Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

If Merck's conjecture can be realized, it means they can artificially control the landing point of the dead world's exit, transforming various worlds into gathering points for the undead camp…

This would be a tremendous enhancement for the entire undead camp!

No wonder the Holy Court immediately took action after receiving this news, resolutely engaging with the undead camp even when facing the dilemma of fighting on multiple fronts.

"Brother Fang…"

Ji Xiaobo watched Fang Heng finish reading the book, then fall into a solemn silence. He approached and asked softly, "Did you find anything?"

"Yeah."

Fang Heng snapped out of his thoughts, stuffed the book back into his backpack, nodded, and walked towards the center of the hall, saying as he walked, "According to the book's records, the magic arrays here were all set up by Merck. The center of the hall was originally the exit to the world."

As he spoke, Fang Heng arrived at the pit he had just discovered in the center of the hall.

The pit was also the point where the aura of the undead was most concentrated.

"I think this is where the original exit to the dead world was located. Merck once briefly controlled the release of the dead world's exit. As for why the exit is completely gone now, according to the rumors outside, it should have been completely destroyed by the Holy Court's twelve sages using the Holy Greatsword."

"As for the magic arrays left on the walls and the recessed slots for storing Merck's secret runes…"

Fang Heng paused, then looked up at the circular recessed slot on the wall directly in front of him.

"Those are external magic arrays left by Mr. Merck. According to some descriptions in the notebook, they serve two purposes: one is to help share the pressure released by spatial fluctuations when the main magic array is activated, and the other is for positioning. The stone material is special, possessing the characteristic of absorbing spatial power. Merck spent a lot of time collecting it. The large recessed slot in the middle is used for energy infusion."

Everyone listened to Fang Heng's explanation, understanding the general idea, and nodded in agreement.

Ji Xiaobo scratched his head and asked, "Brother Fang, so now we have to find all the remaining Merck's secret runes?"

Fang Heng frowned.

"Not sure. The current mission stage doesn't require finding all of Merck's secret runes. It might be related to subsequent missions. We can try to find them. It would be best if we can find them, but don't force it if we can't."

"What I'm more worried about now is the mission description. The mission description says that opposing factions will join, meaning the difficulty will increase significantly." Fang Heng pondered, continuing, "The Holy Court might learn about the situation here through some special means, thereby taking action to hinder us from completing the mission."

Everyone felt that Fang Heng's guess was very accurate.

Similar missions had happened before, and they were usually designed this way.

"That's terrible."

Yuan Jixian couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in his mouth upon hearing this, "The Holy Court places great importance on Merck's research. They even went so far as to wage a full-scale war with the undead in the beginning. If they knew that Merck's research hadn't been completely destroyed, wouldn't they go crazy? They would definitely rush to our door."

Yuan Ji also nodded in agreement, "Once the Holy Court goes crazy, it's possible that they'll focus all their efforts on dealing with Chiborea. The front line will definitely be under greater pressure."

"The situation on the front line is already terrible. The undead camp hasn't joined the main battlefield. Lord Danny is only barely holding on with the undead camp players. If the Holy Court sends reinforcements, we'll be even less likely to win…"

Everyone discussed amongst themselves.

Ji Xiaobo followed this line of thought and thought about it.

So…

After all this running around, the unluckiest person has become Lord Danny again?

"Why don't I report the situation here to my teacher first, to see what the undead camp thinks. If the Holy Court sends a large army, the undead camp will also be under pressure, and the magic arrays left by Merck are very important. Let my teacher come forward to persuade the undead camp…"

So that's how it is.

Fang Heng stared at the magic array on the ground, and at the same time, a rapidly swirling alchemy magic array phantom appeared in his right pupil.

Everyone focused their attention on Fang Heng, noticing that he had made another discovery, and stopped discussing, quietly standing aside and waiting.

A full three minutes passed.

The loading bar that appeared above Fang Heng's head ended, and the magic array in his right pupil gradually faded away.

A game notification appeared.

[Hint: Player has analyzed Merck's remaining magic array through the skill - Scrutiny, gaining an analysis progress of 02 (Player's special skill Omniscient Eye assisted, additional +02)].

[Hint: Player's current analysis progress of Merck's remaining magic array: 04%].

[Hint: After the analysis is completed, the player will gain the ability to repair Merck's remaining magic array].

Fang Heng looked at the game notification and understood.

So that's how the skill is used.

He needs to constantly learn and research through use.

Probably after the magic array analysis reaches 100%, he will understand the large magic array left by Merck, and the subsequent mission will be triggered.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Fang Heng.

"Yeah."

Fang Heng saw everyone's gazes, nodded, and roughly explained the newly discovered skill.

"Looks like… this mission is consuming our time?"

Yuan Jixian frowned, immediately adopting the player's mindset to start solving the problem, "According to the calculation of gaining 02% completion for every three minutes, if only one person completes the mission, it would take more than 10 days of non-stop work to unlock everything."

"Indeed, it seems this is buying time for the Holy Court. It might be the game's way of balancing both sides."

"Yeah…" Fang Heng nodded in agreement, listening to the analysis of the others, "The degree of understanding of the magic array's structure might also be a reward given by the mission. How much reward we get depends on our own efforts."

Ji Xiaobo listened, feeling a little unhappy, and complained, "The Holy Court will definitely arrive within 10 days, and we can't possibly work non-stop. Is the system biased towards them?"

Fang Heng curled his lips.

It's not biased, it's just balancing the difficulty, not letting him get the reward so easily.

As they were analyzing, they suddenly noticed that the few Lickers who had entered the underground palace hall with them quickly curled up on the ground, condensing into cocoons of flesh.

"Chirp, chirp chirp…"

A moment later, ordinary zombie clones crawled out of the flesh cocoons.

Fang Heng immediately issued instructions to the zombie clones to use the skill.

The zombies then staggered to the side of the damaged magic array and began to use the Scrutiny skill on the magic array.

Then, game loading bars appeared above the heads of the zombie clones.

[Hint: Your zombie clone is using the skill - Scrutiny to analyze Merck's remaining magic array. Since this life form does not possess high-level intelligence, the skill requires an additional 2x extension of the guiding time].
