Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Fang Heng raised his head and looked towards the sound, only to see Ji Xiaobo and Debbie gathered by a wall on the right side.

"What?"

Fang Heng stopped observing the magic array on the ground, got up, and walked towards everyone.

He saw a special magic array, roughly circular, engraved on the wall.

In the center of the magic array was a circular groove the size of a fist.

Around the outside, there was a circle of twelve smaller grooves embedded.

The grooves were all circular.

The size of a coin.

It looked like...

Merk's Secret Rune!

The moment he saw the grooves, Fang Heng almost immediately thought of Merk's Secret Rune.

Debbie studied the grooves on the wall, lost in thought.

"It's a special alchemy magic array. After inserting the Secret Runes, it can achieve special effects. The patterns on it look a lot like Merk's Secret Runes."

Fang Heng looked at the Yuan brothers, turned his head, and asked, "Do you know about this?"

The two brothers shook their heads repeatedly.

"We haven't had much contact with the Chiberia game world before. All we know are some things about the Holy Court. This underground palace is the first time we've seen it. If you ask me, I'm afraid even Mr. An Budu doesn't know there's such a thing here."

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, reached out and tried to touch the rune gap left on the rock wall, and reached out to embed a Merk's Secret Rune into one of them, matching the纹路.

"Click..."

The Secret Rune was tightly embedded into the slate, making a clicking sound.

It fit perfectly.

It was almost certain that Merk's Secret Runes were used to be embedded here.

But after embedding the Secret Rune, the magic array on the wall still didn't move.

Everyone looked at each other.

No game prompts refreshed either?

Debbie asked, "Could it be that it needs to be activated to take effect?"

"It's possible, but so much time has passed, and the battle back then damaged most of the magic array. It can't be turned on now."

"Everyone, look around more and see if there are any other discoveries nearby."

Everyone immediately dispersed, trying to find useful clues in the underground palace.

"Lord Fang Heng, look at this."

Debbie squatted down, picked up a few pieces of black debris that had been shattered on the ground, and pieced them together to form a circle.

"Huh? Corresponding to the circular mark in the center above?"

"Yeah."

Debbie nodded and said, "It's some kind of energy storage material. I've seen it in books before. The related manufacturing method was lost a long time ago."

Fang Heng looked at the black wreckage on the ground and then looked up at the wall.

So the central hole is for placing energy to trigger it?

And the remaining twelve holes all need to be filled with Merk's Secret Runes?

"Brother Fang! Over here!"

Fang Heng heard Ji Xiaobo calling him, stopped his research, and turned back to walk towards Ji Xiaobo.

Ji Xiaobo found several damaged books on a metal shelf next to him.

Unfortunately, because the time interval was too long, almost all the books turned into a cloud of dust the moment they touched a finger.

Only the last book was preserved intact.

Fang Heng walked to Ji Xiaobo's side and took the book.

[Hint: Player has obtained the item - Merk's Conjecture on the Exit of the Death Realm].

Item: Merk's Conjecture on the Exit of the Death Realm.

Level: -

Type: Book, Task.

Description: Reading it will grant a large amount of skill experience in spatial studies and necromancy.

Description: After reading, you can research and analyze Merk's remaining magic arrays, research books, notes, etc., to obtain additional experience.

Special Note: This item is a special item, and it is bound upon the first reading. After binding, it cannot be traded, and the item will be erased after death (after binding, only the bound player can read and use it).

The moment he picked up the book, task-related game prompts finally reappeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has currently completed the task - Merk's Secret Rune, and the player has triggered the next stage task - Merk's Great Conjecture (Team)].

Task Name: Merk's Great Conjecture.

Task Difficulty: Unknown. (When this task is triggered, the opposing camp will trigger some opposing tasks, please be careful).

Description: The legendary necromancer Merk was also an extremely outstanding researcher. He always had a strong interest in the exit of the death realm, but unfortunately, his research was suppressed by the Holy Court in the final stage, but Merk's secret research laboratory was still well preserved. Perhaps you can try to reawaken Merk's research.

Task Guidance Requirements: Read the book, obtain more information related to the exit of the death realm, try to understand Merk's research, and obtain all of Merk's research.

Task Rewards: Information on Merk's research-related magic arrays, the next stage of the task.

Failure Conditions: 1. If the player team loses - 'Merk's Conjecture on the Exit of the Death Realm'; 2. The underground palace is destroyed. If either condition is met, the task is considered a failure.

Here it comes!

Fang Heng's heart stirred when he saw the prompt.

The opposing camp's task attribute!

No need to look, most of the players who can receive the opposing task are players from the opposing Holy Court!

This means that next, they will inevitably start a competition with the players from the Holy Court.

The other people in the hall also received the game prompt and gathered around.

Fang Heng gestured to the book in his hand, "The task is related to the book, but the book has restrictions and can only be read once."

Yuan Jixian did not hesitate and said directly: "Lord Fang Heng, you go ahead."

The two of them understood clearly. The task was originally discovered by Fang Heng. They were just here to freeload. It would be best if they could get the task by following along. If they couldn't, there would be no loss.

"Yeah."

Fang Heng immediately opened the book and read it.

"Chī..."

The moment the book was opened, an extremely small bone spur pierced out from the side of the book.

The tip of the bone spur pierced Fang Heng's skin, staining a trace of Fang Heng's blood.

In an instant, the originally old book bloomed with a faint dark light.

The game prompt reappeared.

[Hint: Player has bound the book - 'Merk's Conjecture on the Exit of the Death Realm'].

Fang Heng frowned and immediately used the 'Efficient Reading' skill to accelerate reading.

The thin notebook only had twenty pages, and Fang Heng turned to the last page in more than ten minutes.

[Hint: The player has finished reading, and the player has obtained the task skill - Scrutiny (only valid for task targets)].

After reading, the game prompt popped up, and Fang Heng also lowered his head and began to think.

The notes only wrote down Merk's general conjecture and construction of the plan he was executing.

Or rather, this is not a simple conjecture.

Merk already had his ideas and had officially launched them!

The secret hall on the lower level of this underground palace is the secret laboratory that Merk spent a lot of time and energy to set up!
