Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Uh, this looks like a large snowball machine. Are you sure this is the 272nd floor? I feel like this floor looks like a ski resort equipment room."

"I'm not sure, but this thing uses a special energy barrier to lock the area behind it. If we want to get through, we probably have to figure out what this device is."

In the center of the 272nd floor, Han Zu saw a device that took up a large space. Apart from the fact that the device looked like a snowball machine, Han Zu had never seen its operation and functions before.

However, the device has been running smoothly. It has created something between a protective force field and an air wall, blocking half of the 272nd floor. At present, there is nothing that can be investigated in this device, so Gloria, who cannot enter the 272nd floor, chats with Han Zu through the contractor's equipment.

“Buzz~~~Zizi!! Zizi!!”

At this moment, some fan-shaped scanning rays appeared from the large device, which checked Han Zu from head to toe. However, after the scan was completed, the device did not perform any operations immediately, but seemed to be analyzing the scanned data, or entered some kind of standby state.

"Multiple floating artillery systems detected."

"Buzz~~!!!"

Han Zu, who was still studying the large equipment in front of him, heard the prompt from the contractor's equipment and was about to turn his head to see what was going on when a beam of light with a completely unfamiliar energy response directly pierced through the left half of Han Zu's face, leaving a large hole that was difficult to heal. Han Zu noticed that the source of the beam of light was a slow-moving floating cannon at the end of the room.

“Thump thump thump thump!!!”

Han Zu immediately hid behind the device, but another extremely fast floating gun flew out from the area blocked by the large equipment, and immediately opened fire when the muzzle was aimed at Han Zu. Dense warheads made of unknown metal shot over like a storm. Han Zu immediately raised his hand to block it, but even so, his entire right hand was almost shot out, leaving only some scattered flesh and skin.

“Woo hum~~!”

Han Zu jumped out diagonally and hit the floating cannon that destroyed his arm with high-energy rays from his eyes. Although it was very fast, its body was very fragile. It only grazed the edge and the floating cannon was destroyed.

"Boom!"

Han Zu, lying on the ground, was ready to move immediately to avoid the floating cannon that might continue to attack and pierce half of his face at the beginning. However, he noticed that the floating cannon seemed to be charging, but another floating cannon appeared next to it, which was a little slower than it, but it did shoot out an energy ball flying towards him in a parabolic trajectory. Instinct told Han Zu that it was best not to take this thing head-on.

"Buzz! Zizizizizi~~~~"

Sure enough, just as Han Zu stood up by slapping the ground with one hand and pulling away from the expected landing point of the ball of light, when the ball of light hit the ground, an energy collapse range with abnormal gravitational force immediately appeared, and everything in the range was instantly annihilated, including the wreckage of the floating cannon that Han Zu had shot down.

After crushing a micro reactor, Han Zu repaired his body and used high-energy rays to shoot at the floating gun that fired the light ball. Although he successfully penetrated it, it seemed that he did not hit the weak point. It was still accumulating energy.

At the same time, the floating cannon fired again and hit Han Zu again. However, this time Han Zu used the radiation force field to strengthen himself, so he was not penetrated by the beam of light this time. However, the beam of light still penetrated his skin and muscles and reached a third of the way. Han Zu noticed that this special beam of light seemed to carry a special inert energy. It would weaken his recovery ability, making the injuries that could have been healed instantly take longer to repair and heal.

Han Zu noticed that more floating guns were appearing. If the number of such guns continued to increase, Han Zu might not be able to repair any of his injuries, which was not a good idea. So Han Zu immediately crushed two micro-reactors and used high-energy rays to attack the floating guns that shot out beams of light. However, after destroying one or two, when Han Zu was about to destroy the third, his ray was suddenly deflected by a transparent energy field.

"Didi di di di!!!"

Two floating cannons rushed towards Han Zu's position at a high speed. Han Zu dodged immediately and passed through the gap between them. As a result, when Han Zu was in the middle of the two floating cannons, a special force field composed of electric induction and stagnation was suddenly released in the middle of the two floating cannons, which fixed Han Zu in place.

"Bombing strike detected en route."

Just as Han Zu was unable to move, with several beams of light piercing his body and some parts of his flesh being torn off by the fast floating cannons, he noticed three devices extending from the ceiling in the distance.

It's obviously the muzzle of a gun.

"Boom boom boom!!!!"

Han Zu and the two floating cannons that controlled him were perfectly covered by the artillery fire. This kind of artillery fire was extremely powerful, and Han Zu had never seen it before. When the two trap floating cannons were blown into pieces, Han Zu's body was also blown to pieces. Fortunately, when Han Zu destroyed the trap floating cannons with the first artillery fire, he immediately reacted and used his arms to block in advance, so he was only blown off 6% of his body, leaving half of his upper body without arms.

However, the attack of the floating cannon system did not stop there. The mortar floating cannon that could create annihilation energy opened fire again. The gap in Han Zu's body immediately spurted out flames and changed its direction. Because of the large amount of body missing, Han Zu's weight was also reduced by 60%, so this time the flame propulsion made Han Zu's movement speed very fast.

Since he had been hit several times by the light beam that could suppress his recovery ability, Han Zu was unable to repair his limbs or grow tentacles to replace them. Fortunately, he had crushed two micro reactors in advance and had enough energy, so Han Zu used the power of fire to fly up like a bust-shaped floating cannon. While dodging the attacks, he used high-energy rays to counterattack the floating cannon group.

"Support-type floating artillery platform detected, recommended to destroy first."

"The separation of modular parts has been detected, and the current displacement speed has increased."

"Current energy remaining: 89%. It is recommended to increase the attack frequency."

"Evaluating available tactics... Error, directional interference detected. Attempting to hack into the jammer, current hacking progress: 43%."

While Han Zu, who was in the shape of a floating cannon, was "playing" with the group of floating cannons, Han Zu noticed that a floating cannon platform without an attack system appeared in the distance. Because it was consciously blocked by other floating cannons, Han Zu could not attack it directly. Because of the existence of the blocking position, Han Zu could not reach the position behind the large equipment, and his high-energy rays would also be deflected by the support platform's position, greatly reducing the efficiency of the attack.

"Current energy remaining: 81%, invasion progress: 71%."

"Multiple trap floater systems detected."

"An attempt to lock onto an artillery weapon system has been detected."

The energy consumption in his body was acceptable, and the invasion of the support platform was almost complete. As long as Han Zu could avoid those trap floaters and avoid the second round of bombardment, he could destroy those floaters and the support platform. Although the attack power of the floaters was outrageous, they were fragile. If there was nothing on this layer, he would not be able to fly over. Han Zu felt that even if he threw a few stones, he could easily destroy those floaters.

"Invasion complete, deflection protection field closed."

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

As soon as the contractor's equipment prompt appeared, Han Zu's high-energy ray that he had stored for half a day flew over. The thick high-energy ray directly penetrated everything in the path, including the floating artillery groups blocking the front, and destroyed the support platform together, directly eliminating one-fifth of the floating artillery groups.

And perhaps it was because the energy accumulation was sufficient. After completing all this, the high-energy rays emitted from Han Zu's eyes did not dry up, so Han Zu turned his head and used them to cut everything he could see, whether it was the artillery system on the ceiling or a wide variety of floating artillery groups. After 3 seconds of continuous shooting, the floating artillery groups were all destroyed, and a large number of deep grooves with burn marks appeared on the walls in all directions of the 272nd floor. Although the walls were repairing quickly, before the repair, you could even see the gray sky outside the building through those positions.

“Kala la la…”

At the same time, a strange phenomenon occurred on Han Zu's body. Although the energy fluctuations that could suppress Han Zu's recovery ability had not completely disappeared, the gaps on Han Zu's body suddenly began to grow flesh and blood crazily. This kind of flesh and blood not only grew faster than Han Zu's original speed of repairing injuries, but their texture was also completely different from Han Zu's original body. Not only that, Han Zu even discovered that these crazily growing flesh and blood did not consume the remaining energy in his body.

"Multiple abnormal modular changes detected, errors, unrecognized, recalculating."

The contractor's equipment also showed a prompt, allowing Han Zu to be completely sure that the abnormal modularity prompted by the equipment referred to the flesh and blood that had grown out of him. Through observation, Han Zu discovered that these newly grown flesh and blood seemed to be completely different from his original body tissues.

If Han Zu's body was rough and hard like shark skin, but still considered human-like, it was completely different now.

"Multiple artillery groups detected."

"Insufficient energy detected."

"Modular data changes detected, Error: No matching entry detected, building a new entry."

"Revising tactical assessment... Completed."

"Current threat assessment level: Low"

But now is not the right time to delve into the changes in his body. The contractor's equipment showed several important prompts. However, Han Zu did not pay full attention to the information prompted by the equipment, because the attack of the floating cannon group had already begun. Han Zu instinctively avoided the attack of several light beam floating cannons, but was controlled by several other trap floating cannons. Multiple artillery attacks were about to start.

But what surprised Han Zu was that the traps that originally could keep him motionless, even though their number had increased several times this time, only reduced his movement speed by about 40%.

However, he was stunned for a second because of the sudden discovery, and the multiple bombardments hit Han Zu solidly. However, the expected state of unconsciousness due to the serious injury did not occur. Han Zu found that the part that was destroyed this time was the remaining part of his body that was not destroyed in the previous round of bombardment.

This time, Han Zu stood in a very strange position. Without half of his upper body and head, the rest of his body could move freely. Due to Han Zu's special characteristics, he did not have the weakness of dying or losing consciousness if his head was destroyed. Even if only a fingernail was left, he could still think normally.

Han Zu subconsciously grew a lens on each of his arms that could replace his eyes. He was ready to fight back while waiting for his body to repair itself. But he suddenly realized something strange.

"My arms aren't connected to the rest of my body by tentacles, so how do they move?"

Indeed, Han Zu's arms were not connected to his body at the moment, but were floating in the air. However, Han Zu did not feel any limb separation. He felt that they were still connected to his body, even though that position was empty now.

"Crack! Crack!"

At the moment when Han Zu was stunned, the part of his body that was destroyed by the second round of bombardment suddenly grew out and became the same material as other parts. At the same time, the second round of attack from the floating artillery group also followed, and more than a dozen beams of light hit Han Zu's body firmly.

"Buzz~~Buzz~~~"

However, this time, the beams of light not only failed to penetrate and destroy Han Zuxin's new body, but were refracted by Han Zuxin's body. The refracted beams of light shot around without rules and logic, causing many friendly casualties in the floating artillery group. Han Zu did nothing, and 30% of the new floating artillery group was destroyed.

"Energy storage attack system detected, locked. Estimated impact countdown: 3"

"2"

"1"

“Buzz~~!!!!!”

Just as Han Zu forced himself to turn his dazed attention back to the battle, an energy beam half the thickness of his chest illuminated his eyes. Unexpectedly, Han Zu was very calm at this time, and he remembered something else.

"Did I forget something?"

“Buzz!!!!!!”

The beam of light carrying huge energy hit Han Zu. The impact caused by the energy explosion made the entire 272nd floor only hear the huge hum of energy. The entire 272nd floor was as bright as day, as if someone had hit God with a flash of light. The excessive light pollution reached the saturation maximum value of light absorption. If someone saw this scene with their own eyes, they would not see a white light, but instead would see darkness.

For example, Gloria was outside the entrance on the 272nd floor, observing Han Zu's battle through the contractor's equipment.

Before her vision turned into darkness and her hearing was blocked by the buzzing sound of energy, she had been observing Han Zu's every move in real time through the contractor's equipment. Although the scene was tragic and Han Zu was in desperate situations many times, in order not to affect Han Zu's fighting instincts, Gloria had not spoken a word. However, this energy beam, even Gloria, who was not on the 272nd floor, had a warning on her contractor's equipment suggesting avoidance.

"Han Zu, Han Zu? Han Zu!!"

A strong feeling of discomfort hit Gloria's brain. Her vision and hearing had not yet fully recovered. She could only try to contact Han Zu through the contractor's equipment, but received no response.

"Oh shit!"

With her eyes completely dark and her ears buzzing, Gloria groped forward while trying to contact Han Zu, but she did not receive any response. However, she seemed to have discovered that she had entered the battle space on the 272nd floor, which had been isolated. In this case, either Han Zu had cleared the 272nd floor, or the 272nd floor had completed its work. From the scene Gloria saw through Han Zu's perspective before she lost her vision, the situation did not seem to be good.

Gloria staggered to her feet, stretched out her hands and groped forward. It was empty here. Apart from the residual energy reaction with a concentration that was a little disgusting, Gloria didn't touch anything.

But soon after, Gloria felt someone holding her shoulder. The buzzing sound in her ears had not disappeared, but her eyes, which were darkened by light pollution, seemed to recover a little. Through the blurred outline in front of her, the person holding her shoulder should be Han Zu. Gloria breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out her hands to his face. She was going to touch it with her hands to make sure she was seeing things.

"..What...? You...?"

The buzzing sound in her ears became a little quieter, and she could hear the person in front of her seemed to say something to her. Gloria blinked twice, trying to speed up the recovery of her vision. Perhaps it did work. Gloria's vision recovered a lot. Now she can be sure that the person in front of her is indeed Han Zu. This also proves that Han Zu dealt with the attack by some unknown method and successfully cleared the 272nd floor.

"..thing?..not seen..?"

Gloria saw Han Zu waving his palm in front of her eyes, and she saw double. It seemed that he was asking about her situation.

"I couldn't see the energy just now. My ears were filled with the buzzing sound of energy, so I couldn't hear what you said."

Although she couldn't hear clearly, Gloria confirmed that it was Han Zu in front of her, so it didn't matter. She told her current condition. After that, she saw Han Zu nodded, said something, and then pointed to the staircase leading to the upper floor at the end of the 272nd floor. Without waiting for Gloria to respond, Han Zu carried Gloria and walked towards the staircase.
