Fantasy Game: Infinite City

A few hours later, we arrived at a winding mountain road that circled the sea.

The driver and Hammond stood beside the parked car on the roadside. Hammond was opening the gate to release water outside the railing facing the sea. The driver leaned on the hood and looked at the sea view. After escaping all the way and changing several cars, they completely got rid of all the pursuers. The two of them still had cigarettes in their mouths and completely relaxed.

"Huh! I've been holding it in for so long. I didn't dare go to the bathroom all the way." Hammond shuddered twice and pulled up his pants.

"You're done? Then hurry up and go. You can't completely relax until you get back. Who knows if there will be any pursuers?"

"That's right, let's go."

After the driver finished talking to Hammond, he returned to his car. Hammond was also preparing to return to his car in front, but just as he arrived in front of the car, his communicator rang. He checked the communicator and saw that it was an emergency call from Led. Hammond answered it immediately.

"Boss!"

"What the hell are you doing, Hammond? Why didn't the support team wait for you? And they were attacked?!"

"Ah? I have already met up with the reinforcements and left the city. In another half an hour, I will be able to return to the training center."

"What? Where are you now?"

"It's not far from the training center, on that winding mountain road that's surrounded by the sea. What's wrong, boss?"

Ledley's expression on the communicator darkened, and he immediately continued to question Hammond.

"How many people are there in the support team that will pick you up?"

"Just one."

"What vehicle was that person driving when you met?"

"A military jeep. Oh, and an open top one."

"You idiot! Hammond! The support team I sent had sixteen people in total, and they were driving two armored vehicles!"

"what?!"

"And let me ask you, when you were evacuating from the abandoned subway tunnel, did you fire at the armored vehicles?"

"Yes! But I thought it belonged to the enemy..."

"Idiot! Listen up, Hammond. No matter who you ran away with, kill him right now! I'll settle the score with you when you come back for attacking your own people! If you bring someone you don't know the details of to me, then you don't have to come back!"

"It's the boss!"

Hammond turned off the display screen of the communication device, but at the request of the boss Led, Hammond did not hang up the call. After putting away the communicator, Hammond took out his pistol, turned on the safety, hid the pistol behind his back, pretended nothing had happened, and walked to the driver's vehicle.

"What's wrong? Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Oh, it's okay. I ran out of cigarettes and thought I'd ask you for a few."

"Is that all? Wait, I'll get you a pack."

The driver turned his head to look at the co-pilot's seat, lowered his head to open the co-pilot's storage compartment, and was about to take out a pack of cigarettes from it and give it to Hammond. While the driver was not looking at his position, Hammond immediately took out a pistol from his back, put the muzzle to the driver's temple, and fired three or four shots. The driver didn't even make a sound, and lowered his head in death. Because of the seat belt, his body did not fall down, but hung on the seat.

"Bang! Bang!"

To be on the safe side, Hammond fired two more shots at the driver's heart, stretched out his fingers to check, and found that the driver was indeed killed, with no breathing and heartbeat. After confirming that the driver was killed by him, Hammond raised the communication device again, turned on the screen again, and aimed at the driver's body.

"It's done, boss. He's dead!"

"Okay, you return to the training center immediately. Things have changed and I need help."

"Understood. I will be back within half an hour."

After confirming that the unknown driver was dead, Layed temporarily let down his guard, briefly explained a few things, and hung up the call. Hammond put away the communication device and weapons, opened the driver's door, and prepared to drag the driver's body out of the car and throw it over the railing of the winding road near the sea.

However, just as he opened the car door and pressed the seat belt button, the driver suddenly sat up again, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Hammond's head, then walked down from the driver's seat holding his body.

Hammond was stunned for a second or two, and when he was about to struggle and fight back, the driver's other hand grabbed the other half of his head, and before Hammond could react, his body was torn in half to the left and right. Hammond died.

"Boom, boom, whoosh~~"

Hammond's body was torn into two halves and thrown to the ground. Then a raging flame instantly engulfed Hammond's body and burned him to ashes.

"Finally we know where Led is and what he looks like,"

The driver's body suddenly burst into flames violently, burning all the "Night Owl" organization soldier's uniform and bulletproof vest he was wearing. Soon the flames dissipated, and a gray mist appeared on his body, and a set of clothes reappeared on him. It turned out that the driver who came to support was Han Zu.

"The work is not yet done, and you want to run away? That won't do."

Han Zu turned around and looked at the shadow behind the vehicle, but no one responded to him, so Han Zu punched the side of the vehicle, smashing the entire vehicle into the air and sending it flying off the cliff. Not long after, a loud splash of water was heard from below the cliff. Han Zu also walked towards the location of the shadow behind the jeep.

"throat!"

A huge shadow beast suddenly appeared from under Han Zu's feet, opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and bit towards Han Zu. However, Han Zu did not move at all. A large number of tentacles suddenly shot out from various parts of his body, like a Morning Star iron ball, instantly tearing the shadow beast into pieces.

"Buzz~~Squeak!!!"

At the same time that Han Zu was dealing with the shadow beast, the engine of Hammond's vehicle behind him suddenly started and the accelerator sounded. Looking back, Han Zu discovered that Hammond's car had suddenly rushed out and instantly opened up a large distance from him.

"What's the point? If he doesn't get away, wouldn't it be even worse?"

Han Zu showed a worried and helpless expression, bent down slightly, and suddenly rose up from the ground. The huge force caused a large dent in the place where he was standing on the road. Han Zu jumped into the air at a high speed, and after reaching the highest point, his body suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of turbid gray mist, chasing after the fleeing vehicle at an extremely fast speed.

Ten minutes later.

Saki was driving the car that he had just stolen from the dead Hammond, and he stepped on the accelerator very hard, drifting and swaying on the winding mountain road. He almost crashed through the railing and fell down the mountain several times, but Saki's driving skills were good and the quality of the car was also good, so he was able to escape without any danger. Chizuru grabbed the roll cage next to the door frame with one hand and looked back through the window. Yukiko was in the passenger seat, investigating a communication device. This was Hammond's thing, which fell to the ground after he was torn in half. Yukiko quietly picked up the communication device using her shadow before he was burned to ashes.

"Did you get rid of it?"

"We should have gotten rid of them. I didn't see anyone chasing us. How's it going, Yukiko? Did you find any information?"

"Found it! When the guy was communicating just now, he mentioned a training center and said he would be able to get back in half an hour. According to the communication node left on this communication device, we should be able to reach the location of the communication center soon. It's a pity that we don't know what Led looks like. We couldn't see the screen of the communicator from that angle at our location just now."

"Do you want to resend the communication? Then we can know what Ledd looks like?"

"No, that would alert the enemy. We can only look for him on our own. The guy should have seen what Ledd looked like, but unfortunately his position is unclear and he may have bad intentions."

"Whoo~~!"

"It's not polite for you to say bad things about me behind my back!"

Chizuru, who was sitting in the back, suddenly saw a blurry gray mist rushing into the car from the open window, and in an instant it reorganized into the shape of a man, who was the driver they had just escaped from. Before the three people in the car could make any move, the man put his arm around Chizuru's waist, stretched his left hand upwards, grabbed the softness on one side of Chizuru's chest, and squeezed it twice with moderate force.

"If you don't slow down, you'll have to go swimming."

The man who was controlling Chizuru in the back seat raised his chin and looked forward. Saki and Yukiko turned around and found that they were about to rush out of the cliff and fall down.

“Squeak~~!!”

Saki, who was driving the vehicle, slammed on the brakes. The vehicle, which was traveling at high speed, slid forward a long distance and fortunately stopped steadily on the edge of the cliff. However, the railing on the edge of the cliff was not so lucky. It was hit by the car that stopped due to the sudden brakes and flew out and fell into the sea.

"You're a pretty good driver! I'm in need of a driver, would you like to apply? The salary is pretty good!"

The man in the back seat was none other than Han Zu, who had caught up with him by utilizing the high mobility of the soul-grabbing miasma. The sudden braking of the car caused the three people, except Han Zu, to suddenly lean forward. Saki and Yukiko were wearing seat belts, so they were not thrown out due to inertia, but they were still strangled by the seat belts. Although Chizuru was not wearing a seat belt, Han Zu hugged her, so Chizuru was not affected at all. As for Han Zu, the large number of tentacles that emerged from his back directly pierced the car body and nailed him firmly to the back seat. Coupled with his strong physique, Han Zu didn't even feel much.

"You...let go..."

Saki and Yukiko, who had not yet fully recovered, had just unbuckled their seat belts and were now gasping for breath in dizziness. Chizuru, who had been hugged by Han Zu to prevent the car from being thrown out of the windshield and falling off the cliff, fell on Han Zu due to inertia after the car stopped. At this time, Han Zu, who was behind her, had one arm around her waist and the other hand reached into her clothes.

"Uh-huh!!"

However, Han Zu was not being a hooligan. A sharp-tipped tentacle stretched out from his palm and pierced Qianhe's skin and muscles directly, piercing something inside Qianhe's body. Then barbs grew at the end of the tentacle, which firmly grasped that thing and pulled it out of Qianhe's body. With no mercy, he created a deep wound. Qianhe, who suddenly felt pain, could not bear it and cried out.

"Parasite?"

Han Zu withdrew his palm and observed the thing piercing the tentacles of his palm. It was a parasite, which looked like a cross between a millipede and a woodlouse. It was not very big, only three or four centimeters in size, but it had extremely tenacious vitality. Even though its body was pierced by Han Zu's tentacles, like a piece of plasticine filled with toothpicks, the parasite continued to twist its body and was still alive.

The pierced parasites had mouthparts on both ends, and they twisted wildly, trying to bite the tentacles that pierced their bodies.

"Huh? That's interesting. Come on!"

Han Zu controlled the tentacles and actively stretched them towards the mouthparts at both ends of the parasite. The parasite began to bite frantically, but the result was predictable. Just like a toy rabbit could not bite a carrot made of solid metal, the parasite had no way to deal with Han Zu's tentacles.
