Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1167 The Pursuit

Fang Heng brought Tang Mingyue back to the room and told her about how Sandy obtained the key from the book she stole from the royal treasury, tracked her all the way here, and even discovered the secret magic array on the eighth floor.

The key hidden in the book, the secret magic array of the Alchemy Society, and possibly the treasure left by the Saint…

Fang Heng’s every word tugged at Tang Mingyue’s heartstrings.

Tang Mingyue suddenly became excited. Her initial gloominess was swept away and she felt that there was hope in life again.

!!

“Fang Heng, you’re so awesome! You are my savior! What are we waiting for? Let’s go to the eighth floor and take a look.”

There were already treasures on the eighth level, what was there a need to escape?

As long as she could get her hands on the treasures left behind by the Saint, the rest didn’t matter anymore!

“No rush, Sandy is still completing the magic array, let’s not disturb…”

Fang Heng had just answered half of his sentence when someone knocked on the door.

“Dong Dong Dong…”

Ed’s anxious voice came from outside the door, “Lord Fang Heng, are you inside? Is everything alright?”

Tang Mingyue’s face was instantly filled with vigilance and she looked at Fang Heng inquiringly.

“It’s Ed. He doesn’t know who we are.”

Tang Mingyue instantly comprehended his meaning ad asked, “You mean he can be used?”

“Ahem.” Fang Heng coughed lightly and ran to open the door. At the same time, he corrected, “It’s not taking advantage of him, it’s called cooperation.”

Outside the door, Ed was still a little confused. He was just asking his friends for information about the Saint, and then someone came to tell him that someone had invaded the Imperial City!

Ed had a hunch almost immediately after he heard the news.

Could this matter be related to Lord Fang Heng?

It couldn’t be! How could that be possible?

They were clearly stirring up trouble within the Alchemy Society and had no time to commit crimes on both sides.

Hence, Ed knocked on the door and was ready to tell Fang Heng about it immediately.

If there was a major internal search in the Imperial City, it might affect their infiltration later.

When the door opened, Ed saw Fang Heng standing at the door and immediately asked, “Lord Fang Heng, there was a problem in the inner city…”

Before he could finish his words, Ed caught a glimpse of the person standing beside Fang Heng.

Although she was wearing a mask, her figure and hairstyle couldn’t be hidden at all, so Ed recognized her at a glance.

“Ming-Your Highness.”

Ed’s throat rolled. He didn’t think too much and quickly knelt down on one knee.

“Get up and talk.”

“Yes, thank you, Your Highness.”

Ed raised his head and looked at Tang Mingyue, who was wearing a mask. A few question marks appeared in his mind.

When did Her Highness Mingyue arrive? Why did she come? Why was she wearing a mask?

She was acting so sneakily, could it be…

Was it related to the invasion of the royal family’s inner city?

Cold sweat broke out on Ed’s forehead, and he didn’t dare to think about it further.

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Ed and said in a deep voice, “Just now, Her Highness Mingyue was attacked by an assassin and taken away from the Imperial Palace. His whereabouts are still unknown. I was with you the entire time, do you understand?”

Hostage?

What did that mean?

Wasn’t Her Highness Mingyue standing here perfectly fine?

So, the attack on the royal family’s inner city was really related to Fang Heng?

He was receiving too much information now and they were all disorganized. Ed was dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but turn to look at Tang Mingyue.

“Did you hear what Lord Fang Heng said, Ed?” Tang Mingyue nodded. “All of this has nothing to do with you. You only need to follow orders.”

“Yes! I understand!”

Ed immediately nodded in agreement.

Something had happened!

Therefore, the invasion of the royal family of the Empire, which had caused an uproar in the Empire just now, was really related to Fang Heng!

What were the two of them planning?

Could it be…

Ed sneaked a glance at Tang Mingyue, his heart beating hard again.

Treason?

To establish their own sect!

To overthrow the rotten royal family and establish a new empire?

Ed checked the game log again, but there was still no notification of a mission being triggered.

It was rare for a high-level mission to not trigger a mission prompt.

Unless…

...

Ed shifted his gaze to Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue.

Unless his friendliness level was not high enough!

Although he had already been involved in some of the missions, he was unable to trigger them due to the restriction of friendliness.

Fang Heng didn’t know what Ed was thinking about, so he asked, “What is it?”

Ed quickly explained, “There was an invasion in the city just now. The Empire has already started to search the entire inner and outer cities. I’m worried that it will affect us.”

Fang Heng stood in front of the window and observed the situation outside.

The crimson light in the Imperial City’s inner area had dimmed, and the entire city became noisy.

A large number of royal guards appeared on the streets.

Fang Heng turned around and looked at Ed, saying, “Go and ask your friend about the Empire’s movements.”

“Yes, yes…”

Ed nodded and immediately went offline.

...

…

Salvador was furious when he heard that Tang Mingyue had been taken away.

“What did you promise me? Did you let the barbarians take Tang Mingyue away so easily?”

Salvador thought of something and asked, “Also, where is the necromancer, Fang Heng? Is it related to him?”

“We’ve already gone to invite Lord Fang Heng.”

“He has something to do with this,” Salvador said in a deep voice. “We’ll have to get him under control first.”

“Yes!”

The old man on the left continued, “Your Majesty, please calm down. Wangnet has just entered the third stage of his demonization. He can’t maintain his demonized state for a long time. He has just been forced out of the Imperial City by Rio Tinto. He won’t be able to influence our pursuit for a while.”

“Don’t worry. Other than the escaped Wangnet, there have been no reports of any attacks in the outer city. Her Highness Mingyue is currently unable to fight, so she should still be in the inner city. We only need to investigate thoroughly and we’ll definitely find their traces.”

Salvador clenched his fist and murmured, “I hope so.”

…

The Alchemy Society.

In the guest room, Ed came online again after a few minutes.

“How is it?”

“The barbarian invaders have been discovered in the Imperial City. The barbarians have been repelled. Her Highness Mingyue has been kidnapped and is currently missing. The entire Imperial City has been sealed off. The royal guards are conducting a search in the Imperial City.”

The news he got from his friend was even more shocking than Ed had expected. According to the information he had gathered, the royal family was under heavy attack. Other than a group of mysterious people with unknown identities, Wangnet was also present.

Wangnet?

Since when did the barbarian race start mixing with them?

After thinking about it carefully, Ed suddenly felt that it was normal.

How could Tang Mingyue not have a backup plan if she wanted to establish her own sect?

It was normal to cooperate with the barbarians!

Now that he thought about it, he was really stupid to have asked Wangnet for help to deal with Fang Heng.

No wonder Fang Heng was prepared for this. He almost led the entire union to a road of no return!
