Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Everyone, pay attention. If you see anything unusual, and the other party doesn't shout a command within five seconds, open fire immediately. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Sir!!"

On the escalator leading to the second floor in a hall of the Skande Shopping Center, some soldiers from the "Night Owl" organization who had set up a temporary checkpoint here were talking. From their appearance, it was clear that they were not joking. Every soldier was armed to the teeth, not only holding a variety of weapons in their hands, but also carrying large military backpacks filled with ammunition and supplies. It seemed that they would not be able to leave here easily if they had not completed the mission, that is, before killing the deputy.

"Everything is going well for Team A."

"Everything is going well in the Beta Group."

Two patrol teams, each consisting of four people, had just finished a joint patrol. The area they patrolled was the furniture area on the first floor. There were still many sample furniture left in the shops here, which was a good place to hide. However, after a joint patrol, teams A and β did not find anything unusual, so after reporting the search results, they separated at the outermost side of the furniture area and began to patrol other areas. Team A went to patrol the bathroom decoration area, while team β prepared to go to the second floor via the escalator in the center of the first floor lobby. The fastest route was to go back from the furniture area, so under the leadership of the captain, team β re-entered the furniture area.

"Captain, I want to have a cigarette."

"Okay, but hurry up, and also, just hold the cigarette in your mouth and weld your hands to your gun, you hear me?!"

"Yes!"

The captain of the β team is relatively humane, but his professional quality is obviously not high. All exits are blocked by metal gates. In the dim environment caused by the lack of electricity in the shopping mall, the faint light produced by the burning cigarettes is enough to become the best target for the enemy to aim at, no matter whether the enemy uses a gun or not.

There are exceptions, though, unless you are so strong that even tank shells can't hit you. But there are obviously no such tough guys in the β team.

After lighting the cigarette, the team member immediately put his hand back on his gun. Although the other team members slowed down their pace, they did not stop, so the team member planned to take two quick steps to catch up with the remaining three teammates.

"Zi."

The team member, holding a cigarette in his mouth, had just taken two steps forward when he felt something on his neck, making a faint sound of electricity. Before he could look down, he suddenly found that a cloud of black mist had emerged from his side and wrapped him up. Then, in less than a second, he suddenly felt someone covering his mouth, and his heart felt cold. He looked down and saw that a polymer vibration dagger wrapped in a shadow had penetrated his heart, revealing one-third of the tip. After the team member saw the last thing in his life, he was completely swallowed up by the black mist. The black mist wrapped around his body dragged his body to a store in a home area and hid it in the shadow behind a sample furniture.

"Jack! Where the hell have you been? Come back here now!"

The captain of Team β became suspicious. Although only a dozen seconds had passed, the distance between them and the team member who stopped to light a cigarette, that is, Jack, was not very far, at most about eight or nine meters. And it took less than ten seconds to light a cigarette. Even if the time he took to catch up was counted, a dozen seconds was enough.

"Go and have a look. This kid might have gone somewhere to pee. Really..."

"Ha! This kid is just a lazy donkey. I'm going to go see the captain. You guys go first."

The captain of the team cursed a few words, and one of the remaining two team members volunteered to look for Jack who had fallen behind, and asked the captain and the remaining team member to leave first. The captain and the remaining team members walked a few steps and thought it would be better to wait for them there. As soon as they turned around, they saw the team member not far away, standing there. Due to the dim environment, they could only see the outline of the team member and had no idea what he was doing.

"What is that kid doing?"

"Let me turn on the tactical flashlight and take a look."

The remaining team member turned on the tactical flashlight on his rifle and aimed it in the direction of his teammate in the distance. He found that his gun was not in his hand, but hanging at the side of his body, with only the gun strap hanging on his shoulder, and he seemed to have his head down. The captain was about to call him when he found that he suddenly knelt on the ground with his knees and was silent.

“Kaala…”

The captain and the rest of the team felt something was wrong and prepared to go over to check it out. They thought this was most likely an enemy attack, but before they could make any move, they heard a crisp sound coming from the position of hands holding guns. Looking down, they saw that their weapons, including their arms, were covered with a thick layer of ice shell, and there was suddenly a woman among them, and the woman's hands were pressed against their guns, one on the left and one on the right.

"Varied.."

"Shinai."

However, before they turned around to see the woman clearly, another woman appeared in front of them. Her left hand was holding the scabbard of a samurai sword, and her right hand was tightly grasping the handle. A foreign word that they had never heard of came out of the woman's mouth, and then a cold wind blew, and the woman had quietly rushed to the position behind them.

"Strange, how can I see behind me?"

The captain of the β team saw the last thing he saw before he died. It was himself and the remaining team member, two headless corpses still on the ground, and his own strange perspective that was getting higher and higher.

"Boom, boom."

"Good swordsmanship, Saki."

"Arigado."

"Chizuru, Saki, take care of their bodies. I'll go get the heads of these two guys."

“Hi.”

After dealing with the bodies of the β team and hiding them, the three members of the assassination team began to move forward.

"Xuezi, there is something I didn't have the chance to tell you before. Now I have the chance."

"What's wrong Chizuru?"

"When we were still in the hotel..."

It didn't take long for Chizuru to tell Yukiko and Saki about the powerful and aggressive aura she had felt in the hotel before. After hearing this, the two frowned, but soon calmed down.

"Maybe it's just like what Chizuru said. Maybe that person didn't cover up his aura well. After all, if it's according to what Chizuru said, if an enemy of that level wanted to kill or capture Chizuru alive, she wouldn't have any chance to resist. I still tend to think it's a coincidence."

"I have the same idea as Yukiko."

After talking about this matter, Chizuru stopped worrying about it. Since nothing happened to Chizuru, Yukiko didn't care about it too much anymore.

But the taciturn Saki frowned secretly, because according to Chizuru's words and her description of that powerful force, she remembered a familiar figure, but she couldn't figure out what the connection was for the time being, because that person seemed to have no interest in the assassination team at all. In order not to increase the pressure on Chizuru and Yukiko, Saki did not tell anyone what she thought.

"Bang, bang!"

On the third floor of a shopping mall, inside a restaurant.

Led's deputy kept hitting the dilapidated wall with his saber. With his persistence, he smashed a small hole in the old wall. He immediately covered the hole with his palm, observed privately, and found that no one was attracted by the sound. Then he gently moved his palm away and put one eye on it.

The small hole he dug led directly to the outside. Through observation, he found that the area outside the shopping mall building that he could observe had been surrounded by the army of the "Night Owl" organization. The small hole in the wall could indeed be dug open, but in that case, people outside would notice this location, and what would be waiting for him would be the twin-barreled machine guns on the armored vehicles on the street outside, or perhaps the shells fired by the tanks nearby. It seemed that he would not be able to leave the shopping mall for the time being.

The deputy immediately began to search his body, and after a while, he actually found a small device. This thing was a temporary distress signal device, and its appearance was the same size as a small wine bottle. The deputy held the small device tightly, kissed it, then placed the antenna on the small hole in the wall, and pressed the button to send a distress signal.

"This thing can only be used once. I hope the signal can be transmitted..."

“Tap, tap, tap…”

There were some footsteps coming from far away outside. The deputy immediately put away the distress signal device, tiptoed away from his original position, and found a new place to hide. In fact, his combat effectiveness was not low, but facing soldiers whose number was a hundred times his own, he was not a fool and would never go out to die rashly.

"Eight sticks and sadness! Kara won faint OK!"

Behind two armored vehicles and a dozen Night Owl soldiers, in front of the ramp of the abandoned underground parking lot of the Skandar Shopping Center, a tall man was humming an old song in a broken dialect. He seemed to be in a good mood, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

"Dangdang."

The man knocked on the metal gate that blocked the entrance to the underground parking lot, held the unlit cigarette between his fingers, and opened his mouth towards the metal gate.

"Buzz~~!!"

A compressed column of fire spurted out of his mouth, immediately burning a small hole in the metal gate and the door leading to the underground parking lot behind it. The man slowly moved his head and used the column of fire from his mouth as a cutting machine to cut out a passable area on it. After completing the cutting, he lit a cigarette at the gap that had not yet cooled down, then hummed the old song again and walked in with a swagger.

"Sangsin is stupid! Kalaya will be OK!"

Even though the sound when the man was cutting the metal gate was not loud, the soldiers just a few steps behind him should have heard it, but all the soldiers stood where they were and no one came to check.

Inside the Skandara Shopping Centre, third floor.

Chizuru, Yukiko, and Saki from the assassination team avoided the stairs and temporary checkpoints at the connecting locations, used some protrusions on the buildings to avoid the searchlights, and climbed directly to the third floor. After finding an opportunity and knocking down several soldiers who were taking shelter on the third-floor platform, they successfully climbed up and entered the third floor.

They moved forward cautiously and found two bodies in a relatively blind spot. They were both soldiers of the Night Owl organization. Judging from the wounds, they were killed from behind with a sharp weapon such as a saber. Judging from the weapon, the one who killed them should be the deputy of Layed that the three were looking for.

Continuing to search in the direction where the bodies fell, Chizuru, Yukiko, and Saki discovered more bodies hidden in secret places, which proved that their search direction was correct.

"On the third floor, there is no place to climb from the inside except for the escalator and stairwell."

"The elevator is stuck between the third and fourth floors. There should be soldiers guarding the elevator shaft on the fourth floor. We didn't hear any gunfire, which means the deputy must still be on the third floor."

"Be careful, we must find him before the soldiers of the Night Owl organization kill him."

"Om~~~"

“Da da da da da…”

Just as the three were continuing to prepare to search for the deputy, they suddenly heard a noisy engine sound, which seemed to come from above the shopping mall.

"Is there a helipad on the rooftop of this place?"

“It seems so, but I’m not sure.”

"Hurry, someone should come to support..."

"boom!!!!"

“Buzz!!!

"boom!!!!"

Suddenly, a dull thud was heard from outside the building, and then something in the shopping mall suddenly exploded. An armed helicopter crashed through the wall and got stuck between the fourth and fifth floors. A large fireball burst out from the wreckage of the burning helicopter, briefly illuminating the surrounding space. After the fireball disappeared, the sky outside could be seen intermittently through the burning wreckage of the helicopter and the thick smoke.

"what happened?!!"

"Report! The anti-aircraft armored vehicle's radar scanned an unidentified armed helicopter and shot it down."

In a temporary checkpoint very close to the three members of the assassination team, the captain inside was startled by the sudden explosion. He picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted with a stern face. The other side quickly gave an explanation, and the news was heard by all three members of the assassination team.

"Damn it! He can even call for backup like this! If I catch this guy, I will definitely chop off his arms first and then shoot him in the head! Damn! Over!"

While the people in the checkpoint had just finished communicating with the outside world, Yukiko and Saki touched the edge of the checkpoint, and Chizuru attracted attention. Without any gunshots, the three of them cooperated to successfully take down this temporary checkpoint. The view here was very wide, and there was an emergency searchlight. Using this temporary checkpoint, the three of them took a short rest and began to use the searchlight to search other locations on the third floor.

“Bang bang!!”

At this moment, two gunshots were suddenly heard in the lobby on the first floor of the shopping mall. Soon after the gunshots, two more gunshots were heard on the second floor. Then a large number of soldiers were seen rushing towards the location where the gunshots were heard.

"Everyone come to help! The enemy reinforcements are rushing in!"

I don't know which soldier below shouted, and more soldiers rushed up, and soon someone rushed to the escalator.

"Yukiko! We have to retreat! They will soon find out that this checkpoint has been taken down!"

"He's there! Quick!"

Before leaving the searchlight, Yukiko found a figure at the edge of the searchlight moving towards the escalator leading to the fourth floor. She immediately confirmed that it was the person they were looking for. The soldiers below were about to catch up, so they left here and went up to the fourth floor first.

"There are far fewer Night Owl soldiers here. This is our best chance to strike. Let's go! Let's catch that guy!"

"it is good!"

After confirming the deputy's location, the three people quickly chased after him. They were very fast and successfully avoided the soldiers below.
