Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Inside the maintenance facility.

Mr. Tiger found a terminal that recorded the maintenance log, and spotted several soldiers whose repairs were about to be completed. According to their numbers, he found the location of their workbenches for repairing their power armor.

Mr. Tiger, disguised as a maintenance worker, found a soldier who was slacking off in a corner of the maintenance facility and told him that there was some problem with the weapon system of the power armor and it would take several hours to repair.

The soldier seemed very excited, nodded and ran away, it seemed that he didn't like working very much. Mr. Tiger followed him and helped him solve the problem of not wanting to work forever, and changed into his soldier's uniform.

Having found his power armor, Mr. Tiger was at the maintenance terminal, deleted his maintenance log, entered his power armor, and left the maintenance facility.

There was a problem with the energy source of this power armor, and it was unable to rely on the power device to assist in movement. However, this was not a problem at all for Mr. Tiger. Soon, Mr. Tiger, wearing the power armor, arrived at the core facilities of the space station.

Because the defense force outside the core facilities was very sufficient, and perhaps because no one would ever attack the core facilities of the space station, Mr. Tiger, wearing a soldier's power armor, was able to sneak in very easily.

Bypassing the large number of soldiers and defense systems in front, Mr. Tiger came to the outside of an energy station, found a position, pretended to be a patrol soldier who was slacking off, and exited the power armor.

Using the information scanned by the swarm, Mr. Tiger found out the personnel configuration inside the energy station and their routes of action, and found that most of them were in a room in the center of the energy station. He entered the energy station, bypassed the monitoring equipment inside, and came to the security room inside.

The security room was laxly guarded. There was only one security guard inside, and he was sleeping on a chair. The evil-minded Mr. Tiger slapped him, but he didn't wake up. He was sleeping very soundly.

Using the monitoring equipment and information terminal nearby, Mr. Tiger understood that the role of this energy station is to provide energy to the life-support devices of the core facilities of the space station. There are many energy stations like this nearby, and they are responsible for different functions.

Mr. Tiger was thinking about countermeasures. He thought he could use this energy station to attract the attention of some garrison soldiers. Now he just needed to decide how to do it.

It is not advisable to shut down the reactor of the energy station completely, because in that case, others will soon find out that this is an attack on the core facilities, which may have a counterproductive effect. Then it is necessary to destroy part of it and disguise it as a maintenance accident.

Continuing to search on the information terminal, Mr. Tiger found an email containing a log left by the maintenance personnel of the energy station. It said that there were some problems with the cooling pipes of the reactor. The reactor can now only operate at 80% of the power. Exceeding this threshold may cause the cooling to fail and the reactor to overheat.

However, it also says that when the reactor reaches 85 percent of its power, it will be automatically shut down by the safety system and the backup reactor will be started. It will take five minutes to restart the backup reactor.

“This is a loophole that can be exploited.”

Looking back at the guard who was still sleeping, Mr. Tiger found the location of the reactor control room through the monitoring terminal, stood up and walked out of the monitoring room.

The guard in the monitoring room turned over in his chair, scratched his nose, and was sleeping soundly and snoring. It seemed that he was really sleeping.

Mr. Tiger, who did not leave, stood outside the monitoring room, put away the pistol against the door, and walked towards the reactor control room.

There are many maintenance workers and engineers in the control room. It seems that this is the room that the swarm scanned before.

Using the swarm of bees, Mr. Tiger looked for opportunities and a few minutes later, he found an engineer who left the control room to go to the toilet. Mr. Tiger followed him, controlled him, and installed a bomb on him.

"I want you to do one thing. As long as you do what I say, I will defuse the bomb on you."

"no problem!"

"Go get the reactor up to eighty-five percent power."

"But that would..."

"It causes the reactor to be shut down by safety devices, and then the backup reactor will be activated five minutes later. I know that."

"I see..."

The engineer with the bomb installed on his body returned to the control room of the reactor, changed the power of the reactor, and returned to Mr. Tiger. Mr. Tiger also removed the bomb from his body and knocked him unconscious.

Mr. Tiger didn't kill him because he was still useful.

Carrying the engineer, Mr. Tiger left the energy station. Sure enough, the alarm indicating the reactor was shut down was echoing shrilly, attracting many soldiers and maintenance personnel.

With a few minutes left, Mr. Tiger, carrying the engineer, quickly bypassed the crowd and entered the depths of the core of the space station. From afar, he saw the main engine reactor of the space station and the navigation room of the space station directly above it.

Coming to a secret location on the side of the main engine reactor, Mr. Tiger slapped the unconscious engineer twice to wake him up. The engineer was pretending to be unconscious, but Mr. Tiger did not expose him, but cooperated with him in the play.

Mr. Tiger took out a communication terminal and seemed to be talking to someone. He finally took off the maintenance mask that covered his entire head, revealing his tiger head.

"It's me, I've reached the main engine reactor! I'll be in there in a minute and blow it up! That's it."

After saying that, Mr. Tiger put away the communication terminal and ran away quickly.

When Mr. Tiger's back disappeared from his sight, the engineer who pretended to be unconscious quickly got up and took out the communication terminal that had not been taken away from him.

"Someone is trying to blow up the main engine's reactor! Someone come quickly!"

While calling for reinforcements and guards using the communication terminal, the engineer fled away from the main engine reactor not far away.

"It's quite easy. The NPCs in this dungeon don't seem very smart."

Mr. Tiger, who was hiding aside and had not entered the reactor at all, found a blind spot, bent down to gather strength, suddenly leaped into the air, and climbed up to the navigation room through the external pipe.

Navigation indoors.

A man wearing a black military windbreaker and military leather boots, but with a space station uniform underneath, is talking to a woman next to him with his hands behind his back.

"Litis, what do you think?"

"Blowing up the main engine is a stupid suicidal act. The resulting explosion will destroy one-third of the space station. The attacker must have other goals. However, the possibility of using a time bomb cannot be ruled out."

The woman called Littis was wearing a tight one-piece uniform. Her right eye looked like a mechanical product. She was probably not an ordinary human being, but a modified soldier.

"The space station will be making a jump in two days, and there will be diplomats aboard. What do you think of Littish?"

"I think this attack has nothing to do with them. After all, the organization they represent is dispensable to us. If they want to attack the space station, it will only have the opposite effect."

"Did the engineer find out?"

"We found out that there was nothing wrong with him. He was coerced. However, he was not very smart and fell into the trap of the coercer."

"Do you know who our "attacker" is?"

"The hidden equipment installed in the manor and the energy station captured his appearance, but he was wearing a researcher's mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. However, judging from his route, there is a 90% chance that he appeared from the direction of Maxi's church."

"Maxi... eh... I get it. Go find Maxi and control him."

"Yes, General."

Lydia's figure gradually faded into the air, as if she had used some kind of invisibility ability and disappeared.

The general muttered to himself as he picked up a stack of papers on the console.

"Pastor Maxi... there is no such person. A person whose origins cannot be traced has actually stayed in the space station for three years and obtained a high status and authority. Has the Federation really become corrupt to this extent..."

"Click."

Behind the general, the door of the navigation room was opened and a man walked in. The general turned around and saw a man with a tiger head. His left hand was holding a suppressed pistol in front of his chest, and his right hand was holding a communication terminal.

"Maxi, a woman named Lydia is here to see you. She should be a cyborg and have some kind of invisible ability. Be careful, don't let yourself be treated like a pig."

"Litis, I know her, don't worry, nothing will go wrong, how about you?"

"I found the general. I'm in front of him and ready to talk to him. That's it for now."

"understood."

"beep."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Tiger and the general faced each other, but neither of them said anything. A minute later, it was the general who broke the silence first.

"So you are indeed Maxi's man, what is your purpose?"

"I still prefer the term partner. As for the purpose, I don't want to tell you. But don't worry, since you dare to let a seemingly capable person... no matter if it's a guard, bodyguard or subordinate, leave and stay here alone, then it means that you are more or less capable yourself."

"Your analysis is not wrong."

"So without a fight, neither you nor I will tell the truth, so let's save those useless pleasantries."

"That makes sense."

"Shhhhhh!"

Mr. Tiger suddenly jumped up and fired the pistol in his hand rapidly, emptying the magazine in an instant.

However, the general on the opposite side was no small fry. Several nano-mechanical arms quickly emerged from his body. Their speed and accuracy were very fast. They easily caught all the bullets shot by Mr. Tiger, played with the warheads, and threw them to the ground.

"Attacking me with a live firearm is not a wise choice."

"I underestimated you. There's nothing I can do about it. The other people in the space station are not on the same level as you."

The pistol should not be of any use, so Mr. Tiger put away the pistol, stretched his neck, and rushed towards the general.

He stepped forward, twisted his waist, and threw a swinging punch at the general. The general did not dodge, but also punched back. Their fists collided, making a popping sound as if the air was being squeezed. Neither of them could move the other.

Mr. Tiger was very excited because he had finally encountered an enemy of equal strength.

The two men did not dodge, but attacked each other with all their strength. However, for the time being, the general had the upper hand, after all, he now had eight hands.

However, the general did not have an overwhelming advantage, because although he could briefly control Mr. Tiger's hands and use the other six mechanical arms to attack Mr. Tiger's face, the tiger-headed guy on the opposite side was incredibly tough. After fighting for a long time, he didn't even have a wound.

"Well, it's interesting, but it looks like you need to work harder. But if you want to keep going, I can keep you company."

Seeing the happy smile on Mr. Tiger's face, the general decided to get serious.

During a confrontation, the general used his eight arms to temporarily control Mr. Tiger. The general's eyes glowed red, and powerful energy gathered in his eyes.

"Om!!"

Two thick beams of light shot at Mr. Tiger's chest. The high temperature generated by the beams instantly burned Mr. Tiger's clothes. They bombarded his flesh and successfully burned through Mr. Tiger's muscles, leaving a deep wound. However, when it reached a certain depth, it was difficult to cause any more damage.
