Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Chapter 2228 Catching a Big Fish

Chapter 2228  Catching a Big Fish

After all, he was fis.h.i.+ng for bigger fish with a long line.

He still had some missions from the Leaf tribe, and he was curious why the Wood tribe people would attack human towns for no reason.

What tricks were they playing behind the scenes?

s.h.i.+ Yanwu didn't know what Fang Heng was thinking. He withdrew his gaze and began to a.s.sess the layout of the warehouse.

After the recent skirmish, the already dilapidated warehouse became even more scattered.

A message came from the command post: "s.h.i.+ Yanwu, we've just learned from several suspected members of the Tree Whisperers Alliance who were captured that the alliance has been cooperating with the tree spirit tribe to collect special ore. The ore should be in the warehouse now. Please check if it's there."

"Understood!"

s.h.i.+ Yanwu looked at his subordinates and asked, "Have you found the ore?"

"Yes, over there."

"Let's go take a look."

s.h.i.+ Yanwu immediately followed a few soldiers to the corner of the warehouse.

Fang Heng also followed to inspect.

Several boxes stacked along the wall contained ore.

"What kind of ore is this?"

It looked like unrefined ore, with small white spots still visible.

If it weren't for the information from the command post, Fang Heng would have thought it was some kind of inferior ore at first glance.

The soldiers looked at each other, shaking their heads in confusion.

None of them were experts and they couldn't figure it out.

Fang Heng crouched down, picked up a piece of ore from the box, and examined it in his hand.

Game hints immediately appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player discovers item-unrefined white energy ore.]

[Hint: The player's mineral exploration and mineral detection skills are detected, The player obtains partial information about the item.]

Item: Unrefined white energy ore.

Current ore rating: F.

Energy contained: Very little.

Description: A natural companion energy ore, containing extremely weak spatial energy. This ore needs to be refined through special rituals before use.

Description: Requires Level 180 or higher special ore smelting technology or Level 30 or higher magic smelting technology to refine this Item and extract white energy crystal sources.

Huh?

Seems like it's an energy ore?

Fang Heng's mind raced.

The tree spirit tribe occupied this place for energy ore?

Indeed, whether it was the tree spirit tribe, the sp.a.w.ns, or humans, everyone needed energy resources.

It couldn't be considered a problem.

"Dr. Fang, do you know what this ore is?"

Fang Heng glanced at s.h.i.+ Yanwu beside him and nodded, "Yes, it's a special ore that can be turned into an energy source after extraction."

"Energy ore..."

s.h.i.+ Yanwu couldn't help but mutter to himself, as if realizing something, he reopened the walkie-talkie to contact the command post.

"Command post, we've found what appears to be residual energy ore from the tree spirit tribe in the warehouse. We request an investigation into whether recent attacks by the tree spirit tribe are related to the mining area."

"Understood, we are gathering information. It will take some time."

"Captain, we've got some information."

While waiting for feedback from the command post, another Federation soldier hurriedly approached from outside the warehouse and reported, "We just asked members of the Tree Whisperers Alliance. They've been a.s.sisting the tree spirit tribe in developing an abandoned mine in the eastern part of the town. It's said that the tree spirit tribe only wants this type of ore with white frost spots."

"The frost ore dug up is temporarily transported to the warehouse, and supposedly, every noon, the tree spirit tribe personally transports the ore back."

A mine?

They exchanged looks, all with a puzzled expression in their eyes.

The command post soon came with a message, "Psychic team, we have found some information related to the town's mining area. The eastern mine is called Red Rock Mine, privately owned by the town. It was completely abandoned twelve years ago after Federation approval."

"The Red Rock mining area previously discovered a companion ore called white frost stone during excavation. This type of ore contains very little energy, but extracting the energy requires several times more energy, so white frost stone is considered worthless as a companion ore."

"In addition, we have just compared recent attacks on other towns by the tree spirit tribe and found that 30% of the attacked areas are related to this type of white frost stone ore."

"We have reason to suspect that the attacks by the tree spirit tribe on us are related to white frost stone."

Upon hearing the command post's reply, the group fell into silence once again.

White frost stone?

So, white frost stone still holds some mysteries they didn't know about?

Fang Heng's mind suddenly raced, and he had a guess.

Could it be...

Is the energy of white frost stone used for the sacred tree to absorb?

In the past, he had tried to directly feed energy crystals to the sacred tree, Abe Akaya.

However, most of Abe Akaya's power couldn't be directly absorbed.

They could only absorb natural energy or convert strength through Abe Akaya's special blood abilities.

Could the tree spirit tribe have another way?

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Let's try it!

Fang Heng immediately contacted Mo Jiawei through remote communication and sent him some video information to investigate.

"Captain, while searching the town, we found another batch of ore outside. We captured some miners hired by the town and interrogated them quickly."

Another subordinate entered the warehouse and continued reporting, "It is said that the Tree Whisperers Alliance of the town began collecting white frost ore under the instructions of the tree spirit tribe a long time ago. However, about thirty years ago, the tree spirit tribe's demand for the ore disappeared completely."

"In recent times, the tree spirit tribe suddenly has a great demand for white frost stone again. The Tree Whisperers Alliance sent back the stockpiled white frost stone acc.u.mulated over a decade a few days ago, but it wasn't enough. The tree spirit tribe instructed them to mine the mountain continuously for twenty-four hours to obtain white frost stone."

So urgent...

Fang Heng furrowed his brows upon hearing this, then glanced at s.h.i.+ Yanwu beside him.

It seemed there was indeed an urgent need.

Could it be that his guess was correct?

Does the tree spirit tribe need this to nurture the sacred tree?

s.h.i.+ Yanwu asked, "Where is the ore being transported to? Can we find out the gathering place of the Wood tribe?"

"I'm not sure. The Tree Whisperers Alliance is only responsible for mining the stone. The transportation and guarding of the ore are handled by the tree spirit tribe themselves."

"I see. Hand the people over to the interrogation department. We're preparing to evacuate."

"Understood!"
