Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 505: Bunker Terror (19)

After rushing into the space behind the arch and closing the gate, the lava giant outside seemed to have lost interest in the few people. Perhaps because of the rules of the copy, it no longer targeted the people in the Quack Society. However, it did not leave. Even through the heavy metal gate, the people in the Quack Society who were resting on the spot could still hear the clear breathing of the lava giant outside.

“Mission Accomplished”

"Quest Progress Update: Make Your Choice"

Although the previous continuous battles, coupled with the scene of witnessing the appearance of the lava giant, did make the people of the Quack Society overwhelmed, but even when they arrived at the safe area and began to rest and recover, they did not relax their vigilance. While recovering, they observed their current location and kept an eye out for possible dangers. However, this time they seemed to be overthinking, and there was no danger in this huge room.

Through observation, the five people from the Quack Club found that this huge room was not similar to all the previous areas. It was too bright and too clean. The size of the room was not very big, about the size of a basketball court. There were neatly arranged brazier racks around the walls. These brazier racks were not new, but they looked like someone was taking care of them, so they were very clean. The fuel inside the brazier racks was not grease, but a kind of wood. This kind of wood would emit a white light when burning, which looked very strange, but there was nothing wrong with them themselves.

Due to the presence of braziers emitting white light around the walls, the whole room was very bright, without a single dark corner. There were only some carved patterns on the walls, which looked very old. There were two buildings of different styles inside the room. According to the system's description, they were some kind of altars, but other than that, the whole room was actually quite empty.

The room in front of everyone was the size of a horizontal basketball court. The two different altars were located in the center of the left and right thirds of the room respectively. The entrance where everyone was located happened to be on one side of the wall in the center of the room, so everyone could see all the information inside the room at a glance.

After a while, everyone had almost recovered. They stood up from the ground and began to discuss what to do next.

"Does what we need to do now seem simple? The choice described in the mission should refer to the two altars in the room, so... should we investigate first?"

"We have to investigate them for sure. After all, we don't have anything else to do right now. But have you noticed that the gate we closed before seems to be gone now?"

"what?"

Pei Lan stretched out his right hand and pointed his thumb over his shoulder to the position behind them. That position should have been the gate they had closed before, but now it was a flat wall. Except for Pei Lan who happened to glance at him behind them, the other four people in the team did not see any information. Not knowing what was going on, they naturally regarded Pei Lan, who was the first to discover that the gate had disappeared, as the only person who knew the truth, and began to ask questions. Unfortunately, although Pei Lan discovered that the gate had disappeared and turned into a flat wall, she did not witness the moment the gate disappeared, so she did not know how the gate disappeared.

"I just saw that the gate was gone, but I don't know exactly how it disappeared."

"Maybe it's the dungeon mechanism in this room at this stage of the mission? If we don't choose the altar, we can't leave?"

"We don't have any extra clues to analyze right now, but judging from the clues we have so far, this is most likely the case."

"It seems that we can only investigate these two altars first. Which one should we start from? And how should we investigate? Should we split into two groups or act as a whole?"

"This is a step in a hidden mission after all, so let's do it together. If anything goes wrong, others can still help."

"I agree with Yuan Feng. Although these two altars don't look weird, but rather quite normal, and don't have any special effects, my past experience tells me that things that look safe are often disguised as something extremely dangerous."

"So there are two altars on the left and right. Which one should we investigate first?"

"I don't have any ideas... How about raising your hands and voting? The minority shall obey the majority?"

"Okay, this method is simple and quick."

"Wait a minute," Zhao Mingkai interrupted the conversation, "Have you forgotten that I'm a summoner? How about I call a few cannon fodder out to scout the way?"

"Yes, I almost forgot about this. But you consumed a lot of energy just now. Do you still have enough energy now? If there is another battle later, we can't do without your fighting power."

Perhaps it was the continuous high-intensity battles before, and the emotion of surviving the calamity of escaping from the lava giant, which made the minds of the people in the Quack Society temporarily not so sharp. Fortunately, Zhao Mingkai reacted and realized that he could do something with his abilities. This made everyone's thinking gradually clear. After discussion, everyone decided to let Zhao Mingkai use the summoned creature to investigate the situation of the altar first. If it really doesn't work, they will investigate it themselves at that time.

Zhao Mingkai summoned a thing that looked like a goblin. Its size, voice, even the weapons on its body and the magic power flowing on it all looked exactly the same as a goblin. The only difference was that this thing's facial features were as abstract as a Picasso painting. Take the eyes for example. Normally the left eye is to the left of the right eye, but the left side of this thing's right eye could be any other organ, but it could not be the left eye.

"No buddy, this...are you sure this thing can see the road normally?"

"What the hell is this thing? ! ! Why is its left eye where its ear should be? ! ! "

"It's so abstract... You just... have a rather... curious taste?"

"I remember the last time you summoned goblins, they were always ugly, but at least they looked like normal goblins. But this time... Isn't this abstract little thing a goblin?"

Except for the summoner Zhao Mingkai, the other four were stunned when they saw this abstract thing, and then immediately surrounded it, showing great curiosity about its appearance. In fact, even Zhao Mingkai himself felt a little disgusted when he saw this thing, and he had seen it several times.

"I actually think this thing is very abstract, but yes, it is indeed a goblin. During the last dungeon, I got some skill points, but not many, not enough to upgrade the main skills, so I thought about upgrading the summons. After looking around, I found that there were only enough to upgrade the goblin. As you know, I don't like to hoard skill points, so I upgraded the goblin's level. But I didn't expect that after the goblin tank was upgraded, it would grow into such an abstract appearance."

"Are you sure you did it right? This thing doesn't look like a goblin tank. Although we are not summoners, we often see you summon these creatures. Are you sure you didn't ruin it?"

"...I'm not so stupid as to not even choose the right skill points, but I understand your doubts. After all, when I first saw this thing, I had the same idea as you."

"Okay, let's just keep it abstract. As long as we can get the job done, we've wasted too much time on this."

As soon as this abstract goblin appeared, everyone's attention immediately shifted from investigating the two altars to it. Fortunately, there was still a reliable guy among the five people. After rubbing his temple, Wuzhitu suppressed his curiosity and pulled everyone's attention from the abstract goblin back to the two altars.

Zhao Mingkai controlled the abstract goblin and walked towards the altar on the left first. After it turned its back to the crowd, it looked much better. Although it was actually a tank unit, it was a goblin after all, so its movement speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, it reached the edge of the first altar.

Zhao Mingkai controlled this abstract goblin and made it touch the altar. Nothing happened. He then controlled it to stand on it, but still nothing happened.

"I guess this altar can only be controlled by the player himself, and cannot be operated by summoned creatures."

"Take a look at the altar on the right, maybe there will be some differences?"

"Row."

The controlled abstract goblin quickly moved to the altar on the right. After a series of operations, the altar on the right was the same as the altar on the left, and nothing happened.

"From this perspective, both altars should only be controlled by players themselves."

"It looks like we're back to square one. Let's raise our hands and vote. I vote for the left."

"Same."

"On my right."

"I'm on the right too. You're the only one missing, Pei Lan. Your vote is the deciding vote."

Pei Lan looked at the altars on both sides. She actually felt that it didn't matter which side she went to first, so naturally she couldn't choose left or right. However, she still had to make a choice, so she decided to leave it to luck. So she took out a throwing knife, threw it gently into the air, letting it fall freely. After it landed, she would choose whichever side the tip of the knife pointed to.

"Ding! Ding ding."

"I choose the right."

After the flying knife fell to the ground, it rolled a few times and finally stopped. Although it did not have an exact direction, the direction pointed by the tip of the knife was still closer to the altar on the right.

"Okay, now that the results are out, let's investigate the altar on the right first."

The room was the size of a basketball court. After walking a few steps, five people arrived at the altar on the right. Through observation, the altar was very simple and seemed to be made of wood. The overall appearance was like a tree stump that had been polished by humans. There were no patterns or patterns on it, nor were there any words engraved on it. The height was very low, about 1.34 meters. The top of the altar was a curved groove, and there was water inside that just covered the wrists. The water was clear and the bottom could be seen at a glance, confirming that there was nothing in the water.

"Uh, so how do we do this?"

"It should be related to this water. Maybe we need to put our hands in it?"

"I don't think so. According to the plots in the movies I've seen, this kind of situation usually involves dripping a few drops of blood into the water."

"Wait a minute, if we activate this altar, will the other one become ineffective?"

"According to the mission, making a choice should be like this."

"Then should we look at the one on the left first before deciding?"

"Okay, we have time now anyway."

Because they were unsure what would happen after the altar was activated, the members of the Quack Society decided not to act rashly. Instead, they decided to investigate the altar on the left first, collect information for comparison, and then make a decision.

After arriving at the altar on the left, everyone began to observe. The altar on the left was also plain, without any patterns, but the difference was that, first of all, the material of the altar on the left should be some kind of stone, which was also polished. There was also a groove on the top of the altar, but it was not filled with water, but some small pieces of neatly arranged firewood. If the system had not prompted that this was also an altar, when you first saw it, you might have mistaken it for a decorative stone fire rack.

"The way to open this altar is easier to guess than the one on the right. It should be to light these firewoods."

"How about we try the one on the left first? After all, we haven't figured out how to open the altar on the right."

"I'm fine with either. It doesn't matter which one we try. We have to take some action eventually."

At present, apart from the ambiguous "make a choice", they really didn't have any extra information to use, so after a brief discussion, they decided to open the altar on the left and give it a try. Yuan Feng flipped his hand, and a stable fireball appeared on his palm. He stretched his hand to the location of the firewood, and then let go, and the fireball entered the center of the firewood and quickly ignited the altar.

"Uh... not working?"

"Wait a little longer. It may take some time to open the altar."

"Boom~~~"

"What's going on? Is it the altar?!"

About a minute later, the entire altar shook slightly, accompanied by some sounds coming from a distance. Everyone immediately became alert, but after looking around, they found nothing.

"It's probably not the altar. I think something happened inside the bunker above."

"I noticed that the number of people on the system has changed again. The last person from another French team has been eliminated. I guess this shock is related to him?"

"That should be it. Now that you mention it, I took a look at the remaining number of people. The German team, which also has one person left, has not left the dungeon yet. I guess the two of them bumped into each other and started fighting. I guess the player from the German team used some kind of earthquake-like skill."

"call!"

At this moment, the firewood at the bottom of the ignited altar suddenly began to burn rapidly, like some cheap trick, the firewood that should have burned for a long time was instantly burned out in less than a second. Then, some items appeared on the top of the altar, and at this time, the task system prompted again.

"The choice has been made, you can clear the level by obtaining the item."

When they looked inside, they saw five strange things that looked like tickets inside the groove where the firewood was originally. Although they were soft, they felt more like soft and smooth metal than paper. On both sides of the ticket, only the center had a pattern that looked like a book, which was flashing a faint light. The five people picked up the tickets, and before they had time to check them carefully, the system prompted them that they had completed the task and started the countdown to passing the level.

"Uh...why don't you go out and take a look?"

"It can only be the."

Soon, the five members of the Quack Society turned into several white lights and were teleported out of the copy.

Not too long ago, quacks would have noticed when a room was shaking.

"Support has arrived, follow the support and move to the clearance evacuation area."

Han Zu had chosen not to leave before, but to wait for the steps of the support mission. Now the countdown has ended, but being in the bunker, he did not know what the support was like. However, at this moment, the bunker area behind him suddenly disappeared, followed by a deafening explosion. Han Zu was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw the sky outside through the disappeared bunker dome. There was something huge in the sky blocking the sunlight, and it seemed to be throwing something down.

"Zeppelin?!"

After a closer look, Han Zu confirmed the identity of the so-called support. It was a bombing formation composed of several Zeppelin airships. The sudden disappearance of the bunker was not some strange rule of the copy, but was simply because it was directly blown up by the bombs dropped by the airships.

Explosions sounded one after another, and the German airships were quickly gaining air supremacy over the battlefield. Just as Han Zu rushed out of the bunker, a number of German troops appeared nearby. After seeing Han Zu, one of the soldiers immediately handed him a rifle and some ammunition, and then rushed to the battlefield ahead.

“Very passionate.”

Han Zu shrugged, checked the bullets, and rushed forward with the main force.
