Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2553  Preparing for Evacuation

From the perspective of attributes, the Licker's dimensional energy had a crushing effect on the zombies.

Even when facing environmental suppression, the impact remained significant.

[Hint: The player's zombie clone (Licker form) is affected by the environment and suffers from undead corrosion effects, reducing defense by 70% and losing 3% of its maximum HP per second.]

[Hint: The player's zombie clone (Licker form) had dealt 8,380 points of tearing damage to the zombie guards of Empress Persephone's mausoleum...]

Fang Heng saw the game notifications rapidly appearing in his vision.

The resurrected zombies in the mausoleum had weak attack capabilities, relying primarily on their numbers, the buffs from the death realm environment, and the advantages of their inscriptions to deal extra damage.

A massive horde of zombies surged out of the mausoleum, quickly pushing back against the creatures pouring into the passage, devouring them at an astonishing speed.

Phew...

Li Shaoqiang and his companion let out a sigh of relief upon witnessing the scene. Maintaining their Death God state, they sat down to rest.

Their attributes were far inferior to Fang Heng's, and the continuous battle had already drained a significant amount of their energy.

Fang Heng observed that the Licker swarm had taken control of the situation, allowing him to relax. He gradually released his perception and began communicating with the Lickers to explore the mausoleum.

Now that he confirmed his zombie clones could survive in the mausoleum environment, he didn't need to venture out himself to scout. Instead, he could let the zombie clones handle the exploration for him.

...

In the undead council hall, the high-ranking necromancy instructors fell into a moment of silence as they observed Fang Heng and his team.

Just moments earlier, they had been anxious when Li Shaoqiang was injured. To their surprise, in a matter of seconds, Fang Heng summoned a large number of Licker creatures, swiftly turning the tide of battle.

"Lickers..."

Georgi murmured, gazing at the creatures in the mirror.

Indeed, they were impressive!

Fang Heng had once again amazed him. It seemed the Lickers could easily counter the zombies within Empress Persephone's mausoleum.

This indicated that they now possessed the ability to explore the second basement of the mausoleum.

There was even a chance they could find the burial site of Empress Persephone!

As several high-ranking instructors of the undead council excitedly contemplated this, they suddenly heard a loud bang.

The heavy door of the council hall was pushed open from the outside.

Everyone turned to look at the entrance.

"Ell?"

Seeing the necromancy instructor Ell hurriedly enter the Great Hall, everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Wasn't Ell supposed to be with Fang Heng in the death realm?

He should still be in the death realm. How did he suddenly appear here?

"Everyone."

Ell's face was pale.

His condition wasn't good; he had just forcibly interrupted the connection of the soul mirror to escape the death realm, which had caused significant damage to his mental strength.

Ell took a deep breath to steady himself and nodded to the others, "There's been a special situation outside the mausoleum. We can confirm that this isn't just an ordinary death storm."

Hearing this, everyone finally snapped back to reality.

They had been so focused on Fang Heng and the others that they hadn't paid attention to what was happening outside the mausoleum.

Now, they all looked toward the mirror projection showing the location of the necromancy instructor team outside the mausoleum.

The scene outside had completely transformed.

The scene resembled an impending apocalypse, with black storms raging fiercely, forming a massive black eye in the sky.

What was going on?!

The mirror projection became hazy under the influence of some unknown force, yet there was still a palpable sense of terrifying power gathering within the storm.

Everyone looked at the storm in the mirror, their eyes filled with gravity.

"We're feeling it even more intensely on site. This is not an ordinary death realm storm; there are numerous high-tier undead creatures within it," Ell paused before continuing, "We suspect that this death realm storm is heading towards the mausoleum. We were blocked from advancing and couldn't notify anyone, so I immediately left the projection state to report the situation."

Uncertain whispers began to circulate in the council hall, echoing the sudden deterioration of the situation.

Georgi gathered several high-ranking members of the undead council, forming a small circle to quietly discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone."

After a moment, Georgi raised his hand to temporarily silence the ongoing discussions and looked around at the gathered members, "Fang Heng and his companions are our people in the undead council. Not only are they crucial for the exploration of the mausoleum, but their entry into the death realm was initiated by us. While we cannot confirm whether the undead storm is specifically targeting them, our primary concern must be to ensure their safety."

"The council proposes to utilize the power of a holy weapon to open a spatial passage shield, escorting Fang Heng and his team to safety from the death realm."

Upon hearing this, the council hall fell into a brief silence.

"However..." a necromancy scholar frowned and stood up. "Sir, opening the soul passage requires a substantial amount of souls. Moreover, we would be opening a passage to the death realm, which could cause irreversible damage to the holy weapon..."

The room was soon filled with hushed conversations as everyone weighed the implications of this decision.

"Does the decision to escort Fang Heng and his group out require a formal vote?"

Georgi waved his hand, silencing the murmurs that rose in response. He glanced at the instructor and shook his head, "No need for a vote. This has already been unanimously approved by the upper echelons of the necromancy council, which has the authority to make such decisions." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He continued with determination, "Contact Fang Heng immediately through the stone slab. We need to prepare to use the holy weapon to ensure their safe withdrawal."

"Understood!"

...

In the mausoleum, Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo found a moment of respite after Fang Heng summoned a group of Lickers.

A few minutes later, Tan Shuo's stone slab began to glow again, displaying a lengthy message.

Noticing Tan Shuo's furrowed brow, Li Shaoqiang leaned in closer. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Uh, there's trouble outside the mausoleum," Tan Shuo replied, nodding as he gestured for Fang Heng to come over. "Mr. Fang, you need to see this."

Fang Heng approached, and upon reading the contents of the stone slab, his expression turned grave. While they had temporarily dealt with the zombie creatures inside the mausoleum, new problems were arising outside.

Indeed, his earlier premonition had been correct.

The death realm storm outside was abnormal!

"Mr. Fang, the undead instructors are ready," Tan Shuo said, examining the new information on the stone slab. "They'll use the power of the holy weapon to create a passage that will safely escort us out of the undead storm. We need to return to the mausoleum exit and meet up with them within half an hour."

With that, Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang both looked up at Fang Heng.
