Chapter 939 - 939 Sealed-off Area

939 Sealed-off Area

“That’s right. It turns out that the kid was a spy sent by the twelve corporations, and the investigator sent by the Central Federation, Xi Yongzhi, is also related to the anti-federation forces. You don’t say, the Investigation Bureau was pretty awesome this time. They got rid of all of them in one go that night.”

Li Shaoqiang was in a good mood. He was beaming with joy as he said, “I’ve never liked that kid. As expected, he’s not a good person.”

After the military vehicle drove into the depths of the sealed-off area, the black aura of the death realm around them began to thicken, and the surroundings were shrouded in a layer of black fog.

Skeletal creatures could be seen on the road from time to time.

Without exception, they were all crushed into a pile of bones by the heavily armored military vehicle at the front.

Fang Heng tried to roll down the window and hold the jade pendant that could store the aura of the death realm in his hand before stretching it out the window and pouring his mental strength into it.

“Whoosh…” The jade pendant emitted a faint light as it slowly absorbed the aura of the death around it.

It could absorb!

Fang Heng was delighted.

The aura of the death realm that leaked into the outside world and the aura of the death realm that seeped out from the fallen corridor had the same origin, so they could both be absorbed.

It was just that the concentration of the aura here was not high, so the efficiency of absorption was not high.

Fang Heng put away the jade pendant and prepared to absorb the aura of the death realm again after entering the depths of the sealed-off area.

Now that he thought about it, the aura of the death realm was really a treasure!

Since he was already here, he had to store more in the world of the vampires in case of an emergency.

It was Mo Jiawei’s first time seeing the aura of the death realm. He looked at the skeletal creatures outside curiously and asked, “Brothers, how much longer until we reach? Are we still in the periphery?”

“Yes, this is the periphery of the sealed-off area designated by the Federation. The deeper we go, the stronger the aura of the death realm is. There will also be vengeful spirits in the deeper areas, which are very difficult to deal with. However, they are much weaker than the ones we encountered in the fallen corridor.”

Fang Heng nodded with anticipation.

He hoped that after entering the sealed area, the aura of the death realm’s concentration would not be too low.

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo saw Fang Heng’s expression through the rear window and couldn’t help but look at each other.

That’s strange. Why did Fang Heng look eager?

Soon, the military vehicle drove into the depths of the sealed-off area, and the visibility in front plummeted. Even under the strong light of the car lights, the visibility was less than ten meters.

“Eh? Who’s that in front?” Through the car window, Mo Jiawei could see a light up ahead.

The military vehicle began to slow down and caught up with the convoy that was moving slowly ahead.

“Oh, it’s a small team of players who accepted a mission from the Federation to help transport supplies.”

“Ha? Mission? A player team?” Mo Jiawei was confused.

“Yes, the leak of the aura of the death realm this time is not easy to deal with. The Federation’s military thus sent out invitations for cooperation. Those invited are gaming companies or veteran teams that have cooperated deeply with the Federation. After receiving the invitation, these teams can accept the commission to enter the sealed-off area to help. The Federation will give out rewards based on the specific contribution points.”

Mo Jiawei’s eyes lit up when he heard about the reward, “What are the rewards?”

“Most of them are points from the game. King of Gods’ points can also be exchanged.”

“It seems pretty good?”

Tan Shuo nodded, “Yes, the mission rewards given by the Federation are quite generous. However, considering the time and cost that players have to spend to come here, and the fact that many teams are busy with games so they may not have time to come.”

“Besides, the main mission is to help the Necromancer Association prevent the aura of the dead from spreading and clear the resurrected skeletal creatures. It’s fine in the outer area, but there are higher-tier vengeful spirit creatures in the inner area, so the mission is not easy either. The money earned is just barely enough to cover the cost.”

“It’s mainly because the Federation lacks players with the holy element to purify the aura of the death realm. I heard that the person in charge of the military here is having a headache and can’t sleep well all night,” Li Shaoqiang glanced at Fang Heng as he spoke, “After all, you know, the curse carried by undead creatures is very troublesome. It’s a pity that all your equipment was destroyed by the King Guards. Otherwise, we would have made a fortune.”

Fang Heng’s thoughts couldn’t help but move after hearing this.

“That’s not for sure. Maybe we can earn some now.”

“Ha?”

After meeting up with Fang Heng and the others, the convoy of supplies began to accelerate slowly again.

After entering the depths of the sealed-off area, the vehicles started to stop from time to time to deal with the dead souls and spirits they encountered along the way.

The visible distance had also been reduced to less than five meters.

After about half an hour, the car slowed down and stopped.

This time, the stop was a little long. Mo Jiawei was getting impatient and could not help but look out of the window.

“Are we here?”

“No, not yet,” Li Jiangqiang determined the current position of the convoy and frowned, “That’s strange. We should still be a long way from our destination. Something may have gone wrong. Let’s go down and take a look.”

“Yes.”

Fang Heng was a little bored after sitting in the vehicle all the way, so he got off the car with the others to watch the fun.

In front, the convoy was blocked by a temporary roadblock. The convoy leader, Hu Wenming, was negotiating with the people who blocked the road.

Hu Wenming looked like a benign and honest middle-aged man. This time, he had been entrusted by the Federation to transport a batch of special materials from the outside into the sealed-off area.

Hu Wenming had worked with Tan Shuo a few times before. Because he was worried that he would encounter danger halfway, he found Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo to help him.

Fang Heng listened in on the conversation from the side and then found that the transport vehicle was stopped by someone.

The person who stopped them was actually from a gaming company.

“Friend, I’m sorry. Please take a detour. Thank you for your hard work.”

Is he crazy? To think they even dared to stop a Federation car?

Mo Jiawei was a little surprised as he looked at the person who stopped the car with interest.

The man had a full beard and a big smile on his face. He kept apologizing as he said, “I’m really sorry, everyone. A group of powerful undead creatures suddenly appeared in the area ahead. We have accepted a mission from the Federation and are currently carrying out the order to clear the threat of the undead in the area. I suggest that you take a detour. We are all out here to work and support our families. Please don’t make it hard for us.”

Li Shaoqiang, who was standing at the side, could roughly understand the argument between the few people. He saw the red circular mark on the bearded man’s clothes and frowned unconsciously, “Oro Company?”

“Yes, yes, I’m Dai Congyun, the team leader from Oro Company. Our company has accepted a mission from the Federation to clear up undead creatures. There are high-risk undead creatures in this area,” Dai Congyun sized up Li Shaoqiang, who was wearing the Federation’s standard combat uniform.

Then, he said with a smile on his face, “Please don’t make it hard for us and take a detour. It won’t take long.”

“It’ll take at least a few hours to make a detour!” Li Shaoqiang was displeased, “This is an emergency delivery. Move aside! Are you going to take responsibility if something happens and we are delayed?”
