Fantasy Game: Infinite City

After eating and drinking, Han Zu used the smart central control to turn on the air circulation system on the private plane to clear the smell of wine and food in the cabin, while chatting with the person in charge of the base.

"This person's name is Zhao Xuan. He was originally a second-level engineer in the Engineering Department. After graduating from the Engineering Technology College under the Unlimited Company, he went directly to work for a subsidiary of the Unlimited Company. Because of his talent in engineering, he was quickly recruited by the Engineering Department and worked there for more than a year."

"It sounds normal, but didn't you say at the time that anyone who wanted to come to me had some problems?"

"That's right. This guy came to the engineering department. Although he was promoted from an ordinary fourth-level engineer to a second-level engineer in four months, he also caused a lot of trouble during this period. Do you remember the power armor you saw in the copy of that space station before?"

"I remember. That kind of power armor looked very practical, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Why are you talking about it suddenly?"

"At the regular meeting of each department, we analyzed your actions in the dungeon and the system of the Infinite City. We analyzed your failures and abnormalities. When watching your video, the Engineering Department and the Security Department were very interested in the power armor. If we could manufacture the same equipment, it would be a great help to us. So we sent a few teams to collect some samples and the Engineering Department modified them. Zhao Xuan was one of the participants at that time."

"From your tone, it seems that our engineer Zhao has caused a big mess in this matter. Tell me more about it."

Han Zu looked back at Zhao Xuan who was sitting in the front of the cabin. After noticing Han Zu's gaze, Zhao Xuan turned his head away embarrassedly, avoiding eye contact.

"The renovation project went very smoothly at the beginning. This guy was the fastest and best among all the engineers of the same period in terms of efficiency, adaptability to security personnel or departments with special needs, so in the middle of the renovation project, the director of engineering promoted him to the secondary person in charge of this renovation project. All subsequent renovation projects were carried out using the drawings made by Zhao Xuan."

“Isn’t this good?”

"It's really good, but this guy didn't mark everything in the blueprint. In fact, all the power armors modified according to his blueprints have added a new type of energy device that the research department has not yet completed. As the energy source of the power armor, this thing is very unstable. Once damaged, as long as the integrity is less than 60%, a violent explosion will occur, and it will also have extremely strong radioactivity."

"Then this thing can be used in the self-destruct system of power armor? That's not a big problem!"

"The general manager of the project at that time also explained it this way after re-examining the finished product. However, the general manager was cautious and investigated all the engineering projects that Zhao Xuan had handled before. After the investigation, he found that all the equipment that was only related to him was at risk of exploding at any time. He was even responsible for the maintenance of the energy core of the engineering department for a period of time. If that thing exploded, the entire engineering department would be blown up."

"Wow! Not bad! A demolition expert!"

Han Zu looked at Zhao Xuan's position again. The latter lowered his head in embarrassment and scratched his head.

"Originally, this guy was going to be dealt with because many people thought he was a spy sent by the chairman. However, after the investigation team thoroughly investigated him, they found that he was a clean and normal guy, so they threw him to the least important department of the engineering department to repair some unimportant things. Later, when the chairman spread the news of "Mr. γ" internally, this guy was completely abandoned by the engineering department and thrown to you."

"These guys really don't know what's good! Such a good blasting... no, engineering expert, they don't even want this?! This is a valuable talent! Engineer Zhao? How about it, are you interested in joining the logistics department? The salary is very generous!"

"I'm willing! As long as I can continue to stay in the Infinite Company, I'll do anything! But... um, boss, I heard from the director... Aren't you... a scavenger? What about this logistics department?"

"Hey! What is a scavenger? Isn't it to clear obstacles and deal with aftermath for other departments? Uh, isn't it, aftermath, aftermath?! It's all miscellaneous work, isn't it the logistics department? It's just that I don't have so many rules and regulations here, and the office hours are relatively flexible. I don't have to punch in or anything, so it's not that busy. But it's hard to say what my work is now. I guess it won't be very popular in the future, so I have to tell you first, you have to be mentally prepared, there may be a lot of things like what happened just now in the future. If you follow me, you may have to do the same in the future, you have to think about it, don't rush to answer."

Zhao Xuan lowered his head and thought about it. What Han Zu said should be the interrogation of the "Night Owl" member. As an engineer, Zhao Xuan basically had not seen any injured people. He only saw them occasionally when he went to the medical department to repair equipment, not to mention torture and interrogation. Besides, the chairman's subordinates did not have many departments that needed to be interrogated, but I heard that there were quite a few on the board of directors. Thinking that he might have to torture others in the future, Zhao Xuan fell silent, struggling whether to officially join Han Zu's work.

"Go on. What about her? She seems normal, but she doesn't talk much."

The woman sat behind Han Zu. She didn't say a word during the entire conversation, including during the meal. She was very quiet.

"Her name is Su Qing. She has a different path from Zhao Xuan. She graduated from a prestigious university and studied law. She originally planned to become a criminal police officer after graduation. I don't know why she changed her mind during the campus recruitment before graduation and joined Infinite Company. She went directly to the operations department of the headquarters. She was promoted three months ago. Now she is a team leader in the operations department, specializing in handling some tricky gray operations."

"but?"

"Su Qing only cares about efficiency and is not good at talking. When it comes to missions, she doesn't care about anyone's feelings. Although she can complete any mission assigned to her as quickly as possible, the team's casualty rate is often very high, and the methods used in the missions are often the most dangerous. Soon, basically no one is willing to work with her. Don't forget, she is a member of the Gray Action Team."

"Gray Operation? I thought the chairman really didn't have any scavengers under his command."

"Alas! Gray operations are different from yours. They are called gray operations, but most of them are small operations such as information recovery and personnel recovery. They won't cause much trouble. Yours is not gray, it's completely black."

"I am over-flattered!"

"... Let's talk about Su Qing. As I said before, Su Qing puts efficiency first in everything he does. So after completing almost all information recovery tasks, Su Qing will mercilessly kill the relevant personnel, even if a battle breaks out as a result."

"You did the right thing. For three people to keep a secret, two of them have to die. From this point of view, I think Su Qing did nothing wrong. But I guess this is not the reason why she was excluded by the Operations Department."

"You are wrong about this. Although not many people are willing to work with her, Su Qing's popularity in the Operations Department is not bad at all. She has not been excluded in the Operations Department. Although her methods of action are a bit extreme, as you said, this does prevent the leakage of information. There has never been any problem in the cases Su Qing is responsible for. Didn't you just say that the casualty rate of Su Qing's missions is very high? It was other people who died. No one of our own people died under Su Qing's command. And unlike ordinary people, she is always at the forefront of the battle, and as long as the situation allows, or the target has been achieved, she will always bring everyone back alive."

"Then why is she thinking of changing departments? I heard that the benefits of the Operations Department are very good."

"You'll have to ask her yourself. She submitted the transfer plan herself. As for the specific reason why she wants to come to you, I guess no one knows the details except her."

"Okay then, Su Qing, right? It's still the same as what I said to Zhao Xuan. Here..."

"I'm in, Mr. Gamma."

It seemed that Su Qing had thought about it a long time ago. Before Han Zu finished speaking, Su Qing had already decided that he would work under Han Zu and said it out loud.

"Okay, it's really efficient. What about you? What do you think?"

Nodding at Su Qing, Han Zu turned to look at Zhao Xuan who was thinking. Su Qing's quick answer seemed to strengthen Zhao Xuan's determination, and he also nodded solemnly to Han Zu.

"Look, it's going well! Now this non-existent γ department has its second and third members. It can be considered the prototype of the department."

"Okay, I'll submit their files later and it will probably be done soon."

"How come the information from two different departments got to you so quickly?"

"Zhao Xuan's information was sent to me by the Engineering Department before he was sent to me. The formalities had already been completed. It was obvious that the Engineering Department wanted to send this disaster away. As for Su Qing, she processed the file herself and brought it here directly."

"That's settled then. Is there anything else you need my help with? If not, I'm ready to leave. I'll just take them with me to train them."

"Are you leaving so soon?"

"Well, this is a big deal, so the sooner you get it done, the better to avoid more trouble later."

"Would you like to get some equipment from me? It might be useful."

"Forget it. We still need to go through the formalities and approvals, which will waste time. Besides, I have a new engineer here. I can just let him perform on the spot when the time comes. Zhao Xuan, do you have confidence?!"

"no problem!"

"Okay then, do you want to report your information?"

"No, if necessary, I will call the chairman myself. The fewer people who know about it, the smoother our operation will go. I believe that you are not the only traitor."

After a few more words, Han Zu sent the person in charge off the plane. His guards were already waiting at the bottom of the gangway. After a brief farewell, the person in charge left the hangar and Han Zu returned to the plane. After the cabin door was closed, Han Zu used the private plane's intelligent system to control the plane out of the hangar and onto the secondary lifting platform. As the lifting platform started to operate, the private plane was quickly sent to the ground.

"The plane will take off soon and fly directly to Q City. The energy system of the private plane has been remodeled by the Research Department. It is powerful enough to fly across continents. If you have anything to do, it's best to go now. You don't have to stop during the journey."

"I have nothing else to do."

"Me too, boss."

"Then let's go."

It is said that only the energy engine was modified, but in fact, the Research Department has made a thorough modification to Han Zu's private jet. For example, this private jet now has an additional vertical take-off and landing function.

The plane rose steadily to a high altitude, then quickly changed the thrust direction, and after passing through the clouds, it began to accelerate. The powerful thrusters accelerated the plane to the flight speed of a fighter in a very short time, but the interior of the plane was very stable and there was no feeling of discomfort at all.

During the voyage, Han Zu started a conversation with his two new employees.

"Do you know me?"

"Um... I heard some rumors about you during the meeting in the engineering department, but I don't know if they are accurate, so I don't know much."

"No need to be so polite, call me Han Zu, and just call me by my name from now on."

"Okay old...Mr. Han."

"What about you, Su Qing? Since you sorted out all the archival materials yourself, you must know me to some extent."

"I have contacts in the Ministry of Information, Mr. Gamma."

"Do you have any abilities gained from the Infinite City? The waters in Q City are not shallow. We don't have any support this time. After all, even our department does not exist in the archives, let alone action."

"Yes, but they are all engineering abilities. For example, I can mechanize anything and then modify it. However, mechanized things are only slightly stronger than the raw materials. They are fine for emergency use. Also, I can double the damage caused by friendly explosives and incendiary effects, and speed up the speed of corrosive effects. As for my own conditions, I do know a little about engineering."

"Yeah! Not bad, it's OK!"

"Read the memory of the target who just died and mark the weak points. My marksmanship and fighting skills are both pretty good."

"Not bad, very suitable for some more radical actions."

“Didi di di di di!!!”

Han Zu, who was in conversation, was attracted by the screen that suddenly lit up. It seemed that someone was using the expedited communication channel.

"Why are you so anxious?"

The person on the other side of the screen was a woman Han Zu had never seen before, but her voice was very familiar. Han Zu remembered that during the first operation to bring the two target persons back, the person in charge who contacted Han Zu at that time seemed to have been this voice.

"The Information Department has received some latest news about Q City, and the chairman asked me to pass the news to you."

Han Zu was about to say something, but the person on the other side of the screen interrupted him first.

"I know what you mean. It was the person in charge of the base's outer security who passed the news to the chairman. The person in charge of the base did not tell anyone about this. Well, this new information about Q City is very important."

"OK, I'm listening."
