Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

975 In-depth Investigation

“Who is it?” Zhong Haoyang turned around warily.

“It’s fine. It’s just a rock falling. You’re too nervous. Relax,” Fang Heng said with studied casualness. However, when he saw Zhong Haoyang’s face, he suddenly sensed something and narrowed his eyes involuntarily. There was a strange look of inspection in his eyes.

“Uh…” Zhong Haoyang gulped and asked carefully, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Fang Heng realized that Zhong Haoyang’s lifeblood circulation speed had increased a little under the surrounding mist.

They had been here for a few minutes. Was it because of the increased concentration of the blood mist?

Fang Heng’s blood affinity had reached a very high level, so he was exceptionally sensitive to the speed of blood flow.

“Don’t move, spread out your palms.”

Zhong Haoyang was baffled, but he still followed Fang Heng’s instructions and opened his palm.

“Whoosh!”

Fang Heng’s finger quickly moved forward and made a small cut on Zhong Haoyang’s thumb.

Zhong Haoyang frowned and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.

“Don’t move!” Fang Heng immediately said.

“Eh?” Zhong Haoyang raised his eyebrows.

He was surprised to find that the blood that seeped out of his thumb quickly condensed into tiny droplets, which quickly melted into the air.

“This…”

“This cave is very unusual,” Fang Heng nodded, “Take care of the wound. Try not to leave any external injuries during battles.”

“Hey, then why are you still using me as an experiment?”

With a bitter face, Zhong Haoyang took out a quick-acting bandage from his backpack and put it on his thumb.

…

Following the route shown on the tablet, Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang quickly arrived at the nearest cavern.

After being verified by two Federation members at the entrance of the cavern, Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang stepped into the cavern together.

The cavern was spacious, and there were many members of the Federation’s operations department guarding it.

More than a dozen players had gathered in a corner of the cave, and they were currently loudly arguing about something. Each and every one of them had faces flushed red with anger.

Fang Heng’s thoughts moved.

Most of them were ordinary players, and their flushed faces were only the surface. The blood in their bodies flowed faster than the Federation soldiers who had their initial attributes enhanced. They were obviously all affected by the mist.

“Zhong Haoyang, what are you doing here?”

Turning around to look at the person who had come, Zhong Haoyang’s heart skipped a beat, and he knew that things were not looking good.

He just had to bump into this guy.

Unfortunately, the other party was his superior. Zhong Haoyang suppressed his displeasure and stepped forward to salute the officer, “Sir!”

Yao Weihua was in charge of guarding several cavern areas and was also one of the representatives of the 12 corporations in the Western region. He had a faint knife scar on his forehead and was used to putting on a stern face, giving people a feeling that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing Zhong Haoyang, Yao Weihua could not help but frown, “What are you doing here instead of staying in the game?”

“Sir, I know a friend in the game who knows a lot about vampires, so I brought him here to check the vampire’s curse mark. I hope he can find something.”

“A friend from District 9?” Yao Weihua looked at Fang Heng with disdain, “District 9 has just been opened. What does he know?”

Zhong Haoyang could only bite the bullet and say, “I’m sorry, Sir! I’ll take him away now!”

Fang Heng was neither haughty nor humble, “It’s true that District 9 has only been open for less than 10 years. But I have studied the ancient books of the vampire Elders Council. I may know some things that others don’t.”

“No one is asking you,” Yao Weihua didn’t take Fang Heng seriously at all. He waved his hand and said, “Take them out.”

“Don’t be in a hurry. Since he’s here, why don’t we let him try?”

Fang Heng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man sitting on a rock at the side. He was playing with a dagger in his hand as he said in a lazy tone, “We’ve waited for so long, but there’s still nothing. Let him try.”

The young man was surrounded by four other people, who were either standing or sitting, with different expressions. They were all clad in uniforms that looked different from the normal Federation members.

Fang Heng immediately made a judgment when he saw the group of five and the uniform they were wearing.

The Western Federation’s Inspection Bureau team.

Yao Weihua had some reservations about the Inspection Bureau, so he looked at Fang Heng and said, “Alright, I’ll give you a chance. I hope your ability matches your temper. Let him in.”

Fang Heng slowly stepped into the cave guarded by the Federation.

More than a dozen researchers from the Federation had been studying here for a few hours and found some clues. They were arguing about something and stopped at the same time when they saw Fang Heng coming.

They had also heard the conversation outside.

An expert from outside?

This was clear distrust in them.

Therefore, the crowd didn’t have a good impression of Fang Heng. They didn’t say anything and were prepared to see how capable he was.

Fang Heng walked forward.

There was a carved stone statue on the rock wall. Due to the erosion of time, the stone statue was a little mottled and covered with moss.

From a few details, it could be barely determined that the stone statue was a vampire carving.

It knelt on the ground in a praying gesture.

The floor in front of the stone statue was drawn with dense lines.

It was a vampire incantation.

Through the combination of vampire incantation and secret engravings, a special vampire’s ancient magic array was formed.

Fang Heng only knew a little about alchemy magic arrays.

“I hope the game hints can give me some information…” Fang Heng muttered in a low voice. He came to the stone statue and squatted to check the incantation on it carefully.

The magic array was ancient, at least a few hundred years old, and there were traces of it being repaired recently.

Fang Heng frowned.

The magic array was made up of a master array and two branch magic arrays.

Eh? He actually recognized it…

Fang Heng realized that he could remember every detail of the master magic array clearly.

This magic array was related to the Vampire King!

Fang Heng had been implanted with some memories when he first came into contact with the Vampire King’s coffin.

Most of them were about the awakening ritual of the Vampire King’s remains and the magic arrays on how to open a space passage.

The magic array before him was also one of the magic arrays in his memories.

“This magic array is…” Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Part of the knowledge and memory infused by the Vampire King’s Will was missing. Fang Heng knew that the effect of this magic array was for nurturing something, but he didn’t have the information of what that “something” was in his memory.

Other than that, there were two other small magic arrays set up beside the magic array.

The two small magic arrays were very new and must have been carved in recent years.

Fang Heng couldn’t understand them at all.

The strange thing was, why would there be a magic array left behind by the Vampire King in this place?

Fang Heng was suspicious and reached out to touch the incantation.

All of a sudden, a line of game hints appeared on Fang Heng’s retina.
