Chapter 1057
Chu Xuan's Scheme
Chu Xuan gave a stiff smile and said without any attempt to hide it:
"Like me, they all stand before the gate of the fourth-order gene lock, too afraid to go in."
"We are afraid that even the slightest bit of push will bring the final battle forward."
Zheng Zha frowned: "Is it the final battle again?"
"So what exactly are you two thinking?"
Seeing Chu Xuan remain silent, Zhan Lan, who was next to Zheng Zha, spoke up after thinking for a moment:
"Who is this god you're referring to? The supreme god? Or some other being?"
"Since you two have already mentioned the final battle, why can't you go into details?"
Chu Xuan's smile returned to its expressionless state, and he answered, word by word:
"There are some things that God knows, but God doesn't care."
After saying this, Chu Xuan remained silent no matter how Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan questioned him.
Knowing his character, they had no choice but to give up and set off again.
However, just before they set off again, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared out of thin air and disappeared under Chu Xuan's command.
-
On the other side.
Just three kilometers from the church, Chu Xuan suddenly signaled everyone to stop.
"What's wrong? Have you discovered something again?"
Chu Xuan looked at Zhang Jie and shook his head: "No, we need to start dividing into teams from now on!"
Li Xiao was taken aback when he heard this: "Squad?"
"What's the point of dividing it into two parts?"
As he spoke, he glanced at his watch and at Jill beside him, who was already feeling a bit dizzy from the excessive speed.
"The distance restrictions haven't been lifted yet, how do we split into teams?"
Chu Xuan looked into the distance: "Moss, come out!"
The illusory figure of Moss materialized around Li Xiao.
Let's set aside for now the reactions of the two newcomers and Jill and the other two when they saw this scene.
The veterans of the Central Continent Team gathered around with solemn expressions, staring at Chu Xuan.
“When we were in the church, I was already certain that Moss did not have this limitation.”
"If I'm not mistaken, the same applies to androids."
"So I suggest that Lolita and the other two go on another mission."
Hearing this, Li Xiao asked in confusion, "A mission?"
"What other mission could there be?"
Chu Xuan looked at everyone calmly and said, "It's very simple. Take Red Queen and return to the Hive!"
"Of course, this Red Queen is the one I reconfigured."
Li Xiao frowned: "And then what? What's the point of that?"
"The data in the Hive was copied over by Zheng Zha and me last time, and even the Red Queen was given to you."
Chu Xuan replied calmly, "What I want this time is the data from the Umbrella Corporation headquarters. Although Hive has been shut down, as long as Red Queen returns to her position, she can activate the communication equipment and permissions to contact Umbrella headquarters."
"By taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the Umbrella Corporation's headquarters network, I can not only control nuclear weapons, but also obtain the T-virus experimental data and other virus information that I need."
“Even certain achievements in gene technology, such as cloning technology, artificial womb technology, memory transfer technology, etc., are what I need.”
"Of course, the most important thing is to control or influence when they launch nuclear missiles..."
Just as Li Xiao and the others were listening attentively and finding the information reasonable, Zhao Yingkong, who had been silent all along, suddenly chuckled.
The young woman looked at Chu Xuan with a hint of amusement and interrupted him:
"You really can lie without even blinking."
"Chu Xuan, aren't you eyeing a little girl?"
"No, the loli is just a pretext. What you really want to deal with is probably the clone Zheng Zha, right?"
"I've also heard Li Xiao mention the Demon Team. Let me think... what if Demon Zheng Zha discovers the living loli..."
Li Xiao had actually realized what was going on the moment Zhao Yingkong finished speaking her first sentence.
With his eyes glazed over, Li Xiao entered the third stage of the gene lock without any hindrance, and then gave a bitter smile.
He looked up at Chu Xuan with a complicated expression and sighed.
"I originally thought that with some demons like Chu Xuan around, you would restrain yourself a bit, after all, the most important team right now is the Senzhou team."
"But I didn't expect you to be like this."
"Chu Xuan, if the demon Zheng Zha sees a living loli, let's not even talk about what will happen."
"The demons Chu Xuan and his gang will definitely understand one thing: the real Zheng Zha is still alive."
"The already fragile cooperative relationship may end instantly and turn into a war to the death."
"So, Chu Xuan, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"Let the demon Zheng Zha kill the little girl?"
"Are you planning to send the little girl to do something dangerous?"
"Or perhaps the intention is simply to orchestrate the loli's death to stimulate Zheng Zha's resurgence, or even to unlock his fifth-stage gene lock?"
Faced with Li Xiao's questioning, Chu Xuan remained silent for a moment, then looked at the scattered zombies wandering the street and casually asked a completely unrelated question:
Do you know Zheng Zha?
Both Zhang Jie and Li Xiao, who had just spoken, were taken aback upon hearing this.
The others looked at each other, each wanting to say they understood, but after thinking it over, the words stuck in their throats.
Do they know this captain?
I should be able to say I understand it, but a person's composition is complex and ever-changing.
A cube has six faces, so how many faces should a person have?
Judging others by one's own standards, one can imagine the consequences.
Li Xiao rubbed his temples and shook his head, saying:
"Chu Xuan, no matter what, no matter what you say, I will not release the Demon Refining Pot."
Chu Xuan looked at Li Xiao:
"At the beginning, Zheng Zha was confused and lost in the real world, but that did not prevent him from being kind, loyal and righteous."
"Of course, he was impulsive and somewhat weak at that time, but later..."
With each horror movie, there are countless choices and desperate situations to be faced.
Zheng Zha is making continuous progress, growing at a speed that surprises everyone.
He gradually became a qualified captain.
Even if he was still driven by emotions and even indecisive at this time, it did not prevent him from becoming stronger.
At this point, the desire to protect became the greatest force driving him to continuously grow stronger.
"He wanted to protect the teammates he respected, and the little girl who was still alive around him."
As he spoke, Chu Xuan suddenly changed the subject.
"After I met the first god, I began to study that special power called the Light of the Mind."
"It has been proven in the Hanging Pavilion that the Light of the Mind is a unique ability within the fourth-order gene lock."
"Moreover, this ability is quite idealistic, even somewhat similar to λ-drive, but it is more powerful and focused."
"If I'm not mistaken, the demon Zheng Zha's genetic lock has been unlocked to the intermediate or even advanced level of the fourth tier, and he has mastered this power called the Light of the Mind."
"Judging from his behavior, the demon Zheng Zha's desire to protect others is not strong. Combined with his experiences, the only two things that drive him to become stronger are hatred and loathing."
Chen Zilong was taken aback and couldn't help but interrupt:
"Wait, I know about hatred. Zheng Zha from the Demon Team has a visible sense of world-weariness or destructive desires, but what the hell is hatred?"
“I remember the captain saying that those veteran members of the Demon Squad had all been killed by his clones.”
Not only Chen Zilong, but everyone else had the same expression.
Only Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong figured it out.
"It's a clone!"
Zhao Yingkong rested her chin on her hand and said softly.
"What Demon Zheng Zha actually killed were all clones. Don't forget the true nature of the Demon Team."
"Those original bodies are still alive and well in their respective teams in the cycle of reincarnation."
Even the original demons are far more powerful than the clones that were created from them. If I understand correctly, Chu Xuan's target of revenge should be them. "Of course, I think our captain is also within that range."
Li Xiao took over the conversation.
"Moreover, those who can be copied by the Demon Team are all individuals recognized by the Supreme God as having potential."
"Therefore, the original strength of these people should not be weak, which may be one of the reasons that indirectly promotes the continuous growth of the clone Zheng Zha."
After saying that, Li Xiao said with a bitter expression, "Alright, Chu Xuan, I know what you're trying to do."
"Believe me, you will regret it if you do this, because Zheng Zha will kill you the moment he recovers."
"And without you, the Central Continent Team will ultimately..."
Chu Xuan acted as if he hadn't heard those words and continued speaking to himself:
"For the demon Zheng Zha, all hatred begins with only one foundation: loli."
"So I want to know, when this foundation is broken, what changes will occur in Zheng Zha, who has overcome his inner demons and mastered the light of the mind?"
"Suicide? Demonic possession? Or genetic breakdown?"
"Or will you escape reality and create a second..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xuan was enveloped in an automatically triggered light shield, then broke through a wave of air and was sent flying backward.
The sounds of banging echoed throughout the street, destroying no fewer than dozens of houses along the way.
Li Xiao shut down Destruction and stood where Chu Xuan had just been, letting out a breath.
His eyes were devoid of emotion as he stared at Chu Xuan, who was rising from the ruins of the house.
"You know what, Chu Xuan, sometimes you can really make me angry."
"This is the first time I've laid a hand on you, and I hope it's the only time, because I don't have Zheng Zha's patience."
“Zheng Zha believes in you, and I believe in you too, but the difference between us is that he believes you can definitely lead the Zhongzhou team to victory.”
"And what I believe is that you will not care about our lives!"
Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
Even though Li Xiao attacked him just now, it was still the same.
Chu Xuan approached.
"Make a decision, Li Xiao. I can think of the function of the beehive, and so can my other self."
"They definitely have androids. If Loli doesn't appear, then it will be either Yue'er or Xin'er."
Li Xiao looked at Chu Xuan: "The Demon Team's power is limited by Alice, but it's uncertain how strong their androids are."
Does it really have to be this way?
Cheng Xiao, sitting cross-legged on Saito Hajime's shoulder, was peacefully enjoying the show.
But what he didn't expect was that a 360-degree turn would end up back on him?
When everyone's eyes turned to him, Cheng Xiao's baby face practically contorted with question marks.
"Um, Colonel Chu Xuan, isn't Moss enough on his own?"
"And you should also have other robots that have undergone AllSpark transformation, right?"
Cheng Xiao paused for a moment before speaking again.
"Alright, although I don't know what you're planning to do, I agree to let Yue'er go, but Xin'er can forget about it."
"The zombie bloodline does fit the world of Resident Evil. If I really encounter the Devil Team, I should be able to stay safe as long as I blend into the zombie horde without the God Watch."
Cheng Xiao agreed.
Li Xiao could only nod in agreement, since the zombie bloodline was indeed very suitable for the Resident Evil world to some extent.
And just as the senior members of the Central Continent Team continued their discussion...
The three main characters and two newcomers on the other side finally recovered a bit from the daze of their rapid journey.
After all, being lifted up and down by someone's hands is really inhuman.
"What exactly are these random superheroes trying to do?"
As Jill spoke, she banged her head hard, as if only that could make her feel a little better.
The blonde reporter was deathly pale, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn't: "Are you really just looking for a little girl?"
Black police officer: "Also, that thing that just appeared out of thin air, was it a robot?"
Seeing the three characters from the story looking over, the two newcomers quickly waved their hands.
"We had no idea. You can probably tell by now that we're just ordinary people, not even as physically fit as you police officers."
Jill looked at the two women opposite her who needed to lean against the wall to stand and nodded with a strange expression.
But even so, Jill became more and more confused.
If this is a mysterious superhero team, then what are they doing with two ordinary girls?
Jill shook her head and pressed her hand to her chest:
“The zombies, them, and another group in the church, they’re all so strange.”
After saying that, Jill and the other two huddled together and whispered something, occasionally glancing at the newcomers or veterans.
The two newlyweds didn't feel anything about this scene. They were from different worlds, so there was no real connection between them.
Instead, the two of them ended up together.
"You can call me Sasha, what about you?"
"Hello, my name is Xia Yan, Xia as in summer, Yan as in speech." Despite feeling unwell, the short-haired girl still extended her right hand.
The long-haired girl, Zhu Shasha, smiled and shook hands with her.
They were both newcomers and both girls.
Although they haven't exchanged many words yet, they've become much closer than they were at the beginning.
"So you understood everything? What were those seniors saying?"
Zhu Shasha shook her head helplessly: "I don't understand, but I feel it should be related to the mission on the watch, and I noticed that those characters in the story can't see the watch on our hands."
As he spoke, he even waved his hand at Jill and the other two, indicating that anyone without nearsightedness could clearly see the words at that distance.
But this result only made Jill and the other two look at them with even more affection.
Xia Yan looked down and asked again in a low voice, "What about the other group at the church?"
"Didn't the watch say team fight?"
"Why can they still coexist peacefully?"
Zhu Shasha shook her head: "I don't know either. I feel that both teams are very strange. They seem to have a good relationship, but they also seem to have a bad relationship. Anyway, I can't figure it out."
Xia Yan gave a wry smile: "Me too, but what I find strangest is those two people who look exactly alike."
Zhu Shasha nodded in agreement.
The two looked at each other, almost bursting into tears.
Fortunately, the two found another topic to talk about.
"By the way, didn't you say you were a writer?"
"Can I ask what you wrote?"
"If I manage to get back alive, I can still go and see it."
Zhu Shasha shook her head with a wry smile: "Writers don't necessarily write novels. I actually write short plays, but we are still writers."
Xia Yan: "A script? The kind of script for TV dramas and movies?"
Zhu Shasha waved her hand: "No, no, no, I'm not that high-class."
"It's a murder mystery game, have you heard of it?"
"It means breaking down the whole story into smaller stories focusing on individuals, and then combining them to form the complete story."
Xia Yan nodded, because she not only knew about it, but had also played it.
Perhaps it's because of the mood-boosting potion; otherwise, no one would discuss murder mystery games when there are zombies around.
But just as the two were about to continue their conversation, they were interrupted by someone they had never met before.
Xia Yan and Zhu Shasha looked at each other, who was dressed in a black suit, had a tall and straight figure, and had dyed his hair in various colors.
He belatedly uttered an "oh," finally realizing what was happening. (End of Chapter)
