang Heng nodded.
“That’s right. So, I made some special arrangements. You’ll find out later.”
“Alright.”
Chen Yu thought for a moment. If Fang Heng had already considered this...
Theoretically speaking, there shouldn’t be any loopholes in this plan.
However, it was still weird.
“How about... We give it a try first?”
“Alright, let’s give it a try first.”
Fang Heng was very confident in his plan, but Chen Yu was right.
This was the first time they were using this tactic, so they had to give it a try for safety reasons.
They had to try to lure a few Lickers out first, so that even if something unexpected happened to their plan, they would be able to remedy it in time.
According to the plan, Chen Yu and the federal team members were divided into five groups and they each climbed up the sentry tower.
They took out their pistols and aimed at the exit of Prison No. 1.
A member of the federal team noticed something and pointed at the top of the ‘maze’.
“Captain, look up.”
“Hiss...”
Chen Yu sucked in a breath of cold air.
What the heck!
On the top of the log pile, there was a layer of wood and a layer of spike trap was added to the wood.
It was obvious that this was Fang Heng’s doing!
Chen Yu secretly nodded in his heart.
A layer of wooden spike trap could indeed prevent the Licker from directly jumping over the obstacles from above.
However, it was not certain how effective it would be.
After all, that was a Licker!
Fang Heng and Liao Bufan walked to the iron gate of Prison No. 1 together, and he gestured to Chen Yu who was high up.
Chen Yu also gestured with his hand.
“Raise your spirits and get ready for battle.”
“Yes! Leader!”
Fang Heng put down his hand and pushed open the iron gate.
The next task was to lure the enemies.
This task was a little difficult.
Fang Heng thought about it for a long time. He realized that the task of luring the Lickers could only be done by him.
Among all the players, he was the one with the highest agility!
In addition to his 15 points of perceptive ability and danger warning ability, he could buy as much time as possible to escape in advance.
If it were anyone else who went to lure the Licker, they would probably die on the way before they could even lure it out.
Opening the door of the passage, Liao Bufan quickly dodged to the side.
Fang Heng stood where he was. He glanced at the inner part of the prison and took out a bottle of drink from his pocket.
Item: Gatorade 2021 commemorative edition.
Description: After drinking it, you can increase your maximum movement speed by 20% and your vitality recovery speed by 20% within 20 minutes (you can only use it once within 48 hours).
Fang Heng gulped down the drink.
He had tested it when he met the Licker yesterday. He ran at full speed but was slightly slower than the Licker.
Now with this 20% increase in speed, the Licker should not be able to catch up with him.
Fang Heng held the shotgun in his hand and slowly moved forward.
He walked along the passage that he had previously walked through until he reached the entrance to the second floor.
Fang Heng was not in a hurry to go upstairs. Instead, he took out a yellow rubber duckling toy from his backpack.
He reached out and grabbed the rubber duckling’s stomach.
He squeezed it lightly.
“Squeak!”
The toy duckling let out an ear-piercing screech.
“Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!!”
After pressing it several times, Fang Heng kept the duckling.
Lickers relied on sound to track their targets. At close range, they could even hear the heartbeat of their prey.
Therefore, if they directly used the sound source to attract the Lickers, they would be seen through very quickly.
They had taken the bait!
A moment later, Fang Heng heard the faint sound of friction coming from upstairs. At the same time, a sense of danger arose in his heart.
He turned around and ran!
Fang Heng ran forward with all his might.
His vitality points began to drop rapidly.
Fang Heng was very sure that the Lickers that were behind him were still chasing him.
The sense of danger behind him did not disappear. Instead, it became more and more intense!
“Chi Chi Chi!!”
The sound of the Lickers crawling against the wall behind him became more and more frequent!
Listening to the sounds, the number of Lickers chasing him this time was even more than the last time.
“This is troublesome.”
The rubber ducking’s cry was not controlled well.
It attracted too many Lickers at once!
Fang Heng had no choice. He didn’t even turn his head and continued to run forward with all his might.
He finally reached the exit!
Fang Heng leapt out of the prison gate and immediately hid in the reserved maze gap on the right.
Liao Bufan quickly blocked the gap on the side, and the two continued to run into the distance.
After running for a few seconds, the first Licker came out of the prison building.
The Licker could pinpoint its location using sound and senses.
It moved extremely fast and immediately climbed up the wall made of logs after breaking out of the building.
Chen Yu followed Fang Heng’s instructions and did not give the order to shoot before receiving his hand signal.
He was unusually nervous, and his finger pressed on the trigger of the pistol while staring intensely at the Licker.
Now it was time to find out if the maze worked!
