Fantasy Game: Infinite City

“Crunch…Crunch…”

There were sounds of footsteps on the snow. Judging from the volume of the sound, the snow was quite deep, and the owner of the footsteps was not light in weight either.

"There are no human habitation within the largest area of ​​the swarm, but there is a snowy mountain to the west."

Garcia rubbed her hands and blew air on them. Although the cold was nothing to her due to her strengthened body, she still did it out of habit.

"Hiss... huh... I seem to have seen a similar place in a tourism promotional video, but there's no one here. I'm not sure. Let's go to the snowy mountains. The view there should be better."

Han Zu took back the swarm of bees and walked towards the snow-capped mountains with a cigar in his mouth. Garcia followed Han Zu, while lowering his head to fiddle with the device he had found from the two enemies before.

"It should be interference. It may be because I removed them from the original terminal. Otherwise, we should not be here. There is something wrong with the coordinates transmitted."

"So where should the original coordinates be?"

"It should be a small country in Eastern Europe. It should be a scientific research center or research base owned by the board of directors. The specific information is unclear."

"Then it's good for us to be like this now. At least no one can find us. What's the situation of those two devices? Are they still usable?"

Garcia checked the two devices and found that both showed signs of overload to varying degrees. Some delicate circuits had been burned. With Garcia's ability, it was basically impossible to repair them.

Garcia dismantled the two devices and handed them to Han Zu. "It's burned. I can't repair it. It should be useless."

"boom."

As a result, after taking a look at the two devices, Han Zu crushed them into powder and threw them on the snow beside him.

"Why would you destroy them? Perhaps we can find a way to repair them later."

"There's no need for that. Hiss... Not only is it easy to be exposed, but after this incident, the board will definitely make a new batch of devices. Whoever uses this old one will be the real culprit of this incident."

"So this thing is only for one-time use, what if we need to go directly to the board later?"

"That's easy. There will definitely be more assassinations against me in the future. I can just get a few more when the time comes."

"You are open-minded."

"Huh... I guess so."

After chatting about random things along the way for more than ten minutes, Han Zu and Garcia arrived at the foot of the mountain. They used the swarm of bees to search the entire snow mountain again. Strangely, there was still no one here.

"Go up and have a look."

Carrying Garcia on his back, Han Zu reached the top of the mountain after a few jumps. The temperature dropped a lot. Here, Han Zu once again used the swarm and powerful vision to look around the snow-capped mountains.

"Well, it seems that I remembered correctly. This is the location I saw in the tourism promotional video."

"So we're back in your world?"

"It's hard to say right now. After all, we still haven't seen anyone else... What is that?"

At the edge of the swarm, a man appeared. I zoomed in and observed him quietly. From the way he was dressed and the axe in his hand, I could tell that he was a lumberjack.

The lumberjack was accompanied by a dog, a large sled dog, and there was a box on the sled. The lumberjack came under a tree and started his work. The lumberjack looked very burly, but he should be quite old. It took him some time to finish his work. He put the axe aside, sat on the tree trunk, took out something from the box on the sled and drank it. It looked like wine.

"Well, we should be back. Let's go, it's time to go home."

Garcia walked in front of Han Zu, with his back against Han Zu. A culture chamber-style airdrop cabin quickly appeared, surrounding the two of them. As the cabin door closed, flames quickly sprayed out from the bottom of the airdrop cabin, and it rose into the sky in an instant and disappeared here.

after a while.

"Bang. Chi..."

The airdrop capsule landed on the ground. As steam gushed out, the hatch quickly opened and Garcia and Han Zu walked out.

"This doesn't look like City C, it looks more like a farmland. Are you going here to do something?"

The location where the airdrop capsule landed was a farmland. The crops had been harvested long ago, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground. It should be winter now.

One or two kilometers away from the farmland is a village. Garcia's bee colony can detect it at this distance. Every household in the village has posted couplets, which look very new and should have been put up not long ago. Some children are setting off firecrackers on the main street of the village, which looks very warm.

He told Han Zu the information he saw. Han Zu nodded and asked Garcia a question that sounded unrelated.

"Is there a slaughterhouse in the village? Are there any freshly killed pigs or something like that?"

Although Garcia was puzzled, he observed it again and told Han Zu.

"Yes, I just saw a truck carrying a lot of pigs drive in. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Hiss... Huh... Well, through the couplets posted in the village, we can be sure that we are back in Dragon Country. It's winter now. The children in the village who are playing with fireworks and firecrackers are wearing new clothes, some of which are brand-name. Parents should be taking their children back to their hometown for the New Year. The slaughterhouse near the village is still operating, which means it's before the New Year. This year's New Year is in the middle of February, so it should be the last few days of January, or the first few days of February."

"So you are calculating time? How long did you stay in that deserted world?"

"Well, I left my original world around October or November. Now it seems that I have been away for about two or three months."

Garcia nodded, but soon found the difference.

"But I remember you told me before that even if we exclude the time you spent in the Infinite City, you only stayed in that world for about half a year. Doesn't this time match up?"

Han Zu didn't say anything, just smoked his cigar silently, probably thinking about something.

"It must be the work of Infinite Company. These worlds must have been transformed by them. The speed of time flow is different between them."

"Not necessarily." Garcia seemed to have other ideas. "We are not sure yet what the principle of teleportation is in the Infinite City game cabin. Maybe time has changed during the teleportation process."

Han Zu nodded and agreed with Garcia.

"But even if this matter is really as you said, it is not a problem now."

"Oh, there's one more thing. Why don't you just use the airdrop capsule to go back home, but stop here? Is it just to confirm the current time?"

"Distance limit. The location we teleported back to is too far away. The effective range of the airdrop pod is not that far."

The orbital airdrop would probably take some time to cool down. Smoking a cigar, Han Zu and Garcia left the farmland and came to an uninhabited hillside nearby. Han Zu cleared a clean space and sat on it, resting against a tree trunk.

"After you go back this time, Infinity Company will definitely come knocking on your door. How are you going to deal with it?"

Garcia sat on Han Zu's left shoulder, held Han Zu's right shoulder with one hand, tapped his fingers rhythmically, and started talking to Han Zu.

"Simple, just pretend to be deaf and dumb."

"But I think, hiss... huh... Infinite Company won't believe it." Taking the cigar from Han Zu's hand, Garcia also began to puff out smoke.

"The three forces of Unlimited Company and the board of directors should be quiet for a while after this incident. They need to reorganize their forces. This incident is a great thing for the current chairman. He will definitely take this opportunity to suppress the board of directors. So as long as we pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that nothing has happened, these two parties will not cause us any trouble."

"And we can use the time they are fighting each other to improve our strength and find new forces to fight against them. But you didn't mention the third party, that is, the faction of the former chairman."

"I really don't know what she wants to do. Although we have had some contact with her before, I think she definitely doesn't care."

"You said before that she was a good person."

"Anyone with a little intelligence can fake this. I'm usually harmless, but when I turned someone into a beef paste, did I ever blink?"

"Tsk tsk, that's right. Then when we go back, we'll just pretend nothing happened?"

"Almost, but I can't act too hard. If someone asks me something, I'll just say it."

"But how much to say and how deep to say it is up to you, right?"

"Hmm! You have a good understanding!"

After extinguishing the almost finished cigar, Garcia stood up from Han Zu's shoulder. Han Zu also stood up from the ground and cleaned the dust off his pants.

"Let's go back first."

The airdrop capsule reappeared, wrapped the two people, quickly rose into the air, and disappeared on the spot.

"Bang. Chi..."

Steam gushed out, the hatch opened, and this time Han Zu appeared in a familiar place, the open space in front of his warehouse.

My newly bought car, which I only drove once, was parked next to me. There was a thick layer of snow on the roof, and it seemed that it had not been moved for a long time. I swept away some of the snow and touched the roof. There was still a thick layer of dust on it. It seemed that my SUV had not been moved before the winter came.

"You really do live in a warehouse. I thought you were just talking."

"When I first entered the Infinite City, I didn't have another body to use at that time. Ordinary residences were not convenient for my body size, so I bought this place and turned it into my residence."

Arriving at the door of the warehouse, Han Zu spewed flames from his mouth, melting the ice and snow-covered ground in front of the door, and then took out a concrete square brick that was inserted into the ground. There was a groove in the center of the square brick, and inside was a spare key in a waterproof bag.

"There's one more thing I just realized. You can actually breathe fire in the body of the leader. I thought you could only do that in the body of the tyrant. Is it because you absorbed that shadow?"

"Well, now I can use all my abilities, and their variations, no matter what body I am in, without any impairment at all."

"So, the three bodies you have now are just different in appearance?"

"Yes, and the most important point is that the Infinite City's system did not discover this. It seems that my previous idea was correct."

"Click."

After unlocking the warehouse door, Han Zu lifted the heavy metal gate with one hand and walked in with Garcia.

The furnishings in the warehouse had not changed and were basically the same as when he left. There was thick dust on the floor and furniture, and no one had been there.

"Didn't you say there was a woman living here? Why didn't I see her?"

"I guess he went home or went to visit other friends."

"But shouldn't we take everything away?"

Garcia leaned against the door frame of Han Zu's bedroom, hugged his shoulders, stretched out a finger and pointed inside. Han Zu walked over and took a look. There were only his things inside, and no trace of Lu An.
