Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2180  Sensing

”Hey,” Fang Heng pondered, looking at Heli. He asked, ”The relevant data and information about the spawns are stored in the central terminal, right? How can I access it?”

Heliʼs expression changed instantly upon hearing his question.

”The data is encrypted with the spawnsʼ special mental language. Even if you copy it all, you wonʼt be able to decrypt it...”

”Is that so...”

As Fang Heng was speaking, Raven, surrounded by the tree spirit race, walked over and looked at Heli with a serious tone, ”Human, whatʼs underneath here?”

”Huh?”

Fang Heng, feeling puzzled, turned to look at the area Raven was gesturing towards.

On the right side of the hall, there was a circular mechanical device on the floor that could be opened, leading downwards.

The entrance to the passage leading to the lower area?

Fang Heng remembered Heli explaining earlier that the lower area was where the energy hub for the entire spiritual domain internet was located.

”Itʼs the entrance to the energy hub area below. Iʼve never been inside, but I know itʼs guarded by the spawns, and no one is allowed to enter.”

Raven stared at Heli and commanded, ”Open it.”

Heli looked at Raven, not daring to refuse. She walked to the side of the room and gently pressed a green button on the wall.

”Ka...”

The metal passage on the ground retracted, revealing a circular passage leading downwards.

Looking down the passage, there was a deep, azure expanse below.

It was a winding, downward-sloping circular passage.

It seemed very deep.

At a glance, nothing could be clearly seen.

The passage was almost perpendicular, not seeming to be prepared for human passage.

Raven asked softly, ”Fang Heng, do you feel it? The ripple of natural energy.”

What?

Fang Heng looked at Raven with a hint of skepticism.

Natural energy?

Raven stood at the entrance of the circular passage, looking down at the deep blue area below with eyes shimmering with thoughtful consideration. He nodded and said, ”I sense a very powerful energy force field below, absorbing the natural energy belonging to our world.”

Fang Heng furrowed his brows.

Natural energy?

Indeed, he had a slight sense of it.

But what exactly was this so-called force field absorption?

”What does that mean?”

”Since the interruption of the passage between the Inner World and the Outside world began, our people have been establishing gathering places in the Outside world and constantly trying various rituals to repair the teleportation passage. But at some point, we gradually realized that the worldʼs power was continuously dissipating, being continuously absorbed by a special force.”

”At first, we didnʼt pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a natural fluctuation. But as the natural energy gradually weakened, our strength also decreased, until finally, we discovered that the source of the weakening of natural energy originated from the spiritual domain blockade in the upper realm.”

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

Indeed, the spiritual domain blockade network also could absorb energy.

”Raven, what are you trying to say?”

”I can sense that the source of the absorbing energy should come from below. The upper realmʼs domain blockade network should only be externally constructed, serving as a diffusion mechanism.”

Raven turned his head to look at Fang Heng, speaking slowly and deliberately, ”We need to completely destroy it.”

Fang Hengʼs pupils contracted abruptly.

Destroy it!

At that moment, Fang Heng suddenly realized, and his gaze instantly sharpened.

Goodness! The tree spirit race!

Raven and his group were well-prepared.

Their teleportation of Vannes and his team wasnʼt just to assist Fang Heng.

They had planned this from the beginning.

Besides temporarily interrupting the spiritual domain blockade to open the passage to the Inner World, the tree spirit race also wanted to completely destroy the spiritual domain network!

Raven continued, ”I can sense that the source absorbing natural energy is located below. Once we destroy it, the source of power that has been suppressing our tree spirit race will completely dissipate, and the entire spiritual domain blockade network will cease to exist.”

Since the tree spirit race first sensed the gradual decline of power and suppression, they have been searching for the source of this suppression force.

External rumors suggested that the suppression originated from the spiritual domain blockade network enveloping the upper layers of the planet.

These were all based on external rumors and various data analyses.

The tree spirit race did not have concrete evidence.

But today, Raven sensed it definitively.

Something was hidden below, gradually absorbing natural energy!

Before coming here, he had discussed this with the Great Elder, Senzo.

The tree spirit race was not satisfied with just temporarily severing the spiritual domain network blockade. If possible, they wanted to completely destroy the entire spiritual domain blockade network set up by the Federation and the spawns, liberating the entire tree spirit race!

[Hint: The player has triggered a special mission-Ravenʼs clue.]

Mission title: Ravenʼs clue.

Mission difficulty: SS.

Mission description: While infiltrating the Federationʼs secret research center, Raven discovered an abnormal source of natural energy that is located below the central research center. Raven will conduct an in-depth investigation. He hopes that you can join him.

Mission requirement: The player follows Raven to investigate the truth.

Mission reward: Main storyline mission completion rate.

”Fang Heng, donʼt go!”

Ji Haiting heard Fang Hengʼs conversation with the tree spirit race through the walkie-talkie and immediately issued a warning on the communication channel.

”The area below is the energy hub of the entire spiritual domain network. It is extremely dangerous. The central area is guarded by the spawns themselves, strictly prohibiting outsiders from entering. Fang Heng, donʼt go in!”

Fang Hengʼs heart skipped a beat. Findd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐velbin(.)com

The more dangerous a place was, and the more people were prohibited from entering, the more Fang Heng felt the urge to explore it.

Moreover...

The mission reward was also related to the completion rate of the main storyline mission.

After a moment of silence, Fang Heng turned to Raven and said, ”If I said I wanted to stop you...”

”I advise you not to.”

Raven glanced at him, a hint of warning in his eyes, then nodded to Vannes beside him.

”Humph.”

Vannes cast a cold glance at Fang Heng, grunted, and signaled the tree spirit team behind him to prepare to act.

”Ka, ka, ka...”

Vines overflowed from Vannes, entwining around the edges of the downward passage. Using the vines as support, Vannes slowly crawled down the passage. The other members of the tree spirit tribe followed suit.

Soon, Vannes and his group disappeared into the depths of the winding passage. From below, only the faint sound of vines scraping against the walls could be heard.

The blue passage seemed like an invisible abyss, swallowing Vannes and his companions whole.

”You two stay here.”

Raven glanced at the passage a few times, beckoned two tree spirits to stay outside and guard, then followed into the passage.

Was it worth it?

Fang Heng stood at the entrance of the passage, pondering for a moment. He hadnʼt thought of directly stopping the tree spirits from going in to investigate. After all, it was a special mission, and it also involved progress in the main storyline.

”The tree spirits...” Fang Heng murmured to himself, contacting Ji Haiting through his earpiece, ”Boss Ji, can you hear me? How much longer do you need over there?”
