Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

"Oh."

Fang Heng listened for a long time, but he still could not understand. He roughly understood that the resurrection effect of the plague aura was also a type of virus.

He didn't reach out to take the lab report. He just continued to look at Qiu Yaokang.

Qiu Yaokang definitely wouldn't come looking for him for such a simple matter at night. After all, this was a waste of time and would disturb his research progress.

Qiu Yaokang adjusted his glasses and looked at Fang Heng. He said, "In summary, I have an idea that I want you to verify."

"Yes."

Fang Heng knew that the main event was coming, so he put on a serious expression and said, "Please speak, I'm listening carefully."

"Since the plague aura can corrupt creatures infected by the 'demonic seed' virus and allow them to gain the ability to revive, what about you?"

"Ah?"

"When I was researching, I suddenly realized that the virus in your body is also a special branch of the 'demonic seed' virus. Or to be more precise, it's a virus that is the primogenitor of the 'demonic seed' virus. In theory, the effects of each particular virus after mutation may be different."

Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng with a burning gaze, as if he was looking at a rare test subject.

"I'm inquisitive about what will happen if you absorb the plague aura. Yes, the Hila virus in your body is extremely special. It has a high-intensity recovery ability, and the level of the virus is higher than that of the demonic seed."

As Fang Heng listened, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

What did he mean by calling him here in the middle of the night? Was Qiu Yaokang trying to target him for his research?

"And then?"

Qiu Yaokang's tone became a little excited as he continued, "Then I used your blood sample to do some tests and found a very interesting conclusion."

Fang Heng asked, "What conclusion?"

"Instability, and mutation."

"Since the Hila virus has modified your body, your body is already in a perfect state of balance, so you are not easily affected by the plague aura. However, long-term exposure to a high concentration of the plague aura will still cause cell death."

Qiu Yaokang narrowed his eyes and added, "But we can break this solidified state."

Fang Heng felt a little uneasy as he listened.

"What do you mean? Explain in a way that I can understand."

"It's probably similar to a kind of reconstruction. After entering the reconstruction state and absorbing the plague aura again, you might awaken and obtain new abilities. Of course, there's a high chance that you'll lose the original effect of the Hila virus, or the effect will be weakened, or you can change to a similar ability. For example, Tang Mingyue has a powerful mental strength, and the barbarians have blackthorns spreading out of their bodies. The original devouring body I saw in the underground palace is also a kind of mutation..."

Qiu Yaokang said excitedly, his eyes shining with the desire to learn, "Of course, there is a high possibility that your body will directly disintegrate. As for what will happen, I can't give an assessment yet."

Fang Heng frowned as he listened but he finally understood.

In other words, Qiu Yaokang had found a way to let him absorb the plague aura.

The key point was what will happen after the absorption was still uncertain.

Perhaps he could obtain a new ability at random? But there was still a risk of death?

Wasn't this nonsense?

Fang Heng could not help but smile bitterly.

The undead effect of the Hila virus was simply outstanding. Coupled with the strength of the zombie clone, its awesomeness was simply maxed out!

What if he accidentally ruined the undying body skill?

The risk was too great.

Fang Heng resolutely rejected it in his heart.

"I know the risk is high, but I suggest you give it a try."

Qiu Yaokang handed Fang Heng a syringe filled with a light purple potion, and said, "This is an injection I developed. It's meant to be injected under the skin. After using it, you need to inhale a large amount of plague aura in a short period to take effect. After the virus changes, it will produce a mutation effect. In short, you need to be prepared before the injection."

Fang Heng was a little speechless. He protested, "Hey, I haven't promised you yet, have I? This experiment is too risky."

"That's true, but the experimental data will allow us to have a deeper understanding of the Hila virus in your body. It can also lay the foundation for the next step of research."

Qiu Yaokang nodded seriously and said, "Just put it away and be prepared. I heard from Tang Mingyue that our world has a special protection mechanism. Even if the experiment fails, you won't die. When you leave the world, everything will recover, including the Hila virus in your body, so this is an excellent opportunity to experiment."

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

So that was what he meant.

An experiment with the help of the trial environment?

There was indeed the description he heard when he entered the trial game.

After exiting the trial, the effects on the body during the game could be restored or automatically restored by spending King of Gods' points, unless it was a small number of soul-related skill effects.

In that case, he could give it a try.

When he logged out of the game, he would take the initiative to conduct a human experiment.

Fang Heng also wanted to know how the Hila virus in his body would change after coming into contact with the plague aura.

What if he could level up?

"Okay, I understand."

Fang Heng took the syringe from Qiu Yaokang and put it in his backpack. He then raised his head and asked, "By the way, is there any result from the research on the plague aura?"

"The potion is already being developed. There will be a simulated test product tomorrow. It can greatly increase the resistance to the plague aura for two hours. If everything goes well, it can be mass-produced in two days." Qiu Yaokang nodded and added, "Yes, remember to prepare a sample collector before the experiment. Collect more living samples for subsequent research."

"Alright, I'll remember it."

...

In Lincoln City, outside the mine, the golden Holy Light bloomed for a few breaths before slowly dissipating.

The surroundings returned to silence once again.

The Holy Paladin walked to Karkkila's side and whispered, "Bishop, the guards have been knocked unconscious. They won't wake up for a while."

"Okay, let's go."

Karkkila summoned a ball of Holy Light and led the way into the mine Brilliant light lit up the entire mine. One could see wisps of black aura seeping out from the depths of the mine.

Karkkila stood where he was and watched the black aura gradually dissolve into the ghost fog. His heart sank again.

Mary Fiel also noticed something strange and whispered, "Archbishop, the plague aura is still leaking out. Maybe the ghost fog has a small effect on clearing the plague aura."

"Yes, the rumors outside are not completely fabricated. I didn't expect the ghost fog to be related to the plague aura. I don't know what method Fang Heng used. Let's go in and take a look, and see if we can find some clues."

The group walked through the passage dug by the zombie clones and soon arrived at the sealed room in the underground passage.
