Chapter 815: Had Some Doubts

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For places that Ark Company went, it was as if locusts had pa.s.sed by and

wiped clean all the mineral resources, timber resources, and even the mutated beasts.

The so-called joint plan to block them was as laughable as a child playing house in front of Ark Company.

Ark Company was too ruthless.

The forest around the safe area was gone, the ores were gone, and even the mutated beasts were gone. All the valuable resources were wiped out. Other than rocks, sand, and soil, there was only radiation.

There was nothing left. What did the company need those areas for?

It took a lot of effort to fight with Ark Company, but it wasn’t enough to counter them.

What was their motive?

To vent their anger?

Not really.

The players suffered the most.

Once the area around the safe area was cleared, only one-tenth of the missions issued by Raptor Company remained.

Without a source of mission and income, the players often had to travel a long distance to complete a mission.

So, instead of Raptor Company chasing them away, the players quickly changed locations.

Larger and larger areas were naturally occupied by Ark Company.

Ark Company’s name was becoming increasingly famous. More and more player companies and game guilds heard about it.

Many large companies did not want to fight with Ark Company. Instead, they turned around and ran.

The world was big enough. If they could not afford to provoke it, surely they could still hide away from it.

If they were targeted by Ark Company, they could only admit that they were unlucky.

Feeling helpless, Weixing Technology decided to admit defeat without hesitation.

In any case, they were not the only large company to admit defeat. It was not embarra.s.sing.

However, in order to annoy the Ark Company, Dai Yutong still reported to the Federation that the Ark Company was related to the anti-federation forces.

…

At the Necromancer a.s.sociation.

“The corrosion rate of the main seal is faster than we expected. We estimate that the seal in the central area of the fallen corridor has been completely destroyed. At 10:23 this morning, the number of leaked undead auras has reached the warning limit.”

The vice president of the a.s.sociation, Chen Songlin, who was in charge of sealing the death realm, informed everyone about the situation in the sealed fallen corridor.

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a moment of silence.

President Milne of the Necromancer a.s.sociation sat on a chair.

He narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

“We would like to hear the opinion of the Necromancer a.s.sociation. From a professional point of view, do you think that the safety of the death realm crevice can still be guaranteed?”

Everyone could not help but turn their heads to look at Su Shoujiang who was speaking.

Su Shoujiang had a slightly solemn expression on his face.

He was the vice president of the Central Inspection Bureau of the Eastern Federation. The cost of implementing a crisis plan was extremely high.

About a week after the incident at the Necromancer a.s.sociation took place, Su Shoujiang, as a member of the federal team, came to the Necromancer a.s.sociation to discuss how to deal with the crisis together.

Su Shoujiang had also helped a lot when he was collecting equipment for Fang Heng previously.

Chen Songlin shook his head and said, “This is impossible to estimate. The probability of fighting is too risky for us. I can only say that if there is no external force involved, the seal can last for at least three months.”

“What external forces are you referring to?”

“Any damage to the seal, the impact, the fluctuations of the death realm, and the fluctuations of the Shrine of Bones. There are too many of them.” Milne pondered and shook his head. “This won’t do. There are too many factors involved. I’m unable to make a judgment.”

Su Shoujiang clenched his fist with one hand and rested his chin on his palm. Then, he looked at Xi Yongzhi.

Xi Yongzhi, the Level 1 investigator in charge of this Necromancer a.s.sociation incident, had come from the Central Federation.

He had been appointed by the Central Federation as the leader of this investigation team.

“According to our agreement with the Necromancer a.s.sociation, once the undead auras reach a dangerous level, we will immediately take emergency measures to evacuate the surrounding people and declare a state of martial law.”

As Xi Yongzhi spoke, he looked around at everyone. “I would like to ask everyone, what are we waiting for?”

Everyone fell silent.

President Milne opened his eyes and said, “Just as Mr. Xi said, according to the agreement, the Necromancer a.s.sociation can enter the highest state of martial law at any time. As for the matter of dispersing it, the Necromancer a.s.sociation doesn’t have the right to do so.”

“Thank you for your cooperation, President. There’s one more thing.”

Xi Yongzhi looked at Vice President d.i.c.key.

“May I ask if Fang Heng is your disciple?”

d.i.c.key frowned. “Yes.”

“Are you sure that he’s still in the corridor?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing.” Xi Yongzhi nodded and looked around at everyone. “I just want to confirm with everyone in the a.s.sociation that I’ve recently received some strange news. Someone has seen Fang Heng in the game.”

d.i.c.key was even more displeased.

When did he have the authority to tell the Necromancer a.s.sociation what to do?

Moreover, his precious students were all trapped in the fallen corridor and they were under investigation by the Federation.

On what basis?!!

“Ha, who is the person you’re talking about? Why don’t you ask him to step out on his own?”

Xi Yongzhi shook his head and said, “It’s just a rumor. It might not be true. In addition, I’m a little curious. You don’t have much time to interact with Fang Heng. Is there anything special about you taking him in as a student so quickly?”

“Aiya.” d.i.c.key slapped his forehead, he suddenly understood and said, “I’m sorry, I forgot. Before taking in a disciple, I still need to apply to the Federation and write an application report. Don’t mind me, I’ll make it up right away…”

“d.i.c.key!”

President Milne suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at d.i.c.key.

d.i.c.key shrugged and shut his mouth.

“As a member of the Necromancer a.s.sociation, d.i.c.key is free to take in any student. Isn’t the Federation stretching its authority a little too far? We didn’t have an agreement in this regard.”

“No offense, but we just feel that Fang Heng is a little strange, so we wanted to confirm it with Vice President d.i.c.key.”

d.i.c.key couldn’t be bothered with him. Facing Xi Yongzhi’s gaze, he rolled his eyes.

“We’ve investigated some strange movements of Fang Heng in the game, and his academic background in the sacred study is also a little strange. He seems to be prepared for the whole incident in the fallen corridor, so…”

Xi Yongzhi paused and looked at d.i.c.key. “Please believe that our investigation is based on evidence. We hope to communicate with Pu Shi to confirm whether Fang Heng’s behavior in the fallen corridor is suspicious.”

“I’m the one who taught my student sacred study. I’ve lived for so long, so what if I learn some sacred study by a.n.a.logy? Do you also want to learn my sacred study from me? I can do so anytime.”

“Okay.” Chen Songlin waved his hand and continued to close his eyes. “Okay, that’s it. That’s it for today.”

Su Shoujiang watched as everyone left the meeting hall and narrowed his eyes.

Coming to the Necromancer a.s.sociation this time was the right decision.

There was a lot of evidence that indicated that the Necromancer a.s.sociation incident was related to the twelve corporations’ plans.

He hoped to use the Necromancer a.s.sociation’s death realm crevice to attract the attention of the Eastern region of the Federation and act as a cover for their secret plans.

Of course, there was also the Shrine of Bones in the fallen corridor which was very important to the twelve corporations.

However, coincidentally, Su Shoujiang found that Fang Heng was actually trapped in the fallen corridor.
