Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2689  Canʼt Hold On

The undead council was unaware of the exact direction of the passageʼs exit in the Black Rain World; they were simply waiting for the Dark Clan to provide a response once they arrived there.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Teacher Gu Luo received the news.

Perfect!

The rendezvous was successful!

Apparently, their luck was good. The exit of the Dark Clanʼs passage was located in an underground black market cavern in a city of the Black Rain World, a city established by a faction opposing the Holy Court.

Members of the undead faction there sensed the aura of the death realm and immediately gathered, notifying the undead instructor, who then fully guarded the passage.

Fang Heng nodded and began controlling his zombie clones.

The zombie team began attempting to transport materials recently gathered from the death realm into the Black Rain World.

In addition, a large amount of materials and resources that had been collected and piled up in the death realm were also starting to slowly transfer, first accumulating near the Black Stone Mountain passage.

After all, these materials would eventually be sent out through the teleportation passage, so they began preparing.

...

Black Rain World.

Due to severe pollution, the entire worldʼs rainfall has turned into a foul-smelling black liquid, and for 300 days out of the 365 days a year, black rain continuously falls.

Thus, the world became known as Black Rain World.

This world has been embroiled in constant conflict.

Originally, due to the worldʼs unique nature, the Holy Court was relegated to a small, isolated area under the suppression of the undead and various local factions.

But just a day ago, with the Holy Courtʼs decision to wage an all-out war on the undead, the arrival of powerful knight legions from the Holy Realm has drastically increased their strength and shifted the balance of power.

Regional Bishop Everett, with the help of the Holy Realm knights, seized this opportunity to rapidly expand the Holy Courtʼs influence, trying everything possible to force the Undead faction out of Black Rain World.

The war began immediately.

It continued well into the night.

The Holy Courtʼs military operations against the undead were relentless, bolstered by the assistance of the Holy Realm knights. The Holy Court advanced steadily, attacking the areas ravaged by the undead.

However, Black Rain World was vast, and the undead forces were spread thin. They also exploited the situation to provoke conflicts between the Holy Court and the local factions.

Despite the chaos, Regional Bishop Everett showed no signs of fatigue. He kept a close watch on the frontlines, constantly gathering intelligence, carefully devising attack plans.

After successfully clearing several strongholds occupied by the undead, a group of Holy Court attendants hurriedly arrived.

”What? Youʼre saying that a powerful aura of death was detected in the area around Dark City?”

Upon hearing the news, Everettʼs brow furrowed in concern.

Dark City?

That place?

The Dark City region was a haven for various evil factions, not just the undead.

Why had the undead suddenly emerged there?

What were they up to?

Perfect!

Seize the opportunity while the Holy Realmʼs forces are still present and take them all down!

Root out the evil completely!

Regional Bishop Everett immediately issued orders to coordinate with the Holy Realmʼs Temple Knight Legion that had arrived, shifting their target. They were now preparing to launch an attack on Dark City.

”Get ready. I will go personally to inspect the situation.”

”Archbishop, you...”

The attendant looked surprised but quickly nodded, ”Understood, I will arrange for the teleportation passage right away.”

...

An hour later, Everett and his team arrived at the outskirts of Dark City.

Looking up at the distant city, a heavy expression settled on Everettʼs face.

Dark City was a stronghold built by the Hungry Wolf Gang, housing various evil factions, most of which were in opposition to the Holy Court.

In the past, whenever he had come here, he had never sensed such a strong aura of the undead.

But today, it was different. Even from a distance, the Holy Courtʼs guard legion had already detected the overwhelming death aura spilling out from the city.

Undead!

What were they up to?

The Holy Realm had sent three squads of knights to provide reinforcement in Black Rain World. The squad accompanying Everett was just one of them—a hundred-strong team.

The squad leader, Captain Herran, looked towards Everett and spoke, ”Archbishop, as you said, the death aura here is highly unusual.”

Regional Bishop Everett nodded gravely, cupping his hands in respect as he replied, ”It could be part of the undeadʼs plot. I ask for the Temple Knight Legionʼs aid, to help us completely eradicate the source of this evil.”

”It shall be done.”

Herran nodded in agreement, raising his holy long sword high.

”Charge! Let us purify evil once and for all!”

He immediately led his knights into a fierce charge towards Dark City.

Dark City reacted as if facing a dire threat, releasing a dense barrage of black arrows from the city walls. The arrows were coated with corrupting toxins, greatly increasing their power.

However, the Holy Court knights from the Holy Realm were far stronger than the guards on the city walls had imagined.

The barrage of black arrows exploded against the knightsʼ holy shields, but they couldnʼt break through the outer defenses.

The Holy Realm knights pressed forward, quickly closing the distance to the city walls.

”These Holy Court lunatics! What on earth have they been taking?” the guards on the walls exclaimed in shock.

They had never expected the Holy Court to suddenly launch such a fierce attack on Dark City.

It was like a rabid dog biting wildly!

Divine beams of light constantly shot from the priests in the back of the Holy Court formation, relentlessly striking the city walls. The already dilapidated exterior of the city quickly began to crumble under the holy bombardment.

”Donʼt let them breach the walls! If they do, weʼre all dead!” a few players shouted, rallying the defenders.

In a shadowy corner, several undead faction players gathered together, looking at one another with solemn expressions.

Not long ago, they had met with their undead faction mentor and triggered a high-tier mission, which tasked them with tracking the Holy Courtʼs movements and attempting to intercept their team.

This was madness!

The mission sounded easy enough.

But stopping a knight legion from the Holy Realm?

Who could possibly hold them off?

The mission reward was tempting, but the penalty for failure was severe.

They had already committed to the mission, and there was no turning back.

So, after receiving the task, the players quickly sought to ally with various factions in the Dark City to try and resist the Holy Court.

But as the high-tier knight legion of the Holy Court joined the battle, the tide of the conflict swiftly shifted in the Holy Courtʼs favor.

The hundred or so knights from the Holy Realm were like invincible warriors—nothing could pierce their armor!

No one could stop them!

Seeing that the Holy Realm knights were about to reach the city walls, it was only a matter of time before they set up ladders to breach the defenses.

”What do we do?” the undead faction players exchanged glances, worry clear in their eyes.

”Letʼs go! We need to report back to the mentor!”

The power of the Holy Realmʼs knights was on an entirely different level. Even if they stayed, they would not stand a chance against them.

They had no choice but to retreat and report the situation to their mentor, hoping that the mentor would find a way to deal with the situation.

With their decision made, the players immediately turned around and headed towards the underground ghost market passage in the central region of Dark City.
