Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game - Chapter 2464: White Abyss

Fang Heng stared intently at Old Black.

This old guy.

He was quite cunning.

Although he appeared to be weak himself, he spoke casually about the ‘demonic seed’ as if it was nothing to worry about, without showing any sign of being tainted.

“You guessed it right. I am very interested. How can I get involved?”

“Hahaha, it’s simple. I’ve already discussed it with Bai Mu. If you’re ready, I can send you to the White Abyss right now.”

“You?”

“Hehe, don’t look at me like that.”

Old Black, seeing Fang Heng’s surprised expression, smiled smugly and said, “Even a rotten boat has three pounds of nails. I might be old, but I still have some tricks up my sleeve. So, are you going or not? The time in the White Abyss is also tight. They say ‘Jealousy’ will be back soon. You’ll have at most three days.”

Three days…

Fang Heng nodded thoughtfully.

It was actually quite convenient.

Three days was just about the time he needed. By the time this trip to the White Abyss was over, his undead instructors would likely have successfully explored the mausoleum of Empress Persephone in the death realm.

The Holy Realm was pressing hard.

There was no telling when the pursuit would restart.

It would be better to act now!

“Alright, give me a bit more time,” Fang Heng glanced at the time, then looked up and said, “We’ll set off in half an hour.”

“Okay, I’ll wait here.”

There were still some preparations to be made before heading to the White Abyss.

For instance, setting up the three newly learned skills for auto-grinding.

“Oh, right.” Fang Heng had taken a few steps forward but turned back to look at Old Black, asking, “How will I contact Bai Mu once I arrive?”

“Don’t worry. He’ll get in touch with you.”

…

Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed as he processed the hints displayed before him.

[Hint: The player has entered a special world-White Abyss.]

[Hint: This world is rated as high-tier (hidden level), and the player cannot enter it through normal means.]

[Hint: The player has entered this world through a special, hidden means of invasion…]

[Hint: Through the nameplate, the player can acquire an initial identity for this world (this identity might be exposed, with the likelihood of exposure related to the player’s perception strength).]

[Hint: Through the nameplate, the player can acquire an initial identity for this world (this identity might be exposed, with the likelihood of exposure related to the player’s perception strength).]

[Hint: Some contact functions of the player have been disabled.]

[Hint: Current mission-Find the White Abyss has been completed.]

[Hint: Since the player has completed the World of Forests main storyline and the search for the White Abyss mission, the player can choose a guidance mission.]

[Hint: The guidance mission is a special mission. By following the mission’s guidance, the player can gradually complete the mission line and unlock related rewards. Abandoning or failing this mission will not result in any penalty. The player’s initial identity will be related to the reward mission selected.]

[Guidance Option 1: Nightfall Stone.]

[Guidance Option 2: Book of Evolution.]

[Guidance Option 3: Non-specific mechanical modifications manual.]

[Guidance Option 4: Dimensional core.]

Fang Heng’s pupils contracted sharply.

Additional rewards?

The guidance mission was reminiscent of the main storyline guidance he encountered when he first entered the World of Forests.

To be honest, that main storyline guidance had been somewhat tricky.

But this time, the options looked quite promising.

Fang Heng’s attention was quickly drawn to the four reward options.

The Nightfall Stone was unlikely to be useful against the Seed of Jealousy, so he dismissed it.

Both the Book of Evolution and the non-specific mechanical modifications manual only had names and unclear specific functions, which made them risky choices.

Thus, the most reliable option was…

The dimensional core!

“I choose the dimensional core.”

[Hint: The player has triggered a special reward mission-Dimensional core (reward mission).]

Mission name: Seek the dimensional core.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: In the World of Forests, you learned from the ancient tomes of the tree spirit tribe that they once acquired the dimensional core through the White Abyss, significantly enhancing the strength of the sacred tree and their clan. By following the mission’s guidance (ring mission), you will eventually trigger the task of obtaining the dimensional core.

[Hint] Generating… Binding…]

[Hint: Clearing status…]

The player acquired the background identity for this world: Fang Bai.

You are the owner of a family-run pawnshop, known as ‘Mr. Fang.’ Your pawnshop has always dealt with shady business. However, this year has been unlucky for you, and you received a batch of worthless items and incurred a significant debt.

Just half an hour ago, you received a call from your creditor, ‘Blackie.’ ‘Blackie’ has given you a commission, and if you handle it well, your debt will be cleared.

Now, you need to find someone named Simone, who should be at an internet café in the urban village.

[Hint: The player’s current identity has a chance of being exposed. The likelihood of exposure is related to the player’s perception attribute.]

[Hint: The player’s current holy weapon-Divine Prank is in effect, significantly reducing the chance of identity exposure.]

[Hint: The player has triggered the current ring mission-Find Simone.]

Mission requirements: Find Simone (current coordinates: 23891, 92871) and complete the related commission.

Remaining time for this ring mission: 60 minutes.

Remaining time for all ring missions: 24 hours.

Special description: Abandoning or failing this mission will not incur any penalties.

[Hint: The player has acquired a mission item-a phone with the employer ‘Blackie’s’ phone number.]

[Hint: If this mission item is lost, the mission will default to failure.]

Fang Heng quickly scanned the various game hints displayed on his retina.

The special background identity…

And the dimensional core reward mission!

He needed to figure out how to obtain it!

Fang Heng withdrew his gaze and looked around.

Upon entering a new world, the first step was to confirm his current location.

The city’s architectural style clearly indicated a modern urban setting. The pedestrians he passed mostly wore ordinary clothing, though they appeared unusually robust. It was summer, so most people were dressed lightly. Occasionally, he spotted mechanical armor peeking out from under their clothes.

A highly mechanized world?

Fang Heng pondered silently.

The game had conveniently provided the mission target’s location.

It wasn’t far from here.

However, where was Bai Mu?

He was supposed to meet Bai Mu upon arrival. Bai Mu’s special insignia was supposed to have positioning capabilities, and Fang Heng had expected to meet him immediately after the transfer.

It seemed that wasn’t the case.

Never mind.

Completing the mission was the priority.

With limited time for the mission, Fang Heng decided to head to the mission target first.

He would deal with contacting Bai Mu later, perhaps after going offline.

With that in mind, Fang Heng proceeded toward the mission target, Simone.

As he walked towards the internet café, he entered an urban village and quickly browsed the world background information on his phone.

The technology level in this world was advanced. A central government known as the Federation controlled over seventy percent of the continent, while the remaining twenty percent was restricted zones with information blocked by the Federation.

The general populace was largely kept in the dark.

Currently, he was in an urban village with relatively chaotic security.

Searching the urban village’s name revealed numerous reports of violent incidents and disappearances.

The area was quite bustling due to the proximity of several large artifact factories.

For now, he decided to follow the mission path
