Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 1928 Protection

"What's going on!"

The guards outside the Mork Temple immediately became alert as Fang Heng approached, raising their guard and turning their attention to the approaching figure.

The guards had already heard about the Holy Court team invading the Empire's hinterland and were currently guarding the temple cautiously. Seeing someone approach made them tense.

Fang Heng slowed and addressed the guards, "Just passing through, came to have a look."

Several guards looked at Fang Heng with skepticism. Under normal circumstances, the Mork Temple didn't prohibit normal necromancers from visiting.

However, given the current situation...

Moreover, this person seemed suspicious!

He even wore a mysterious devil mask.

However, people from the Holy Court wouldn't use such a strange mask.

He shouldn't be from the Holy Court.

"Hold on! The Mork Temple is now in a state of emergency!"

The chief guard looked at Fang Heng with suspicion and declared firmly, "The Enkama Empire is under attack by the Holy Court. It's extremely dangerous here. Please leave immediately and come back in a few days."

Fang Heng glanced at the dozen guards at the door, contemplating whether barging in would result in the Enkama Empire's friendship with the Mork Temple being damaged. Suddenly, he heard a surprised voice from inside the Mork Temple.

"Brother Fang!?"

Huh?

Fang Heng looked up and saw Ji Xiaobo looking out from the depths of the Mork Temple.

Ji Xiaobo had heard the commotion outside, found the noise familiar, and came out to check.

Seeing that it was Fang Heng, Ji Xiaobo's eyes were filled with excitement. He ran over to Fang Heng and waved at him.

"Ji Xiaobo?" Fang Heng was somewhat surprised.

He had only invited Ji Xiaobo to join the mission this afternoon, yet he had followed the clues and found this place so quickly.

Did he possess some talent for exploration missions?

"Don't worry about it. This is my friend."

Ji Xiaobo walked over, gesturing for the royal guards to step aside. He then led Fang Heng deeper into the Mork Temple.

...

Not far from the Mork Temple, two necromancy players hidden in the shadows exchanged glances as they observed Fang Heng entering the temple.

"Fang, Fang Heng...? No, why is he here? Wasn't he at the border of Jones Kingdom just now?"

Yuan Jize felt like he was seeing a ghost. Shortly before, he had spotted Fang Heng in the Jones Kingdom. He hurried back when he noticed the military fortress wasn't in good shape.

He had just returned, and now Fang Heng was here again?

The two brothers, Yuan Jixian and Yuan Jize were players from the necromancy faction. They had accepted a secret special mission and had been planning for a long time. They had been secretly observing and waiting for an opportunity.

"What on earth? How did this guy find his way here? How did he discover the Mork Temple? Could our mission be in trouble?"

At first, the two were somewhat excited upon learning about the Holy Court's invasion of the Enkama Empire, thinking that the execution of the plan was flawless. However, Fang Heng's sudden appearance introduced some unexpected complications to their mission.

Who would have expected that a player could single-handedly eliminate Miles's Holy Court team and even destroy the Holy Court's teleportation point set up in the Jones Kingdom?

Fang Heng's presence was completely unforeseen.

"Maybe... Fang Heng also sensed something amiss with the Holy Court mission and came to investigate."

Yuan Jixian touched his chin and analyzed it rationally. "Considering the players' current strength, there's a very slim chance of defeating Miles's team, let alone directly destroying the Holy Court's teleportation point. I suspect Fang Heng might have relied on some external force. Did you witness Fang Heng personally breaking through the Jones Kingdom military fortress?"

"Well, uh..."

"That's what I thought."

"Brother, don't let your imagination run wild. Don't worry about whether it's an external force or not. The question is, what should we do now?" Yuan Jize asked anxiously. "Should we go in and stop him?"

"Can you stop him?" Yuan Jixian retorted, glancing at his younger brother.

"Uh..."

Originally, the two were quite confident in their strength.

But now...

"Big brother, what's our plan? Shouldn't we try reasoning with them?"

"The Holy Court's people will arrive soon. If we go over now, it'll be easy for the Holy Court to discover us and alert the enemy... Fang Heng isn't alone. Others with him might leak the news."

Yuan Jixian halted for a moment before continuing. "And the teacher said that the fewer people who know about this, the better. You don't want your mission completion rate to be deducted, right?"

"Okay, let's linger a little longer."

"Fang Heng doesn't have much information, so he might not be able to discover the secret of the Mork Temple. The Holy Court team has already solved most of the sealing points, and they'll probably be here soon. We just have to stay put."

"Yes."

...

Inside the Mork Temple, Ji Xiaobo led Fang Heng to the main hall. "Brother Fang, you also arrived over! I was thinking of a way to find you quickly."

"How did you find this place? Did you discover something? Is it related to the Holy Court's holy weapon?"

"Yes!" Ji Xiaobo's spirit lifted as he conversed about the mission. "Brother Fang, in the afternoon, I went to the Enkama Empire and turned their imperial library upside down before finding this place."

"Really?" Fang Heng inquired curiously. "So, what's special about this place?"

"Hehe." Ji Xiaobo grinned mischievously. "Brother Fang, do you know how the Ciboreya game world came into existence?"

"Are you trying to say it was converted from the exit of the dead realm?"

"Huh?" Ji Xiaobo was astonished. He turned to Fang Heng with surprise. "Brother Fang, how did you know?"

"It's information I got from Feudal Lord Dani," Fang Heng explained casually.

"All right, according to ancient records, the Mork Temple appeared even before the establishment of the Enkama Empire. The temple might have originated during that era."

Ji Xiaobo conversed in a hushed tone, leaning in to whisper to Fang Heng, "Brother Fang, there's a rumor that the great holy sword breached through the death realm crevice right in this area. I spent a long time cross-referencing ancient maps, and that's how I discovered the Mork Temple. It seems that the Mork Temple might be related to the mission we're looking for..."

As they spoke, they walked into the hall at the end of the temple.

Fang Heng halted, expressing surprise by raising his eyebrows. He gazed at the purple-haired woman standing in the middle of the hall.

The woman faced the two of them and bowed slightly. "Welcome to the Mork Temple."

Fang Heng turned to Ji Xiaobo and asked, "Who is she?"
