Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 72 Rat Removal Company

The mysterious website that required a password to log in was actually a section of a company's official website. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary company website, but the bunch of photos hanging on the section made Han Zu frown.

There are not many photos, only about thirty or so. Above these photos, there is a search box. Almost all the photos are of underage children, and the backgrounds of the photos are basically the same, which is a location in a certain facility.

After typing Aina's name into the search box, a photo popped up soon. It was the same photo Han Zu had seen before. Clicking on the photo, he was redirected to another interface.

It was a purchase or rental interface, and the interface design was similar to those online pet stores, except that this interface was for buying people, or monsters. The interface detailed the various data of the "goods" and some matters that needed attention during the "breeding" process. At the bottom was a payment button, but it was gray now, and it said "Has been rented/Awaiting collection."

Click on the rental information, and below some similar rental terms, there is some information about the lessee.

"Leaser: Howard Kluber"

"Lease Purpose: Hunting"

"Lease duration: 90 days / Current remaining time: 2 hours and 31 minutes"

"Recyclers are heading to the recycling site, please cooperate with the recycling work"

At the very bottom of the lease terms, at the signature position, was the seal of a rat extermination company. When this seal was seen, the system finally sent the next task prompt.

"Mission objective: find a way to enter the rat removal company"

The only way to enter the rat removal company now is through the recycling personnel, but the current page does not specify where the recycling location is. Han Zu needs to find the location of this place.

Returning to the homepage of the rat removal company, Han Zu entered "recycling location" in the search box, but a password box popped up. He entered another password and several pages popped up with the detailed location coordinates of some places and some location photos taken on site.

These places are not far from Han Zu's residential area, and they are all within the search range of the swarm. The swarm is spread out and monitored at these locations from high altitude. At present, there is no one at those locations, so it should be that the time has not come yet.

"What's this last password for? It looks a little different from the other passwords. It's a little shorter."

After thinking for a while, Han Zu took a mobile phone from the side. It was Howard's phone, which he had found on Howard before.

The phone had no password, and at first glance there was nothing unusual inside. However, Han Zu saw the brand of the phone, which was known for its multiple systems. Recalling the operating methods in his memory, Han Zu switched the phone's system through some operations in the system settings, and other interfaces appeared on the phone.

On one of the pages, Han Zu saw the only software. The icon was a seal of a rat extermination company. After clicking it, there was information about Aina's rental. However, there was an additional option below the information, which was used to contact the recycling personnel.

After clicking on the option, the phone automatically dialed an anonymous number. After a few busy tones, the call was successfully connected.

"Recycling code."

After looking at the last password on the computer, Han Zu tried to say it. After a few seconds of silence, the other party resumed the conversation.

"The recycling code is confirmed to be correct. Please bring the rental product intact to the designated recycling location. The recycling location is..."

The recovery personnel on the other side gave the detailed coordinates of a location, but this location was completely different from the locations Han Zu had obtained before, and it was very far away from them, even beyond the detection range of the swarm.

After informing the recycling location, the recycling personnel on the other side hung up the phone. Han Zu put on his coat and put away the two hounds. This time he took nothing with him, only the old doll and the female police officer's car keys. He carried Ina, who was sleeping on the bed due to exhaustion, and left the bomber's home.

When he came outside, it was still extremely dark, with visibility so low that the normal eye could not see anything at all. But fortunately, it had no effect on Han Zu.

This pitch-black environment is not without any advantages. The transparent barriers become easier to see. Han Zu recalled the rules written in the notebook. In order to avoid trouble, he followed the instructions and turned left this time.

Because of the detour, it took some time to reach the edge of the residential area. As long as he turned left for the last time, he would be able to leave the coverage of the barrier. When he arrived in front of the last barrier, Han Zu reached out and touched the barrier. This time there was no obstruction, and his palm easily passed through the barrier.

As if he had thought of something, Han Zu put down Aina from his shoulders.

"Crack."

The moment Han Zu put Aina down, the hand he had extended across the barrier was neatly cut off at the connection point of the barrier. Looking at the empty wrist, Han Zu nodded.

"There must be some secrets between these rentable 'goods' and these barriers. I wonder if we can find them."

“Gu… gulp…”

The flesh at his wrist began to twist, and a new hand quickly grew out. After moving his wrist, Han Zu picked up Aina from the ground again.

“Hey…”

"what..."

In the darkness at the back, there was a faint sound that sounded very strange. Something was approaching from a distance. Han Zu really wanted to go and take a look, but Han Zu couldn't attack casually now, and there was not much time left for the mission.

"What a shame, I'm really curious."

Carrying Aina, Han Zu successfully passed the barrier and came to the normal world. Glancing at the ground, Han Zu saw his previously severed hand. For some reason, there was no blood on the broken part of the palm, so Han Zu picked it up.

“Leave it for a snack on the way.”

Putting his severed hand into his pocket, Han Zu carried Aina to the outside of the residential area, where the female police officer parked her car.

"drop."

After stuffing Aina into the back seat, Han Zu sat in the driver's seat and started the car towards the location given by the recovery personnel. The oil in the car was almost the same, probably because it had just been refueled. Han Zu also collected the bee colony and prepared to release it before reaching the destination.

It was already very late, and there was no car on the road, so Han Zu's foot hardly left the accelerator, maintaining a very fast speed, and soon arrived near the target location. Han Zu released the swarm of bees in advance.

A few minutes later, Han Zu arrived at the recycling location told by the recycling personnel. It was a restaurant with a parking lot. One or two kilometers to the right of the restaurant was the entrance to a cross-sea bridge.

After parking the car at a location, Han Zu took Aina out of the car. Aina had woken up in the car. In order to prevent her from overturning the car and wasting time, Han Zu returned the old doll to her. After getting the doll, Aina became very quiet, holding the doll, without making any sound.

"Go wait in the restaurant for a while."

Pulling Aina towards the restaurant, he briefly let go of Aina when he pushed open the door of the restaurant, entered the restaurant, turned back to look for Aina, and found that Aina was suddenly gone.

"It's really worrying. I still have to..."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Outside the restaurant's door, a thick metal wall suddenly fell down, blocking the exit. Then, the entire restaurant was sealed off, and Han Zu seemed to be trapped in a metal cage.

"Zizzi."

The lights in the restaurant flickered a few times, and then all the light sources were turned off. In the darkness, Han Zu saw some tiny spots of light on his body. Judging from the faint light that occasionally hit his eyes, there were quite a few on his head as well.

“Da da da da da!!!”

"Shhhhhh!"

"Boom!"

Some dazzling flames suddenly illuminated the dark space, followed by a series of continuous gunfire sounds. In the short time when the flames flickered, it could be seen that there were many people holding various weapons on the second floor of the restaurant and around Han Zu on the first floor. They were wearing special night vision goggles and were dressed similarly to the people in the rat removal company that Han Zu had seen before, but they looked more militaristic. They were like a team of fully armed elite soldiers.

After a few seconds, the shooting stopped and the lights in the restaurant were turned on again. Han Zu, who was shot to pieces, knelt on the ground and then fell in a pool of his own blood, staring at the wall with his eyes open.

"Beta, confirm the situation."

Three people walked out from a corner of the first floor. There was still smoke coming out of their gun barrels, and some residual heat remained. They held their weapons cautiously and walked to Han Zu.

"Da da!"

"boom!"

After firing two more shots at Han Zu's heart and head, one of them squatted down cautiously to check, while the other two remained vigilant, their weapons always pointed at Han Zu.

"No heartbeat, breathing or pulse, confirmed kill."

Hearing this person's words, other people came out from various places in the restaurant one after another. Some checked their guns and weapons, and some held data terminals to confirm something. In the restaurant, which was not too big, there were more than 30 fully armed soldiers hiding.

A group of people came down from the second floor. Their clothes seemed a little different from others. They should be the responsible team.

"Put the wall up, how about the cargo?"

"It has been recycled, no problem."

“Where is the real lessee?”

"News came from there that he was killed."

"Killed? He did it?"

The person in charge pointed at Han Zu, who was beaten to a pulp on the ground.

"No, Howard broke into the barrier."

"Boss, take a look at this."

A soldier pointed at Han Zu who was standing at the feet of the person in charge. There was something abnormal about his blood. The color looked black, but it was actually a very dark green.

"Gamma Team, bring his body back. The guys in the Research Department should be very interested."

"Yes, boss."

Several team members returned to the restaurant, took out a bag specially used to store corpses and debris, stripped Han Zu clean, and put him inside while he was naked.

"Beta and Alpha teams stay to clean up the scene, and the rest of you evacuate."

"Yes, sir!"

A few minutes later, several armored trucks stopped in the parking lot outside the restaurant. The soldiers walked out of the restaurant one by one and boarded the armored trucks. Several soldiers from the Gamma team, carrying bags containing corpses, also boarded a armored truck.

Except for the two teams that stayed in the restaurant, everyone boarded the evacuation vehicles, quickly left here, and drove towards the location of the cross-sea bridge.

The convoy sped across the empty cross-sea bridge and soon approached the center of the bridge. The person in charge sitting in the lead car gave some orders through the radio in the car, and the convoy slowed down.

When the vehicle in which the person in charge was driving reached the center of the bridge, it began to disappear from the front of the vehicle, and soon the entire vehicle disappeared, and did not appear from the other side of the bridge. After the lead vehicle disappeared, the same thing happened to the second vehicle.

As the last car in the convoy disappeared, there were faint noises in the middle of the bridge that sounded like foam breaking.

"Buzz~"

A drone emerged from the clouds, also slowed down, and flew towards the center of the bridge, but it successfully arrived on the other side of the bridge and nothing happened.

"Buzz~"

The drone quickly took off and returned to the clouds. Together with a large number of its companions, it flew into the cargo hold of a transport plane that had appeared in the clouds at some unknown time. As the transport plane rose again and disappeared into the clouds, the sky returned to tranquility once again.

The previous restaurant.

Two teams of soldiers were cleaning up the scene. They were very skilled and quick, and it didn't take long for them to restore the restaurant to its original state. The captains of the two teams sat at a table and communicated with each other.

"We always have to do these hard work, and we don't know when it will end."

"Who says we are of low status? But think positively, at least our work is much more exciting than those clerks sitting behind desks, don't you think?"

"Tsk, you're right. Do you remember the employee in the data department? He has to process hundreds of documents a day. He told me that he has to process the same number of documents every day. Although it's not troublesome, he has to sit in a chair for more than ten hours."

"Tsk, that mountain of documents, even a dog would shake his head looking at it! It's not a job for humans, and their wages are low."

"Look, if you compare it this way, aren't we much better off? Shooting, killing, and cleaning up the scene, in fact, our average working hours a day are less than two hours, and our salary is several times more than those clerks."

"Hey! Now that you put it like that, our movements are pretty easy! But those of us who run field missions have high salaries, so that should be the reason why the risk factor is high, right?"

"We have been doing field work for so long, and it is basically a large-scale operation. It is impossible for anything to go wrong. Besides, I have never encountered any danger."

"That makes sense. Do you have a cigarette? I've run out of mine."

"Yes, let me see..."

The captain of the Alpha team fumbled for his cigarette but couldn't find it.

"Oh, I remember now. Before I went to the restaurant, I secretly smoked a cigarette in the kitchen. I left the cigarette box in the kitchen."

"You are really good at slacking off! Go quickly!"

"be right back!"

The captain of the Alpha team walked into the back kitchen of the restaurant, looking for the cigarette box he had forgotten there.

"I was thinking where I put it... Um... Ah! I found it, here it is!"

The cigarette box fell to the ground and the captain bent down to pick it up.

"bass!"

Something passed behind him, making some noise.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Picking up the cigarette box, the captain stood up again. He saw a very thin crack on the wall in front of him, but he didn't care.

Turning around, he found a crack on the wall behind him. Out of curiosity, the captain bent down slightly and checked the crack on the wall. Through the crack, the captain saw what was happening in the restaurant outside.

A figure stood beside the table where he was originally sitting, looking around. The captain of the Beta team who had talked to him before was still sitting in the same position, but at this moment, he had no head and only a cavity was left.

Captain Alpha instantly raised the automatic rifle hanging on his body and aimed it at the figure outside. The bullets used by this gun had strong enough penetrating power to kill the opponent through the wall.

"Da da da da da!"

The captain opened fire without hesitation. The bullets penetrated the wall and poured down on the figure. However, there was something abnormal about the figure, as if it was performing high-frequency movements.

"bass."

The figure in the restaurant noticed the direction from which the bullet came, raised a hand towards that place, stretched out his palm, pointed his fingertips in the direction of the captain, then turned his palm upward 90 degrees and made a stroke.

The captain felt something touching him and stopped firing. Just as he was about to move and change his position, his body suddenly trembled.

The captain's body was cut neatly in the middle, revealing two sides of the body. He fell to the sides, completely dead. There was also a vertical crack on the wall in front of him.

The figure in the restaurant seemed to have found a place of interest and walked over to observe it. After a while, he chuckled a few times and talked to himself.

"It's old-fashioned, but very practical. What a treacherous fellow."

The figure stopped talking to himself, walked out of the restaurant, and walked away along the road in front of the restaurant in the opposite direction of the cross-sea bridge.
