Chapter 278 Secret Action

Chapter 278 Secret Action

"Why do you look so calm? You are an employee of Infinity, right?"

Han Zu was holding two half-burned cigarettes in his mouth and was carefully clearing the rubble that blocked the doorways of the rooms on the second floor to avoid landslides. Because Gloria's head was in the way, Han Zu placed it on a pile of rubble that he had cleared.

From this angle, Gloria could see that Han Zu was completely unmoved by the fact that the copy was being reset, and was still slowly cleaning up the rubble everywhere. This inevitably made Gloria have some doubts. She felt that either something was wrong, or there was something wrong with the guy in front of her.

"As an employee of Infinite Company, don't you know the importance of reset? Why don't you leave?"

Han Zu turned his head and looked at her without saying anything, but just took another puff of his cigarette.

"clatter."

Then a small piece of gravel was thrown towards her position.

Gloria did not feel angry this time. The man in front of her was very calm. From his eyes, she could only see calmness, not the madness she had expected. So this man should not be a madman. He knew very well what he was doing. While Gloria was thinking about what the man in front of her was doing, he cleared the last blocked position, walked to her side, and hung his head on his neck again.

The smell of burning cigarettes diluted the disgusting mixed smell on the second floor, which allowed Han Zu to calm down and search on his own. He walked into one of the rooms and used a strictly controlled flame to cut off some parasitic plants and mold that bound the skeleton to the ground, and then carefully took out the skeleton underneath.

After inspection, it was found that there were large areas of wear and tear on the skeletons, and almost all of the bones had deep cracks, but Han Zu understood that this was not the cause of their death. It was the corrosion caused by the wildly growing plants and mold after they died. In order to determine the cause of their death from these skeletons, more sophisticated instruments were needed for testing, which Han Zu could not do now.

Continuing the inspection, Han Zu accidentally stepped on some mold when he was about to leave the current room and search other locations. However, the sound made was not right. It was not a damp sound, but a sound of something breaking and then producing friction, a bit like glass shards.

Lifting his foot and putting it aside, Han Zu squatted down. He carefully cleaned the mold and some moss-like things under his feet, and threw aside the "turf" made of a mixture of cut plants and mold. Han Zu saw that under the place where he had just stepped on, there was a broken reagent container. This should be the thing he had stepped on just now.

This reagent container is not big, but it is not a common thing. Han Zu remembered that he had seen similar containers in some of the company's experimental bases, but the type was different.

Picking up the relatively intact part and examining it, Han Zu could tell that the reagent bottle must have been damaged before he stepped on it. There were some tiny gaps on the metal lid that was used to seal the bottle mouth, but no matter what was in the reagent bottle, it was now impossible to investigate.

Han Zu temporarily stopped thinking about leaving the room. He walked around the room again. Accompanied by occasional cracking sounds, Han Zu found many similar reagent bottles on the ground covered with parasitic plants, mosses and mold. What's more fortunate is that Han Zu found a relatively intact set of reagent bottles, one of which was intact and not broken.

Just when Han Zu was about to take the complete reagent bottle out of the bottle set, he found something wrong. The reagent set was not large, about the size of a fist, and the protective layer on the outside of the reagent set was oval. Some places on it were corroded by plant juice, erasing the original shape and pattern on it and making those places transparent. This was why Han Zu was able to find the reagent bottle inside.

Han Zu always felt that the shape of this reagent set was a bit strange, but because it was only relatively complete and still missing a part, Han Zu turned one of his palms into blood mist and wrapped the reagent set with it. After a three-dimensional inspection, Han Zu finally figured out what this reagent set looked like.

It's very much like an early biological grenade.

Using his X-ray vision, Han Zu checked the internal structure of the thing and discovered that it was a biochemical grenade triggered by a mechanical device. However, although the mechanical device had been triggered, the grenade remained intact. This meant that the way this thing worked was similar to a gas bomb, producing smoke. It was unknown whether it was a malfunction or some other reason, but one of the reagent bottles inside remained intact and was not triggered.

"I suggest you don't mess around with this thing."

"Do you know what the reagent is?"

"So you can talk?"

"Speak the key."

"Oh, here's... No, why am I telling you this?!"

Han Zu didn't care about not getting more information. He took Gloria's head off her neck and hung it on the broken wooden strips of the window frame that was entangled by parasitic plants. Then he extinguished the cigarette butt on the wet moss on the wall, held the biological grenade in his hand, and began to shake it.

"What are you going to do?!"

"Click."

"laugh......"

"It contains a highly toxic solvent! That stuff never expires! You...!...what?"

After shaking it a few times, the mechanical trigger device of the biochemical grenade was restored to its original position by the inertia generated by the powerful force. After that, Han Zu pressed the mechanical trigger device again without hesitation. This time, the remaining complete reagent bottle did not hang up and was successfully triggered. As the small smoke device inside started to work again, a large amount of yellow gas gushed out of the biochemical grenade in Han Zu's hand.

While Gloria was looking at the man in front of her, who was doing what she thought was an extremely stupid thing, she discovered that instead of throwing it away immediately and covering his mouth and nose, the man inhaled the gushing yellow poisonous gas in big gulps like smoking.

"hiss...."

"you...?"

"call......"

Watching Han Zu exhale smoke rings, Gloria's cognition suffered a great shock. Simple stupidity or madness would not make anyone do such a thing. This guy must have something special.

"how are you feeling?"

"Hmm... the taste is rich, with a sweet aftertaste, and the ingredients are very exquisite."

"..."

Han Zu's answer must have been nonsense in Gloria's opinion, but if you just look at it, if he was using deadly poison gas as if it were cigarette smoke to return the dragon, his answer didn't seem completely made up.

"No, this guy has led my way of thinking astray."

But soon, Gloria realized that this guy should be immune to this poison gas. But according to Han Zu's changing state, Gloria had other ideas.

Although Gloria had lost 90% of her body and was left with only a head, and one of her prosthetic eyes was completely damaged, fortunately, the nanomechanical group located on the side of her brain was still able to work. It was also through one of the functions of this mechanical group that Gloria was able to communicate with Han Zu using his system. However, due to the lack of the signal amplification device on her body, Gloria now had no way to hack into the system.

This nanomachine group also has the function of scanning and analysis, and it is this function that allowed Gloria to discover the abnormality in Han Zu. After inhaling these yellow deadly poisonous gases into his body, Han Zu's body functions were not damaged at all. On the contrary, his activity was rapidly increasing. These originally extremely dangerous poisonous gases currently have an effect on Han Zu's body that is actually similar to the effect of caffeine or nicotine in cigarettes on ordinary people. It probably has the effect of refreshing the brain and slightly increasing cell activity.

As for Han Zu, he also had some special feelings about the solvent in the reagent bottle that was taking effect. This thing was a bit like the toxin used by those cheaters to kill Cao Yuan, but the gas that Han Zu was inhaling and exhaling was obviously more powerful.

Although it was not the same feeling, Han Zu still felt a familiar power from it. Although the category was different, Han Zu could confirm with a high probability that the thing in this reagent bottle should also be a secondary byproduct of the unique power in his body.

Could these things, as well as the dead bodies on the second floor, including Gloria, be related to the cheater? Han Zu didn't think so. After all, there was a time difference between them, which could be judged from Gloria's time-lapsed body. As for the contents of these reagent bottles, they were actually a little different from the toxins used by the cheater. The contents of these reagent bottles were obviously more concentrated.

Han Zu glanced at Gloria. It seemed that it was not a bad thing to lose the opportunity to question the cheater alone. Perhaps Gloria would know more. Compared with those cheaters whose news was known by the people of Infinite Company, it seemed easier to secretly take out Gloria, who should not be known by anyone.

Gloria looked at Han Zu in front of her, who was looking at her with his head tilted, and felt creepy. Although she no longer had any body tissue other than her brain, the nanomachine group that could fully simulate her senses still made her feel very uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Han Zu didn't say anything and continued "smoking".

"What are you going to do?"

Han Zu grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, a smile that made people feel uncomfortable at first sight.

"You are an employee of Infinity Company, right? Right?!!!"

Han Zu stretched out his finger and cut a straight cut on his chest. Then, Gloria saw a scene that was even more difficult for her to accept. The skin cut by Han Zu seemed to have its own life and thoughts. It automatically opened to both sides, revealing Han Zu's bones and internal organs. If it was just this degree, it would not make Gloria feel uncomfortable. What really made her creepy was the next scene.

Under the opened skin, the hard bones turned into flowing liquid, and also flowed along the skin that was pulled open to both sides. The still beating heart underneath also turned into liquid state and flowed to other positions. Gloria suddenly discovered that the nanomechanical group suddenly could not detect Han Zu's heartbeat, but all other characteristics were still normal.

"The organs are fake?!"

Just as Gloria asked in shock, she suddenly noticed that something began to wriggle in those body tissues that could turn into liquid form. Before Gloria could react, a bunch of black tentacles of different sizes instantly rushed to her head. Then, these tentacles fixed her head and pulled out the parasitic plant that penetrated her eye socket. Of course, they controlled the force appropriately and did not cause any secondary damage.

"Have I entered some horror story? This isn't right? After the surgery, it should be hard for me to dream...right?"

However, soon after, Gloria discovered that the body tissues of the man that he had opened up were rapidly enlarging in front of her eyes. Soon, Gloria felt her head turned around, and she saw the window frame where she had been hanging just now. Then, she saw that the bones in front of her that had turned into liquid were recovering rapidly, like a cage, fixing herself. Then, the opened skin on both sides began to close. The darkness was rapidly expanding, and the light soon turned into a thin slit. Along with the sound of twisting muscles, the remaining artificial eye of Gloria fell into darkness.

Gloria's thinking terminal fell off. What happened just now was faster than Gloria's reaction speed. She was silent, trying to digest what had just happened. This was a good thing for Han Zu. At least now there would be no one chattering in her head.

"Okay, there shouldn't be anything useful here now."

Returning to the top floor of this abrupt building, Han Zu came to the roof from the hole above, standing here looking at the location where the battle was taking place in the distance. At present, it seems that the current battle has entered a unique situation. The two players who are obviously in poor condition are chasing the cheaters. This is not right, because when Han Zu first observed that the battle broke out between them, the strength of the cheaters was one-sided, and the two players could only run for their lives, but now the situation is completely reversed.

"It seems that these guys who use cheats also know the "dangers" of resetting the copy... Hmm?"

While observing other locations, Han Zu noticed that there was another person near the cheater's location, in the attic of the manor's main building. She seemed to be observing the battle below. Han Zu noticed that the person had not been observed by him just now, and she did not look like a player or official staff.

Han Zu suspected that she was also related to the cheater, so he wrote down her appearance and used the system to take a picture of her. However, just after the filming, Han Zu discovered that the woman had actually left the copy, but there was no teleportation light on her body, but an unstable portal appeared behind her.

"It seems that she also knows the nature of the Infinite City. She is probably a big fish."
