Chapter 53: Safe

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After killing the zombies with two slashes, Fang Heng walked into the room.

“Eh? What’s that sound?”

Before he could explore the dean’s office, Fang Heng suddenly heard something.

He turned around and took two steps back, looking at the end of the corridor.

There were three short shadows.

They were growling threateningly.

“F*ck, they are zombie dogs!”

Fang Heng said to himself, “This is troublesome.”

Zombie dogs and spider zombies were both famous for their speed and were very difficult to deal with! The zombie dogs were even faster than the spider zombies!

“Roar!”

The three zombie dogs were attracted by Fang Heng’s gunshots. They increased their speed and rushed toward Fang Heng.

“Bang!”

Fang Heng hurriedly hid in the dean’s office and closed the door. Then, he moved a cabinet to block the wooden door.

They were coming.

“Dong! Dong Dong!”

Fang Heng heard the sound of the three zombie dogs hitting the door with their bodies.

The broken wooden door wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

Fang Heng sneered and extended the muzzle of the shotgun out of the hole made by the shotgun.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

After a few shots, there was no more movement outside.

[Hint: You have used a shotgun to kill a zombie dog*3. You have gained 15 survival points. Your gun mastery experience +21.]

“Troublesome zombie dogs.”

After confirming that the zombie dogs had died via the game log, Fang Heng muttered and pushed the door open again.

Zombie dogs had the advantage of explosive speed and fast dodging. They were not high-level zombies and their HP was even lower than ordinary zombies.

Therefore, they would not drop the complete evolution crystals after they died.

Fang Heng ran out of the door again and killed the ordinary zombies that were attracted by the gunshots.

He turned back to the dean’s office and began to search wantonly.

[Hint: You found a pack of cigarettes*2, premium coffee beans*10, a tattered shirt*1, the dean’s magnetic card*1, milk*2, chocolate*3, first aid spray*1.]

After searching the room carefully, Fang Heng did not find any traces of the T-virus serum. Instead, he found some more useful survival materials.

For example, first aid spray, an item that could greatly restore health points, was extremely rare.

Cigarettes were also good items that could increase the favorability rating of NPCs in the game.

However, he could not find the T-virus serum.

Strange, where could it be hidden?

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked around the entire room again.

He had searched very carefully before.

Could it be…

A picture frame?

Fang Heng’s gaze focused on a photo on the wall.

It was often played like this in movies.

He remembered that there were similar posts in the forum before. There were hidden safes in some rooms.

One of the hiding places was behind the picture frame.

Fang Heng walked to the picture frame where the dean’s photo was hanging and moved the picture frame away.

Sure enough, a metal safe appeared behind the picture frame.

“This is bad, I don’t know the password.”

Fang Heng tried to hit the safe with the stone hammer.

“Dong!”

A muffled sound was heard.

[Hint: You have dealt damage to the metal safe +7.]

A long health bar appeared in Fang Heng’s eyes.

The safe had a durability of 20,000. Even if he used the shotgun and the zombie clones to scrape the safe, it would take an entire day for him to break it open.

Only by finding the password could he quickly open the safe.

“Come to think again, normal players don’t have shotguns and zombie clones like me. It’s impossible to crack open the safe.”

“The game doesn’t set certain death quests. There should be a hint.”

Fang Heng calmed down and thought about it. He looked for any books that might be in the room.

There weren’t any.

Then he could only try his luck.

“12345.”

Error!

“1024.”

Error!

“Dark Knights.”

Error!

“Verone (Dean’s name).”

Error!

“T-virus.”

Error!

Fang Heng scratched his head.

What could it be? Could it be that the hint wasn’t here?

More than ten minutes had passed but Fang Heng still found nothing.

He calmed down, walked to the centre of the room and looked around again.

That’s right!

Fang Heng thought of something.

A computer!

There was a desktop computer on the dean’s office desk.

There might be relevant information about the password in it!

But without a power source, the computer could not be turned on at the moment.

Power source!?

Generator set!?

“God!”

It was connected!

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin, thinking.

It was very likely that this mission required him to turn on the generator before he could turn on the computer.

Then, he could use the computer to get the password to the safe!

Then, the next mission should be to find a way to repair the generator and make it generate electricity again!

As for why Old Black wanted to destroy the generator set…

Perhaps he did not want others to complete the Dark Knight’s mission?

Fang Heng felt that he was most likely right.

He was about to return to the basement when he saw the game log light up.

[Hint: Your survival radio has received an emergency message.]

Huh?

Fang Heng stopped and turned on the survival radio to check.

Hao Zhou: Fang Heng, how are things over there? I’ve found the location of the generator set and also found something.

Hao Zhou also found the problem with the generator?

He immediately replied to Hao Zhou.

Fang Heng: “I’ll be right back.”.

He rushed back to the generator room on the first floor.

Hao Zhou and the others were studying something in front of the generator set.

“What did you find?”

“Fang Heng, you came back just in time. Come and have a look. We found that the generator set is running.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

Fang Heng was stunned.

The generator unit was running?

He was just thinking about how to persuade Hao Zhou to try to turn on the generator set.

Now Hao Zhou told him that the generator set was running?

This was completely inconsistent with his previous guess!

Fang Heng was a little confused for a moment.

He tried to clear his mind and asked, “You mean the generator set is in good condition? It’s still running? Then why isn’t the building providing power?”

Kun Ta, who was studying the circuit at the back, poked his head out and explained to Fang Heng.

“I just studied the generator set and found that the generator set here doesn’t provide power to the main building.”

Fang Heng was stunned again and was even more surprised. He asked, “It’s not the main building? Then where is it?”

“I’m not sure. The circuit operation seems to lead to the bottom.”

“The bottom?” Hao Zhou also frowned. He picked up the map of the hospital that he had just found and looked at it carefully.

“There’s only the morgue underground.”

Morgue?

The members of the team all had strange expressions on their faces.

Why did a proper apocalypse survival game suddenly become a little scary?

Fang Heng was also puzzled.

What was the rationale behind the hospital’s backup generator set made to ensure the power supply of the morgue in the first place?

To prevent zombies?

But could ensuring the power supply help to prevent zombies…

Fang Heng raised his head and asked, “Kun Ta, do you have a way to change the circuit, such as providing power from the generator set to the building?”

“Uh… I can try, but my skill level is too low. It will take at least three hours to do so.”

Alright!

It seemed that the previous guess was probably wrong.

Fang Heng ruled out a wrong answer.
