Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1129 An Invitation

The guards let their guard down a little when they realized that the other party was from the Mage Association. They kept looking around.

There was no one else nearby, and the tire tracks on the ground had also disappeared.

Eric analyzed, “It seems like an accident happened. Her Highness Mingyue and the materials might have fallen into the pit.”

“This pit is so strange, what should we do?”

“None of us can bear the responsibility for the disappearance of Her Highness Mingyue. Let’s go in and take a look!”

Cheng Jiqiang looked at Sarwen, “What about you? The pit is strange, and there may be barbarians involved. We need the help of your group of mages. Are you willing to come with us?”

[Hint: The Captain of the Empire royal guards, Cheng Jiqiang, has invited a team to explore the pit. Players can choose whether to join as the main force.]

[Hint: Joining as the main force will greatly increase the mission score. Refusing to join will cause the mission to fail and your friendship with the Empire will be greatly reduced.]

Ed looked at the mission and thought to himself, “Here comes the ‘big hole’.”

He gestured to the players to get ready to escape and replied, “Sir, our team’s combat ability is limited. We can just follow the team and assist.”

Cheng Jiqiang was somewhat dissatisfied, but he still nodded and said, “Okay, sure.”

[Hint: Your favorability with the Empire has decreased slightly. Your mission score has dropped significantly.]

Ed was not bothered by the mission penalty.

If he could avoid the trap, this little penalty was nothing.

Looking at the Empire’s soldiers groping their way into the pit, Sarwen saw a game prompt flash on his retina. He walked to Ed’s side and whispered, “Boss, someone from the Federation is contacting me offline. It’s very urgent. There might be a clue to the mysterious person.”

“Alright, you go first. We’ll take care of this.”

“Yes.”

…

In the underground tunnel, Fang Heng’s team went down along the river, using water-type magic to create water currents.

After charging forward for more than ten minutes, the speed of the water flow clearly decreased.

“Mingyue, I’ll leave the rest to you. We’ll split up.”

“Alright!”

Tang Mingyue gave Fang Heng a thumbs up.

Mikhael followed beside the two of them in silence.

He had finally figured out Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue’s plan.

He dared to bet two high-tier spell scrolls that these two people had already planned to attack the Empire’s armory!

They were just using this mission as an opportunity to make a move in advance.

Well, they could also put the blame on the barbarian race.

What a good scheme.

All the benefits have been taken by them.

Along the way, most of the magic tracing marks left on the stolen goods had been erased. Fang Heng deliberately left two small boxes behind.

“The rest of you, follow me! Take the two boxes as well.”

After hearing that, Victor followed Tang Mingyue and the others down the river. The remaining players worked together to lift the box and followed Fang Heng to the right side of the fork.

Mikhael sighed in his heart and chased after Fang Heng.

The tunnel dug by the zombies was connected to the underground world.

Soon, Fang Heng and his group entered the underground world. Fang Heng signaled them to place the box behind a large stone pillar.

“We’re almost there. Let’s rest for a while. Wei Tao should be here soon.”

Fang Heng looked at the time of the trial and waited quietly.

Wei Tao did things steadily and would not make any mistakes.

Soon, there was a commotion not far away.

Wei Tao brought a few players and ran over.

Previously, Wei Tao had followed the plan and brought a group of players to the periphery of the barbarian’s secret camp. He had secretly used a long-range magic scroll to blow up the camp a few times and cause chaos. Then, he immediately fled toward the rendezvous point where Fang Heng was supposed to be.

Seeing that Fang Heng and the others had arrived in advance, Wei Tao was relieved and said in a deep voice, “They’re here. The barbarians are catching up. They’ll be here in three minutes.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

The party immediately retreated to the back.

As soon as Wei Tao and the others left, the barbarians caught up with them.

The barbarian commander Winkton, who was guarding the secret underground camp, was very anxious.

They actually found humans outside the camp!

This time, he had accepted a secret mission from the barbarian leader and had led the barbarian team to ambush here.

He did not expect to discover traces of humans before he received any new orders.

What was even more surprising was that those humans had actually taken the initiative to attack their camp!

Winkton didn’t know what was going on with the humans, nor did he know how exposed their stronghold was.

And that the Lord’s scheme had already been exposed?

Winkton’s mood was getting worse.

The whereabouts of this group of humans were strange. They had to be captured and interrogated!

He could only hope that this was all a coincidence.

Winkton led the team all the way to the bottom of the large stone pillar. He frowned and gestured for the team to stop.

He found two strange boxes in front of him.

The box was new, clearly left behind recently. There were also faint fluctuations of human magic coming from the box.

Winkton suspected that there was something wrong with the box.

He nodded to the two demonized barbarians beside him.

“Go over and take a look.”

Two demonized barbarians stepped forward and opened the box.

A dark light bloomed from the box.

The barbarians were shocked when they saw the contents of the box.

Mithril!

The box was filled with extremely precious magic mithril!

In the human empire, a hundred grams of magic mithril would be sold for eight to nine thousand!

Within the barbarian race, magic mithril was even rarer.

Good stuff!

The precious treasure was right in front of him, but Winkton had ten thousand questions in his heart.

What did that mean?

Why did the humans leave so much magic mithril here?

From the looks of it, the two boxes did not seem to be left behind in a panic during the escape…

Who cares!

Winkton ordered his men to carry the boxes back to the stronghold. Just as he was about to order them to continue the pursuit, he suddenly sensed a familiar human aura in front of him.

He looked up and saw a faint firelight in front of him.

The fire was getting closer.

A well-equipped human team from the Empire was heading straight for them.

Winkton’s pupils shrank.

Damn it! It was the human guardians!

The most unfortunate thing had happened. The Empire must have discovered their existence!

“Roar!”

Winkton let out a low roar, and his entire body was covered in a dark layer of stratum corneum, and his pupils were filled with a deep desire to fight.

“Kill them all! Don’t leave a single one alive!”

The humans who were coming from the front were also shocked by the scene before them.

Originally, after entering the underground world, they had followed the magic guidance that the Empire mage Jingle had left on the treasures of the Empire treasury.

They didn’t expect to meet so many barbarians here!
