Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 223 Solved 1 and a half

A few minutes ago, outside the jewelry store.

There were many soldiers from the "Night Owl" organization gathered here. There were nearly a hundred fully armed infantrymen alone, as well as several armored vehicles and three light tanks. These soldiers were not originally responsible for guarding this area. There were even several teams of soldiers who were not even responsible for guarding this city. However, they suddenly received a message from above, asking them to enter this city immediately and assist two middle-level "Night Owl" elites to go to the jewelry store to recover something.

"The first team has been down for such a long time, but there is no news. The two elite mid-level soldiers and their men have been down for several minutes, so why is there still no movement?"

"Why do you care so much? We are here to assist, or to put it bluntly, to be farmhands. Do you still want to rush to work? Have you become a soldier and become stupid?"

Some soldiers were whispering. To be honest, although the orders had been given from above, it was actually impossible for these soldiers to know what they were specifically here to do. Most of them knew it in their hearts.

However, just as the soldiers were chatting, the sound of fighting was heard at the entrance of the secret passage in the jewelry store. However, this did not arouse the curiosity of the soldiers. After all, according to their understanding, although they were not familiar with the two elite middle-level soldiers, they must be very capable to be able to sit in the middle-level positions.

"boom!"

However, a loud noise was heard soon, which attracted the attention of the soldiers. Several soldiers guarding the entrance to the secret passage hurriedly opened the entrance to check, only to find that something had blocked the vertical shaft below the entrance to the secret passage.

"What's going on?"

"Maybe the elites in the middle are doing something. I heard that many of them have some kind of superhuman abilities. Maybe the enemies below are a bit tricky, so they are having a great time fighting them."

"Why is it so hot all of a sudden?"

"Look, the thing blocking the shaft below seems to have melted!"

Several soldiers near the entrance suddenly felt a scorching air flow blowing up from the bottom of the shaft. The temperature was so high that they even had to throw away their helmets. Someone looked down the shaft and found that the obstacle blocking the shaft suddenly melted into a big hole in the middle, and more heat waves surged up. In order to prevent accidents, the soldiers surrounding the entrance to the secret passage left there and stepped back a few steps.

Time returns to the present.

A gray mist suddenly surged out from the vertical shaft below the secret passage and quickly spread to the entire jewelry store, blocking the view from outside.

"What's going on? Hey! The ones inside! How are you guys?!"

The fog stopped emerging, but at the same time, the jewelry store filled with gray fog also became quiet. The few soldiers who had stayed in the store did not respond to the calls of their comrades outside the store.

“Swish!!”

"I'll ask again! How are you?! Also, are the two middle-level masters back?! Reply quickly! Otherwise we will have to take necessary measures!"

Some soldiers outside the jewelry store raised their guns in unison, and with the help of armored vehicles and tanks, aimed at the jewelry store. One of the team leaders shouted again, but still received no response.

"put!"

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

“Da da da da!!!”

At the command, a hail of bullets instantly engulfed the gray fog inside the jewelry store, turning all the items and decorations in the store into scrap. Even the walls became riddled with holes and looked shaky.

"Ceasefire!"

After several small leaders ordered a ceasefire, they each sent out a few soldiers. They walked out from behind the armored vehicles and tanks that were used as cover, raised their weapons, pointed their guns at each other, and slowly walked to the door of the jewelry store.

The jewelry store had been completely destroyed and the glass door had been smashed into pieces, leaving a pile of broken glass. When the soldiers were about to enter the jewelry store, their military leather boots would inevitably step on the broken glass, causing a squeaking sound.

"Whoo~~~"

However, before they walked into the gray fog, the strange mist quickly shrank inwards and soon disappeared from the jewelry store. Looking around, there was only a very strange-looking armor on the messy ground, and a thick layer of dust on the ground. The soldiers who had been guarding the jewelry store before suddenly disappeared without knowing where they had gone.

"What it is?!"

"It looks like a suit of... armor?"

The sudden strange scene made the soldiers in the front nervous, but they did not dare to act rashly. After all, they were not sure whether the armor was made by the two elite middle-level soldiers or something else. Just as they were hesitating about how to act, the armor suddenly moved, making heavy footsteps and walked towards the door of the jewelry store.

“Boom…Boom…”

"No! That's the thing in the rumors! Fire! Fire!!!"

One of the soldiers recognized the appearance of the armor, and while shouting to warn his comrades around him, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. A series of bullets were fired fiercely at the armor. The bullets hit the armor, making a continuous ping-pong sound. The sparks produced by the ricochet briefly illuminated the appearance of the armor, but because the refraction position of the bullets was not consistent, this flickering light made the armor even more eerie in the dark.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

They fired and retreated at the same time. After the first few soldiers withdrew back to the main group, they fired another volley at the suit of armor. However, the suit of armor seemed to not care at all and continued to move forward under the hail of bullets.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a shell hit the center of the armor accurately. It was the tank next to it that opened fire. The tank's shell successfully shattered the strange armor into pieces, turning it into metal fragments on the ground. After passing through the armor, the shell shot into the opposite wall and exploded.

"boom!!"

The exploding shells destroyed the wall behind the jewelry store, revealing the alley behind it. Another team of soldiers who were originally guarding the alley were blown away by the sudden shock wave, but fortunately they were not very close to the wall at the end of the alley, so they did not actually suffer any serious injuries, just some scratches.

"Cease fire! Cease fire! We are one people!!"

The soldiers on the other side shouted for a ceasefire, but the shouts were much quieter in the hail of bullets. The troops at the front door of the jewelry store continued to attack, and the other team of soldiers outside the alley could only temporarily avoid the friendly fire and wait for the attack to end.

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?! Have you forgotten that there are people behind you?! You are so stupid to want... What the hell is that?!!!!"

When this round of friendly fire stopped, the troops near the alley immediately called out to their companions outside the main entrance of the jewelry store, but they also saw a strange gray fog rapidly spreading around.

"Flamer!!"

Soldiers from both sides shouted at the same time. A team of soldiers near the alley, all carrying flamethrowers, pushed to the front of the team and began to attack the gray mist with the flamethrowers in their hands. One of the tanks at the main entrance of the jewelry store turned its turret and aimed its secondary gun barrel at the interior of the jewelry store, also spraying flames.

Several horrifying tongues of fire instantly engulfed the entire jewelry store, soon burning the building to only a pitch-black frame. The personnel from both sides then stopped the attack, surrounded the ruins of the jewelry store, and checked the situation inside.

"The location of the secret passage has not been destroyed. We should go down and take a look. Get ready. Team three! Team five, step out! Get ready to go down!"

"Huh~!!"

However, just as people gathered, the strange gray fog once again engulfed the entire jewelry store, swallowing most of the soldiers. After just a few seconds, the fog dissipated, and the strange armor instantly recovered and reappeared in its original position. The soldiers who were swallowed by the fog also disappeared again, but there was a five-centimeter-thick layer of dust on the ground near the armor.

"Damn it! Are we seeing a ghost? Everyone, concentrate your firepower and completely destroy this damn thing!!!"

However, before the remaining soldiers could open fire, the armor exploded on its own, and a large amount of gray mist gushed out, first crushing the armor into pieces, and then shuttling back and forth among the remaining soldiers at an extremely fast speed, and finally condensed into another appearance. It looked like a naked, tall and strong man, but his skin was a little gray, and his eyes were emitting a strange scarlet light.

All the remaining soldiers maintained their original posture, standing motionless in the same place. Except for the crew members in the three tanks, no soldier survived.

"Hey! The enemy has revealed his true form! Hit him! What are you all standing there for?!"

The three tank crew commanders immediately shouted to the soldiers outside who were still standing still. They did not notice that the strange man had quickly approached one of the tanks. By the time they discovered him, it was too late. The man's body suddenly exploded into a thick gray mist and penetrated into one of the tanks.

"Zi~~"

"Boom! Boom!"

The turret of the tank invaded by the fog began to rotate after a few seconds. The other two tanks immediately fired at the invaded tank and destroyed it. However, the strange gray fog, using the fire and smoke produced by the explosion as cover, immediately invaded another tank. This time the two tanks fired at the same time. Although they failed to destroy each other, they paralyzed each other's vehicles.

"boom!"

"Uh-huh!!"

The hatch on the top of one of the tanks that was already on fire was roughly pushed open, and the two surviving crew members, carrying their seriously injured bodies, groaned as they climbed out with difficulty. After leaving the disabled and burning tank, they supported each other and staggered to their feet, trying to escape from this strange place. When they passed by a soldier who was standing still, they accidentally bumped into him, and the soldier's body immediately fell to the ground and turned into a pool of ashes. The two survivors then realized what had happened to the soldiers in the jewelry store before, and where the thick ashes came from. The great fear instantly devoured their sanity, and they collapsed to the ground in fear, unable to support their bodies to stand up again.

“Tread…Tread…”

The sound of bare feet on the road attracted their attention. The two terrified surviving soldiers slowly turned their heads. Sure enough, the strange man was walking towards them. He walked in front of the two survivors who were slumped on the road, squatted down, stretched out his hand and groped around their bodies. He soon found half a pack of cigarettes from one of them. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. The strange man picked up a piece of burning tank debris from the side and used it as a match to light the cigarette in his mouth.

"Ah...comfortable..."

The man stood up, exhaled a puff of smoke, turned around and walked away a few steps. Although the two survivors were controlled by fear and unable to move, the man did not kill them.

"you..."

A mysterious woman appeared beside this strange man. This man was Han Zu who had just absorbed more gifts from the realm of death. This mysterious woman had just arrived not long ago. She did not see what happened before the last two tanks opened fire on each other, so she had only a vague understanding of the current situation. However, the soldiers standing still all over the ground were definitely the work of Han Zu.

"Are you still carrying that freak?"

"Yeah, but what are you going to do?"

The woman took out the deformed fetus from the storage space and handed it to Han Zu. Han Zu took it in his hand, rubbed it twice, and then the same strange gray mist emerged from his body and wrapped the deformed fetus. After a while, the mist returned to Han Zu's body, and the deformed fetus in his hand disappeared.

Things became more and more weird, but the mysterious woman said nothing, just continued to look at Han Zu. Han Zu handed the half pack of cigarettes in his hand to the woman, and then he held the cigarette in his mouth, walked to one of the motionless soldiers, and put his hand on him.

"Gooji."

After a few strange squirming sounds, the soldier touched by Han Zu suddenly moved again. His body gradually became transparent, and soon turned into the kind of gelatinous humanoid creature that Han Zu had seen before. He stood staggeringly beside Han Zu and stopped moving.

"Shh~!"

Han Zu blew a whistle, and the gelatinous humanoid creature created by Han Zu staggered towards the remaining two survivors. When it came to their side, the two soldiers finally found their courage, took out the pistols they carried with them, and shot the gelatinous creature's swollen head with one shot.

"Pop."

“Tsk~~~”

“Uh ...

The gel creature exploded, and the liquid inside sprayed all over the faces of the two surviving soldiers. Their muscles were quickly broken down, and even their bones were not spared. After a few tragic howls, their heads turned into a pool of blood, and red and white liquid flowed all over the ground. This time they were completely dead.

"It seems that we have solved half of our task. I think I have figured out what these freak-like things are."
