Chapter 2146 Negotiations

….
At this moment, Fang Heng could not help but frown when he saw the half-mechanical soldiers take out the special injection guns.

A special potion that could target the Hila virus and temporarily seal the zombie team!

It was not just the effect of the ‘undying body’, even the effects of the crystallized form and the original devouring body could be removed by more than 90%!

This was even more troublesome.

Of course, even without the buff of the undying body, the Lickers still inherited Fang Heng’s high HP and attributes. Each Licker had close to the HP of a commander-level monster.

In fact, the Lickers had more flesh than the tree spirits, and they could withstand dozens of times more damage.

Unfortunately, the Federation and OmniTech Company bombarded the Lickers with a large number of beam weapons. The number of Lickers’ casualties also began to increase.

It seemed like it was about time.

OmniTech Company had already organized an effective counterattack. The Lickers that had invaded the research institute during the first wave of chaos had also been wiped out.

Fang Heng glanced at the game notification.

He had more or less figured out the overall strength of the Federation and OmniTech Company.

In addition, he had also earned about 3,000 tree spirit race contribution points.

It was not a loss.

Since the enemy had taken out the virus potion, he might as well stop for now.

There was no need to fight to the death.

As he thought about it, Fang Heng started to control the Lickers to retreat.

Thinking about how the tree spirit race had just deducted his friendliness points for no reason, he felt a little unhappy.

Why should they use their Lickers to help the tree spirits?

Anyway, the tree spirits had already broken through the blockade of the mechanical guards.

Let the tree spirits go up and hold them off first and see what happens.

The tree spirits had just taken advantage of the time when Fang Heng and OmniTech Company were fighting to break into the campus. They had already seen the research institute building in front of them and were taking the opportunity to break through the outer force field defense network and enter the research institute area.

Who would have thought that the Lickers in front would suddenly start retreating?

What was the meaning of this?

What happened?

The Lickers were much more agile than the tree people. They retreated as they wished, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

For a moment, the tree spirits found themselves on the other side of the battlefield. They were about to face the aggressive Federation and OmniTech Company team alone.

Was this a joke?

How could they win?

The tree spirits had no choice but to fight.

The tree spirit race was already in a slightly weaker position. Now that they had gone deep into the forest alone, they naturally received a heavy blow from the Federation.

The casualties of the tree people began to accelerate.

“Those monsters retreated? Did they encounter some special situation?”

The tree spirit elder and the others looked at the floating teleportation passage and realized that it was still operating. There were still Lickers entering the battlefield.

There didn’t seem to be any problems. Then why did they suddenly retreat?

Elder Senzo frowned and immediately sent someone to inquire.

“Go and see what happened.”

“Understood!”

Realizing that the Lickers were related to Fang Heng, a tree spirit led by several Tree Whisperers Alliance members hurried toward Yates and the others.

The tree spirits glanced at the red portal hovering in the sky and walked straight to Fang Heng.

“Human, why did you stop? Have the creatures you control continue to attack the research institute.”

Fang Heng turned to look at the tree spirit and said, “It’s a special potion from OmniTech Company, so I need…”

The tree spirit looked at Fang Heng. There was no doubt in his tone. He said in a deep voice, “Human, I don’t need to hear the reason. I repeat, continue to attack the research institute.”

Fang Heng’s face darkened as he stared at the tree spirit for a moment.

In just a few seconds, several thoughts flashed through his mind: “D*mn it, I can’t bear it anymore!”

“No, I can’t do it.”

The tree spirit did not expect Fang Heng to reject him. Surprise appeared in his eyes, and his faces turned cold, “What did you say?”

“I said I can’t do it. I think we need to reconsider our partnership.”

Fang Heng pursed his lips and said, “It’s interesting. We’re all believers of nature. I have no reason to accept your orders. Perhaps you tree spirits should accept my orders. What do you think?”

The tree spirit’s pupils trembled. He couldn’t believe that these words would come out of a human’s mouth. He stared at Fang Heng with extreme indignation in his eyes.

“Do you know what you’re saying? Human!”

Fang Heng spread his hands and said, “Do I need to repeat myself? I refuse your request.”

“Hmph, you better watch out!”

The tree spirit immediately felt that his authority had been challenged. He glared at Fang Heng with anger, snorted, and immediately led everyone back the way they came.

[Hint: The player has rejected the request of the tree spirits. The player’s friendship with the tree spirits -5.]

[Hint (triggered by the player’s early mission reward): Decreasing your friendship with the tree spirits is not the optimal way to complete the mission. Please choose carefully.]

Fang Heng glanced at the game notification and was speechless.

He had to work so hard to earn a few friendly points, but he was deducted 5 points after saying a few words?

How hilarious.

It seemed that the route after the system’s optimization was very difficult to walk.

Change your target…

At the front of the battlefield, the Federation’s half-mechanical modification team’s original target was the Lickers’ modified bodies. When they realized that the Lickers were retreating after a single attack, they immediately chased after them. They did not expect to not catch up and instead bumped into the tree spirit race’s teams blocking the way.

Was there a need to say?

Fight!

The two sides exchanged intense fire!

“Looks like this group of creatures has a unified battle strategy. The person controlling them behind the scenes…”

In the central command center of the research institute, Ji Haiting was observing the situation outside through the surveillance camera. His eyes were focused on Fang Heng on the screen.

He was even more interested in the Lickers.

“Command post! The Lickers have left the attack range, please instruct us!”

The director of the research institute said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry about them if they leave. Teams C and D, stay behind to observe the Lickers. The rest of you, deal with the tree spirits first! The current number of tree spirits is already their limit. Deplete them!”

“Understood!”

The large-scale war mechanical and spider-type main combat machines once again aimed their firepower at the tree spirits.

The tree people only looked a little scary. However, in reality, their movement speed was slow, and they could only attack in close combat.

In front of the large mechanical creatures, they were just a bunch of live targets!

Under the dense energy beam attack, the number of tree people summons rapidly decreased!

Although there were still a large number of tree spirits shooting long-range arrows and vines dragging large war mechanical into the ground, the casualty ratio of the two sides was clearly on a different level!

The tree spirits soon realized that the situation on the battlefield was not good.

If this continued when all the tree people in front of him who were acting as meat shields were exhausted…

This battle was bound to fail!
