Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2562  Storm of the Death Realm

”The death realm storm outside the mausoleum had condensed to a certain extent. The undead council believed that continuing our exploration posed too much risk, and they ordered us to retreat immediately to regroup with the external instructors, who would protect us as we left...”

Tan Shuo paused and continued, ”If the situation changes, they will use the necromancy artifact to take us away.”

Hearing that there would be an artifact to help, Li Shaoqiang immediately relaxed.

He had to admit that while the necromancy faction might not be great at fighting, they were quite reliable when it came to their own.

Plus, with an artifact to assist, it was a privilege like no other.

”Mr. Fang, how are you? Have you recovered? Can you hold on and leave with us?”

Fang Heng opened his eyes, paused his mental strength sorting, and nodded, ”Iʼm fine, but I donʼt want to leave just yet. The mission rewards are right in front of us, and it feels a bit unsatisfying to leave now.”

The trial mission from Empress Persephone was still ongoing.

Moreover, special missions had time and regional limitations.

If they left now, the mission would be considered a failure, rendering all their previous efforts in vain.

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang exchanged glances.

Indeed, they felt a strong sense of reluctance. But their abilities were limited; they hadnʼt been able to participate in the fierce battles earlier—just cheering from the sidelines didnʼt have any real impact.

The true combat strength was solely Fang Heng.

Yet, after enduring those two brutal fights, Fang Hengʼs condition was far from optimal.

Fang Heng stood up.

”Donʼt worry about me. Weʼve come this far; how can we not check out Empress Persephoneʼs mausoleum?”

Wait, was he serious?

Li Shaoqiang and the others looked at Fang Heng, sensing he was serious, which made them a bit anxious.

Fang Heng was aware of his own situation. All his big skills were on cooldown, and he was still suffering from the backlash effect on his mental strength. The risks were indeed significant.

If it were any other time, he would have definitely given up on the mission.

But now...

He was eager for this task. Empress Persephone needed to find a new body, which meant she was likely gravely injured and currently in a weakened state.

Just moments ago, he had taken down the death knight protecting her.

This could be his chance to gain something valuable!

Fang Heng was unwilling to give up until he was completely cornered.

Fang Heng took one last look at the game hints. The good news was that it had taken him less than an hour to deal with the death knight. There was still plenty of time left for the mission, enough for him to make some preparations!

For example...

Abe Akayaʼs summoning magic array!

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo watched as Fang Heng slowly approached the entrance of the Great Hall. Instead of rushing in, he turned back to them.

”You two are somewhat familiar with alchemy magic arrays, right? I need your help with something.”

Fang Heng crouched down and began pulling out materials for setting up the magic array from his backpack.

At the same time, the heavy doors of the Great Hall creaked open. With the sealing ability lost, several robust fusion Tyrant forms pushed the heavy metal door inward.

A swarm of Lickers quickly poured through the door, rapidly condensing into flesh cocoons.

From each opened cocoon, vine zombie clones crawled out, making their way to Fang Heng. They extended their vines, gently wrapping around the magic array materials, and began arranging the magic array within the Great Hall.

What the hell?

Zombie clone?

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo stared in confusion, slowly raising their heads to look at Fang Heng with puzzled expressions.

Setting up a magic array in advance?

Was this preparation for dealing with the mausoleum of Empress Persephone?

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the undead council were also observing Fang Hengʼs actions through the mirror.

After a moment of silence, the instructors began to whisper among themselves.

Fang Heng and his companions had clearly expressed their determination not to give up and leave.

But were they really setting up a magic array?

And using zombie creatures to do so?

In the past, there had been instances where summoners utilized summoned beings to assist in arranging magic arrays. Scholars of summoning would contract elite creatures capable of manipulating magic arrays to harness their power.

But to summon so many at once?

And to use zombies?

This was unheard of!

What was even more baffling was what Fang Heng was trying to accomplish with this.

What were his true intentions?

”Chairman,” the necromancy assistant asked with curiosity, ”Didnʼt Fang Heng receive the message from the stone slab?”

”No, the stone slab is intact. Theyʼve received the message. It seems Fang Heng has his own considerations and may not want to withdraw so easily,” Dickey replied, nodding in agreement. ”I think Fang Heng is preparing for the exploration of Empress Persephoneʼs mausoleum.”

The others, upon hearing this, began to discuss more animatedly.

Was it true?

Did he really want to continue the exploration?

The risks were incredibly high.

As they observed the mirror, they suddenly realized that Fang Heng was not setting up a medium-sized magic array but rather a super-sized one.

Georgi watched the mirror for a moment before asking, ”Dickey, do you think he has a chance of success?”

”I donʼt know,” Dickey said with a smile. ”This kid often surprises us, but personally, Iʼm willing to give him a hundred percent trust.”

”Hmm...”

”But... everyone.”

Another elder from the Undead Council looked at the projection on the other side, his eyes filled with concern. ”The undead storm outside the mausoleum is rapidly intensifying. Fang Heng doesnʼt have much time left to withdraw.”

Georgi glanced at the projection to his right, then lowered his head in thought. He spoke generously, ”Everyone, since we canʼt persuade Fang Heng at this point, the best we can do is to give him our full support. Letʼs try to contact him through the stone slab and warn him about the risks outside the mausoleum. We should see if thereʼs anything else we can do to help.”

”Understood.”

...

It took a full five hours to complete the magic array in the Great Hall of the death knight. Fang Heng stepped into the center of the array and placed his hand on it.

His mental strength activated!

Whoosh!!!

The entire massive magic array suddenly erupted with a greenish-blue glow, slowly starting to turn.

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang watched as the array was completed and cautiously moved closer to Fang Heng, observing the magic array intently.

After a moment, the greenish-blue light emanating from the array began to fade.

Huh?

Itʼs gone?

Did it fail?

As Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo were filled with confusion, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
