Chapter 1050
Entering the New Team Battle
Zheng Zha's room had already been tacitly accepted as a dining room by everyone a few days ago.
Every day, they ate either under the tutelage of the main deity or at Zheng Zha's house.
Zhang Jie looked at Na'er, who walked out from behind the little girl, and the eager expression on his face quickly disappeared, finally turning gentle.
The person who was urging Chu Xuan just a second ago has now completely changed.
"Ahem, as the saying goes, nothing is more important than eating. Let's put the battle aside for now and take a break."
"I feel like the next horror movie will definitely be much simpler."
Seeing Zhang Jie nod confidently, Li Xiao also said:
"I hope so, but I am indeed hungry."
All everyone can do is clasp their hands together and pray to Buddha for protection in the face of tomorrow's unknown horror movie.
The rest was much simpler.
After all, nothing in life is simpler than eating.
Eating is always the most important thing in a person's life, without exception.
It's worth noting that among the four vices of eating, drinking, gambling, and womanizing, eating ranks first, which is enough to prove its importance.
Chinese people have a habit of strengthening relationships at the dinner table.
Especially after just experiencing a long battle, everyone in the Central Continent Team wanted a change of mood.
However, some people quickly became complacent, such as Cheng Xiao, who started telling adult jokes as soon as he sat down at the table.
He had barely finished speaking when Yue'er punched him out of the room.
Of course, this meal was different in some ways, such as Chu Xuan's seating arrangement.
Although there were only brightly colored fruits, lush green vegetables, and bell peppers in front of this person, watching this person chew carefully...
Everyone present had a feeling.
That means this person's sense of taste is probably about to recover.
When the missing genes in his body are replenished, it means that Chu Xuan will officially step into the fourth stage of gene lock.
This is both good news and bad news for the Central Continent team.
However, no one asked the question.
After all, sometimes the less you know, the safer you are.
Time passed little by little.
In any case, the time to enter the world of horror movies has come once again.
Because of Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu, everyone arrived at the Main God Square early.
After placing Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu in the spot illuminated by the main god's pillar of light, Li Xiao began to wait with the others.
"Enter the beam of light within thirty seconds. Target locked. Resident Evil 2 initiating teleportation..."
The familiar words made Li Xiao's mind wander.
However, once the white beam of light enveloped his entire body, he inevitably fell back into unconscious darkness.
When all the light pillars retract into the light sphere above.
Absolute silence returned to the once-empty main square.
-
It was that familiar hazy, indistinct feeling again, as I broke free from that dreamlike, half-awake state.
When Li Xiao opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yingkong and Chu Xuan already looking around at the newcomers on the ground.
Li Xiao looked to the side and realized that they were standing in a relatively spacious parking lot.
The surrounding facilities and ground appeared quite dilapidated, and the cars inside the parking lot were in complete disarray.
Many vehicles were crowded at the entrance and exit, and a few cars were overturned or overturned in their parking spaces.
The cement floor was covered with inexplicable bloodstains and various scratches.
The gaze is directed outwards.
In the distant city, ruins lay scattered, high-rises collapsed, streets were deserted, and car wrecks littered the ground.
The rows of crows on the power lines were the only animals in sight.
However, the scarlet eyes of these crows told everyone that something bad had happened here.
Li Xiao's gaze swept quickly across the area.
Most importantly, everything here brought him an unsettling sense of deathly stillness.
Except for the familiar sun in the sky, everything here is different from the real world.
We've seen doomsday scenarios before.
In Transformers, Pacific Rim, The Matrix, and so on.
They had seen all sorts of apocalypses, and even personally experienced them.
But none of them are what they look like now.
"Did you know that zombies are a major genre in post-apocalyptic novels?"
After Chen Zilong finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xuan along with Li Xiao.
Li Xiao nodded and then smiled:
"The world of Resident Evil, huh? Looks like Zheng Zha and I didn't work in vain back then."
After saying that inexplicably, Li Xiao finally spoke up: "Let's analyze this, Chu Xuan. Can you figure out where the plot is going right now?"
Chu Xuan did not answer the question, but instead looked around and asked in return:
"I need to know what you and Zheng Zha experienced during your second time entering the Resident Evil. The more details the better."
Li Xiao was not surprised by Chu Xuan's question; in fact, she had already prepared an answer.
"When we entered the world of Resident Evil, after we arrived in New York, we took a plane directly into Raccoon City, which was already under lockdown, and then entered the Hive."
"As soon as we entered, a side quest was triggered, just as planned, which allowed us to acquire the Red Queen."
"That's when we discovered that killing zombies or crawlers, which are infected by the T-virus, gives you reward points."
So we immediately changed our original plan, not rushing to complete the task, but instead began a frenzied harvest.
"But at the last moment, the Red Queen turned against us and tried to kill me and Zheng Zha in the hive."
It took us a lot of effort to escape back then.
Hearing this, Chu Xuan's expression turned serious: "I need to know how much of your strength you revealed back then."
Li Xiao was taken aback, but still answered:
"Zheng Zha activated the explosion and used the Snow Drinking Saber. I used my flying sword and protective jade pendant. Oh, and I also used the Necronomicon to summon some mummies."
"Well, that's all!"
Chu Xuan nodded, his expression inexplicably relaxing considerably.
"If I'm not mistaken, the timeline of this world should be continuous with the timeline after you left."
"In other words, the plot of Resident Evil 2 is probably just entering its climax."
-
Acre Mountains, Raccoon City.
Resident Evil 2's plot connects to the first film.
With Zheng Zha's help, Alice and the special forces members who managed to escape from the Hive were captured and quarantined by the Umbrella Corporation.
Alice was taken to the Raccoon City Central Hospital and injected with some kind of drug.
However, the leak of the T-virus from the hive led to a severe viral crisis throughout the city.
As a result, the T-virus broke out in full force just a few hours later.
The Umbrella Corporation quickly realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately dispatched personnel to escort key personnel from Raccoon City to their evacuation.
They also dispatched troops to physically cordon off the entire city.
………………
Alice suddenly opened her eyes while lying in a hospital bed in the city's central hospital.
As the blankness in my eyes faded, extreme pain began to sweep over my entire body, until the trembling stopped.
Alice also recalled everything that had happened before.
Upon waking, she violently disassembled all the instruments connected to her body, then, naked, grabbed her red dress and leather boots and walked out of the deserted hospital.
At this moment, Raccoon City was no longer as bustling as usual, and was filled with an unusual desolation.
So much so that Alice couldn't see a single person after she went outside.
All the vehicles parked on the roadside had their doors open, including the police cars.
Looking at the red bloodstains scattered across the street and the deserted streets, she seemed to understand something. She chose the Harley-Davidson motorcycle that was in the best condition and had the key in the ignition, and got on.
However, instead of heading towards the city exit, she went to the nearest police station.
And it was at this time that two people had just left this world.
New people are also coming in.
For example, a parking lot a few kilometers away, or the rooftop of a building.
........................
Just as Li Xiao and the others were about to look down at the main quest,
The voice of "the Supreme God" appeared in the minds of all the veterans.
[Main Mission: Find the doctor's daughter, Shirley Birkin, and escape Raccoon City before the nuclear explosion. All team members will receive a D-rank side quest and 1000 reward points.]
[The Senzhou Team, the Demon Team, and the Zhongzhou Team arrive simultaneously... Killing an unlocked member of the opposing team will earn you 2,000 reward points and a C-level side quest.]
Killing the enemy member who unlocked the gene lock will grant 7,000 reward points and one B-level side quest.
[One point is deducted for each teammate killed, and one point is awarded for each enemy member killed. The final score is multiplied by 2000 to determine the reward points for the remaining team members.]
Everyone who heard it clearly froze in place.
After regaining his senses, Li Xiao gasped and whispered:
"Wow, this is really a team battle!"
"I'm not surprised that our team is close in strength to the Demon team, after all, we have Brother Jie and Sakura Sora, but what's up with this Senzhou team?"
"If the North American team wasn't lying before, isn't this just a small farming team of only two people?"
Zhang Jie, standing to the side, looked thoughtful, then spoke first:
"The only possibility I can think of is that the Senzhou team did something in the last horror movie that caused the God's evaluation of their team to rise rapidly in a short period of time."
"They can even rival the Demons and us."
"If I'm not mistaken, they must have found some kind of score-boosting mechanism to obtain a massive amount of reward points and a large number of side quests."
"After all, I have experience!"
Upon hearing Zhang Jie's words, most people suddenly realized what was going on.
Only Chu Xuan kept staring at the God Watch.
Li Xiao then shifted his attention to what was beneath him.
The parking lot floor was smeared with blood.
Besides Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu, there are two other newcomers this time.
They were all women. One had long, straight black hair and was wearing a yellow and white short dress, with sheer stockings and sneakers on her lower body—a typical sporty look for a white-collar woman.
The other one is tall with short hair that reaches her ears; judging from her figure, she's probably someone who works out regularly.
However, these two are dressed more like they'd be on a date in the real world than in the world of Resident Evil 2.
"Two newcomers, so is the difficulty level for this horror movie thirteen people?"
Li Xiao, Zhao Yingkong, Chu Xuan, Zhang Jie, Saito Ichi, Lingdian, Cheng Xiao, Zhu Wen, Chen Zilong, and the "sleeping" Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu.
After counting on his fingers, Cheng Xiao jumped onto the newcomer, nodded with a serious expression, and began to inspect him.
"Hmm, eighty-six, seventy, ninety-one, not bad, not bad, the other one is..."
Chen Zilong's eyes widened: "No, what are you checking?"
Cheng Xiao looked up and said confidently, "Of course it's the measurements!"
He had just finished saying that.
The next second, a long leg delivered a side kick.
Cheng Xiao, still in his infant form, flew out and landed with a thud on a light shield that shimmered with pale gold.
So much so that when he fell face down, two of his front teeth broke off.
It was only when he first entered that he was protected by the main god; otherwise, Zhao Yingkong's kick could have sent Cheng Xiao back to China.
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Xiao slapped his forehead and looked at Moss beside him.
Needless to say, the personal information of the two girls was retrieved.
Li Xiao sighed after just one glance.
A role model among ordinary people.
Let alone athletes, these two beauties probably couldn't even handle a 100-meter sprint.
Zhu Wen looked at the two newlyweds on the ground and said:
"Since it's a team battle, why don't we do it the same way as before and put them into the Demon Refining Pot?"
"We'll train them in the virtual world after they return."
Chen Zilong and the others nodded in agreement.
However, Zhang Jie refused outright.
The most experienced member of the Central Continent team said with a wry smile, "You probably haven't seen the distance limit yet, have you? Actually, besides the main quest, there's another name in the lower right corner of the watch."
Saito Hajime quickly looked through the text and finally read out the name.
“Jill, Valentine!”
"Wait, there's another number after that, 1000 meters? What does that mean?"
Zhang Jie pointed to a spot not far away and shrugged, saying, "Look, they're here!"
The members of the Zhongzhou team looked up and then realized what was happening.
It was right after Saito Hajime uttered that name.
At an intersection a few hundred meters away.
A stunningly beautiful brown-haired woman with a hot figure, wearing a blue tube top and black jeans, led a group of flustered and bewildered ordinary people around the corner.
However, the beautiful woman at the very front was shrouded in a golden light that only they could see, unlike the other characters in the story.
Li Xiao frowned and asked, "Is this a character binding mechanism?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to his forehead.
“I heard Zheng Zha tell me before that his first time entering a horror movie was in Resident Evil 1, where there was a similar setting.”
"Okay, I thought this would finally be easier, but it turns out the difficulty has increased several times over!"
Hearing Li Xiao's sigh, Cheng Xiao got up from the ground and said:
"Please, even without this requirement, it's not simple, okay?"
"This is a team battle, and we're facing the legendary Demon Team. I heard from Chen Zilong that they have a captain and a clone of Colonel Chu."
"They're practically an upgraded version of the Central Continent Team."
Li Xiao glanced at the girl beside him who had a smile on her face the whole time, and at Zhang Jie standing opposite him carrying a Desert Eagle.
"I'm sure it will be very simple."
Although he said that, Li Xiao still began to think.
"This character binding is probably meant to restrict us, thereby increasing the difficulty."
"And if I'm not mistaken, it's not just us, the Senzhou team and the Demon team should also be in the same situation."
Hearing this, Saito asked curiously, "Actually, I'm curious what would happen if this distance were exceeded?"
Zhang Jie said with a serious expression, "They will be directly annihilated by the God of War."
"One type I know of is that it explodes with a bang."
Saito and the others were stunned upon hearing this description.
Is annihilation always this violent?
Zhao Yingkong broke the brief silence by asking, "With such restrictions, plus team battles..."
"So the main god wants our three teams to engage in a full-scale battle?"
Chu Xuan, who had remained silent since the mission began, seemed to have figured something out.
He looked at Zhao Yingkong and replied:
"No, if that's the case, then the ideal situation would be two teams, with one main quest and one reversed, and distance restrictions would be sufficient."
"Having three teams is completely unnecessary." (End of Chapter)
