Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Li Xiao and the others chatted for a short while.

Saito Hajime, Cheng Xiao, and Zero walked out together as agreed.

Where's Brother Jie?

"Still not out?"

Saito, dressed in this tight-fitting outfit, looked around and asked.

Just then, the door on the other side suddenly opened.

Na'er, wearing a cheongsam, came out carrying steaming hot buns.

The little girls following behind, Xin'er and Yue'er, each carried two plates.

After everyone was seated.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the mountain of steaming white buns piled on the table.

Zhu Wen: "This..."

Na'er stood to the side and said with a smile, "Eat up, Zhang Jie said you haven't had a proper meal for several days."

"The three of us steamed some buns early this morning."

"Tell me what else you'd like to eat, and I'll make it for you at lunchtime today."

Li Xiao asked from the side, "What about Brother Jie?"

Na'er clapped her hands: "Just wait, I'll call them for you."

After saying that, the head chef jogged back to his room, and a moment later, Zhang Jie, wearing an apron and covered in flour, appeared in front of everyone.

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and eat."

"I bet you guys just rested yesterday and were too lazy to eat breakfast this morning."

Zhang Jie waved his hand as he watched some people trying to suppress their laughter and said...

Seeing this, Chen Zilong and his companions didn't stand on ceremony and started munching on one in each hand.

Zhu Wen and Zhao Yingkong, being women, were more refined and ate in small bites.

I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten for several days, or if the steamed buns are just really delicious.

Once everyone started eating, they couldn't stop.

Fortunately, Na'er and the other two brought out several more large plates of steamed buns, which was enough.

"It tastes delicious, but why is it all meat filling?"

"Not a single vegetarian dish?"

"By the way, what kind of meat is this? Beef or lamb? It's definitely not pork."

"It's quite chewy and has a pleasant aftertaste."

Saito nodded vigorously beside him, swallowed a mouthful, and added:
"In particular, it has a sweet and sour taste that is not greasy at all, and when you swallow it, there is a fresh and mellow flavor."

Zhu Wen and Zhao Yingkong, who were eating in small bites, nodded to each other, expressing their approval of the food.

Although the two ate politely, they ate quite a lot.

In just a short while, there were at least eight or ten of them.

Hearing such high praise, Loli, Xin'er, and Yue'er jumped up with joy, and the excited group even gave each other a high five in mid-air.

Unfortunately, apart from Yue'er, these other members only learned about everything that happened to the Central Continent Team during the Resident Evil Crisis after returning to the Main God Space yesterday.

Helpless, all they could do was try their best in this regard, at least that made them feel a little better.

However, it was at this time that...

Xin'er clenched her hands earnestly: "I knew it would taste good, otherwise why would Honglu have been eating them all the time?"

Beside her, Yue'er nodded vigorously: "It seems that the Zerg are not without their advantages."

"The amount of food in the Demon Refining Pot can be considered as a food reserve."

The little girl was also overjoyed: "Luckily I tasted it beforehand and didn't add any salt, otherwise it would definitely have been too salty. I didn't expect the meat in the Zerg to be naturally salty."

"By the way, when Zheng Zha wakes up, we can also make him some juice."

"This should count as blood, right? Maybe he'll like it."

Xin'er nodded repeatedly: "And barbecue, that's Honglu's favorite thing. He must be happy to have such a big one now."

As the head chef, Na'er even went so far as to analyze her own methods for handling the ingredients.

However, the four people who were having a heated discussion did not notice that an eerie silence had fallen over the other side of the table.

Everyone except Zhang Jie stared wide-eyed.

The jaw that was chewing trembled silently.

Even Chu Xuan, who had been expressionless, silently put down the half-eaten bun in his hand and took out an apple to eat again.

The four chefs walked back into the house while talking. Judging from their conversation, they were planning to make juice to see if Zheng Zha would drink the insect blood after he woke up.

Zhang Jie, who was wearing an apron, didn't think much of it at first.

However, with the disappearance of the four chefs, the psychic gradually sensed something was amiss through his keen senses.

Because at that moment, everyone's eyes were on him.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jie immediately shook his head:

"It wasn't me, I didn't do it, let me explain, I... Waaah! Bang! Oh! You! Stop!"

...............

After playing around.

Everyone sat down again.

Joking aside, the taste of the insect meat was ultimately well-received by everyone.

Especially after learning how many insectoids were inside the Demon Refining Pot.

After the small talk, Zhu Wen, although she had just become the team leader, had at least seen what it was like to be a pig even if she hadn't eaten pork.

So, under the command of the new captain of the Central Continent Team, everyone began to investigate the spoils of this operation in an orderly manner.

"Main storyline 1000, side storyline 1500, one D, kill 5000 brain worms, one B."

"Killed 7000 veteran members of the Senzhou team, one B."

"Wait, one team battle point? Only two thousand reward points??"

Li Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

"This...isn't something wrong?"

"Is your team fight score also one point?"

Chen Zilong and Saito Hajime, who had already checked, both nodded.

Then all three of them looked at Zhu Wen.

"Our Zhongzhou team killed three members of the Senzhou team and lost two rookies, so we have accumulated one team battle point."

"This is correct, there's no mistake."

Looking at Zhu Wen, Chen Zilong listened incredulously: "No, I know Zhu Shasha is holding back a point, but how can Xia Yan, as the guide, also count?"

"And didn't this person survive on their own later?"

"No, that guy was just faking his death. How could he have been so easily killed by a single shot, given the strength he displayed at the end?"

"I'm really impressed."

As he spoke, Chen Zilong counted on his fingers:
"Li Xiao killed a veteran, while Zhu Wen and Saito killed two newbies."

"In the end, the brain worms that the Morizu team handed over were one each for me, Sakura, and Wenwen."

"Oh right, there's also midnight."

Chen Zilong didn't realize it until he did the math and discovered that the silent Zero Point was the ultimate winner this time.

Zero Point is the member of the Central Continent team who has earned the most reward points in this horror movie.

Although he didn't kill any members of the Senzhou team, he killed quite a few brain worms.

In just these three days, the brain worm provided four B-level side quests and 20,000 reward points.

If Chen Zilong's calculations are correct, Zero Point has a total of 24,500 reward points, four Bs and one D.

Despite the many unbelievable things that happened in the previous team battle.

Fortunately, the final result was not bad, though it wasn't exactly a complete success.

But at least it was normal for once.

At least this time, the gains are enough to resurrect some people. After all, don't forget that Chu Xuan, who killed the first god before the last horror movie, has two B-level side quests, while everyone else has one B-level side quest each.

Moreover, the previous horror film also retained most of the elements it had gained from Transformers.

It can be said that at this moment, the side quests and reward points accumulated by the Zhongzhou team members are at their peak in a short period of time.

Chu Xuan, Zhu Wen, Ling Dian, and Li Xiao—each of them has automatically spawned an A-level side storyline.

The average reward points are over ten thousand per person.

"So, what's the next horror movie?"

They had just finished excitedly discussing the reward points when Chu Xuan's words silenced everyone again.

However, this topic did indeed scratch everyone's itch.

And so, a series of slightly heated gazes were cast toward the new captain of the Central Continent Team.

Zhu Wen, who was suddenly surrounded by onlookers, became inexplicably nervous.

"Oh, right, the next horror movie."

"Wait a minute, everyone, let me take a look first."

Perhaps it's because it's my first time being a team leader and I'm still not very familiar with the role.

Zhu Wen closed her eyes and it took her a while to come back to her senses after connecting with the main god.

After taking a deep breath, the captain couldn't help but show a helpless and exhausted look.

She looked at everyone and said, "I think this is bad news, but I don't know how to tell you."

Cheng Xiao crossed his arms: "It looks difficult, so what?"

"What is it? Tell us so we can give up?"

Chen Zilong shrugged at Zhu Wen, whose expression was hard to hide, and said, "Tell me, what could be harder than being invaded by the Zerg and facing a biohazard crisis?"

Zhu Wen glanced upwards thoughtfully for a moment, then surprisingly nodded.

This result made Li Xiao and Zhang Jie shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Zhao Yingkong looked at Zhu Wen reassuringly and said softly, "It's okay, go ahead and say it."

"No matter what, we will face it together."

Zhu Wen, mimicking Zhan Lan's gesture from before, covered her forehead and whispered, "It's a ghost/horror movie, Silent Hill!"

...............

"silent Hill???"

After a brief silence, two distinctly different voices rang out simultaneously.

One was doubt, the other was shock.

Zhang Jie's previously relaxed expression turned serious in that instant.

Chu Xuan then put away the document he had just been reading.

Even at midnight, he sat up a few points straighter.

Li Xiao suppressed his excitement, looked at his teammates with solemn expressions, thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"Everyone, let's put aside the issue of this horror movie for now; we can discuss it in the last two or three days."

As she spoke, she looked at Chu Xuan.

"Now I want to ask, is it possible to resurrect other people?"

"Assuming the next horror movie is Silent Hill."

Chu Xuan's expression remained as calm as ever: "Okay."

Hearing those two words, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Wen's complexion improved considerably, and she nodded, saying, "In that case, let's discuss the next horror movie after we're resurrected."

"So, as usual, we'll keep the side quests and reward points used for resurrection, and use the rest for enhancement and exchange."

Hearing Zhu Wen's words, Li Xiao didn't give anyone else a chance and quickly chimed in:

"I have just advanced to the Golden Core stage, and I haven't learned the skills from the flying sword and the ruins yet, so I don't need to strengthen them at the moment."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, Chen Zilong echoed his sentiment, conveying a similar idea.

With a complete set of the Four Divine Armor and the newly acquired Great Celestial Immortal Technique, this person was not in a hurry to exchange for the complete version of the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, which was worth double A-level.

Of course, the truth is that the entire Central Continent team can indeed create two A-level side quests.

But reviving others wouldn't be enough.

Therefore, Chen Zilong immediately stated his position.

Needless to say, Zhao Yingkong and Zhang Jie both waved their hands.

Given the strength of their genetic locks, reward points and side quests have essentially become meaningless to them.

Zhang Jie even stated that other people could freely spend the reward points and side quests he possessed.

In this way.

The team consisted of nine people. After removing four, only five people remained in the Zhongzhou team: Saito Hajime, Cheng Xiao, Zhu Wen, Zero Point, and Chu Xuan.

Saito touched his bald head and looked around.

"No one's saying anything? Then I'll speak first."

"I thought about it last night."

I don't plan to exchange for any items or skills, especially after the battle with the Zerg.

I plan to exchange more time to return to the temple and train in the world of Ju-on.

"Although I don't consider myself a combatant in the team, the gap can't be too big, right?"

"Moreover, I feel that the Linglong Pagoda, a Buddhist treasure, should have other uses, so I'll go and study it."

Li Xiao and the others nodded in agreement, finding the idea reasonable.

Chen Zilong then asked, "Old Qi, how many reward points do you have right now?"

Saito Hajime: "More than 7,600. If I exchange them all, it will probably last for about 150 days."

Chen Zilong: "Fifty reward points a day, wow, that's expensive!"

After calculating, Chen Zilong gritted his teeth and said, "One year, Lao Qi, you can just exchange for a year, and I'll pay for the rest of the reward points."

"Damn it, out with the old, in with the new."

"Maybe in the next horror movie, after we've conquered Silent Hill, each of us will get an A-level side story. You'll have to pay me back then!"

Hearing this, Saito was both amused and exasperated.

But he still nodded and replied, "Okay, if I save the world in the next horror movie, I'll definitely pay you back."

After the two finished speaking, Zhao Yingkong looked at Zhu Wen. Perhaps knowing what she was going to say, Zhao Yingkong spoke first.

"Zhu Wen, what about you? Are you going to exchange for the Clow Cards directly?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile, "I already have a resurrection item, otherwise this time..."

Seeing the expressions on some people's faces, Zhu Wen didn't continue speaking but changed her approach.

"I have a total of twelve Clow Cards so far."

"So how about exchanging it for a flower card?"

"All you need is one D-level side quest and 1200 reward points."

"Although I don't quite understand why this card exists in the Clow Card system, Chu Xuan, didn't you say that everything exists for a reason?"

"This card should be useful too."

“I already have the tree card, so I feel that these two should complement each other. Also, there's the land card. These three can be used in combination.”

As Zhu Wen spoke, she skipped over Zhao Yingkong and Chen Zilong, who was winking at her, and looked directly at Chu Xuan and Li Xiao.

Zhu Wen understood that the position of captain had only been given to her.

With Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu absent from the group, only Li Xiao and Chu Xuan truly had any influence.

Chu Xuan looked at Zhu Wen and said directly, "Okay, if you choose this option, you can also exchange for basic cards such as the Strike Card, Wave Card, Rain Card, and Cloud Card, which are also the lowest-value D-level side quests."

"I redeemed them all; they're only worth about one B-level side quest."

"Increasing the number of Clow Cards can quickly compensate for your combat endurance and attack combination patterns."

"Especially with the support of your second-stage gene lock, as long as you have a large number of Clow Cards, you can perform like a seasoned powerhouse who has unlocked the third-stage gene lock and exchanged for an A-grade bloodline in a short period of time."

"In my calculations, when you exchange for more than thirty Clow Cards, you can briefly contend with the fighting power of someone like Zhao Yingkong or Zhang Jie, thanks to their various magical properties." (End of Chapter)
