Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Novel - Chapter 404

Roche laughed out loud. He raised his modified shotgun with one hand and fired back at the players in the forest.

The Scavenger Army soldiers were the same as Roche. The pain of being hit by bullets made them even crazier and more fearless. One by one, they raised their guns and fired back.

The two teams that participated in the ambush initially wanted to cooperate with each other to launch an ambush. They did not expect the Scavenger Army to be so tough. Since they lacked suitable cover, they immediately retreated one after another!

In the blink of an eye, the death rate of those that participated in the ambush reached a high point.

The guild leader of the Dragon Country Guild, Niu Xia, kept lying down with cold sweat running down his face. He thought, “What’s going on? ! Something isn’t right! When did the Scavenger Army become so strong? ! It wasn’t like this yesterday! Why did the strength of the Scavenger Army increase so much in just one day? The strength they’re displaying is completely different from yesterday when they attacked the shelter! All the guilds participating in this operation sent high-level players, yet we can’t withstand the Scavenger Army’s attacks! ”

“What the f*ck! What kind of information did you give us? ! ” The deputy commander of Hidden Tiger Gaming Company, Qian Yu, who participated in the ambush, fled back with the defeated soldiers. Their company suffered the most losses! More than half of their men had died in a head-on clash with the Scavenger Army.

Qian Yu’s heart was aching as if it were bleeding. He grabbed Niu Xia’s collar with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could swallow the latter whole. “Didn’t you say that we could completely crush them with our strength? How did this happen? ! Huh? ! Speak! ”

“I… ” Niu Xia was momentarily at a loss for words. “I don’t know what happened either. They weren’t this strong yesterday. ”

“Stop it! Now is not the time to argue. ” Tian Zhen’s face was gloomy.

After the Scavenger Army finished off the ambush players, they continued to approach their enemy’s defensive line. They raised their bulletproof shields to block while striding toward the line’s cover. From time to time, they even used shotguns to fire back.

The most terrifying thing was that despite the Scavenger Army NPCs obviously having had their limbs shot off and bodies hit by bullets, as long as their heads were still there, after drinking a bottle of potion, they could still endure the pain and continue to fight.

Although the Scavenger Army also suffered casualties, it was nothing compared to their enemy’s.

Tian Zhen had thought that victory was within their grasp, but he did not expect the gap to be so huge!

His heart sank. “If this continues, once the Scavenger Army gets close to the cover, they would be within close combat range and be at an even greater advantage! Our team would be completely crushed! ”

The other guild commanders thought the same thing. Their faces darkened, and they hated Dragon Country Guild to death in their hearts.

Tian Zhen took a deep breath, musing, “I’ll have to take one for the team. Survival of the group takes priority over that of the individual! ”

…

“You Guys retreat first! ” Tian Zhen clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh. He said in a deep voice, “I’ll bring my people to stay and buy you guys three minutes. ”

At such a critical moment, Tian Zhen chose to stay behind personally.

The commanders of the other player teams all turned to look at Tian Zhen in admiration as they knew they wouldn’t have been able to make the same decision.

Nodding at Tian Zhen with respect, they immediately led their player teams to retreat.

…

During the day, Fang Heng could move the medicinal ingredients that were stored with the Dark Knights back. At night, he could control the zombies into an assembly line and make the potions.

With everything planned out, Fang Heng went offline to take a nap. He was prepared to stay up late and grind contribution points after he recovered his stamina at night.

When he woke up, it was already past two o’clock in the afternoon. Fang Heng stuffed himself with some food and prepared to return to the game.

“With the warlord potion, it shouldn’t be a problem for Roche to deal with those players. Otherwise, he’s really weak, ” Fang Heng muttered as he walked to the study room in the back garden.

The zombies had finished reading the few books that he previously brought into the game from the study. Since he had nothing to do, he thought he might as well think of a way to bring two more books into the game for the zombies to study.

After all, reading was an important activity.

Butler Sun was arranging for the cleaners to clean the back garden. When he saw Fang Heng, he nodded and greeted him, “Mr. Fang Heng, have you been well these days? ”

“Thank you for taking care of me. This place is very nice, ” Fang Heng said and stretched his body. “I haven’t read for a long time. I’m going to the study to read for a while. Mr. Mo should be back soon, right? ”

“Yes, the family head will be back in two days. I’ll take you to the study. ”

After chatting with Butler Sun for a while and being dragged along to do the registration, Fang Heng entered the study.

“Huh? ”

There was a girl in a white dress in the study. She had shoulder-length black hair and was sitting in front of a small table, holding an ancient book in her hand.

Her skin was fair, her eyes especially big.

At first glance, she looked like a character from a manga.

The girl noticed Fang Heng’s gaze and turned her head.

Meeting his gaze, Xiao Ruoruo felt her heart skip a beat, and she immediately blocked her vision using the book.

Fang Heng took the initiative to greet her. “Hey there. ”

“Hey, I’m Xiao Ruoruo. Are you Fang Heng? I heard Butler Sun mention you before. ”

After Fang Heng closed the study door, he noticed that Xiao Ruoruo was holding a book in her hand.

“Yeah, I’m Fang Heng. Are you also here to read? ”

“Yup. ” Xiao Ruoruo nodded. “Fang Heng, are you studying Occult? I saw the blue crystal raw ores outside. At first, Mr. Sun thought they were just ordinary stone fragments. ”

“No wonder Butler Sun found a large warehouse to store the ores, ” thought Fang Heng.

He then responded, “Yes, I’m studying Occult. Do you also study Occult? ”

Xiao Ruoruo waved her hand repeatedly. “No, no, I study Sealing Alchemy. It’s closely related to Occult. ”

“Sealing Alchemy… ” Fang Heng immediately thought of something. “The advanced game world, Nightmare World. ”

In that world, the dream world and the real world partly intersected, and a monster called the nightmare demon rampaged the world.

In the hundreds of years of battle with the Nightmare Demon, humans mastered the special skill called Sealing Alchemy.

Humans could use Sealing Alchemy to seal demons into Alchemy Sealing Cards.

High-tier alchemists could use summon sealed demons from the cards to fight for them.

“Are you an advanced game world player? ”

“Well, I… ” Xiao Ruoruo felt a little uneasy as she spoke. She avoided Fang Heng’s gaze and stammered, “Y-Yes, sort of. ”

Fang Heng felt strange in his heart, thinking. “Sort of? What kind of answer is that? Why’s it so ambiguous? ”

“Oh, okay. ” Not asking further, he stood up and started to search for Occult books related to potions in the study.

The most important thing at the moment was to increase the success rate of potion making. After reading the relevant books, he had a chance of gaining potionology skill experience points and increasing his potionology level.

Xiao Ruoruo secretly looked at Fang Heng from behind.

After a long time, she mustered up her courage and stood up, carefully asking, “Fang Heng, can you lend me a blue crystal raw ore from the warehouse for research? ”

“Of course. Take whatever’s left in the warehouse for research as you please. Just don’t give the ores to anyone else, ” Fang Heng casually gave consent with his back facing her, still looking for a book. “Oh, right, be careful. Don’t destroy them. ”
