Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1447 Besieged

The Rand Chamber of Commerce was in the periphery area of the Frost Hell.

It was in the middle of a certain valley.

The Rand Chamber of Commerce was surrounded by undead creatures.

From the very beginning, the Rand Chamber of Commerce had no intention of competing with the other large chambers of commerce during the Hunting Day. They were cautious and didn’t dare to make any big moves. After entering the Frost Hell, they immediately went to a very small gathering area.

Little did they expect to be ambushed by members of the Culodi Trading Company.

There were only three exits in the entire valley. By the time the Rand Chamber of Commerce reacted, they were already surrounded by a large number of undead creatures.

Wendy’s face was solemn. She looked at the people from the Culodi Trading Company who had gathered not far away and said in a deep voice, “City Lord has ordered that no one is allowed to kill each other in the Frost Hell. Aren’t you afraid of being held accountable by the City Lord once you leave?”

“Huh? Held accountable?”

A young man walked out from the crowd outside with an arrogant smile on his face. “Being held accountable? What for? You guys just miscalculated the situation. You were accidentally surrounded by the undead creatures and died in the valley. What does it have to do with our Culodi Trading Company?”

Wendy bit her lip.

She knew that young man. He was the next generation nurtured by the Culodi Trading Company. His name was Gano. Some time ago, he had made all kinds of obstacles in the open and the dark, causing a considerable impact on their business.

Elisa looked worried as she whispered, “Wendy, they seem to be able to control these undead creatures and want to use them against us.”

“Alright.”

Outside, more and more undead creatures were swarming into the valley.

The huge soul stone that the Rand Chamber of Commerce brought along could reduce the attack probability of the surrounding undead creatures. But there were too many undead creatures around. So the effect was greatly reduced.

Helplessly, the team gathered in the center and relied on the burning soul flame to weaken the strength of the surrounding undead creatures.

However, soul flame required fuel and a continuous supply of mental strength from the team.

When the flame burned out, they would definitely be swallowed by the surrounding undead creatures.

Wendy focused her gaze on the Culodi Trading Company members in the distance. “Our Rand Chamber of Commerce has always done business in an honest manner. Even if we have some business conflicts with you, there’s no need to be so ruthless, right?”

“Haha. Done business in an honest way?”

Gano seemed to have heard something very funny and couldn’t help but laugh. “So you still don’t know anything. Idiots. You are really idiots. You don’t even know how you will die.”

A few months ago, she had a vague feeling that several major Chamber of Commerce were targeting them.

At first, she thought that the major Chamber of Commerce felt that the Rand Chamber of Commerce had developed too quickly in the past few years and had reached an agreement with each other to kick them out.

But now, it seemed like it wasn’t just that.

Gano’s intuition told him that he had the situation under control. He was a little carried away by his pride and could not help but taunt, “You bunch of idiots. You don’t even know that the stone in your hands is a treasure.”

What stone?

Elisa turned around in surprise and looked at the soul stone placed beside the soul flame.

This stone was probably found by Elisa and Wendy a few months ago when they were tidying up the old family warehouse.

The Rand Chamber of Commerce used to be in the pawn business. And they had found many pawned items in the old warehouse.

Like other items, the stone was unclaimed after hundreds of years and automatically belonged to the Rand Chamber of Commerce.

Wendy asked someone to study the stone and found that it had the effect of concealing the aura of life form. Besides its weight, it could be said to be extremely useful.

At the moment, they relied on the life aura-shielding effect of the stone to prevent the nearby horde of undead creatures from becoming even more frenzied.

Did it have other unknown properties?

Was this the reason why the Culodi Trading Company was targeting them everywhere?

Several thoughts flashed through Wendy’s mind. And then she immediately said in a deep voice, “I’ll give you the stone if you let us go.”

“Heh. Now do you want to obediently hand it over? Unfortunately, it’s a little too late. I don’t want to be entangled with your Rand Chamber of Commerce in the future.”

Gano sneered. “You should have agreed when I asked someone to buy your stone at a high price. Who made you so greedy?”

Elisa focused her mind and continuously poured her mental strength into the soul flame. She whispered, “Wendy, the soul flame can only last for two hours at most. The longer we delay, the more undead creatures there will be. While we still have combat strength, we should think of a way to escape as soon as possible.”

“Just wait a little longer. The signal has been sent out. Wait a bit longer.”

Wendy replied in a low voice, “I’m getting people to prepare. Their target is the stone. When we leave, I’ll destroy the stone. When the time comes, we should take the shrapnel and escape separately. The shrapnel can block our aura and evade the undead attacks. When we retreat, you don’t have to worry about me. Go alone first. We’ll make it out as many as we can.”

Gano saw the few of them talking softly and sneered. “What? Do you still want someone to save you? That Fang Heng? Don’t waste your time. They’ve already ventured deep into the Frost Hell. Our people have been watching them all this time. It’s impossible for them to come back in time. So, it’s better for you to be obedient. The sooner you give up resisting, the sooner we’ll finish this.”

As he spoke, a subordinate hurried over and whispered something in Gano’s ear.

“Hmm? What did you say?”

Gano was stunned when he heard that. He then turned around to look at the back of the team.

A commotion broke out at the rear of the team.

In the distance, a large number of Ice Bones attracted by the holy aura had been stimulated by something. They ignored the aura barrier around them and directly attacked the Culodi Trading Company members.

The Culodi Trading Company was caught off guard by the attack. For a moment, they were caught off guard. And some minor chaos appeared in the team.

Different from before, the pupils of this group of Ice Bones flickered with scarlet soul flames.

What was going on?

“Bring me over to take a look!”

Ignoring the besieged Rand Chamber of Commerce, Gano personally rushed towards the rear of the team. And he discovered that a large number of out-of-control Ice Bones had appeared behind them. They stumbled into the barrier area and engaged the team in battle.

“Get lost! Stay away from me!”

Gano frowned and shouted as he poured his mental strength into the dark green rune stone in his hand again.

A buzzing sound came over.

The rune stone emitted a faint light, enveloping the team with a transparent shield.

It was actually ineffective.

Why was that?

Gano fiddled with the green rune stone in his hand and suddenly panicked.

Why was it ineffective?

What was wrong?

Not far away, Fang Heng had been hiding in the dark.

He had been here for more than ten minutes and had been observing the situation.

Gano’s team used the silver nail magic tool they had seen before to set up a small magic array near the entrance of the valley. Through the magic array, the holy aura was guided into the center of the valley where the Rand Chamber of Commerce team was located.

Large numbers of Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits nearby were attracted by the holy aura.

Then, Gano used the green stone in his hand to create a special barrier around the area.

The undead creatures seemed to be unable to sense the presence of Gano’s team after being attracted here. So they attacked the Ed Chamber of Commerce members in the valley.
