Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

"Fang Heng, you..."

Aktu felt that something was amiss. He could not help but ask, "Have you learned how to control the black fog before?"

"Never before."

Fang Heng shook his head.

"How did you learn to control the black fog?"

"I don't know either. It's like an instinct. I can control the black fog by releasing my mental strength. I can master this ability after breaking through Tier 2 of 'lock'. You too?"

Fang Heng also found it strange. He had naturally learned the ability to control the black fog after breaking through Tier 2 of 'lock'.

It was as if he was born with it.

Innate?

Hearing this answer, Aktu had the urge to vomit blood.

He had spent a lot of time and energy learning how to control the black fog.

On the other hand, Fang Heng just used his instincts to get started. Moreover, he could even control it better than him!

"I didn't. When I learned how to control the black fog, I spent a lot of time and suffered a lot."

Aktu said honestly and shrugged.

He suddenly paused as he spoke. He suddenly realized something and turned to look at Fang Heng. He stared straight at him, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

"What did you just say?"

Aktu looked at Fang Heng like he was a monster and repeated, "What? You uttered you've broken through Tier 2 of 'lock'?!"

"Ah, right. I was quite lucky. When I was cultivating, I received external stimulation from Jite, and my mental strength was triggered. My luck is pretty good, so I broke through. Otherwise, I would have spent more effort."

Fang Heng felt a little emotional at the mention of this. He really had to thank Jite for saving him a lot of time.

Aktu was stunned by Fang Heng's words.

Tier 2 of 'lock'!

Fang Heng actually broke through Tier 2 of 'lock'!

Aktu couldn't help but think of all the hardships he had gone through when he had broken through Tier 2 of 'lock'.

In comparison, Fang Heng only took less than two hours to master it?

Fang Heng didn't think that breaking through Tier 2 of 'lock' was anything to be surprised about. After all, he had spent more than half a month from the beginning.

He took way too much time then.

Compared to this, the black fog was what he was most puzzled about. He continued to talk about the black fog.

"What about you? Aktu, how did you learn how to control the black fog?"

Aktu calmed himself down. He took a minute to digest this fact. Then he continued, "Big Brother taught me how to control the black fog. Everyone in the Mundt Gang was taught how to control the black fog by Big Brother."

Meng Ruhui?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Ever since he entered the City of Darkness, he had never seen Meng Ruhui join the battle.

He had heard some rumors from Xiaoqi. He said that the strongest people in the Mundt Gang were Yin Mo and Aktu but he had never heard of Meng Ruhui.

"Is your Big Brother very strong?"

"Yes, that's right. Big Brother's strength is the strongest among the three of us. However, Big Brother hasn't fought for a long time."

Aktu seemed to have recalled something, and his eyes could not help but flicker.

"About five years ago, we received a special mission. The difficulty of the mission was very high. At the last critical moment, to obtain a higher level of mission, Big Brother was seriously injured."

"Although the mission has been completed, there is no way to completely heal Big Brother's injuries."

"After that, we spent a lot of effort and teleported to several advanced game worlds to find a cure."

"Until one day, after I left for more than a month and completed the individual ring missions, I found that Big Brother had suddenly become the leader of the Mundt Gang. Then, he brought us and a group of gang members to the City of Darkness in the real world and settled down here."

"At that time, I heard that Big Brother came into contact with a special mission that could help him treat his serious illness. Later on, our focus was more on the real world."

Fang Heng looked outside the cave and asked again, "Did your Big Brother figure out how to use the black fog after coming to the City of Darkness?"

"This... Actually, I'm not too sure either."

Aktu recalled, "I remember that not long after we arrived here, Big Brother brought us to cultivate the black fog together."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin. It seemed like Meng Ruhui was still hiding something from Aktu.

While the two were talking, a member of the Mundt Gang walked up to Aktu and whispered something into his ear.

Aktu's eyes lit up when he heard that. He turned to Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, good news! Your friend is awake!"

Gu Qingzhu!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat and he replied, "Alright! Thank you, I'll go and see her now!"

"Okay, go. I'll be here."

Fang Heng was worried about Gu Qingzhu's condition. He immediately followed the members of the Mundt Gang to the lounge to search for her.

...

In the lounge, although Gu Qingzhu had woken up, her condition was still very bad.

Previously, she had been attacked by the Federation. To protect her companions, she had forcefully fought against the elite team of the Federation's investigation team.

Later on, to break through the barrier, she forcefully activated the power in her body that she had not completely controlled. In the end, she suffered a serious backlash.

Fana had always been on high alert against Gu Qingzhu. She had been watching her from the side since she woke up until Fang Heng arrived.

Fang Heng walked into the lounge, his gaze lingering on Gu Qingzhu's face for a moment.

Although the facial contours and hairstyles were somewhat similar, Fang Heng could no longer associate Gu Qingzhu with Xia Xi.

They were two completely different people!

Then why did he have this delusion before?

Fang Heng couldn't help but ponder. He nodded at Fana and said, "Fana, I want to talk to her alone."

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

Fana got up and left the lounge, closing the door behind her.

Gu Qingzhu was also observing Fang Heng. She thought that Fang Heng was of her race.

Gu Qingzhu clearly remembered what happened before she fainted. She watched Fang Heng walk towards her step by step and nodded in thanks, "Thank you. I remember that you saved me. Thank you for shielding me and bringing me to the City of Darkness."

"You're welcome. Let's not talk about this first."

There were no outsiders present. Fang Heng looked straight into Gu Qingzhu's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know who you are." 

"I am Gu Qingzhu. I'm the same as you. We're both demi-humans. You don't have to be so careful."

Gu Qingzhu did not have any hostility towards Fang Heng. Instead, she was somewhat grateful as she spoke, "I will not lay a hand on my clansmen. I am also willing to believe you."

Fang Heng's worry deepened as he stared at Gu Qingzhu.

The other party seemed to have misunderstood.

He was not a demi-human.

Fang Heng didn't hurry to clarify, "You know Xia Xi, right?"

"Xia Xi?"

Gu Qingzhu felt a little strange when she heard this name. She repeated it in a low voice. She thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, I've never heard of this name."
