Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3156: Research

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

An open space outside the cavern.

Since Uncle Hong and the others lacked the relevant instruction manual, they still took quite a few wrong turns while building the Prism Tower.

Fortunately, the difficulty of building the prism attack array’s Prism Tower was not high. After several trial-and-error attempts, they finally completed the construction.

"Mr. Fang, as you can see, this is a fully finalized Prism Tower. Once it enters battle mode, the spawns can directly transition combat units from headquarters for invasion operations."

Uncle Hong felt a deep sense of respect for this kind of high-tier machinery, inwardly full of admiration.

This kind of ultra-long-distance transition could be completed in just a few seconds, which showed how advanced the spawns’ technological level was.

"Uncle Hong," Fang Heng observed the Prism Tower and asked, "Can the Prism Tower be activated?"

"Activated? Here?"

Uncle Hong was a little surprised, then said, "In theory, as long as an energy supply is provided, it can be activated. However, this batch of prism attack arrays uses the same serial numbers as the Alliance Army. Once started, it will automatically connect to the network, and the spawns may use the prism to transition an attack against us."

"It’s fine."

Fang Heng thought to himself that this was exactly the effect he wanted. He waved lightly, signaling the nearby vampires to move the energy crystals over.

"Uncle Hong, give it a try."

"Alright."

Although Uncle Hong did not understand what Fang Heng wanted to do, he still followed Fang Heng’s instructions, working with his subordinate repair engineers to manually connect the Prism Tower to the energy source, then attempted to activate it.

"Buzz..."

The prism attack array tower released a yellow light, clearly stimulated by the black fog.

"What’s going on?"

While checking, Uncle Hong said, "Mr. Fang, we lack the main control system to link with the external Prism Tower, so we can only manually input simple mechanical commands. Currently, it can be confirmed that the Prism Tower’s connection is experiencing some interference, but the impact should not be—"

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!!"

Just as he spoke, space transition points suddenly appeared all around.

"Not good, back away! The Prism Tower has entered safe mode and is actively connecting to the spawns’ network!"

At once, Uncle Hong’s expression changed. He gestured for everyone to retreat, then tried to hurry forward to cut off the crystal’s energy supply.

"Uncle Hong, no need to panic."

Fang Heng stopped Uncle Hong, speaking calmly and signaling several vampires to guard Uncle Hong and the other mechanical engineers behind them.

As the transition points in mid-air gradually condensed, the transition was completed. The spawns’ mechanical war machines — Punishers — appeared, and mechanical fighter aircraft also began to materialize at the spatial transmission points around the prism column.

Swoosh!

The moment the mechanical Punishers took shape, they lunged swiftly toward Fang Heng.

With a twist of his wrist, Fang Heng condensed a blood-colored long sword in his hand and slashed forward.

"Bang! Boom!!"

The defensive barrier surrounding the Punisher instantly shattered, and it exploded into pieces right before Fang Heng’s eyes.

[Hint: The player killed spawns’ mechanical war machine — Punisher. Player gained 22 King of Gods’ points.]

The vampires guarding the cavern also swarmed forward, quickly dealing with the remaining spawn war machines inside the cavern.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

Immediately after, more transition points began to condense in mid-air around the tower, this time mostly airborne units — small aerial mechanical White Wasps.

Fang Heng gave a faint hum, raised his hand toward the sky.

Blood-colored bombs!

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh!!"

Over twenty blood-colored bombs chased after the flying White Bee machines, instantly blasting them — shields and aircraft alike — into complete destruction.

[Hint: The player killed spawns’ mechanical war machine — White Bee. The player gained 31 King of Gods’ points.]

[Hint: The player killed...]

Not bad!

Fang Heng still wanted to kill a few more, but he noticed the transition points around the prism column slowly fading, and the transition came to a halt.

That was it?

It hadn’t even started yet — was it already over?

Fang Heng turned his head to look at Uncle Hong.

"Mr. Fang."

Uncle Hong, frightened half to death, wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "The prism device has a self-check module. Even if it can’t connect to the spawns’ network at all, it can still run self-tests. That’s why it just entered active attack mode."

"Then why did the attack stop?"

"Uh..."

Uncle Hong wasn’t entirely sure. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe it triggered some kind of internal self-check function and determined that the current environment wasn’t suitable for continued consumption..."

Fang Heng looked at the prism structure before him, rubbing his chin, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

If he could somehow get a few prism structures and make the spawns’ machines endlessly, that would be ideal.

Right now, he was in great need of King of Gods’ points.

If he could really make it work, he could use the prisms to farm monsters.

As for whether it was doable...

It could only be left to Qiu Yaokang.

With Qiu Yaokang’s ability, it probably wouldn’t be a problem.

The only annoyance was that his backpack capacity was too small, so last time he hadn’t brought back more Prism Towers.

Now, with the lizard race watching around the clock, it would be much harder to get more.

"Mr. Fang," Uncle Hong considered for a moment and said, "The experiment just proved that at the current black fog density, transition transmission is not affected. Do you want to move the prism attack array into the cavern? The Black Fog there is denser — maybe it could affect..."

"No need."

Fang Heng looked at the prism attack device with interest. "Dismantle it and bring it back exactly as it is."

"Huh?"

Uncle Hong was a little surprised. He had thought Fang Heng was doing this to figure out how to limit the Prism Tower’s transition transmission.

Now it seemed... not at all?

Uncle Hong and several operators couldn’t make sense of Fang Heng’s intentions. They looked at each other, then followed the order, cutting off the power and starting to dismantle the device piece by piece.

Fang Heng then turned to a vampire duke who had accompanied him, nodding. "Protect them, and make sure the dismantled device is carefully escorted back and handed over to Mr. Qiu for research."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Heng spoke, then shifted his gaze into the distance.

"Your Majesty."

In the distance, Carl flew over to Fang Heng, returned to his human form, knelt on one knee, and reported, "We have found an alien, extremely powerful. She claims to be from the Evil Clan, and she wants to see you."

...

Land of Ice Soul.

Inside the ship’s main control room, the staff reported the latest situation to the captain. "Captain, all prism devices have now been completed. We expected to set up 1,200 attack arrays, but due to previous vampire attacks, some devices were damaged. We have actually completed 1,168 prism defense arrays, and all prism devices are operating steadily."

"Well done, good work."

Granville nodded slightly, turning his gaze to the various screens in the main control room.

The thing he feared had not happened.

The vampires had backed off.

As the prism defensive lines were completed one by one, with a vast network of prism defenses built, the transition passages were set up, and the massive mechanical legions were accelerating their push into the frontal battlefield.
