Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 438: Capture the Fortress

In the command room of Dark Knights’ branch.

Ovidius, the chief commander, was highly anxious.

He had also sensed the threat from the zombie team on the right side of their fortress.

Ever since the zombie team appeared, bad news had been reported to the command room one after another.

“Commander! The alarm on the wall is activated!”

“The durability of the defense at the east has been greatly reduced!”

“The space tearing device needs to be recharged. We have to replenish more blue crystals!”

“The opening of the No.7 light cannon turret has been damaged due to overheating. We can no longer use it, and we must repair it immediately!”

“Elite Team No.2 is in position. They are replenishing the defense of point No.8...”

“There are too many zombies, and their defense is powerful. We need heavy weapons to deal effective damage to them.”

“They... they’re climbing up!”

Looking at the zombie team outside through the surveillance screen, Ovidius broke out in a cold sweat.

It was the first time Dark Knights had encountered such a high-level zombie team that had been mutated. At this time, they had no idea how to deal with it.

If they let the zombies do whatever they wanted, they would keep scratching the wall outside the fortress.

However, what they could do was more than this. Many mutated zombies would extend vines from their bodies and use them to climb up to the automatic turrets on the upper side of the fortress to scratch the turrets.

If they attack the zombies immediately, once their HP dropped to a certain level, the zombies would instantly release powerful self-destruct skills. That would cause a large amount of damage to the automatic turrets and the walls of the fortress!

However, if they continued to ignore the zombies, the automatic turrets on the walls would be destroyed.

What should they do?!

Ovidius felt they would be in big trouble no matter which choice he made.

Just as he hesitated, a player suddenly turned pale and shouted, “Commander! An alarm has appeared on the east defense! It has reached the threshold level!”

“Boom!”

Before Ovidius could respond, a loud noise came to the ears of all the players.

The command room shook violently.

Then, there was a dead silence.

The entire battlefield also fell into temporary silence.

“Roar!”

A moment later, Scavenger Army on the battlefield let out even more berserk roars.

The wall on the right side of the fortress of Dark Knights’ branch collapsed, leaving a huge hole.

“Haha! Follow me! Let’s charge in!”

“Let’s go! Now!”

The commanders of all the regions of Scavenger Army were excited when they saw this. They roared and led their team members to charge into Dark Knights’ branch building from the hole.

Once they entered, Scavenger Army’s close combat advantage would be fully activated!

“We finally make it.”

Seeing the wall on the east side of the fortress collapse, Fang Heng relaxed.

He immediately ordered the zombie clones to enter the fortress and then poured a bottle of coffee into his mouth.

“Osborne.”

“Here! Commander!”

Osborne suppressed the excitement in his heart.

They did it!

They had succeeded for real!

Although he fully trusted Fang Heng, Osborne had been worried whether their team would be able to break through Dark Knights’ branch fortress.

It was known that the previous commander, Cook Barn, had spent a few years of planning but still failed to take down this branch.

But now, Fang Heng had actually made it.

Within 24 hours since Fang Heng had taken over Scavenger Army, he had not only completed the development and optimization of the divine potion but also had broken through one of the three major branches of Dark Knights!

Osborne was agitated.

He had a strong feeling.

Scavenger army would definitely be able to create unprecedented glory under Fang Heng’s leadership!

Osborne took a deep breath and tried his best to appear less excited.

“Commander Fang Heng, we did it!”

“Not yet. It’s not time to celebrate yet. We still have some way to go.”

Fang Heng was a little worried that Dark Knights would play some tricks. He raised his head and looked at the fortress not far away. “Take a small team. We’ll follow in and take a look together.”

“Yes, sir!”

...

At the periphery of the abandoned mine area where Dark Knights’ branch fortress was located, a group of players from Federation who came for help was setting up a defensive line on the road.

A gathering of Scavenger Army and Lickers were across from them.

Both sides were separated by a distance of a few hundred meters.

They had been in a stalemate for nearly half an hour.

Qu Chengwu, the commander of Federation, had tried several times to lead his team to charge forward. A group of Lickers would charge out and stop them when they were halfway out.

Coupled with Scavenger Army’s powerful firepower, they had failed and were forced to retreat again and again.

A few minutes ago, another two groups of player guilds had just arrived and joined the team.

Qu Chengwu prepared to try again.

Just as he was about to give the order to attack, Qu Chengwu received an urgent message on his personal survival radio.

“Report: Scavenger Army has entered Dark Knights’ shelter. Some Tyrant form zombies are heading in your direction. You’d better retreat quickly.”

What?

They had been taken down?!

So soon?

Qu Chengwu was shocked when he saw the news.

It had only been an hour, and Dark Knights’ branch couldn’t hold on anymore?!

Was Scavenger Army crazy? How did their combat strength get improved so soon?

Qu Chengwu frowned.

He realized that his team was in trouble now.

Once Scavenger Army completely took charge of Dark Knights’ branch, they would deal with Federation next when they were free.

Even Dark Knights could not withstand Fang Heng’s frontal attack. How could they?

“Sir, we are ready to attack.”

“Stop it. There’s no need.”

Qu Chengwu said in a deep voice, “According to the latest news, Dark Knights’ branch has been occupied. Prepare to retreat in batches. We must be careful and minimize the casualties.”

The soldier’s expression changed slightly.

“Yes, sir!”

...

The branch of Dark Knights.

In the teleportation hall on the second floor underground.

Fang Heng stood in front of the large-scale space tearing device.

Two tyrants followed behind him as Fang Heng’s bodyguards, one on his left and one on his right.

Gunshots could be heard from the passage outside from time to time.

The space tearing device in front of him had long stopped working.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. He stepped forward, squatted down, and reached out to touch the cold mechanical device.

“Hint: You have discovered a damaged large-scale space tearing device.”

“Hint: It’s detected that you have mechanical maintenance skills and the blueprint of the space tearing device. You are regarded to be able to repair the device.”

“Hint: According to the assessment, its current damage is 37%. It can’t be used but is repairable currently. The repair requires 21 advanced precision devices, 11 special alloy metal wires, and 1 wrench. The success rate of repair is 88%. The damage reduction will probably be 0.02%-0.2%.”

What a pleasant surprise!

Fang Heng didn’t expect to find a large-scale space tearing device here.

And it could be repaired and used.

After all, the space tearing devices that could be made in every game world were limited.
