Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 497: Bunker Terror (11)

The five people who were staring at the entrance to the passage in the direction of the bathing beach heard no other sounds after the sounds of several people jumping into the water. To be on the safe side, they did not rush to make any moves, but waited there for a while.

"Nothing happened."

After about a few minutes, the sound from the direction of the bathhouse disappeared completely, and the few people began to communicate in a low voice.

"Go over and take a look?"

"Don't worry, I'll let my skeleton soldiers go over and take a look first. Yuan Feng, make this skeleton soldier invisible."

"it is good."

Zhao Mingkai controlled a skeleton soldier and walked out of its original hiding place. Yuan Feng stretched out his hand and put a layer of invisible cloak on the skeleton soldier. Then, under Zhao Mingkai's control, the skeleton soldier returned along the way everyone came, and soon arrived at the bathing place.

There was no change around the bathing area, but a large hole with a diameter of two or three meters appeared in the center of the original hot spring pool. There were obvious traces of artificial excavation on the edge and inside of the hole. According to the traces left, the excavation tool used by the other party was probably some kind of portable engineering drill, which is very common in the mining industry today and is not a rare thing. Therefore, it is impossible to infer the identity of the excavator based on the excavation method.

The location of the big hole is exactly the same as the entrance of the cave that Yuan Si discovered at the beginning. It seems that the other party also discovered that there is another world below, but they chose the fastest way to enter, which is to drill a big hole above.

The originally winding cave has now been dug through to become a vertical shaft that goes straight up and down. The expansion of the cave has accelerated the loss of hot spring water. Now the water level of the hot spring has dropped from knee-level to ankle-level. Through the dug vertical shaft, you can see the hot spring water falling rapidly along the wall of the well, but because of the drop in the water level, the speed of the water flow has slowed down a lot.

Now, Zhao Mingkai can clearly see the space below from the top of the shaft through the skeleton soldier he controls. The range and angle of observation are much clearer than when Yuan Feng observed before. Now he can confirm more details of the bridge-like buildings below, such as the fact that they intersect horizontally and vertically. There are more than ten bridges in total, and each bridge has an entrance on both sides. However, it is very dark inside and the distance is very far. The shortest vertical distance from the edge of the shaft where the skeleton soldier is located to the bridge is at least dozens of meters. So it is not clear where they lead to.

Although the light under the bridge is farther away, judging from the similar flow state and the fact that the water turns into water vapor immediately before falling to that location, it should indeed be magma, or at least something with a similar temperature.

As for those diggers who were only heard but not seen, Zhao Mingkai did not find them. After all, although he could share vision with his summons, he did not have any serious detection skills. Because of the angle, a large part of those bridges were in the shadows, and the distance was far, so if you want to carefully observe the location of the bridge below from this position, the best way is to call Wu Ritu over. After all, he is an expert in long-distance reconnaissance.

However, for safety reasons, he could not just let him go, so Zhao Mingkai sent out a few skeleton soldiers again, but this time he did not make them invisible. He controlled them to patrol the bathing area for a while, and after confirming that there were no dangers or traps, Zhao Mingkai told his other companions what he had seen and heard. They returned to the bathing area together and came to the edge of the big hole.

"Help me keep watch. I'll observe the situation below."

"rest assured."

After talking to others and asking them to help him keep an eye on his surroundings, Wuzhitu took out his main weapon and used the scope on it to observe the huge space below.

Wuzhitu's weapon is very interesting. It is not an ordinary anti-vehicle weapon. It is made of all metal and has a high-tech appearance, which makes it look more like something from an alien civilization. Although this weapon makes a buzzing sound like an energy weapon when firing, in the weapon system of the Infinite City, this big guy is classified as a live ammunition weapon. Although its ammunition is not a bullet, nor is it a projectile of energy, it is the weapon itself, or to be more precise, the ammunition of this weapon is a part of itself.

Whenever this weapon is used, five rounds of ammunition will appear in its magazine every second. They are a part of the firearm itself that splits off. However, as long as there are metal minerals or dead biological remains around, this split ammunition will not cause the mass of the weapon to decrease. Of course, if there is nothing around, as long as Wuzhitu's own health value does not fall below a certain threshold, it can also provide a steady supply of ammunition for the weapon.

The ammunition produced by this weapon has the same ordinary attack power as the heavy anti-vehicle weapons currently used on the market. It can directly destroy armored vehicles and attack drones, and if aimed at weak points, it can also paralyze them with one shot, and destroy heavy vehicles such as tanks and armed helicopters with two shots. However, this is only the ordinary power. Due to its special weapon characteristics, before the ammunition is generated, if there are special minerals or special biological corpses around, such as those containing radiation, toxins, etc., then the ammunition generated in this environment will also have the same special effects, thereby increasing the power of the weapon.

For example, there are some radioactive minerals in the environment of hot springs. The ammunition of this weapon now carries radioactive factors. If the weapon is used to attack at this time, these attacks will be able to interfere with or even destroy the opponent's electronic equipment within a certain range, and directly hit the human body will also produce radioactive toxins.

However, due to the speed of ammunition generation, although this weapon is powerful, it cannot support continuous combat. However, as a long-range sniper weapon, it is really suitable. As a gunner, Wu Ritu is naturally not stupid enough to engage in close combat with others. Of course, even if he is really trapped in a situation where he can only fight in close combat, Wu Ritu is not weak, after all, he has other weapons.

The scope of this big gun is not an ordinary optical or electronic scope. If you have to find a suitable description, it is more like a rangefinder equipped with an intelligent decision-making system, night vision and thermal imaging functions. It is not AI, and cannot give the best solution to the current situation based on many current factors like the equipment of the Tig people or the equipment of the contractor. But it can give some feasible solutions according to the user's requirements, but the user needs to choose by himself, and it cannot analyze the feasibility of those solutions. But even so, it is powerful enough.

"Distance to target building: 73.9291 meters."

“Construction Materials: Marble/Iron Metal/Cedar/Oak.”

"Protection penetration level: low/medium."

"Environmental analysis: Some building structures have structural wear and damage, and the building stability is moderate."

"No available paths found."

Using the scope on his weapon, Wu Zhitu quickly understood the material of the bridge structure below and its vertical height from the cave entrance where everyone was. According to the inspection, there was no way to reach the bottom directly from this position. The people or teams digging the cave must have some displacement skills or equipment that can be used in the air to jump directly from this position. Of course, it is also possible that they fell directly from here and fell into the magma, but Wu Zhitu believed that the other party should not be so stupid.

The bridge below was not very strong, but it was still OK for normal traffic. The materials used to build it were very old, and Wuzhitu's weapons could easily penetrate them, so as long as Wuzhitu wanted to attack, there would be no obstacles that could stop him from attacking, which was good news.

After a careful observation, Wuzhitu did not find any creatures on the bridge, but there were some large scratches on the ground of the bridge, which did not seem to be caused by the mutant enemies in the bunker. After all, the scratches were too large. If it was a humanoid creature, then its size would be at least seven or eight meters, almost two-thirds of the width of the bridge. However, these scratches were covered with thick dust, and perhaps the creature that caused these scratches had already left or died. But for the sake of caution, it is better to be careful.

Wuzhitu also observed the entrance-like locations on both sides of these more than ten bridge-like structures. He found that those entrances basically had a gate made of a mixture of metal and wood materials extending one or two meters inward. The wooden structures on most of the gates were almost rotten, but because the gates were mainly made of metal structures, these locations were still strictly speaking closed.

At 30 degrees below where everyone was, there was an exit at that location. The metal door was damaged. Wu Ritu could see that the side of the door was sunken in, and there were some impact marks on the edge, but it was very neat. It was not damaged by human power, and probably some special tools were used. Wu Ritu also saw that there seemed to be something glowing before the corner of the corridor inside the door. After changing the angle to observe, Wu Ritu found that it was a prop used to mark the location. It was a very common prop in the mall of Infinite City. It was very cost-effective. Almost every player in Infinite City had one. This should be left by the team that excavated the cave.

Apart from this, there was no other information or clues. Wuzhitu ended his observation, put away his weapon, and quickly informed his companions of what he had seen and heard.

"It seems that the other party has been down there for a while and left marks. He must be planning to return the same way later." Yuan Si analyzed, touching his chin.

"Then shall we follow them now?" Zhao Mingkai asked.

"We have to go down for sure, but we have to think of a safe way to go down first. Jumping directly from this place will definitely not work. Wuzhitu and I have no problem, but you three can't. You don't have any long-distance displacement skills. Yuan Feng does have some, but he needs to have been to that place and spend time setting up the magic circle. He definitely hasn't been to the space below, so it probably won't work either." Pei Lan analyzed while tapping rhythmically on the flying knife in her left hand with her right fingers. This behavior allowed her to concentrate and think better.

"How about we split up, you go explore the way first, and we look for other ways to go down? Anyway, we have my mark, and if you encounter danger or are outnumbered, I can pull you two back." Yuan Feng stuck his head out and took a look at the huge space below the cave, but just like before, there was no change on the bridges.

"What about the fork in the road we went to before? Haven't we been there yet? Maybe we can go down from there to the bridge construction below, so that we don't have to consider acting separately. After all, I think it's better for us to act together. After all, Pei Lan and I can't resist damage. If we encounter an ambush and get tricked by someone, there is a chance that we won't be able to escape."

Wu Ritu shook his head and rejected Yuan Feng's method. The surrounding environment was unclear. Although it was confirmed that a team had entered the space below, none of the five members of the Quack Society had seen them so far, so naturally they had no way of knowing the other party's strength. For these reasons, it was not a wise choice to act separately. If the other party had discovered them, it would not be easy to escape once they stepped into the other party's ambush. This risky behavior was not in line with the Quack Society's action style. Even Yuan Feng, who proposed this method, regretted it immediately after he finished speaking and rejected the method he proposed.

"That's all we can do for now. Let's go back and take a look at the fork in the road on the left. Maybe that location can indeed lead to the space below."
