Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1606 A Trap

“Is Lady Garona’s experiment complete?”

The necromancy attendant bowed slightly and replied, “I’m sorry. You seemed to be resting when I came to look for you. Lady Garona has already completed her experiment ahead of time. Due to some unexpected events, she returned to her residence not long ago. We mentioned your matter to her, and she told us that if you are willing, we will send you to her villa in the suburbs. The carriage has already stopped outside the hall.”

Something cropped up again?

It seemed that his luck was not good.

Fang Heng frowned, but he didn’t feel that anything was wrong. This was the main storyline mission and it was normal to experience such things.

It would be strange if there were no twists and turns.

He thought that Lady Garona might have encountered some trouble.

Helping to deal with this ‘trouble’ was also part of the mission.

It was very likely that he would have to complete the ring missions one by one to gradually improve Lady Garona’s favorability before he could gradually approach the main storyline.

After all, it was the main storyline mission that the guilds spent a lot of manpower and resources on, so it was normal to face challenges during the course.

However, he didn’t have the time now.

Perhaps it would be useless to find Lady Garona. If they were not familiar with each other, she might not be willing to help him either.

Fang Heng asked, “Where is the villa in the suburbs? How far is it?”

“In the outskirts of the Western region, the undead bone horse is very fast. We can arrive in less than half an hour.”

Fang Heng estimated the time.

Alright then.

He was already here. He would delay for another half an hour and give it a try.

“Alright, lead the way. We’ll set off as soon as possible.”

The necromancy attendant was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he remained calm and nodded. He said, “Alright, please follow me.”

Fang Heng did not suspect anything and left the room with the attendant to look for Lady Garona.

The carriage stopped outside the main gate of the Holy Tower Research Institute.

The necromancy attendant guided Fang Heng onto the carriage.

Fang Heng noticed that other than the two coachmen in the front seat, there was another old man sitting in the carriage.

The old man was dressed in a necromancy scholar’s uniform and was sitting in the corner of the carriage. His eyes were slightly closed as if he was asleep.

“Mr. Fang Heng, this is also a visitor of Lady Garona. He will be accompanying you. I wish you a smooth journey.”

Without waiting for Fang Heng’s reply, the necromancy attendant waved his hand, signaling the coachman to set off.

When the carriage left, the necromancy attendant’s eyes revealed a hint of relief.

Done!

This was a fortune that he would never be able to earn in his lifetime.

Fang Heng sat in the carriage that sped along the way and could not help but turn to look at the old man beside him.

They were all here to visit Lady Garona and happened to be in the same carriage.

The other party’s aura was well-hidden.

Unfortunately, Fang Heng was sensing his blood with his perception skill.

Judging from his blood, the other party was very strong.

He also did so for the coachmen and found that they were also very strong.

Lady Garona’s coachmen were already so powerful?

Fang Heng felt a little strange.

The carriage set off and quickly headed towards the outskirts.

Fang Heng felt that something was wrong. He asked the old man beside him, “Are you also here to visit Lady Garona?”

When the old man heard Fang Heng’s words, he slowly turned his head and looked straight into Fang Heng’s inquisitive gaze.

“Yes.”

“Are you familiar with Lady Garona? What kind of person is she? Are there any taboos to take note of when interacting with her?”

“Young man, you talk a lot.”

Fang Heng was silent for a few seconds.

Something was wrong!

There was a problem!

He felt that he might be involved in the main storyline mission again.

This was going to be troublesome!

He had no time to care about the main storyline mission now!

Fang Heng made a prompt decision. He quickly raised his hand and called out, “Stop the car. I want to get off.”

The coachmen didn’t respond and continued driving as if they hadn’t heard anything.

The old man slowly said, “Young man, I know you have a lot of questions. Be patient. You will see Lady Garona soon. We will explain everything to you then.”

“No need, I want to get off!”

“Whoosh!!”

Beside him, two streams of gray aura seeped out from the old man’s body and quickly spread toward him.

Fang Heng’s pupils contracted, and a game prompt popped up on his retina.

[Hint: You have received the effect of soul bind, the player’s soul has been attacked… Because your soul strength is higher than S+, the judgment has passed. The player is exempted from this damage.]

[Hint: You have been affected by the curse effect of the skill. Your defense has been reduced…]

Fang Heng turned his head and stared at the old man.

The old man’s originally normal pupils quickly became bloodshot.

What?!

The old man was startled.

He realized that the blood in his body was flowing uncontrollably.

“Whoosh!!”

A huge fist came crashing down!

The old man’s pupils contracted.

“Bone shield!”

“Boom!”

In the next moment, the entire speeding carriage exploded!

The old man and two coachmen quickly flew out of the exploded carriage and stood in three corners, surrounding Fang Heng firmly in the center.

The old man stared at Fang Heng with a strange look in his eyes.

Thomas Engel.

He was an elder relative of the Culodi Trading Company.

In order to take down Fang Heng, the Culodi Trading Company had already put in a lot of effort this time. They had dispatched a grandmaster necromancer and two master necromancers.

There were still five grandmaster-level scholars staying somewhere in the suburbs to ambush him.

After all, taking action in the central city of Punoze would undoubtedly attract the attention of various factions.

Even the Culodi Trading Company couldn’t cover the sky with one hand.

Therefore, they needed to find a quiet place to make their move. They just need to bring Fang Heng to the suburbs. They had already set up an inescapable net there. Fang Heng could not escape no matter what.

Unfortunately, they were discovered by Fang Heng midway.

Fang Heng was extremely vigilant!

Moreover, his strength was stronger than they had predicted. The soul attack and mental attack that he had used on Fang Heng were mostly nullified.

“Fang Heng, you’re very powerful. I didn’t expect that even the Frost Hell couldn’t trap you.”

“Who are you? The Culodi Chamber of Commerce?”

Fang Heng realized that the other party was from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce, the biggest enemy he had offended in Punoze.

The old man said in a deep voice, “Not bad. Since you know about it, come with us. As long as you are willing to cooperate, we can guarantee your safety.”

Fang Heng didn’t answer. A hint of disdain appeared on his lips, but he was more frustrated.

From the start, he had been played by the people from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce.

The necromancy attendant must have been bribed by the Culodi Chamber of Commerce!

The game prompt appeared on Fang Heng’s retina.

[Hint: The player has triggered the main storyline mission. The difficulty is balanced. The player has received additional mission compensation. The player has triggered a special hostile mission-Pursuit of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce.]
