Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills-Chapter 199 - Free, Strange City

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After killing the talking head in the grass, Zhou Chen continued to walk in the direction of the sun.

This residential area was the same as the starting room. It looked rather shabby and gave off a rotten smell. It had probably been abandoned for a long time.

Zhou Chen walked past the rows of buildings and headed for the surrounding wall in the distance, planning to cross it to the outside.

But after walking for half a minute, he encountered a situation similar to the staircase: He could not reach the wall.

Regardless of whether he walked quickly or slowly, he was always a hundred meters away from the wall, as if the wall was moving with him.

“This move again, what’s the point?”

Zhou Chen did not feel good when he encountered the same situation. That monster did not fight him and only kept on trapping him like this. It was really boring.

Having experienced climbing the stairs before, Zhou Chen did not hesitate to punch the wall about a hundred meters in front of him. The ferocious Eight Desolates True Energy formed an invisible fist the size of a building and instantly destroyed the wall, revealing the spacious road outside.

“Violence is the solution after all.”

Zhou Chen exerted strength in his feet and charged towards the gap in the wall a hundred meters in front.

However, immediately after, reality splashed cold water on him. He realized that he was still on the same spot and could not approach the gap in the wall at all.

“Or not?”

Zhou Chen frowned and muttered.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded from all directions in this empty and uninhabited community.

“Survivor, I won’t let you out. Stay here obediently and become my shell. Hehehehe…”

“Aren’t you bored of doing this?!”

Zhou Chen did not panic when he heard this eerie voice coming from an unknown source. Instead, he replied impatiently,

“If you have the guts, show yourself and fight me!”

He really did not think that this monster was powerful. He only felt that its ability to restrict movement was very disgusting.

After Zhou Chen provoked the monster, he did not receive any reply for a few seconds, as if the monster was afraid to fight him.

“You damn thing, do you think I can’t do anything to you just because you’re hiding?!”

Zhou Chen felt the anger in his heart rise. He continued to shout,

“If you don’t let me out, I’ll tear down your entire nest!”

Zhou Chen was a doer. He raised his right leg and used some strength, stepping on the cement ground.

The ground around Zhou Chen instantly cracked like a spider web, radiating a circumference of hundreds of meters. At the same time, an invisible terrifying wave of air exploded in all directions with his right foot as the center!

This invisible wave of air was so powerful and violent that the flower beds and buildings around Zhou Chen immediately collapsed in a sequence. They were pushed to the outside as if they had encountered an invisible flood. After a moment, there was no longer anything more than ten centimeters tall around Zhou Chen. All of them were trampled into the ground by him. Even the large section of the wall and the road had disappeared, leaving only ruins.

After doing this, Zhou Chen walked on the cracked ground and tried to see if he could walk out.

Then he realized: It still did not work.

“F*cking hell! Looks like I have to get serious!”

Zhou Chen was infuriated. He had experienced so many Survival missions, when had he ever been trapped like this?

“BREAK OPEN!”

He suddenly sunk his energy into his dantian and gathered the berserk Eight Desolates True Energy in his body. Then, he suddenly stepped on the ground and spread his arms, causing a terrifying destructive aura to erupt from his body, triggering a substantial effect like a small nuclear explosion.

This time, it was not the things around him that were destroyed, because they were already flattened in the previous attack. Instead, with him as the center, all objects within a 300-meter radius, including the ground below, were destroyed and exploded violently, making a terrifying circular crater like a dried lake bottom appear below him.

Zhou Chen stood in the air with the help of the Eight Desolates True Energy and Windrun skill. The small residential area had completely disappeared, and the surrounding terrain had changed. He used the Eight Desolates True Energy to move forward, and there was no longer the feeling of confinement.

“Looks like I’ve dealt with that monster, but I didn’t obtain any rewards. Is my luck not good right now?”

Zhou Chen thought to himself as he quickly moved towards the intact road.

The system had prompted that he might obtain drops from this Survival mission, which also meant that there might not be any drops. From the looks of it, he should have killed the opponent, but there was no reward. That was probably because his luck was bad.

However, after deactivating the Windrun skill and landing on the ground 500 meters away, Zhou Chen quickly sensed an abnormality.

Time seemed to be reversing in the residential area that he had destroyed. The things he had destroyed were quickly recombining and recovering the appearance of the previous state!

“What the hell is this… Isn’t this too perverse?”

Zhou Chen felt like his worldview was about to collapse. He was beginning to doubt the authenticity of this world.

“Looks like I didn’t kill that monster just now. Forget it, it wasn’t easy for me to leave.”

After some thought, Zhou Chen decided to ignore the residential area. He had spent so much effort just now to come out. Even if he returned now, he might not necessarily be able to kill the other party. Instead, he might experience the feeling of being imprisoned again.

Zhou Chen continued walking along the broad road and exploring this seemingly ordinary but actually strange world.

After walking for a while, he realized that apart from the fact that this place looked a little dilapidated and uninhabited, there was nothing unusual about it. It seemed to be a strange empty city.

“The Survival mission lasts for seven days. It’s not long, and it doesn’t seem to be difficult.”

Seven days was really not much for Zhou Chen. With his current physique, even if he did not drink water for seven days, he could safely pass it. There was no need to talk about food which he could replace by sunbathing. He did not feel any pressure at all in this Survival mission.

When his thoughts reached this point, Zhou Chen suddenly saw a large bus drive over from a distant intersection.

The large bus looked old and shabby. The driver’s seat was empty, and no one could be seen inside, but it drove over at a moderate pace.

“Unmanned self-driving bus? Or a ghostly entity?” ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Zhou Chen guessed as he watched the bus driving toward him.

After a while, the bus stopped in front of Zhou Chen and opened the door.

“We have arrived at the Strange City. Passengers, please get off the bus. The next stop is Strange Gateway.”

Listening to the mechanical announcement from the loudspeaker in the bus, Zhou Chen learned that this place was called Strange City, and there was a place nearby called Strange Gateway.

The bus stopped for about ten seconds. Since Zhou Chen did not enter, it closed the door and continued forward.

“It didn’t force me in? Interesting.”

Zhou Chen was actually a little interested in getting on the bus and going to the Strange Gateway to take a look, but he thought that this large bus would have forcibly captured him and moved off, so he did not take a step forward. Unexpectedly, this bus directly left him and did not do anything, making him a little surprised.

“Forget it, I won’t chase after it. In a place like this, it’s better to be cautious. I’ll just ride my motorcycle.”

Zhou Chen quickly gave up on chasing after the departing bus. He took out the hovering motorcycle from his inventory.

This was the perpetual hovering motorbike, a high silver vehicle that looked very cool.

Zhou Chen jumped onto the shuttle-shaped motorcycle that was floating steadily about a meter from the ground and checked its controls.

Soon, he realized that its control was very simple. It was similar to the electric motorcycle. The handles were used to control the direction, the right handle could be twisted to accelerate, and twisting the left handle could control the elevation of the bike. The clutch was for braking.

“The body is very comfortable, and the control is quite good as well.”

Zhou Chen drove the hovering motorcycle and began to quickly move through the city.

The speed limit of this hovering motorcycle was very high, comparable to a missile. However, Zhou Chen did not test the speed. He only used it as an ordinary motorcycle.

A while later, he passed by few streets and stopped the bike in front of a man dressed in a large coat and a mask.

This person was the only human Zhou Chen had found during this period. To be precise, Zhou Chen should call him a humanoid object because he could not sense any blood flowing in this person’s body. It was most likely not a human.

“Hello! Could you tell me where there are people?”

He knew that doing this might be a little risky, but since he had found a suspected intelligent being, he decided to give it a try. In any case, he was confident in his strength.

After Zhou Chen blocked the way and asked, the humanoid figure in front of him slowly stopped. Then, he raised his head slightly to look at Zhou Chen and stared at him with his bloodshot eyes.

His gaze was very cold, and there seemed to be a trace of desire in this coldness. Then, his entire person disappeared in the air like a bubble, leaving only a cold feeling.

“How did he leave? Strange…”

The man directly disappeared without answering Zhou Chen’s question, making Zhou Chen have a bad feeling.

“From his gaze just now, I can tell that he has targeted me. Let’s see what he can do to me.”

Zhou Chen sensed some danger, but he did not take it to heart. It was useless to put on an act against such an enemy.

After this small interlude, Zhou Chen continued to wander around the city on his hovering motorcycle. He increased the speed and drove out, but he did not see the edge of the city. All he saw were empty old buildings.

He even raised the hovering motorcycle to a height of hundreds of meters and accelerated to a few Machs for an hour, but he was unable to leave the city. It seemed like the city was extremely vast or had the effect of spatial confinement.

After a while, the sun set on the horizon. Night fell, and a crescent moon rose into the sky. Zhou Chen put his hovering motorcycle in his inventory and began to wander on the empty city streets.

At a certain moment, he yawned and started feeling sleepy.

“What’s going on? I clearly had a good rest earlier, why am I tired so quickly?”

Zhou Chen was immediately alert. With his current physique, he would be fine even if he did not sleep for a week, so it was really abnormal for him to be tired immediately after the sun set.

“Maybe this place has a hypnotic effect?”

Zhou Chen guessed. Then, he walked to an open booth on the side of the street.

The furnishings inside looked to be similar to a security room. There was a bed, and in front of the bed was a desk and chair. On the desk was a television and an electric fan.

“What a good place to rest.”

Zhou Chen felt that this room was just right for him to sleep in.

However, after entering the room and sitting on the bed, he did not immediately go to sleep. Instead, he picked up the remote control and tried to switch the television on.

His vigilance had not dropped. Since this place wanted to hypnotize him, he would not sleep. Even if he wanted to sleep, he had to wait until the day.

He pressed the television’s power button. With a buzzing sound, the television screen flickered with white lines, as if the signal was not good.

Zhou Chen also did not expect for the television to work normally. He only wanted to try it. Seeing that there was nothing to see, he tried to turn it off.

However, the moment he pressed the power button, the television screen changed. It no longer flickered. The scene quickly became clear, showing a human face.

Zhou Chen was immediately attracted by the image on the screen. He looked at the image on the screen and realized that the face on it was becoming clearer and clearer. It seemed to be a woman’s face.

The woman’s face was narrow and sharp. Her eyes were an extremely abnormal mix of white and red. Her face was pale with some dark circles under her eyes, and her lips were dark green. The face looked like a face of a corpse.

The horrifying woman’s face grew larger and larger on the television screen, like it was going to drill out of the screen. At the same time, the corners of her dark-green lips gradually curled up and she gave a very terrifying smile to Zhou Chen.

“Hehe.”

Seeing that the woman’s face seemed to be about to drill out of the screen, and she was even grinning at him, Zhou Chen did not panic and even replied with a disdainful smile.

“Just come out and attack. What’s the use of this show?”

After so many Survival missions, Zhou Chen had seen countless terrifying monsters.. He was already numb to them, so he was not interested in this eerie woman’s threatening actions.
