Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Chapter 2418 What a Coincidence

Chapter 2418 What a Coincidence

The necromantic attacks crashing against the holy barrier dissolved almost instantly.
The players' faces turned pale as they witnessed the scene. Each Purifier from the Holy Realm was extraordinarily powerful, and with the collective might of their barrier, there was no way they could break through.
Were they aiming to wipe them all out?
The group's spirits sank.
"Run! Retreat!"
Someone shouted, and the group quickly began to pull back.
"Norbert! What should we do?"
Since they had come under Norbert's command, their first instinct in a crisis was to consult him.
"I don't know. The Holy Realm's forces arrived too quickly!"
Norbert was preoccupied with thoughts of Fang Heng.
"What about the death knight's seal? Did it break?"
The group then remembered the death knight's seal. Given the time, their timed explosives should be going off soon.
They had probably been too far to sense any immediate changes.
"Go! Retreat quickly! We need to check back!"
The Purifiers from the Holy Realm were immensely powerful, far exceeding the players' current levels, leaving the group with no chance of resistance as they retreated in disarray.
Li Shaoqiang, seeing the dire situation, was the first to flee and made it back to the exterior of the sealing hall.
Tan Shuo, waiting outside the great hall, noticed Li Shaoqiang's urgent return and furrowed his brow, asking, "What's the situation?"
"It's bad. The Holy Court has set up barriers outside, preventing our escape, and they've sent people in after us."
Tan Shuo's expression darkened at the news.
Li Shaoqiang pressed, "What about you? Any sign of the death knight?"
"No movement. The explosives Norbert left haven't been triggered."
"This is bad. Let's hurry and find Fang Heng!"
In the midst of the urgency, Li Shaoqiang instinctively decided to find Fang Heng first.
It was almost an instinctive belief that locating Fang Heng would solve all their problems.
...
Outside the Tower of Bones, as the players retreated into the tower, the Purifier Karolina lightly raised her hand in a signal.
The Purifiers all turned their attention to Karolina.
"Immediately inform the Holy Realm that the seal has been completed. Leave a portion of our forces outside to maintain the magic array. The rest will accompany me into the Tower of Bones to capture Fang Heng."
"Understood!"
Meanwhile, in the Holy Realm, the adjudicator Orkney opened his eyes in response to the call.
It's happening!
Everything was proceeding exactly as planned.
The Purifiers had located Fang Heng and secured the area.
Now, they just needed to enter the undead realm and deal with Fang Heng.
"Initiate Descent. This time, Fang Heng will not escape."
"Yes!"
...
In the death knight space, Fang Heng, unaware of the external situation, focused on controlling the Shrine of Bones to purify the undead aura.
After several rounds of purification, most of the chilling attributes within the aura had been cleansed, and they no longer posed any significant negative effects.
Sucking in the purified energy, Fang Heng felt a refreshing surge of power!
The undead aura that had pervaded the entire death knight space was dense and potent, significantly boosting his necromancy experience points with each absorption.
Unfortunately, as he absorbed the aura, its concentration in the space was rapidly decreasing.
Suddenly, a series of game hints appeared in his vision.
[Hint: The pursuit team sent by the Holy Realm has located you and is expected to arrive in approximately 0.3 + 0.1 (additional time due to holy weapon skill effects) hours.]
[Hint: Due to the player being in a special space, the Holy Realm pursuit team's location will be at a random domain in the periphery of the special space.]
Huh?
What?!
Fang Heng's heart raced as he processed the hints.
The Holy Realm's pursuers were on their way?!
Given that he had made numerous trips to Punoze, the tracking time had been reduced to its limit. Previously, the Holy Realm had been hesitant to act out of fear of the undead.
But now, with the Holy Realm launching an attack on Punoze, Fang Heng had less than 30 minutes left.
"This is troublesome..."
Indeed, the Holy Realm had not given up on him.
Fang Heng had initially planned to continue absorbing the undead aura for a while longer but had to abandon that idea. He would have to try again next time.
There was no need to confront the Holy Realm directly.
He stopped absorbing the necromancy energy and prepared to escape.
"Death knight, I'm leaving now. I'll come back next time," Fang Heng said, casting one last glance at the death knight's condition.
The death knight had its eyes tightly closed and made no effort to acknowledge him.
"Fine..."
Fang Heng had pursed his lips and was about to leave through the space passage he had used earlier when suddenly his brow furrowed.
The space passage, which was floating in mid-air, began to flicker rapidly.
Moments later, Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang stepped through the exit and appeared in front of Fang Heng.
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang entered the death knight's special space and, sensing their surroundings, were immediately taken aback.
Wow!
Just as Fang Heng had predicted, the undead aura in the death knight space was indeed incredibly dense.
No wonder he had not come out yet.
As Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang surveyed the environment, they quickly focused on Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng?"
Fang Heng asked, "What's happening outside?"
"Uh," Li Shaoqiang replied urgently, "We don't know when the Holy Realm's forces arrived, but they have completely surrounded the Tower of Bones area. They've also set up enhanced barrier magic arrays around the perimeter to prevent us from escaping. It looks like the Holy Realm's people will breach the area soon."
Fang Heng frowned slightly.
Such a coincidence?
Just as the Holy Court had sealed off the area outside, the Holy Realm's pursuit notification appeared.
This was bad.
The series of actions by the Holy Realm seemed to be targeting him specifically!
"Fang Heng," Tan Shuo said, casting a wary glance around, "What's the situation in the death knight space?"
"It's a bit different from what we expected. It's a long story. Let's go check it out."
As he spoke, Fang Heng stepped into the teleportation light spot.
"Whoosh!"
As Fang Heng exited the death knight space, the undead faction players who had retreated were also rushing back to regroup in the Great Hall.
[Hint: The current environment is affected by a holy seal. The player cannot use spatial abilities, teleportation skills, or perform offline actions or remote communications.]
Unable to go offline!
Fang Heng's pupils constricted.
The players, rushing back, found the sealing stone pillar intact and immediately felt alarmed.
"Hey! Norbert! What's going on? Why hasn't the death knight space exploded?"
"Boom!!!"
Before Norbert could respond, several undead faction players were hurled into the Great Hall from its entrance.
Outside the Great Hall, holy light from the Holy Realm shone brightly.
Fang Heng looked toward the Great Hall entrance, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Purifiers from the Holy Realm!
In his peak condition and without using special abilities, Fang Heng was confident he could hold his own against a single Holy Realm's Purifier.
But when the number of Purifiers increased, he would be outmatched!
Especially with so many accompanying Holy Realm knights.
