Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3588: Source of PollutionEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

”I’ve done quite a bit of research. I know the Source of the Void was once guarded by the Void Clan and was located in the Holy Capital. It’s very likely right beneath this building.”

Wei Qian shook his head as he spoke, ”Unfortunately, this island has been eroded by long-term pollution and has become very fragile. If we were to destroy it directly, I’m worried the island would not withstand the excess force and be shattered, and the entire Source of the Void would be destroyed along with it.”

”I came here to seek a breakthrough with Origin Power. If I leave it intact, I still have some hope. If it’s destroyed, I might never find the way to break the extreme.”

”Indeed.”

Fang Heng nodded lightly.

He still held some doubts about Wei Qian, but continued walking to the wall where the alchemy lock had been drawn, reaching out and lightly pressing on it.

”Buzz...”

A faint light appeared on the wall.

The alchemy magic array runes slowly shifted, combining to form a new pattern.

After a moment, the glow faded.

A spatial teleportation entrance appeared on the wall ahead.

Fang Heng’s mind stirred.

A surge of Origin Power flowed from the entrance of the space passage.

It was the power of the Origin Orb.

Wei Qian’s eyes lit up with excitement. ”Amazing, it really opened!”

”Mm, let’s go.”

Fang Heng nodded lightly to Wei Qian and led the way into the open teleportation passage.

The passage led to an excavated underground space.

Ahead stretched a long underground cavern passage.

A rotting smell filled their nostrils.

As soon as they entered, a sound of painful wailing came from ahead.

”Help... help me...”

Fang Heng followed the sound and saw, not far into the passage, the main bodies of the God of Final Filth and the God of Eternal Silence leaning against the cavern walls, looking extremely weak, unable to stand.

The one calling for help was the God of Final Filth, while the God of Eternal Silence had already fallen unconscious.

Fang Heng noticed strange red threads flowing across the surface of their skin.

Wei Qian hurried forward, crouched to examine them, his eyes filled with a solemn expression.

Fang Heng followed slowly and asked, ”How are they?”

”Terrible. It looks like they’ve been infected by the Crimson Feather.”

”Mm? What?”

”The Crimson Feather is an infectious entity. You can see the red flowing threads on their skin. This is a typical sign of Crimson Feather infection. I’ve heard that the Source of the Void becomes destroyed when infected by the Crimson Feather, and the Void Clan perished along with it.”

Wei Qian looked at the God of Final Filth and asked, ”What did you encounter just now? How did you get infected by the Crimson Feather?”

The God of Final Filth’s consciousness was already hazy. Seeing them, he instinctively called for help.

”Help... help me...”

”Tell me what happened, and I can find a way to save you.”

”It was the Source of the Void... we tried to absorb its power... something went wrong... help me...”

Suddenly, the God of Final Filth’s face changed slightly, the red threads on his skin flowed faster, and he fell completely unconscious.

Wei Qian shook his head lightly and stood. ”They’re both badly injured. They won’t last much longer.”

Fang Heng stepped closer to inspect.

The two unconscious Evil Gods had overextended themselves, and their bodies were filled with a dark and scorching power, very similar to the power of hell.

Crimson Feather?

Could this power be related to hell?

Wei Qian warned, ”Fang Heng, the contamination method of the Crimson Feather isn’t fully understood. It’s better not to get too close.”

Fang Heng said, ”I’ve also heard that the Source of the Void suffered some kind of pollution. From what they said, could the contamination on their bodies have been caused while absorbing the power of the Source of Hell?”

”Very likely.”

”Let’s go. First, we need to locate the Source of the Void.”

Fang Heng shrugged and withdrew his gaze from the two Evil Gods.

Originally, his Origin Power was nearly full. Absorbing the strength of the two Evil Gods could have brought him to maximum.

But seeing their current state, he didn’t dare absorb them directly.

If he were infected by the Crimson Feather, it would be troublesome.

He had already perceived the ripple of the Origin Orb coming from the distant passage, which reassured him slightly. He walked on and asked, ”Wei Qian, do you have a way to deal with the Crimson Feather?”

Wei Qian thought for a moment. ”Not necessarily. I’ve read some records about the Crimson Feather, but I’ve never seen it in person. I need to see the infection source myself. But we must be careful and avoid being infected.”

”Mm.”

Soon, the passage opened into a wide underground cavern.

The Origin Orb floated near the center, continuously emitting layers of light.

Behind the Origin Orb, a pale silver energy body rose slowly from a pool of silvery spring water at the center of the cavern, forming a slowly ascending water column.

Fang Heng kept his gaze fixed on the Source of the Void.

He had a strange feeling.

It seemed that some life form was gradually gestating within the Source of the Void.

”The Source of the Void... I didn’t expect it to have completely dissipated.”

Wei Qian stood at the entrance of the passage, looking up at the pillar of light, his eyes showing excitement. ”However, Fang Heng, the Source of the Void has been fully infected. It can no longer function normally.”

”Fang Heng, look at that.”

Fang Heng followed Wei Qian’s direction and saw faint dark red threads floating within the silver water column of the Source of the Void.

”Crimson Feather?”

”Yes. The Crimson Feather has completely infected the Source of the Void,” Wei Qian said, squinting slightly as he surveyed the cavern. He frowned. ”No, something seems wrong.”

Fang Heng also looked around the cavern, his brows furrowed.

The floor and walls of the cavern were covered with magic arrays.

From the center of each magic array on the walls extended thick chains, the other end of which pierced deep into the pool beneath the central silver water column.

”They are sealing magic arrays.”

Fang Heng observed the arrays and said lightly, ”They were opened not long ago. It seems the Void Clan had once sealed the Source of the Void.”

”I understand,” Wei Qian nodded knowingly and continued, ”The Source of the Void was once heavily polluted. The Void Clan knew they could not contain the pollution, so at the last moment, they chose to seal the remaining Source of the Void.”

”It must have been those two friends we saw earlier who recently opened the seal, awakening the Source of the Void’s power, but unfortunately became infected with the Crimson Feather.”

”Yes, they probably tried to absorb the Source of the Void.”

Fang Heng nodded slightly, confirming the guess, and asked, ”Do you have a way to remove the pollution?”
