Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1140 Summons

Everyone fell into deep thought again after listening to Fang Heng’s narration.

After a long while, Qiu Yaokang raised his head again and asked, “So, Fang Heng, do you have any clues now?”

“Yes, I have some ideas. Do you remember the stone box we found at the beginning of the trial?”

“Of course, I remember. According to Qiu Yaokang’s analysis, the box was used to seal the ‘demonic seed’.” When Mo Jiawei heard about the box, he continued, “Now we know that the ‘demonic seed’ is a virus with the same origin as the Hila virus. It has the effect of transforming various physical qualities of the human body.”

Fang Heng nodded, “That’s right. I don’t know if everyone still remembers that Sandy had once restored the image on the stone box.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

Fang Heng recalled and raised three fingers one by one.

“A total of three paintings were restored. The first one was a disaster. The entire forest and village were plunged into a sea of fire, and there were dead bodies everywhere.”

“In the second painting, a group of people was arguing around a stone. After touching the stone, the human turned into a ‘ghost’, and everyone fled in all directions.”

“In the third painting, the beast in the cave made a stone box and sealed the stone.”

After hearing Fang Heng’s narration, everyone was a little worried.

Wei Tao looked at Tang Mingyue and asked, “Mingyue, how do you feel now? Do you feel uncomfortable or your body is being controlled?”

“Not at all. I’m feeling very good now.”

Tang Mingyue shook her head repeatedly. As she spoke, she looked in the direction of the barbarian camp and said, “I can even fight a hundred, let alone ten.”

Mo Jiawei’s eyes lit up, “So, the virus in Tang Mingyue’s body is increasing in a completely positive manner?”

Wei Tao hesitated, “That’s strange. Judging from the style of the murals and the words of the cave-dwelling beasts, demonization is not a good state. It seems that it will have a great impact on the mind. As for the barbarian race, I’m not sure if there will be any backlash after demonization. Those are the secrets of the barbarian race, and it’s a little difficult to understand.”

“Everyone!!”

Sandy suddenly raised his hand to attract everyone’s attention, “Don’t forget, after I restored the marks on the stone box, I found a mark similar to a white whale at the bottom of the box. You know about white whales, right? The symbol of the royal family of the Mahert Empire, the emblem of the Andrast family that established the entire Empire!”

With that, Sandy looked at Tang Mingyue, “Mm, yes, Tang Mingyue, I’m talking about your family’s ancestor.”

“Meh?” Tang Mingyue blinked. “And then? ”

“Uh… this…” Sandy, who was in the midst of his excitement, froze for a moment, then awkwardly put down his hand. “There’s nothing else. I’m just telling you what I found.”

Fang Heng frowned and thought, “I’ve talked to the elder of the cave-dwelling beasts who was sealed in the altar before. According to him, a long time ago, the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts made an agreement with the humans to keep one of the boxes that sealed the demonic seed in the underground world.”

“The demonic seed he mentioned should be the host of the virus, and the box is the black box we found. It seems that the person who made the agreement with the Empire should be the royal ancestor of the Empire. The Empire’s ancestors may have discovered the demonic seed’s drawbacks, so they sealed the demonic seed?”

Sandy asked, “Mingyue, is there anything recorded in your family tree?”

Tang Mingyue’s face was bitter, “I don’t know. I just joined the trial like you…”

As everyone was discussing, they suddenly realized that the rear of the Empire’s army had fallen into a slight commotion.

The chaos quickly stopped, and a group of Empire soldiers in silver armor rushed back from the rear of the underground world.

The soldiers hurried over and gathered everyone in the center.

A general of the Empire wearing bright silver armor strode forward and stood in front of Tang Mingyue. He said loudly, “Chen Wubin, the captain of the Empire’s silver-armored guards, greets Your Highness Mingyue!”

Tang Mingyue stopped talking to Wei Tao and the others and turned to look at the person.

“Your Highness, your subordinate is here on the orders of Emperor Salvador to bring you back to the royal family.”

Tang Mingyue frowned.

The current Emperor, Salvador, was not her father in name. He was the acting Emperor in charge of the various political affairs of the Empire.

He was her uncle.

When Tang Mingyue returned to the royal family, she learned a little about the royal family. She only knew that the Emperor had been seriously ill for some time, and during his illness, he had ordered the Empire to be entrusted to Salvador.

In this situation, why would they waste time on an acting monarch?

Wasn’t this sick?

Tang Mingyue didn’t want to see the acting monarch, so she pretended to be angry and scolded, “Can’t you see that I’m busy right now? You’re not here to protect the Empire when the barbarian race invaded. Now that the barbarian race has been driven away, you’ve come so quickly. What are you all doing?”

“I’m sorry! Your Highness!”

Chen Wubin raised his head and stared straight at Tang Mingyue. He did not give in and said loudly, “His Majesty has ordered that we must bring her Highness Mingyue back to the royal family.”

As he spoke, the silver-armored guards behind Chen Wubin entered a state of alert.

In the establishment of the Empire’s army, the silver-armored guards were elite combat forces that were transferred from all over the Empire, and they only listened to the direct command of the Emperor.

Something was wrong!

Fang Heng had a thought.

What was happening? Why did they suddenly become so hostile?

Why was the royal family so insistent on bringing Tang Mingyue back?

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Seeing this, Tang Mingyue subconsciously felt a little guilty. She glanced at Fang Heng with a pleading look.

Terrible!

Could it be that her plan to steal the royal treasury had been discovered?

In the next moment, the game prompt refreshed the retinas of Tang Mingyue and the others.

[Hint: The player team has triggered an optional main trial mission-the royal family summons.]

Mission title: The royal family summons-choice.

Mission requirement: Salvador, the current acting monarch of the Empire, wants to see Tang Mingyue.

...

Mission branch option 1: Accept summons.

Mission branch option 2: Refuse to be summoned (this option will cause the player’s team to break off from the royal family).

Remaining time for selection: 30 seconds.

Description (triggered by trial difficulty): If you do not make a choice within 30 seconds, you will reject the summon by default and enter a hostile state with the Empire.

Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng quickly communicated with their eyes.

“What do we do? They came with ill intentions, did they find out that you stole from the treasury?”

“Don’t panic. We’ve done a clean job. The barbarian race is the scapegoat. The probability of being discovered is not high. It’s possible that he just wants to summon you.”

“I don’t think it’s that simple. You’re suggesting that I meet him?”

“Mm, for safety’s sake, you go and see him. Try to stall for time to deal with the treasures for me. In addition, don’t worry even if you encounter any trouble. I’ll think of a way to save you from outside.”

“Don’t. Don’t worry about me if you run into trouble. I’m fine with dying, but you must take care of the treasures!”

“Okay, leave it to me. Don’t worry.”
