Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game-Chapter 2582 Exploration

A dozen ice crystals instantly enveloped the exit!

At this moment, even though Karsa realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

The short blade swiftly cut through the air, leaving several trails of dark light that formed crescent blades, crashing against the ice curtain with a resounding boom!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

The dark blades merely struck the icy surface, exploding into bursts of shadowy light.

The power was absorbed by the ice barrier.

With their strength, they simply couldn't break through the blockade in a short time!

"Boom!!!"

In the next moment, Karsa was engulfed by a blazing white light.

...

In the underground passage, the zombie clones continued their relentless digging.

Since they couldn't traverse the surface, they had to retrace their steps and attempt to create a passage below ground to escape.

Digging tunnels had always been effective.

Fang Heng's high-tier tunneling skill had long been leveled up to its maximum.

Considering the possibility of an explosion in the mausoleum, he had even reinforced the tunnels with the zombie clones.

Under normal circumstances, collapse was unlikely.

But if the explosion's intensity was too high...

Fang Heng couldn't say for sure.

At least, based on his coordinates, he had already left the mausoleum area and was moving away from the explosion's epicenter.

Faster!

He just hoped to get further away from the mausoleum.

Suddenly, Fang Heng felt a slight tremor beneath his feet.

That was...

The ground beneath Fang Heng erupted with violent tremors!

What the hell!

He glanced back down the passage, only to see a thick cloud of smoke and debris from the explosion rushing toward him.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng immediately switched to his sacred study, raising his hand to conjure a holy barrier to shield himself from the dust.

This was bad!

The explosion was more intense than he had anticipated!

The reinforced underground passage shook violently, and the path ahead had completely collapsed!

The zombie clones rapidly extended vines from their bodies, using them to reinforce the entire passage once more.

"Don't collapse, please don't collapse..."

Fang Heng silently prayed.

The intense tremors lasted over five minutes before gradually subsiding.

Was it over?

Fang Heng looked back at the passage he had come from.

About twenty meters ahead, the ground had entirely caved in.

So close.

Phew...

Fang Heng let out a heavy sigh.

It wasn't so bad.

He was lucky.

At least, for now, his life was safe.

The entire underground area was sealed off, with stagnant air causing a negative effect that drained health over time. However, as an undead, he could easily recover that health.

Not a big problem.

The next step was simply to dig his way out.

As for the debris and loose soil, he could dispose of it through the alchemy magic array...

Lost in thought, the zombie clones retracted their vines and began digging forward again.

...

Meanwhile, as the mausoleum crumbled, the undead council came to realize what was happening and fell into a brief silence.

They had just made a groundbreaking discovery in their exploration of the Empress's mausoleum, only for it to...

Completely collapse.

It was quite disheartening.

"Chairman, we just lost contact with the teleportation passage. It seems the passage has been utterly destroyed by the shockwave from the mausoleum explosion."

Got it.

With the teleportation passage destroyed, the group's frustration grew, and many shook their heads.

Establishing a teleportation passage in the death realm was extremely challenging; it had taken them hundreds of years to create it.

Now, it was all gone.

"Not to worry,"

Georgi said, noticing the low morale. He raised his hand and continued, "In fact, we've already made significant gains this time. We've gathered enough research materials to keep us busy for a long time."

"Moreover, the death realm is vast, there are many more places to explore beyond the mausoleum of Empress Persephone."

As they reflected on Georgi's words, the group's spirits lifted, and they nodded in agreement.

"That's right! Just these materials alone could keep us busy for decades," one member chimed in.

"At least everyone can return safely this time; that counts as a huge success," Instructor Dickey said, relieved to see Fang Heng safe. He nodded and added, "Moreover, there's no need to worry. Fang Heng has excellent skills in alchemy. With him here, rebuilding the teleportation passage might go much faster than we anticipated."

That's right!

Suddenly, the group remembered the enormous magic array Fang Heng had set up in the death knight's great hall.

With Fang Heng's abilities, they could easily create another teleportation magic array!

When they initially built the passage to the death realm, they faced numerous challenges, including needing to open a connection on the undead side and only being able to enter the death realm through projection. That's why it took them hundreds of years.

Now that Fang Heng was already inside the passage, the process would be much simpler.

"Right, let's contact Fang Heng with the stone slab immediately!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Mission description: The mausoleum built by Empress Persephone has been destroyed, and her remaining will has flowed into the death realm. Her power has suffered a severe blow. However, some of her old followers remain in the death realm, and it's not over yet. You still have the chance to rebuild the dynasty of Empress Persephone!
