Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Nasto felt annoyed listening to everyone's complaints.

“This matter might not be so simple. The upper-level team will come over to conduct a pre-handover inspection and certification. I'm worried they'll push the problem onto us. If something really goes wrong, the worst-case scenario is that everyone might be subjected to a special federal investigation.”

Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong exchanged glances.

Special investigation?

This was troublesome.

Lu Yanlong felt even more wronged.

Indeed, they were planning to play some tricks on the sarcophagus.

But they hadn't even started yet!

How did they end up becoming scapegoats?

Their luck was really bad.

Nasto felt frustrated.

If these people had problems, he would be unlucky too.

Fang Heng thought for a moment, leaned over, and whispered a few words into Lu Yanlong's ear.

Lu Yanlong's expression immediately stiffened.

“What's wrong?”

Nasto couldn't help but glance at Fang Heng beside Lu Yanlong.

This young man wearing the necromancer's outfit rarely spoke during the entrusted missions.

Nasto had a deep impression of him.

Firstly, it was Fang Heng's unsociable personality, and secondly, Fang Heng's spatial abilities were extremely outstanding, far surpassing other players.

Lu Yanlong said, “I'm afraid we really are going to be scapegoated. My companion discovered earlier that there were some fluctuations within the sarcophagus. I'm afraid that some changes have occurred within the corpses, and it's very likely that the Migoser Corporation's inspection was not a problem.”

“Damn it!”

Nasto didn't doubt Fang Heng's perception, and scratched his head irritably, thinking about how to get rid of this burden.

A player said, “But even if there's a problem with the corpses in the sarcophagus, they can't prove that it was caused by our transportation, right?”

“When something goes wrong, someone has to take the blame.”

“At worst, we'll argue with them and say it's a problem with their inspection results.”

“Just like you said just now, the federal mission entrustment department will open the coffin for inspection together with the Migoser Corporation later. I'm saying if, if we inform the Migoser Corporation in advance that opening the coffin will trigger a special spatial explosion, causing changes in the corpses inside…”

Lu Yanlong pondered and said softly, “The Twelve Consortium companies definitely won't believe it, and will definitely choose to insist on opening the coffin for inspection, right? Then when something happens, and the sarcophagus is completely destroyed, wouldn't this matter have nothing to do with us?”

Nasto was stunned listening to this.

Beside him, the other two spatial players also looked at Lu Yanlong with doubtful eyes.

What did he mean?

At first glance, it seemed like there was no problem.

But…

What problems would opening the coffin cause?

Didn't the Migoser Corporation already try to open the sarcophagus once before?

Everything was safe, and there was no sign of any movement.

Nasto said solemnly, “Explain in detail.”

Lu Yanlong looked around at everyone, lowered his voice, and said softly, “My friend is a high-level necromancer who can tamper with the corpses and find a way to stimulate the corpses to enter a violent, mutated state. When they open the sarcophagus, it will definitely give them a big surprise.”

Nasto was originally thinking about how to argue and how to take the blame, but hearing Lu Yanlong say this, he was immediately tempted.

There was actually such an operation?

Nasto immediately lowered his head and pondered for a moment, thinking carefully.

Indeed, if it was really as Lu Yanlong said, it was indeed a way to shift the blame.

If it really exploded, it would be because the Migoser Corporation's research team was unprofessional, and it had nothing to do with them.

“Are you sure you can handle it? They will come here after dawn, and they are expected to arrive in as little as four hours. We have very little time.”

Lu Yanlong looked back at Fang Heng, and seeing Fang Heng nod slightly at him, he also agreed, “No problem, we can handle it!”

Nasto was still a little hesitant.

Although this trick was clever, the risk was just as great, and what if there were any flaws…

“What does everyone think?”

Nasto sought the opinions of the other players.

“I think we can give it a try.”

The players who had been hired by the federal entrustment didn't want to cause trouble.

The main reason was that the federal's subsequent high-standard inspections were very disgusting.

Which player present dared to say that they were 100% clean?

Even if there was absolutely no problem, being inspected for no reason, wasting so much time, and being put on the federal's inspection list would make things very inconvenient afterward.

Right now, everyone was already on the same boat.

It would be best if they could find a way to fool their way through.

But…

A player asked in a low voice, “If we fail, what will be the consequences?”

“I'm also worried about this,” another player added, “The Migoser Corporation's research team isn't stupid either. What if they see through the problem?”

No one could answer this question.

The cavern was silent for a moment.

If it was as Fang Heng said, it would be fine if they succeeded, but if they failed, wouldn't they be taking on an even bigger burden?

While everyone's attention was focused on the discussion with Lu Yanlong, Fang Heng subtly approached a sarcophagus in the center of the cavern and reached out to touch the lid of the sarcophagus.

His mental perception followed the lid and entered it.

Soon, the semi-mechanical body inside the sarcophagus was stimulated and entered the recovery mode.

The players didn't know about Fang Heng's small actions and were still discussing noisily, “I think we still need to find a more stable plan. This is too dangerous.”

“Do you have a better idea?”

“It's not that I can't think of one.”

“Or else, let's also find an inspection team to argue with them? We can't let them have the final say…”

Seeing that it was almost time, Fang Heng put down his hand, took two steps towards the sarcophagus, looked up at everyone, and interrupted, “Everyone, shh, listen…”

Fang Heng made a gesture to keep quiet.

The players in the cavern immediately shut up and stopped discussing.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Once it became quiet, everyone heard a small cracking sound.

The sound was extremely clear in the quiet cave.

It came from the sarcophagus!

The players immediately turned their attention to a sarcophagus behind Fang Heng.

There really was a change?

Everyone once again shifted their gaze to Nasto.

Nasto stared at the sarcophagus with a tense expression.

What was going on?

Could it be that what the Twelve Consortium's Migoser Corporation said was true? Had there really been a mutation in the corpses inside the sarcophagus?

How did this burden fall on his head?
