Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2186 Interruption

Raven had already realized it.

The power of the electronic spirit was much stronger than they had anticipated!

The gap in strength was too great!

The only way he could think of to destroy the electronic spirit was with the remnants of the sacred tree!

Before the tree spirit race collapsed in the Inner World, they had brought out the remnants of the sacred tree from within.

Vannes was unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth, stared at the electronic spirit, and pondered if there was any other way.

Suddenly, Vannes heard a voice in his ear.

“Hey, what are the remnants of the sacred tree?”

Vannes turned to see Fang Heng. A look of disgust flashed in his eyes as he responded, “The remnants of the sacred tree that we brought out from the Inner World. They have always been controlled by the Soul tribe, and it’s not so easy to borrow them from them…”

During their conversation, Raven suddenly issued another stern command to Vannes, “Stop dawdling, move quickly!”

“Great Elder!” Vannes blurted out. He knew the Great Elder was clearly prepared to sacrifice himself, using his life to buy time for the clan’s escape.

Despite his inner resistance and reluctance, Vannes knew he had to make a decision.

“We’re leaving! Evacuate this place!”

The elite members of the tree spirit race wasted no time. One by one, they leaped onto the large passages on the ceiling and quickly evacuated.

Fang Heng stood by, not immediately following. He coldly watched Vannes and the others evacuate rapidly, and another game hint appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player’s current mission has changed-Find the remnants of the sacred tree.]

Mission name: Find the remnants of the sacred tree.

Mission description: Upon entering the secret area of the central research institute of the Federation, you discovered the modified electronic spirit, whose strength far exceeded your expectations. Perhaps only with the power of the remnants of the sacred tree can you completely destroy the spiritual domain blockade network. Unfortunately, the remnants of the sacred tree have always been controlled by the soul tribe of the tree spirit race.

Mission requirements: Report the situation to the Great Elder Senzo of the Leaf tribe along with Vannes and find a way to unite the various tribes of the tree spirit race to borrow the remnants of the sacred tree from the Soul tribe.

Mission reward: A significant increase in the completion rate of the main storyline missions.

Fang Heng quickly skimmed through the game hints. He understood it now. After all that’s happened, the mission was not over yet, and there was another twist to it.

Following the usual pattern, he would have to go back and face the inquiries from the Great Elder Senzo, then endure the soul tribe’s harassment. After borrowing the remnants of the sacred tree, he would have to find a way to infiltrate here again and finally deal with the electronic spirit once more.

The Federation and the dependents were not fools. The next time they came, the strength of both the spawns and the Federation’s guards would definitely increase significantly. The difficulty would at least double next time.

This was only in an ideal scenario. There might be significant twists and turns in the early stages of the mission.

Most troublesome of all…

Fang Heng couldn’t help but glance at Vannes, who was leading the tree spirit race’s retreat. The tree spirit race would definitely be unwilling to lend him the remnants of the sacred tree and allow him to act alone.

Once he thought about having to work with the bunch of incompetent teammates from the tree spirit race throughout the entire mission, he felt overwhelmed.

Should he just give up on this mission line?

But he couldn’t. The mission was explicitly related to the main storyline and offered a significant reward in terms of progress.

Avoiding the main storyline and just wandering around the periphery doing side missions would only waste his time.

So…

Fang Heng couldn’t help but look up at the electronic light spots gathering around Raven ahead.

The electronic spirit probably belonged to the boss-level entities in the advanced game world by now.

It could easily drain an elder from the tree spirit race.

Its level was very high.

Fang Heng took a small step back.

The tree spirit race had already provided him with a wrong example.

Even summoning a portal and using a large number of zombie clones wouldn’t make any difference.

Anyway, since he was already here, he might as well give it another try before leaving, unleashing a big move!

Fang Heng quickly sorted out his thoughts.

He needed to swiftly cut ties with the bunch of incompetent teammates from the tree spirit race.

He absolutely couldn’t get involved.

Raven could feel his strength being rapidly absorbed, knowing that his life was coming to an end.

He didn’t care about his own life.

He just hoped that everything he witnessed today could bring some enlightenment to the tree spirit race.

Next time.

Once they obtained the sacred tree branch, they would be able to stand a chance against the electronic spirit!

For the future of the tree spirit race!

Raven felt that his sacrifice was meaningful.

Huh?

What? Fang Heng?

Raven was already prepared to sacrifice himself, but suddenly he caught sight of a figure approaching him out of the corner of his eye, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Fang Heng!?

To his surprise, not only did Fang Heng not leave, but he also took a few steps closer to the direction of the electronic spirit.

“Fang Heng, aren’t you leaving yet?”

Raven didn’t like this human, but considering that they might need Fang Heng’s strength next time they entered this place, he warned, “The electronic spirit is not something we can deal with right now. Leave here immediately!”

“Mmm.”

Fang Heng just made a soft sound of acknowledgment, his gaze not lingering on Raven for even a moment but continuously fixed on the electronic spirit. He continued, “If I can deal with this thing, what reward are you prepared to give me?”

“What?” Raven momentarily doubted if he had misheard, staring at Fang Heng and shouting, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Forget it.” Fang Heng looked at Raven, whose vitality was rapidly depleting, almost at death’s door. He couldn’t help but speak in a low voice, “Since you’re prepared to sacrifice yourself, then let’s try again.”

Raven was startled and asked, “What?”

“Help me hold him back, push your strength to the limit, and let’s try one last time!”

As he spoke, Fang Heng had already been approaching the electronic spirit step by step.

Some of the surrounding blue light spots began to sense the threat from Fang Heng and moved closer to him.

“Whoosh!”

A layer of blood screen quickly covered Fang Heng, enveloping him.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

The exterior of the blood screen was attached by the blue light spots, making sizzling sounds like boiling water.

Fang Heng frowned.

The power of the blood was also rapidly being absorbed by the blue light spots!

“Raven! Hurry!”

“Human!”

Seeing the situation, Raven thought Fang Heng must have gone mad, but at this point, with his life nearing its end, he didn’t mind giving it one last try.

“I heard you! Stop yelling at me!”

With that, Raven unleashed all the remaining vitality he had left! He injected it all into the Seed of the Azure Lotus.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

A large number of dense blue light spots, influenced by Raven’s ripple of strength, swiftly passed by Fang Heng and surged towards the more threatening Raven!

With this, Fang Heng gained a moment of respite.

This was the chance he was waiting for!

With a glint of determination in his eyes, Fang Heng quickly dashed two steps forward, reaching a position less than ten meters from the electronic spirit.

The Everlasting Moon skill didn’t activate instantaneously, it still required about a second to cast.
