Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Huh?

That is…

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

In the center of the work area was a metal gate about three meters high.

The surface of the gate was made of an unknown metal, presenting a deep silver-gray color, and the door was densely connected with colorful wires.

The wires were like spider webs, intricately intertwined and connected to large instrument devices on the other side.

Many researchers were gathered in front of the gate, carefully recording something in their notebooks.

Is it a spatial portal!?

This blue ripple is very similar to the channel ripples of the space tearing device in the game!

“Please rest assured about the security, the internal environment of the research institute is completely isolated from the outside, and we will send the relevant research data to the higher authorities once a week after statistics to ensure that there is no leakage in the intermediate links.”

Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the ripples and asked, "Have you encountered any emergencies during the research process? Or have you encountered anything worth noting?"

“Not yet. We have completed the first phase of the Gate of Destiny construction according to the plan. The first batch of tests was successfully completed this morning.”

Fang Heng couldn't help but ask, "Gate of Destiny?"

Hearing the question in Fang Heng's tone, Supervisor Deng suddenly became alert and looked at Fang Heng warily, "Don't you know the Gate of Destiny?"

“The Gate of Destiny is just a name. To be precise, it is another form of game rift, established by simulating the way the alienated people enter the game. The biggest difference from ordinary game rifts is that only humans and the alienated people can enter and exit the Gate of Destiny. All native NPCs in the game and items inside and outside the game cannot pass through.”

Gu Qingzhu said coldly, looking at Supervisor Deng, "Am I right?"

“You are right. The relevant tests of the Gate of Destiny are still in progress. The Gate of Destiny will still experience energy instability under continuous operation, and the fluctuations are very obvious. Next, we will continue to carry out stability modification and then try to increase the capacity of the transmission channel.”

Supervisor Deng dispelled his doubts and continued, "However, these are just minor problems. I heard that there is still a very tricky problem that has not been solved in the current research."

Gu Qingzhu's tone became even colder, "Energy, right?"

Supervisor Deng sighed and nodded, "Yes, I heard that this problem is very difficult to solve. Various research institutes have tried many methods, but there has been no progress, which is very troublesome."

Fang Heng glanced at Gu Qingzhu's face and saw Gu Qingzhu staring at the right side of the research area below, her eyes extremely cold.

Gu Qingzhu was suppressing the anger in her heart.

Fang Heng couldn't help but follow Gu Qingzhu's gaze and saw a row of large culture dishes arranged along the wall next to the research area below.

The life forms contained in the culture dishes…

Are humans?

Huh?

Fang Heng keenly noticed that the blood energy intensity of the humans placed in the culture dishes was extremely high!

Dozens of times higher than ordinary people!

This kind of blood energy intensity is very abnormal.

He had never seen a human whose blood energy could be so strong.

Fang Heng felt curious and pointed to the culture dishes, asking, "What are those containers for?"

“Those are the energy sources we just mentioned. I don’t understand the specifics. I just heard that a special mental energy medium is needed to break through the game space. We cannot simulate this energy medium for the time being, so we can only extract it from the alienated people. If this problem is not solved, the technology will not be able to make a breakthrough, and the number of people who can be transmitted into the game will be reduced by more than half.”

So…

The raw materials located in the containers are actually the alienated people who have fallen into slumber.

The alienated people…

Fang Heng's heart moved, and he glanced at Gu Qingzhu beside him.

No wonder Gu Qingzhu was so angry.

But why is the fluctuation of blood energy on their bodies so strong?

Even Gu Qingzhu's blood energy fluctuation is not as strong as that of the alienated people in the culture dishes.

There must be something wrong with this!

Fang Heng focused his gaze on the alienated people in those containers and continued, "I heard that the alienated people are terrifyingly strong and extremely dangerous existences. Are you sure they are not in danger?"

“Don’t worry, to be precise, they are all ‘dead’. Only the neural network is still running to ensure that their bodies are still alive. From a game academic perspective, their souls have died, so they will not pose any threat to us at all.”

Gu Qingzhu suppressed the rising anger in her heart and said nothing.

“What's on the other side of the passage?”

“I’m not too sure about this…”

Supervisor Deng said, seemingly realizing that something was wrong, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, looking at Fang Heng.

“Sorry, we are only responsible for the security field and don’t know much about this thing.”

Fang Heng’s right hand in his pocket immediately revealed a compound eye of the Hell Faram.

“So… is there any news you are willing to share with us?”

Supervisor Deng's eyes became a little blurred again.

“I only know that it is a fragment of the World Heart provided by the Central Federation. We placed the fragment on the passage, which is that one. We can’t determine the specific location it leads to. Of course, I am also very curious, but please rest assured, we have professional ethics and will never enter to investigate without authorization.”

“Well, of course, I believe in the professionalism of your company.”

Fang Heng nodded and looked in the direction Supervisor Deng pointed.

A blue crystal was embedded on the top of the metal gate.

It was about the size of a palm.

It looked like a crystal shard.

If Supervisor Deng hadn't mentioned it, it would have been easy to overlook.

According to Supervisor Zheng's description, the crystal shard is very likely used to locate the world passage.

“We need to inspect the transmission channel, including the other side of the transmission channel.”

“Inspect?”

“Please cooperate. We have reliable sources that suspicious people have mixed into the research institute. We need to enter the other side of the transmission channel to confirm.” Fang Heng said, and again opened his briefcase, taking out a document from it and handing it over, "This is our authorization document.”

“Okay.”

Supervisor Deng carefully checked the authorization document provided by Fang Heng.

“If you have an authorization letter, you can indeed do it, but why so urgent? Do you want to go in now? The transmission channel is not stable and there is a great danger. Also, entering the channel requires a series of physical fitness tests in the early stage, and the time is a bit tight now, so why not wait…”

“No need, we have already conducted the relevant physical tests once. It's an urgent mission, we need to inspect now.”
