Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1159 Sneaking in

“Eh? Fang Heng, the one in your hand is…”

Seeing that Fang Heng had successfully controlled the magic array, Sandy was suddenly interested and came over to observe.

“Oh ho? It’s a spirit catalyst crystal cube?”

Fang Heng looked at Sandy, “You also recognize it?”

“Yes, yes. I saw it when I was reading books on the third floor.”

Sandy looked at the crystal in Fang Heng’s hand and nodded, “The book says that the Empire has spent a lot of money on its development, but the one in your hand doesn’t seem to be a second-generation product anymore. It’s probably the latest generation of scientific research products.”

“Do you know why the Empire is developing such a thing?”

Fang Heng thought that they probably didn’t have anything like the sacred tree to feed, right?

“I don’t know about that. I’ve seen this crystal in a biography. That guy researched this crystal in order to get subsidies from the royal family. After he got some results, he earned a lot of money and was recruited by the royal family. Most likely, the royal family wants this crystal.”

“The royal family…”

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Sandy scratched his head and said, “Fang Heng, it’s almost time. Shall we go to the eighth floor and take a look?”

“Okay, sure.”

Fang Heng nodded and shifted his gaze to the outside of the window. The sky outside was gradually turning dark. It was time to make a move.

After leaving the practice hall, Ed had been waiting at the door for a long time. He had a premonition that he was about to receive a big mission, so he went up to Fang Heng enthusiastically and said, “Lord Fang Heng, I found out something.”

“Okay, let’s go back to the room and talk.”

The three of them went to the guest room on the second floor.

Ed organized his thoughts and said, “The interior of the Alchemy Society is divided into two areas, the confidential area, and the non-confidential area. The eighth floor is a non-confidential area, and the guards are relatively weak. It’s not difficult for us to sneak in. The best way is to climb in from the outside.”

“If you want to go up from the inside, you need the special sensing card of the Alchemy Society. We can’t take the elevator, which is guarded 24 hours a day. We can only sneak up the stairs. I’ve found a way to get the sensing card, which can enter the non-confidential areas on the fourth to the twelfth floors.”

“What’s more troublesome is that I’ve heard that the Alchemy Society has set up many secret alchemy magic traps inside the building. Once they are touched, an alarm will be sounded.”

Fang Heng looked at Sandy and said, “The eighth floor we are going to isn’t a crucial area. There shouldn’t be too many alchemy magic arrays and traps.”

“That’s true, but we still need to be careful.”

Ed continued, “By the way, there’s also the alchemy creatures from the Alchemy Society. These alchemy creatures are more difficult to deal with. I heard that they’re divided into many types. When they discover an unknown intruder, they’ll either attack or choose to escape and issue an alarm. In short, they’re very troublesome.”

“How does the alchemy lifeform differentiate between friend and foe? Or through the identity sensing card?”

Ed was not too sure about this, so he said hesitantly, “Well, I don’t know much about this. Maybe…”

Fang Heng nodded and asked, “What about the source of energy for the alchemy body?”

“I know about this, it’s the rechargeable core.” Sandy raised his hand and replied, “I’ve seen it in a book before. It’s a crystallized glass device that contains a light purple liquid.”

“Yes, the Alchemy Society has improved the rechargeable core and relied on the charging magnetic field to charge.”

Ed explained, “There’s a 24-hour rechargeable magnetic field on the fifth basement. As long as you’re in the building, all alchemy lifeforms can be recharged 24 hours a day.”

Fang Heng looked at Sandy and asked, “How long do you need to find the secret key after you reach the eighth floor?”

Sandy was full of confidence and replied, “I need some time to confirm the location. In theory, it will take at most ten minutes.”

“Alright.”

Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he said, “Then let’s go and give it a try.”

Ed peeked outside the door cautiously, then looked at the mission notification.

That’s strange, why hasn’t the mission prompt been triggered yet?

Ed couldn’t help asking, “Lord Fang Heng, what are we looking for?”

“The secret key, you’ll know when the time comes.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Ed put his doubts aside for now. He just felt that the mission might not have reached the conditions to be triggered.

The three of them walked out of the corridor and followed the path all the way to the entrance of the third floor. After making sure that there was no one around, they put on their masks together.

Ed took out a magnetic card and waved it at the door.

“Ding dong…”

The door opened.

Fang Heng walked in the front and released his perception.

The three of them moved forward along the passageway.

Relying on Fang Heng’s keen perception, the group walked and stopped along the way, avoiding the members of the Alchemy Society they encountered along the way.

They arrived at a corner of the fifth floor.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and pulled Sandy back when he was about to turn the corner.

“Huh?”

Fang Heng didn’t say anything. He just used his eyes to signal to an alchemy creature at the end of the corridor behind the corner.

The alchemy lifeform was about two meters tall. It looked like a mechanical device wrapped in a metal shell. The outer layer was painted blue, and its eyes flickered with yellow indicator lights. It looked rather heavy.

It was a typical mixture of alchemy and machinery, very imperial style.

The group stood behind the wall and stuck their heads out to carefully size up the alchemy body.

Ed gestured with his eyes and asked Fang Heng how to deal with it.

...

It was uncertain whether the sensing card would work on the alchemy body. Even if it did, they only had one sensing card.

Fang Heng quickly came up with a corresponding plan. He pointed at the alchemy body in front of him and then pointed to a room on the right not far from the alchemy body.

Ha?

Ed cast a puzzled look at Fang Heng.

What did that mean?

“Creak creak creak…”

The alchemy fusion lifeform seemed to sense something and slowly turned its head. The yellow indicator light in its eyes kept flashing as it strode toward Fang Heng and the others.

Fang Heng hung the sensing card in front of his chest, walked out from the back of the corridor, and went straight to the front.

The head of the alchemy creature turned toward Fang Heng’s position as if it was trying to confirm his identity.

“Di di di…”

The yellow indicator light in the alchemy creature’s eyes turned green.

...

It seemed to have confirmed the magnetic card on Fang Heng’s chest and the alchemy creature stayed in place.

“Do it!”

Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed. After letting out a soft cry, he quickly approached the alchemy creature and threw a punch.

“Bang!”

A deep fist mark was left on the bio-alloy outer armor, and it staggered backward.

[Hint: You have dealt 339 points of actual damage to the alchemy creature (alloy metal reduces physical damage by 50%).]

So ruthless?

Ed did not expect Fang Heng to attack the creature so decisively. He immediately raised his hand and blasted an icicle spell at the alchemy body.

“Bang!”

A layer of frost immediately covered the alchemy lifeform’s armor.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng’s figure suddenly turned illusionary. He once again flashed to the side of the alchemy body, raised his fist, and smashed it again.
