Fantasy Game: Infinite City

“Rustle, rustle…”

Somewhere in a swarm's nest, a few meters underground.

Garcia hid in an alien plant growing near the nest passage, observing the environment of the nest passage. Some alien insects were patrolling around the passage, and their different compound feet occasionally made some friction sounds when they walked.

The insect swarms on this planet are very strange, with all kinds of alien insects gathered together. Garcia couldn't help but think that there might be more than one so-called swarm queen. If they also live in groups, then this matter would be difficult to deal with.

"How to enter the nest is a problem. I need some help to lure away the swarm of insects guarding the entrance of the nest."

Just as Garcia was thinking about how to get them away, she suddenly felt that something seemed to have suddenly appeared a few hundred meters behind her.

After killing and absorbing many alien insects along the way, some of Han Zu's abilities appeared in Garcia. Although the power was very weak and could not be compared with Han Zu, it was still very useful to Garcia.

The strange feeling sent chills down Garcia's spine, and she quickly figured out what that sudden appearance might be.

"Damn it! They should have figured out I was lying to them!"

Garcia knew that he was in a very dangerous situation at the moment. The two women must have learned some news from somewhere. Judging from their behavior of following Garcia, they should know what happened to Han Zu, but they were not sure whether Han Zu was really "dead", otherwise they would have teleported directly to his side and silenced him.

There are only two ways to save his life. The first way is to find a way to make them believe that Han Zu is fine and is just hiding in the dark. The second way is to find a way to delay them, and it would be best to kill them to buy time for Han Zu to recover.

However, due to the information asymmetry, Garcia did not know what specific information the two women had obtained, so the first method was completely unacceptable. The tolerance rate was too low. As long as he said something wrong, he would die. Without the "container", even Han Zu might really die.

Although the second method is simple, it is quite difficult to execute. Apart from the ability to become invisible and shoot plasma rays from their eyes, the only thing Garcia knows is that they can teleport. As for whether they have other abilities, Garcia has no idea, and they will not be kind enough to tell Garcia.

"This nest and the queen of the hive inside should be a good helper. We must find a way to use them."

Taking advantage of the gap between the insect patrols, Garcia lowered her steps and walked through, carefully searching the various nests that the passage led to. She already had a plan in her mind. She now needed to find a cave where the insect eggs were stored, if there was one.

The two women with invisibility abilities behind them were gradually closing the distance between them and Garcia. The swarms of insects that occasionally collided with them head-on could not hold out for long under their control because their numbers were not large.

"They must be using this to locate me accurately, but I can't turn it off now, it's really annoying."

Garcia glanced at the control device in his hand and sped up his movements. When the distance between the two sides was only one or two hundred meters, Garcia successfully found a cave full of alien insect eggs.

This was already deep in the nest, so there weren't many other patrolling insect swarms around. After making sure that no one was looking towards her, Garcia used her shoulder cannon to randomly fire a shot at the center of the hatching eggs, destroying a number of them.

"Roar!!!!!"

The scorching plasma ball destroyed a lot of hatching eggs. I don't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, but some of the hatching eggs on the edge contained some alien insects that were basically hatched. Their hatching eggs were destroyed and slipped out. These alien insects with tenacious vitality suddenly screamed, as if expressing their dissatisfaction.

"Om~~"

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Garcia turned off the control device, making himself untraceable. The tremors in the nest passage and the dense sounds coming from deep in the passage indicated that a large swarm of insects was heading towards this hatchery.

"That should buy some time."

Garcia quickly left the hatchery and continued to move towards the deepest part of the nest along the silent passage. Soon, a large number of insects blocked the passage in front of the hatchery, temporarily blocking the two women who were following Garcia.

The swarm of insects was extremely angry because of the destruction of the hatching eggs. They roared and drilled into various branches of the passage, determined to find the murderer.

The swarm of insects spewed deadly poison gas while searching inside the nest. The huge number of insects soon filled the entire nest with poison gas. If there were someone near the nest entrance on the ground at this time, they could clearly see the poison gas pouring out of the cave entrance, which was very horrifying.

“Hiss~hiss~”

The two women behind him seemed to have their invisibility disturbed, and their figures would occasionally appear for a brief moment. This unknown disturbance slowed down their pace and gradually distanced them from Garcia.

Dodging a wave of angry insects, the two women spoke to each other in low voices.

"She turned off the system. There's a chance she could find us. We need to shorten the distance."

"Don't worry. The communicator I gave her also has a tracker. Although it is also interfered with, as long as the distance between us is no more than five kilometers, she won't be able to escape."

"Can you confirm Han Zu's condition?"

"He was indeed seriously injured, but he is not dead yet. Only part of his body should be left, and this part should have been transplanted or parasitized on that woman. From the information we got about that woman before, transplantation is more likely."

"Ah? How did you know? I remember this part wasn't in the video I watched before."

"Han Zu has some ability to absorb energy from any living thing and restore himself. After entering the nest, this woman killed and absorbed a lot of insect corpses. The reason why I didn't do it just now was that I wanted to see which part of the woman's body would change when absorbing the insect corpses, so as to find the real Han Zu. But we have been following her, and the woman rarely looks back. Now I can only be sure that the remaining part of Han Zu is not on the woman's back and limbs. It may be in the head or internal organs."

While following Garcia and observing, the two women discovered that the existence of these alien insect swarms would strangely interfere with electronic equipment and signals. This conclusion was drawn from the fact that after the insect swarms calmed down, the number of patrols decreased and the stealth ability was no longer interfered with.

"So the problem with the portal was because there were too many insect swarms near the portal at the time. Make a note of this and tell the board of directors."

"I thought you wanted to leave the board."

"If we can get rid of that woman and Han Zu in one fell swoop this time, I won't need to leave the board of directors. Of course, you don't have to worry about your identity. I will keep it confidential."

"More friends mean more paths. Thank you in advance."

The interference of the swarm weakened, and the two women's cloaking devices returned to normal. With their help, the two of them once again gradually narrowed the distance with Garcia.

Deep at the bottom of the hive passage.

Garcia came to the edge of a huge pit, which looked different from other places in the nest.

The pit was filled with living tissues similar to chitinous shells. These tissues took on strange shapes, as if they were long and thin cylinders made of countless tiny organisms. Fungal carpets grew like gauze and covered the surface, giving people a gloomy feeling.

At the deepest part of the pit, a huge, blurry black shadow was moving slowly. Its outline was vaguely visible, but its true appearance could not be seen clearly, which made people feel terrified. This black shadow seemed to have some mysterious connection with the living tissue around it, and its existence made the entire cave full of unknown dangers. An uncomfortable energy fluctuation came from below.

Lying on the edge of the deep pit and looking back to confirm that there were no other swarms of insects nearby, Garcia turned on the control device again and used the system to confirm whether the guy below was the queen of the swarm.

"Mission objective: Kill the queen of the swarm"

After confirming that the target was correct, she fired a shot at the wall of the pit, attracted the attention of the Zerg Queen, turned off the control device, took out the communicator that the two women had given her, threw it into the deep pit, hit the Zerg Queen, and then hid quickly before it discovered her.

“Hey…”

“Click…Click…”

The unpleasant voice of the Zerg Queen was heard from the bottom of the deep pit, followed by the feeling of the rock wall vibrating. Something was crawling up from the bottom of the deep pit. The edge of the deep pit would soon become unsafe. Garcia stood up decisively, quickly ran away from the edge of the deep pit, and found another place to hide.

As the vibrations slowly approached, four or five tank-sized alien Zergs climbed up the pit. These Zergs looked more powerful than ordinary insects. Their hard shells shone with a metallic luster, and their sharp jaws opened from time to time, emitting a terrifying aura. They searched everywhere, as if they were looking for something. Garcia watched their actions nervously, her heartbeat speeding up. She knew that once she was discovered, she would have a hard time escaping.

At this moment, one of the Zerg seemed to have noticed something and walked straight towards where Garcia was hiding. Garcia held his breath and remained still. It would be unwise to continue retreating now, as it would attract more attention.

Fortunately, however, the giant Zerg did not find her in the end, but turned around to search other locations. Garcia breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that the danger was not over yet. She had to find a way to provoke a fight between the two women and these powerful Zerg.

Garcia quietly went around to the other side and used Han Zu's ability to confirm the location of the two women. She planned to lead the Zerg to the direction of the two women. After all, the distance between the two women and herself was less than a hundred meters.

Garcia used the sharp bone fragment in his hand to slowly cut off a small piece of living tissue covered with fungal blanket, squeezed it into a ball, and threw it into the passage in the direction of the two women.

The sound of the living tissue colliding with the rock wall attracted the attention of these powerful Zergs. They immediately changed direction and chased after the source of the sound.

Garcia was secretly delighted that things were going as she expected. While these powerful Zergs had left the pit, Garcia took this opportunity to change her hiding place, and at the same time used Han Zu's ability to closely monitor the movements of the two women.

However, the stealth ability of the two women seemed not that simple. Using Han Zu's ability, Garcia sensed that those powerful Zerg passed by the position of the two women but did not discover them. After passing the Zerg, they also sped up.

Not long after, Garcia, who was hiding in the dark, used Han Zu's left eye to discover the space near the deep pit. The light was slightly distorted, and it should be the two women.

However, the two women did not rush into the deep pit, but began to search around the deep pit. However, before they could come to any results, the area around the deep pit began to shake again.

“Boom…Boom…”

Suddenly, a low roar was heard from the bottom of the huge pit. Then, the queen of the extremely large alien insect swarm slowly crawled out from the bottom of the pit, revealing her huge head. Her head was covered with a hard shell, flashing with a strange light.

The queen's head was huge and majestic, with dozens of compound eyes emitting cold light, scanning everything around. Each compound eye seemed to be an independent life form, closely observing the surrounding environment. Her mouth was open, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and from time to time, highly corrosive body fluids dripped from her mouth, corroding the ground and emitting a chilling breath.

With the appearance of the queen, the air around her suddenly became thick. The queen exuded a transparent gas that seemed to be poisonous. Her terrifying appearance and creepy voice declared her absolute authority in the nest.

Garcia was startled. She didn't expect the Queen of the Swarm to appear so soon. The two women were also obviously startled. They quickly retreated and tried to hide themselves.

However, it was unknown whether the Queen of the Swarm had some special ability or her powerful primitive instinct, but she seemed to have discovered them. Her huge head turned in their direction and a green poisonous mist spurted out of her mouth. The two women dodged quickly, but were still affected by the poisonous mist. Their cloaking devices seemed to be affected, and their figures were looming.

Garcia's position was pretty good, a hidden mezzanine above the rock wall. At this moment, it was impossible and unwise to leave the vicinity of the fight. Fortunately, she didn't want to leave too much, so she stayed and was a front-row spectator.

The queen of the alien insect swarm has confirmed that two invisible people are near her. Out of absolute confidence in her own strength, the arrogant queen even stopped climbing out of the deep pit. In her eyes, she only needs her head to easily tear apart the enemies in front of her, even if they have powerful invisibility abilities.

"Roar~!!!"

With a deafening roar, the doubles fight truly began. Garcia, hiding in the dark, watched the direction of the fight closely, ready to reap the benefits.
