Fantasy Game: Infinite City

One early morning a few days later.

Han Zu was wearing only a pair of pajamas, slumped over a dissecting table in a laboratory in a secret base of the scientific research department. His head was sticking out of the table, with a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth. From a distance, one would have thought he was a headless corpse with smoke coming out of the neck.

After Han Zu came back from the Aurora Hotel, he did not go home. He thought it was troublesome to travel back and forth, so he simply lived in the secret base of the research department. Although his sleeping place was completely irregular, he would always scare the new or timid researchers, but Han Zu also helped them a lot here, so no one wanted to drive Han Zu away. It was just a tacit agreement that before the researchers took their positions every morning, they would first check the monitoring equipment to see where Han Zu was, so as not to scare the newcomers. Some guys who liked and admired Han Zu for some unknown reason even customized several sets of clothes for him with special materials. The pajamas that Han Zu was wearing now, which could fully withstand Han Zu's current strength, were one of them.

For some reason, Han Zu was able to sleep well in every place in the research base and never had trouble sleeping. But today was strange. He just couldn't sleep. Even after he used all the facilities in the base and completely consumed all his energy and felt extremely tired, it was still the same.

Han Zu didn't care where he slept. He had even slept in the incinerator inside the base for two days. This kind of dissection table was child's play.

"Clang!"

Han Zu turned over on the dissecting table, but seemed to have accidentally knocked something to the ground.

"Ugh."

Han Zu stretched out his hand in the direction where the sound last sounded. Some tentacles slowly grew out and spread toward the ground. He really didn't want to move. And since Han Zu had not fully recovered from his fatigue, the tentacles moved much slower this time.

A few minutes later, the tentacles reached the predetermined position. He controlled the tentacles to touch the ground casually and touched a rectangular object. After waiting for another minute or two, Han Zu's tentacles rolled up the rectangular object and retracted it.

Turning his head and taking a glance, he saw a portable personal terminal, which must have been left here by a researcher when he left. Han Zu used his tentacles to put it on a shelf not far away and left it alone.

“Hiss… Huh…”

After taking two deep puffs of the remaining half cigarette, Han Zu extinguished the butt on his forehead. Then he flicked the butt and it fell into the ashtray on the table on the other side of the room. Han Zu looked around for a few times, then lay down on the dissecting table and closed his eyes.

Although Han Zu didn't actually need sleep to recover, sleeping was one of his biggest hobbies and habits, and there was really nothing to do at the moment. However, even though Han Zu hadn't fully recovered from his fatigue, he still couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking that he might have been too excited at some point before and had not yet fully come out of that state, Han Zu used the tentacles that stretched out from various parts of his body to pull up a piece of black cloth piled at the end of the dissecting table and used it as a quilt to cover his head. This was originally used to cover corpses. Of course, Han Zu's this was new.

Lying flat on his back like a corpse without moving, Han Zu began to empty his mind and stop thinking about anything, thinking that maybe he would be able to fall asleep this way.

This did have some effect. After more than ten minutes, the sleepiness that had not appeared for a long time really came to Han Zu. As the sleepiness gradually rose, Han Zu entered a wonderful state between half asleep and half awake, and fell into a light sleep.

“Tread…Tread…”

Above the secret base, on the side of the large lifting platform, there is the operating room that controls the lifting platform. There are two sentries in it. Unnaturally, both of them are asleep. One of the sentries even drools, which is not normal. Outside the door of the operating room, there are slight footsteps.

“Click… Click.”

The explosion-proof door that was originally locked from the inside was quietly unlocked from the outside.

“Squeak…”

Although the movement of pushing the door open was very slow, due to the weight of the explosion-proof door, it still made some noise. After the sound appeared, the movement of the door stopped, but the sentry who had fallen asleep inside was not awakened by the sound and was still sleeping soundly.

"Squeak..."

The explosion-proof door was pushed open a little further. This time, a slender figure squeezed in from the gap in the door, tiptoed to the side of the two sentinels, and reached out to their waists, where there were two sentinel authority cards that could manually open some of the blocked doors of the base.

Gently taking the sentry's authority card off their waist chain, the slender figure slowly left the operation room, closed the explosion-proof door again, restored the door lock from the outside, and locked it again from the inside.

Holding the authorization card, the slender figure tiptoed quietly to the back of the operation room, where there was a special elevator for sentries, which could go directly from the ground to the secret base below.

“Sizzle…drop!”

After scanning the permission card, the dedicated elevator began to descend quietly without disturbing anyone, and because the sentry's permission card was used, no alarm was triggered either.

"Buzz..."

A few minutes later, the sentry's elevator went down to the bottom floor and arrived at the gate of the secret base. On the side of the base gate, the slender figure took advantage of the darkness and used the sentry's authority card to open the small door next to it. Before the surveillance device turned here, he quickly entered the small door and gently closed it.

Since there are currently no researchers in the base, and all areas are locked down with gates closed, the lighting system is completely non-functional. There are only some infrared monitors on the surface, with faint red lights on in twos and threes.

However, this slender figure seemed to be particularly familiar with the surveillance equipment inside the base. He bypassed all the obvious surveillance and even the surveillance equipment in the dark. He passed through one blind spot after another and quickly moved through the closed areas of the base. Even when he reached the gate, he simply used the sentry's authority card to open the small door.

After more than ten minutes, they finally passed through the multiple blockades at the entrance of the base and came to an empty space. The figure took something out from behind and rolled from the ground to the middle of the space.

"laugh....."

That thing seemed to be a special smoke-generating device, spreading some special smoke in all directions. After a few seconds, within the range of the smoke, some tiny lights that were originally invisible to the naked eye could be seen, densely filling the entire space in front of them. Their positions changed every two seconds. It should be a detection device connected to an alarm. It would be very difficult to pass through this space and reach the main area of ​​the base without triggering the alarm.

However, this did not seem to be a problem for the mysterious slender figure. He walked a few cautious steps along the right side of the wall, stretched out his hand and pressed a certain position on the wall. A hidden control panel suddenly appeared on the wall.

He first swiped the permission card obtained from the sentry, and then skillfully entered a password on the virtual button. The alarm device was quickly deactivated, and the figure quickly passed through the space in front of him, not forgetting to take back the used smoke device, and passed through the sentry passage and quickly entered the main area of ​​the base.

The interconnected, winding, maze-like corridors did not pose any difficulty for the slender figure. He passed through each passage with ease, as if he had walked there hundreds of times, avoiding the locations of various monitoring systems, and entered the core area of ​​the base. He then began to search each laboratory one by one using the sentry's authority card.

The figure seemed to be very purposeful, searching only some research rooms and laboratories with dissection tables, and only in one area. It seemed that the mysterious figure was very sure of what he was looking for. Soon, the mysterious figure found a laboratory numbered "γ-C-103".

It was very strange. Although all the lighting equipment in the base was turned off, the dim and dark environment seemed to have no effect on the slender figure. Avoiding all obstacles, the figure quickly walked to the front of a shelf. On the middle layer here, there was a portable personal terminal.

The slender figure let out a light breath, looked back around, and found nothing unusual, so he picked up the terminal, opened it, and began to search for something on it.

Holding the portable personal terminal, the figure paced in the laboratory with his head lowered, and slowly walked to the vicinity of the dissection table.

"boom."

As his attention was focused on the terminal, the mysterious slender figure accidentally touched the shelf next to the dissecting table. A research instrument seemed to be placed unstable and fell to the ground.

The figure immediately threw the terminal in his hand onto the dissection table next to him, reached out and grabbed the research instrument without letting it fall to the ground and make a sound, slowly picked it up, put it back on the shelf, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

After calming down, the slender figure looked at the dissecting table. Under the black cloth should be a corpse that had not been fully studied. Fortunately, it served as a buffer, otherwise if the terminal hit the metal dissecting table, it would probably make a sound and trigger an alarm.

Picking up the portable terminal on the black cloth, the slender figure seemed to be curious and quietly lifted a corner of the black cloth covering the corpse. He saw some muscles underneath. They looked very hard and seemed to have a rock-like texture. It was probably another special species obtained from somewhere.

Putting down the black cloth, the figure simply sat on the edge of the dissecting table and continued to check the information on the terminal. It can be seen that this mysterious slender figure is checking a route map inside the base. At the end is marked a special room, which contains one of the base's medium-sized transmission devices.

The thin figure found another file on the terminal, which was about a special living specimen, which looked like a deformed fetus with dry skin and full of wrinkles, which made people feel uncomfortable. However, this thing seemed to be the target of the mysterious figure.

Standing up from the dissecting table, the mysterious slender figure walked back to the shelf where he had just taken the portable personal terminal. After exiting the index, he turned off the terminal's screen, put it back in place, and then quietly left the laboratory with the dissecting table.

However, just a few seconds after the thin mysterious figure left, the "corpse" covered by the black cloth sat up quietly without any warning. It pulled away the black cloth, quickly left the dissection table, and walked to the terminal.

Han Zu reopened the terminal and looked through the index records to find out what the mysterious slender figure had looked at. Using his perspective and perception abilities, he immediately determined the location the figure was heading for and the target he wanted to achieve based on the route the figure had taken. After all, Han Zu had been in this base for several days and was very familiar with its structure.

Han Zu put down the terminal, turned off the screen, and immediately lowered his footsteps, quietly but quickly following. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the core area of ​​the base, he arrived at the laboratory where the "freak" was stored first.

Entering the laboratory, Han Zu placed the "freak" and the culture tank into the ventilation duct high up in the room, and closed the door of the ventilation duct again. He left a few tentacles there for safety reasons, then left the laboratory and took a shortcut to the laboratory where the transmission device was located.

When Han Zu entered the teleportation laboratory, he observed through his perspective and perception that the mysterious thin figure had entered the laboratory where the "deformed fetus" was stored and was searching for it. Taking this opportunity, Han Zu came to the teleportation device, opened its energy furnace, took out the reactor core, and used the special energy-absorbing ability he had obtained from the mysterious black shadow to absorb all the energy in the reactor. He completely restored his energy state, and even had a lot of excess energy stored.

After putting the reactor core back into the energy furnace and restoring the transmission device to its original state, Han Zu returned to the original route and came to the research room where the "freak" was stored. He found a laboratory at random and walked in, hiding inside. Using his perspective and perception abilities, he closely watched the movements of the mysterious slender figure near the "freak", and was ready to use the pillar of fire to knock down this mysterious man at any time.

Through his perspective, Han Zu saw that the mysterious figure seemed anxious and frustrated. He had searched all the places in the laboratory, but did not find the location of the "deformed fetus". After thinking for a while, the thin mysterious figure seemed to give up the search for the "deformed fetus", quietly restored the laboratory to its original state, and left there to the location of the teleportation laboratory.

When the slender figure walked away, Han Zu quietly followed him and followed him to the outside of the teleportation laboratory. After the figure went in and focused his attention on the teleportation device, Han Zu quietly opened the door of the laboratory, lowered his body, crouched down and sneaked in quietly, and silently locked the door of the teleportation laboratory from the inside.

"Damn it! Without energy, I have to find a way to activate the teleporter!"

The mysterious slender figure complained in a low voice, stood up, and prepared to leave here to find the switch that controlled the power of the laboratory. However, just as he stood firm, he felt the sudden muffled breathing behind him.

Before he could turn around, two hard and strong muscular arms strangled the slender figure's neck. He wanted to struggle, but the person who strangled him was very experienced. In just a few seconds, the oxygen was completely cut off. He might die if he didn't struggle, but if he struggled, he might be strangled to death due to lack of oxygen. The moment the slender figure hesitated, it was too late. The sudden and rapid lack of oxygen caused Han Zu to strangle the mysterious slender figure to unconsciousness in a very short time.

Carrying the thin figure who had fainted due to lack of oxygen, Han Zu left the laboratory of the transmission device and went to a research room that studied fixing tools such as anchors. There were a large number of sturdy metal chains made of special metals, ropes made of composite materials, and many restraint tools used for interrogation.

Han Zu tied the slender figure tightly to a dissecting table, put a black bag used for medical waste on the figure's head, and then sat on a chair next to it.

"Heh... I'm feeling sleepy. Let me take a nap first."

The figure tied to the dissecting table was very sleepy and couldn't run away, so Han Zu lay down and quickly fell asleep on the ground.
