Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1010 Village

“The trial this time is very strange,” Wei Tao said in a deep voice.

Fang Heng nodded his head in agreement.

To be honest, the dangerous but exciting trial process of escaping just now was not difficult.

As long as they did not seek death, even Qiu Yaokang and the few other NPCs who had taken the enhancement potions of Meteorite Company could escape successfully.

At most, they could just take more vitality potions.

Was there a need for this from the start?

The most suspicious thing was the stone box they had seen earlier.

At the thought of the box, everyone could not help but look at Tang Mingyue.

Tang Mingyue felt everyone’s gazes and raised her right hand immediately while saying innocently, “No, there’s nothing in the stone box. I swear, okay?”

“Mingyue, we just thought it was strange. Did you find anything special when you checked the box earlier?”

Tang Mingyue shook her head firmly, “There was nothing in the box. I also thought it was strange at that time, so I especially shone the flashlight in it and saw the bottom at one glance. There was really nothing.”

“What about the outside of the box? Did you discover anything outside, like patterns or something?”

“This…” Tang Mingyue’s brows were tightly knitted together as she tried hard to recall.

Fang Heng took two steps back and took out the stone box from his backpack. He threw it on the ground with a loud thud.

Seeing the box Fang Heng took out, everyone was shocked and looked at him in unison.

“It’s fine. I’ve brought the box out. It’s not too late to take a look now.”

Tang Mingyue felt as if her grievances had been redressed. She said in surprise, “Wow, brother Fang Heng, you’re a genius!”

Seeing that Fang Heng had actually brought the stone box out, Mikhael was also stunned for a moment and immediately gave Fang Heng a thumbs up, “Brother, you’re strong!”

Only then did Wei Tao realize that no wonder Fang Heng had been the last to come out. He had gone to get the box.

To think he could still make such an accurate judgment and pick up the box without any panic in such a chaotic situation. Everyone was secretly impressed.

However, on second thought, Tang Mingyue was also secretly shocked.

She had lifted the lid of the stone box herself and knew how heavy it was. How could Fang Heng bring such a heavy box out of the cave under such circumstances?

“And it’s a monster…” Tang Mingyue muttered in a low voice, looking at Fang Heng with a bit of unnaturalness in her eyes.

Wei Tao didn’t think too much about it and brought the players over. They surrounded the stone box and started to study it.

It was indeed as Wei Tao had guessed. The exterior of the box was engraved with some patterns.

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, most of the lines were already a little blurry, and they couldn’t see what those patterns were at all.

“How is it? Did anyone find anything?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Only Sandy smacked his lips and said, “The lines carved on the box are a kind of exquisite art. It’s just that it’s seriously damaged after a long time. Fang Heng, help me find some tools when we enter the city. I can find a way to repair it. By then, we can sell it for a good price…”

When everyone heard that Sandy could repair the stone box, their eyes lit up again.

At least it was a clue.

“This trial mission is really strange. Anyway, let’s be careful and return to Hani first according to the mission line’s hints.”

Tang Mingyue asked, “By the way, do any of you have any impression of the city Hani? Can you confirm the world we’re in?”

“I can’t be sure for now,” Wei Tao also felt that the situation was tricky, “There are many cities in the Barbaric World. I can’t remember if there’s a place called Tani.”

From the moment they entered the game, everyone had been in constant confusion and felt like they were being led by the nose by the mission.

“Hmm. The mission has a time limit. Let’s hurry to Hani and find the Quartermaster. The problem is, we don’t know where Hani is.”

“I’ll go take a look,” After saying that, Fang Heng transformed into a bat and flew high into the sky under the gaze of everyone.

He looked into the distance while flying in a spiral toward the sky.

Soon, he noticed smoke rising in the west.

It was a human village.

Following this, Fang Heng returned to his human form and landed in front of the crowd, “There’s a village about six kilometers to the west. We can go there and ask about Hani City. We can also get some information and supplies while we’re there.”

The players looked at Fang Heng, who had the ability to fly at a high altitude, with envy.

“Alright, time is of the essence. Let’s go.”

The group did not delay any longer. After a short rest, they began to organize their troops and set off in the direction of the western town.

Fang Heng looked at the stone box left on the ground and sighed heavily.

“What’s wrong?” Mikhael walked to Fang Heng’s side and asked, puzzled, “You seem to be under a lot of pressure.”

Fang Heng forced a smile and pointed to the box, “The box is too heavy. I can’t move it.”

“Indeed, it’s quite tiring for you magic class players to carry stone boxes. Let me help,” Mikhael had not realized the seriousness of the matter. He spoke casually, walked to the stone box, and exerted some force to lift it.

Eh? So heavy?

Mikhael stood still and abruptly exerted force. The muscles on his arms bulged instantly! However, the stone box was only lifted by a corner.

“Pa!” Mikhael let go, and the stone box fell to the ground again.

There was a tinge of awkwardness in the air.

“Hmm?” Mikhael suddenly turned his head to look to the right, “Ah, Tang Mingyue seems to be calling me. I’ll go over and take a look. She’s a girl, so she might not be able to move things.”

Fang Heng looked at Mikhael walking away from him silently.

“F*ck, a monster…” Mikhael muttered in a low voice as he quickly chased after the team of players in front of him.

…

The trial mission’s countdown was like a death warrant, urging the players to speed up.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they found a small path. After following the path for nearly an hour, a village finally appeared in their sight.

“Put away your weapons!” Seeing the village, Wei Tao heaved a sigh of relief.

Along the way, they were on full alert to deal with any monsters that might appear in the wild.

However, the journey was unexpectedly smooth.

They didn’t even encounter a single monster.

“There might be players in the village,” Wei Tao instructed the players, “Be careful not to be recognized. We’ll pretend to be a mercenary group that’s carrying out the Empire’s secret mission.”

“Yes!”

Everyone put their guns and weapons back into their backpacks and followed the path into the village.

The area of the village was relatively large, and there were not many people on the streets.

Several young people who were about to leave the village didn’t show any surprise or panic when they saw Fang Heng and his group. Two of the braver ones even took the initiative to ask if they needed a room, and they were willing to give a discount.

Wei Tao waved his hand to refuse. He walked under a big tree in the village and indicated for everyone to spread out to gather information.
