Fantasy Game: Infinite City

the next morning.

Han Zu's phone rang, and the voice on the other end sounded like the middle-aged man he had met at the Infinite City branch before. The other party told him that the contract had been approved by the head office, and from now on, Han Zu was a temporary employee of the Infinite Company and could log in to the Infinite City again.

After hanging up the phone, Han Zu did not rush to log into the Infinite City. Instead, he logged into the forum and took a look. He found that there was an Infinite Company logo on his account, and the account attributes had also become an authorized account. Ordinary players not only could not view Han Zu's account, they couldn't even search for it.

There were also some changes in his account data. The original skills, weapons, and even the body transformation interface unlocked by achieving hidden achievements were gone and turned blank. Although he could still use those abilities now, Han Zu had no doubt that these abilities would disappear after he logged into the Infinite City again.

"That is to say, now except for me, the two hounds, the Gift of the Dead Realm, and the absorbed black shadow's abilities, all other abilities will be taken away after you land in the Infinite City, right?"

"Almost. But even so, I still have to land in the Infinite City. Otherwise, I don't know what to do next."

"What specific changes have occurred after you absorbed the gifts of the Death Realm this time? After you entered the empty state before, the two hounds and I temporarily lost consciousness for a period of time. The two Death Realm hounds were also absorbed into your body for a period of time."

"I'm not sure yet. Although according to what you said, my eyes were open at the time, but I felt like I fell asleep suddenly. I don't know what happened exactly. Maybe we need to do some tests to figure it out."

As he spoke, Han Zu stood up from the sofa, stretched his body, then walked straight to the game cabin of Infinite City and lay down.

"Are you sure you want to land in Infinite City now? Should we think of some countermeasures? After all, we don't know what Infinite Company has prepared for you?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes. You won't know until you get in."

"At least take me with you, maybe I can help you with something."

Han Zu thought about it and refused Garcia's help.

"You stay here for now. I'll leave the two hounds with you. Maybe you can be my trump card and play an important role at a critical moment. I'll just take a look at it myself this time."

After explaining a few things, Han Zu opened the game cabin and logged into the Infinite City. Although he was not clear about the exact time during the login process, Han Zu could feel that this login took longer than any previous time.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Zu finally and officially entered the Infinite City. This time, the place where Han Zu appeared was no longer the familiar player lobby, but a completely unfamiliar scene.

Han Zu was currently in an extremely dim room, lying on an old retro-style sofa. Although the sofa was old, it was very clean.

When he opened the system panel, he found that all his abilities and weapons had disappeared. Now he had nothing but the map. However, the map was also pitch black. It seemed that he had to explore it himself before it would be recorded on the map.

Han Zu lay on the sofa without rushing to move. He looked around. The room was very dark. Now Han Zu, using normal vision, could only see an outline next to the sofa. It should be a wooden coffee table or a small table.

He tried to use the power of his eyes again and succeeded. This time the darkness could no longer block Han Zu's sight.

"It seems that the ability of night vision is also part of the gift of death. This is quite convenient."

Glancing around, he found that the room was not very big and there were not many furnishings. Apart from the sofa where Han Zu was currently lying and a wooden coffee table next to the sofa, there was almost nothing else in the room.

On the coffee table was a cigarette case with three or four packs left in it, and next to it was an ashtray filled with cigarette butts. Because it was too full, a few cigarette butts fell on the coffee table. An old-fashioned lighter was placed on a pack of cigarettes with a few cigarettes smoked.

On the other side of the coffee table, there was a half-meter-long machete. There were some dried bloodstains on the blade, which looked very old. The handle was wrapped with a cloth strip. Judging from the way it was wrapped, the owner of the weapon should cherish it very much. However, it seemed that he was not very good at taking care of the blade.

Under the coffee table, there were some animal traps piled up. Some barbs were welded on the serrations of the traps. The barbs were covered with rust and some dried blood. It looked like they had been used many times. No matter what was caught by these traps, their end must have been not very good.

Han Zu sat up from the sofa and looked at his body. He was wearing a pair of overalls full of patches. The color should be black, and there were at least dozens of stitches of varying sizes on them. Logically, these pants should have been thrown away long ago, but the fact that they were still being worn proved that these pants must have some very important commemorative significance.

On the side of the sofa, next to the pile of animal traps on the coffee table, there was a pair of sturdy round-toed work boots. The head and heel parts were welded with solid metal, which made the shoes more sturdy and also very heavy. Han Zu picked them up and weighed them. Each shoe weighed at least five kilograms.

After putting on the sturdy boots, Han Zu moved his feet to try them out. Considering his physical fitness, the weight of the boots was not a big problem for him. However, when he stepped on the solid ground and the floor, there were some metal knocking sounds. Although they felt a bit heavy, they were very comfortable to wear.

Taking the cigarette from the coffee table and lighting it, Han Zu sat on the sofa and continued to look around while puffing out smoke. He found a belt in the gap of the sofa. The belt was made of some solid metal plates strung together. There was a metal column with a small ball on the belt buckle. There were some small holes and grooves on each metal plate that made up the belt, which should be used to fix the belt.

After putting on the belt, Han Zu stood up and walked around the room, making some sounds of metal rubbing against the floor. It sounded like the wooden floor. Han Zu looked down and saw quite a few scratches on the floor, two of which had very dense scratches.

One of the places was a door. Han Zu walked over and opened it. There was a toilet inside. The toilet was not big, only about two or three square meters. In addition to the toilet and sink, there was only a mirror with a broken edge.

Looking in the mirror, Han Zu saw his current appearance clearly. His naked upper body was muscular and covered with scars of various sizes. Judging from the appearance of the scars, most of them were lacerations, and there were also some puncture wounds. There were also some gunshot wounds on the chest. Judging from the size of the gunshot scars on the chest, the caliber of the bullet was not small. It should be the mark left by a high-powered sniper rifle or a heavy machine gun.

He was about two meters tall, had no hair, his eyes were originally very cloudy, and there were many scars on his face. His appearance had nothing to do with Han Zu. His entire chin was replaced by solid metal. When he opened his mouth, he saw a mouth full of metal teeth, and not a single one was a normal tooth.

Han Zu's overall appearance now looks like a vicious serial killer who has killed countless people. His appearance can no longer be described as beautiful or ugly, but only vicious.

Han Zu's voice also changed. His originally deep voice became even deeper and hoarser. It sounded like a horrible monster lurking in the darkness in a horror story. Even the thick-skinned Han Zu found the voice a little creepy.

"I'd better try to talk less."

Leaving the toilet, he returned to the room and walked to the other side where there were more scratches. There was a door curtain made of rags. He pushed aside the door curtain and saw a staircase leading up. Compared to Han Zu's current body size, the staircase was much narrower and he had to lean sideways to go up. On the wall next to the door curtain, there was a hook with a sturdy bag hanging on it. The dried blood had changed its color and the original color could no longer be seen.

Han Zu took the bag and sat back on the sofa. He found that the bag was just the right size to hold three animal traps, and the metal hook at the mouth of the bag could be tightened and tightened, which could also be hung on his belt.

After installing the trap and hanging it on his belt, Han Zu stuffed a pack of cigarettes and an old-fashioned lighter into the pocket of his overalls. He picked up the machete on the coffee table, stood up and prepared to go to the top of the stairs to take a look.

He walked up the stairs sideways. At the end of the stairs was a wooden door. The door was not locked and was easily pushed open. After walking out of the wooden door, Han Zu looked around and found himself in an abandoned house. The room he was in just now should be the basement of this house.

After spending some time searching the house, Han Zu summarized some information based on what he saw. The house was very large and should be the main building of a manor. The size of the building was much larger than the mansion Han Zu had visited before. There were many signs of burning on the walls of most of the rooms, and most of the things inside were debris. There must have been a large fire here.

"But logically, a fire of this magnitude should have burned down this building as well, but it didn't collapse, which is a bit strange."

Inside the entire building, except for the basement he was in just now, there was no sign of any activity. It seemed that he was the only one here. After exploring the map of the entire building, Han Zu decided to leave the building and go out to take a look.

"Strange, why doesn't this building have a door leading to the outside?"

It's strange. Han Zu walked around several times. The whole building has five floors except for the basement and attic, but there is no door leading to the outside anywhere. This is very wrong.

"Can't I go out?"

Han Zu still felt that he should not be restricted to moving around in the building, so he came to the attic and looked out through the attic window.

Similar to what Han Zu guessed, this building was indeed the main structure of a huge manor. The manor was very dilapidated, with collapsed building fragments everywhere, and horticultural plants that were not taken care of and were growing wildly but had strong vitality.

The attic window was still intact, and Han Zu tried to open it without any obstruction. However, the hinges were a little rusty, so there was always some harsh friction noise when opening the window.

The attic window was not very big, and Han Zu had no way to get out from here. Not knowing what was outside, Han Zu did not try to break down the wall, but left the attic and chose to go to the first floor.

The windows on the first floor were much larger, allowing Han Zu to pass through normally. However, all the windows on the first floor, regardless of size, were nailed shut with sturdy wooden boards, and there was a layer of wooden boards inside and outside. The outer layer looked very new, and it should have been replaced not long ago.

To Han Zu, these wooden boards were no different from a piece of paper, but in order not to make too much noise, Han Zu chose to spend some time to remove them one by one and found an exit.

After opening the window, Han Zu thought for a while, went back to the basement and got another trap. After leaving the building through the window, he set a trap at the entrance of the cave and camouflaged it with the wooden boards next to it to make the trap less easily discovered.

As for the traps in the bag around his waist, Han Zu didn't know when they would be needed, so there was no need to use them here.

The moon in the sky was very big, but strangely, the moonlight seemed to have no effect and did not illuminate the manor. The manor was still very dark, but fortunately for Han Zu, darkness was not a problem.

The manor covers a large area, and Han Zu can't see the end at a glance. Beyond the limit of his visual ability, everything seems to be covered by a layer of black fog, and he can't see anything. However, after walking past, nothing happened.

The manor is surrounded by a solid metal fence wrapped with sharp barbed wire. The fence is very high and it is generally difficult to climb over it. The main gate of the manor is wrapped with several layers of iron chains, but there is no lock. As long as you spend some time untying the chains, you can easily open the gate, but it will inevitably make a lot of noise.

The manor was relatively intact. In addition to the main building, there was a stable without a roof and a half-burned barn. What surprised Han Zu was that there was a living horse in the stable.

This horse looked very wrong. It had a pair of red eyes with no pupils at all, and they were larger than the average horse. This horse was jet black all over, with well-developed muscles. It was a mare. On its back was a saddle that looked like it was made of a bunch of parts, and a rein that seemed to be stained with dried blood.

The horse was very quiet. After Han Zu approached her, he touched her fur. The horse behaved very docilely and rubbed Han Zu's scarred hand with her head. Han Zu found that the horse was not tied to the stable, but was staying there quietly by herself.

I checked the saddle. Under the saddle made of technical parts, there is a thick leather saddle pad, which feels very soft. However, there are no pedals connected to the saddle, so if you want to ride steadily, you have to rely entirely on your leg muscles.

After stroking the horse and leading her out of the stable by the reins, Han Zu climbed onto the horse and sat on the saddle. The horse was very docile and did not resist. Han Zu patted the horse's neck, gently squeezed his legs, and let her walk slowly.

With a mount, Han Zu found it much easier to navigate this huge manor. He rode his horse to a half-burned barn, dismounted and walked into the barn. There were some hay blocks and some bags of salt and sugar inside, which was a bit strange.

"They are all horse feed. Why are they placed in the barn instead of the stable? Is it because the stable has no roof? But there is no horse trough in the stable, nor here. Instead, it is next to the main building. What kind of structure is this?"

The whole manor seemed to be a little off, but there was no clue for the time being. Han Zu took a small bag of salt and sugar, carried a large piece of hay, and walked out of the barn. Although the horse was not tied, it did not run away and was still standing there.

"Eat. I don't know if anyone will feed you. Maybe you've been hungry for a long time."

The horse was very docile, gently eating the salt and sugar in Han Zu's hand, as well as the hay that Han Zu fed her. If it weren't for the weird environment and the terrifying appearance of Han Zu and the horse, this would have been a very heartwarming scene.

After feeding the horse, Han Zu wanted to give her some water, but there was no water source or container to store water in the manor. Instead, there was a well not far from the gate of the manor, which seemed to be usable.

"What kind of genius layout is this? Why is the well built outside the manor?"

Leading the horse to the gate, Han Zu untied the chain on the gate and went to the well outside the manor to fetch a few buckets of water to feed the horse. There was nothing to explore in the manor, so Han Zu saw a path outside the manor gate and decided to take a look along it.

"Snapped!"

But before he set off, Han Zu heard a clear sound in the distance. Judging from the direction of the sound, it seemed to come from the main building of the manor in the distance. Han Zu was sure that he could never hear a sound from such a distance before, and he did not think that this was the "compensation" of the Infinite Company. After eliminating these factors, it should be the ability brought by the increased concentration after absorbing part of the Gift of the Dead Realm this time.

He jumped on the horse, swung the reins and squeezed his legs lightly. The horse started to run quickly towards the direction where the sound came from. Because he was not sure where the sound came from, Han Zu did not let the horse run at full speed, but just a little faster than normal.

Soon, Han Zu returned to the main building of the manor and began searching.
