Chapter 1077
GANTZ Enhanced Suit
The demon Chu Xuan stood up and walked to an operating platform in the mechanical workshop. His hands moved in a blurry blur as he began designing something again. Then, without turning his head, he said:
"It's actually very simple."
The first possibility is that they discover this when they have one last chance to revive.
They were just a hair's breadth away from completing the main quest, and even managed to wipe out two powerful teams and dozens of veterans who had unlocked their genetic locks.
"I don't need to remind you how valuable dozens of senior professionals are!"
Faced with this situation, would you choose to safely return to the Main God Space, or would you use resurrection to heal all your injuries and return to the horror movie for a final, desperate fight?
"You will have everything once you return."
"Abundant team battle rewards, countless side quests and reward points—each one is incredibly tempting."
Li Xiao understood what he meant and said, "So, it's actually still a bait plan?"
"Just a more convincing bait?"
Chu Xuan from the Demon Team turned around and nodded:
"Some people will be seriously injured, on the verge of death, or even die outright."
"Only by allowing them to successfully kill him can they be blinded by the impending victory."
"After all, those two newcomers were a very good start."
Chen Zilong then spoke.
"I understand. There's an old saying that goes, 'To destroy a man, first make him mad.' That's what it means, right?"
Seeing the two Chu Xuans nod, Zhu Wen asked from the side:
"Won't hypnosis or hallucinations work?"
This time, without Chu Xuan having to say anything, Li Xiao shook his head and said yes.
"No, I just realized that although their genetic lock is not high, their mental resistance is not strong."
However, the variety and quantity of items they possess are equivalent to the total of both our teams combined.
"There must be some kind of mental or consciousness-based defensive items."
Or perhaps it's an item that grants immunity to damage.
I can think of several possibilities right now.
"Although Brother Jie's Eye of Suggestion is powerful, it is helpless against this kind of defensive item."
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Zha asked, "What's the second option?"
Zhongzhou Chuxuan was extremely decisive: "Subdue them, or retrieve those resurrection items before they die, and then kill them."
"Without a doubt, the second method is less likely at present."
Li Xiao, who had entered the third stage of the gene lock, was thinking very fast. He looked at the two Chu Xuans and said, "They say there are two methods, but they are actually the same, right?"
"Or perhaps, the second method is a prerequisite for the first method; if the second method succeeds, there will naturally be no follow-up."
Li Xiao's words made everyone outside the venue fall into deep thought.
At this point, Zhan Lan changed the subject.
"By the way, Li Xiao, who was that behind you just now...?"
Li Xiao sighed and looked at Zhan Lan as he replied:
"Let's change the subject..."
My enhanced Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was originally just an external martial art related to physical strength.
Even if you cultivate to the highest level, it's just the continuous compression and condensation of internal energy; it doesn't actually lead to the formation of a core.
"I guess that phantom was some kind of phenomenon after I formed my core. At that time, I could easily control the other self behind me. That's right, it felt just like piloting a mecha."
As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, he saw Chen Zilong nod to himself, but Chen Zilong didn't say anything.
Chen Zilong is indeed a bit slower than Chu Xuan and the others, but he's not stupid.
It's best to avoid discussing your own strength in front of the Demon Team.
It's as if the Demons didn't say that the shields they wield are the legendary Shield of Athena.
It's already incredible that the two teams could come together to fight side by side and then sit down peacefully to discuss things.
"Getting back to the main topic, the two Chu Xuans."
"If we follow your plan, regardless of the method, what about the timeframe?"
"At the last moment? Or when?"
Zheng Zha's expression was not optimistic when he spoke, after all, it was only the second day.
Beyond the metal barrier, the swarm of insects stretched as far as the eye could see, and in just a short time, the severed limbs and broken legs on the ground had become countless, scattered everywhere like dust.
The difference between war and battle is so great that it terrifies everyone at this moment.
Having finally gotten some rest, they were unwilling to think about themselves from the previous day.
No, not the day before.
To be precise, it was those difficult days of less than two hundred days…
After the quiet.
The demon Chu Xuan spoke first: "It's not the last moment of time, it's us!"
"Our last moment!"
Amy from the Demon Team was taken aback: "What does this mean?"
"Isn't there the Alien Queen and the All-Powerful Factory?"
"Even so, they still can't face the Zerg army?"
Both Chu Xuans nodded simultaneously.
"What we are showing now is all for the Morizu team to see."
"The fact that they chose to ambush Li Xiao suggests that they must have some method, unknown to us, to observe everything within Raccoon City."
"Including the strength you demonstrated during the battle and the various tools you used."
Chu Xuan from the Zhongzhou team continued, "I only have these ten Alien Queens. Although they can accelerate their reproduction rate and frequency in a short period of time after being catalyzed, their numbers will gradually decrease after the peak."
The demon Chu Xuan continued, "As for this rudimentary all-purpose factory, it's even simpler. The Philosopher's Stone is no longer enough. Without the supply of raw materials, even if there is recycling to make up for it, the shortfall will continue to grow, eventually leading to production stoppage."
"The fully automated defense line will be unusable in less than ten hours..."
Finally, Chu Xuan of the Zhongzhou team pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said calmly:
"Of course, even if the worst-case scenario happens, it doesn't necessarily mean it will lead to a bad outcome."
"It's as if we've prepared for all possibilities and eliminated any potential problems before they arise, but that doesn't mean the final result will necessarily be what we want."
With his mind racing, Li Xiao was now really eager to ask what Chu Xuan was planning!
How much of what you just said was true, and how much was false?
Especially the last sentence, which is quite meaningful.
However, it doesn't matter anymore.
Because regardless of whether it's true or false, and regardless of whether they can withstand the Zerg attack or drag things out until the very end.
They're all the same, actually.
If they can hold out until the end, the two breeders of the Senzhou team will not sit idly by and wait for the main mission to fail. With several chances to revive, they will definitely go all out.
If it cannot be done.
The moment the Zerg breaches the defenses, the Senzhou team will inevitably seize the opportunity to strike.
Regardless of the outcome.
At some point in the future, they will all be plunged into a dead end.
Only in this way can those two from the Senzhou team be made to step forward.
Li Xiao wasn't the only one who understood this; Zhao Yingkong and Lingdian behind him also did.
Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan from the Demon Team.
They all know Chu Xuan.
Since this is the only chance, it will definitely happen.
However, what price they will pay before the opportunity arises remains to be seen. And while some are clever, others are foolish.
For example, the three idiots from the Middle Continent team, and those guys from the Demon team who haven't said a word yet.
The strengths and weaknesses of having an absolute strategist in the team were on full display at this moment.
This "good habit" of being unwilling to use one's brain is not limited by skin color or nationality.
However, for these people, ignorance is true "happiness".
After understanding, Zhan Lan interrupted the two Chu Xuans from continuing to spread the so-called bad news:
"Okay, I think I understand what you mean."
"So let's discuss the two breeders from the Morizu team next!"
"How strong are they? Or rather, what tools and abilities do they possess?"
"Shouldn't you two have an answer by now?"
Upon hearing this, most of the people, each with their own thoughts, focused their attention on the two objects in front of them.
A black leather jacket and a strangely shaped gun.
These two items were gifts left behind by Rost, who was killed not long ago.
Changing the subject, Zhan Lan continued, "According to the information from your Central Continent team, the bronze bell on the outermost layer should be the defensive magic item worth a double B-level side quest..."
"Hmm, it should be some kind of cultivation-related item."
"But this leather jacket..."
Amy and François, who were next to Zhan Lan, picked up the leather jacket and touched it.
Zheng Zha's gaze also fell on the clothes. Because of the close combat, he knew exactly how much a piece of clothing could play a role.
It's not that they're not strong, but rather the opposite.
The effect of this garment can be described as incredibly powerful.
When he launched a full-force attack and ambushed Rost, Rost was clearly caught off guard at first.
However, upon realizing the danger, the clothing unexpectedly increased the wearer's three basic attributes: strength, speed, and reaction ability.
This allowed Rost to use that transparent weapon to block his black flames.
Otherwise, none of what followed would have happened.
"Chu Xuan, do you know what this is?"
Zheng Zha asked directly.
Although the black leather jacket was stained quite a bit by the dark blue liquid.
However, it is clear that it contains some kind of advanced biotechnology.
Chu Xuan started to explore and experiment.
Then, amidst everyone's horrified expressions, he dipped the liquid in the liquid and put it in his mouth.
Li Xiao really wanted to say, "Why don't you use all that technology behind you? You're just using your mouth?"
Is this person really sick?!
But considering this person's identity, I feel it's alright.
Perhaps this person's body has been modified into some kind of sophisticated machine.
The demon Chu Xuan spoke calmly.
"This dark blue, gel-like liquid is a nutrient material that can rapidly synthesize artificial muscle fibers."
"And I can sense that there is something similar to nanobots here, but also different."
He then looked at Zheng Zha.
"You just said that he reacted in less than a second, and the muscles on the clothes began to bulge rapidly."
If that's the case, this leather suit should be a type of bio-armor.
“Those bulging muscles are not his own, but were generated instantly by this bio-armor. Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, this should be the GANTZ enhanced suit from the Main God Space.”
"Similar in value to the second-generation Green Goblin skateboard, it's a B-level side quest with 4500 reward points."
Zhan Lan, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "This is the GANTZ enhanced suit?"
"I almost redeemed it back then."
Zheng Zha was also taken aback when he heard this, because he knew about this prop.
Just as Zhan Lan said, this person, who was a mental power user with low physical strength, almost exchanged for this leather suit that resembled bio-armor.
After thinking for a moment, Zhan Lan spoke up and said what she knew: "The GANTZ Enhancement Suit increases strength and speed by ten times."
Of course, there's a limit to this increase; I remember the former was ten tons, and the latter was three seconds for 100 meters.
"The GANTZ enhanced suit also has life support capabilities, which is equivalent to a spacesuit, and it also has an energy shield on the head."
"So the exposed neck and face are not actually weak points."
"At the same time, it also has the ability to jump and cushion, and can defend against most attacks in all aspects."
"This includes both shockwave and blast wave abilities. It seems that they both know that even if they have defensive items that prevent them from being blasted through, they can still be killed by external shockwaves."
"But unfortunately, this one ran into Zheng Zha."
Zhan Lan didn't say anything more.
Li Xiao looked at the two of them with a meaningful gaze.
After all, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan completed the decapitation mission under the full protection of the enhanced suit and the bronze bell.
However, neither of them explained why Zheng Zha was able to break through the bronze bell's defenses in an instant.
Why was Zhan Lan able to wield the black flame heavy sword that Zheng Zha had previously possessed?
However, Li Xiao could understand.
Everyone has their own secrets, and these secrets may not even be known to enemies, let alone allies.
"As for this gun, it should be a weapon of futuristic technology, but I don't recall it. After all, there are just too many things like this in the Main God Space."
Zhan Lan shook her head as she spoke.
The gun was then passed on to Chen Zilong.
There are two vertically arranged triggers on the gun handle, and above the triggers is a square display screen about half the size of a palm.
The rear half of the gun resembles a revolver split into four pieces.
This thing doesn't even have anything that can be called a gun muzzle.
Chen Zilong was decisive; he directly aimed at the waiting parasites on the side and pulled the two triggers.
However, there was no response after pulling the trigger. Chen Zilong pulled the trigger again, but there was still no response after several attempts.
"What's going on? Is it broken?"
As he spoke, he pointed the gun at himself and touched it.
Upon seeing this, Zhan Lan quickly said, "Be careful, this should be a delayed-effect weapon, it may take a few more seconds."
No sooner had they finished speaking than Chen Zilong, before he could even understand what they meant, exploded on one side of the tank bug's body without any warning.
However, before things could calm down, the tank bug exploded several times in a row.
Finally, it turned into a mushy, viscous liquid and fell to the ground with a splat.
Saito, who was closest to Chen Zilong, swallowed hard.
"Don't point at me, or you'll pull the trigger if you're wrong."
Seeing this, Amya snapped out of her daze and murmured, "Its power is considerable, but its flaws are also significant." (End of Chapter)
