Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Novel - Chapter 1914
1914 Sneaking In
After a brief rest, players left one by one to venture outside and score some points.
Jasmin and the others cautiously stuck close to Fang Heng, observing as he stood quietly at the side without making any moves.
A few minutes later, only a dozen players remained in the temporary resting area within the castle.
Jasmin and the others glanced at Fang Heng from time to time.
Lord World Lord Fang Heng didn’t make any movements, he was still sitting there.
Was he probably waiting for an opportunity?
Good heavens, was this the legendary camouflaged hidden in plain sight? The people from the Holy Court probably never imagined that the Fang Heng they were searching for was inside the military fortress.
But what came next?
Did World Lord Fang Heng have any other grand plans?
Jasmin and the others felt uneasy. As they contemplated, Fang Heng suddenly raised his head and gestured to them with his eyes.
“Hmm?”
What did he mean?
What was the significance of that look?
They had never communicated about this before!
Before Jasmin could decipher Fang Heng’s suggested message with his eyes, several rotating magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng.
The zombie creatures crawled out of the magic arrays.
What?
Jasmin’s pupils contracted.
An assault?
An internal assault?
“Undead! Undead! How did undead get in here?”
Then, Jasmin witnessed Fang Heng’s exaggerated expression and heard him scream.
Uh… What was this?
Jasmin was momentarily stunned, and then his two teammates immediately reacted, shouting, “Undead! When did they breach this place?”
“Quick, come and support! Undead have entered the fortress!”
Jasmin was still processing the situation.
Before he could react, the other resting players were already in shock.
What on earth!
Since when had undead invaded the fortress interior?
The participants were thrown into chaos.
“Undead!”
“Hurry up and provide support!”
These were not ordinary undead zombies.
They were mutated zombie creatures!
Thinking about the flesh cocoons that would form on the bodies of mutated zombies, players’ expressions turned serious, and fear crept over them.
Taking advantage of the momentary chaos, Fang Heng swiftly moved to an unnoticed dark corner, where he formed a mark with both hands in front of him.
“Whoosh, whoosh…”
Four magic arrays began to rapidly circle the space before them.
A cold aura overflowed from the magic arrays.
Undead Summoning, the undead bones leader!
“What? Why are they shouting? What is happening?”
Hearing the shouts in the resting area, the castle guards from the Jones Kingdom immediately led a team to investigate.
Coincidentally, four undead bones-wielding blades emerged from the rapidly rotating magic array, charging towards the Jones Kingdom guards who had responded to the shouts and come to investigate and provide support!
“Undead! Sound the alarm, the undead are invading!”
The guards of Jones Kingdom were bewildered at the sight.
What was happening?
The exterior defense line was intact, and there were no signs of zombie creatures breaking through the fortress. So, why did the undead creature abruptly manifest inside the fortress?
And these weren’t the same as the undead creatures outside?
These were high-tier undead bones leaders!
Without anticipating for them to comprehend, a frigid aura of ice soul attacked them head-on.
Whoosh!
The undead bones leader swung the ice soul-slaying blade forward, sending a guard flying and colliding with the wall, rendering him unconscious.
The newly resurrected zombies promptly identified their target and moved in to finish off the incapacitated guard.
“Chi, chi, chi…” A familiar sound echoed.
The surrounding players realized something and carefully retreated a few steps, watching the corpse left by the fallen guard.
The corpse rapidly decayed, and horrifying flesh cocoons sprouted from the remains one after another.
“Be careful! Don’t go near them!”
Zombie creatures began to spread throughout the castle!
Fang Heng nodded at Jasmin and the others.
Jasmin and the others caught Fang Heng’s gaze and exchanged glances.
What did Fang Heng, the World Lord, mean with that gaze?
What was he up to?
How should they coordinate?
Fang Heng’s gaze was merely a signal for them to stay put and not cause any disruptions. He promptly took control of the four undead bones leaders, leading them to break through the fortress guards and charge towards the stairs on the right side of the military fortress.
After a moment of consideration, Fang Heng directed the bones leaders to divide. One group continued their ascent up the stairs, while the other headed towards the teleportation passage of the Holy Court.
This military fortress was located in the center of the triangular fortresses and was also the most heavily guarded one.
The imperial uncle was in this military fortress!
Fang Heng had already planned it out.
Time was of the essence, so he decided to find a way to directly capture the strongest fortress!
Since he had learned from Jasmin and the others that the mastermind behind the collaboration with the Federation was the imperial uncle of Jones Kingdom, why not just directly seize the imperial uncle?
Capture the leader first!
On top of the city wall, the imperial uncle, along with numerous ministers of Jones Kingdom, noticed the significant disturbance below the city wall.
The imperial uncle was somewhat flustered and loudly questioned the Bishop Kotter of the Holy Court at the side, “Kotter! What’s going on down there?”
A guard hastily ran up from below to report. “Reporting to the imperial uncle! There’s a disturbance in the lower area of the military fortress. Undead creatures have been detected, and the black armored guards have already gone to intercept.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, the ministers of Jones Kingdom were immediately alarmed.
The imperial uncle’s face also turned pale.
Bishop Kotter of the Holy Court felt uneasy.
What extraordinary means did these undead creatures possess? How could they discreetly infiltrate the interior of the military fortress?
Bishop Kotter was particularly concerned about the teleportation passage of the Holy Court located within the fortress. He spoke solemnly, “Imperial Uncle, the undead are likely targeting the teleportation passage within the fortress. Please rest assured, that the Holy Court still has guards stationed at the teleportation passage. Dealing with the invaders inside the fortress shouldn’t be a problem. I will personally go with my men to check.”
“What are you anticipating for?” The imperial uncle, feeling agitated, waved his hand and urged, “Why haven’t you gone yet?”
“Understood!”
Bishop Kotter signaled with his hand, and promptly led the guards of the Holy Court to descend and provide reinforcement.
Just as they descended the stairs and turned the corner, Kotter immediately sensed a formidable undead aura emanating from the passage below.
“Be cautious!”
Kotter gave a warning as he led his men around the corner. Upon seeing the two undead bones leaders engaged in battle with the Jones Kingdom, their expressions changed slightly.
It was the undead bones leaders!
“Charge!”
Without much thought, Kotter personally led the guards of the Holy Court into battle. Unbeknownst to him, in the secondary space projection beside him, Fang Heng was swiftly moving past!
Fang Heng was relieved to see that he had successfully drawn Kotter and the others out.
The imperial uncle stood atop the city wall. Usually, apart from the heavily guarded black armored guards, there were also Holy Court personnel accompanying him for protection.
As Fang Heng expected, upon receiving news of the invasion below, the Holy Court personnel would be more concerned about the condition of the teleportation passage and would certainly come to investigate.
This was his best opportunity to eliminate the imperial uncle.
