Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1133 The Reason

“As far as the practical effect is concerned, you saw that Fang Heng’s blood had an effect on the ‘demon’. Similarly, his blood would also have an effect on the barbarian race.”

Mo Jiawei opened his mouth.

“Wait, that’s not right. Do you mean the demonized barbarians were all infected by some kind of virus? Am I right?”

“To be more precise, whether the barbarians are ‘demonized’ or not, they have already been infected. I’ve detected traces of the virus in all the barbarians, but the degree of infection is different. According to the different physiques of each person, the effect of the virus infection is different. ‘Demonization’ should be a deeper level of infection.”

Mo Jiawei felt a little confused and asked again, “What about Tang Mingyue? What was going on with Tang Mingyue? Why did all the cave-dwelling beasts call her a demon? Is she also infected?”

“Yes, I’ve analyzed her blood sample. She’s also infected, and the level of the infection is very high.”

“That’s not right. When did Tang Mingyue get infected?”

“Yes, this is also what I want to explain next.”

Qiu Yaokang handed another orange-covered document to Mo Jiawei, “This is the stone box we found in the underground world after we first entered the trial.”

“Yes, have you found anything about that thing?”

Mo Jiawei had a deep impression of the stone box.

It took a lot of effort to move it here.

“Yes, I’ve done more in-depth research on the stone chest and found that it’s used for physical sealing. I also found a small number of remains of the host body inside.”

“I’m sure you’ve already guessed that the stone chest is used to seal the original host of the virus.”

“Combining all the clues from before, I now come up with the following hypothesis.”

Qiu Yaokang raised his head and looked at Mo Jiawei, “As the original host of the virus sealed in the stone box has been there for a long time, the host has died completely. However, the rest of the virus didn’t die completely, but it dissolved in the air and formed a mist.”

“Tang Mingyue’s action of opening the stone box led to the spread of the sealed original virus. Tang Mingyue, who was the closest to the stone statue, became the new host of the virus.”

“The virus…”

Mo Jiawei seemed to have understood a little as he listened, so he continued to ask, “Is the virus contagious?”

“There are no signs of the virus being transmitted.”

“I’ve studied the virus in Tang Mingyue’s body. The virus will gradually invade the human body within one to three days after infection, and have various effects on the human body.”

“What kind of influence? Do you have a specific one?”

Qiu Yaokang frowned, “I can’t predict it, but we can consider the barbarians and the infected subterranean world.”

Mo Jiawei felt that there was too much information, “So, Tang Mingyue will become a monster?”

“Of course, this hypothesis is also possible.”

Qiu Yaokang shrugged and stuffed the report into Mo Jiawei’s hands, “Okay, that’s the general situation. The specific data is in the report. I’m going to continue studying the black stone. That thing is very interesting.”

[Hint: Qiu Yaokang, a special character of the player’s trial team, has solved the initial puzzle of the trial game. The player’s trial score has been increased to S. The player will get an extra 8 hours of trial time.]

The game notification that popped up on his retina made Mo Jiawei a little stunned.

Good Lord, the game had given him a prompt.

This meant that Qiu Yaokang’s experiment results and deductions were completely correct!

“Hey, Genius Qiu, wait up.”

Seeing that Qiu Yaokang was about to go back to seclude himself for research again, Mo Jiawei quickly went up and pulled him back.

“What is it?”

“What about the special medicine to deal with the barbarians and the ‘demons’? And Tang Mingyue, wasn’t she infected? How can I save her?”

“One of them is the purple essence which is effective against the host of the virus. The other is Fang Heng’s blood, which is the perfect Hila virus and very effective against these low-level and low-concentration viruses. However, I don’t think there’s a need to save them. The viruses in this world are very strange, and they seem to be more inclined to symbiosis…”

As Qiu Yaokang spoke, he habitually lowered his head and began to think.

“Forget it, I still have more important research that’s half done. If there’s nothing else, I’ll continue my research.”

“Uh, okay…”

Mo Jiawei watched Qiu Yaokang return to the laboratory.

He scratched his head and still felt that it was not very safe.

He would tell Fang Heng about this discovery first.

With that thought in mind, Mo Jiawei immediately left the laboratory and rushed to the capital of the Empire.

…

In the underground world, Fang Heng ran quickly into the tunnel dug by the zombie clones.

Not far behind him, two blackthorn clones were pursuing him from both sides.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

Trouble was coming.

Wei Tao and the Empire’s elites alone would not be able to stop all of the blackthorn clones.

They’re catching up!

Apart from that, the blackthorn clones’ speed increased explosively once again with the blackthorn wings on their back. The distance between Fang Heng and his pursuers was rapidly closing.

“Whoosh!!”

The blackthorn clone didn’t possess any enmity towards Fang Heng. After approaching him, it didn’t care about him, and in the blink of an eye, it had already slipped past him.

“Get lost!”

Fang Heng shouted and thrust the purple essence long blade forward!

...

“BOOM!”

The right side of the blackthorn clone was struck in the chest by the long blade, directly blasting a huge hole in the body of the blackthorn clone!

Whoosh!!!

The blackthorn clone on the left immediately became hostile toward Fang Heng, its crystallized right arm striking straight at Fang Heng’s back.

Fang Heng quickly turned around, but before he could use the purple essence long blade to block it, the right arm of the blackthorn clone suddenly exploded in front of his eyes!

“BOOM!”

Fang Heng’s eyes were immediately covered with scattered blackthorn crystals.

The thin and sharp blackthorns could easily cut through the skin, and upon contact with the blood, they would immediately explode a second time!

Fang Heng saw that his health was dropping by a large amount, but he quickly increased it with the help of the recovery ability of the undying body.

This wasn’t the end, as two more blackthorn clones broke through the layers of the Empire’s soldiers, pursuing him from behind.

How troublesome!

...

He had to think of a way to get rid of one first!

Fang Heng cried ‘trouble’ in his heart. He forcibly raised his purple essence long blade to meet the enemy, trying to see if he could kill one of the blackthorn clones.

“Swish!”

The purple essence long blade in Fang Heng’s hand suddenly slashed forward!

“BOOM!”

The blackthorn clone’s head was pierced by the long blade, and exploded! He was sent flying along with his body!

Fang Heng squinted his eyes as he looked at the blackthorn clone that was easily blown into black crystal dust.

The black crystal dust that filled the sky quickly condensed and recovered in the air.

What to do?

The blackthorn clone had the ability to resurrect infinitely!

Now, Fang Heng finally realized how much of a headache it was for the enemy to face a zombie clone!

When faced with an opponent that could not be completely killed…

“Woof! Whoosh!!”

Taking advantage of the gap in Fang Heng’s attack, the two blackthorn clones behind him quickly joined the battle. At the same time, they brandished their blackthorns, stabbing into Fang Heng’s back!

“Hiss!”

Fang Heng gasped and felt a sharp pain in his back.
