A bizarre and terrifying experience; I messed up the dungeon world.

In the real world, the sirens outside grew louder.

The arrival of zero. It did not stop.

Han Yingying turned around and walked towards the weapons rack.

She needs better weapons. More intelligence.

She needs to know how to bring Han Fei out of the game.

"Ah Jie, check all the information about Changsheng Biotechnology from ten years ago," Han Yingying said.

"Old Li, Jianguo, go to the black market and get some heavy weaponry."

"Dried tangerine peel. Shield repair."

"Lu Chen. Come with me to the Nirvana Guild headquarters."

Han Yingying sheathed the straight knife back into the scabbard on her side.

"They owe me an explanation," Han Yingying said.

The night outside was deep. Red eyes were faintly visible in the clouds.

The hunt continues.

The night was deep. There were no streetlights. Overturned trash cans lay on the ground, emitting a rancid smell.

Han Yingying walked in front. Lu Chen followed behind. The two maintained a distance of two meters.

"The weapon is worn out," Han Yingying said. She drew her straight knife from its sheath. There were three notches on the blade, left from when she cut into the Black Widow's metal skeleton.

"Buy it on the black market," Lu Chen said. He fiddled with the purple butterfly knife in his hand. The purple light was very conspicuous in the night.

"Let's go to the Nirvana Guild first." Han Yingying sheathed her straight sword. "They owe me a debt."

"Where are Jianguo and Lao Li?" Han Yingying asked.

"We're on the black market," Wang Jianguo's voice came through. The background noise was deafening; there was the clanging of metal. "The boss here is ripping me off. He wants five thousand points for a used Remington. I'm trying to reason with him."

"Don't cause trouble. Wait for me outside Changning Building after you buy the equipment," Han Yingying said.

"Chen Pi is repairing the shield. I'll go over when it's finished," A-Jie added.

Han Yingying cut off communication.

At the intersection ahead, the traffic lights are out. An abandoned bus is blocking the road.

Something is lying on the roof of the bus.

It has a human-like body shape, long limbs, and grayish-white skin. It is not wearing clothes and has a row of bone spurs on its back.

It turned its head. Its face had no eyes. Only a gaping mouth, filled with sharp teeth.

There was no system notification sound. This is the real world. There is no system notification.

Han Yingying stopped in her tracks. Her hand rested on the hilt of the knife.

The monster jumped off the car roof. It landed silently. It lay on the ground, using all four limbs, and crawled towards Han Yingying. It was very fast.

Lu Chen stepped forward. With a flick of his wrist, the purple butterfly knife spun at his fingertips.

"I'll do it," Lu Chen said.

The monster pounced. Its mouth opened. It lunged at Lu Chen's neck.

Lu Chen turned sideways. His butterfly knife slashed upwards, cutting open the monster's jaw. Green fluid spurted out.

The monster felt no pain. It twisted its body in the air, its hind legs kicking towards Lu Chen's chest.

Lu Chen took a half step back, dodging the attack. His knife slid smoothly into the monster's thigh. He pulled it out, dragging along a piece of grayish-white flesh.

The monster landed. It pounced again.

Instead of retreating, Lu Chen advanced. He crouched, slid, and passed under the monster's abdomen. He then slashed upwards with his butterfly knife.

The monster's abdomen was cut open. Its entrails spilled onto the ground. It collapsed. It twitched a few times. Then it lay still.

Lu Chen stood up and shook off the green fluid from the knife.

"This thing has lower defense than the one in the dungeon," Lu Chen said.

"Without system support." Han Yingying walked over and kicked the monster's corpse. "Pure biological mutation. Zero's infiltration is getting more and more serious."

The two continued walking forward.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Changning Building.

The building is thirty stories high. The exterior is a black glass curtain wall. The main entrance is closed. There are no lights inside.

"Ah Jie. Monitor it," Han Yingying said.

"It's all set. There are no living guards on the outside. They're all robotic eyes. I've replaced your images with a looping feed. You have five minutes to go in," A-Jie said.

Han Yingying walked to the gate. The gate had an electronic lock.

She took a decoder out of her pocket and stuck it on the electronic lock. The numbers on the screen jumped rapidly.

Thirty seconds later. The lock opened.

Han Yingying pushed open the door and went inside. Lu Chen followed. The door closed behind them.

The lobby was dark. There was a strong smell of engine oil in the air.

Han Yingying took out a flashlight and turned it on. The beam of light swept across the lobby.

Behind the reception desk sat two security guards. Their heads were down. They remained silent.

Han Yingying walked over. The flashlight shone on the security guard's face.

The security guard's face was made of metal. A data cable was plugged into the back of his head, connected to a wall socket.

"In hibernation mode," Han Yingying said.

She turned and walked towards the elevator.

"The elevator is out of service. It will trigger the alarm. Take the stairs." Han Yingying pushed open the door to the fire escape.

The two climbed up the stairs.

Thirty floors. They climbed for ten minutes. Their breathing was steady.

Reaching the top floor, I pushed open the fire escape door. It was a long corridor. Offices lined both sides of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor stood a double mahogany door. The president's office.

Han Yingying turned off her flashlight and walked forward, hugging the wall. Lu Chen walked on the other side.

The mahogany door was ajar. A faint light shone from inside.

Han Yingying stopped by the door, listening to what was happening inside.

There were sounds of rummaging through things. A drawer was pulled open. Papers were being moved.

It's not a venomous fang. Nor is it an owl.

Han Yingying gestured to Lu Chen. Lu Chen nodded.

Han Yingying kicked the door open and rushed inside. Her straight sword was drawn.

The office was a mess. Documents were scattered all over the floor.

A woman stood in front of the desk.

The woman was wearing a tight black outfit. She wore a black face mask and was holding a hard drive.

The woman saw Han Yingying. She didn't panic. She stuffed the hard drive into her pocket, then reached for her lower back and pulled out two short knives.

Han Yingying looked at the woman.

The woman's stance is very stable. Her center of gravity is low. She holds two swords crossed in front of her chest. It's a defensive posture.

Lin Qi looked at the two people who rushed in.

Lin Qi thought. These two people walked silently. Their actions in breaking down the door were swift and decisive. The man stood in the doorway, blocking their escape route. The woman's knife-wielding technique was very professional. They wouldn't be easy to deal with.

"You are not the one who has achieved Nirvana," Han Yingying said.

Lin Qi remained silent. She stared into Han Yingying's eyes, searching for a flaw.

"Leave the hard drive. You can leave," Han Yingying said.

Lin Qi sneered. The short swords clashed together, producing a crisp sound.

She launched the attack. Her speed was incredible. Her left hand stabbed at Han Yingying's throat with a knife. Her right hand slashed at Han Yingying's abdomen with a knife.

Han Yingying raised her straight sword to block the left-hand sword. She then stepped back to dodge the right-hand sword.

Lin Qi pressed forward relentlessly, brandishing his twin swords. The flashes of light from the blades merged into a continuous blur.

Han Yingying adopted a defensive stance, refusing to attack. She was observing Lin Qi's tactics.

Lin Qi's swordsmanship is wild. There are no set patterns. It's all about killing moves. Every move is fatal.

Han Yingying parried with her straight knife. Seizing the opportunity, she kicked Lin Qi in the wrist.

The dagger slipped from Lin Qi's hand. It flew out and embedded itself in the wall.

Lin Qi didn't retreat. Using the force of Han Yingying's kick, she spun around, her left hand gripping the knife in reverse, and stabbed towards Han Yingying's back.
