Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2424  Walking Corpse

Fang Heng tried to twist his stiff arm.

His coordination was much better than it had been as a skeleton, but he still couldn't speak, only emitting low, guttural growls.

He scanned his surroundings.

His vision remained as blurry as before, with the entire world covered in a thick mosaic.

He could vaguely make out that he was inside a stone chamber, with coffins lined up vertically along the walls.

He had just emerged from one of those coffins.

Nearby, two similar zombie creatures approached him, transmitting a mental link.

It was indeed Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo.

"Mr. Fang, how's it going?"

Li Shaoqiang asked enthusiastically.

He felt that this was a great opportunity to advance his necromancy skills. Compared to the various missions he had undertaken in the past, this one seemed particularly easy and enjoyable!

"Since we're here, we might as well make the most of it."

Following Mr. Fang, who knew his stuff, he might even reach the master level in necromancy!

Tan Shuo, on the other hand, was more composed. After surveying the surroundings, he said, "It looks like this is a mausoleum stone chamber. The intruders must have crossed the outer Black Sand Bone Grounds and entered the mausoleum's inner region. The current mission will be carried out within the mausoleum."

"Mm."

Fang Heng nodded slightly.

Inside the stone chamber, coffins lined along the walls continued to explode, with a large number of zombies emerging from the shattered coffins, moving towards the passage leading out of the stone chamber.

"Let's go. We'll follow the zombies and see where they're heading."

Fang Heng nodded to the two of them and started walking towards the exit to explore.

The entire mausoleum was shrouded in a faint black mist.

The undead faction's scouting team had already suffered some losses while crossing the outer Black Sand Bone Grounds.

After a brief rest, they began their exploration of the mausoleum's interior.

... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the entrance on the other side of the mausoleum, Ji Xiaobo, protected by a group of personnel, slowly advanced along the passage.

This was not his first time here. Almost every previous attempt at exploring the mausoleum had cost him dearly.

The mausoleum was riddled with passages, secret tunnels, and traps. A single misstep could lead to getting teleported to unknown locations, causing one to lose their way in the passages.

Given his own lack of strength, Ji Xiaobo would inevitably be unable to withstand the attacks of the mausoleum's guards without the protection of his companions.

At this moment, he even thought it would be great if Mo Jiawei could be here with him.

"Xiaobo, stay close and don't get lost in the passages like before," came a commanding voice.

"Yes."

Ji Xiaobo responded with a drawn-out tone, nodding and following closely.

In the rear, after the first and second batches of high-ranking undead faction members had entered the passage, Feudal Lord Dani joined the third team to enter the mausoleum passage.

"Instructor, is the Empress buried within the mausoleum?"

"Yes." The instructor pondered for a moment before replying, "According to the information translated from the periphery, the Empress is indeed buried here. However, over the years, we have only roamed the outer and middle layers of the mausoleum and have never ventured into the core domain."

"Even so, the gains within the mausoleum will benefit us immensely."

The instructor paused for a moment, then continued, "In the last two undead council meetings, the central elders found the mausoleum of Empress Persephone's steed, which has yet to be explored. This time, the high-ranking undead faction members will likely return for further exploration."

"We won't follow them," the instructor added. "We'll look for a smaller mausoleum to explore. It's easy to get lost in the black fog, so just stick close to me."

Feudal Lord Dani nodded lightly, glancing ahead at the area shrouded in a thin layer of black fog. Her face showed a hint of contemplation as she responded, "Understood, Instructor."

In truth, Feudal Lord Dani had doubts.

The Empress of the realm of death... Persephone...

Dead?

Wasn't that a bit far-fetched?

Meanwhile, Fang Heng, Li Shaoqiang, and Tan Shuo surged into the passage along with a large number of reanimated corpses.

Unlike the Black Sand Bone Grounds outside, the mausoleum's terrain was much more confined. The invaders found it difficult to gather in large groups, and with the numerous traps and mechanisms within the mausoleum, they were often separated into smaller teams.

This seemed to make them easier to handle.

Of course, Fang Heng and his team decided to target the isolated and weaker opponents.

However, the reality was different.

During their passage through the Black Sand Bone Grounds, they had already eliminated a number of the weaker, solitary targets. In the mausoleum, the invaders were organized into small teams, making it harder to find isolated individuals.

"Mr. Fang! There are soft targets up ahead on the right!"

Hearing this, Fang Heng looked forward and saw a group of five invaders trapped in the middle of the road by the encroaching zombies. They were desperately trying to force their way through, attempting to break open a path.

From the blue flame aura surrounding them, their strength seemed relatively weak.

An opportunity!

Fang Heng thought to himself, sending a mental communication to Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang, "Let's move together. I'll engage them head-on; you two flank them from behind. Let's take them out!"

"Got it!"

The team quickly split up to execute the plan.

Fang Heng rushed down the passage, aiming to block the invaders' advance and cut off their escape route.

"Bone spear!!"

The five necromancy mages, having strayed too far from their main force during their exploration, were now surrounded by the swarm of zombies. They had no choice but to force their way forward, hoping to find a way out.

The three mages in front used bone spears repeatedly, conjuring and thrusting bone spears to pierce through the zombies and clear a path. The two mages in the rear dealt with the zombies pursuing them from behind.

While the bone spear was an elementary spell, high-tier necromancy mages wielded it with great efficiency—its power was high, its accuracy precise, and it was quickly conjured with minimal cost.

One attack could pierce through a mausoleum guard zombie!

Wait?

The necromancy mages soon realized something was off.

A zombie emerging from the crowd seemed unusually difficult to target, dodging several bone spear attacks.

"That zombie is problematic!"

"Take it out first!"

Upon hearing this, the other two necromancy mages quickly coordinated, directing their bone spear spells toward Fang Heng.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

Amid the chaotic battle, a particularly elusive zombie emerged from the horde, proving difficult to hit. Several bone spear projectiles had been dodged by this zombie.

"That zombie is problematic!"

"Deal with it first!"

Upon hearing the command, the other two necromancy mages quickly coordinated and released bone spears aimed at Fang Heng.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

Multiple bone spears flew toward Fang Heng.

"Bang!!!"

What the hell!

The three necromancy mages were momentarily stunned.

The bone spears had been effortlessly deflected by the zombie, which wielded a bone blade, causing the projectiles to explode in mid-air.

The necromancy mages caught off guard, saw the zombie rapidly closing the distance between them.

"It's a commander-level zombie! Be careful!"

One of the mages shouted, raising his scepter in front of him.

"Take him down!"

Bone spears pierced through the air once more.

A flash of wrath appeared in the necromancy mage's eyes.
