Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2958: Collapse of Talks

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In addition to Fang Heng’s Lightning Storm skill coordinating with the attacks, as the attack frequency of the Licker swarm’s biological cannons increased significantly, the black mechanical orbs in the air began to sustain casualties from the attacks.

Vionne watched as the battlefield gradually unfolded, and there was a hint of fear in Fang Heng’s eyes.

The black mechanical orbs themselves had low physical defense capabilities, and once hit by energy beams or biological cannons, they would shatter without fail.

Moreover, as the frequency of biological cannon attacks increased, the mechanical orbs consumed a significant amount of computational power and moved to dodge, resulting in a sharp decline in their attack frequency.

Every time Fang Heng cast a Lightning Storm, large groups of mechanical bodies would be blasted apart.

After a while, most of the black mechanical orbs in the air were severely damaged, and their offensive capabilities diminished. Then, they slowly retreated, quickly disappearing into a haze of yellow dust.

"Good heavens! They really managed to hold them off?"

Vionne was momentarily stunned.

"Hahaha, what a bunch of crap Cangbirds, that’s all!"

Arkley gave the mechanical swarm a middle finger as they retreated.

Zaka walked over to Vionne with a smile, "So, expert, what do you have to say now?"

Vionne, who was seething with hatred for Fang Heng and the others, tried to hold his composure and gritted his teeth, "Don’t worry, the Federation will honor its promise to you. After all this is over..."

At that moment, a powerful spatial fluctuation appeared next to them.

A large starship emerged from a white space transition and slowly docked on the platform’s right side.

The ship’s transition was complete.

Captain Gisele looked out of the ship and was momentarily stunned.

Good heavens.

In just over half a month, this place had developed into this?

He had been worrying about this kid at home, and now, seeing it, he seemed to be living better than anyone?

Gisele personally led his team off the ship to meet Fang Heng and the others.

"Sorry, we’re late."

Captain Gisele looked around the surroundings, then shifted his gaze to Fang Heng and said, "Some things happened, but we did everything we could."

Vionne also walked over with his subordinates.

With the backup of his team, Vionne felt more confident and was thinking about how to make things difficult for Fang Heng.

Gisele caught sight of Vionne from the corner of his eye and said, "The formal Cangbird attack line will soon be arriving. Time is of the essence. We need to relocate immediately, and we can discuss everything in detail after we return to the main base."

"No need."

Fang Heng shook his head and said, "We have other plans. I agreed with Mr. Vionne, so we won’t be joining you on the return. As for the Federation researchers in the Western region, they will continue their work here for now. They won’t be here for long; the research team will be safely returning to the Western Federation in about three months."

The Federation soldiers all looked at Fang Heng with astonishment, as though they were looking at a madman.

Vionne was also surprised and looked at Fang Heng, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Leave behind? Was he serious?

Did he not fear death?

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"

While everyone was confused, Zaka stepped forward and stopped the soldiers who were about to move the temporary base cabins back onto the ship, "You guys, stop! That’s our stuff!"

Huh?

The soldiers who were trying to remove the temporary base cabins from the ship were momentarily confused.

What did that mean?

Those cabins were originally dismantled from the ship—since when were they yours?

Zaka walked up to the Federation soldiers and casually pointed at Vionne, saying, "This is the stuff this guy lost in a bet to us as payment for our victory over the Cangbird mechanical battle swarm. You can ask him if it’s true."

Vionne, facing the eyes of everyone, looked grim and said, "Indeed, we had a bet on this. But this is not the time for handover. After we get the ship back to the world, we’ll discuss it further..."

Fang Heng coldly interrupted, "There’s no need for that. The ship doesn’t need to be returned; leave it here, and we’ll handle it."

Vionne clenched his fists, his voice cold, "Fang Heng! Are you really going to be our enemy, the Western District Federation?"

Gisele, standing aside, remained silent, adopting a watchful stance.

He had no idea what had happened between the two, or how Fang Heng had ended up with his ship as part of the bet.

But after a second thought, it wasn’t that bad.

The three ship cabins were a little worn out anyway. The mess caused by the Presidential Palace would be settled by the Palace paying for new ones.

Plus, he didn’t like the experts from the Presidential Palace.

Zaka sneered, "Why are you so angry all of a sudden? Losing the bet upset you?"

"Fine! Let’s see how long you can hold out here! Also, these researchers are all professionals trained by our Western Federation. If even a single one of them loses a finger, the Western Federation will not let this go!"

Vionne didn’t bother to respond further and waved his hand, leading his subordinates back to the starship, leaving Fang Heng and the military department personnel exchanging puzzled glances.

Colette walked up to Fang Heng, a hint of concern in his voice as he quietly said, "Mr. Fang, are you sure you won’t retreat? Although we just destroyed a batch of Cangbird mechanicals, their battle swarm will only grow stronger. I’m afraid..."

"Thank you, we’ll be fine."

"Alright, take care then. We have a mission, so we’ll go ahead."

...

Vionne returned to the starship, still steaming with anger.

He had initially hoped to discuss things with Fang Heng again, thinking that if Fang Heng was willing to back down, he could consider giving him a share of the profits. But now that Fang Heng was so firm, Vionne had lost any desire to continue negotiating.

On the ship, the expert group returned as well.

The atmosphere among the experts was still good.

They had heard that Fang Heng had secured a large amount of mining materials on this planet, and they had come to take over the resources.

But seeing Vionne’s state, everyone’s expressions turned grave as they realized things weren’t as simple as they had imagined.

"Vionne, what’s going on?"

"The negotiation failed."

Vionne answered irritably and quickly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, the experts fell silent once more.

What did that mean?

The ores were gone?

The cabins were gone?

Not to mention the resources, but even the research personnel were gone?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

How strange.

They had invested so much energy and resources just to come here, but ended up with nothing—everything was lost.

Soon, the military personnel also returned to the starship.

For Captain Gisele, there was good news.

Since the cabins and the researchers had been given to Fang Heng, only Colette and a few soldiers from the Federation, along with Vionne, were left to retreat.

In less than two minutes, the evacuation was completed, and the starship was ready to make its jump.

"Report!" In the main control area of the ship, a soldier nodded and reported, "The transition positioning is complete, and we are ready to make the spatial jump back to the main base."

"Mm."

Captain Gisele nodded softly, looking out the alloy glass barrier at the situation outside the ship, and didn’t issue any further commands for the ship to depart.

The others fell silent, all gazing out the alloy glass barrier.
