Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 293: Asking for Help

“If we act rashly, we might arouse their hostility and force them to attack the shelter. At that time, we will be even more passive.”

Tang Chu could not refute.

He knew that Yu Jie was right.

“But are we just going to wait? Maybe we can try to attack and force them to retreat?”

“We can’t afford to gamble. The shelter’s current defense is not strong enough to withstand such a large number of Lickers. Even if we force the Lickers back, we can’t afford to suffer casualties and losses.”

“This will make us lose most of the combat ability against the zombies in the upcoming Blood Moon.”

Tang Chu clenched his fists.

He could not bear to sit and wait for death!

He turned his head to look at Zhang Zhe.

“Sir, is this group of Lickers related to the Night Owl organization?”

“I’m not sure.”

Zhang Zhe maintained his calm on the surface, but he was actually very uneasy inside.

In his opinion, this group of Lickers that had suddenly appeared was too strange. It was indeed very likely to be related to Night Owl.

But...

Did Night Owl have the ability to control the Lickers?

“Sir, could it be someone from the prison? I’ve come into contact with some intelligence before. The player in the prison can control Lickers in battle.”

Yu Jie had also heard of Fang Heng’s prison shelter. He raised his head and asked, “Are you talking about Fang Heng?”

“No, it can’t be him.”

Zhang Zhe firmly rejected it.

“I just met Fang Heng not long ago. I even worked with him for a short period of time during the mission.”

“He can indeed control a small number of Lickers, but there are definitely not that many.”

“Moreover, the prison is very far away from us, and the energy consumption of the space tearing passage is very high. It is impossible for the prison to transfer such a large number of Lickers.”

“Most importantly, the prison has no motive to attack our shelter.”

In the command room, everyone fell silent again.

Zhang Zhe asked, “Are our people still monitoring Night Owl? Do they have any new special reports?”

“We keep in contact with the monitoring team every 15 minutes offline. We just confirmed it three minutes ago.”

“So far, we have not found anyone leaving or entering the iron mine. We believe that the Night Owl organization is still excavating inside the cave.”

“We’ve conducted an analysis of the iron mine in advance. Based on the number of players entering the iron mine, it will take at least two days to dig through and enter the laboratory.”

Zhang Zhe looked at the time.

It had already been almost a day.

There was only one day left.

Theoretically speaking, it was almost impossible for Night Owl to be related to the group of Lickers outside.

However, the timing of their appearance was too coincidental.

Zhang Zhe felt apprehensive and insecure inside.

“Let’s organize a small team. I want to go over there and see for myself.”

“Now? This is too dangerous. What if those Lickers attack us?”

Zhang Zhe’s eyes narrowed.

“Colonel Tang Chu, this is an order. Night Owl is more dangerous than the group of Lickers outside.”

Tang Chu’s expression turned solemn.

“Yes, Sir!”

Yu Jie nodded and said, “I will stay here and provide backup. I wish you good luck.”

...

Ten minutes later, Zhang Zhe and Tang Chu finished their preparations and left the right side of the shelter with a team of twelve Federation elites.

The team maintained a high level of vigilance and gradually moved away from the Lickers from the side of the shelter.

Every member slowed down their footsteps and held their breath, trying not to attract the attention of the Lickers.

Tang Chu’s heart was in his throat.

He prayed in his heart that he would not be discovered by the Lickers.

In the distance, behind a broken bunker, Lucia revealed herself.

A layer of blood-red light appeared in her pupils.

After the modification from the biological weapon project, Lucia’s super strong vision allowed her to immediately capture the movements of the party of players.

Following Fang Heng’s instructions, Lucia stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhang Zhe’s team.

“Go!”

“Chi Chi Chi...”

The Lickers waiting outside the shelter received the order and immediately rushed toward Zhang Zhe’s team.

“D*mn it! They’re coming!”

“Retreat! Retreat quickly! !”

The soft sounds of “chi” were like a life-threatening charm!

Tang Chu quivered, shouted and took the lead to turn around and run.

It was too terrifying!

Hundreds of Lickers gathered together and madly rushed toward them.

The extreme pressure made Tang Chu unable to breathe and he couldn’t even think of resisting.

The entire team only had one thought in their minds.

Run!

The entire team practically rolled and crawled back to the shelter.

“Da Da... Da Da Da...”

Outside the shelter, the 10 automatic cannons that the Federation spent a large sum of money to buy opened fire at the same time!

Unfortunately, the output of the automatic cannons was still too weak!

Chi Chi Chi..

When the Lickers saw that the players had already retreated back into the shelter, they quickly retreated the same way.

They retreated again, maintaining a safe distance from the shelter.

...

Inside the shelter’s command room.

The operators let out a long sigh of relief when they saw the group of Lickers outside retreating through the surveillance screen.

Their foreheads were covered in a layer of cold sweat.

It was too scary.

Tang Chu’s back was drenched in sweat when he escaped back to the shelter’s command room.

He felt like he had just escaped from the gates of hell!

“F*ck!”

Tang Chu cursed in his heart.

Fortunately, they had only walked a dozen meters. If they had gone any further, they would have died outside.

Yu Jie had the operator replay the Licker’s attack on the main screen.

“The Lickers are afraid of the shelter. They are retreating very quickly.”

A researcher wearing glasses raised his glasses and said, “Sir, we have compared the images. The defensive ability of these Lickers is stronger than that of normal Lickers.”

“The hit rate of the automatic cannons previously was over 56% , but our attacks had almost no effect. We did not kill any Lickers.”

The entire hall fell into silence.

After a short exchange, the player discovered a cruel truth.

The damage of the automatic cannons on the Licker was negligible.

If they tried to fight it head-on, they would most likely lose.

Tang Chu gritted his teeth. “If the Lickers don’t leave, are we trapped here and can’t get out?”

No one responded to Tang Chu.

Being trapped here was good, but if the Lickers went crazy and attacked the shelter..

The shelter that they had spent a lot of effort on could be destroyed!

In the silence, the chief researcher adjusted his glasses and said, “Leader, I have a suggestion.”

“Go ahead.”

“Fang Heng from the prison shelter is working with the Dark Knights. They have found a way to control the Licker and control it to fight.”

“I think they know more about the Licker than we do. Maybe they have a way to solve our predicament.”

“I suggest we ask Fang Heng for help.”

Hearing this, hope was rekindled in everyone’s hearts.

Yu Jie turned to look at Zhang Zhe.

“I heard that you seem to be very familiar with Fang Heng?”

Hearing Fang Heng’s name again, Zhang Zhe frowned.

“Not really. We participated in a mission together.”

“Able to talk?”

Zhang Zhe was very unwilling to look for Fang Heng, but if he did not handle Night Owl’s problem well, he would also be in trouble.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhe said, “I’ll go and try.”
