Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1223 Snatch it Back

Holy Court’s Bishop Buno immediately shouted as soon as he saw the scene, “It’s the undead! The ghouls! It’s all the undead’s doing!”

“Enemy attack! Get into formation! Retreat in an orderly manner!” Seeing this, the party’s vice-general shouted and immediately drew his long sword, leading the party and covering their retreat.

The Lickers waved their sharp claws and charged into the Empire’s army, using their flesh and blood to slow down the army.

Not far away, in a dense forest, Mo Jiawei finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Leaning against a big tree, he waved to Fang Heng who was next to him, “Mr. Fang, thank God you made it in time. If you came a little later, I guess I will only see you again after you leave the trial.”

“It’s not that bad, right? Your demon hunter bloodline isn’t weak either,” Fang Heng said as he looked up at Feudal Lord Chadwicke’s team who was fighting with the Lickers in the distance.

The fusion Tyrant forms had been accumulating the parasitic worms for a long time, and now they were finally all released in one go.

Against normal human teams, these parasitic worms were finally useful again!

They crushed the enemy’s morale in a wave of attacks!

The humans had not realized the Lickers’ terrifying regenerative abilities yet and were still thinking about defeating them. They were currently building a defensive line to fight against them.

After being chased for a long time, Mo Jiawei had been holding back his anger. Now, he finally had the chance to vent, “Mr. Fang, you don’t know this, but these people are damn annoying. I spent a lot of effort to get a large number of resources here, but they seized and detained them.”

“Hehe, I, Mo Jiawei, have been playing games for so many years. I’ve always been the one snatching from others. This is the first time I’ve been robbed by someone else,” Mo Jiawei spat on the ground and glared at the people who were fighting the Lickers in the distance.

“What happened? Why are you in such a terrible state?”

“This bunch of idiots played dirty.”

Mo Jiawei finally had the chance to catch his breath and briefly explained to Fang Heng what had happened.

In the beginning, he did as he had discussed with Fang Heng. He went to the major cities of the Empire to collect the raw materials needed to make the enlightenment stone. While he was at it, he also went to a few feudal lords who were preparing to build a Tier 2 mage tower and discuss the relevant matters about doing so.

With his luck all this while, Mo Jiawei managed to trick a few feudal lords into providing him with the initial funds to purchase a large number of resources to produce enlightenment stones.

At that point, he had almost completed the task assigned by Fang Heng and was ready to return after agreeing on the delivery location of the goods with Tianli Mercenary.

He didn’t expect that he would suddenly receive a game hint right after he left the city, telling him that Fang Heng completed the main task and triggered the hint guidance for the next stage of the main storyline.

Coincidentally, Mo Jiawei noticed that the main storyline’s mission was located in the middle of the Empire, not far from them.

At that time, Mo Jiawei didn’t think too much about it. He thought that Fang Heng had made another discovery. Seeing that the mission trigger location was not far away, he went over and prepared to trigger the mission first to see the situation.

After arriving at the designated location, Mo Jiawei’s team found an abandoned mine occupied by a feudal lord of the Empire.

The location indicated by the game mission was deep in the mine.

However, the strange thing was that the mine was sealed off by Feudal Lord Chadwick.

He even found traces of the Holy Court in the mine area!

Although he had not triggered the mission yet, Mo Jiawei immediately felt that something was amiss when he saw the people from the Holy Court.

Therefore, on one hand, he asked someone to send a message to Fang Heng, and on the other hand, he planned to find a way to sneak in and check on the situation.

He had never expected that before he could even make a move, the game hint refreshed and told him about Fang Heng’s sneak attack on the Empire’s mausoleum.

Immediately after, the Empire’s royal family issued an arrest warrant for Fang Heng.

The feudal lords’ friendship status that had originally been “friendly” immediately became “dissatisfied” and “hostile”. With that, the materials stored in the city were detained by Chadwick, and the feudal lord even chased after them.

Mo Jiawei sensed the danger and decided to go all out. He led the players to fight the Holy Court that was guarding the mine. They went deep into the sealed abandoned mine and walked around, discovering some strange ores.

Mo Jiawei suspected that the ores might be related to the main storyline. He had no choice but to escape with the ores and supplies he found in the abandoned mine. Then, he was chased and fought all the way until he finally met Fang Heng.

“Good job!”

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and patted Mo Jiawei’s shoulder, “Don’t worry. How dare they detain our goods? We’ll take it all back with interest!”

Mo Jiawei’s eyes lit up as he listened, “That’s right! Get them all f*cking back!”

While speaking, Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the mining cart that the team had brought.

If not for the fact that they had to protect the ores, it wouldn’t have been a problem for Mo Jiawei’s team to escape.

After hearing that the mine was actually related to the Holy Court, Fang Heng became more interested and walked toward the ore cart.

“Be careful,” Mo Jiawei reminded, “There’s an infectious substance on the ore. Coming into contact with it after a long time will make one infected.”

“Alright.”

Fang Heng answered and walked to the cart. He lifted the black cloth covering the cart and grabbed a piece of gray-brown ore.

[Hint: You have discovered a high-concentration crystal ore (unpurified) (inferior raw ore) contaminated with an unknown aura.]

[Hint: You have identified the quality of the ore through the skill related to ore collection.]

[Hint: The ore can be further purified to improve the efficiency of the ore’s energy usage.]

[Hint: You are lacking related skills. You cannot obtain more information from the ore.]

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission, the ore with an unknown aura]

[Mission name: The ore with an unknown aura]

[Mission difficulty: B]

[Mission requirement: Try to find more clues from the ore.]

[Hint: It has been detected that the player’s current physique is special. You are immune to the influence of the small amounts of infectious aura.]

Hmm? Infectious aura?

Fang Heng scrutinized the ore in his hand.

According to Mo Jiawei, these ores were collected from the mine. Just to get them, they even fought with the Holy Court.

From this, it could be inferred that there was still a large amount of infectious aura inside the mine, right?

...

Was the source of the infection also a “demonic seed”?

Fang Heng pondered in his heart and raised his head to look at the battlefield not far away.

The troops led by Chadwick were originally his private army as a feudal lord, and they were not considered elites. Their formation had been messed up by the worm bodies in the beginning, and their morale thus plummeted. After that, when they fled, they encountered a group of Lickers, which left them with the sole choice of hurriedly fighting back.

Very quickly, they realized the strangeness of the Lickers.

The Lickers’ vitality was too strong!

The soldiers cut down the Lickers again and again, cutting their bodies apart. However, the limbs of the latter would regenerate in the blink of an eye and they would charge forward again!

Very quickly, the soldiers who were assisting the convoy could not hold on any longer and their formation was broken by the Lickers!

The Lickers charged into the middle of the army and started a bloody massacre!

Seeing this, Chadwick could only escape in a panic with his men.
