Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2618  Fire Attack

Under the influence of the vines and roots, the temperature around them began to slowly rise.

Kotal looked at Fang Heng, greatly shocked.

This kind of technique, not to mention seeing it, even the Dark Clan has never even heard of it!

At that moment, Fang Heng turned around, noticing Kotal's gaze. He nodded toward him and said, "Let's go outside the valley and have a look."

Due to the extreme cold aura, Abe Akaya's growth and spread were significantly slowed down. However, Fang Heng wasn't in a rush and communicated with Abe Akaya, instructing it to take its time.

The three of them—Fang Heng, Kotal, and their companion—walked to the entrance of the Icebound Valley again.

A large number of Disaster creatures were gathered on the outskirts of the Icebound Valley, flapping their wings in midair, producing a loud buzzing sound in unison.

"Go!"

Fang Heng waved his hand, and a swarm of Licker-form zombie clones rushed past him, charging toward the outside.

The mutated Disaster creatures sensed the approach of enemies and surged toward the Licker swarm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The moment they collided, a series of violent explosions erupted!

The mutated Disaster creatures, facing the Lickers, also employed a suicide explosion tactic. The Licker swarm's health rapidly dropped under the high-intensity explosions from the Disaster creatures.

This was bad.

They couldn't hold on!

Fang Heng's brows furrowed deeply.

He quickly realized that the mutated Disaster creatures had a special ability to sense whether the enemies were still alive or not.

After one explosion was completed, a large number of mutated creatures surged from all directions, launching themselves into self-destruction again.

Under the continuous explosions, the Licker swarm's health, no matter how much it was multiplied, couldn't withstand the attacks. Soon, they were completely overwhelmed by the dense explosions.

This was problematic.

Fang Heng had originally considered using the virus-contagion ability carried by his zombie clones to kill and generate more ordinary zombie clones, creating a perpetual motion machine-like effect.

Unfortunately, the Disaster creatures' attack strategy was self-explosion.

Before the Lickers could even strike, the Disaster creatures had already self-destructed, meaning the virus couldn't trigger its contagion effect.

Fortunately, Fang Heng's Lickers were immune to the spores of the Disaster creatures.

Neither side could use their infection abilities.

After the initial testing, Fang Heng immediately controlled the Licker swarm to retreat and tighten their formation.

"Buzz!!!"

In the distance, a dense mass of Disaster creatures surged toward the canyon entrance.

The Abe Akaya vines, which were stationed at the entrance, immediately surged forward, forming barriers. The roots kept waving toward the outside world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The Disaster creatures, as reckless as ever, charged forward and exploded in a massive area.

Even the barriers formed by the Abe Akaya vines couldn't hold up and were quickly shattered under the continuous explosions.

"Retreat!"

Seeing the situation deteriorate, Fang Heng immediately led Kotal back, retreating into the inner region of the canyon.

Only when they entered the inner part of the Icebound Valley did the Disaster creatures give up on chasing them, as the cold aura from the icebound region prevented them from advancing further.

Kotal cautiously glanced at Fang Heng, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

After several attempts, Fang Heng once again returned to the entrance of the Frozen Valley, observing the Disaster creatures that had re-gathered outside. He stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Fang Heng carefully observed the Disaster creatures from afar.

Against creatures that relied on close-range explosions, the best method was to use ranged attacks.

The problem was that his zombie clones lacked such capabilities.

To be precise, only the fusion Tyrant form, when equipped with high-energy beam weapons, could carry out long-range bombardments.

Unfortunately, the death realm and other game world passages were sealed off, and high-tier weapons couldn't be delivered.

Even if they could be, according to the undead council's calculations, metals used for crafting weapons in the human world would quickly corrode in the death realm environment.

It would be almost unusable.

Wait!

Perhaps there was another way!

Fang Heng's gaze shifted far ahead, focusing on the area covered in Disaster's nests, like flesh tumors, corroded by time and energy. He licked his lips lightly.

Yes!

There was another trick.

Kotal asked, "Fang Heng, have you thought of something?"

"Hmm."

Fang Heng nodded lightly and then spoke softly, "Let's try fire attacks!"

Fire attacks?

Kotal was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. He followed Fang Heng's gaze toward the front, confused, "Fire attacks? Do you mean Underworld Fire?"

The death realm had a relatively simple elemental attribute. So far, all he had seen was Empress Persephone using ice abilities.

As for Underworld Fire, it wasn't just normal fire—it was a flame released when burning souls, a completely different kind of fire.

"No, Underworld Fire is too powerful. We don't need such high-level flames. Regular fire will do."

Given the abilities of the flying Disaster creatures, they indeed had anti-magic shields and could resist some degree of burning.

But the Nest of Disaster, which clung to the ground like a tumor, did not possess this special ability.

They probably wouldn't be able to easily extinguish normal fire. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Using a spell like burning the earth could easily achieve this, and with his current mental strength, he could create a wide area of flame in a fixed domain.

However, this only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause.

So, to achieve a better result...

Fang Heng was still contemplating when Kotal, unable to sit still any longer, softly reminded him, "Fang Heng, the death realm is different from your world. It lacks many other elements, making it hard to gather them."

"Yeah, I know," Fang Heng replied, nodding slightly.

He had already noticed this limitation.

That's why spells could only serve as a method to ignite flames.

To make the fire effective against the Nest of Disaster, it would require some combustible material!

"Do you have any burning agents? Maybe you can bring some from the Dark Clan—things like gasoline or chemical fuel would work."

Kotal was initially puzzled by the suggestion. After thinking it over, he finally understood what Fang Heng meant, but then shook his head.

"Our Dark Clan doesn't need fire, so we don't carry such things."

It was only because Kotal had visited the human world a few times that he knew about these items. Otherwise, he wouldn't have understood what Fang Heng was talking about.

Fang Heng was taken aback for a moment but then nodded, "Alright, never mind. If you don't have any, it's fine."

Then, Fang Heng activated his special skill—Geological Survey.

He remembered learning in elementary school about how oil was formed. In the death realm, with all the corpses around, there should logically be some oil here, right?

He used the skill to scan the area but couldn't help but show a bitter expression.

Not a single trace of oil could be found.

For some unknown reason, the survey didn't pick up anything.

This damned place had no combustible materials!

Since that was the case, he would have to find a way to bring some over from the real world.

"I'll go to the Empress Persephone's Temple. Stay here."

"Wait, by yourself?"

"It's fine."

Fang Heng placed the stone slab on the ground and instructed, "Kotal, this slab is very important to me. Please make sure to protect it."
