Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

"Understood."

The crowd nodded in agreement, becoming more cautious.

Fang Heng also withdrew his gaze from the ritual and followed the others to the magic array that was spiraling in front of them to the right.

The magic array was connected to the ritual in progress.

A very good technique.

But this magic array…

It didn't seem like he had seen anything similar before.

Curious, Fang Heng lowered his hat brim and focused his eyes on the magic array.

"Whoosh!"

The magic array reflected in his right pupil spun rapidly!

[Hint: Player is attempting to identify an unknown magic array…].

[Hint: Analyzing…].

[Hint: Through analysis, the player has obtained partial information about the magic array].

[Magic Array: Energy Injection Input Type (Unknown Properties)].

Description: A special magic array specifically designed for a particular ritual, capable of importing mental energy into the magic array for storage and assisting in activating the ritual (only for a specific ritual).

"A special magic array suitable for ritual energy supply…"

Rarely seen before.

Fang Heng muttered to himself, pondering in his heart.

As for the specific effects of the ritual, he had no way of knowing.

He guessed it was related to the overflowing black mist.

The players didn't care so much and didn't even think about the structure of the magic array.

Under the arrangement of the Mutters, they quickly divided into three groups, gathered in front of the magic array, and began to pour mental energy into the magic array to drive its operation.

Fang Heng also joined the players and tried to walk to the front of the magic array.

He pressed his palm against the edge of the magic array.

"Chizz!"

As soon as he touched the magic array, a weak force immediately connected to his body.

Fang Heng felt his mental energy slowly being drawn from his body through his palm and flowing into the magic array.

At first, it was fine, but as time went on, the attraction from the magic array became stronger and stronger.

It was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing his mental energy.

The rate at which mental energy flowed from his body became faster and faster!

The other players, like him, had also gradually felt the strangeness of the magic array.

After several attempts, the players gained experience, often stopping after continuously inputting mental energy for half a minute, resting for a while, and then performing the next mental energy input, fearing that they would accidentally lose control and be drained by the magic array.

Fang Heng could persist in sending mental energy for longer.

At least five minutes wouldn't be a problem.

But there wasn't much need.

He realized that using this method of extracting mental energy would affect the origin of the Sea of Consciousness.

It wouldn't cause permanent damage, but compared to ordinary mental energy consumption, this extraction would make it difficult for mental energy to recover in a short period of time.

Fang Heng became more curious about the magic array.

He stood in front of the magic array, his right eye, the Eye of All-Knowing, operating rapidly.

The patterns of the magic array rapidly decomposed and reconstructed in his pupil.

While Fang Heng was studying the magic array, the mental energy of the other players had been devoured by the magic array, and they sat aside, drinking potions and resting, seizing the time to recover.

Most of the players in the City of Black Fog were not very strong.

It was already not easy to gather so many players who understood metaphysics.

"Everyone, work harder! The magic array is our biggest trump card! We might even be able to completely drive the Federation out!"

Aketu urged, trying hard to boost the players' morale from the side.

Unfortunately.

The effect was limited.

The players' mental energy was generally low, and coupled with the special characteristics of the magic array absorbing mental energy, even drinking potions had very limited recovery ability.

This isn't good…

Fang Heng observed for a moment and walked to Aketu's side, saying softly, "Aketu, most of the people here have very low mental energy levels, and the efficiency of mental energy injection is very low, which is only a drop in the bucket for the overall magic array."

"I know, but…"

Aketu looked embarrassed and shook his head.

He had no way to solve it either.

He couldn't say anything that would hurt morale.

Aketu sighed.

"We can only do this much for now."

Fang Heng observed the magic array, stroked his chin, and thought, "Relying solely on mental energy can indeed only achieve one step, but have you ever thought that perhaps we can make some modifications to the magic array."

Modifications?

Aketu heard this for the first time and felt quite novel, so he couldn't help but look at Fang Heng and ask, "What modifications?"

"Mental energy is also a type of original power, and many powers can simulate the operation of mental energy.

Of course, the methods of simulation are high and low, and the final effects that can be achieved vary."

Fang Heng looked at the magic array in front of him, thinking and saying, "I'm wondering if we can perform some simulations, simulating energy into mental energy and injecting it into the magic array.

As long as we can find the corresponding method, there is a high probability that we can also trigger the operation of the magic array."

"Huh?"

Aketu was stunned.

He understood each of those words when separated, but when combined, they became something he couldn't understand.

Aketu scratched his head, "Fang Heng, are you very knowledgeable in this area?"

"I know a little.

I've done some research on alchemy, but to achieve this, I still need your cooperation.

Well, I need the ritualists to cooperate with me in some tests."

Aketu hesitated for a moment as he listened.

"But Fang Heng, the Federation might attack at any time, and we don't have much time left."

"I know."

Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the magic array, "If my judgment is correct, the ritual we see now is only one of the branch rituals.

Currently, more than a dozen caves are holding rituals at the same time, so even if we are missing, the impact won't be too great, but if we succeed by chance…"

Fang Heng paused and said seriously, "We might be able to directly reverse the entire battle situation."

Hearing Fang Heng say that he could directly reverse the battle situation, Aketu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother Fang Heng, can we really do this?"

"Yes, it's necessary to try."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Big Brother, wait for me."

Aketu had been saved by Fang Heng once and trusted him very much.

Hearing Fang Heng's words, he immediately rushed back to discuss with Meng Ruhui.

…

Coincidentally, when Aketu returned to the conference hall, the leaders of the various gangs were discussing the next steps.

Hearing Aketu suggest temporarily stopping the mental energy transport to do some messy tests, he was immediately opposed by a group of players.

The leaders of the gangs were not satisfied with Aketu's proposal.

"Don't waste time thinking about these things.

If you have time, you should concentrate on thinking about how to deal with the Federation?

Don't do anything messy."

"Still researching now?

The Federation is already at the door, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
