Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"throat!"

In order to catch up, Han Zu did not observe the structural diagram of this part of the waterway too carefully because he had heard the noise of an energy weapon. When the naturally damaged garbage disposal device and the big hole in front came into Han Zu's sight, he hurriedly stopped his advance. Because the ground of the waterway was very slippery, Han Zu had to lean back and thrust his hands into the ground, creating a few meters of gullies on the ground before he successfully stopped.

After regaining his footing, Han Zu immediately came to the edge of the large downward hole and accidentally stepped on an unstable structure, which became loose and a few small stones fell in. It was very quiet here, so he could hear the sound of the small stones falling into the water after hitting them many times.

"No other units were found."

The contractor's equipment scan did not detect anyone nearby, but Han Zu was completely sure that the sound of energy weapons firing that he had heard before was definitely not wrong.

"Were they following behind me from the beginning, instead of ahead of me?"

The current situation is not good. If they run away, then according to the previous understanding of their conversation, most of them will activate the satellite's star destroyer cannon after leaving this planet. This thing is not a joke. So while using the equipment to lock the sky and prepare to receive the huge energy signal, Han Zu communicated with Gloria and asked her to immediately debug the transmission node after entering the second outpost, and also use the equipment to lock the sky, as long as the huge energy reaction appears, she will be teleported away immediately.

"how about you?"

"My location is closer to the first outpost. I will find a way to leave from there."

"Don't keep looking for those guys. You can't resist the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon. Let's leave immediately!"

"The equipment did not find any jump nodes, which means they don't have short-range transmission equipment. We have already controlled the two outposts, and there are all those biological groups outside. If they don't have external support, they should move through the waterway. I guess they are thinking of leaving the city through the waterway, and then leaving from outside the city. There may be other facilities of theirs on this planet, or reinforcements such as landing ships. If I can lock onto the spaceship that suddenly appears, I will have enough time to leave."

"What if they left long ago? After all, you didn't find them in the past two hours."

"Maybe they have some kind of cloaking equipment or something, but I'm sure they haven't left the waterway yet. During the previous battle, I heard the sound of energy weapons firing not far from me. From that time on, I have been chasing them through the residual energy. The traces of the residual energy have just disappeared. They don't have long-distance transmission equipment, so they shouldn't have gone far."

"boom!"

"I'm in!"

He could hear the sound of something heavy falling from the other end of the communication line. Combined with Gloria's words, Han Zu judged that she should have entered the interior of the second outpost.

"Let's do as planned. I have a feeling that the team is not far from me. If I can't find it, I will go to the first outpost and leave from there."

"Then where do we meet?"

"The contractor's node on the rooftop of the building is very stable. Our location is too far from home, so other nodes may not be available."

"Okay, be careful Han Zu!"

"Ah."

After the communication ended, Han Zu used the contractor's equipment to search the area again, but he still found nothing. But for some reason, his intuition told him that the team was near him.

However, the technology used by this team should be the same as that of the contractor, so if they can determine the source of the equipment they use, they should also be able to block the search of the equipment. In addition, their technological level should be similar to that of the contractor. If they really use some equipment to hide their bodies, Han Zu really has no good solution. Ever since the "swarm" was transformed into a perception ability a long time ago, his ability to search for information has always been a shortcoming of his.

But to be honest, even if the swarm of bees was still there, Han Zu didn't think they could play any role in finding this team.

Since Q City, his perception ability has been in a state of being usable but not being used. To put it in an analogy, Han Zu's perception ability is like a ten-year-old, well-worn computer. It can be turned on, but that's all it can do. Although the consumption of perception ability has been almost negligible so far, and the range is twice as large as at the beginning, if we use the empty city as an example, Han Zu's current perception range is enough to cover two such large locations.

But now it can only sense vague energy, and if Han Zu does not have any prior knowledge of the types of energy, these vague energies, which only have frequency strength and size in his perception ability, have no information at all. They are of help to him, but they are almost useless.

However, the contractor's equipment could not be relied upon now, and he had no other choice. Moreover, the more time was wasted and the team left, the greater the chance of the star destroyer being activated. With the attitude of trying everything possible, Han Zu activated his perception ability. In order not to be disturbed by the large-scale biological communities above the waterway and inside the city, Han Zu reduced the range of his perception several times. According to the estimated range, he concentrated his perception on a circular range of about 30 meters with himself as the center.

"Squeak!"

"Um?!"

Han Zu, who did not have much hope for his perception ability and even turned around to move towards the first outpost, suddenly heard several calls of rodents. His visual ability was very strong. Han Zu was sure that there were no animals anywhere in the waterway within 200 meters. Although his hearing was beyond ordinary people, it could only be said to be excellent. Unlike Gloria, he could carefully distinguish all sounds within a range of meters without interference. This situation surprised Han Zu.

The calls of rodents echoed clearly in his ears. Looking in the direction of the sound, Han Zu saw a corner, but there was nothing there, including a small hole that could allow rodents to pass through. However, the calls of the animals were unusually clear, and based on the changes in the sound, the rodents seemed to be moving.

Han Zu suddenly thought of something and immediately used his perspective to observe the direction of the sound. As a result, ten meters below the corner, Han Zu saw a burrow dug by an animal. And at the location of the sound, he actually saw several strange-looking rodents with ears similar to those of mice. They seemed to be transporting food and were moving quickly inside the burrow.

"It works again?"

This discovery gave Han Zu more confidence in his perception ability, so he tried to expand the range of his perception ability to 50 meters, but he still found nothing except the rodents he had already found. Not only that, the sounds of the rodents he had already found suddenly became much smaller and more unstable.

Han Zu was thoughtful about the impact on the range of perception. This time he narrowed the range of perception to about 20 meters. The sounds of rodents became unusually clear. In addition to the calls that seemed to be in Han Zu's ears, he could also hear the sound of the rodents' limbs rubbing against the soil and gravel when they moved in the dungeon.

He narrowed the range of his perception again to ten meters. This time, the outlines of those rodents actually appeared in Han Zu's perception. He didn't even need to use his vision to know what was in this range.

He continued to reduce the range, this time to five meters. Within this range, Han Zu did not need vision at all, and could clearly understand all the information, shapes, sizes, sounds, and activity ranges of the rodents that moved into the perception range, just as if those rodents were not underground, but right in front of him, extremely clear. Even the structure of the crypt and the uneven positions on it, Han Zu could clearly know what it looked like. At this time, Han Zu suddenly discovered a hidden hole leading to the waterway, which was probably dug by those rodents. This hole was extremely secretive, and Han Zu did not find it at first.

A rodent had half of its head sticking out of the hole, but it seemed to have good eyesight. It spotted Han Zu, who was right next to the hole, and immediately went back in. However, it just hid in the hole and did not leave. Perhaps it was due to his sudden strong curiosity, Han Zu finally reduced the range of his perception ability to one meter, and then tried to use it again to observe the rodent hiding in the hole.

Just once, not only the outside, Han Zu was surprised to find that the perception ability compressed to a range of one meter could actually directly explore the internal structure of the body of this rodent like some large-scale medical equipment, and clearly understand its internal organs, blood vessels, bone distribution, and even the blood flow inside the blood vessels.

“It’s like a cheat…”

Not only that, Han Zu also noticed that there were some obvious lights in the rodent's brain and an organ suspected to be the heart, but using the perspective ability to observe, there was nothing abnormal in these two places, and they did not emit any light. However, it took Han Zu only a few seconds to roughly understand what these lights meant.

"weakness?!"

“Ugh~~~~!!!”

At this moment, a wandering Ge?3?9 suddenly flew up from under the big hole not far away. It didn't know that Han Zu was very close to it, so when Han Zu suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it to the ground, it realized that there was another creature here.

Han Zu was not in a hurry to kill the beast at this time. He used his perception ability that could be narrowed down to a range of one meter to look at its head. Sure enough, there was a special organ in the upper right corner of the six eyes. And this organ, like the brain and heart of those rodents, also emitted a clear light.

"Crack."

Using his finger to pierce the weak spot of the leather beast, the hunter creature pinned to the ground died instantly. As Han Zu was holding down its head, it could not open its mouth and did not even make a sound.

"It's useful, but the effective range is too small. Apart from close combat, it's useless... Wait a minute..."

However, at this moment, Han Zu suddenly realized that since he discovered that although the perception ability consumed less energy, it was not very effective, he had not used this ability much. Even if he used it, he only used its basic consumption and had not tried to increase the energy consumption of the perception ability.

"Could it be that..."

Han Zu restored the range of his perception to 30 meters, and sure enough, he could only hear the calls of rodents. But then, Han Zu began to gradually direct the energy in his body to his perception, increasing its energy consumption.

"Shit! I look like that dumb ass!"

As the energy gradually increased, even within a range of 300 meters, he could sense things that he could only sense if the range was reduced to one meter. So Han Zu continued to expand the range of perception and increase energy consumption. This time he directly increased the range to 30 meters. When the energy consumption reached 300%, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he could sense the same information that he could sense within a range of one meter before within a range of meters. This range already included the entire cave, including part of the underwater distance. Han Zu could observe that the sewage pipes leading to the outside of the city, which were tens of kilometers long and located underwater, had gates at the entrance that could only allow water to pass through. Although they were rusty, they were ridiculously thick and there were no signs of damage on them. This proved that the team did not leave from that location.

However, the spherical range of 300 meters seems to be Han Zu's current limit. Although the correct consumption of perception ability within this range only accounts for 30% of its own energy, but based on this range, even if it is increased by one meter, the energy consumption is huge, and it is even similar to the energy required to maintain the bioforce field during flight.

However, Han Zu was not satisfied. Although the range could not be expanded any further, he believed that this did not seem to be the limit of his perception ability. In fact, among all the abilities Han Zu possessed, his understanding of this perception ability was the least.

So Han Zu maintained the spherical range of 300 meters, but continued to increase the energy supply and continued to consume 40% of the energy. After the overall energy consumption reached % of the total energy, Han Zu sensed an extremely weak energy change that was normally impossible to detect.

Around him, he seemed to sense several energy bubbles. The energy emitted by these energy bubbles was extremely weak, and even the contractor's equipment could not detect it. Based on his previous experience, Han Zu seemed to suddenly understand why these energy bubbles might have appeared.

"E, he seems to be staring at me."

"No way? We are in an additional dimension now, where even the traitor's equipment cannot detect us. How can he find us?"

"He is a hunter after all, a type we have never seen before. What if he has some special abilities?"

"Impossible. Judging from his previous combat performance, no matter which type of hunter he belongs to, he must be a combat hunter. Even a powerful hunter is not omnipotent and proficient in combat. He often has shortcomings in information, so he is willing to... He seems to be really staring at you, and now he is staring at me! What's going on? Did he really find us?!"

"He has been standing here since a while ago. He paused for an inexplicable moment when attacking the Leopard. Hey, did your equipment find anything?"

"There was a sudden and obvious change in his energy. The concentration was almost the same as when he used the energy ray. However, he did not use any energy attacks. His only means of attack was to grab the beast and penetrate its weak point with his fingers."

As the team leader, Xin felt a little nervous.

"Leave here immediately. Let's find another way to leave Haigo. Check the status of the deflection device. If there is a problem at this distance, we may not be able to escape."

"I see... He is definitely looking at me!"

A member in the middle of the team saw the hunter moving towards the wall where he was standing, and clearly stretched his head to try to observe something. At the same time, he could see some changes in his eyes. Although they didn't know what he was doing, they had seen similar situations from the hunter's movements when he was fighting. It might be a special visual ability.

"No, we can't stay here any longer, let's move!"

Fortunately, the hunter didn't seem to have really discovered them, so with the help of the offset device, the team members immediately left this position. After keeping a distance from the hunter, the team members immediately ran. Wu was at the end of the team, and he seemed to see that the hunter seemed to glance in their direction.

"Coincidence... Coincidence..."

“Boom…Boom…Boom…”

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"

However, heavy and increasingly rapid footsteps were heard from behind, and everyone looked back. Then they all saw the hunter rushing towards them at an accelerated speed.

“Bullshit!!!”

"The energy of the offset device is insufficient, and the space offset state is about to be released."

"run!!!!"

The energy of the team members' space displacement devices is about to be exhausted. If they are caught up by the hunters at this time, they will definitely not have a good ending.

At the command, the team members began to flee at full speed. Although they had kept a certain distance, the dense and heavy footsteps told them that the hunters behind them were also chasing them.

"boom!!!"

“Ugh~~~!!!!”

"Roar~~!!!"

As the waterway was damaged in many places, more and more hunter creatures discovered their existence. For a while, the waterway became a mess. The team members running in the front, the hunters who were chasing them relentlessly, and the groups of hunter creatures that appeared everywhere and mixed among them turned the originally dim and quiet waterway into a demolition site, with noisy sounds everywhere.
