Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2546  Escort

Twelve necromancy instructors led the way, escorting Fang Heng and his companions toward the mausoleum of Empress Persephone.

As they entered the sandy domain, the rotting ground began to undulate, and numerous skeletal creatures erupted from the earth.

However, this time, Fang Heng had transformed from a guardian into an invader.

For the instructors, the mere undead skeletons posed no obstacle to their progress. They effortlessly employed necromantic spells to dispatch the bones that surged around them.

Fang Heng followed the instructors, walking a bit behind when he suddenly sensed something and glanced around.

"Wait!"

He raised his hand to stop Li Shaoqiang and the others, who were about to assist the instructors.

"What is it, Mr. Fang? Did you notice something?"

Li Shaoqiang and the others showed a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"Don't engage just yet; something feels off."

They immediately halted, carefully observing the surrounding skeletal creatures.

Thanks to Fang Heng's reminder, they quickly realized the issue.

It was a bit strange.

The skeletal guards bore no hostility toward them.

In fact, the skeletal guards were clearly focused on the necromancy instructors.

Fang Heng even suspected that if the necromancy instructors hadn't come along, these skeletal creatures might not have even risen at all.

Tan Shuo speculated, "We all carry the imprint of Empress Persephone in our sea of consciousness. The imprint is likely causing the undead skeleton guards to see us as allies."

Fang Heng thought for a moment and quietly said, "Let's not engage. Attacking the bones might have the opposite effect, and we don't want to cause any trouble for the ice crystal."

"Leave this to us; you all stay back."

Hearing their conversation, Teacher Gu Luo nodded and, along with the other instructors, pushed through the attacks of the skeletal creatures as they advanced toward the mausoleum of Empress Persephone.

The three of them followed behind the team, slowly making their way toward the mausoleum.

Meanwhile, in the council hall of the undead faction, the undead assembly monitored Fang Heng and his companions' every move through more than a dozen mirrors, capturing their actions from every angle without any blind spots.

"Looks like it's related to the imprint of Empress Persephone."

A senior council member observed their actions and nodded, "If they can withstand the attacks of the mausoleum guards, perhaps this time we can explore the deepest parts of the mausoleum."

The others watched the mirrors, feeling a mix of tension and anticipation.

"I have a question."

A necromancer instructor asked, "Since the mausoleum guards are triggered by intruders, will they stop triggering if only Fang Heng and his companions enter the mausoleum?"

"If that's the case, our exploration risks would be significantly reduced..."

Upon hearing this, the members of the council gathered together, whispering and discussing among themselves.

Originally, the undead council had chosen to have Teacher Gu Luo and his group accompany Fang Heng and the others for protection and to provide greater assistance. Now, it seemed this choice might have the opposite effect, potentially hindering Fang Heng and his companions' exploration.

"Let's wait and see. We can let them try once we're inside the mausoleum."

Soon, through the mirror projection, the undead council members saw Fang Heng and his companions successfully pass through the outer domain of Empress Persephone's mausoleum.

Fang Heng stood outside the mausoleum, surveying the entire structure that emanated a powerful aura of death.

"Fang Heng, is the stone slab still with you?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng took the stone slab out of his backpack.

"Chi chi chi..."

The slab began to warm slightly, and rows of characters gradually appeared on its surface, as if they were being etched in real-time.

Teacher Gu Luo frowned slightly as he looked at the information on the stone slab. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Like our judgment, the council elders believe the mausoleum guards were likely triggered by sensing our aura. I suggest we split up. You three should try entering the mausoleum for exploration while the three of us stay outside for now."

"Alright, let's follow the elders' arrangement and give it a try. If we encounter any trouble, we'll withdraw immediately."

"Understood."

Since the necromancer instructors were in soul mirror state, they couldn't carry items into the death realm, so each of Fang Heng's group had brought a stone slab with them.

Li Shaoqiang took out his stone slab and handed it to Teacher Gu Luo.

The three of them continued deeper into the mausoleum.

In their Death God state, their movement speed was noticeably faster than before.

Fang Heng led the way, quickly passing through the main entrance passage of the mausoleum, revealing a familiar domain ahead.

As expected!

Just as the high-ranking members of the undead faction had predicted, the guards of Empress Persephone's mausoleum had not been triggered and revived!

In the undead council chamber, the members saw Fang Heng and his group enter the mausoleum smoothly without triggering any alarms. Their breathing became rapid, and some couldn't help but suggest the next course of action.

"Quick, guide Fang Heng to the Hall of Atonement! That area has been sealed off for a while, and we have no idea what's inside!"

"No, there's something even more important. Remember the special inscription stones we saw in the prison? Those stones have unique energy signatures, and they've never been excavated. We can't determine their strength attributes just from their appearance. If we can bring them out and use our mental strength to trigger the inscriptions..."

"The ancient records of Empress Persephone are the most crucial! With those records, we can fully decipher the language of the undead world during the Empress's time and understand the significance of the mausoleum's construction..."

The council hall was a bit chaotic, with everyone speaking over each other.

"Alright, everyone, let's calm down."

Georgi raised his hand, signaling for quiet.

"There's no rush. We've already waited this long; a little longer won't matter. We have time. Let's proceed step by step, starting from the upper levels where the risks are minimal. We'll observe a few mausoleums to verify if we can indeed bring certain items out of the death realm as we expect."

"The president is right; starting from the upper levels makes sense."

With the president's words, the discussion ceased, and they immediately used the stone slabs to provide passage instructions while informing Teacher Gu Luo and his group waiting outside the mausoleum about Fang Heng's situation, asking them to remain at the entrance.

As Fang Heng and his companions were exploring the passage, they suddenly felt their stone slabs grow warm.

It was news from the undead faction!

Fang Heng quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and took out the stone slab to check.

He saw lines of patterns gradually emerging on the slab's surface.
