Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 168 "Scavenger"

Airport Expressway.

Han Zu drove his car at high speed, and his speed had already exceeded the maximum speed limit. With his powerful perception ability, he was always able to avoid other vehicles in advance and approach Lijing Airport at a high speed. Originally, it would take two hours to reach the airport at normal speed, but now, after only more than 40 minutes, the outline of the airport could be seen from a distance.

"There shouldn't be anyone following you. There's no need for you to drive so fast."

"Don't worry, it won't affect the safety of the goods."

Keeping it as it was, Han Zu completed the rest of the journey in a very short time and arrived at the entrance of Lijing Airport. The person in charge had already greeted the personnel at the sentry post, so Han Zu's car was not inspected and was allowed in directly.

However, after entering the airport, Han Zuna did not send the two people to the designated plane as requested, but drove directly to the hangar of the private plane he had just obtained from the island. He boarded the plane and searched it, and then got the two people from the trunk onto the plane.

After observing that Han Zu did not act according to his request, the person in charge on the other side of the headset did not rush to point out Han Zu's mistake, but immediately began to question Han Zu.

"Did you find anything unusual?"

"Your question is quite out of touch. Have you ever thought that maybe I've gone crazy?"

"If that's the case, then both of them should have been killed by you by now. So, what exactly did you find unusual?"

As Han Zu gave instructions to the aircraft's control system, the plane drove out of the hangar, entered the runway and began to taxi. Han Zu looked to the right side of the window and saw the transport plane originally designated by the person in charge.

"If I remember correctly, most of Infinite's transport planes use energy engines. In that case, can you tell me what the fuel truck parked next to it is used for?"

"What?! But there are clearly no one from our group on the plane..."

"I also sensed a unique energy signal on the fuel truck, covering the transport plane and a small area around it. I'll give you a hint. The energy signal came from a force field generator."

"Marionette!"

"So that's what it's called. It's really easy to understand."

The voice from the person in charge became busy, as if he was giving some orders. When Han Zu's plane began to taxi on the runway, a large number of armed personnel could be seen running down from the originally scheduled transport plane and began to search everywhere. However, when they approached the fuel truck, Han Zu's plane had already taken off.

"You should be thankful that you temporarily changed the person who was supposed to carry out this mission to me. I guess the person who was supposed to carry out this mission, and even the route, had been leaked long ago."

"We did find the 'Marionette' on the fuel truck, and also on the vehicle originally used to carry out the mission. We also found people from the board of directors on the route we originally planned. Thank you very much for this time..."

The person in charge's voice soon sounded again from the headset, but due to the distance, it was soon cut off. However, just a few seconds after Han Zu took off his headset, a display screen on the private plane automatically turned on, and the person in charge's voice was heard again.

"But how did you avoid the board's surveillance?"

"Click...hiss...whoosh...simple. I have to thank you for this. It was because you sent a large number of people to monitor and track me that we were able to prevent those people on the board from interfering in the real world. Speaking of this, I have to thank you."

"We? What do you mean?"

"You don't understand? Let me put it simply. Even when I go to the toilet, your people follow me. How can anyone squeeze in at the board meeting?"

"...We won't even follow you to the bathroom."

"Give me an example."

The voice from the person in charge became noisy again. He should be dealing with the problems left over from Lijing Airport. However, he handled it very quickly, or perhaps he handed the matter over to someone else. It didn't take long before the voice of the person in charge sounded again.

"The plan has changed. The original unloading location is no longer confidential. I will send you the new location coordinates."

"You can just input it directly into the navigation system on the plane. You should have the authority to do so."

"Don't you have any opinion?"

"What can I say? Isn't this a daily routine for workers? Although it's temporary, don't forget that I'm also an employee of Infinite Company. Logically, we're colleagues, and you might even be my boss. I don't mind this little thing."

"But this plane does belong to you, so I still need to ask for your opinion."

"That's fine with me, but I want to say a few words. Although I like your style and attitude, I think you care too much about other people's feelings. You should change it and be tougher. Otherwise, how can you fight those guys on the board of directors? Those guys can do anything to achieve their goals. If you had followed the original plan this time, maybe the fuel truck and the plane would have been blown to pieces by now."

The mission went smoothly, and the person in charge seemed to relax and began to communicate with Han Zu.

"So, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"You mean in my style?"

"Correct."

"It's easy! Just find a group of people to fight those old guys on the board of directors, isn't that enough?"

"You mean, to confront the board head-on? That would be..."

"Head-on confrontation? No, I'm not talking about that metaphorically. I'm talking about that literally. I'm going head-on with them."

"...You mean to hire a group of assassins to carry out the assassination?! Then wouldn't we be the same as those guys on the board of directors?"

"No, why are you always so reserved? Reading too many books isn't a good thing. What I mean is, find an opportunity to gather them all together, such as a shareholders' meeting, and then make a powerful bomb to blow them all up at once. All the people who caused the problem will be dead, and then the problem will disappear, right?"

The person in charge suddenly fell silent, but Han Zu seemed not to have finished speaking.

"I know this approach may be radical, but kindness cannot influence the enemy. Only fools would do this."

"But we..."

"Of course, I also know that the board of directors is not stupid. It is impossible for them to all gather together. Therefore, the duty of the scavenger is very important. Although it is a bit troublesome, it can at least reduce a lot of trouble."

"About this..."

"Speaking of which, I'm actually quite curious. I've seen the scavengers on the board of directors several times. They're the assassins who can turn invisible and shoot plasma beams from their eyes. What are the employees in the scavenger department under the chairman like? If you agree, I think you can let me go there after I become a regular employee. I'm definitely a good hand at it."

"We... don't have scavengers, at least not the kind of executioner troops you mentioned."

"Oh, no... What the hell? No?!"

"According to your understanding, it should be the executioner. We don't have that kind of thing..."

"How can this be possible?! Then how do you deal with those diehards on the board and those guys who are always trying to make trouble?"

"We will control them. The worst that can happen is that we will just erase some of their memories. It would be enough to just kill them..."

"Oh! I see! There's still information to be gained, right?"

"No, I just simply feel that he shouldn't be killed..."

"Wait a minute."

Han Zu's expression suddenly became serious. He took out his phone and opened a file. It was the contract clause that appeared when Infinite City was registered. He scrolled to the middle, which was the clause that said "After the player dies, he voluntarily donates his body to Infinite Company."

"Didn't you make this rule?"

“No, it’s the board of directors.”

"Then, you told me that the chairman has no scavengers under his command, right?"

"According to what you said, he should be the executioner... But, there really isn't one."

"Did you have any hands on these bodies?"

"Yes, but most of them are handled by the board of directors. Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Han Zu remained silent. After a few minutes, he spoke again.

"Are you at a level that allows you to contact the chairman? Or does your boss have this authority?"

"Okay. We are not like the board of directors. We don't divide people into different levels. Do you want to contact the chairman?"

"Well, it would be best if I could talk to him now."

After thinking about it, the person in charge had no idea what Han Zu was going to do next, but he felt a little nervous, thinking that Han Zu was going to do something surprising. However, the chairman attached great importance to Han Zu, so the person in charge still called the chairman's hotline.

"speak."

"Chairman, Han Zu wants to speak to you."

"Han Zu? Bring him in."

In the next half hour, Han Zu made a series of suggestions to the chairman. Since neither Han Zu nor the chairman asked for confidentiality, the person in charge did not leave the communication channel. The person in charge himself, including his employees, heard the specific content of the conversation. After hearing Han Zu's suggestions, all the people who had their own jobs gradually quieted down.

Including the person in charge, everyone seemed to be in sync with each other. Cold sweat ran down their foreheads and their backs felt cold. They didn't even dare to confirm that the conversations they heard were spoken by real people.

"That's all I can think of for now, but it should be more perfect as work progresses. What do you think, Chairman? Can my suggestion be adopted?"

As a very shrewd person, the chairman certainly knew that what Han Zu said was not entirely wrong. In fact, in some places, what he said was very correct. However, his self-esteem as a human being did not allow him to adopt all of Han Zu's suggestions.

After weighing the pros and cons, the chairman fell silent. For a moment, the communication channel suddenly became quiet, with only the occasional sound of Han Zu puffing out smoke. After a long time, the chairman's voice appeared again, but this time it was much lower, a feeling of exhaustion that only appears after a person has been tortured by his thoughts and humanity.

"I will have your contract modified to make you a formal employee, but I will not agree to your suggestion to set up a new department."

"Huh... okay then." Han Zu sounded a little frustrated.

"But what you said is not entirely unreasonable. Although I will not set up the new department you suggested, I can set up a position specifically for you. I can do this as you said. Of course, I will make some necessary changes."

"Then thank you, boss, haha."

"Han Zu, if you become the manager of the cemetery, will you set up the department you just imagined? No... No, you should make the cemetery exactly as you imagined, right?"

The chairman suddenly mentioned another organization. It was the one that appeared with the Rat Extermination Company when Han Zu entered the old city a long time ago. At that time, the Rat Extermination Company had not yet been controlled by the board of directors, and it was not what it is now.

"Cemetery? Are they your men? As I recall, I was the head of the external affairs department of the cemetery, but I never had the time to complete that mission."

"I guess so, but it doesn't matter now. Your contract change will be completed in an hour. Calculating the time, it should be completed by the time your plane lands. By then, your position will be higher than the head of the Ministry of External Affairs."

After confirming the change of the contract, the chairman left the communication channel. The person in charge wanted to say something to Han Zu, but another important communication made the person in charge leave the communication channel as well.

The communication channel was closed. Han Zu stretched and stood up from his seat. The plane was running very smoothly and he could not feel it at all. Han Zu walked to the two tied up targets and took off the towels stuffed in their mouths. When they got on the plane just now, the two people had been struggling and making humming sounds in their mouths. They must have wanted to say something. But now it was unusually quiet.

"Come on, you two. We didn't have time just now. What do you want to say now?"

The two shook their heads like rattles, trying to force out a smile, and assured that it was just because they were tied up in an uncomfortable position that they felt uncomfortable during takeoff, but now they are much better. Han Zu untied their restraints and took a bathrobe from the plane for the naked target person to wear. After that, the two sat in other seats very quietly. Apart from fastening their seat belts and lying on the seats, they did not make any extra movements.

Of course, this was not what the two people originally meant. They wanted to protest against Han Zu's rude treatment of them and even wanted to curse him. They were clearly ready to cooperate with the chairman's faction and should not receive such unfair treatment. Even if it was not worthy of a grand sedan chair, at least he should be polite and pick them up in a luxury car.

However, when they heard Han Zu's series of "suggestions" to the chairman that should never be spoken, they immediately gave up the idea and felt that their current treatment was very good. Especially the guy in front of them, who was smoking cigarettes, drinking red wine, and eating steak, and he was so excited when he said those "suggestions".

"Would you two like to eat something? We still have...an hour or two to get there."

"No, no! We are fine! Thank you for your concern!"

"Then I'll take a nap first. Call me if you need anything."

After putting out his cigarette, Han Zu fell asleep soon.

The two target persons would not disturb his sleep. If possible, they even hoped that this guy would never wake up.
