Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2117  Right to Speak

Fang Heng didn't reject him directly. Instead, he raised his head and asked, "Is that so? Then I need to think about it. Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"

"Of course, we'll work together to find the so-called ancient sacred tree. There are many methods. For example, we can find the tree spirits and get some information from them. Or..."

Ji Haiting stopped talking and gestured behind him, "Or maybe we can look for some clues from other places."

Fang Heng looked at Ji Haiting and asked, "It's that simple?"

"Alright, then I'll be frank. We've obtained some information from some ancient books. The tree spirits were once the overlords of this world. They had extremely powerful strength, but even as strong as they were, they completely disappeared in some kind of crisis."

"To be honest, if we're talking about selfishness, we do desire that power. Our OmniTech Company wants to control this power for our use."

Ji Haiting continued, "As for more, it's actually a precautionary measure in the face of crisis. You see, back then, despite the immense strength of the tree spirit race, they suddenly disappeared entirely due to some external reasons."

"This makes me very anxious. I'm always worried that the same history will repeat itself, and it's very likely that the next time we face the threat of extinction, it will be us humans. Therefore, searching for the power of the tree spirits is actually a preparation to deal with the crisis in advance, and also for the survival of our race."

Fang Heng listened and smirked, "Sounds pretty good, but ultimately it's all about power, right?"

"Hahaha, I talked a lot, but isn't it the same for you? Aren't we all after power? Only with power can we have a say. It's an eternal truth. We can't always rely on others' kindness."

Ji Haiting laughed heartily, "If you're willing to collaborate, after obtaining the power of the tree spirit race, we're willing to share that power with you. What do you think?"

"Forget it. I prefer to act on my own. After all, I don't know much about you guys."

Ji Haiting frowned and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry to hear this answer from you, but I'm willing to give you some time. If you change your mind..."

On the cliff not far away, Glennan heard their conversation and could not help but shout, "Scram! You bastards! Stop talking nonsense! All of you are here for the treasure of the tree spirit! It was all for the Water of Life! I won't let you succeed!"

Ji Haiting glanced coldly at Glennan, who was high up on the cliff.

"By the way, can I see that? It's my first time here, so I haven't seen this before."

Fang Heng did not seem to care about Glennan. He looked at Ji Haiting and pointed at the withered tree not far away.

"Of course, go ahead."

Ji Haiting turned to the side and continued to explain, "We have installed some activation devices on the ruins. On the one hand, it is a test, and on the other hand, it is to check the state of the withered tree. We have been trying to wake it up, but unfortunately, the progress is very mediocre. To be honest, this withered tree is the best preserved one among all the ruins we have found."

Fang Heng and Cleriway walked past several researchers from OmniTech Company until they came to the withered tree.

Ji Haiting followed them.

Under everyone's gaze, Fang Heng slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ruins of the withered tree.

He couldn't sense any fluctuations of natural power from the withered tree.

The withered tree had completely lost its vitality.

Or rather, it was already dead.

Fang Heng turned his head to look at Cleriway.

Cleriway also slowly reached out her hand towards the withered tree and gently pressed it against the trunk, gently closing her eyes.

This action lasted for a full minute.

Just as the guards were getting impatient, a slightly excited voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Director Ji! There's an abnormal fluctuation in the detection of the withered tree's life form!"

What the hell!

Ji Haiting's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and stared at Cleriway.

When Cleriway reached out and touched it, a faint green light was emitted from the completely withered tree trunk.

What kind of power was that?

Ji Haiting was surprised.

Everyone remained silent and waited for Cleriway.

They waited for another two minutes.

Cleriway retracted her hand again and exhaled, looking a little tired.

Ji Haiting asked, "What did you find?"

Cleriway shook her head and took half a step back from Fang Heng.

Fang Heng shook his head and said, "It seems like we didn't find anything special. Thank you. I think it's time for us to leave."

Ji Haiting stood in front of Fang Heng and Cleriway, looking at them without moving.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to let us leave?"

"I don't know what the tree spirits have told you, but our company has always been law-abiding. Everything we do is for the survival of mankind. I hope you can reconsider my proposal." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There's no need to consider it. I don't like to be forced."

"Then I'm sorry. According to the company's rules, I can't let you leave just like that. I really hope to cooperate with you, but unfortunately..."

Ji Haiting sighed in disappointment. He slowly turned around and waved his hand to signal for his men to take Fang Heng and Cleriway away.

More than ten guards who had been following Ji Haiting stared at Fang Heng and Cleriway with a serious look in their eyes.

"Brother Fang Heng, I..."

Just as Cleriway was about to say something, she suddenly felt her vision blur. Her body went limp and she fell onto Fang Heng.

At the same time, Fang Heng felt a sharp pain in his brain. Then, a line of game prompts appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has received an unknown spiritual power-piercing attack.]

[Hint: The player's spiritual power has passed the check. The player is immune to stun. The player has received 234 points of spiritual damage.]

[Hint: The player has received an unknown spiritual power-piercing attack...]

[Hint: The player's spiritual power has passed the test...]

Eh?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately reached out to hug the unconscious Cleriway. He looked at the dozen guards in front of him and frowned.

A special spiritual attack?

He had seen a similar attack on Charlene before!

The people in front of him were all psychic ability users!

"Ka, ka ka ka..."

Cracking sounds came from the surrounding space.

Fang Heng immediately sensed an invisible barrier field rapidly condensing in the surrounding space.

A spiritual barrier!

He had miscalculated!

The vampire bloodline could indeed sense the power of lifeblood. However, the psychic element was a completely different type of ability fluctuation.

From the vampire's perception, the lifeblood energy of this group of psychic ability users was no different from that of ordinary people!
