Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2407  Face-to-Face Talk

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang had come to contact Fang Heng on instructions from the Federal authorities.

In the past few months, the Eastern Federation had completely lost contact with Fang Heng. Hearing rumors about the appearance of Lickers, they suspected that Fang Heng might be hiding in the area, so they were sent on a mission to investigate.

"Speaking of which, what has Fang Heng been doing hiding in the valley? Is he avoiding some enemies?"

"Enemies? Are you talking about the Holy Realm?"

As they were speaking, the Lickers, which had been crowded in the valley, suddenly parted to both sides, creating a small path.

Something was happening!

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang immediately stopped talking, holding their breath and focusing intently on the figure that gradually emerged from the valley.

It was Fang Heng!

They saw Fang Heng walking out from among the scattered Lickers, his head lowered, looking deep in thought.

For the past two months, Fang Heng had been cultivating in the game world of Punoze.

Frost Hell was a great place, suitable for him to absorb the undead aura.

As usual, Fang Heng would finish arranging the zombie clones to grind during the day, then go offline to rest for a while, and at night, he would return to the library in Punoze to study.

The difficulty of leveling up his grandmaster-level necromancy was extremely high. Besides purifying and absorbing undead aura for experience, supplementing his theoretical knowledge could also quickly increase his experience points.

Thinking this, Fang Heng opened the game panel to check his progress.

[Grandmaster-level necromancy (Level: 5).]

[Master-level spatial science (Level: MAX).]

[High-tier sacred study (Level 9).]

High-tier natural science (Level: MAX).] n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

[High-tier alchemy (Level: MAX).]

[High-tier occult (Level: MAX).]

[Mid-tier psychic (Level: MAX).]

[Mid-tier sealing art (Level: MAX).]

[Mid-tier beast taming (Level: MAX).]

During this time, he couldn't go anywhere else, so he simply stayed in the Library of the Myriad Worlds and the world of Punoze, cultivating and honing his academic skills.

The results had been remarkable.

Aside from necromancy and sacred study, which had higher learning difficulties, all other academic disciplines had been maxed out.

To continue advancing, he needed to complete special missions.

Due to the limited worlds available for exploration, he couldn't level up for the time being.

As for necromancy and sacred study not being maxed out yet, necromancy had already reached grandmaster level, and the leveling speed was inherently slow.

Sacred study, on the other hand, suffered from a lack of channels for advancement.

Every day, he relied on the meager experience points provided by the Temple of Zeus in the Zombie Apocalypse, making it difficult to level up quickly.

Just as Teacher Gu Luo had said, after leveling up the other academic disciplines, the backlash effect from the imbalance of strength in the sea of consciousness had improved a bit.

However, he still couldn't fully activate his mental strength.

Fang Heng pondered that the best solution was to increase his sacred research level.

After all, he couldn't learn two conflicting bloodlines, so he could only compensate for that through his academic disciplines.

"Mr. Fang! Mr. Fang!! It's me! Do you remember?!"

Fang Heng's perception had already sensed the newcomers. He looked up and saw two familiar faces, raising a hand to greet them. "I was wondering who it was. What brings you here?"

Li Shaoqiang and his companion felt a wave of relief upon seeing Fang Heng and quickly ran over to join him.　  　 　　　  　　　 

"Mr. Fang," Tan Shuo said seriously as he stepped forward, "we're here representing the North District Federation. There's something very important we need to discuss with you face to face."

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's so serious?"

"We received reliable intelligence that the Holy Court is planning an operation against the undead faction."

At those words, Fang Heng's pupils dilated sharply.

Tan Shuo nodded. "We obtained this information through the Federation's information network. The Holy Court is prepared for an offensive, planning to invade low-level world boundaries through a descent ritual."

Fang Heng asked, "When? Where? What's the target?"

"It's expected to launch within 24 hours. The location is currently unknown, and the target is also unclear. The Holy Court has been preparing for this activity for over half a month, and we only just got wind of it from our spies within the Holy Court. We won't have concrete information until the operation officially begins."

"Why did you arrive to me? What's the undead faction's stance on this?"

"We immediately tried to alert the higher-ups in the undead faction, but unfortunately, it seems that most of the senior leaders have been unavailable lately. Many seasoned scholars are in closed-door cultivation, and we can't get in touch with them."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, contemplating the situation.

Indeed, it was quite a coincidence. Just over half a month ago, Teacher Gu Luo had left for an important matter and hadn't returned since.

It could be related to the assignment he mentioned two months prior.

Speaking of which, Ji Xiaobo had also participated in that mission. Originally, he was guarding the Mock Temple, but after its destruction, he had been pulled into a high-tier mission.

Now, just as the Holy Court was launching an attack...

Could it be that the Holy Court was deliberately orchestrating this?

This strategy felt very much like a player's tactic.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment before looking up and asking, "What does the Federation want from me?"

Tan Shuo hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to subtly suggest the Federation's higher-ups' intentions. Meanwhile, Li Shaoqiang directly stated, "The Federation doesn't want the undead to lose too quickly, nor do they want to see the Holy Court dominate completely."

This guy...

Tan Shuo shot a helpless glance at Li Shaoqiang.

Could he have made it any clearer?

Fang Heng stroked his chin thoughtfully.

It was evident that the Federation also had concerns about the Holy Court. When it came to their infiltration of the real world, the Federation was far more brazen than the undead.

"Alright, I understand. So, what does the Federation hope I'll do? I should mention that my current situation isn't too favorable, and recklessly entering the battlefield might cause even greater trouble."

"Yes, we understand that. That's why we hope to leverage your influence and connections with the undead upper echelon to rapidly relay this information to them. Additionally, we want to clarify where the high-tier combat strength of the undead faction has gone recently."

Fang Heng contemplation to himself that he wanted to know that as well.

"Understood. I'll think of a way, but don't put all your hopes on me."

"Of course, we've been trying other methods as well. By the way, there's another matter regarding the vampires..."

Tan Shuo paused, looking at Fang Heng.

In recent months, all vampire players underwent a significant enhancement in strength.

On the market, the vampire bloodline and related academic materials had become priceless, and even various items from the vampire game world were being sold at exorbitant prices.

This was not good news for the Federation.

The Federation had speculated that the vampires had already mastered dimensional energy.

All of this was related to Fang Heng.

"Vampires? What about them?"

"The Federation hopes to maintain a stable situation and has many things it wants to discuss with you in person."

"Alright, we'll see when the opportunity arises."
