, , Nyoi-Bo Studio Nyoi-Bo Studio, In the apocalypse world game, two types of NPCs could be recruited., , One was the basic NPC survivors that could be recruited through the survival radio station., , They were unable to participate in battle and could barely use their weapons to kill zombies. There was a high chance that they would be killed by the zombies., , The other type had the skill of gun mastery and could use all kinds of basic firearms. The attributes of their characters were also higher than those of ordinary survivors., , Players usually call them “mercenaries”., , However, recruiting mercenaries were not free., , Fang Heng needed to spend some survival points for this., , Riding the mountain bike, Fang Heng arrived at the apocalypse camp., , “Hahahaha! Fang Heng! You’re here! I was just talking to my friends about you. I heard that you’ve completed the shelter?”, , “You’re really well-informed.”, , “Hahaha!”, , Vettel looked very happy. He laughed loudly., , “Of course. In our line of work, first-hand information usually means wealth!”, , “Oh right, do you need help? I have a lot of people whom I can recommend to you, but you know…”, , Fang Heng blinked at Vettel., , “I understand. I need to spend survival points to recruit, right?”, , “Don’t worry, I will give you the lowest price. However, there is one thing. If they die in battle, you will have to pay an additional amount of survival points as a pension.”, , “I understand.”, , Fang Heng shrugged., , In major forums of the game, players had been criticizing the pension., , It was too expensive!, , Players aside, even if it was a large guild, if a few mercenaries under them were to suddenly die in the early stages, it would be extremely “painful” to them., , For ordinary players, they would not even consider recruiting mercenaries., , The risk was too great. If one mercenary died, what they had accumulated in half a year would be lost., , At the moment, Fang Heng believed that the prison’s defensive ability could easily defend against zombies., , But what about players?, , In the zombie apocalypse game, the biggest threat was still the human survivors., , Fang Heng needed to recruit mercenaries to improve the prison’s defensive ability., , This was something that the zombie clones couldn’t do at the moment., , Fang Heng wasn’t willing to deal with players., , It was too risky., , He was more willing to trust NPC mercenaries who wouldn’t betray him., , “Vettel, is there anyone here willing to come to my camp? I’ll pay them.”, , “Of course.”, , Vettel waved his hand and a floating recruitment list appeared in front of Fang Heng., , There were about 50 survivor mercenaries, all of them were Level 1 to 5., , Fang Heng skimmed through it., , Among them, the three highest level mercenaries were at Level 5 and they also had Level 5 gun mastery., , Fang Heng remembered seeing a post in an official player forum that said that Level 5 was the highest level for the mercenaries., , He could not skimp on safety! If he wanted to buy, he had to buy the strongest!, , Fang Heng selected three mercenaries., , “Are you sure you want to recruit them? Recruiting a survivor requires 6,000 survival points.”, , “If he unfortunately dies in battle, you will need to spend an additional 30,000 survival points as compensation.”, , “I am sure.”, , Hint: You have spent 1,800,000 survival points to recruit three survivors. They will report outside your shelter in three hours., , Alright., , After purchasing three mercenaries, Fang Heng’s savings that he had accumulated during this period was completely used up., , He now had less than 500 survival points left., , “Very good, I will immediately tell them. They will report to your shelter in three hours.”, , “Thank you.”, , Fang Heng waved his hand, but in his heart, he was thinking how expensive it was!, , There was a limit to the number of mercenaries that could be recruited from the apocalypse camp. It was on a “first come, first served” basis., , Currently, he was the only one in the game who had established a shelter, so there were no competitors to compete with him for mercenaries., , Once the players had developed, high-level mercenaries would become a resource that would be taken over by large player guilds or gaming companies., , Fang Heng casually said, “Vettel, if you encounter stronger survivors, remember to introduce them to me at any time.”, , “Okay, looks like you’re short of people there?”, , Huh?, , Fang Heng was about to leave when he heard that and raised his eyebrows., , This question made him smell the scent of a mission., , “I’m quite short of people. Vettel, we’re good friends. Do you have any suggestions for me?”, , “Hahaha! Of course. You’re one of my best friends. After all, you’ve always helped in my business.”, , Vetter laughed loudly., , He leaned over and whispered in Fang Heng’s ear., , “Did you forget about the Dark Knights that I mentioned to you before?”, , Fang Heng immediately recalled., , Yes! Dark Knights!, , Hidden mission., , “I had to go all the way to the city hospital to look for the T-virus antidote, right!” he recalled., , “I’ll tell you in secret. After you join the Dark Knights, you can recruit people from the Dark Knights.”, , Vettel secretly revealed the information to Fang Heng., , “Believe me, the Dark Knights are all first-class players with top-notch strength. Recruiting them is an advantage.”, , Fang Heng narrowed his eyes., , There was actually such a saying?, , There was a mercenary whose level was even higher than Level 5?, , He did not know anything about this in the past!, , As expected, even the so-called official game forum could not be trusted., , It even said that a Level 5 mercenary represented the strongest combat strength!, , The real secrets were all in the hands of the big guilds., , Fang Heng cursed in his heart and quickly lowered his head to think., , It was not a good idea to keep the Dark Knight mission on hold., , Now that he had time, it was time to make a trip to the city., , The sooner the better, while the other players had yet to establish a shelter, to seize the opportunity., , It was best to recruit all the powerful mercenaries!, , One step ahead, one step ahead!, , Fang Heng’s heart was once again burning with passion., , He had to go to the city this time!, , However, it was still very dangerous to enter the city at the current stage. Before that, he still needed to make some preparations., , Fang Heng raised his head., , “Vettel, show me your sales list again…”, , “Of course.”, , Fang Heng opened the list and carefully observed it., , There was a very high probability of encountering mutated zombies in the city. He desperately needed the ability to protect himself., , Shotgun. It was capable of inflicting great damage at close range., , The disadvantage was that he needed 6.5 strength points to use it. He needed 8 strength points to control it perfectly and 10 strength points to completely negate the recoil effect., , Fang Heng looked at his own attributes., , Player: Fang Heng, , Level: 9, , HP: 118/118, , Vitality: 100/100, , Spirit: 100/100, , Energy: 83/100, , Strength: 6.8, , Agility: 6.8, , Physique: 6.8, , Will: 5, , Perception: 15, , Intelligence: 5, , “That’s enough, I’ll just use it.”, , “I’ll take it.” he thought., , A small explosive pack., , Whether it was used to attack zombies or to destroy buildings, it was an extremely effective tool., , He also wanted them!, , First aid spray., , He also needed to prepare a life-saving item…, , Fang Heng roughly estimated that he needed at least 40,000 survival points to buy these items., , He had to think of a way to earn points first.
