Chapter 1092
The Zerg with 1000 Billion
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap..."
Have the Demons left?
Did they return to the Main God Space?
What's going on...?
Saito, riding a broomstick, frowned deeply and said:
"So this android from the Demon Team is Carlos?"
Was the person just arrested an android disguised as Carlos?
"Plastic surgery or something else?"
"No, no, so the demon Chu Xuan had already anticipated that Xia Yan, the guide, would do something like this?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zilong slapped his forehead.
"Wait, if Chu Xuan can think of this, you can definitely think of it too, so..."
Although this seemingly clever man was slow-witted, he was quick-thinking. Before he could finish speaking, he looked at the person in his own team.
Then his gaze fell on Yue'er, who was wearing a white nun's habit and was holding Cheng Xiao.
It's obvious that they also hope to create a "real" Sulli and then directly complete the game and return.
But unfortunately.
Cheng Xiao jumped out from between the two mountain peaks and shouted, "What are you looking at? This is real, it's mine!"
Yue'er blushed and covered the baby Cheng Xiao's mouth, revealing an embarrassed smile.
Seeing this, Li Xiao spoke up, shattering some people's illusions.
"Don't think about it."
"Even if you manage to create a Sherry, do you believe the Supreme God will pretend to be stupid?"
"Don't forget, in The Matrix, Jay could directly change the main storyline."
"As a fellow guide, this one is naturally eligible as well."
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Noticing that most eyes were on him, Zhang Jie, the former guide, looked up at the sky with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Fortunately, Zhu Wen spoke up at this moment and asked, "So now we're the only ones left in this world after Resident Evil?"
"Speaking of which, is it really possible for us to complete this task on our own?"
"Perhaps."
Li Xiao shrugged and replied.
"The last time Zheng Zha and I entered the Resident Evil area, it took us three days to hide more than 300 nuclear bombs in this world using terrain-altering magic, and we had Moss set up three trigger conditions at that time."
Li Xiao gave a wry smile as he spoke.
"I originally thought we would experience the storyline after Resident Evil 4, and that we could use these pre-planted nuclear bombs to deal with the lost Earth."
"While eliminating all the zombies is out of the question, clearing out a piece of land is no problem."
"Although it's only Resident Evil 2, the situation is already almost there."
"However, the problem is that even if we use nuclear bombs to wipe out the entire Zerg population, we cannot guarantee that all Zerg will be killed."
"There will always be some who slip through the net. Just like now, although the Zerg have wiped out most of humanity, I think there are definitely still a few scattered ones living somewhere."
"Of course, such a quantity may be very small."
Li Xiao brushed the hair from her forehead and looked at the others.
What are your thoughts, everyone?
"I remember that nuclear bombs could be used to artificially create a nuclear winter by detonating them at different locations, or to unilaterally destroy the Earth's ecological environment."
"What about the cerebrates? Aren't cerebrates able to command the Zerg? Chu Xuan, can you control the cerebrates and make them kill each other or commit suicide?"
"Don't we still have the Xenomorphs? Can we rely on the Xenomorph Queen? We can use war to sustain war... Hmm, wouldn't that take a little too long?"
Chen Zilong, Zhu Wen, Saito Hajime, Cheng Xiao, Zhang Jie, and even Lingdian all began to unleash their imaginations.
Everyone offered a solution and then the discussion began.
But as the discussion went on, it became clear that it was somewhat unrealistic.
Finally, everyone turned their attention to Chu Xuan, who had remained silent all along, including Li Xiao.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Central Continent Team, Chu Xuan finally spoke.
But this person's first words immediately caught their eye.
"Actually, completing this task is very simple. Once the front-end setup is complete, the entire process can take less than ten minutes."
"I was just thinking about whether to stay in this world a little longer."
"At this stage, whether it's Li Xiao and Chen Zilong, or Xiao Honglu and Zheng Zha, they all need time."
“You two have just advanced to the Golden Core stage and haven’t had a chance to consolidate your cultivation yet. Xiao Honglu’s Nascent Soul also needs a long time to recover.”
"And this is especially true for Zheng Zha!"
"Although the situation is somewhat complicated, it is undeniable that the return mission no longer has a time requirement."
"That way, we can easily spend some time watching this horror movie."
The group, who were originally thinking about how to kill the Zerg, complete the mission, and then return to the God Space, seemed to have opened up a whole new world upon hearing these words.
Zhu Wen's eyes lit up and she added:
"I understand. As long as we don't complete this mission, we can stay in this world for a year, or even longer, if possible, right?"
Li Xiao nodded and followed suit:
"Actually, it's not just that. If we extend the timeframe for the density of insectoids on Earth, even if we don't intervene, their numbers will decrease dramatically due to food scarcity."
"After all, there is no Queen to mass produce troops now, and no ability to reproduce. Every one that dies is one less. If this continues, the Zerg in this world will eventually disappear."
As Chen Zilong and the others listened, they could already picture the scene in their minds.
However, this scene is not of them training and cultivating in this world, but of them being submerged in a sea of insects.
"Hehe, you must be joking. I don't think these insects will let us cultivate so peacefully. They can't just keep flying around, can they?"
"And we really need to rest right now."
Zhao Yingkong said, "With Chu Xuan's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to create something that can float in the air indefinitely."
"In this way, neither resting nor cultivating will be a problem."
"Moreover, there are so many ready-made enemies to be opponents in addition to training."
Upon hearing this, most of the members of the Zhongzhou team were tempted.
Because it seems that's really the case.
Only Li Xiao, after a brief moment of excitement, quickly calmed down.
"No, if that were the case, the Demon Team wouldn't have left so easily."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Zhongzhou team, who had just been envisioning the future, were all taken aback.
Cheng Xiao rubbed his chin: "Yeah, the cheapest way to exchange for a day's time is 10 reward points. If that's really the case, why would they leave?"
Saito and Chen Zilong, who were standing nearby, also began to think.
But as the saying goes, "When man thinks, God laughs."
After realizing that he couldn't figure it out in a short time, Li Xiao, who was simulating Xiao Honglu, wisely stopped thinking.
He looked directly at Chu Xuan.
"Let's end this!"
"Although I don't know how you're going to do it, you should already have a way to complete this task."
Chu Xuan looked down at himself and nodded.
"If that's the case, then I understand."
After he finished speaking, a large number of nanobots emerged from beneath Chu Xuan's feet and began to rapidly expand outwards along the edge of the Green Goblin skateboard.
It even connected to Zero Point, the Green Devil skateboard under Zhu Wen and the others' feet.
It soon became a stable metal platform.
As the foundation took shape, Chu Xuan then took out one incomprehensible high-tech device after another and fixed it onto the pre-reserved sockets, and then began debugging and assembly.
Chen Zilong, controlling the white clouds beneath his feet, couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Colonel Chu, you hesitated for a moment before starting to assign these tasks."
Does this mean we might have a chance?
Chu Xuan, operating the device in his hand, answered without looking up, "There is a chance, but it's too small."
"Do you know how many Zerg are on Earth right now, even if the portal were closed?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone, including Li Xiao, shook their heads.
Looking down, they didn't even have the desire to calculate.
Because there are just too many.
"100 billion, and at least 100 billion."
If we consider the Warrior Bug as an individual unit, tens of millions of Warrior Bugs could be crammed into an area of one thousand square kilometers.
"This doesn't even include the depth between the sea and mountains, or what lies beneath the ground."
"The Senzhou team is right about one thing: sometimes quantity itself is a kind of quality."
"These insectoids will rapidly adapt to Earth's environment over time, which is what you understand as evolution."
There is a 97% probability that they will evolve organs or abilities, including individual mating and hermaphroditism, when the mortality rate exceeds 10%.
"Thus regaining the ability to reproduce to ensure survival."
"Without the restrictions of the cerebrates and the suppression of the queen, there is an 80% chance that individual racial intelligence or regional command systems, namely hive consciousness, will evolve."
"There is a 16 percent chance that a deformed mutant like the previous flying chimera will appear."
"Finally, there is a 1.3 percent chance that a new evolved queen will be born, which will then reopen the Zerg channel."
Chu Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, it's also possible that we'll always be very lucky and none of the above situations will happen."
Or perhaps, before some situation arises, Xiao Honglu and Zheng Zha successfully recover and reach their peak.
Then we can use our current space technology to forcibly shut down or seal off this world to complete the mission.
"But the chances seem too small to me, which is also the main reason why the Demon Team returned directly to the Main God Space."
After Chu Xuan finished speaking, he fell silent. In fact, there were other reasons, even more important ones, but there was no need to waste time talking about them now.
Isn't that enough?
Meanwhile, Li Xiao and the others were processing the information they had just received.
After some time had passed, seeing Chu Xuan still busy, Saito asked Li Xiao in a low voice.
"So, do we have any tools or skills that can wipe out life on a planet in a short time?"
Zhu Wen speculated: "Could it also be a virus?"
Chen Zilong asked curiously, "Something similar to the T-virus?"
As a doctor with common sense, Cheng Xiao shook his head firmly: "Impossible. Even if there really is some kind of genetic virus targeting the Zerg, it's impossible for it to spread to the entire planet in just ten minutes."
Li Xiao shrugged: "Don't look at me, I don't know either."
"But I think it must be something with a high degree of infectivity, and numbers are not a factor in the face of such power."
"Well, that's all I can think of."
Hearing Li Xiao's speculation, everyone's imaginations ran wild.
Before they could guess the correct answer, the futuristic device in front of Chu Xuan had already taken shape.
As the current rotates, an energetic humming sound is also produced.
Clusters of diffuse white light were emitted.
This ball of light was no bigger than an average person's fist, and this thing that looked like a cannon didn't have a long range.
Before it could leave the crowd's sight, the ball of light disintegrated into smaller, finer points of light and finally disappeared into the sky.
And so, one after another, clusters of light were emitted and then disappeared.
This scene left everyone completely bewildered, but no one disturbed Chu Xuan.
It wasn't until a black and white sky suddenly appeared overhead that this continued.
Li Xiaocai retrieved a term from his distant memories.
"This is... photoelectric particle detection imaging technology?"
As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, the image on the black and white sky above gradually became clear.
Then, a series of screens, pieced together, appeared at a fixed height in the sky.
Moreover, it's as if this thing appeared in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire sky they could see.
Saito felt that Li Xiao's words sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember them for a moment.
"What? What kind of particle imaging?"
Li Xiao said with a surprised expression:
"Ruins, do you remember when we saw the Yellow Turban Warrior, the Dragon Emperor, and Guo Lin in the ruins of the Golden Mask?"
Saito Hajime suddenly remembered: "Is it the one that's translated as 'Stargazing Room'?"
Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, the light screen we saw in this room back then, Chu Xuan said, was one of the applications of optical particle detection imaging technology."
"I think this should be a communication or detection method used in future interstellar spaceships,"
"So after I returned to the Main God Space, I did a quick look into this future technology."
Simply put, this is an application of single-spot imaging, which involves technical challenges such as quantum communication, quantum imaging, and single-light separation.
Unbeknownst to Li Xiao, he re-entered the third stage of gene lock mode and uttered the words above.
Zhu Wen asked curiously, "So, each photon in those clusters of light was a part of the screen right now?"
"Does this screen now cover the entire globe?"
Hearing this, Chen Zilong asked with a strange expression, "Even if that's true, then what?"
"Is this a plan to invite the Zerg to a movie?"
Just as Chen Zilong finished complaining, he saw Li Xiao rubbing his head and nodding.
He said meaningfully:
"The Zerg's vision is similar to that of humans in some ways."
In other words, they can see what we can see.
"I already guessed what Chu Xuan was going to do."
Li Xiao's words made everyone in the Zhongzhou team subconsciously look up at the sky.
The once broken and gloomy sky is now completely covered by countless neatly arranged gray and white screens.
Li Xiao lowered his head, rubbed his forehead, and said with a wry smile:
"We're very likely going to meet an old friend."
Zhang Jie, craning his neck, said with the same emotional expression, "I think I know what Chu Xuan is planning to do too."
Chen Zilong and Cheng Xiao looked at each other in bewilderment, while Zhu Wen and Lingdian also stared at them with confusion.
Li Xiao didn't say much to Saito Hajime and the others' confusion, because explaining it would make things very complicated.
But if they just saw it, they would immediately understand what this madman Chu Xuan was up to.
Li Xiao thought to himself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, because this was a method he absolutely could not have imagined.
Fighting poison with poison? Or is it a treatment specifically for difficult and complicated diseases?
Chu Xuan acted quickly.
After all the settings were complete, he inserted a slightly worn videotape into the incompatible machine in front of him.
At the same time, the sky above also lit up.
Just as everyone was watching, he was suddenly startled.
The sky had just begun to brighten when it turned into a white, snowy screen.
It's the kind of situation that only occurred in the 1970s and 80s when the signal was bad.
And it was at this moment that something miraculous happened.
"How come I remember there was no sound from the sky when I was in the ruins?"
Li Xiao nodded at Saito:
"There is indeed no sound. After all, this technology only projects images; it's impossible to make sound synchronize with the image and transmit it throughout the entire Earth."
Saito turned his head and stared with wide eyes: "Can't do it?"
"So what's going on now?" (End of Chapter)
