Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2474  An Explanation

Before being promoted to SS-level competitors, the consultation fee for entering the library's data room was 10,000 points, with no restrictions on the number of entrants or the duration of their stay.

Under the guidance of the halfling, Fang Heng and his companion took the elevator to the 30th floor of the White Abyss Arena. They paid the fee at the entrance and followed the halfling into the room.

To their surprise, the so-called library was not very large, only about thirty square meters in size.

The room was quite empty.

In the center, there was a large table and several chairs.

An elderly patriarch of a different race was seated behind the large table.

This patriarch differed somewhat from ordinary humans. His head had an unusual arc shape, with the skull extending backward like a tail, and he was relatively short in stature.

He was of the Alyc race.

The Alyc race was considered one of the most learned races in the universe. Their members enjoyed long lifespans and had a deep love for reading, being knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times and passionate about exploring everything in the cosmos.

"Welcome to both of you. I am Ray Alyc, and I will be responsible for guiding you during your library consultation. If you need any information, you can ask me, and I will help you find the relevant books for your inquiry."

Ray slowly opened his eyes and nodded, "If it's within my knowledge, I will also do my best to answer your questions."

Simone hurriedly walked to Ray's opposite side, respectfully bowed, and then sat down after moving a chair.

"Respected elder, I want to know about the information on natural disasters."

"Natural disasters..." Ray's face grew somewhat serious. "In this world, many crises are referred to as natural disasters. Which specific type are you referring to?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Simone explained, "It's a type of invader, the Malgas. They are a kind of insect-like creature that can continuously self-update and enhance. They are terrifying, capable of endless resurrection. We have tried various methods to completely eradicate them, but each time they manage to return, stronger than before."

"I have never heard of this type of invader by that name, but based on your description, it reminds me of the eternal disaster known as Ouroboros."

Hearing the name Ouroboros, Fang Heng immediately perked up and could not help but interrupt, "Elder, what exactly is Ouroboros?"

"It is called the eternal disaster."

The elder spoke in a grave tone, "During the height of Ouroboros, the entire world was shrouded in its shadow. Some believe it to be a foreign race, while others think it signifies the beginning of destruction. No world boundary has ever escaped annihilation once Ouroboros truly descends."

"It can repeat endlessly, enhance infinitely, destroy one world after another, leaving behind only devastation..."

Fang Heng furrowed his brow deeply.

The elder looked at Simone and shook his head, saying, "If your world is facing Ouroboros, my advice is to leave, as far away as possible. Alone, you will never be able to confront such a disaster."

"No, we can't leave our home!" Simone's voice grew louder with emotion. "There must be a way! Isn't the White Abyss Arena supposed to be omnipotent?"

"Don't be too agitated. Perhaps the Master might have a solution," the elder said, shaking his head. He slowly stood up and added, "I remember there are several books about the eternal disaster in the library. Maybe after reviewing them yourself, you might gain a different perspective on the disaster."

"Additionally, the arrival time of each disaster is unpredictable. What you're encountering may merely be a precursor, and there might still be a chance for survival. I wish you luck."

Simone clenched his fists, watching the elder walk through the small wooden door at the back of the room.

After a moment, the wooden door opened again.

Several halflings entered, carrying a stack of books. They placed the thick volumes one by one on the round table.

Ray followed the halflings into the room and gestured towards the books on the table, saying, "These books contain records about the eternal disaster of Ouroboros. You may peruse them at your leisure."

"Thank you."

Simone immediately picked up a thick book and began to flip through it rapidly, while Fang Heng took a book from the table to examine.

One of the books was a memoir, detailing the history of a human civilization facing a disaster.

Initially, a scientist from a certain country discovered a special type of mutant worm in a primeval forest tribe. According to the tribe, the mutant worms had appeared in recent years and had been causing significant trouble, gradually disturbing their existence in the forest.

The entomologist took the mutant worms back to the city for research.

Soon, the mutant worms began to spread in densely populated human cities.

Human civilization, which was previously fragmented into warring nations, quickly formed a powerful alliance. Using advanced weapons, they rapidly quelled the crisis.

However, a few months later, the crisis struck again.

This time, the worm creatures had evolved armor that could resist beam weapons.

Years later, the Human Federation declared it could no longer withstand the large numbers of monsters and executed an evacuation plan from the entire planet.

"Endless rebirth... Self-evolution... Mutant worms... Ouroboros..."

Fang Heng closed the book, murmuring to himself.

If the mutant worms and Ouroboros were indeed the same entity, it would make everything fall into place.

The so-called eternal disaster likely referred to the entire population of Ouroboros mutant worm creatures.

Fang Heng recalled that when he first entered the game during the Zombie Apocalypse, the main storyline mission involving the Hila virus had also mentioned "Ouroboros."

According to the main storyline, the Hila virus was a product of the fusion of superpowers and a meteorite virus. Its main feature was its powerful self-healing ability.

The Black Castle later investigated the meteorite connection.

From Charlene, he learned that the flying artifact carrying the spawns had been destroyed in an accident, and it was loaded with a rare substance called the spirit core crystal, as well as a fossil of a special primitive mutant worm virus.

Charlene inferred that Hila had become a host by chance, accidentally merging the abilities of both.

Later, when Fang Heng entered the World of Forests, he confirmed that the spawns were in a hostile relationship with the Ouroboros mutant worms.

The spawns were also convinced that they carried fragments of the Ouroboros genes.

Thus, it was likely that through the main storyline mission, Fang Heng acquired the "undead" effect of Hila, which meant he had some Ouroboros gene fragments, leading the spawns to consider him an enemy.

So the question was...

What did the warning message "Ouroboros" mean in his home?
