Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Jin Zi finally couldn't hold back any longer: "What...what do you want to do? Do you want to kill them all?"

They don't endanger the existence of the shelter in the wild; many of them were even born in the wild, and that's their home.

Li Xia gave her a strange look: "Why should I kill them all? Why should I clean them up?"

There are just some things that bother me, so I want to go out and see for myself.

Azure reached out to stop Violet from asking further questions, and he simply nodded:

"Sure, I'll have someone send the map over when I get back."

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Chapter 19 Wilderness, A Collapsing World

After the three left, Aowu flicked its tail and crawled back into its egg.

"Boss, are we going into the wilderness?"

Li Xia nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the mastermind behind this series of events also lives in the wild, and shouldn't be too far from here."

If they wanted to make a deal, if they wanted to do something, there was only one place they could go: a shelter in the wild.

A cold glint gradually appeared in Li Xia's eyes.

Everything that passes by leaves a trace.

This time, he was going to try to catch them by the skin of their teeth; he wanted to see exactly who was behind all this trouble.

After all, he hadn't forgotten what he promised Helena; Tina's death wasn't the end of the matter!

Moreover... his own mission was also involved.

.....................

In a dark basement, a screen was playing footage of Li Xia standing alone in front of a breach, charging towards a million-level monster.

The faint light emitted by the screen provided only meager illumination, and the figures of several people were swallowed up by the darkness.

The video played repeatedly until finally someone pressed the pause button.

"How is it?" a gentle voice asked.

"It looks like a breakthrough, but it's uncertain."

Another androgynous voice, slightly hoarse, spoke softly:

"But to be able to kill the blood mist, I think it's at least close to the critical point, or is currently at the critical point."

"I think you're all too scared. What are you worried about?"

Another, slightly younger voice carried a hint of arrogance:

"So what if we break through the second critical point?"

What we want to do is not to kill him or fight him.

"Speed ​​up, we just need to achieve our goal."

"That's right, exactly."

The first person to speak paused for a moment, then sighed softly:

"Then let's speed it up."

I suspect he may already be aware of our presence and is trying to find us.

"Darkflame is really a lucky guy."

Unexpectedly, someone once considered the worst title hunter has been so lucky to reach such heights.

This luck…

He shook his head and didn't continue:

"Alright everyone, let's speed things up!"

.........................

In about half a day, Canglan sent someone to deliver the map.

This is a hand-drawn parchment map with a distinctly vintage and adventurous feel.

The paper used was parchment, and the approximate area was drawn on it with carbon ink.

Overall, this world was once incredibly vast, but the map provided by Azure only covers a radius of 500 kilometers.

500 kilometers away, there were only one or two isolated gathering points, marked with the words "existence pending".

"They've only explored such a small area all these years?"

Aowu found it unbelievable; this efficiency was far too slow.

"Two scenarios."

Li Xia held up two fingers: "The Hunter's Guild hasn't been around for very long, maybe only twenty or thirty years at most."

The dangers in the wild can be quite great, even greater than we expect, so they have been honed little by little with human lives and time.

The second scenario...

The Hunters' Guild is consciously controlling production. If hunters bring back too much or are too efficient, it could cause a sharp drop in the prices of these resources, which would be bad for all hunters.

Li Xia paused for a moment: "I think both possibilities exist. The dangers in the wild are extremely high, and the Hunter's Guild is indeed intentionally controlling the area."

He first scanned the parchment into the smart device he bought from the temple, and then input the pre-disaster map into it for comparison and analysis.

After he had finished preparing, he stood up:

"Get ready, we're going for a walk in the countryside."

................................

At border checkpoint No. 19, the border patrol troops, who had just experienced the breach of the barrier, were no longer as lazy as before.

They stared suspiciously at everyone who tried to come in or out; in reality, most of them were hunters or refugees.

The shelter's policy towards homeless people has always been to ignore them, as if they were not human beings and that as long as they were given some basic food to keep them from starving, that would be enough.

They can go out as they please, and as long as there's no mental pollution involved, they can come back in.

This still puzzles Li Xia to this day, because from any perspective, these tens of millions of refugees represent an extremely powerful potential resource.

It should absolutely not be wasted like this, and there is a continuous stream of titled hunters such as Carly, Azure, and Violet among the refugees.

In other words, these refugees could potentially produce talented individuals who would be of great importance to the entire shelter.

No, it should be said that the vast majority of refugees will inevitably give rise to all kinds of talented people.

But the leader of Yuanxu simply turned a blind eye.

"You're a level 5 hunter from the Hunter's Guild?"

The border officer looked at Li Xia's photo on the document and compared it suspiciously:

"I've seen almost all the level 5 hunters in the Hunter's Guild, so how come I've never heard of anyone named 'Xia'?"

"They just got promoted. My parents are level 5 hunters, but they haven't really been out in the wilderness much. This time they're going to go out and see the world."

Li Xia lied without batting an eye, which is certainly possible, but definitely a minority.

"Oh, I see..."

The border guard suddenly realized that it was just like how his uncle was a junior supervisor of the fortified defenses, which was why he was able to get this lucrative position.

He then looked at Li Xia's standard hunter attire: a hat with upturned brim, a very fitted leather jacket, and a small bag tied to his highly stretchy trousers.

The belt is secured with various buckles...

The equipment is all new, and the logos of those workshops are exactly the same as those of hunters who grew up lying around eating their family's resources.

He picked up the blue stamp and stamped it on the surface: "Alright, go ahead!"

It's dangerous outside, unlike here. If anything happens, we run back as fast as we can.

Perhaps out of consideration for their shared background as "radishes," the chubby border guard made a rare remark.

Li Xia agreed, nodded his thanks, and then followed the passage into the three-section split room.

Several people were already waiting in the room, mostly dressed as hunters.

Upon seeing Li Xia's attire, everyone was taken aback, especially by the badge on his chest that clearly marked him as a Level 5 Hunter.

After thinking it over carefully, everyone was even more confused by this unfamiliar face.

Several hunters exchanged glances, then approached: "Friend, we haven't seen you in the guild before."

"Who bestowed this badge upon you?"

This is a probing move. Anyone who advances to level 5 hunter is personally awarded a badge by three titled hunters. By asking this question, one can roughly determine the faction—actually, it can't be called a faction, but rather a certain inclination.

"The badge that Lord Azure put on me."

Li Xia recalled the "100 Little-Known Facts for Hunters" that he had crammed before setting off:

"I resigned from my job and was lucky enough to be promoted to level 5, which was the special promotion route."

Therefore, you may not have seen it.

The person, who also wore the Level 5 Hunter insignia, suddenly realized: "No wonder!"

Although relatively few people leave from within companies, it's not entirely impossible.

Some researchers wanted to see the world of the Cataclysmic Era, while others couldn't stay in their companies for other reasons.

In short, it belongs to the rare but definitely exists type.

"Friend, you've never been to the wilderness, have you?"

Li Xia nodded: "Yes, this is my first time going there too."

The hunter pondered for a moment and then said, "Brother, would you like to come with our team?"

This time we took the Tambala route, which is a familiar route, and most of the potential dangers have been eliminated, making it relatively safer.

If it's your first time going, you won't know many things. But after following other people a few times, you'll probably get the hang of how to live in the wild.

Li Xia was taken aback. He hadn't expected that the hunters' mutual assistance was not just empty talk; they really wanted to help other hunters.

"No need, thank you."

The reason I went out this time was simply because Guild Leader Canglan wanted me to get familiar with things.

He asked me to deliver a message to the Iris Village, asking them to prepare some supplies.

“Iris Village?” The Level 5 Hunter nodded. “This village is the closest to here, only a few dozen kilometers away.”

It seems that Lord Azure's first step is to let you familiarize yourself with things on your own.

Okay, be careful! May the Scarlet Banner protect you.

After exchanging a few words, they returned to their seats.

Before long, almost everyone had gathered in the room.

As the green light flashed and turned red, the door leading in slowly closed, a pale blue barrier rose, and then the door leading out on the other side lifted up.

In an instant, an indescribable odor rushed into their nostrils, and the hunters, with perfect understanding, raised the various colored scarves tied around their necks to cover their mouths and noses.

This handkerchief looks similar to a towel, but it is actually made of a kind of ultra-high molecular weight material that can effectively filter many common toxins and dust in the air.

It's easy to use and quite cheap, even as a purely consumable item, making it an essential piece of equipment for every hunter venturing into the wild.

Li Xia followed their example, raising the triangular scarf around her neck to cover her mouth and nose.

Sure enough, the smell was less sweet and less fishy.

The hunters stood at the entrance, looking at the ravaged world outside.

Even though I've watched it countless times, that inexplicable sense of sorrow and destiny still lingers in my heart.

They nodded to each other in silence and left in their respective predetermined directions.

If two teams are heading in the same direction, they will automatically merge into one team and move forward silently.
