Chapter 3386 Zhou Rihui's Seventh Sequence
Zhang Xuezhou logged off at Laoshu Hutong.

Temporarily lodging at Zheng Wukong's house, avoiding the potential risks posed by the hiding places of cultivators like Venerable Huangsha, Zhang Xuezhou traveled back to the real world.

"There's a high probability that Zhu Jiuyin will go to Mount Tai. He and Li Tianwang will have some minor conflicts, but Zhu Jiuyin is going there to inquire, not to kill anyone, so my cousin should be in no danger."

After rolling to his feet at the altar of the No. 2 sinkhole, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but check the places where he might have overlooked something.

"You stood up with a tense air about you, were you in another magical duel?"

When Ren Anran's question came, Zhang Xuezhou quickly turned his attention back to the various things in the real world.

"One troublesome matter has been resolved," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "This opponent's magic is quite interesting. I'll organize it and show it to you later!"

"This technique seems quite impressive!"

Ren Anran nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou hasn't translated any spells from another world for a long time.

For those who have set their cultivation direction, it is difficult to freely insert magical techniques into the higher realm stages.

The technique that Zhang Xuezhou could translate must be extremely remarkable, and there is even a high probability that it is compatible with cultivation. Ren Anran was quite looking forward to this untranslated technique.

Now is clearly not the time to be busy translating spells.

In the distance of the No. 2 sinkhole, Zhou Rihui had successfully reassembled the disassembled instruments, waiting only for Zhang Xuezhou to push the seventh sequence.

Meanwhile, Li Yingbo and his colleagues at the North Rehe Laboratory were also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new facility.

Even more urgent is the spider infestation disaster involving the Omega Alliance countries.

Compared to the first year's spider swarm, this year's spider swarm disaster is larger in scale. While destroying the original ecology of the northern land of the Omega Alliance, the spider swarm disaster is also constantly encroaching on the land inhabited by humans. No living things can survive in the places it passes through, which is both the opposite and similar to the vegetation disaster caused by the locust plague.

These terrifyingly numerous spiders awaken after a long winter hibernation, and their hunting behavior becomes even more frenzied when they are hungry, falling into a rapid cycle of hunting, eating, and reproduction.

The Spider Swarm Disaster is still far from the Red Alliance, but the mutual assistance urged by Montesbarton is very close.

Having just joined forces with Montes Barton to eliminate Tung Wah, it's not like everyone would immediately renege on their promises.

Moreover, the fire meteor creatures fall under the research and crackdown scope of various countries. Even if these ferocious spiders cannot be repeatedly extracted, many people still need to eliminate these alien life forms as much as possible to prevent them from developing and causing uncontrollable disasters.

"Barton is at higher risk. It seems he's been locked onto by the ferocious beasts. No matter how he tries to shake them off, those spider-like beasts will always find him!"

"It would be best if we could keep an eye on him!"

"makes sense!"

Ren Anran recounted the relevant situation. When she mentioned the various difficulties Montesbatton faced, Zhang Xuezhou jokingly complained, and Ren Anran quickly agreed.

The ferocious spider that followed Zodiac was captured. If any other ferocious spider continues to relentlessly pursue Montesbatton, they can replicate the same feat, which is far less risky than a chaotic free-for-all.

"Brother Rihui, get ready, we'll be moving forward with the experiment soon!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted at Zhou Rihui, who was upside down on the ground. Zhou Rihui, who was practicing the Xuanjia Fighting Technique, flipped over and stood up, letting out a laugh that was a mix of excitement and madness.

Zhang Xuezhou woke up in the real world about an hour late, but all the arrangements did not stop because of his lateness.

Once Zhang Xuezhou walked through the twists and turns and stepped onto the elevated platform, he could see the prepared supplies, including the food and water he needed.

On the high platform, Ren Anran's true form was still rushing over, and in the distance, Luo Burang's hurried figure could be seen. The last items transported were gene fluid and battery packs. One was the gene resource needed for Zhou Rihui's body evolution, and the other was the energy needed to operate the machine, which also involved the release of strong electrical stimulation energy in case of an accident.

Even if Zhou Rihui did not undergo a genetic mutation, this is still a precaution that needs to be taken in advance.

At present, the No. 2 sinkhole can only rely on Zhang Xuezhou to transport supplies. Zhou Rihui's error tolerance is too low, and the data of the gene fluid will be delayed when it is handed over to Luo Burang, making it difficult to achieve real-time verification and adjustment. All kinds of risks must be guarded against.

“It’s lucky that An Ran was able to report the data. When you push it, be aware that An Ran will receive the information about 20 to 25 seconds late. In addition, there’s the time she needs to verbally describe the data, and I need to find a solution before An Ran sends it back to you. The time difference is at least one and a half minutes!”

Zhang Xuezhou drank a bottle of nutrient solution and then shuttled back and forth four times before Luo Burang hurriedly stepped onto the high platform to communicate.

“His physical condition was originally two to three times stronger than Zhou Yueyan’s. With the long-term conditioning and tempering in the sinkhole, his physical condition should be able to hold up without any problems. After comparing Zhou Yueyan’s and my own situation, I think he should be fine,” Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"So it's not a big problem!"

In Luo Burang's calculations, without his real-time adjustment, Zhou Rihui's probability of success would be at least 20 percentage points lower, not the high probability they had previously achieved with their A6 lab setup.

Zhang Xuezhou made his judgment, and Luo Burang was no longer worried, since Zhang Xuezhou knew Zhou Rihui's actual situation better than Luo Burang.

“Zhou Rihui has some rather unique experiences. If he is successfully guided, he should be able to surpass his father’s strength in the seventh sequence,” Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"Oh," Luo Burang said with surprise, "Now that you say that, I'm really looking forward to Zhou Rihui entering the seventh sequence!"

Having witnessed Zhang Xuezhou's superhuman resistance and having access to a great deal of information about Zhou Xin, Luo Burang had no particular expectations for those who cultivated their bodies through gene sequences. However, he was interested in those who could surpass Zhou Xin's strength.

In the Red Alliance, very few second- and third-generation individuals surpass their fathers and grandfathers in the sequence. Most people simply follow a predetermined path, and even those who reach the seventh sequence often have elders with superior strength.

Normally, Zhou Rihui should also be in this group. After all, Zhou Rihui's qualifications and innovation capabilities are far inferior to Zhou Xin's. He has not yet truly taken up the mantle of the Zhou family's gene sequence and moved it forward. His data after becoming the seventh sequence would likely be inferior to Zhou Xin's.

Luo Burang did not expect that Zhou Rihui would surpass Zhou Xin in the seventh sequence, and that he might even win as soon as he stepped into the seventh sequence.

"This sword-drawing technique is quite difficult!"

Zhang Xuezhou moved the object several times in succession. Looking at the empty platform, Luo Burang looked enviously at the twisted area.

Although Luo Burang has high mental strength and excels in gene sequencing, sequence locking, realm techniques, and spear techniques, he is severely lacking when it comes to close combat such as swords.

Either, like Zhang Xuezhou, he must cultivate the ability to control 'fast and slow', or he must undergo long-term training and honing of his swordsmanship before seeking success in guiding the sword technique. Only then will Luo Burang be able to transcend the distortion.

Achieving the former involves a bit of luck, while the latter requires years of dedicated sword practice.

After making his choice, Luo couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the precious land before him was too difficult to see.

“The vegetation inside is withered, leaving only the Qin Meng Secret Stone and some insects. The disappointment after entering and leaving will outweigh the expectations,” Ren Anran replied with a smile. “It’s a good thing that you’re practicing your sword, but it’s not a good thing if you’re practicing your sword in order to enter the Second Heavenly Sinkhole!”

"Looks like I can only use this as a way to exercise my hands and feet in my spare time!"

After being persuaded by Ren Anran, Luo Burang finally let go of his expectations and stopped rushing to practice swordsmanship.

"If you are interested in sinkholes, after Qin Meng assists Barton, you can go to the British Commonwealth to see the situation of Sinkhole No. 1!"

“In the past, I was old and weak, and my mind was also dull. Now, thanks to the resistance layer, my body and spirit have been revitalized. I am very interested in the unknown and hope to explore these unknown civilizations,” Luo Burang said solemnly. “If we can learn from the strengths of foreign countries to make up for our shortcomings, perhaps we will not have to be so passive in the future!”

The fact that a single offspring derived from a fire meteor creature could chase Montesbatton, a member of the Ninth Sequence, into a chaotic retreat, and causing profound damage to the Omega Alliance, requiring the collective intervention of the top leadership of the Red Alliance, indicates a significant and long-standing gap between them.

Even if someone steps into the ninth or even tenth sequence, Luo Burang believes that exploration and learning cannot stop, otherwise humanity may very well face the end of the world.
