[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained coal*22…]

[Hint: Your mining skill level has been upgraded to Level 2.]

Half an hour later, seeing that the zombies had found coal, Fang Heng patted the dust off his pants and stood up from the ground.

It was time to go back and see what the accommodation for tonight was going to be like.

The night was approaching.

Zhou Yi and Lu Yu divided the work and cleaned up some of the zombies around the hut. Then, they reinforced the wooden doors and windows of the hut to ensure its safety at night.

Everyone lit a bonfire in the hut.

“You two have worked hard these past few days!”

Fang Heng casually took out a handful of cold beer from his backpack and placed it beside the bonfire. Then, he threw two cans of beer to the two of them.

“Sorry for displaying my immature skill but tonight, I’ll be cooking for all. Come and have a taste of my cooking.”

It was a big skewer of meat!

This was Fang Heng’s ultimate skill.

In the game, with the addition of the recipe skill, the taste of the big skewer of meat was so good that it was out of the world!

One could never get tired of it!

For this reason, Fang Heng even carried a barbecue grill with him. He could eat whenever he wanted to.

He took out the meat pieces and made them into skewers. He placed them on the grill and kept turning them, just like a chef.

The oil from the fatty acids of the meat sizzled under the heat.

The aroma of the skewers drifted directly into Lu Yu and Zhou Yi’s nostrils.

They couldn’t help but drool!

In the zombie apocalypse game, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi were considered professional players.

They had been studying the game’s strategy, so they knew a lot about the game.

However, despite their rich experience, all they had been eating these days were baked potatoes, wild vegetables, roasted berries and roasted bird eggs…

They had to live a miserable life, barely having enough to eat.

After all, they had been desperately completing the apocalypse merchant’s mission during the day and earning survival points to exchange for earth-made bombs. They didn’t have the extra time to go and find food.

They had never thought that there would be someone in the game who could actually be eating big skewers of meat and drinking wine so happily!

When they saw Fang Heng sprinkled cumin on the skewered meat and carefully coated it with a layer of secret sauce, both of their eyes were wide open.

What the heck!

They were wondering if he was here to survive the game or to participate in a gourmet competition?

This kind of behaviour was too much!

Fang Heng raised the beer can.

“It’s been hard on the two of you. Cheers! Let’s continue to collaborate in the future!”

“Happy cooperation! If you need our help in the future, feel free to look for us. We are very reliable!”

Zhou Yi held up the big meat skewer and took a bite.

It was delicious!

The gravy was packed with freshness, and the fats from the meat were bursting in his mouth!

The seasoning blended perfectly!

The slightly bursting taste enhanced the aroma of the meat and flowed down from the nose to the throat.

Delicacies could heal the soul and chase away fatigue.

Zhou Yi ate skewers of meat and drank beer.

His mood for the past few days had been on the low side as he was constantly affected by Fang Heng’s actions. But he seemed to have finally recovered a little bit and currently, he could enjoy the hard-won happiness during the apocalypse.

He had his fill.

Lu Yu and Zhou Yi strongly requested to be responsible for tonight’s vigil as an affirmation of the meal.

Fang Heng did not object.

The few of them began to chat casually again.

“Oh right, God, although we have defeated Prisoner Snake and the others today, we still have to be careful.”

“Oh?” Fang Heng was surprised. He put down the beer in his hand. “They still dare to come?”

“God, don’t forget that in a few days, the game will open up a channel transmission service.”

Zhou Yi explained to Fang Heng with a straight face.

“When the time comes, all players below level 5 in the King of Gods’ game can spend their points to enter our game world.”

“Prisoner Snake is famous for his bad character, but many people don’t want to provoke him.”

“He used to join a gaming guild called ‘Dawn’. This time, they failed to attack the prison. They probably guessed that it was you who established the super-large shelter.”

“If he reports to the guild about what happened in the prison, I’m afraid you’ll be in trouble.”

“Dawn…”

Fang Heng muttered softly and nodded.

This body had the memories of the guild.

Dawn had a very bad reputation in the game. Most of the players in the guild were a bunch of villains.

It was indeed true.

After the prison and the mercenaries were exposed, Fang Heng felt that he had to face those greedy villains.

And as time passed, the restrictions of the game would gradually be opened up.

Two days later, the ban on players below Level 5 would be lifted.

After a month, players below Level 10 would also be able to use their King of Gods’ points to enter the game.

Fang Heng had a premonition that trouble was gradually approaching.

But he was not afraid of trouble.

In the beginning, he hid his identity carefully and developed silently. He had made this decision so that he can buy more time for the prison to develop and avoid unwanted attention.

But it would also greatly sacrifice his development speed.

Fang Heng felt that if the enemy was coming, then let them come!

What he wanted to do was to always be one step ahead of the players and act on his initiative!

He would use his strength to crush them and he was not afraid of it!

If they came, he would kill them, one after another!

Although Fang Heng was afraid of death, he still preferred to face them head-on!

…

The next day.

The sun rose, dispelling the darkness.

Zhou Yi, who was on the vigil, stretched himself.

He was lucky.

It was very quiet last night. No zombies came to disturb him.

Furthermore, he had eaten and drunk enough last night. His mood was much better than the last few days.

He stood up and prepared to go outside to breathe some fresh air.

“Come on, Zhou Yi! Don’t be decadent! Face life positively!”

Zhou Yi patted his cheeks to encourage himself.

He also realized that he had been suffering from ‘blows’ by Fang Heng during this period and his morale was somewhat low.

“Clack…”

Pushing open the wooden door of the hut, Zhou Yi was greatly surprised.

What was this?

Outside the hut, the stones that were gathered earlier on had piled up into more than ten two-meter-high ‘small hills’.

These small hills were also mixed with small black stones.

Black stones…

Hmm?

Was it coal ore?

Zhou Yi was puzzled.

What was going on?

He wondered if he was hallucinating because he had only slept for four hours last night.

Zhou Yi slowly walked to the front of a small hill and picked up a small piece of black coal.

The coal immediately disappeared from his hand.

[Hint: You have obtained coal*1.]

It was real!

It wasn’t an illusion, it was just coal!

Bloody hell!

Where did all these coal mines come from?

Out of thin air?

Were ghosts behind this? Was there a bug in the system?

Zhou Yi was puzzled and he looked around.

He saw a zombie staggering over from afar.

Zhou Yi reflexively raised his weapon.

This zombie was wearing the lumberjack uniform.

It was probably summoned by God.

Zhou Yi put down his weapon and slowly took a few steps back, still maintaining his vigilance.

The lumberjack zombie ignored Zhou Yi and had no desire to attack.

It walked past Zhou Yi and came before the newest small hill.

Then, Zhou Yi saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The lumberjack zombie took out pieces of rocks from its backpack and threw them at the small hill, adding bricks and tiles to the small hill that was erected high up.

After doing all this, it turned around and went back the way it came from.

Behind it, two more zombies walked back one after another, repeating the same action.

“This…”

“No way…”

“Could it be that these zombies can mine?”

Zhou Yi felt like he was going crazy.

“Impossible! How can zombies help players mine?”

“This is illogical!”

He immediately followed the zombies, wanting to see what had happened with his own eyes.

Five minutes later, Zhou Yi arrived at the mountain wall.

After one night, a ten-meter-deep hole had been dug in the mountain wall

The group of zombies he saw yesterday were waving their stone pickaxes and pounding the mountain wall with all their might.

Zhou Yi silently sat down.

He didn’t know what was going on…

His mood suddenly became bad again.
