Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2167  Pursuing Troops

Fang Heng made an effort to calm himself down and once again sorted out his thoughts.

Leaving aside the matter with the tree spirit race for now, the issue with the spawns had to be addressed as soon as possible.

From their previous encounters, he found that resisting the pursuit of F-level adversaries was relatively easy.

However, if the difficulty level continued to increase, he was not confident he could hold out for much longer.

Time was limited, and he couldnʼt afford to delay any further.

Seeing that there was still more than an hour left before the spawnsʼ next wave of pursuit, Fang Heng did not stay any longer. He was afraid that the spawns would find Abe Akaya, and it would only be more troublesome.

”The spawns are already here. Iʼll go out and bring them around first. You guys can think of other ways.”

”Mm,” Cleriway nodded gently and said, ”Iʼll think of other ways to control the growth of the sacred tree and help it increase its energy quickly...”

He had to take things one step at a time. There was still a mission concerning the spawns, so Fang Heng had no choice but to divert his attention to deal with the pursuing spawns.

...

Two days later.

[Hint: The player has persisted under the pursuit of the spawns for 56 hours, and the quality of rewards for the player has increased.]

[Hint: The playerʼs current approximate coordinates have been locked. The playerʼs current danger rating (internal rating of spawns) has been raised to C-level.]

In mid-air, Fang Heng maintained his bat form and swiftly flew through the sky.

Around him, a dense array of white spatial transmission points continually appeared.

One after another, disc-shaped mechanical entities emerged from the transition space, then came a barrage of intense blue light beams!

The spawn pursuers stood on the high-speed flying prism and chased after Fang Heng.

”The number is increasing...”

Fang Heng sensed the spawns chasing after him, and his heart sank.

From the beginning, they were spawns scouts, but now, the spawns had already sent out their official combat unit, the spawn warriors.

Moreover, the number of spawns was also gradually increasing!

These spawn warriors could inflict long-range psychic damage that bypassed external defenses, targeting the sea of consciousness directly. Each attack dealt over twenty thousand points of damage.

It would be fine if it was only a small number of pursuers. As the number of pursuers increased, the frequency of the spawnsʼ attacks increased. Even with the Vampire King bloodline and the regeneration of the undying body, he was a little unable to withstand it.

”Whoosh!!”

While he was thinking, Fang Heng reverted to his human form and forcefully withstood the psychic attacks of several spawns. He charged at a spawn at close range!

A dark golden light flashed in his hand and the great holy sword slashed forward!

”Boom!!!”

The great sword, imbued with tremendous force, slammed fiercely against the red crystalline barrier surrounding the spawns, sending them hurtling backward!

”Buzz...”

The holy ripples emitted by the great holy sword rapidly expanded outward!

The spawn warriors surrounding Fang Heng, who were attempting to impose mental assaults, were affected by the rippleʼs impact. Their movements halted abruptly as their spellcasting was interrupted.

Fang Heng accelerated in mid-air, swiftly pursuing the spawns who had been knocked back!

Seizing the opportunity, he aimed to strike them down!

Closing in on the spawn warriors, Fang Heng swung the great holy sword once more, aiming to deliver a powerful blow!

”Bang!”

”Bang! Bang Bang!!!”

The crystalline shield of the spawns was more than twice as hard as that of ordinary spawns!

Fang Heng swung his great holy sword all the way and attacked fiercely, suppressing the spawns and forcing them to retreat!

”Boom!!!”

After five or six consecutive slashes, the crystalline shield finally reached its limit and shattered with a bang!

Chi!

Amidst the scattered fragments of the crystalline barrier, a blood spike condensed from blood instantly pierced through the crystal gemstone at the location of the spawnsʼ hearts.

After two full days of entanglement and two days of relentless pursuit, Fang Heng finally managed to grasp some tactics for battling the spawns.

In reality, the spawns were physically frail, relying on external crystalline shields for defense.

If the external shield was destroyed without immediately delivering a fatal blow to the spawns, they would immediately utilize their transition ability to escape.

Furthermore, their fatal point was the special gemstone located on their chest.

So...

A fatal strike must be ensured!

The blood spikes pierced through the spawnsʼ bodies. Their bodies trembled rapidly, and then they emitted strange distortions, quickly turning into ashes in the air.

A gray crystal remained in the air and slowly descended.

Fang Heng reached out and caught it.

[Hint: The player has killed a spawn warrior. The player has obtained a low-level spirit gemstone*1.]

[Item: Spirit gemstone.]

Quality: Low

Description: The player lacks the relevant skill, unable to obtain this item information.

There was a chance that a spirit gemstone would drop when killing spawns.

Fang Heng had previously used his omniscient eyes to preliminarily appraise the spirit gemstone, identifying it as a special psychic material. For the time being, he had no immediate use for it. Hearing from Black Castle that it was quite valuable, they were willing to offer a high price for it.

Currently, the passage opened by the sacred tree Abe Akaya was temporarily inactive, so there was no way to proceed with the transaction. Therefore, Fang Heng decided to keep the gemstone for later.

With that in mind, Fang Heng swiftly stored the spirit gemstone in his backpack.

Eh?

Fang Heng had just finished counting the spoils of war when he frowned. He sensed a dense energy beam surging toward him from the side and had no choice but to dodge to the side again.

In just a short moment, the surrounding space had already begun to be densely covered with a layer of white material.

”The Federationʼs spatial barrier encirclement.”

Fang Heng thought to himself that it was troublesome.

They had started to build a spatial barrier again!

In the previous battles, the Federation had set up a similar encirclement. This kind of encirclement could restrict the use of spatial power, making it impossible for the secondary space projection to penetrate.

Fang Heng almost suffered a huge loss.

”Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!!”

A continuous wave of concentrated energy beams exploded.

Fang Heng quickly changed his direction, turned around, and dashed toward an abandoned factory on the right.

Seeing Fang Heng enter the abandoned factory, several spawns immediately followed him and entered the factory.

As for the large flying machines outside, they could not enter the factory area below and could only stand guard outside.

”Boom!!!”

Half a minute later, the earth shook and the entire abandoned factory exploded on the spot!

The explosionʼs shockwave engulfed the war machinesʼ circular fists nearby. Some flying machines further behind were even sent flying by the shockwave!

Swoosh!!

In the midst of thick fog, Fang Heng emerged from the billowing smoke of an abandoned factory area, gasping for air.

It was getting increasingly difficult.

Glancing back behind him, Fang Heng didnʼt linger any longer. Immediately, he transformed into his bat form and flew off into the distance.

The C-level difficulty of the spawn pursuers had him feeling overwhelmed.

Even with the abundance of explosives he had set up in the abandoned factory, it took him nearly an hour to shake off this batch of pursuers.

It was foreseeable that the next wave of pursuers would be even stronger.

This couldnʼt go on.

It seemed...

Fang Heng sighed inwardly and retrieved a magnetic card from his backpack.

Perhaps there was still one more option available.

Ji Haiting.
