Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1123 Taking Action

After a careful inspection, Fang Heng couldn’t help but reveal a difficult expression.

It turned out that he was just unlucky.

Previously, when Wei Tao was attacking the Licker, he happened to encounter the barbarian team attacking the Land of Plague. The game notification that the Licker was attacked was drowned out by the vast amount of game notifications and could not be seen.

It seemed that this method of communication was not very stable.

Fang Heng shrugged helplessly, “I’m sorry. I ran into some trouble earlier. There were too many game hints and I missed it.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now,” Wei Tao said seriously. “We just received a mission notification. It’s very troublesome.”

After which Wei Tao announced the mission he had just triggered.

The mission could be triggered by choice.

If the player chose to accept and complete the first phase of the mission, the subsequent team mission would be triggered by default. On the other hand, if the mission was not completed within a certain period of time, the player would be considered to have abandoned the mission.

“It’s like this. When we were clearing the barbarian camp…”

Mikhael told him about the discovery of the captives and said, “We’ve found out that the barbarians have a very secret camp in the underground world. The camp is set up near Atama.”

Wei Tao continued, “Now, a large portion of the Empire’s military forces has been mobilized to the front line as reinforcements. We are worried that if the barbarians suddenly attack Atama…”

“What?”

Fang Heng read the mission description carefully and revealed a suspicious look.

The barbarians were preparing to attack the Empire’s capital?

They were so bold?

“There’s no problem with what you said. However, the Empire’s reinforcement team has been transferred away. Now is the best time for the barbarians to invade and launch a surprise attack. Why haven’t they made a move yet?”

Mikhael shrugged his shoulders and said, “Who knows? Maybe they’re going to make a move tonight.”

“I think the barbarians have been hiding underground, waiting for an opportunity to strike.”

Wei Tao nodded and analyzed, “The barbarians are still not as strong as the Empire. Even if they launch a surprise attack, the success rate of breaking into the Empire’s capital by force is still very low. So, could it be that their goal is not to take over the Empire’s capital…”

After hearing Wei Tao’s analysis, Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue exchanged a glance with each other, their expressions changing slightly.

The two of them had the same guess.

No way?

It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?

Could it be that the barbarians had their eyes on the royal treasury as well?!

Eh?

Wait a minute!

Fang Heng suddenly had an idea.

The barbarian race!

It didn’t matter what the barbarian’s goal was.

Anyway, they now knew that the barbarians had an underground camp in the underground world near the Empire.

Could he make use of this?

The royal treasury was stolen, so someone had to take the blame, right?

The barbarian race!

They could make use of them!

After stealing the items from the royal treasury, he would lead the pursuers in the direction of the barbarians!

At that time, the situation would be even more chaotic.

It was the best time to fish in muddy waters.

Seeing Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue communicating with their eyes, Wei Tao frowned and asked, “What are both of you thinking of?”

“Oh, nothing. I just thought of something else. It has nothing to do with the barbarian race.”

Tang Mingyue waved her hand and denied it repeatedly.

“Alas, it’s not easy to lead a team…”

Wei Tao sighed in his heart. He could tell that these two people had some secret.

“Alright, I’ve called everyone here urgently to discuss whether we should accept this mission or not. However, the difficulty of the follow-up mission is extremely high, at least SS-level, or even SSS-level.”

Wei Tao was conflicted about this.

Previously, the S-level difficulty mission had almost caused the team to fail. Now that the difficulty had increased, what if they messed up the trial?

The risk was too great.

He was still quite unwilling to directly reject the mission,

Everyone fell into silence.

Fang Heng thought for a while and looked at Wei Tao, saying, “I actually have an idea.”

“Oh?”

Wei Tao looked at Fang Heng, “What idea?”

“What if…” Fang Heng coughed lightly and glanced at Tang Mingyue from the corner of his eyes. “Ahem, I mean if, if we remain neutral, what will happen? ”

…

...

After listening to Fang Heng’s idea, Wei Tao and Mikhael looked at each other.

He called this “neutral”?

Mikhael tried to confirm what Fang Heng said. “What you mean is that we should put aside the mission for the time being and not warn the Empire. Instead, we should find a way to lure the barbarians and the people of the Empire out, let the Empire discover the barbarians in the underground world, and wait for the barbarians to fight with the Empire. Then, we can hide in the dark and see how we can reap the benefits.”

“Yes, if you put it that way. That’s what I meant.”

Tang Mingyue kept nodding as she listened. “That’s a good idea. The difficulty of the follow-up mission is SS-level, so it’s definitely not that simple. Instead of taking the risk to participate in the mission, it’s better to watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits from the side.”

“If the humans have the advantage, we’ll help them fight the barbarians. If the barbarians have the advantage, we’ll run away and save the two Empire bosses.”

“The worst case scenario is that we don’t get anything and we don’t lose anything, right?”

Wei Tao pondered for a moment. It seemed to make sense. However, he felt that something was off.

“Fang Heng, Mingyue, are you two hiding something from us?”

“What are you saying? How can that be? We’re teammates.”

Tang Mingyue waved her hands in denial.

...

Wei Tao looked at these time bombs in his team and felt helpless.

“The risk is still too high. How can we make the Empire discover the barbarian camp? Besides, we don’t have much time. If we don’t handle this well, we might become enemies with the Empire.”

“It’s fine. Leave this to us. We have a way.”

Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue looked at each other and nodded.

“Really?”

Wei Tao looked at the two of them and saw their determined expressions at the same time. He sighed in his heart and nodded. “Alright then, we’ll try what you said.”

“Brother Tao is awesome!”

Tang Mingyue couldn’t hide her excitement. She raised her fist and bumped it with Fang Heng’s fist.

“If there’s any danger in the process, I’ll immediately stop the operation.”

“Sure.” Fang Heng nodded and said, “Let’s not waste any time. The barbarians may take action at any time. Mingyue, you arrange the battle plan. I’ll control the zombies to dig the tunnel and help with the transportation of materials.”

“Okay, when will you be ready?”

Fang Heng took a look at the efficiency of the zombie clones digging the underground tunnel and estimated the time. He nodded and said, “Five hours later, at 4:30 a.m. We’ll act on time.”

…

Early in the morning, in the capital, Atama, the Empire’s military warehouse was brightly lit.

Outside the gate, more than ten warehouse guards were doing their duty loyally.

There were twice as many people on duty today. Two of the guards had just woken up and were still a little dazed.
