Fantasy Game: Infinite City

20 minutes later, outside the barracks wall of a "Night Owl" organization.

"call..."

A vague gray mist, in the shadow of the corner of the wall, re-formed Han Zu's appearance. He looked down at his naked body, and some gray mist emerged on his skin again. The strange armor appeared on his body again, but the color seemed to have become a lot darker. Now if it was only moonlight, the armor would no longer reflect light.

This strange armor has been reconstructed by Han Zu's current strength. Although its sturdiness has not changed and it will be melted when Han Zu uses certain powers, this armor has now become a part of Han Zu's body and can be restored at any time. Although there is no significant improvement in defense, it can be regarded as a fixed costume, saving Han Zu the embarrassment of being naked in the "first level relaxation" state due to battle.

"Hmm... maybe I can get some other clothes later when I have time."

Muttering something, Han Zu turned around and began to use his perception and perspective abilities to investigate the distribution of personnel in the barracks. The barracks were large, and the soldiers inside seemed to be much more serious and responsible than those guarding other checkpoints or temporary outposts. No soldier was deserting or slacking off, and they were all doing their jobs conscientiously.

There were approximately three to four hundred people in the barracks. Not only was the number of people greater than the outposts and checkpoints Han Zu had visited before, but the energy response of each soldier was much higher than that of the ordinary "Night Owl" soldiers he had encountered before.

"Even some small outposts may have armored vehicles such as tanks. It's strange that such a large barracks doesn't even have an armored vehicle."

Han Zu was right. During the time he was in Q City, he had been to at least 20 checkpoints. Most of the martial law facilities such as checkpoints and checkpoints had more or less armored vehicles, mostly armored vehicles and a common light tank. Although it could not be said that there were tanks in every facility, it was indeed strange that there was not a single tank in such a large barracks, not to mention armored vehicles.

However, Han Zu's current goal is to help the mysterious woman repair and stabilize the transmission anchor point, so the first target equipment is a high-power generator or tank engine. The barracks in front of him do not have these two things, so Han Zu does not plan to continue wasting time here.

"Ok?"

"when!"

Han Zu sensed something was coming at him at high speed, and with a wave of his hand, something was blown away. Judging from the friction sound, it was probably a large-caliber bullet. But the strange thing was that Han Zu neither heard the sound of weapons firing nor sensed anyone attacking him.

"Are they here to attack this barracks?"

Han Zu didn't intend to waste time and didn't plan to delve into the matter, so he changed direction and turned around to leave. However, before Han Zu took a few steps, he used his perception ability to lock onto something that was attacking him at high speed.

"Ding!"

"Dang! Dang!"

Waving his arms, Han Zu once again fought off several inexplicable attacks. This time, he deflected three attacks, two of which were from the same large-caliber bullets. The difference was that this time, there was an arrow on the ground next to him that was broken by the impact.

Han Zu raised one hand and shook it towards the surrounding environment, as if to say that he had nothing to do with the barracks. It seemed that he did not intend to waste time and continued to move forward, preparing to transform into soul-grabbing miasma and leave quickly.

"Crack!"

However, before Han Zu was completely vaporized, he reached out his hand again and grabbed an arrow that was shot at his forehead. It seemed that the attackers were not targeting the barracks, but himself.

"It's so troublesome, this place is really..."

"Bah!"

"Dang! Dang!"

"Ding-dong! Ding!"

The people who attacked him, perhaps seeing the soul-grabbing miasma emanating from Han Zu, thought that he might try to escape, so they increased the frequency of their attacks. As the frequency of the attacks gradually increased, Han Zu's hand movements also became faster.

"Whether it's the source or direction of the attack, the sound, the energy fluctuations, or the life signals, I can't sense them. Interesting."

Although these attacks could not break Han Zu's defense, and their speed was not very fast, Han Zu, who was not known for his speed, was able to accurately deflect these attacks. However, this method of attack that would not expose his position at all aroused Han Zu's interest. After briefly thinking about what might happen, Han Zu decided to find these enemies who were ambushing him.

"Ding!"

"Ding Dong!"

The frequent attacks made the sound of metal friction gradually increase. In order not to alert the soldiers in the nearby barracks, Han Zu accurately parried the attacks of unknown origin while distancing himself from the barracks.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Ding! Ding!"

As Han Zu left the barracks' security area, he could clearly feel that the frequency and force of the attacks had increased again. It seemed that the people who attacked him did not want to arouse the barracks' attention.

"Okay, the next step is to find the attacker's location."

The people who attacked Han Zu must have used some special abilities. Even the large-caliber bullets and arrows they fired only suddenly appeared within Han Zu's perception range when they were almost reaching Han Zu. So Han Zu decided to think of a way to cause confusion with this unique ability.

While fending off the continuous attacks, Han Zu steadily moved towards a nearby forest. After a few minutes, Han Zu successfully entered the dense forest area. The opponent's attack also stopped temporarily.

"The disadvantage of long-range sneak attacks is that once you lose the opponent's field of vision and there are obstacles, it will be difficult to be effective..."

"Buzz~~!"

Just as Han Zu entered the forest area and was complaining, within his perception range, multiple fluctuations of life energy appeared very close to him. Although these fluctuations of life energy were very weak, judging from the direction they appeared and the route they moved, these energy fluctuations should be from enemies that used their abilities to disguise their own signals.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

In a flash, before even a human figure appeared, there were several sounds of air being cut around Han Zu. This time the attack was very fast. Han Zu had no time to parry. He could only quickly raise his arms and defend on the spot against the sudden multiple attacks.

For a while, the sound of metal friction was endless, and the coordination between these attacks was seamless. Han Zu fell into a passive position for a while.

"Click!"

“Crack! Bang!”

Suddenly, the sharp claws on the left hand guard of the armor Han Zu was wearing caught a slender grooved long sword. Han Zu immediately seized the opportunity, gathered his fingers, and held the long sword tightly. He used the armor on his body to resist other attacks, and clenched his right fist to punch at the handle of the long sword.

The attack was not successful. The feeling from his fist let Han Zu know that he did not succeed in attacking any enemy. However, the shock wave generated by the punch did break the long sword he was holding into several pieces and it fell to the ground.

The attack paused for a second or two. It should be the shock wave generated by Han Zu's punch just now that temporarily repelled the others. However, Han Zu did not gain nothing. After experiencing the attack just now, Han Zu had already identified who the enemies within his perception range were. In this way, even if these enemies were incredibly fast, Han Zu could use his perception ability to prepare for defense in advance.

"Click!"

"boom!"

As he became more familiar with the frequency and patterns of the enemy's attacks, Han Zu quickly seized opportunity after opportunity amid the sound of metal friction and collision, and gradually changed from a passive defensive posture to a back-and-forth with the opponent. After several rounds of attacks, many weapon fragments appeared on the ground. After the sound of the last weapon fragments falling to the ground, the continuous attacks on Han Zu also stopped. The increasingly loud life signals appearing within the perception range seemed to indicate that the enemies besieging him were too tired to maintain that state of being unable to perceive due to the continuous attacks.

On the other hand, Han Zu was in very good condition. Even though he had been under siege for a long time, those attacks actually failed to penetrate his armor. Of course, even if they penetrated his armor, they might not cause any harm to Han Zu.

Within the range of perception, those life energy fluctuations that were gradually no longer able to disguise themselves were returning to normal size. Han Zu was also ready to end things with them. Just as he was about to lock onto the positions of those life fluctuations and deal with them one by one, a very obvious life fluctuation appeared within Han Zu's perception range, and the distance was very close, just a dozen meters in front of him.

Han Zu raised his head. In the originally deserted forest area, a guy wearing a nano-armored combat suit suddenly appeared. The guy was about the same height as himself, over two meters and five. He carried a large-caliber live ammunition weapon of unknown model on his back and wore an integrated combat helmet on his head, so his appearance could not be seen.

The nano-armor combat suit this guy was wearing produced ripples on its surface, and within just one breath, the overall color changed.

Han Zu used his ability of perspective to try to see the true appearance of the enemy, but was unsuccessful. The nano armor worn by the enemy seemed to have a special energy field that could block his ability of perspective.

The enemy on the opposite side untied the weapon strap and threw the large-caliber live ammunition weapon on his back to the side. Another person wearing nano armor suddenly appeared beside him, took his weapon and walked aside.

"If you find that you can't easily defeat the enemy, the wisest approach should be to evacuate first, continue to investigate relevant information, and find the enemy's weaknesses, rather than letting your men form a circle and then fight the enemy one-on-one."

Han Zu looked at the enemy who was ready to fight, and couldn't help but speak up and remind him. However, because of the strange armor he was wearing, as well as the helmet and veil he was wearing, Han Zu's voice couldn't be heard very well, so others couldn't hear what he was saying at all. Han Zu's voice now sounded like the whisper of a devil, dull and vague.

But Han Zu was not aware of this, because he was not wearing a helmet when he was talking with the mysterious woman before. And when he just appeared outside the wall of the barracks and had not yet covered himself with armor, the people around him did not notice him. So he was unaware that he had been mistaken for the real monster in the rumors.

"A real monster?... Then let me see if you are as exaggerated as the rumors say."

On the other hand, the voices of the enemies on the other side seemed quite normal. Although there were a lot of mechanical and electronic noises, the human voices could still be heard clearly. In addition, the nano armor, which was obviously a high-tech product, also made the difference in the sound more reasonable. At least that was the case under normal circumstances.

The enemy opposite, who was wearing a nano-armored combat suit, swung his arm, and a large number of nano-ripples gathered towards his hand. A long stick that occasionally burst out electric sparks appeared in his hand. Judging from the first impression, this weapon should be able to release powerful electric current as the main means of attack.

"I haven't tried it yet, but this is a good opportunity to see how my physique reacts to lightning resistance."

Han Zu's left gauntlet with sharp claws created some sparks on his breastplate, making some harsh metal friction sounds. His "devil's whispers" became unrecognizable due to the influence of his helmet and veil, and were seen as a contemptuous mockery by the enemies in front of him.

"Then let's see if you really have the ability!"

"Buzz~~" In a flash, one end of the long stick carrying a strong electric current cut through the air and hit Han Zu's head. Han Zu took a small step back with his right foot, stood firm, and accurately deflected the attack with his left hand from bottom to top.

"Crack! Buzz~~!"

Although the long stick was bounced away, the electric ball flying out from the end hit Han Zu's body solidly. Because the initial attack was blocked, the electric ball deviated from its original position and hit not Han Zu's head, but his arm.

“Sizzle…Sizzle…”

After the electric ball hit, Han Zu's body was temporarily paralyzed for a second or two. The lightning chain generated by the explosion of the electric ball pushed Han Zu's body back several steps.

“It is effective, but within the acceptable range.”

"Om~~"

The next attack followed, and this time, due to a bad positioning, Han Zu failed to successfully block the attack and was once again knocked back a few steps. Seeing the enemy attacking again, Han Zu suddenly became interested. He was not going to end the battle quickly, but to use this opportunity to practice how to deal with agile enemies.

After taking a beating from the electric energy, Han Zu was ready and locked his eyes on the enemy opposite him. At the same time, the opponent's attack was about to fall on Han Zu again.

"boom!"

"Pong!"

This time, Han Zu did not dodge but advanced instead, entering the enemy's attack range in advance, and at the same time swung his right hand from his chest to the side. He grasped the timing very well. With a crisp sound, Han Zu successfully deflected the opponent's attack, and the opponent was stunned for a moment.

However, because he had not fully adapted to the opponent's speed, Han Zu was unable to successfully counterattack the enemy during the enemy's stiffness period.

Although I missed an opportunity, practice makes perfect, and my idea does not seem to be wrong.

"boom!"

"Dang Dang!"

"Ding~~"

"Ping!!"

As he gradually became familiar with the enemy's offensive tactics, Han Zu once again successfully deflected his opponent's attack and successfully counterattacked. However, he did not grasp the timing well, and the enemy blocked his counterattack without causing any damage.

However, Han Zu was not discouraged, nor was he prepared to use stronger abilities to resolve the battle. He found a way to make up for his speed shortcoming and would not give it up easily. As the battle progressed, Han Zu gradually understood the enemy's attack moves and routines, and was fully prepared, just waiting for the right moment. Han Zu accumulated strength, and a soul-grabbing miasma with increasing heat was rapidly generated in Han Zu's body.

Finally, after an attack, Han Zu seized the opportunity to be stabbed by the enemy's long stick. Han Zu grabbed one end of the long stick and pulled it towards his own position. The enemy holding the weapon was also brought over. Han Zu's other hand also stretched out and grabbed the opponent's neck. The moment his palm touched the nano-armor combat suit, Han Zu released the soul-grabbing miasma that had moved to the palm position, and a large amount of gray mist mixed with deadly high temperature gushed out. This double attack combination, which also came from the Gift of Death, had an excellent effect.

"Boom!"

The enemy that was hit by Han Zu's counterattack, after being invaded by the soul-grabbing miasma, immediately began to spontaneously combust from the inside. The temperature was so high and the speed was so fast that the enemy was burned from the inside into an empty shell in an instant, leaving only the skin and the outer nano armor. The nano armor combat suit also lost its power due to the loss of its internal members and entered a dormant state.

Han Zu would not give the other enemies around him a chance to escape. Before the others could react, the leader in the nano armor had been killed. Han Zu quickly exploded his body, and the soul-grabbing miasma that gushed out spread to the largest range, immediately enveloping all the enemies around him. In a flash, Han Zu's body recovered in the center of the enemies, and those enemies also fell to the ground. Although the nano armor outside maintained his human form, the inside had already turned into a pile of ashes.

"Defense and counterattack are really useful at any time."
