Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3717: TrappedEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Charlene softly comforted them, saying, ”We might as well try starting from observable dimensions such as energy flow trajectories and rune resonance frequencies to search for its operating patterns or possible weak points. Step by step, I believe we will eventually make a breakthrough.”

”Alright, let’s try again.”

Charlene looked at the helpless alchemy masters and gently rubbed her temples.

She had long expected this mission would not be so simple.

Her original plan for coming here had only been to locate the Sea Abyss sealed land and first find a way to copy down the surface layer of the alchemy magic array before bringing it back for careful research.

Unexpectedly, somewhere during the process, they somehow triggered the defensive mechanism of the magic array, causing the seal to activate abnormally. The external spatial undercurrents were violently stirred by the alchemy magic array, while an internal spatial defensive barrier formed as well, completely blocking their passage out.

They were completely trapped.

The only good news was that after trying it, she discovered that the Tower of Black Fog in the game still remained usable.

She had already tested it.

Using the power of the Black Fog Game to escape was not difficult, but the Tower of Black Fog required time to accumulate power. It would still take at least half a month before they could escape.

Half a month...

For her, that was far too long!

Charlene lowered her head, organized her thoughts, and continued observing the structural diagrams of the magic array.

Anxiety was anxiety, but she could not panic, nor could she lose her composure.

Charlene stared at the hand-drawn structural diagrams of the magic array for more than half an hour. The train of thought in her mind was repeatedly overturned and rebuilt, yet she still could not find a direction to begin with.

Not far away, Aaron led several people in taking turns patrolling around the inside of the sealed barrier. Fana and several Black Castle players gathered together, quietly discussing something. Exhaustion and suppression hung on all of their faces.

”Fana, Miss has not rested at all these past five days. Do you want to try persuading her?”

Fana glanced toward Charlene, who was still burying herself in thought before the alchemy magic array, and a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She also wanted to say some encouraging words to Charlene, but every time she walked over, the words felt hollow before they even left her mouth.

Fana lightly shook her head, a sense of helplessness rising within her heart.

She clearly understood just how great the gap between them and Charlene was.

Everyone had already done everything they could.

But they truly could not help Charlene.

The key issue was that ancient magic array.

If even Charlene could not understand it with her attainments in alchemy magic arrays, then there was even less need to mention them.

Suddenly, a thought emerged in Fana’s mind.

It would have been great if that guy were here.

Fang Heng.

Fana recalled the few times she had interacted with Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was very strong and extremely knowledgeable in alchemy.

It seemed that no matter how outrageous the situation was, he could always find a solution.

Although sometimes the methods he used to break the situation themselves felt outrageous and made people sweat for him.

Fana remembered that the last time Charlene mentioned Fang Heng, her tone had carried a trace of approval.

Fana could not help but raise her head and glance at Charlene’s exhausted side profile.

If Fang Heng were here...

At the very least, Charlene would not have to shoulder everything alone so tiredly.

”Boom.”

Suddenly, a wave of energy fluctuations came from outside the sealed barrier.

Charlene abruptly stood up, and Fana’s group also rose alertly at the same time, cautiously looking toward the direction from which the disturbance from the barrier originated.

”What’s happening?”

”Stay alert!”

Through the semi-transparent sealed barrier, Charlene vaguely saw several figures moving outside the barrier.

One of the figures caused her pupils to suddenly shrink.

Fang Heng?!

Why was it him?

At first glance, Charlene even thought she had seen wrongly.

Whoosh!

Charlene’s figure flashed, rapidly arriving at the inner side of the sealed barrier. Through the barrier, her gaze locked tightly onto the familiar figure outside.

She had not seen wrongly!

It really was Fang Heng.

But how had he appeared in the deep-sea abyss?

Upon closer inspection, there were also several familiar figures beside Fang Heng.

Victor!

They were members of the sea race!

So Fang Heng had come looking for her?

Charlene reacted extremely quickly. After the initial shock, she immediately crossed both hands and repeatedly shook them toward Fang Heng’s group outside. She pointed toward the barrier and then forcefully made pushing motions.

”Do not come in!”

Outside the barrier.

Fang Heng’s group passed through the area where the Sea Abyss giant beasts had gathered and, under the guidance of the scale in Victor’s hand, quickly found the large spatial energy barrier at the bottom of the Sea Abyss.

Then, after approaching the barrier, Fang Heng saw Charlene and the others trapped inside and deliberately created some movement to attract their attention.

Upon seeing that Charlene was safe and unharmed, Fang Heng immediately felt relieved.

Charlene merely looked somewhat exhausted. Her condition was still fairly good.

Unfortunately, the outer spatial barrier blocked sound and perception.

Fang Heng could not hear the people inside speaking, but judging from Charlene’s reactions and gestures, she was probably warning him not to attempt forcibly breaking through the barrier.

”Hoo, it seems our luck is not bad. The spatial barrier does not show signs of severe fracturing. It should still be able to hold for a long time. Their safety should not be a problem for the time being.”

Victor examined the spatial sealed barrier ahead and also sighed in relief.

”I previously led a rescue team here to investigate. The structure of the defensive barrier is more focused on defending the inner side. Its defensive capability toward the outside is actually not that strong. If we directly use external force to break it from the outside, there is still a chance. It’s just...”

Victor changed his tone and hesitated somewhat before continuing, ”It’s just that the spatial barrier is currently in a relatively stable structure. I worry that rashly making a move may instead cause chaos within the spatial barrier. At that time, if the defensive barrier directly shatters, the trapped people inside may also be torn apart together with the spatial turbulence, making the situation even worse.”

”Mmm...”

Fang Heng softly acknowledged while concentrating his attention on the sealed barrier.

The outer layer of the barrier was visibly unstable to the naked eye. Its surface was covered in constantly surging spatial cracks that tore apart and healed repeatedly, giving people the feeling that it could shatter at any moment.

In comparison, the structure of its inner layer was abnormally stable.

Just as Fang Heng was about to continue observing, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of two fully formed magic arrays inside the barrier.

Eh?

Two crystal spires emitting dark auras appeared upon the magic arrays.

Tower of Black Fog!

Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Why would the Tower of Black Fog appear within the Sea Abyss sealed land?

Black Castle?!

Fang Heng’s gaze instantly focused on Charlene.

He had not expected Black Castle to also possess the method for creating the Tower of Black Fog.

Was it because of the Black Orb?

How had she obtained the summoning method for the Tower of Black Fog?

Had she obtained it through the Black Orb?

If they had the Tower of Black Fog, then Charlene and the others could indeed use the Tower of Black Fog’s power to escape from within the barrier.

However, it seemed that Charlene had currently summoned only two Towers of Black Fog. The speed at which the Black Fog gathered was simply too slow.

Was it because she could not summon more, or did she have another plan?

For a moment, several chaotic thoughts arose in Fang Heng’s mind.

No need to think about that for now. The most important thing at present was finding a way to rescue them.

The God’s Eye in Fang Heng’s right eye rapidly rotated while he simultaneously released his mental strength, carefully probing into the spatial fluctuations on the outer layer of the barrier. Following the cracks that continuously spread apart and fused, he gradually penetrated deeper, attempting to judge the internal condition of the barrier.

”Mr. Fang Heng, we...”

Feng Tiya quietly stood at the side and raised her hand, signaling Victor to remain silent.

She knew that Fang Heng’s mastery over alchemy far surpassed anyone else present.

”Do not get in the way. Just stand aside and watch.”
