Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 357: Natural Energy

Fang Heng did not notice the gazes of the other players.

All his attention was focused on the blue crystal raw ore.

After the blue crystal raw ore exploded, it left specks of blue powder in the air.

The powder formed the shape of a basic occult rune.

After reading the entire ‘Occult Guide’, the meaning of this rune immediately appeared in Fang Heng’s mind.

It represented the most basic natural energy of occult.

After the rune was maintained for half a second, the blue powder fell from the sky.

Fang Heng suddenly felt the back of his hand itchy.

He subconsciously raised his hand to take a look.

The rune mark on the back of his hand showed a faint light.

The blue specks were absorbed by the rune mark on the back of his hand.

[Hint: Player has mastered the skill-basic occult; player has mastered the skill-occult ritual (binding soul seal); player has comprehended a new skill-low-efficiency energy storage ].

Skill: Low-efficiency energy storage (can be detonated).

Skill description 1: Player can absorb various forms of energy through the occult ritual and store the energy in the occult imprint, current conversion efficiency is extremely low (conversion efficiency and maximum stored energy upper limit are related to the level of the occult ritual and the level of basic occult).

Skill description 2: Player can instantly release all stored energy in the imprint and trigger an energy explosion, causing a large amount of damage to the area, this damage was related to the imprint’s current stored energy intensity and the level of the occult ritual (damage ignored friend or foe). If the energy value during the explosion was greater than a certain limit, there was a probability of triggering an energy vortex. Skill cooldown time: 48 hours.

[Hint: You have tested the blue crystal raw ore for the first time. You have obtained skill-basic occult experience points +43.]

[Hint: You have absorbed the energy of the blue crystal raw ore. Current energy storage: 0.2%.]

Fang Heng looked at the long skill description and roughly understood.

From the perspective of occultism, the blue crystal raw ore contained powerful natural energy.

Coincidentally, the occult ritual rune on the back of his hand could absorb this energy.

His body became a container.

Just by looking at the skill description, he needed to absorb a large number of blue crystal ores before using the skill once.

He didn’t know the actual effect.

After all, the blue crystals made from blue crystal ores had extremely strong energy, and they could even create a spatial rift.

It shouldn’t be too weak.

It was just that this method of using energy was too crude.

Simply absorbing and detonating.

Was it equivalent to using one’s own body as a medium?

“Cough, cough.” Ni Tonghui could not help but cough lightly. “Brother, what’s the situation?”

Fang Heng returned to his senses. Only then did he realize that the surrounding players were all looking at him with inquisitive gazes.

“Uh, I don’t know either. I don’t know how it exploded.”

Everyone became even more confused and looked at each other.

This thing could explode?

They had been smuggling ores here for more than ten days, but this was the first time they had heard of ores that could explode.

“I was also shocked. The crystal just now was a little different. It was especially bright. I thought it was some good stuff...”

Fang Heng explained casually, trying to deceive them.

Although everyone had doubts, they did not continue to investigate further.

Ni Tonghui looked at Fang Heng and said, “I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”

“I joined not long ago. I was with Zuo Qing. They all ran fast, leaving me alone.”

“Zuo Qing ran really fast.”

Fang Heng tried to find out what was going on with the zombies outside. “By the way, do you know what happened to those zombies outside? Was it the employer? Why did they make such a big commotion?”

“I don’t know. Brother, I advise you not to ask too much. It’s good that you have the money. The more you know about this kind of thing, the faster you’ll die.”

While they were talking, they heard footsteps coming from the front.

The two immediately stopped talking.

Cao Zhengde brought the three people back together.

Their faces didn’t look good.

“What’s wrong, Boss Cao? Was there a problem?”

“D*mn, Night Owl’s people don’t keep their word. They say that we caused too much of a ruckus and attracted the Federation’s attention. They’re only willing to give us a third of our wages, and they even want us to think of a way to move the ores from the mining area on the mountain.”

“F*ck!”

“What bullsh*t Night Owl! Aren’t they worse than the Federation?”

“F*ck!”

“They want us to go back to the mining area? Does he f*cking want us to die?”

“They should be punished for their carelessness! It’s clearly their fault that the Federation discovered us!”

The players were both angry and afraid.

The Federation had already discovered that someone was stealing the mines outside. If they were to go to the mining area now, wouldn’t that be courting death?

“Pui!”

Cao Zhengde spat on the ground with a vicious expression.

“Brothers, the people outside are all Night Owl’s men. I won’t hide it from you. There are only two paths in front of us.”

“We can either go back the way we came and escape through the entrance and run as many as we can. We can consider this operation as a mistake.”

“Or we can trust Night Owl one last time.”

“Night Owl’s men have said that they have temporarily taken control of the mining area. The people of the Federation are also attacked by the zombie horde and have no time to deal with us.”

“There are still many high-quality blue crystal raw ores in the mining area. They really need people to transport the ores from the mountain.”

“There are still a few trucks that are locked in the mining area that can be used. Night Owl’s people have promised to give us five million Federation coins as long as we can transport a cart of high-quality ores down the mountain. At that time, we will split it with them.”

Hearing five million, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up. They had completely forgotten how they had reprimanded Night Owl just now.

One cart already had five million. What if they could transport a few more carts?

After doing this job, they would be able to lie down comfortably for the rest of their lives. They would no longer have to risk their lives.

After Cao Zhengde said that, he looked around.

He saw pairs of hungry eyes.

“Brothers, what do you say?”

“Let’s do it!”

“Of course, let’s do it once!”

“Since we might not be able to escape now, we might as well do it ruthlessly!”

“Don’t ask. If anyone asks, we’ll take him down...”

Fang Heng looked at the unusually excited players and felt that it was funny.

They had been fooled by Night Owl’s people for less than a minute. How could they have forgotten about it in the blink of an eye? Why were they still in a hurry to continue working with Night Owl?

Weren’t they afraid of being tricked again?

Cao Zhengde nodded. “That’s fine. The problem now is that a few trucks in the mining area have been locked. Forcefully opening the lock will damage the trucks. Who knows about high-level car maintenance?”

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.

He thought to himself that this was fine.

The ores in the mining area were all high-level blue crystal raw ores.

They could head up the mountain and get more high-level goods that he could bring home!

When the Federation was almost done fighting, he would directly snatch a mining truck and run away.

He didn’t care about the fight between Night Owl and the Federation. He wanted to make a profit first!

After secretly making up his mind, Fang Heng stood out and said, “I know a bit of lock-opening skills. Talent skill and mechanical maintenance. I can help.”

“Okay!”

Cao Zhengde’s eyes lit up. “You come with me too. When the time comes, I will definitely treat you well and give you an extra sum of money.”
