Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2933: The KeyEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Watching Fang Heng and Charlene leave, Benny and an elderly man with graying beard emerged from a secret compartment behind them.

They had witnessed the entire conversation between Augustine and Fang Heng.

Augustine bowed respectfully to the newcomers and said, ”Mr. President.”

”Well done.”

Jasper, the current Vice President of the Federation’s Western region, was already in his seventies. His hair was white, and his heavy eyelids drooped down, giving the impression that he could barely see.

To Jasper, Fang Heng and Charlene were nothing more than pawns under control.

”The ’lock’ is the key to controlling them. We can give them a little taste of power, but under no circumstances are they to ever truly obtain the method to unlock it. You need to control the degree—understand?”

Augustine nodded respectfully and said, ”Yes, Mr. President.”

Benny frowned slightly as he listened to their conversation.

”Benny, is there something you want to say?”

”Jasper, Fang Heng and Charlene are very powerful, and they’re not fools. Tricks like this won’t fool them. They know exactly how we view them. Their cooperation now is only temporary...”

”Benny.”

Jasper looked at him and interrupted, ”You need to understand one thing—no matter how powerful they are in the game, in the real world, they are no threat to us. Not now, not ever!”

Benny sighed inwardly, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He could understand the thinking of the Western District Federation’s leadership—but he did not agree with it.

Using Fang Heng and Charlene, these monsters?

The risk was too high.

If something went wrong, they could suffer a serious backlash.

Augustine continued, ”Mr. President, there is another matter to report. We reviewed the tasks Emery was working on, and during inventory, we found that he took the spaceship key, which had recently been placed under temporary supervision by the Inspection Department.”

”What?” Jasper’s eyes widened in anger. He said in a deep voice, ”The spaceship key must be recovered at all costs.”

”And while I know Fang Heng and Charlene can provide great support for the military’s current strategic operations, I will not allow any individual to rise above our Western District Federation.” Jasper’s tone softened slightly. ”Your departments must work together. If Fang Heng and Charlene go out of control, they must be eliminated completely. No loose ends.”

”Yes, sir.”

...

One of the worlds of the Black Fog crystal.

Deep within a cavern, Emery suddenly became alert. He looked back toward the entrance of the cave.

Inhumans.

More than ten Inhumans entered in a line, pushing large crates into the cavern.

Emery looked at them with a hint of displeasure and asked, ”You’re late. Why are you so slow?”

”Respected one, we encountered another respected one during our mission.”

Alien Patriarch Malcolm stepped forward from the crowd. With a look of respect, he explained, ”The respected one instructed us to open several new passages outside, which delayed us.”

”Passages?”

”Yes. The passages connect the outside directly with the cavern. It took time up front, but soon, large quantities of supplies will flow continuously into the cavern to support the queen bug.”

”In addition, we are continuing to expand the cavern to make transporting more supplies easier.”

Fang Heng!

That guy!

Emery narrowed his eyes and then revealed a look of excitement.

Now he could be certain—Fang Heng was indeed under the control of the Seed of Ouroboros!

He was actively digging passages and accelerating the transport of resources to nourish the Seed of Ouroboros!

”Really? How many more resources are outside?”

Patriarch Malcolm frowned at the question and said, ”Not sure, but the amount should keep increasing. Respected one, would you like to go out and see for yourself?”

”Let’s go. Take me there.”

Emery, excited, immediately got up and followed Malcolm out.

Along the way, many aliens were digging and expanding the tunnels. Crates filled with ore were constantly being pushed forward by the tribespeople.

They finally arrived outside the cavern.

The scene before Emery was shocking.

At the foot of the mountain, numerous new caves had appeared.

Mutated licker creatures were continuously emerging from the caverns, piling up scattered ores and native monster corpses at the base of the mountain.

Around the mountain base, a large amount of crystal ore and local creature corpses had already accumulated.

The aliens were fully mobilized, gathering, sorting, and packaging the resources. After categorizing the ones the Seed of Ouroboros could absorb, they manually transported them back into the mountain.

Seeing this, Emery was deeply shaken. His right fist clenched, and his hand trembled slightly.

Fang Heng!

He had always known Fang Heng’s summoned creatures were powerful. But he had never expected that these summoned creatures could be so terrifying in resource gathering and monster hunting!

The Licker swarm was almost plundering the entire world, draining all of its resources!

Very soon, the shock in Emery’s eyes turned into excitement.

At this rate, the Seed of Ouroboros would reach Phase 2 in no time.

By then...

Even if the Federation discovered the Seed of Ouroboros, he wouldn’t be afraid!

Hahaha!

Fang Heng!

What a treasure he had found!

By that time, he would escape with all the data and information!

”Emery.”

Suddenly, he heard Fang Heng’s voice behind him. Startled, Emery quickly composed himself, turned around, and nodded, ”Fang Heng, you’re back. How’s the situation with the Federation?”

”Worse than expected. They’ve already picked up your trail and are preparing for a full-scale carpet search across all Black Crystal domains. I think they’ll find this place soon.”

Fang Heng paused and then asked, ”Since the Black Fog prism is the link between the Federation’s Star Map HQ and this world, why not just destroy it?”

”Because the passage isn’t solely dependent on the prism. As far as I know, there’s a secondary small passage connected to the real world’s Black Fog entry point. That exit can’t be destroyed. And on the other side, it’s under the Western District Federation’s control and tightly sealed.”

Emery explained, ”If the prism is destroyed, the Federation will get suspicious and investigate through the other Black Fog route. We’d be discovered for sure.”

”I see,” Fang Heng said as he looked at a group of aliens gathering supplies in front. ”You know the Federation’s strength better than I do. With our current power, we can’t resist them. What’s your plan?”

”Hahahaha, don’t worry, Fang Heng. The Seed of Ouroboros I’ve cultivated is not that easy to deal with. Its power will shock you. Five days. Just give me five days, and you’ll witness a complete transformation. If the Federation dares to show up...”

Emery narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, ”I’ll make sure they drown in rivers of blood.”
