Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1025 The Fog

“Oh! Fang Heng! You’re back! I’ve already restored the basic patterns on the stone chest!”

“Well done! Where’s Qiu Yaokang?”

“What?”

Fang Heng was concerned about leveling up and killing monsters and thus looked for Qiu Yaokang.

Sandy turned his head to look in the direction of the laboratory, “I haven’t seen him. He should still be in the laboratory.”

Mo Jiawei ran to the laboratory and called Qiu Yaokang, “Genius Qiu, we finally found you. We brought back a lot of good stuff this time. Come take a look!”

“Good stuff?”

Qiu Yaokang was still setting up the temporary laboratory. When he heard the good news, he was tempted and came out to take a look.

“Oh, interesting. They seem to be some mutated mosquitoes.”

Qiu Yaokang’s interest was piqued when he saw the dragon mosquito pupae and corpses outside the laboratory.

He walked to the front of the pupae, put on his gloves, and checked them. He then took out a pen from his pocket and poked them. “Is this a native species of this world? It’s fascinating research material. Help me move it in. I need to go into the laboratory to check it in detail.”

“Okay, okay. Do it as soon as possible. We’re in a hurry.”

Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to move the bodies and pupae of the dragon mosquitoes into the room and briefly told them what they had encountered on the way.

Sandy also stuck his head in to listen.

“Oh right, these are leaves of the dragon-spine fir tree.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Qiu Yaokang took the leaves from Fang Heng and nodded. He blocked the three of them at the door with his body and closed the door behind him.

Fang Heng and the other two looked at each other outside the door.

Well, he was used to it. Qiu Yaokang never wanted to be disturbed when he was researching.

“Fang Heng! Fang Heng!” Sandy stood in front of Fang Heng excitedly, waving his hands and feet to attract Fang Heng’s attention. He said, “Alright, alright, it’s my turn now. You’ll never guess what I saw on that mysterious stone chest!”

Fang Heng’s attention was attracted, and he could not help but ask, “What? What is it?”

“It’s a mural! It’s a narrative mural!”

“Oh? You’ve restored it?” Fang Heng asked in surprise.

“Of course! I’m the only artistic genius who can restore it!”

Sandy chattered excitedly, pulling Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei to the wooden cabin in the camp.

“You guys would never have thought that the murals would be zoomed in and carved in a tiny area. God, I’ve never seen this kind of art before! It was so imaginative, and that carving ability was unheard of! Look, this is the image I restored after I enlarged it twenty times.”

Seeing the murals on the wall restored, Fang Heng was surprised.

This was…

Fang Heng’s expression gradually turned grave after carefully examining the mural’s contents.

The first mural depicted a disaster.

Like fire, the entire forest and village were on fire, and dead bodies were everywhere.

Then, in ruins, a group of people surrounded a rock as if arguing about something.

After the argument, one of them tried to touch the stone.

Immediately after, the scene suddenly became extremely strange. The person who touched the stone became weird as if he had turned into a ghost or demon.

The people who had been watching were frightened and fled in all directions.

Mo Jiawei observed the stream of consciousness on the mural, touched his chin, and asked, “Look, those monsters with bone spears in their hands, aren’t they the cave hosts that we’ve been to underground not long ago?”

“Yes, they look similar. Then, besides them, are the bigger ones humans?”

“Yes.”

“It looks like they were discussing something and even had a fight.”

“What is that stone?” Fang Heng asked suspiciously.

“Who knows?”

At the end of the scene, the parasite in the cave made a stone box and put the stones into it.

Fang Heng touched his chin and muttered in his heart.

So, the thing initially placed in the stone box was some stone?

But why was Tang Mingyue’s exploration box empty?

Who had snatched the stone away first?

Upon closer inspection, the stone in the last image was much smaller than the previous stones, and the shape was not quite the same.

Could there be two types of stones?

There were too many questions.

“Hah. It’s a work of art, right?” Sandy was delighted with his artistic recovery ability. He looked at Fang Heng pridefully and asked, “Fang Heng, what do you think?”

Fang Heng’s thoughts were interrupted, and he gave Sandy a thumbs up, “Good!”

“Haha.” Sandy’s sense of vanity was instantly satisfied, and he said with a smile, “I told you, you definitely wouldn’t lose out by bringing me to this trial. Oh, right. Other than this, I also discovered something.”

“There’s more? What is it?”

“It’s the mark on the outside of the stone box. After I restored the mark on the outside of the stone box, I found a mark similar to the white whale at the bottom. It’s the emblem of the Mahert Empire royal family, the Andrast family that established the entire dynasty!”

Frowning, Fang Heng looked at the mural again. “Are you trying to say that one group of people on the mural is likely to be the emperor’s ancestors?”

“What?” Sandy blinked his eyes and shook his head repeatedly, “No, no, no, I’m just saying that my talent in art restoration is one of a kind!”

…

While Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were pondering over the main storyline, Tang Mingyue and the others were still looking for the mole in Hani City.

“I saw a ghost! It’s not him. We’ve checked everything.”

“Our thinking should be correct. The princess’s secret trip this time is strictly confidential. Only these three people in Hani City can know the news.”

“But we’ve investigated them all. There’s nothing wrong with these three people.”

“Is there a problem with the direction of the investigation?”

“Could it be that the mole isn’t in Hani City?”

“No, the game prompt is in the city. That can’t be wrong.”

“Think about it carefully. There must be something that we’ve overlooked.”

The players felt tired.

After endless effort, everyone felt like they had returned to the starting point.

Why was this game so challenging?

In the silence, Zhong Zhi, who played the role of the think tank in the team, raised his head and analyzed, “After carefully recalling everything that happened after we arrived in Hany City, I think we’ve missed one person.”

“Who is it?”

“City Lord Klein.”

Everyone was stunned.

City Lord?

The one who gave the mission was the criminal who leaked the information.

The players looked at one another.
