Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game - Chapter 2917

Chapter 2917  Fish That Escaped The Net

“Yes.”

Wu Xiao nodded and continued, “Once we locate the ore deposit zone, the summoned creature will guide us back to the nearest surface exit of the Federation sub-base. This passage needs to be protected by the Federation.”

Soon, led by the Licker at the front, they stopped in front of a pit.

It was an underground pit as vast as a large lake.

“This…”

Looking at the scene before him, Nairn swallowed carefully.

The entire ground held a pit about 300 to 400 meters in diameter, packed full of spirit ore, so full that they couldn’t even judge how deep the pit was or how much ore it actually contained.

“These,” Nairn was so shocked he struggled to speak clearly, “are all spirit crystal ores?”

Wu Xiao took a deep breath, his body shivering involuntarily, once again gripped by the fear of sorting.

“Yes…”

…

Ancient ruins domain.

Large swarms of Bone-Eating Fungal Ants continuously emerged from every corner of the ruins.

“Ka, ka-ka-ka…”

Suddenly, fine cracks tore open on the ground.

A massive number of Lickers surged out of these rifts, immediately engaging the surrounding Bone-Eating Fungal Ants in combat, carving out a safe area.

As the ground rifts widened, they revealed a central cavern entrance.

Fang Heng emerged from the cavern with a group of players behind him.

The assistant sent by Nairn shrank his neck as he saw the scene outside the cavern.

What was going on? Weren’t they supposed to break in from the periphery?

Why did they come out from a catacomb and arrive directly at the outskirts of the ancient ruins?

“Fang Heng, this place is too dangerous, we–”

Nairn’s words were cut off by Arkley beside him.

“Mr. Fang, when we arrived in this world, there were no signs of other life forms. But the Federation later found traces of other civilizations during their searches.”

“I don’t know what happened after that. Like the other squads, we accepted a mission from the Federation and followed the military’s main force into the ruins. We discovered the crystal worms there, and they were brought back by the Federation.”

Fang Heng shifted his gaze toward the ancient ruins.

The protruding part looked like an oval fortress.

The architectural and decorative style was mostly circular, with the walls worn down by time and erosion.

A huge number of Bone-Eating Fungal Ants continued to pour out from within the ruins.

Upon sensing the presence of invaders, the ant swarms immediately charged toward Fang Heng’s group but were intercepted by the circle of hundreds of Lickers deployed around them.

As the number of ants increased, the Lickers began to struggle with the pressure.

“Mr. Fang, what now? It looks like more of the swarm is gathering inside the ruins.”

“Let me think.”

Fang Heng responded while staring ahead at the ruins. He extended his perception and couldn’t help but smile.

Hehe!

He had found it!

The Seed of Ouroboros!

It was likely only a damaged Seed of Ouroboros remaining in the ruins, hence its aura was very faint.

Apparently, the Federation had missed it during their search.

Might as well take it along!

Go in hard!

“Chi, chi-chi…”

The ground trembled again.

Under the shocked eyes of the Federation officer, cracks appeared all over the hillsides surrounding the ruins and even on the swarm-covered ground, like an earthquake.

A huge number of Lickers emerged in waves from underground, quickly forming an artillery turret mode.

Wait a second…

What the…

Summoned creatures!

This was completely different from the combat pattern seen earlier in the main ship domain!

The Lickers completely ignored the presence of the ant swarms!

The Bone-Eating Fungal Ants quickly surrounded the stationed Lickers, piling on layer after layer.

But the Lickers didn’t move. They simply held their turret formation, adjusted their gun barrels, and allowed the ants to approach while unleashing continuous firepower.

They…

The summoned creatures were actually withstanding the attacks of the Bone-Eating Fungal Ants?

The lieutenant gulped and glanced cautiously at Fang Heng, eyes full of fear.

Fang Heng looked calm.

The Bone-Eating Fungal Ants had low attack power.

Even normal Lickers could withstand their damage, let alone those in turret mode, which had bonus firepower.

There was nothing to be afraid of!

In just a few moments, the Lickers were already covered in layers of biting ants.

But since the ants were melee units, their effective damage was limited.

These attacks couldn’t even harm the Lickers.

Fang Heng coldly scanned the battlefield.

The skirmish at the ship earlier had just been a test tactic. In real combat, efficiency was everything!

“Boom! Boom boom boom!”

The next moment, the Lickers’ turrets unleashed blasts of condensed bio artillery.

The ants blocking the barrels were instantly vaporized.

Dense artillery fire rained toward the ancient ruins!

“Boom! Boom boom boom!!!”

Nairn followed the trajectory of the artillery and was stunned, his heart pounding wildly.

Seriously?

They were directly bombing the ruins?

Weren’t they worried that some treasure or mission item inside might be destroyed?

Fang Heng didn’t have the time to waste.

Besides, the Seed of Ouroboros cocoon wouldn’t be that easily destroyed.

The bio artillery bombardment lasted five minutes, and the already weakened outer structures of the ruins collapsed entirely.

Yet, dense swarms of ants still poured out from beneath the ruins’ rubble, surging toward the Lickers.

Then keep bombing!

Blast them all!

“Boom! Boom boom boom!!!!”

The cannons roared–boom!

Under continuous bombardment from over 3,000 Lickers, the entire ground was leveled.

And still they kept going.

The shelling lasted over twenty minutes.

By then, the Lickers were already covered in a thick layer of Bone-Eating Fungal Ants.

The entire area had been blasted into a massive crater.

Suddenly, Arkley noticed a blue light spot emerging from the blasted ground and shouted, “Look at that blue light spot!”

Fang Heng’s heart stirred as he saw the mission notification.

He looked up and saw a blue crystal gradually revealing itself beneath the crater.

The Federation army officer stared at the crystal, his expression changing slightly, “That’s a high-level energy crystal.”

“Look! Over there!”

The queen bug!
