Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3065: Spreading

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The universe was vast.

Besides the Black Fog Game, there were other ways to acquire abilities and advance in various academic disciplines through rituals.

After more than three months of hard training, most academic levels had already risen to the master level. After that, obtaining advancement books directly from the game became extremely difficult.

Fang Heng heard from the elves that in the real world, there were also various inheritance methods for advancing academic disciplines.

The Seven Realms Martial Capital gathered the universe’s top combat strength, and there, one could more easily find paths to further advancement.

Of course, Fang Heng was also eager to know exactly what level his own abilities had reached within the whole universe.

Lastly, because his connection to the spawns’ mainframe system had been temporarily cut off, the fleet’s large amount of mined ore had nowhere to go.

This trip to the Seven Realms Martial Capital was also to find a good buyer for the precious ore.

In short, Fang Heng was already somewhat impatient.

"All right, we’re almost there. We’ll contact you when we have news," Fang Heng said, then ended the communication.

On the elves’ ship, the Elven prince Cole Karot no longer showed his usual arrogance and said to Fang Heng, "Mr. Fang, we are approaching the peripheral system of the Seven Realms Martial Capital. All ships and personnel entering must queue for verification and inspection. It is estimated this will take three hours."

Fang Heng frowned and said, "My identity might be restricted by the spawns, so it won’t be convenient to undergo inspection."

Since witnessing Fang Heng’s strength last time, Cole Karot was deeply impressed. After returning to the elves, he reported to the Elven king and expressed his wish to accompany Fang Heng for some time to gain experience.

Cole Karot understood clearly that if he returned now and stayed safely with the elves, relying on the reputation of the three princes, he would effectively forfeit his right to succeed as an elf heir.

Only by adventuring outside with Fang Heng could there still be a chance.

"Well..."

"No need to worry. I’ll stay in my room. No one will notice me."

"Understood."

Cole Karot thought this over and agreed.

With Fang Heng’s power, if he truly wanted to stay hidden, few would be able to find his trace.

After everyone left the cabin, Fang Heng stood in the center of the room and slowly closed his eyes.

A phantom magic array slowly condensed beneath his feet.

"Huh?"

Fang Heng clearly sensed something unusual.

It was strange.

He hadn’t entered the game world through special abilities for some time, so why was the entry this time so slow? The process seemed to be resisted by some force.

Fortunately, the magic array had not completely failed; only its operating speed had drastically decreased. Thin strands of black mist gradually spread out from the magic array, eventually enveloping Fang Heng entirely in a layer of Black Fog.

The magic array operated for a full ten minutes before Fang Heng finally returned to the game.

...

In the game, Fang Heng opened his eyes again and muttered to himself, "Strange..."

What was that anomaly just now?

Hmm?

Suddenly, Fang Heng noticed a line of dark red warning hints in the game log:

[Warning: The player is attempting to spread the Black Fog... Current Black Fog completion rate ≈ 0%.]

[Hint: The player is attempting Black Fog spread; the player has currently unlocked special exchange.]

Spread Black Fog?

Special exchange?

Fang Heng looked at the game hints, puzzled.

Carefully checking, he found a small exchange column beside his item inventory.

Opening the special exchange column, there were only three items available for exchange:

Large, medium, and small Black Fog crystals.

"I don’t understand."

Fang Heng pondered and shook his head, deciding not to think too much about it.

...

On the elves’ ship, border defense troops soon entered to conduct inspections.

"Report: Residual Black Fog aura detected in Cabin No. 7."

The border patrol captain said, looking toward Cole Karot. "What’s going on?"

Cole Karot was also somewhat stunned.

Residual Black Fog aura?

Cabin No. 7?

That was exactly the cabin Fang Heng had stayed in recently!

Right.

Cole Karot suddenly realized that Fang Heng’s world had been affected by the Black Fog, so his body might have been contaminated by its aura.

Kapa, standing nearby, immediately understood and frantically signaled to Cole Karot.

Cole Karot did not notice Kapa’s signals and coldly said, "The ship was previously on a mission and might have been affected when entering the Black Fog zone."

"Is that so?" The border captain sneered. "No wonder. Looks like you elves were infiltrated by invaders when passing through the Black Fog zone. Your luck is quite good—running into us."

"According to the Seven Realms Martial Capital border regulations, we will temporarily lock down your entire ship. During the lockdown period, we will disinfect the ship thoroughly to ensure the Black Fog does not affect the Seven Realms Martial Capital."

"The associated costs will be charged when the ship departs. After inspection, personnel may enter the Seven Realms Martial Capital."

Hearing this, Cole Karot immediately showed displeasure, "A search and lockdown? What right do you have to do that?"

"D*mn it!"

Kapa slapped his forehead.

Cole Karot was such a fool—didn’t he realize the officer was just angling for a bribe?

...

Five hours later.

Inside the elves’ ship, a magic array appeared out of nowhere.

As it rotated, black mist slowly overflowed from the array.

Fang Heng’s figure appeared within the magic array.

"Click!"

Fang Heng was startled.

His perception had not fully recovered, and he found his hands were already cuffed.

A faint light flickered on the cuffs, revealing intricate alchemy magic patterns.

As the light shimmered, the cuffs formed two rings around his wrists.

A circle of border guards stared at Fang Heng.

The team leader approached and scanned Fang Heng’s head with a scanner, then shook his head in boredom and waved dismissively.

"Boring. I thought it was something serious, but it’s just a pan-human wanted by the spawns. No wonder he’s trying to sneak into the Seven Realms Martial Capital. Fine, take him away and lock him up. Let’s see if we can squeeze something from the elves."

"Yes, sir."

Nearby, a guard quietly asked, "Sir, should we notify the spawns to handle him?"

The leader rolled his eyes and asked, "Do I need to be asked that?"

The guard chuckled, "Understood, sir."

The spawns were troublesome. If caught, they would repeatedly interrogate him and gain nothing.

Naturally, it was better to cause less trouble. They would treat Fang Heng like an ordinary prisoner and toss him among the slaves.

They could also use this as leverage to demand more from the elves.

After all, assisting in illegal entry could be a serious or minor offense.
