Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1238 Evidence of a Crime

Eh?

It’s actually a double mission?

Fang Heng quickly scanned through the task hint and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

Even Tang Mo was involved?

What did that mean? Were they going to overthrow Salvador’s rule?

The entire Empire was in turmoil?

Why was it so sudden?

Fang Heng felt that something was wrong.

He, Tang Mingyue, and Mo Jiawei quickly exchanged glances with one another.

No matter what, he could first think of a way to investigate the underground palace of the royal family.

“Alright, lead the way.”

“Yes!”

Wu Shijiang nodded his head and gathered his nerves. He then led the group toward the Hall of Divine Martial Arts.

…

Offline, late at night, on the upper floor of the central building in the North District of the Federation, a video conference was being held.

Including Ed’s Prilla Gaming Guild, the top management of eight large guilds in the barbarian game world had gathered. Their think tanks were also working overnight in their respective company headquarters.

Not long ago, they encountered a difficult situation in the process of carrying out their plan to seize control of the Empire.

The person in charge of the offline session was Li Xue.

They were mainly in charge of integrating all kinds of information inside and outside the game and providing real-time mission guidance to Ed’s team through the discussion and analysis of various think tanks.

She was also one of the main schemers in the invasion of the royal family.

After all the calculations, they still underestimated the strength of the intermediate game world.

The danger level of the underground palace was far beyond their expectations!

Halfway through the exploration mission, the player team was attacked by the Empire’s soldiers who had been transformed by the demonic seed. The team suffered great losses as a result, and they were then chased by the Empire’s troops.

Tang Mo was forced to temporarily surrender in order to protect everyone and was imprisoned by Salvador.

The entire mission line was almost completely destroyed!

The only reason why everyone could continue was that they had triggered another side mission, which was to collect evidence of Salvador secretly manipulating the royal family and to form an alliance against the Empire.

Thinking back to the entire mission, Lee Xue realized that she had made a mistake.

She had overestimated the players and underestimated the Empire.

The difficulty of the underground palace exploration mission was impossible for them to complete with their current strength!

It was impossible to take over the Empire in one strike.

The players’ analysis team all agreed that the game’s intended direction was the division of the Empire.

Unfortunately, it was too late for them to come to this conclusion.

If they had gathered Salvador’s evidence in the underground palace from the start, they might have been able to increase the completion rate of the evidence-gathering mission to about 40%.

This way, they would be able to obtain the help of more feudal lords in the war against the Empire.

Helplessly, since things had already come to this, they could only think of a way to redeem themselves from the follow-up mission.

The think tank was originally discussing how to save Tang Mo when they suddenly received a surprising piece of news.

Lord Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue had appeared!

They had broken through the inner city with their own strength and even Lord Fang Heng wanted to run to save Tang Mo!

The think tank had already analyzed it hundreds of times. Directly running to rescue Tang Mo was undoubtedly the worst plan!

Even if Tang Mo died, they would still have Tang Mingyue, a not-so-useful substitute.

However, what if Tang Mingyue was also killed there?

Fortunately, Lord Fang Heng didn’t insist on taking the risk and chose to enter the underground palace to investigate.

Li Xue also quickly realized the feasibility of Fang Heng’s strategy.

Taking advantage of the fact that the underground palace was unguarded, he sneaked in to explore the underground palace again.

The royal family would never expect them to return!

The think tank immediately came to the conclusion that this was a great opportunity to collect evidence of Salvador’s crimes!

One must know that Lord Fang Heng was very powerful.

In addition, with them providing information and support offline, it was possible to collect more evidence before Empire reacted. It was also possible to find a way to complete the mission to more than 50%!

Hence, the mission objective changed.

The player team temporarily didn’t think of a way to rescue the imprisoned Tang Mo. Instead, they concentrated all their strength to cooperate with Fang Heng and do their best to provide support to Lord Fang Heng and the others!

After making her decision, Li Xue said in a deep voice, “Everyone, let’s buck up. The game has only just begun. Let’s work together and do our best to help Lord Fang Heng enter the underground palace. We must collect evidence of Salvador’s crime.”

“I want to keep an eye on the Empire’s movements at all times. Report to me as soon as you have any news, and then pass it on to Wu Shijiang. Everything must be done as soon as possible, understand?”

“Team 2, and Team 3, analyze and estimate the current defense information of the underground palace. I want a report within five minutes.”

“Team 5, report the situation of the guards at the Hall of Divine Martial Arts immediately and set up an analysis model. I want to give Fang Heng at least half an hour to explore the underground palace after occupying the Hall of Divine Martial Arts.”

...

“Understood!”

The whole team’s spirit was roused, and they immediately split up and began to move.

Li Xue clenched her fists tightly.

They had underestimated the enemy earlier.

If she was given another chance to choose, she would definitely choose to take a huge risk and wait for Fang Heng to come back before attacking the royal family.

But who could really predict in advance?

When she first chose to formulate the assault plan, it was the best solution after integrating all the current information.

Now, all the bets were on Fang Heng again!

In order for the follow-up mission to proceed smoothly, she must increase the completion rate of the mission to collect evidence to more than 50%!

…

Fang Heng didn’t know that there were thousands of elite players outside who were paying attention to his every move. At this time, he was following the team all the way to the underground palace.

...

He opened his character panel to analyze his current available combat power.

After a series of battles, he had almost used up all his trump cards.

There were only about 20 Lickers that were about to be resurrected. Other than that, all of the zombies’ big moves were on cooldown.

Unfortunately, the mission had a time limit, so he could only brace himself and try.

With the help of his friend’s report on the survival radio station, Wu Shijiang led his team around the city, avoiding the reinforcement and patrol teams, and quickly found the entrance of the Hall of Divine Martial Arts.

There was a small team of guards at the entrance, and they were currently standing guard outside the Hall of Divine Martial Arts.

From a distance, these eight soldiers were all high-level guards responsible for guarding the royal family’s inner city. They had not yet reached the strength of the royal guards.

Wu Shijiang looked at the information sent by the survival radio station and said anxiously, “Lord Fang Heng, there is a wave of guards outside the Hall of Divine Martial Arts. We need to deal with them as soon as possible. In six minutes, a patrol team will pass by the Hall of Divine Martial Arts. We need at least two minutes to get into position to avoid the guards’ detection. If we wait for the next wave, it will take 15 minutes.”

“Yes.”

Fang Heng nodded and shifted his gaze to Tang Mingyue.

Tang Mingyue understood the look in Fang Heng’s eyes. She took out a magic scroll from her backpack and nodded to Fang Heng.

“Do it!”

“Thunder array.”

As she poured her spiritual power into it, the magic scroll in Tang Mingyue’s hand suddenly glowed with a red light.

A red lightning formation suddenly appeared under the soldiers’ feet.
