Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Novel - Chapter 1723
1723 A Strange Device
“Everyone, stop!”
Everyone turned to look at Sims.
Sims majored in spatial science and minored in psychics.
He looked at everyone with a solemn expression and explained, “Everyone, don’t continue forward. There’s a spatial trap ahead.”
A spatial trap?
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. He controlled the zombie clones to stop and looked at the entrance of the stone chamber again. He asked, “Is it a trigger-type spatial trap?”
Sims looked at Fang Heng in surprise, as if he was surprised that Fang Heng also knew spatial science.
He nodded and replied, “I can’t be sure about that, but it’s very similar.”
Fang Heng also took a few steps forward, trying to get closer to observe.
A spatial trap.
It was a trap that could only be set up after advancing to the grandmaster level of spatial science.
There were many types of traps.
Judging from the intensity of the current spatial fluctuations, it was very likely a large-scale spatial trap.
As for the trigger method, it was still uncertain.
Once the trap was triggered and the space collapsed, everything in the surroundings would be swallowed by the collapsed space.
Players who were proficient in spatial science still had a chance of survival. The other players would basically be annihilated.
Fang Heng asked after some thought, “Can you solve it?”
“I need to observe more.”
Fang Heng thought of Lu Yanlong and said, “I have a friend outside. He knows a lot about spatial science. Alright to let him in?”
Simms nodded and replied, “Of course, it would be better to have one more person to help.”
…
Soon, Lu Yanlong was led into the cave by a player of the Black Castle.
He squatted on the ground and checked for a moment. Then, his face became solemn and he kept muttering to himself.
“How is it? Can you handle it?”
Fang Heng walked to Lu Yanlong’s side and asked softly.
“Yes.”
Lu Yanlong thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Fang, what you found is a special spatial trap. Once the trap is triggered, the entire space will collapse. The trigger is inside the cave.”
Fang Heng asked, “Is there a way to solve it?”
“Yes, but it takes a lot of time.” Lu Yanlong stood up and shook his head before saying, “I want to take a look inside the space and confirm the specific situation of the spatial trap first.”
Fang Heng frowned.
“Is it extremely dangerous?”
“Once the trap is triggered, it is indeed very dangerous. However, as long as we don’t trigger the mechanism, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
As Lu Yanlong spoke, he raised his head and looked at the interior of the passage. He continued, “Mr. Fang, you’ve noticed that after mastering spatial science, we’re more sensitive to space. As long as we can determine the trigger point of the trap in advance and don’t touch it, we’ll be fine.”
Sims nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed, as long as we don’t trigger the trap, our safety can be guaranteed. We can go in and take a look. It’s safer for the others to stay here.”
Lu Yanlong continued, “I have a special scroll with me. If there are only three of us, I’m confident that I can bring you out even if the space collapses.”
Fang Heng felt much more at ease after receiving Lu Yanlong’s assurance.
Everyone quickly discussed for a while.
“Alright, the three of us will go in and investigate first.”
After the discussion, Fang Heng and the other two entered the stone chamber to investigate. The others left the area where the space collapsed and waited.
The three of them lined up in a row, and Lu Yanlong led them into the room. Fang Heng followed at the back of the team.
After stepping into the stone chamber, Fang Heng realized that the hall of the stone room in the center of the mausoleum was very spacious.
Due to the two stone pillars blocking the entrance, the area inside was actually much larger than the entrance from the outside.
There were not many decorations on the four walls of the hall. In the middle of the hall was a large stone coffin made of special jade.
Behind the stone coffin were seven alloy metal frames that were nearly two meters tall.
The shape of the frame looked a little strange.
It gave Fang Heng the feeling that it was a piece of art that lacked beauty. At first glance, it made him feel uncomfortable.
Dark purple prismatic crystals were scattered on both sides of the frame, and it looked like they were floating around the frame.
Lu Yanlong stopped in his tracks. His gaze focused on the frame and the dark purple prismatic crystals, and his expression became even more solemn.
Fang Heng could not help but look at the frame.
He could vaguely sense the fluctuation of spatial power from the dark purple prisms floating around the frame.
“Mr. Fang, look at that.” Lu Yanlong was also attracted by the frame. He pointed at it and said, “I think this should be the core device that controls the Void Stalkers outside to perform spatial transmission.”
“Oh?”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat, and he took a few more glances at this odd-looking device.
Sims, the player from the Black Castle who had followed the two into the hall to investigate, was also observing the core device from afar.
“That’s right. Our team from the Black Castle has investigated. The main device for the spawns’ external spatial transmission is this metal frame. The specific principle is not clear, but the special purple spatial prisms around it can continuously absorb the power in space and release location information to the outside world.”
“Void Stalkers can jump from another world through transitioning.”
Lu Yanlong also added, “Teleportation and sending the coordinates will consume a small portion of the device’s energy. In theory, the purple prisms can absorb energy from space and achieve an infinite cycle of energy supply.”
“However, the designer probably didn’t expect that Mr. Fang would consume the energy of the spatial prisms to send the location information to the outside world in a short period of time.”
Fang Heng also walked forward, wanting to observe the metal frame up close.
Just as he took a few steps closer, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Eh?
A skeleton was left beside the coffin.
Previously, the skeleton had been blocked by the stone coffin and had not been discovered.
Fang Heng could not help but lower his head to examine the skeleton.
The skeleton had been here for a long time and had completely turned into white bones. The clothes on his body had also rotted.
From the looks of the skeleton, it looked like a human.
Of course, it could also be a spawn.
There seemed to be something in the skeleton’s hand.
Fang Hen’s heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to squat down and examine it carefully, several lines of game prompts suddenly appeared on the retina of Fang Heng and the other two people in the hall.
[Hint: The player has completed the side mission-exploring the mausoleum.]
[Hint: Detected that the player has not triggered the main storyline mission. The player can choose one of the reward options below:]
[Hint: As the player team has completed this mission, Fang Heng has the highest contribution to the mission. Fang Heng will choose the reward and the reward distribution.]
Option 1: Obtain the main storyline mission guidance information (This reward can still be obtained through other means).
Option 2: Obtain the main mausoleum key*1 (This reward can still be obtained through other means).
Option 3: Obtain 10,000 King of Gods’ points.
Option 4: Random B+ to A level skill book.
When everyone saw the game notification, their expressions changed.
Sims immediately noticed the key to the main mausoleum among the reward options, and he could not help but feel excited.
The key!
It was actually the key to the main mausoleum!
