Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

According to the description of the main god, the parasite's enhancement of the body is more like a way to make the host adapt to its parasitic nature, and it does not have a very powerful effect.

Not to mention that Zero's current physical recovery ability and strength are already quite strong due to the modification of his viral bloodline.

"Next, let's test the enhancement of sniping capabilities."

"I remember that Parasites have independent hearing and vision. You can try to use its characteristics to aim."

"This can be considered a simulation of what it would be like if you were seriously injured."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he took out a sniper rifle at midnight.

Just as the right hand grasped the object, numerous tentacles extended from the forearm and palm, quickly intertwining with it.

Finally, the entire right shoulder and the sniper rifle almost became one, and a special biological buffer structure grew between the two.

Li Xiao, who witnessed this scene up close, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Putting everything else aside, the uniquely shaped cushioning structure alone is worth half the price.

This frees up the ability to launch continuous attacks at zero points.

Unlike in Transformers, where a character would be critically injured after being shot a few hundred times.

"Attack the main god!"

Right after he finished transforming at midnight, Chu Xuan pointed to the top of his head and said casually.

Upon hearing this...

The people nearby were instantly embarrassed and then took two steps back in unison.

However, Zero did not hesitate at all, and the sniper rifle on the right was raised and fired with a roar.

"Bam—!"

Deafening gunfire erupted in the main square.

Zero's sniper rifle emitted a blazing tongue of fire that flashed by in an instant.

The specially designed armor-piercing sniper bullet leaves a straight trajectory in the air after being fired.

It hurtled straight toward the floating orb of light overhead with a sharp whooshing sound.

As the gunshot rang out, Li Xiao's eyelids twitched violently.

Zhang Jie and Chen Zilong even closed their eyes, giving the impression that they "didn't see anything."

However, the long, narrow, black bullet suddenly stopped about half a meter from the surface of the main god's sphere.

It was at this moment that the members of the Central Continent Team saw a layer of pale golden ripples visible to the naked eye, emanating from the center of the bullet, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

The bullet was still hovering in mid-air, spinning at high speed, but it just couldn't move forward an inch.

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses as indifferent as ever.

The bullet travels from the barrel to its final stop in mid-air in just a moment.

So much so that most of the Central Continent team didn't even see what happened before they saw the bullet lose power and fall down.

The supreme deity remains unchanged, still there.

Compared to the unusual phenomena on the main god, Zero Point cares more about the special feel of this moment.

Because that shot was no different from catching a feather falling from the sky.

At midnight, he glanced at his right hand and realized what was happening.

The sniper rifle in his hand disappeared, replaced by a Type 95 rifle. With the change of weapon, his right hand also underwent another change.

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

Half a day later.

After comprehensive testing, everyone discovered...

Parasites not only greatly increased the limits of firearms use.

Even without firearms, Zero's close-combat ability has been greatly enhanced.

The right hand can flexibly transform into various forms such as blades, whips, shields, ropes, etc., not just weapons.

It can be said to be both offensive and defensive, and its strength is astonishing.

In its 1m x 1m shield form, it can withstand direct fire from 12mm caliber fire from a firearm.

Moreover, even if it is damaged, the right hand can be restored to its original state after a short period of repair.

For example, routine gunshot wounds can be healed instantly within seconds, with almost no time interval.

It can even detach its entire right hand from Zero's body to launch a separate attack.

Just like in the beginning, it grew wings and flew away on its own.

However, such behavior has strict time limits, just like a fish out of water, which can move and jump around for a while.

However, it only lasts for a short time; according to experiments, this time is approximately five minutes.

The combat ability of a lone parasite is basically equivalent to that of Zero himself; it is neither very strong nor very weak.

Besides the advantages mentioned above, the disadvantages are also very obvious. High temperatures and low temperatures exceeding a certain limit will destroy the parasite's activity.

It cannot regenerate at high temperatures, and loses its ability to deform and move at low temperatures.

Another issue is the severe bond with the symbiotic host; if the host dies at midnight, the parasite will also die immediately.

Looking at the final result, Chen Zilong complained:
"Tsk tsk tsk, in this respect it is not as good as Venom. Venom is more like a suit of clothing, that is, a bio-mech."

Parasites, on the other hand, are custom-made functional bio-prosthetics.

Zhu Wen laughed from the side, "Be content. Looking at it now, the Parasite Beast's enhancement is a very good ability."

"Especially for auxiliary and remote attackers."

Zero didn't know if it was the God's quirky sense of humor or because he usually didn't talk much, but the parasite on his right hand turned out to be a serious chatterbox.

Even if no one pays attention to it while it's doing experiments for half a day, it can keep talking to itself. If someone is willing to support it, it can give a passionate impromptu speech.

That's why it took half a day; otherwise, it would have been over long ago.

"Now that the whole team has completed their upgrades, let's..."

Zhu Wen hadn't finished speaking.

Chen Zilong suddenly arrived and interrupted him.

The man, his hands gripping the edge of the table and his upper body lowered, asked, "Aren't you curious about those Zerg?"

Chen Zilong realized his statement was inaccurate and quickly added, "It's about where exactly the Zerg's world is."

"After getting up early this morning, Zhu Wen and I watched the horror movie Starship Troopers in our room."

The entire document never mentions where the Zerg's main base is.

"Um, what I meant was, why would the Zerg world have spiritual energy? Don't you guys find that strange?"

"Moreover, the quality of this spiritual energy is very good, which is one of the reasons why Li Xiao and I advanced so smoothly."

Saito and Cheng Xiao nodded at Chen Zilong.

Zhang Jie rubbed his chin with interest: "It is indeed a bit strange!"

"Could this insectoid race actually be some kind of demon race? A branch of it? An insect demon?"

"But if that's really the case, I wouldn't be surprised. It might be from some high-class horror movie."

After Zhang Jie finished speaking, the others who were brainstorming also began to discuss.

There was absolutely no awkward silence after the topic was changed.

In fact, it's not just Chen Zilong; everyone in the Zhongzhou team is thinking about this issue.

Where did the seemingly endless number of Zerg come from?

Why did they approach the Senzhou team?
And why can it invade the world of horror movies? Why can't the main god intervene directly?
There were just too many problems. Even a fool could tell something was wrong, let alone them.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Chu Xuan suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

What do you think of the Demon Team's strength?

The heated atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Although he didn't know why Chu Xuan suddenly changed the subject, Zhang Jie instinctively replied:
“Very strong, especially Zheng Zha and the other you.”

“I can sense a threat from them.”

Chu Xuan nodded, looked at the others, and continued to ask, "So, do you feel that the Demon Team has reached a level where they can ignore the main god's evaluation and the difficulty of horror movies?"

While everyone else was still pondering, Li Xiao answered the question with extreme decisiveness.
"It's done!"

"It's not just the Demon Team; I suspect that the Celestial Team in the Main God Space has also reached this level of strength."

"Even the previous Morizu team was like this."

Everyone agreed with Li Xiao's words, since they couldn't think of anything that could be used to counter these three teams.

Chu Xuan asked again, "What about the Central Continent Team?"

Li Xiao sat in the chair and once again entered the third-stage gene lock thinking mode.

Others also began to make comparisons in their minds.

Chu Xuan said calmly, "I can assure you that the Central Continent Team's reputation among the main gods has reached a terrifying level. The two previous horror movies are enough to illustrate this."

"Especially since these two parts no longer have any plot; they've all become background elements in the power system setting."

"Even though Zhan Lan is dead and Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu are seriously injured, there is no doubt that the Zhongzhou team has reached this level of intensity."

"Otherwise, whether it's Transformers or Resident Evil, team battles will only have one outcome: total annihilation."

.........

How could that be?

Chen Zilong spoke up instinctively, his face full of surprise.

"Didn't you say it was some kind of 'two peaches kill three warriors' strategy? If we wipe out the Demon Team, won't they be finished too?"

Chu Xuan looked calmly at the Central Continent Team members: "Haven't you noticed yet?"

"Even without the Central Continent Team in the last horror movie, the final result would not have changed."

"Or rather, the fate of the Morizu team was already sealed after their arrival... It has nothing to do with whether we intervene or not."

Hearing such blunt truths out of the blue can be quite hurtful to one's self-esteem.

Especially when everyone feels they are quite capable.

"To me, this is more like a test, a test from the supreme god."

Zhu Wen frowned and said, "Does that mean the difficulty of our upcoming horror movies will increase?"

Chu Xuan shook his head: "It won't make you taller, but rather you'll receive special care from the main god. You can think of it as being given more attention."

Upon hearing this description, Chen Zilong covered his face and said in a low voice, "Then I'd rather not take it so seriously."

Chu Xuan forced a stiff smile:
"But it is undeniable that we are currently facing a very serious situation. Under these circumstances, it can be said that no matter what kind of horror movie we enter, none of us will be absolutely safe!"

"This is also one of the reasons why I would agree to resurrect other people even though the next horror movie is clearly the most dangerous ghost genre."

Upon hearing these contradictory words, some people frowned.

But many more, like the Three Idiots of Middle-earth, simply nodded mindlessly, even with expressions of agreement.

Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, Li Xiao spoke up, "It's not just us."

"As Chu Xuan just said, the Demon Team and the Celestial Team are in the same situation, which is why they never want to actively provoke side quests."

"Perhaps they are also wary of the main god, or are on guard against something."

What Li Xiao didn't say was that he always felt Chu Xuan only agreed to be resurrected after knowing that the next horror movie was Silent Hill.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

But Li Xiao couldn't understand why, though he might be overthinking it.

Zhang Jie tapped the table, looked at Chu Xuan, and asked, "Where's the overclocking equipment?"

"Although this thing has limitations, its effects are indeed powerful, especially when Li Xiao simultaneously enters Destruction Mode."

"Based on this calculation, it's highly likely that Zheng Zha will be able to do it once he recovers."

After hearing Zhang Jie's description, the rest of the Zhongzhou team finally understood what was going on.

They originally thought that Li Xiao could only barely move around in the overclocking world.

But now it seems that this is a powerful ability that they could never have imagined.

Saito was even more surprised after realizing what was happening: "Isn't this just The Flash?"

"You actually managed to do this?"

Li Xiao had no choice but to recount everything that had happened and his brief moment of peak wisdom.

However, what she got in return was a pair of eyes burning with jealousy.

Cheng Xiao even materialized directly, his entire body bursting into flames.

He lay back and twisted like a caterpillar.

And while twisting and turning, they shouted things like "It's unfair!" and "This is outrageous!"

Completely ignoring this person, Chu Xuan calmly said, "Powerful strength and super-strong nerve reflexes can indeed achieve this."

"But I'm more interested in what you call accelerated thinking, which is essentially a form of superimposed intelligence..."

Seeing that Chu Xuan was going off-topic, Li Xiao quickly interrupted him.

"Wait, wait, what I really want to know is whether the overclocking mode still works?"

"If I can use it, I will be able to do more and be stronger in a state of destruction."

"And if I'm not mistaken, overclocking equipment doesn't actually need a server, right?"

"The role played by Brother Jie may be useful, but he will definitely not be unable to move or use his mental power."

Under everyone's gaze, Chu Xuan nodded.

He looked at Li Xiao and said, "If you're the only one using overclocking mode, then there's really no need for a mental server."

"But there's one thing I didn't mention before, and that's the real side effects of overclocking."

The members of the Central Continent Team were taken aback for a moment, and then they all showed expressions of "I knew it."

Even Li Xiao was no exception.

None of the veterans who have survived to this day are fools.

The simplest anomaly is that after they returned, some people had no physical injuries, but after Zhang Jie called on the main god for healing.

The group stayed in the pillar of light for almost half an hour before it ended.

At that moment, Li Xiao realized that it was most likely Chu Xuan who was behind it.

This may be one of the reasons why the Devil Team did not stay in the Resident Evil world.

Because if we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave at all.

Li Xiao covered his head with his hands and asked with a wry smile, "So what is the real damage?"

Under everyone's gaze, Chu Xuan calmly said, "Neurons in a certain aspect of brain tissue."

"This is another reason why I only brought out the overclocking equipment after I took out the Philosopher's Stone." (End of Chapter)
