Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Based on the information found on the terminal in the base, Gloria's understanding of this special location has deepened significantly.

According to the above information, these are like military forces, and basically everyone has a military background, but most of them are Europeans. The original country and troops are still unclear, but from some documents, the earliest batch of them came to this place about 20 years ago.

Although no specific details are mentioned above, it can be inferred from the words in other documents that the first batch of soldiers who entered this location were sent to this place because of an accident that occurred during the anti-terrorism operations.

After entering this place, they soon discovered that as long as they were not affected by external factors, they would not age or die. However, they would feel normal hunger and fatigue. Although they would not die even if they did not eat, drink or sleep, their instinct for survival would always make them go out to seek resources.

According to the records of these people, this strange space is related to an unknown energy. This energy always appears in the form of an energy film, and this film often appears in places that are not easy to find. Known energy detection methods cannot detect this thing, so there will always be people who accidentally touch this energy film and then be sent to this location. Everyone who enters this location will fall down, but Gloria compared it and found that the highest height of the person who fell on the ground would not exceed three meters.

The document also mentioned that there is a large water source in this place. Although the water can be drunk directly, nothing can float there except living things. So far, no one knows how big the water source is. Is it a lake or a sea? No one knows.

Through the information these people had, Gloria discovered that this special energy film was almost everywhere, and the only way to enter this special location was to touch the energy film. Although it was easy to get in, it was difficult to get out. At least from the information found so far, Gloria did not find any way to leave this special space.

However, Gloria thought that since these people had been in this space for such a long time and would not die naturally, they must have explored this place. Although they had not found a way out, there were still many files left on the terminal. Maybe they had found a way out, but she had not read the relevant files yet. Anyway, there was nothing to do now, and it was impossible to confirm that the movement in the skyscraper was caused by Han Zu. So Gloria changed her to-do list and prepared to concentrate on reading all the documents first.

By continuing to read those documents, Gloria discovered that these people did conduct a systematic carpet search of some areas after sufficient preparation. Through their search, these soldiers discovered several other forces that were different from them.

The first force is the one Gloria saw at the beginning. The forces of these soldiers simply called them scavengers, because their weapons, equipment, supplies and bases all seemed to be pieced together from a garbage station. But don't be fooled by their plain appearance. For some reason, everyone is crazy when fighting. They even dare to use the lids of garbage cans that they found from nowhere as shields and charge towards heavy machine guns. In the soldiers' investigation, they believe that these tattered garbage men may be the largest force, and they can be seen almost everywhere. However, although these people can also use various weapons, their behavior is not even human, but more like a group of hyenas. Although they will also occupy some positions as bases, they are actually more like animal nests.

Although they have the largest number of people, unlike other forces, their bases are almost not connected unless they are very close to each other. And the area of ​​activity is not too far, and they basically do not leave their bases. So they don't know what is going on here, but they are good at finding supplies. Their supply search team has never returned empty-handed.

The second force is likely to be some people who are older and have strayed into this world. During the soldiers' investigation, they found that almost all of them only use cold weapons. There may be a large number of archers and some homemade giant crossbows in the great stronghold. Although the clothes they wear are relatively modern, and some people use high-tech weapons such as explosive arrows, they basically still use tactics from the cold weapon era. In terms of combat effectiveness, these people are stronger than scavengers, but mainly they will use some tactics for ambush or sneak attack, unlike scavengers who only use human wave tactics. In the battle with them, the soldiers found that some of the extremely difficult individuals seemed to use magic-like attack methods.

Because of the long time, and the magic, the soldiers called them "elves". These guys would patrol far away from their bases, and look for old supplies or items. In their bases, they could find a lot of things, even ancient artifacts. On some artifacts, there were even magical energy reactions. But it was strange that except for this group of "elves", no one else could use the magic power on these artifacts.

The third force, these soldiers, are much more powerful than the first two forces. After all, they use modern weapons and equipment. Gloria can even guarantee that if these soldiers are brought back to the real world, they can easily defeat more than 7% of the armed forces. Except for the Infinite Company and the Ferdinand family, no one should be able to defeat them.

These soldiers called their faction Alra. The origin and meaning of the name are still unknown, but almost all of them are soldiers or military personnel, and even if they are not, they have military backgrounds. These people are all good fighters, and there are also very strict rules within the faction. They look like a well-trained army. They will regularly conduct long-distance patrols and transport supplies to other bases within the faction. In a word, how an excellent army operates is how Alra operates. It is precisely because they have rules that they can allocate people to explore this special space. Only then can they obtain so much information.

After years of research, Alra discovered that the size of this space was extremely exaggerated, as if it had no end. At least with their ability, they could not find the edge. However, they did not gain nothing over the years. They summarized and confirmed a lot of information about this strange space.

First of all, even if there are always people pouring in, there are enough supplies for everyone, and there are even some left. Because these supplies are randomly refreshed at various locations in the space from time to time, it is very likely that there was nothing here a few minutes ago, and a few minutes later, there are enough supplies to feed a city. However, before these supplies are used up, no new supplies will be refreshed. But as long as you leave this location for a distance, you can find new things.

The refreshed supplies included everything from food supplies to aircraft and cannons. In short, there was nothing missing. Alra even built an internal communication network in a certain area through the supplies that appeared. It could communicate over long distances. However, there was only one type of thing that had never been seen before, which was the teleportation device. Therefore, Alra's senior management believed that teleportation was probably the only way to leave this space.

At the same time, an expedition team belonging to Alra made a surprising discovery related to death. In this space, as long as a person dies, his body will disappear. For a long time, everyone believed that death is death. During the operation, the expedition team actually found a familiar face, a member of the expedition team's base, a comrade who died a few months ago. That guy was actually alive.

Through questioning him, the expedition team found that this person had lost all his memories since entering this space, except for the details of his own death. According to him, he was teleported to a strange place after his death. There were many creatures that looked like humans, but they were not human at all. Those creatures could use almost all known human languages ​​and even technology, but when they talked to each other, they used a completely incomprehensible language.

The expedition tried to ask him for more information, but he couldn't recall anything of value. The only thing he could remember about these guys, apart from a few small memories, was that they called themselves "contractors."

He had no idea how to get back to this space. He just felt that after he saw them, his five senses suddenly became extremely blurred. After being in this state for a long time, he suddenly returned to this space.

This news was quickly passed back to the base of Alra, and after discussion, the senior executives came up with an idea that these guys who called themselves contractors probably knew how this space existed, and based on their claim to be contractors, it was likely that they had built this space, so they must have a way to get out.

Since then, every base in Alra that could be contacted has received a long-term mission, which is to find the traces of the contractors. However, so far, except for the dead Alra soldiers who were found, no one has ever seen them alive. And those soldiers who have seen the contractors have no extra memories at all.

"I guess the contractor used some method to erase their memories." Gloria said to herself.

Finding a contractor is a long-term task, and there is no rush. After all, it is not impossible to survive here, and it is even very comfortable. Some people don't even want to leave here. This may be one of the reasons why no contractor has been found so far. So Alra's people continued to search this strange space, preparing to find other ways.

Through their investigation, they also discovered some peculiarities about this other space. First, this place has seasons, but they are different from the normal four seasons, and the time is completely different. In addition to spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is another special season, which the Alras call the Hour of Decay. Of course, many people do not like this fancy name, and simply call it the fifth season.

As it happens, it is now the fifth season. In the fifth season, the sky is always as cloudy as a cloud of fog, as if it is always foggy, visibility is not very high, and it is relatively dim. In this season, the supplies will become less, and all buildings will become concrete rough houses without any entrances. However, for the strongholds or camps that have been occupied and transformed, only the building materials will become concrete, but the internal structure will not change, and the existing things in the camp will not disappear.

Yes, the environment here changes with the seasons. It's not always a lifeless concrete jungle. There are all kinds of plants and animals here in the corresponding seasons. Even the weather changes. There will be sunrises and sunsets. There will be rain, snow, wind and frost. There will even be natural disasters.

Moreover, the terrain in the environment will also change in different seasons. For example, there are suddenly some obstacles made of bushes or ice blocks on the open space, blocking the original terrain. It may also be that there is a flood or a wildfire, which makes the location of a dead end become a passable place. In addition to those occupied strongholds, the terrain of all the locations that Alra has been to in this space is not static. This is why Alra's information is only extremely brief, with only approximate directions, but no accurate maps. Even if Alra has equipment to accurately calculate coordinates, it is useless because the coordinates will also change.

In addition to these, there is also a special building in this space, which is a skyscraper.

"I didn't expect to find such a reward!" Gloria was very excited about this information and couldn't wait to read it carefully.

The interior of this skyscraper does not change with the seasons, because its interior itself is constantly changing. As the floors increase, the internal environment will also change. Except for the first five floors, which are always concrete structures, the environment is completely different almost every time you go up, even beyond the size that can be observed from the outside of the building.

Starting from the sixth floor of the skyscraper, once you step into it, enemies will appear. These enemies are different from the four forces outside. There are all kinds of monsters, from small hostile hamsters to large and powerful creatures in myths and legends that should not appear in such a place. They are as old as primitive life and as far as future interstellar races. There is everything, but without exception, all of them carry an unappeasable hostility. It can be said that the only result of a meeting is the death of one party. The people of Alra don’t know what the purpose of the existence of this building is, but they only know that it is very high, probably more than 200 floors. However, the people of Alra only went up to the ninety-third floor at most. The enemies above are not something they can deal with. They are even an elite team of more than ten people, and all of them are alive. Even if the supplies dropped by the enemies in the building after their death are not counted, the supplies they brought with them are also sufficient.

After clearing the 93rd floor, the leader gave the order to stop climbing. One member looked out through the window of the building (it was another season in the space, and the building had windows). They had reached a very high altitude and could hardly see the ground. The clouds were no more than five floors away from their location.

When they were about to leave, they found that a functioning elevator suddenly appeared in the empty elevator shaft. For safety reasons, a soldier volunteered to take the elevator. It turned out that any floor from the first to the ninety-third floor could be reached by elevator, but it was impossible to go any higher.

After returning to the base, the climbing team made a bold guess. They suggested that it is very likely that by climbing to the top of the skyscraper, they would be able to find a way to leave this space. Later, Alra sent out a more elite climbing team with more people. Unfortunately, this time they stopped at the 20th floor. Of the people who went this time, only two and a half came back alive. The half-man was said to have been cut in half by a swordsman who could use magic. Fortunately, there were first aid equipment and he returned to the base alive.

The skyscraper and the contractor have become long-term tasks. Over the years, people have tried to complete them. Although they have never succeeded, they are getting closer and closer. Although the skyscraper has stopped at the 105th floor due to strength reasons, Alra has actually found some gains in the search for contractors. And this gain is also related to the fourth force in this space that is currently known.

There are not many records about the fourth force, which shows that Alra does not often come into contact with them. So far, Gloria has only come into contact with a two-person patrol team, although she also passed by one of their bases. But their strength is very strong, and Gloria's rationality made her avoid that camp. Even for that patrol team, Gloria relied on sneak attacks to barely defeat them.

"It seems that Alra knows more than I do. Let me see what kind of monster this fourth force is."
