Fantasy Game: Infinite City

“Tick…”

A drop of crystal clear liquid slowly slid down the hard rock surface and finally fell gently on the ground. Although the sound made by the drop of liquid when it fell was very faint, as gentle as the breeze blowing the leaves, it was particularly clear in this silent environment. And it was this faint sound that aroused the vigilance of some mysterious existence around.

The moss next to the rock suddenly sank, revealing two pairs of footprints. Judging from the outline, they should be the footprints of two women.

"Garcia~~Come out, you can't run away."

One of the women next to the rock emerged from invisibility and called out Garcia's name, as if she wanted to talk to her, but the other woman disappeared and no one knew where she went.

“Ka-la…”

Not far from the woman who had revealed her figure, Garcia slowly walked out from behind the rocks. Her steps were slow and calm, and she seemed a little nonchalant.

Garcia's expression was unusually calm, without any ripples, as deep and peaceful as a pool of still water. She quietly walked to the opposite side of the woman. The distance between the two was only a few steps away, but it seemed as if there was an invisible chasm between them.

At this moment, the air around them seemed to freeze, and there was a dead silence. However, this calm atmosphere gave people an illusion that they were not enemies, but two old friends who had known each other for a long time and met by chance. Their eyes met, revealing complex emotions, vigilance, curiosity, and a hint of indescribable joy.

"I didn't realize you could survive. It's really surprising."

The short-haired woman opposite did not attack Garcia as expected. Instead, she seemed unusually calm and composed, as if she was deliberately creating an illusion for Garcia - she seemed to not take the opponent in front of her seriously at all, and just wanted to use this to relax Garcia's guard.

However, all this was just appearance. In fact, Garcia had already seen through the other party's intentions, but he did not show it. Instead, he quietly operated the swarm. The unmanned aerial vehicles hidden in the dark were activated one after another, silently rising into the air, and after quickly adjusting their positions and postures, they began to continuously spray out deadly virus droplets. These tiny droplets spread in the air, forming a strange mist that gradually surrounded the two people...

Han Zu's mouth, which was covered by Garcia's hair and grew behind her ear, quietly gave a hint.

"Rear right."

"Shh!"

"Ding! Chi..."

Garcia swung his right hand in the direction Han Zu told him without hesitation, and the whip blade on his wrist instantly shot out and quickly attacked there. The sharp whip blade cut through the air, making some noises, and then successfully hit the target. Another enemy who was preparing to launch a sneak attack with his invisibility ability.

However, the opponent's reaction speed was extremely fast. She quickly crossed the catapulting blades in both hands to form a solid defense line, steadily resisting this wave of fierce attacks. In an instant, a sharp and piercing friction sound was heard, as if there was a fierce confrontation between metals.

Even so, the corrosive liquid attached to the whip blade was not completely blocked. These deadly liquids dripped onto the enemy's weapons and clothes like cunning venomous snakes.

Then, a hissing sound was heard - that was the unique sound when the corrosive liquid began to take effect. In the blink of an eye, black spots appeared on the surface of the enemy's originally extremely solid weapons, and the clothes on his body were corroded and tattered in an instant. Obviously, this battle has just begun, and it is already full of endless variables and thrills.

"I didn't expect you to have such a hidden trick up your sleeve. We underestimated you."

"Shh!"

"laugh..."

Garcia did not reply, and quickly retracted the whip blade and changed the target and swung it out again, attacking the woman in front of him. However, the woman was very fast and easily used the sharp blade in her hand to deflect the whip blade's attack.

However, an unexpected scene appeared! The whip blade that was supposed to be directly deflected unexpectedly turned a corner in mid-air, as if it had its own consciousness, and rushed towards the woman's wrist at lightning speed!

In the blink of an eye, there was a crisp sound of "swish", and the whip blade easily cut the woman's delicate skin like a sharp blade, and blood splattered everywhere! The woman was shocked and stared at her injured wrist with wide eyes.

“You…!”

Garcia's attack successfully aroused the enemy's desire to fight. The enemy quickly became invisible and distanced himself from Garcia, preparing to ambush Garcia and quickly end the battle.

Garcia spun the whip blade rapidly, forming a small death whirlwind. The actual purpose of this move was not to attack, but to give the swarm of bees, which was changing its formation, some time to get into position.

"The short-haired woman has already reached half of the infection level. Her infection rate will probably slow down a lot. Now we will move our target to the other woman. Her infection level is still very low."

With Han Zu's perception and the swarm's precise positioning, Garcia finally managed to lock onto another enemy with a lower level of infection. Without hesitation, she quickly closed the distance between her and the target, and swung the extremely sharp whip blade in her hand, launching a fierce attack on the opponent. Every time she swung the whip, there was a sharp sound of wind, as if it was tearing the air apart.

However, facing such a fierce attack from Garcia, her enemy did not show any obvious fear. Although her speed had decreased due to the virus, it was still enough to deal with Garcia's attack. She flexibly shuttled between the whip shadows and cleverly avoided fatal blows again and again.

After the last failed experience, Garcia knew that it was not easy to hit the opponent by sneak attack. So she changed her strategy and began to harass the woman with whip blade, trying to find her flaws and create more wounds on her. However, the enemy's skilled fighting skills always kept her alert and responded in time, so that Garcia's plan failed again and again.

"Show her a flaw and let her come over."

"Om~~"

"Click!"

"laugh!"

Garcia suddenly changed direction and pretended to attack another enemy, leaving his back to the woman with a low level of infection. The woman seized the opportunity and used her speed advantage to quickly get behind Garcia, swinging the catapult blade in her hand and was about to stab Garcia's head.

At this moment, something strange happened. A muscular arm suddenly broke through Garcia's clothes and stretched out. The sharp ejection blade chopped on the sturdy arm and broke it. The steel-like fingers easily grabbed the woman's shoulders and threw her to the right. While the woman was floating in the air, Garcia's whip blade successfully pierced her body, rapidly accelerating her infection.

"Well, we're almost halfway there. Although they're still a little faster than you, they're now completely able to keep up. It's time to have the swarm run at full power. They should have noticed the change."

"Buzz!"

The swarm of bees that had been hiding in the dark formed a tight encirclement, locking the three fighting people inside. At the same time, the swarm of bees near the three people began to spray virus droplets at full power when they entered the range. The intensity was so high that it was like a light rain.

"Destroy these drones! These droplets are sapping our speed!"

“Buzz…Sizzle!!”

While blocking Garcia's attack, the two enemies used plasma beams to clear out the nearby bee swarms one by one. However, Garcia did not stop them, but concentrated on attacking the two enemies.

"Well, the infection rate has exceeded 70%. We can ignore the swarm and let them continue to spray the virus. We can focus on killing one first."

After hearing Han Zu's instructions, Garcia concentrated his attention and stopped distracting himself from controlling the bee swarm. The movements of his hands became more and more fierce.

The short-haired woman's movements were obviously much slower. One of them was unable to dodge and was scratched on the calf by Garcia's whip blade. The other woman's situation was not optimistic either. Many parts of her body were corroded by virus droplets, and her speed dropped significantly. As the infection of the two enemies deepened, the balance of victory began to gradually tilt towards Garcia.

As the battle progressed, the two enemies were completely infected by the virus and their speed dropped again. Now Garcia's speed was almost faster than theirs, and with the help of Han Zu's perception, Garcia's intensive attacks successfully left a lot of wounds on the two enemies. The virus infection made their wounds difficult to recover, but Garcia was able to recover quickly. The situation of the battle developed in a one-sided direction again. If this continued, it would not be long before Garcia would be able to successfully eliminate them.

"This damn virus is too troublesome. Prepare to retreat and deal with these viruses first."

"What about her? I just saw an arm growing out of her body! It's probably..."

"bass!"

Garcia's whip blade stopped their conversation, and the two who were gradually losing the upper hand used plasma beams to pull a large distance away from Garcia, taking this opportunity to prepare to teleport away. Due to the influence of the virus, the teleportation ability was somewhat disturbed, and the speed of activation was a bit slower.

"Buzz!"

However, the teleportation was successful, and the two enemies disappeared without a trace.

"Did they succeed?"

"No, we need to recover the swarms that haven't been completely destroyed. We need to finish the job."

After taking back the swarm, Garcia used Han Zu's perception ability to leave the canyon and began to track the two enemies who had teleported away.

"Uh... huh..."

Not far from the canyon, Garcia found one of the women. She was kneeling on the ground, breathing with difficulty. Although she did not appear to be injured, she looked in very bad condition.

Even when Garcia walked up to her, she didn't react.

"What's up with her?"

"It may be the effect of the virus. That other woman...wait, she's not in the right state."

Garcia walked forward, squatted down, and carefully observed the woman in front of her. Garcia found something wrong. She remembered the appearance of those two women, but this woman looked very similar to those two women, but she was not them.

"This is..?"

Han Zu thought about it and seemed to understand what happened.

"They were completely infected by the virus, and something went wrong during the transmission. Now the two of them are mixed together and become one person. They should be trying to separate, or take control of the body."

“Crack…Crack!”

“Crack!”

Garcia stood up slowly, and suddenly, she felt something surge in her abdomen. Then, a thick arm grew out of her abdomen.

This arm stretched out like a python and tightly grasped the head of the enemy kneeling on the ground in front of him. Garcia felt a familiar energy surging from his body and flowing into the enemy's body along the arm.

As time went by, this strange phenomenon became more and more obvious. Not only the arm, but Garcia's entire body began to change - her skin gradually became sticky and wet, as if covered by a layer of transparent mucus; at the same time, she could feel the familiar energy, turning into sticky liquid tentacles, twisting like snakes and integrating into the enemy's body. At the same time, Garcia also regained control of her body.

“Kala… sizzle…”

An uncomfortable distorted sound came from the enemy kneeling on the ground in front of her. She, or rather their body, was quickly decomposed into a viscous liquid, collapsed inward and was absorbed, and began to reorganize.

Not long after, a familiar outline slowly appeared in front of Garcia. She breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed temporarily.

"Ah... I'm finally back!"

"There are some special devices on their terminals. They should be used to track the people who own the system. We should leave these terminals for now. This will not only hide the fact that they have been killed, but also allow us to find other game cabins and leave this place."

"That's a good idea, but first let's go back to the workbench and make some changes to the two terminals to see if there are any leftover traps or information."

"Well, let's go."

After moving his body, Han Zu made bubbling sounds caused by the friction of bones, and recovered. This was good news for Garcia. With Han Zu, at least he didn't have to worry about combat problems anymore.

"If we can successfully find a way to leave through their terminal and return to your original world this time, what should we do? I mean, what should we do about Infinite Company's attitude?"

“I haven’t thought about the details yet, but I have a general idea in mind.”

"What direction?"

"Pretending to be deaf and dumb."
