Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1324 The Source

It hurt!

Fang Heng felt intense pain and his body twitched violently. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

A familiar face appeared in front of him.

“Yimamu?”

There were a few people standing beside Yimamu. They were all followers whom he had met a few times in the trial.

Fang Heng felt dizzy and heard an excited shout in his ear.

“He’s still alive! Come over and help!”

The Holy Paladin Johann immediately rushed over, and the surrounding followers also followed. They cooperated to move away the stone slab that was pressing on Fang Heng.

“Hiss…!”

The stone slab was moved, and Fang Heng felt a piercing pain in his right leg. He gasped.

“Don’t move first. Your leg is broken.”

Johann reached out and pressed his hand on Fang Heng’s shoulder to signal him not to move. Then, he nodded at the two followers behind him. He said, “Healing spell.”

The two of them walked forward. One of them opened the Book of Creation and cast a healing prayer. The other followers also cast healing spells.

[Hint: You have received the healing effect of the healing prayer. Your HP has continuously recovered. The recovery effect will be interrupted in battle.]

[Hint: The player’s right leg is currently fractured and is healing under the healing spell effect. This state is slowly recovering. Any battle or running behavior may aggravate this state. Current recovery time: 2 hours 53 minutes.]

A gentle holy aura enveloped the injured area, and the pain in Fang Heng’s body lessened slightly.

“Thank you.”

Johann asked, “Fang Shuo, what just happened here?”

Just like Yimamu, the followers all looked at Fang Heng questioningly.

After separating from Fang Heng and the others, the few followers followed the Holy Paladin’s guidance and entered a quiet room to wait. They did not expect to hear a violent explosion outside.

It was only when the explosion had completely stopped that Holy Paladin Johann led everyone out to investigate.

The entire lower half of the cathedral was under the rubble, and the entrance to the hall where Fang Heng was was also blocked by a large amount of gravel.

Johann spent a lot of effort clearing the stones that were blocking the way and breaking through the door.

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment and looked around.

Looking at the hall that was already half destroyed, the scenes before he fainted gradually replayed in his mind.

Explosion…

Right, there was an explosion here!

Fang Heng looked around and asked, “Where are the others?”

Johann shook his head with a heavy expression. They had already done a quick check after entering the hall. There were many dead Holy Paladins and priests on the floor of the hall. Fang Heng was the first to be found among the crushed ruins.

The others had not been discovered yet. They might have been buried deeper in the ruins, or they might have died in the explosion without a corpse.

Johann determined that the hall was the source of the previous explosion.

And now, Fang Heng was the only witness.

Only he knew what had happened here!

Johann pressed Fang Heng’s shoulder and asked with a serious expression, “Fang Shuo, I need you to carefully recall what happened after the judge brought you into the hall. This is very important to us.”

Fang Heng had not fully recovered his memories from before the explosion. He tried hard to think and frowned. He tried to recollect, “I remember that the space passage in the holy realm opened…”

Johann’s eyes lit up.

The holy realm’s space passage?

No wonder Sanjay was so mysterious as to let them leave and even invited the elders to attend the ritual.

So it was to open the holy realm’s space passage.

But why?

Was there something important that required him to open a passageway to the holy realm?

Johann temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to ask, “Yes, the space passage has been opened. What happens after that?”

Fang Heng once again carefully thought about every scene that happened before he fainted.

His memories gradually became clearer. He remembered the golden light that had appeared from the holy realm’s space passage. There was also the illusion that appeared before his eyes.

Drops of blood dripped down.

Then, there was an explosion.

Wait, before that…

He seemed to have seen a special game hint.

No way!

Fang Heng thought of something and his pupils constricted. He immediately checked the game log.

He found it!

[Hint: You have killed Judge Sanjay of the Holy Court. The player is currently in disguise. If the player chooses to abandon the disguise, he will obtain the Empire reputation points and the heir to the Empire reputation points, but his affinity with the Holy Court will decrease greatly.]

Not only Sanjay, but more than a dozen elders of the Holy Court’s Elders Council also died in the explosion!

The game system determined that he was the one who did it!

Fang Heng’s brain worked quickly and he immediately came to a conclusion.

He was the source of the explosion!

Why? What was going on?

How did the explosion come about?

Johann saw the surprise that flashed across Fang Heng’s face and asked, “What did you remember?”

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Johann, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

No, telling the truth was definitely not possible.

He had killed so many judges and elders of the Holy Court. If word got out, he would definitely be courting death.

If he was lucky, there would be no one else alive except him. He had to find an excuse to sneak past them!

He didn’t need to lie for a long time. He only needed to lie for a short period of time.

What excuse?

Fang Heng quickly recalled all the information he had read about the Holy Court.

There it was!

Fang Heng’s eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately pretended to be afraid and turned his head to avoid Johann’s gaze. He whispered, “I know the details, but I think I heard them talking about God’s punishment.”

God’s punishment?

Johann’s heart trembled when he heard that.

So everything that happened just now was caused by God’s punishment?

Thinking about it carefully, it was true that such a high-intensity explosion had directly destroyed more than half of the church. Even the judges were in danger.

If this wasn’t the descent of God’s punishment, then what was it?

But why?

What exactly did they do to anger the holy realm, to the point of even causing the holy realm to send down God’s punishment?

Johann didn’t know.

He was only an elite Holy Paladin, so he knew very little.

His mood was at rock bottom.

Ruined, everything was ruined.

When God’s punishment descended, not only did a large number of judges, Holy Paladins, and priests that the Holy Court had nurtured over the years die under God’s punishment, but even the entire Elders Council was destroyed.

This was the foundation of their Holy Court, the legacy of the Holy Court over the years!

Johann was extremely depressed. He felt as if he had been abandoned by God. Everything seemed to have become meaningless.

“Holy Paladin, we…”

Johann perked up and looked at the group of followers gathered around him. He said in a deep voice, “Search carefully again and see if there are any other survivors.”

“Yes, sir!”

The followers responded and spread out again to look for survivors.

Fang Heng also picked up the scepter that had fallen not far from him and tried to stand up.

Without the fast recovery effect of the undying body, it would be very troublesome once he was injured. For instance, he had a mere fracture but it could not heal quickly.

Fang Heng could only try to use the scepter as a walking stick and take a few steps forward.
