Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2114: Introduction

Everyone snapped back to reality, staring intently at Claire.

Previously, they had been somewhat skeptical of Glennan's words, feeling that Glennan was too young and easily deceived by outsiders with sweet talk.

They never imagined that what they were seeing now would far exceed their expectations!

The power of nature could truly be materialized!

"Ahem."

Sandy cleared his throat and looked at the crowd, saying, "So? Do you all still have any doubts? Please believe that as followers of nature, we always abide by the laws of nature. In our view, 'deception' as a form of questioning is an insult to us."

The crowd parted to make way for an elderly elder who emerged from a small door at the rear, bowing slightly to Fang Heng and the others in apology.

"I am Yul, the chairman of the Town Tree Speaker Alliance. Please forgive our previous rudeness. We have endured too much during this time. Please, sit down, and we can talk slowly."

Everyone sat around the desk.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy, and no one spoke for a moment.

Sandy broke the silence, "As we said before, we came following the guidance of nature. We want to know about the World Tree, the more the better. We heard there is some relevant information here, so we followed."

Yul pondered for a moment before saying, "Since its establishment, the Tree Speaker Alliance has been committed to protecting nature and continuing its legacy."

"As for the mysteries of the World Tree... to be honest, we know very little ourselves. I'm afraid there is very little information you can find here."

Fang Heng frowned as he listened.

"However..."

Yul changed his tone and continued, "Actually, our Tree Speaker Alliance has some connection with the Tree Spirit Clan."

"What!?"

Hearing this, Glennan couldn't help but jump up from his chair, his eyes shining as he stared straight at Mr. Yul.

Many others also cast surprised glances at Yul.

The Tree Speaker Alliance actually had contact with the Tree Spirit Clan?

Most of them were hearing this news for the first time.

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Is it possible to introduce us to the Tree Spirit Clan?"

Yul shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient. Moreover, the Tree Spirit Clan has always contacted us, and we have never had their contact information."

Fang Heng wanted to say something more to try to persuade him, but the game prompt suddenly refreshed.

[Hint: The player's current quest tree: Tree Speaker Alliance - Secrets of the Ancient Divine Tree is complete, triggering the next stage quest: Finding the Tree Spirit Clan].

Quest Name: Finding the Tree Spirit Clan.

Quest Difficulty: S.

Quest Description: During your contact with the Tree Speaker Alliance, you learned information about the Tree Spirit Clan. Please try to contact the Tree Spirit Clan.

That was understandable.

So, the next questline would likely involve completing some quests within the Tree Speaker Alliance and finding a way to increase their favorability.

Once the favorability was high enough, the quest to find the Tree Spirit Clan would naturally be completed.

Sandy, as an NPC, did not receive a quest reminder. He still persisted in asking, "Then, how often would the Tree Spirit Clan usually take the initiative to send a message?"

Yul pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed slightly, "It's really hard to say. Sometimes we can feel their message within a short week, but sometimes there may be no movement for as long as several years."

Fang Heng looked at everyone and interrupted Sandy's questioning, "Mr. Yul, if possible, we would like to stay here for a while and borrow some of the books here."

Sandy saw the look Fang Heng gave him and immediately nodded, "That's right, we received a divine oracle from the God of Nature, foretelling that this world may face an unprecedented disaster. If you need anything, please be sure to let us know."

Upon hearing this, Yul's face showed a solemn expression, "Alright, it just so happens that there are many vacant rooms in the community activity center. If you don't mind, you can stay here."

"There's no need for that. There's a hotel next door. We'll book a few rooms there. It's too late today, we'll come and disturb you again tomorrow."

Fang Heng said, getting up to say goodbye.

After everyone left the community activity center, Mo Jiawei and the others all turned their attention to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng spread his hands, "Let's stay here for a while for the time being. The next stage of the quest is likely related to the Tree Speaker Alliance. In addition to the quest prompts, we should also look for clues from other aspects and first understand this world."

"Okay."

......

The next day, in the evening.

Sandy almost occupied the entire reading room of the community activity center alone.

All the books related to the Tree Spirit Clan in the community activity center were moved over by him to borrow.

He roughly flipped through all the relevant information.

"Fang Heng, this world is probably much more dangerous than it appears on the surface. What they said before, the claim that the Tree Spirit Clan once occupied the entire world, is very likely to be true."

Fang Heng asked, "Any quest-related discoveries?"

"Yes, judging from the relic pictures excavated from various parts of the world, the Tree Spirit Clan really existed and possessed unknown abilities. However, starting hundreds of years ago, the Federation has been consciously covering up the traces of the Tree Spirit Clan's existence... Also, I flipped through some old newspapers from the past, and judging from some subtle clues, there should have been a conflict between the Federation and the Tree Spirit Clan."

"If you ask me, the Federation must have more information and messages."

Just as he was speaking, Claire, accompanied by Gu Qingzhu, pushed the door open and returned to the room.

"How is it?"

Gu Qingzhu gently shook her head.

Claire said softly, "We just went outside to check. The natural power of this world is affected by some kind of special power, and the use of natural abilities is greatly weakened. This power is shrouded in the sky, and we have not yet been able to make more judgments."

Fang Heng stroked his chin.

They hadn't discovered any valuable clues.

It seemed that the breakthrough still had to be found from the Tree Speaker Alliance.

Unconsciously, everyone turned their attention to Mo Jiawei.

Mo Jiawei was looking down and playing with his phone.

This world also had short video platforms.

It couldn't be considered slacking off.

After all, through short videos, they could also collect more information about this world.
