Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game - Chapter 2816

Chapter 2816: Resources

Zaka took the metal plate in his hand and tested it, immediately showing a look of delight, “Brothers, this thing seems pretty good.”

As he spoke, the ship’s metallic barrier in front opened.

It was then that Fang Heng realized that the ship they were on was currently hovering more than eighty meters above the ground.

Looking out toward the ship’s exterior, he could see a fierce battle raging in the distance.

On the mountainside, there was a dense swarm of gray creatures.

The creatures were fighting against a battalion of high-tier mechanical modifications.

“D*mn, so many?”

Zaka froze as he saw the vast expanse of red mutated worm creatures spreading across the mountainside.

The scene was extremely brutal.

Both the mechanical bodies and mutated worms had no concept of injury; there was only death, fighting until the last breath.

The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, rapidly grinding down both sides’ lives.

There were just too many.

In comparison, while the mechanical modification bodies were individually very strong, their numbers were clearly at a disadvantage. Endless waves of red mutated worm creatures emerged from the horizon, with no end in sight.

Soon, the number of mechanical bodies couldn’t keep up, and the battlefront began to rapidly shift toward the ship.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

Hearing the sounds, Fang Heng turned his head to look beside the ship.

Light spots appeared on the deck.

Transition prisms!

That’s right!

It was undoubtedly the spawns!

A wave of newly emerged, large mechanical warriors from the transition prisms materialized on the ship’s platform.

“Ka, ka, ka…”

The large mechanical warriors’ shoulder structures shifted, revealing two energy cannons. Slowly, the cannon barrels were adjusted and aimed toward the direction where the mutant worm swarm was gathering in the distance.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

Intense fire erupted from the barrels of the large mechanical bodies, unleashing a blanket of fire toward the distant swarm of mutant worms.

After one round of fire, the mutant worm bodies suffered heavy casualties from the barrage.

However, more mutant worms quickly emerged from the rear, continuing their relentless advance.

So many?

Fang Heng squinted and observed the mutant worm bodies closely.

They resembled large ant-like creatures, each about half a meter long. Their nervous systems were concentrated within a thorax protected by a hard exoskeleton. The head was covered by a special fungal layer, and their eight segmented limbs had mutated into jagged, bone-like structures.

The number of mutant worms was enormous, and they moved at incredible speeds.

“You guys have probably seen enough. It’s time to enter the real battlefield.”

Fang Heng turned toward the voice behind him. A series of blue teleportation pillars appeared next to the captain.

At the same time, an artificially synthesized voice echoed through the ship.

“Mercenaries, the transition passage is now ready. Players who wish to participate in the next round of the commission battle should immediately enter the pillar of light and prepare for combat.”

“We move!”

Fang Heng grabbed a crystal hoverboard and equipped it, nodding at his three companions. He quickly stepped into the nearest blue teleportation pillars surrounding them.

[Hint: The player has entered the transition passage. Please maintain a stable position and do not move.]

[Hint: Transition in progress. Countdown: 3, 2, 1…]

Whoosh!!!

Fang Heng’s eyes were blinded by a flash of blue light.

The next moment, Fang Heng found himself teleported to the bottom of the ship.

Not far away, a player team hurriedly approached.

They looked like they had just been through a fierce battle, their clothes were dusty as they quickly ran toward him. They glanced at Fang Heng and his companions but didn’t speak a word. They swiftly stepped into the blue pillar of light, transitioning back into the interior of the ship.

Fang Heng looked up toward the top.

At this moment, he realized that the ship’s command post was even larger than he had anticipated.

It also seemed that many players had gathered on the upper part of the ship. They were stationed at the ship’s attack points, using the ship as cover to unleash powerful firepower at the distant mutant worm enemies.

“Tch, even though players are guarding the ship, hiding inside is way safer than going outside to do the dirty work,” Zaka complained, turning to his teammates, “What do you guys think?”

Su Guantong looked down at the mapping device provided by the Spawns, adjusted her glasses, and began analyzing, “We just saw that a large number of mutant worms were gathering to the west. The majority of the ship’s attacks are also coming from that direction. Therefore, the western region is extremely dangerous and unsuitable for exploration. Most players are currently exploring the eastern region.”

“Players have already discovered several special spirit crystal ore and energy ore points. The specific coordinates have been marked on the mapping device.”

“Marked them? That’s great!” Zaka said, happy to hear this. “We can head over there to mine and complete the material transportation mission. Low risk, high reward. What are we waiting for?”

Zate, who had been quiet until now, looked down at the mapping device, shook his head, and said, “The problem is, we joined the game too late. If the ore points have already been discovered, they’ve probably been claimed by other teams. If we go there now, we might run into conflict with them.”

Fang Heng also thought the same.

If it were him, after finally finding an ore point, he definitely wouldn’t want anyone coming to take a share.

Conflict between the two sides was very likely.

“Right now, I think we have three choices. First, we could risk a conflict with other mercenaries and go for the resource points. Worst case, we just fight for it, and we rely on our strength to claim the resources.”

At this point, Zate glanced at Fang Heng intentionally, then paused for a moment before continuing, “Secondly, you can choose to explore other regions (domains) and use your own abilities to find resource points.”

“As for the third option, we could give up on resource hunting and try to find and kill scattered high-level mutant worm creatures. That would also earn us contribution points.”

Time was running short. Zaka frowned and quickly analyzed, “We’re newcomers, and most of the other teams have probably already made some sort of agreement to stick together. If we try to grab the resource points now, it won’t be easy. We might end up fighting several teams at the same time.”

“Fighting the mutant worms directly is too dangerous. Let’s take a middle path and go with the second option.”

The others looked at each other and then turned their gazes to Fang Heng.

“I have no problem with that.”

Su Guantong lowered her head to check the observation device in her hand and frowned, “The mapping device shows that, aside from the western area, which is the main activity zone for the mutant worms, the other three directions–east and north–have been explored extensively. The south is less explored, so the probability of finding new resource points is higher there.”

“Let’s go south and have a look.”

Fang Heng nodded lightly, took out his energy crystal hoverboard, and stood on it.

“Whoosh!”

The hoverboard had an automatic balancing system, and once stabilized, it levitated into the air.

“Interesting.”

Fang Heng quickly figured out how to use the hoverboard and flew off in the direction of the south.

The others exchanged glances and immediately followed, hopping onto their hoverboards to catch up.
