Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 21 Mutation

"His!"

Han Zu, along with a large amount of sand, fell into the huge mouth of the desert worm. The sharp teeth of the desert worm scratched Han Zu's clothes. Relying on the brief suspension in the air, Han Zu grabbed one of the teeth of the desert worm and hung on it before his clothes were completely torn.

A hand tore off the torn shirt, and the clothes fell into the darkness along the worm's abyss-like gullet.

The worm's mouthparts closed tightly, and its sharp teeth squeezed Han Zu's body like a meat grinder. However, Han Zu's body was extremely strong, and the intense friction between the worm's teeth and Han Zu's skin produced dazzling sparks.

Before the worm tried for the second time, Han Zu spread his arms like a jack to support the worm's mouthparts, so that it could not close. Taking advantage of the gap, Han Zu grabbed the worm's teeth and slowly moved outward. The worm seemed to have noticed the movement of the prey in its mouth, and plunged into the desert. A large amount of gravel flowed into its body through its big mouth. The fast-moving gravel made Han Zu unable to open his eyes, and he stopped moving temporarily.

The worm moved quickly in the desert, and it was unknown how far it had gone. Gradually, its speed slowed down, and the sand in its mouth slowed down. Han Zu opened his eyes.

It was very dark around, probably because they were under the desert, but Han Zu could still see the surrounding situation clearly. The worms were moving much slower, probably because they were tired.

Han Zu grabbed the worm's teeth and moved slowly outward. Soon, he reached the worm's mouth and was only one or two steps away from leaving the worm's body.

However, suddenly, an inexplicable force attacked Han Zu's body, impacting his whole body. His brain was like a pulse, constantly receiving the impact, his ears were buzzing, his body became limp, he lost strength, and soon he was about to lose his will.

Han Zu could only stick his body between the worm's teeth and silently endure the changes in his body, but it seemed that fate was playing a joke on him.

Han Zu could feel a worm suddenly emerging from the desert. Its huge body briefly paused in mid-air. The worm's big mouth opened, and a large amount of sand and gravel fell down. Most of Han Zu's body was suspended in mid-air, with only one arm, which he had to use almost all his strength to resist the impact on his brain and barely grab the worm's teeth.

The tough fight with his body made Han Zu in a very bad state. The buzzing sound in his ears had blocked his hearing. Except for the palm holding the worm's teeth, the rest of his body was almost numb. His eyes were black and he couldn't see clearly. Han Zu could feel that the palm he could still control was also slowly paralyzed. If this continued, he would soon lose control.

"boom!"

Something hit Han Zu's face, probably the worm's prey.

"It could be some animal."

This was the last thing Han Zu thought of before he lost consciousness and fell into the worm's body.

Han Zu was impacted by the inexplicable force in his body and finally hit in the face by the worm's prey. He temporarily lost consciousness and fell towards the worm's digestive system.

The other side of the desert.

Ever since Han Zu led away the giant desert worm, Lu An and the middle-aged man have been much safer. After walking forward for a while, they found the two camel-like creatures that had run away before next to a huge desert plant. With the mount, they moved much faster.

The two hounds stood in front and behind, acting as scouts and guards. Judging from their condition, it seemed that their owner was not in any danger, which made Lu An feel a lot more at ease.

There was nothing unusual on the way for the next two days, but the food and water were almost exhausted. During this time, the middle-aged man tried to pick the fruits from desert plants such as cacti and aloe vera as food. Although they could serve as food and replenish water, to be honest, the taste was really not very good. After picking some fruits as backup food, Lu An and the middle-aged man continued to move in the desert.

When the fifth night fell, Lu An and the middle-aged man set up camp next to a desert plant to rest. The two hounds seemed to smell something, and one of them waited until Lu An and the middle-aged man fell asleep, then ran out.

The next morning, Lu An and the middle-aged man discovered that there was a new creature among them, an animal that looked like a rabbit. A hound was holding it with its paw, controlling its movements.

It looked like they were almost out of the desert.

Following the guidance of the hunting dog, Lu An and the middle-aged man finally saw the outline of the primeval forest in the distance after a day's journey. After a short rest, they rode non-stop to the edge of the primeval forest.

With the presence of hunting dogs, they cleared a small safe space at the edge of the primeval forest. The hunting dogs caught some prey and left some edibles. Lu An and the middle-aged man collected some dry branches and lit a bonfire.

With the fire, they could finally eat something decent. While roasting the meat, the middle-aged man fiddled with his communication equipment.

“Hiss…hiss…”

The communication device made an electric sound. The middle-aged man tried to say something, but got no response. He shook his head, put away the communication device, sat down by the campfire, and started eating.

"Hmm... Hmm... What's the matter?"

"!"

The middle-aged man's device rang again, but this time there was a voice speaking, probably speaking the same language as the middle-aged man. Although there was some interference from the sound of electricity, after careful listening, the middle-aged man finally heard clearly what was coming from the communication device. He excitedly grabbed his classmate's device and communicated excitedly towards the voice on the other end. As if he was afraid that the other end couldn't hear clearly, he repeated it several times.

A positive reply came from the other side of the communication device. After the middle-aged man ended the call, he collapsed to the ground with an uncontrollable smile, feeling relieved.

Sitting up again, the middle-aged man excitedly told Lu An with body language that he had contacted for support and that he had told them the coordinates of their location and the previous village. The rescue team would arrive soon and they were saved.

Lu An congratulated the middle-aged man, but she was a little depressed. She was worried about Han Zu, who had lost contact with them for several days. The middle-aged man also remembered this incident, expressed his apologies, and comforted Lu An.

"Da da da da da!"

Around noon the next day, the sound of propellers was heard in the sky. Two novel-looking helicopters, which should be armed helicopters, slowly landed on the open space at the junction of the primeval forest and the desert. Other helicopters passed them and flew towards the depths of the desert, probably to look for those trapped in the village.

When they arrived at the landing site, they were received by a group of fully armed soldiers. They saluted the middle-aged man, and it seemed that the middle-aged man should have a high status.

Sitting next to the plane to rest, the middle-aged man was talking to the soldiers. Soon, the soldiers walked up to Lu An, saluted her, and said something to her, as if to thank her.

"Woo?"

The hounds seemed to sense something. One of them bit Lu An's clothes and gently pulled them in one direction.

"He's calling you?"

"Woo!"

The hounds nodded, and the middle-aged man offered to give Lu An a ride, but for some reason, he was stopped by the hounds. There was no choice, so the middle-aged man left some weapons and food supplies for Lu An, said goodbye to Lu An, and left on a plane.

"Woo!"

"Let's go find him!"

Riding on a camel-like creature, Lu An and his hunting dogs re-entered the desert.

Some time ago, deep in the desert.

"Um..."

Han Zu woke up somewhere. The strange feeling in his body disappeared, and he felt very comfortable instead. Sitting up, Han Zu rubbed his face and looked around.

The ground and the walls rose and fell rhythmically, and the touch was very soft. Han Zu remembered that he should be in the belly of the desert worm.

Standing up, Han Zu walked inside the worm's belly, looking for a way out.

"Bah..."

It seemed as if he had walked into some liquid. There was a peculiar sound and an unpleasant smell. Han Zu lowered his head and found that the shoes on his feet were corroded rapidly. The source of the smell was the corroded shoes, but his skin did not seem to be affected. This should be the digestive organ of the worm, and the liquid should be its stomach acid or something like that.

There were a lot of other things in the worm's gastric juice, with varying degrees of corrosion. Han Zu picked up a half-corroded metal product and tried to poke it into the worm's flesh, but to no avail.

Throwing away the metal in his hand, Han Zu stretched his muscles. The worm's body was very large, and Han Zu didn't want to leave by climbing since he couldn't tell the head from the tail. If he accidentally went in the wrong direction, it would be a bad scene.

"boom!"

He clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the worm's body, but there was no substantial effect. The worm's muscles were resilient and dissolved Han Zu's strength in the vibration.

Han Zu changed his fist into a palm, stretched out his arm, and stabbed the worm's body with his palm like a sharp knife. This time it had some effect, and Han Zu's entire palm was inserted into the worm's muscles. However, this injury was of no concern to the worm, and after Han Zu withdrew his palm, the worm's wound healed quickly.

"Looks like I have to think of a solution, huh?"

Han Zu talked to himself subconsciously and found that he could speak normally. However, this was not important now. How to leave was the question Han Zu needed to think about.

He tried to take out his weapon, and this time he succeeded, but the familiar weapon did not appear in his hand.

There was a sudden sound of bones and muscles reorganizing and growing under his arm, and Han Zu was surprised to find that two gun barrels made of bones and flesh had grown out of his left forearm. The caliber reached 50 mm, and it looked much more powerful than his original double-barreled machine gun.

"Boom boom boom!"

Subconsciously trying to launch an attack, the gun barrel on his arm burst out with a huge noise of a whistling shell, bombarding the worm's body. Although there was no fire, the power of the flesh cannon was extremely great, and it blasted a big hole in the worm's body. The shell seemed to be highly corrosive, and the worm's wound could not heal, emitting an unpleasant corrosive smell.

"interesting!"

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The flesh machine gun fired crazily, continuing to pour firepower towards the huge gap in the worm's body. The worm finally felt the pain, and its body moved quickly, as if it had drilled out of the desert. Its body stood up, and Han Zu lost gravity and fell down. However, Han Zu did not grab anything to maintain his body shape. Instead, he spun himself around, and the two gun barrels on his left arm casually poured out terrifying corrosive firepower.

The worm's body kept twitching, as if trying to stop the pain coming from inside its body. The irregular movement caused Han Zu inside the worm to constantly collide with the worm's internal organs, but Han Zu didn't care and was having a lot of fun. The flesh and blood machine gun on his arm fired crazily, bombing the worm's body with holes.

After an unknown amount of time, the worm's body collapsed on the desert. Its movements became very slow, and the flesh cannon on Han Zu's arm automatically stopped firing. After twisting and reorganizing, it returned to Han Zu's body. A tsunami-like feeling of exhaustion surged over Han Zu's body. Han Zu lay on the ground, resting and thinking about the changes he had just experienced.
