Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Infinite Company outpost, the abandoned factory location where the original anomaly anchor was located.

"Throw him into the vacant power reactor. Everyone, put on protective clothing and don't get burned by the overflowing energy radiation. Although this guy's energy has been drained by more than half, it's still above the threshold."

"Ok."

Next to the energy device group at the outpost, the mysterious woman grabbed Han Zu's leg and threw him to the ground. She was a little tired from using her own energy to teleport people and resist the occasional energy bursts from Han Zu. She sat down on the ground and took a few breaths before waving to the company employees who were around and asking them to throw Han Zu, whose energy was still abnormal, into the vacant power reactor next to them. On the one hand, they could use the overflow energy from Han Zu as energy to speed up the construction of the outpost, and on the other hand, they could use the energy device connected to the power reactor to absorb the overflow energy from Han Zu and let him return to normal faster.

"*#￥&..."

Due to the "barrel explosion" he just experienced, Han Zu was temporarily unable to control the conversion of energy very well. When he was teleported by this mysterious woman just now, Han Zu, who touched the energy flow of other dimensions, uncontrollably absorbed a lot of energy again, causing Han Zu to go from being able to communicate just now to an abnormal state like having a high fever. What he said in his mouth, let alone others, he probably didn't even know what it was.

"Just throw it in. He's thick-skinned, it doesn't matter."

"Well then..."

"Dangdang!"

Five or six employees of Infinite Company lifted Han Zu up after putting on protective clothing. However, this unused power reactor was usually connected to the energy pipeline from the bottom, but the opening was very small, and even Han Zu's arm could not be inserted. If they wanted to put Han Zu into the power reactor, they could only open the maintenance cover above the power reactor and throw him in. However, those employees were a little conflicted. Although this guy looked very burly, he was one of their own after all. It didn't seem good to treat him so roughly. However, the mysterious woman saw the employees' concerns and said a few words to let the employees not have any psychological burden. So, the employees who were carrying Han Zu threw Han Zu up. When Han Zu fell headfirst into the power reactor, there was a loud noise.

"this..."

"It's okay, go and do other things."

"OK then."

After letting other employees go about their work, the mysterious woman sat up from the ground and came to the control console next to the unused power reactor. She first calculated the overflowing energy readings on Han Zu and set the power reactor's power. Then she opened the safety lock on the console, took out the energy pipeline for connection, and connected it to the unused power reactor where Han Zu was. Then she squatted in front of the observation window of the power reactor where she could see Han Zu.

"Are you okay? If nothing else, I'll start the power reactor."

“*@#&%.…”

"..Can you speak human language...?"

Han Zu, who was upside down, muttered a few words, but it was completely inaudible. So after being complained, Han Zu twisted forward a few times like a worm, lay in the power furnace, slowly moved one hand to the observation window of the power furnace, and gave a thumbs up. After seeing Han Zu's reply, the mysterious woman stood up again, returned to the console, and started the power furnace. With the power furnace shut down, the power furnace officially started to operate. Soon, the energy readings increased rapidly, and other equipment connected to the power furnace also had enough energy to start.

“Yeah…”

Han Zu in the power reactor had his excess energy gradually absorbed, which made him feel much more comfortable. He couldn't help but hum. The mysterious woman who heard Han Zu's voice breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her choice was right. She snapped her fingers, and the coat she had worn before appeared in her hands. She spread the coat on the ground next to the power reactor observation window. The mysterious woman sat down, leaned against the power reactor, closed her eyes, and planned to rest for a while.

Some time later, at another location of the outpost camp.

"Hmm... Tempura..."

In a bright room, Chizuru lay on the ground, sucking her fingers and having a sweet dream. She dreamed that she was eating in an unknown gourmet restaurant, surrounded by all kinds of delicious food, and no one else was competing with her for the food.

"Hmm... roasted lamb leg..."

Qianhe suddenly saw a fragrant roasted leg of lamb next to her, cooked to perfection. Qianhe couldn't help but drool. She licked her lips, picked up the roasted leg of lamb, and took a bite.

"what!"

"Snapped!"

Before she could taste the flavor of the roasted lamb leg, Chizuru was suddenly slapped in the face and woke up abruptly. She then realized that she was dreaming. When she looked up, she found Yukiko looking at her angrily. When she lowered her head, she realized that what she was biting in her mouth was Yukiko's thigh.

"Oh sorry Yukiko, I just dreamed of having a feast."

"Hiss...it's okay, it's okay..."

Rubbing the teeth marks on her thigh, Yukiko also sat up from the ground. Just as she was about to check on Saki's condition and wake up Saki who was also lying on the ground, Yukiko realized that the original clothes and weapons and equipment on the three of them were gone, and replaced by a thin robe like the one worn during surgery. This was why Chizuru was able to bite her thigh directly just now.

"What is this place? Why are we dressed like this?"

The three of them stood up from the ground and looked around. They were now in a bright room. There was nothing in the room. The walls were made of smooth white metal, which felt warm to the touch. On one of the walls, there was a one-way glass, so they couldn't see outside. On the wall opposite the one-way glass, there was a metal door that looked very high-tech and very sturdy. There was no lighting equipment inside the room, but the whole room was very bright, and the light was not dazzling. Both the temperature and the light were very comfortable.

The floor was made of a kind of crash barrier similar to that of a mental hospital. It was not known whether this was laid on the original floor or whether it was the floor itself. The three barefoot people felt neither cold nor hard when they stepped on this floor. If furniture was placed in this room, it would immediately become a perfect residence.

However, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The three of them recalled that their last memory was meeting a mysterious woman in the ruins of a military base, the same woman they had seen outside the jewelry store before. Then the woman snapped her fingers and they lost consciousness. When they regained consciousness, they were already in this room.

"How about it?"

In response to Yukiko's question, Saki walked to the wall, touched the metal wall, and shook her head. This white metal that emitted warmth was very strong, and the three of them could not destroy it.

"There are some needle holes on my body left by the syringe. Can you check your own body to see if there are any?"

Chizuru has a very fair complexion, so when she was searching for information in the room, she accidentally discovered some tiny red spots on her body. After careful observation, she found that there were needle marks left by syringes on her body, so she immediately spoke out to remind Yukiko and Saki, and after checking, the two found that there were also many needle marks on their bodies.

"Do you feel anything unusual in your body? Or are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"That's not the case, but I don't know why the scars on our bodies where the parasites were removed disappeared after recovery."

"Not only that, the scars on our bodies that were left a long time ago have also disappeared. Could it be that someone treated us?"

As members of the assassination team, the three of them had some scars or old injuries, but now all of them disappeared, or were healed. However, the more this happened, the more they felt uneasy. In their minds, there was no such thing as a kind-hearted person who only liked to do good things. They estimated that they would soon be used.

Chizuru turned her back to Yukiko and Saki, and her expression was a little anxious. The three people's original clothes and weapons were gone. For Chizuru, her most important pendant was also missing, which was what she cared about most now. She wanted to get the pendant back. However, although she wanted to act impulsively emotionally, her reason told Chizuru that this was not the right choice. They suddenly lost consciousness and appeared in this unknown room, completely unaware of the situation. The wisest thing to do now was to calm down and find a way to leave the room with Yukiko and Saki.

"Chizuru?"

"It's okay. I've checked the metal door. There's no way to open it from the inside. We should look for other ways. How about the one-way glass?"

"I gonna go see."

Yukiko walked to the one-way glass, placed her hand on it, and tried to generate some black fog to create a shadow on the one-way glass so as to observe the situation outside. Fortunately, the black fog was generated smoothly and there was no problem with her ability. Using the shadow area created by the black fog on the one-way glass, Yukiko successfully saw the situation outside the one-way glass.

"How is it? What's the situation outside?"

Seeing Yukiko frown, Chizuru and Saki also walked over and surrounded Yukiko.

"Not good. It looks like a makeshift laboratory outside. There are many people wearing lab suits. They seem to be testing some samples. They look like blood samples. Judging from the pinholes on our bodies, those blood samples were probably extracted from us."

"Any other information?"

"There are quite a few fully armed guards in the temporary laboratory. Judging from the special armor they are wearing, they don't seem to be members of the Night Owl organization, nor are they rebels. Many of their weapons seem to be energy weapons. I have never seen them before. Everything looks very high-tech and doesn't seem like something that would appear in Q City."

"If we use your shadow ability to leave this place through the one-way glass, can we avoid the soldiers in the laboratory?"

"It should be fine, but I'm not sure. But we can give it a try. I don't think this place is a place where we can stay for a long time."

After determining the route, Yukiko began to use her ability to control shadows to create a shadow beast. She planned to use the shadow beast to swallow herself, Chizuru, and Saki, and then leave the room through the one-way glass. She did it as soon as she said it. After controlling the shadow beast to swallow the three of them, Yukiko immediately shrunk the shadow beast to the smallest shape she could control, and through the one-way glass, she slowly left the empty room and came to the temporary laboratory outside.

The room they were in before didn't seem to have any monitoring equipment or alarm system. Until the three of them left the temporary laboratory under the cover of the shadow beast, they didn't attract any guards or trigger any alarms. The three of them carefully avoided the guards around them while observing the surrounding situation.

Outside this temporary laboratory is a camp that was converted into an outpost based on an abandoned factory. There are quite a few people inside the camp, but most of them are soldiers on guard and people who look like employees of some company. There are also quite a few researchers in protective clothing, but overall they are not as many as the other two types.
