Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Chu Xuan looked at the surprised crowd and calmly said quickly:
"A 200-fold increase in neural reaction speed is enough for you to observe the number and attack patterns of the surrounding enemies the instant you make a move, as well as whether there are teammates, whether you can make use of the current weapons, and how to maximize the attack or even set up an escape route."

"But remember, the overclocking world only enhances your neural responses and thought speed; it does not mean you gain the ability to act in the overclocking world."

"Unless you have a way to simultaneously increase the strength of your physical body by two hundred times."

"No, actually it doesn't need to be two hundred times. Physical strength doesn't need to be synchronized with nerve reflexes; it only needs to be increased..."

Li Xiao, standing nearby, said with a wry smile, "Stop, Chu Xuan. Although I'd love to hear it, these insect swarms won't allow it."

Saito glanced at the high-tech collar in his hand and continued, "..."
"Although the body can't react in time, even this effect is already quite powerful. Turning one second into two hundred seconds, which is more than three minutes, is indeed enough time to think about these things..."

"And even if the body can't keep up, it's not too bad as long as you have time to prepare."

As they were talking, Chen Zilong on the other side also realized what was happening.

Perhaps it was a renewed awakening of extraordinary wisdom, but this person actually noticed the problem.

"Wait, wait, wait, Chu Xuan, this thing is so incredibly effective, don't tell me it has no side effects? I don't believe it."

"I'm afraid I'll become an idiot before the Zerg even eat me."

In fact, it wasn't just Chen Zilong; after Chu Xuan revealed the effect and this person questioned it, everyone in both teams moved away from this inconspicuous prop.

After all, they all know this person too well. Some of the props are indeed powerful, but their flaws and side effects are something that ordinary people cannot withstand.

Without prior arrangement, everyone's gaze turned to Chu Xuan of the Zhongzhou Team once again.

As a result, this person nodded in agreement:

"Of course there are side effects, but not for you. Your spiritual bodies are all..."

"Okay, you can think of it this way: these overclocking devices need a central server, and this central server can only be managed by Zhang Jie, who has the strongest mental strength."

"In other words, once the decision is made to use it, whether it is used by one person or by everyone present, Zhang Jie loses his ability to act and becomes a human host."

What Chu Xuan didn't say was that this was actually just a cultivation tool disguised as high technology.

The essence of overclocking is mental energy, but it doesn't belong to them; it belongs to Zhang Jie.

Only Zhang Jie, who possesses near-limitless spiritual power and holds the Lotus Lantern, could serve as such a human server.

Or perhaps only then can they keep up with such consumption.

In essence, the slowed-down overclocked world was not the world as they perceived it, but rather the world that Zhang Jie slowed down using his mental power.

As for whether it's worth exchanging a peak-level mental power user for an item that allows most people to enter the overclocking world.

No one asked this somewhat brainless question, since it had already been said that when facing creatures like the Zerg.

Individual ability is not important.

After listening to Chu Xuan's explanation, Li Xiao and the others looked at Zhang Jie in surprise.

This person simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

Demon Chu Xuan looked at his teammates, including Zhan Lan, and they all put on the equipment without hesitation.

As the neurons connected, a bright white light appeared in their eyes.

Chu Xuan then didn't delay.

Several evenly divided red rhomboid gemstones were directly extracted.

Li Xiao and the others reached out and took it.

As soon as I grasped it, I felt the stone, which was originally an inanimate object, trying to burrow into my palm and flesh.

Fortunately, everyone was extraordinary and was not fooled by the so-called Philosopher's Stone.

But that didn't stop everyone from swallowing.

Because the moment they grasped it, a thought formed in each of their minds.

That means eating it, swallowing it.

Once consumed and integrated, one gains extremely powerful abilities.

Of course, some people didn't react, such as Zhang Jie.

The red Philosopher's Stone lay quietly in his hand, just like an ordinary stone.

Not only was it unappealing, it even failed to elicit any reaction.

Of course, it might not just be because of Zhang Jie himself, but also because of the Lotus Lantern next to him.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the demon Chu Xuan after witnessing this scene.

After seeing that everyone had received a piece, the blonde girl Amy from the Demon Team finally spoke:
"The method of use is very simple: place the Philosopher's Stone on your heart, then make a cut and let the two fuse together."

"Remember, do not use your own internal energy to touch it during this time. Only in this way can the body achieve solidification, that is, solidify the current state of the body."

"Although you gained the ability to be immortal during this period, you must try to avoid physical injury, because each time you recover from an injury, you will consume the volume of the Philosopher's Stone."

"Therefore, you can absolutely use the Philosopher's Stone as a powerful restorative item."

"Once it's fused into the body, as long as the Philosopher's Stone hasn't been completely consumed, even if your head explodes or you're cut in half, you can quickly recover."

As Amya spoke, everyone began to do as she was told.

In that short time, some insectoid creatures from afar had broken through the border of darkness and entered everyone's sight.

These reappeared were no longer just a few dozen or a hundred scattered individuals, but countless entities.

Saito Hajime watched as the red crystal fused with the muscle in front of his heart, then cautiously looked at the two Chu Xuans and asked:
"So, you two, I'd like to know what our chances of survival are after this?"

Li Xiao, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan all looked over curiously.

Both Chu Xuans simultaneously pushed up their glasses frames.

But before they could speak, Zero, standing behind them, suddenly looked due east and whispered:

"coming!"

Everyone instinctively looked over.

All that could be seen were the dilapidated streets of Raccoon City, the gaps between collapsed buildings, and even from beneath the ground.

Countless dark brown figures surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.

Leading the charge were countless warrior insects, their six long legs moving at high speed, their huge pincers opening and closing constantly, making a chilling "click-click" sound.

In the blink of an eye, they coalesced into a death wave, rushing towards the small area trapped by the wormhole.

Following closely behind were the even larger, thicker-shelled tank bugs. Their five-meter-long and wide bodies made them resemble mobile fortresses, and their mouthparts were filled with scorching liquid.

They could easily wipe out the scattered Zerg.

But now, there are countless of them in sight.

Moreover, based on Chu Xuan's description, they knew that the number of Zerg would only increase, not decrease.

"We cannot fight here!"

The two Chu Xuans spoke these words almost simultaneously.

Zheng Zha from the Demon Team and Li Xiao from the Central Continent Team exchanged glances.

"Where to? Just tell me the destination!"

Demon Chu Xuan: "To downtown Raccoon City! The church!"

Li Xiao nodded, grabbed Zhang Jie who had already closed his eyes, and leaped up, a flying sword instantly appearing beneath his feet.

Zheng Zha also stretched out his fleshy wings, grabbed Zhan Lan, and flew away.

As for Carlos and Alice from the Demons team, they were taken along by Amy and François.

Ossa leaped into the air and transformed into a Black Hawk helicopter, placing Shirley and the children in the cockpit.

The others also used their own unique skills.

The distance of more than ten kilometers was covered in just a few minutes, and we arrived at our destination.

That is, the church they left not long ago.

Before he even landed, the demon Chu Xuan shouted again:
"Destroy all the high-rise buildings in the city center. Destroy as many as you can before they arrive!"

Many people were taken aback upon hearing this.

Because they knew without even looking that while there were many zombies in these buildings, there would definitely be survivors as well. However, while they were still pondering this question...

Zheng Zha from the Demon Team has already made his move.

A massive black sword formed from black flames flew out.

It hit the tallest building right below.

The black flames were like a passageway leading to hell.

The building was neither exploded nor destroyed.

The black giant sword pierced through the building and into the ground, then began to spread.

After it became a black, round hole, the building began to sink rapidly and then simply disappeared.

This black area is even expanding, plunging each building into darkness as it envelops it.

Seeing this scene, I don't know why they did it, but it doesn't affect me.

"Big, give me a big one!"

The golden hoop in Chen Zilong's hand grew longer and thicker as he swung it.

When it arrived in front of a skyscraper, it had turned into a colossal pillar reaching for the sky.

His attacks were not as silent as Zheng Zha's.

With a loud crash, a building was smashed to the ground by Chen Zilong.

Moreover, when this stick is swept across, it doesn't just cause one building to collapse, but a whole area of ​​them!
After delivering the first blow, Chen Zilong shouted, "What are you standing there for? If we die, everyone on Earth will either end up inside a bug's belly or become a zombie."

"What's there to hesitate about!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan shook her head and chuckled softly, as if laughing at her own naiveté.

"Amya, can you help me?"

After saying that, a beam of light entered Zhan Lan's body.

After receiving the boost, this person landed and crouched down, touching the ground with their palms.

Everything in sight around us began to suspend in mid-air.

From small to large, from light to heavy.

So much so that streetlights, trees, signs, and even some not-so-large houses all flew up.

Then it shot outwards.

With the violent destruction of other veterans and the assistance of Zhan Lan.

However, in the blink of an eye, all the buildings and obstructions within a two-kilometer radius disappeared.

Only the central church remains intact on the ground.

After clearing the area, Zhan Lan stood up again and stood behind Zheng Zha.

Li Xiao saw this scene but just stared at Zhan Lan without saying a word.

However, judging from the reactions of the other members of the Zhongzhou team, it's clear just how outrageous Zhan Lan's actions were.

All I can say is that even if this person hasn't caught up with Zhang Jie, he's probably not far off.

Perhaps all that's missing is a fourth-order gene lock or an S-level item.

The group landed one by one.

Because of flight constraints, the swarm of insects has not yet reached their location.

However, everyone had a tacit understanding.

Both Li Xiao and Zheng Zha simultaneously produced a golden bracelet.

next moment.

Black sand surged from the ground, forming a wave that rushed towards the outermost edge of the defensive line.

Even if we can't stop them, at least we can buy them the time they need most.

In their all-out effort, the two summoned a legion of nearly ten thousand wolf-headed, human-bodied Death Gods.

These attack units, which have no range limitations and can respawn infinitely, serve as the outermost perimeter.

Then, the two Chu Xuans began to take things out of their respective spatial bags or spatial rings.

It's important to understand that although the entire Zhongzhou team has replaced their space rings with higher-level ones, it doesn't mean that their space bags are useless.

Just like now, all the spatial bags and extra spatial rings are stored close to Chu Xuan's body.

The two Chu Xuans seemed to be very busy.

After landing, he only told everyone to buy them some time, and then said nothing more.

Looking at the church behind her, Zhan Lan said:
"Carlos, Jill, and Alice, take the children into the church. No matter what happens outside, don't come out until the battle is over."

As she spoke, Zhan Lan quickly took out enough food and water for them from her spatial bag.

Seeing this, Li Xiao quickly said, "Right, bring Brother Jie in too."

As he spoke, Li Xiao had the black policeman carry Zhang Jie, who was already unable to move, on his back.

Then, at Yingkong's suggestion, Li Xiao sent Ao Sai in as well.

After all, there's no shortage of Transformers out there.

It was at this moment that the two newcomers from the Zhongzhou team spoke up.

Perhaps knowing that things had escalated beyond normal limits, he hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to approach Li Xiao.

Before the two of them could speak, Chu Xuan, who had been operating the machine in front of him with his head down, suddenly spoke up.

"You two will stay with me; I need your help with some work."

Seeing the two newlyweds being taken away by Chu Xuan, Li Xiao was stunned for a moment. In fact, he had already planned to let the newlyweds go to the church with him.

After all, newcomers are of little use on the battlefield except for screaming, so they might as well go into the church together to take care of the children.

Li Xiao, unaware of what Chu Xuan was up to, shook his head and stopped thinking about it, just as the church doors closed.

The familiar figure of the Warrior Bug has already appeared at the very edge.

The brownish color began to fill everything in sight over time.

Until finally, they clashed with the black legion of death.

The battle has begun!

"All I want to say is, isn't all of this a bit too sudden?!"

"Test my tender mother!"

After making that comment, Saito took the Desert Eagle that Zhang Jie had given him earlier and slung it over his shoulder.

This also seems to be the only weapon in the Central Continent team with unlimited firepower.

Bang bang bang bang!

Saito Hajime, who had just pulled the trigger, quickly got used to the recoil of the Desert Eagle.

"Overclocking Link!"

As the verbal instructions were given.

The bullets suddenly slowed down as they flew out of the muzzle.

The noisy surroundings suddenly became monotonous and quiet as time was stretched out.

Saito Hajime, entering the world of overclocking for the first time, looked around this brand-new world with amazement, and for a moment he was a little distracted.

He shifted his gaze to his surroundings.

This was the first time Saito Hajime had seen Zhao Yingkong, and Li Xiao and the others were moving so slowly.

It moves slowly, like it's choppy, frame by frame.

On the other side, the warrior insects surging from the darkness were the same—no, they were even slower. (End of Chapter)
