Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1132 Trigger

“BOOM!!!”

The explosion sounded again.

The blackthorn clone had been reduced to dust by a single strike from Mikhael!

The crystal dust in the air exploded.

!!

Eh?

Looking up at the crystal dust around him, Mikhael let out a soft gasp.

The black crystal dust that exploded in the air was slowly gathering in one direction.

The crystal dust gradually condensed into specks of starlight, before quickly condensing into crystals of blackthorn. It seemed that it would soon form another blackthorn clone.

Special life forms.

He actually couldn’t be killed?

Mikhael’s heart sank.

Seeing that Mikhael had taken the lead, Wei Tao led the team of players and immediately joined the battlefield.

Even though Wei Tao didn’t know what Fang Heng was up to, as a teammate, he chose to trust Fang Heng 100%.

Fang Heng also knew in his heart that the difficulty of the mission he had received this time was extremely high. It was obvious that just by relying on Mikhael and the players’ team, they were no match for the eight blackthorn clones.

The mission difficulty rating of S-level was most likely to consider the human forces as allies.

At the thought of this, Fang Heng quickly ran out from the side and shouted, “Stop them, they want to harm Princess Mingyue!”

The Empire royal guard Cheng Jiqiang recognized Fang Heng immediately and shouted, “Lord Fang Heng, where is Her Highness Mingyue?”

“The barbarians’ target is the royal family’s secret treasure. Her Highness Mingyue is protecting the secret treasure from the back of the cave!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the game prompt refreshed his retina again.

[Hint: The player team has triggered the trial’s main mission-the heir of the barbarians.]

Mission title: Heir of the barbarians.

Mission difficulty: SS.

Mission description: You have found the barbarian camp in the underground world and accidentally discovered one of the successors of the barbarian leader, Wangnet.

Mission requirements: Intercept (repel or kill) Wangnet.

Current mission completion rate: 0%

Mission reward: Increase in the trial score and additional trial time (rewards are based on mission completion rate). Rewards will not be triggered if the mission completion rate is lower than 50%; if the completion rate is lower than 20%, there will be a failure penalty, and the remaining trial time will be deducted by 1-6 hours.

Seeing the game prompt that appeared, the team players had different expressions.

After fighting with the game for so long, the SS-level difficulty mission was still triggered.

The mission target was the inheritor of the barbarian leader who was in a Tier 3 demonized state.

Could this battle be fought?

The only good news was that the penalty for mission failure had been reduced and was still within control.

Fang Heng flashed to the side of Wei Tao and Mikhael, where both of them were commanding the players’ team, and whispered, “Let’s split up and focus on the follow-up mission. We’ll give up on the main mission depending on the situation. You guys help us block the barbarians while I go find Mingyue. There’s still a chance. Don’t give up.”

“Yes,” Mikhael replied, as he raised his purple essence long sword and charged at the blackthorn clone in front of him.

“Alright, leave this to us. Go ahead and do what you need to do.”

Wei Tao gritted his teeth and replied.

If he failed the mission, then so be it. At most, he would just give up on the six hours of trial time!

Just as they were about to command their combat team to think of a way to resist the blackthorn clone, a line of game notifications appeared on the retinas of Wei Tao and the others.

[Hint: Qiu Yaokang, a special character of the player’s trial team, has solved the initial puzzle of the trial game. The player’s trial score will be increased to S+. The player will get an extra 8 hours of trial time.]

“Huh?”

The sudden game notification made Wei Tao’s heart skip a beat, and he rubbed his eyes in surprise.

What was going on?

Great news?

Qiu Yaokang?

It’s a very familiar name. Was he an NPC that Fang Heng brought out from the game?

Wei Tao couldn’t help but take a look at Fang Heng’s location.

With this good news, he was even more confident.

Fang Heng also saw the game prompt.

It seemed that Qiu Yaokang had made a breakthrough in his research.

Fang Heng looked around the battlefield as he thought about this. He immediately accelerated and chased in the direction of Tang Mingyue.

…

Griffin City.

In the intermediate scientific research laboratory that he had just rented not long ago, Qiu Yaokang pushed open the door of the sealed laboratory.

Mo Jiawei was sleeping on the table in a daze. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he suddenly quivered.

When he looked up and saw Qiu Yaokang standing in front of him, Mo Jiawei suddenly sobered up.

...

“Genius Qiu, how is it? Do you lack something again?”

During this period, Mo Jiawei had been accompanying Qiu Yaokang in his research.

Almost every once in a while, Qiu Yaokang would run out of the research room and ask Mo Jiawei for some unclear research materials or advanced research equipment.

Mo Jiawei simply led more than 20 players to serve Qiu Yaokang all day long.

If he needed any equipment or materials, they would help him find them all over the world, and do their best to meet Qiu Yaokang’s research and development requirements.

“Not at the moment.”

Qiu Yaokang said as he moved his neck to stretch his muscles.

His body was a little stiff because he had not moved for a long time, and his bones were making creaking sounds.

“Not lacking? Then why did you come out?”

Mo Jiawei was still in a daze from his sleep. As he spoke, he was stunned for a moment before he asked in surprise, “Wait, you’re saying that there’s a discovery in the research?”

“Yes.”

...

Qiu Yaokang’s expression was as calm as ever. He nodded and said, “I’ve analyzed Fang Heng’s blood sample, the sample taken from the demon of the underground world, and the sample taken from the demonized barbarian.”

“After comparing the three, I came to a conclusion.”

Mo Jiawei felt a little nervous. He swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, “What’s the conclusion?”

“The Hila virus,” Qiu Yaokang said word by word.

Mo Jiawei was stunned and blurted out, “Ah? The Hila virus? What did you just say?”

He had never expected to hear this name after leaving the elementary game.

“Yes, from the analysis of the samples taken from the demonized barbarians and the ‘demons’, there are some viruses in their bodies, and this virus has more than 70% similarity with the Hila virus. I think that the ancestors of these viruses are of the same origin.”

Mo Jiawei found it a little hard to understand, “Genius Qiu, can you explain it in a simpler way? I don’t understand.”

“Well, you can understand it as the zombies in our world. Zombies are life forms formed after being infected by the virus. In contrast to this world, the demonized barbarians and the ‘evil demons’ in the underground world who were tempted by the demonic seed were also infected by the virus. However, they had different forms after being infected by the virus.”

Qiu Yaokang took out an analysis report with a blue cover and explained, “This is the detailed report. Due to Fang Heng’s special physique, his body was affected by the Hila virus and has an ability similar to ‘immortality’.”

“The ‘undying’ ability is the effect of the Hila virus. The virus in his body has evolved to a higher level, so his blood has a great suppression ability against low-level viruses of the same origin.”
