Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2552: Trial

At the same time, at the entrance area of Empress Persephone's Mausoleum.

Seeing the layer of deep black shadow gradually enveloping the mausoleum from the outside, a dignified look appeared in the eyes of the necromancy instructors.

Instructor Gu Luo looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "This looks a bit abnormal."

"Yeah."

Visible to the naked eye, a silent dark force was slowly gathering, gradually pressing towards the area of Empress Persephone's Mausoleum.

This dark force seemed different from the previous Dead World Storms, shrouded in an extremely unsettling aura.

...

"Council Speaker."

Just as the high-level members of the Necromancy Council were all staring at Fang Heng's group, an assistant whispered in Georgie's ear, "Council Speaker, the intensity of the storm outside the mausoleum is gathering much faster than expected."

Georgie looked at the mirrored projection locked on Instructor Gu Luo's group on the other side, his brows furrowed.

"This Dead World Storm seems a bit abnormal."

"Dead World Storms are always difficult to predict..."

Georgie raised his hand to interrupt the assistant, nodding and saying, "We will immediately recall Fang Heng and the others after they finish exploring the lower entrance."

"Understood!"

Georgie nodded, shifting his gaze back to the projected image of Fang Heng and the others.

The underground passage on the first floor of Empress Persephone's Mausoleum was intricate and complex. Even with the guidance of the route map, it took Fang Heng and the others nearly an hour to find the entrance to the lower level.

The entrance to the second underground floor was a large stone wall.

The three gathered in front of the stone wall to observe.

The wall was covered with decorative inscriptions and murals. Furthermore, in the murals, a woman standing in front of a throne looked down upon all living beings like a supreme emperor.

The Lord of the Dead World?

Empress Persephone?

The game prompt appeared again.

[The player's current mission - Brave Explorer of the Mausoleum - is complete, triggering the follow-up mission - The Empress's Trial].

Mission Name: The Empress's Trial.

Mission Difficulty: SSS.

Mission Requirement: Empress Persephone left a special trial in her mausoleum. Please try to pass the Empress's trial and enter the deepest part of the mausoleum.

Mission Time Limit: 11 hours and 04 minutes.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Trial? A trial left by Empress Persephone for her subordinates?

And she chose to do it in such a strange place as the mausoleum?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Tan Shuo looked at the game prompt and also noticed the strangeness, his brows furrowed. "Boss Fang, there's definitely something wrong with this mission."

Li Shaoqiang didn't take it to heart, curling his lip dismissively and saying, "We're already here, don't think so much, let's go in and see what's going on. You know, we have the entire Necromancer camp as our backup, what's there to be afraid of!"

As he spoke, the stone slab in Tan Shuo's hand heated up.

Information from the Necromancer camp was transmitted through the stone slab again.

Li Shaoqiang leaned over and asked, "What's the word?"

"It's not good. A rare Dead World Storm has been encountered outside the mausoleum, and the storm is gathering much faster than the Necromancy Council expected." Tan Shuo read the text on the stone slab, his brows furrowed, and he looked up and said, "It is expected to form within a day. It is said that once the storm forms, it may last for days, even months, and there is a probability of years or decades."

"No way? Such bad luck?" Li Shaoqiang scratched his head and said, "Didn't they say it was a rare safe period when we first arrived?"

"I'm not sure. The Necromancy Council didn't explain the specific reason."

As they were talking, the stone slab in Fang Heng's hand also began to heat up slightly.

Fang Heng opened the stone slab information and checked it, looking up and saying, "The Necromancy Council suggests that we immediately evacuate with all the spoils we have already discovered."

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang were silent for a moment upon hearing this, and they all looked at Fang Heng.

"Boss Fang, the mission has a time limit. If we still want to complete the mission, we definitely won't have time to go back to the association again."

"Indeed."

Fang Heng thought for a moment.

The mausoleum mission looked like it was of a high level. Now that they were here, how could they just give up so easily? Moreover, it was only a one-time opportunity. If there were any top-quality rewards, wouldn't they regret it to death in the future?

Thinking this, Fang Heng raised the scepter in his hand high and then gave a gesture of rejection.

The high-level members of the Necromancy Council saw Fang Heng's action in the mirror image and began to whisper to each other.

Through the mirror image, the images of Fang Heng and the others were not very clear, but they could still capture most of their body movements. They could determine that Fang Heng was conveying some information to them.

"What does Fang Heng want to express to us?"

"Is he trying to tell us that he has discovered something about the scepter?"

"Or does he want to continue exploring the scepter?"

"He probably wants to continue exploring the next level."

As they were discussing, they saw Fang Heng taking a few steps towards the depths of the opened passage below.

Georgie whispered to an assistant beside him, "Try to ask them in writing if they are interested in the third level of the mausoleum passage and want to try to enter the third underground level to explore."

Fang Heng and the others clearly saw the text on the stone slab and immediately gave a gesture to confirm.

The Necromancy Council finally understood at this time that Fang Heng and the others wanted to enter the lower level to explore.

Why so aggressive all of a sudden?

What is the reason?

Could it be that these three suddenly discovered something?

Georgie reiterated the risks to Fang Heng and the others, but they still gave a gesture to confirm the exploration.

Acting rashly is too risky.

Moreover, the periphery of the mausoleum is now shrouded in a storm. If they accidentally delay for a while, it will be troublesome if the storm suddenly descends.

"President."

Seeing the opportunity, Instructor Dikey nodded and said, "Fang Heng is my student, and I know him quite well. I believe he would not make such a judgment for no reason. In my opinion, he may have a reason why he must explore the underground area now."

Georgie thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, tell Fang Heng that the Necromantic Storm is gathering extremely fast and changes may occur at any time. Tell them to be careful."

"Yes, understood."
