Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

The next day, the seventh day.

Everyone gathered near the construction site.

At this time, Evelyn had already completed the collection of information about the surrounding terrain with Moss.

After all, Evelin rested last night but Mosco did not.

It can be said that all the energy was spent on scanning and drawing maps.

It was at this time that the Zhongzhou team realized something, which was the nuclear explosion ten years ago.

Although it did not affect Hamunata, which was covered by the power of the formation.

But the surrounding terrain and topography have changed a lot.

It can be said that the usefulness of the map in hand has been reduced by more than half.

Otherwise, Moss wouldn't have spent a whole night calculating and comparing before finishing.

And early in the morning, Evelyn had already found several standard points on the map and the actual terrain.

"The altar is located at the bottom of the mausoleum."

"The old map shows that the entire Hamunaptra has five floors and is a pyramid-shaped structure."

"The altar you are looking for is on the fifth floor. It occupies the largest area and has the largest space."

"Of course, the altar is just one piece of it."

"The easiest way right now is to find the location of the first floor."

"After entering the first floor, the rest is easy. Even if there are collapses along the way, as long as we dig step by step, we can quickly reach the fifth-floor altar."

Zheng Zha asked urgently:

"Where is the first floor?"

Evelyn shrugged.

"That's the problem. We don't know the first floor, which is the intersection where we entered."

"So we can only use the dumbest method."

"That is to find a random place and dig down, even if it is possible to dig to the second or third floor."

"But as long as I can determine a point, I can infer the underground location of the altar on the fifth floor based on the map."

"Then there's no need to look for an entrance, just dig a path that leads directly to the altar."

“This is also the simplest and most direct method.”

After saying that, several red dots appeared in front of Moss's projection.

Evelyn continued:
"These are the locations I marked that have the highest overlap with Hamunaptra."

"I originally thought that we would allocate the money to the migrant workers when they arrive."

"But Moss said you should be able to do a preliminary positioning."

Zheng Zha hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Zilong and Zhang Heng who were also confused, and said embarrassedly:

"Um, can you put it more simply?"

Evelin shook her head helplessly:

“To keep it simple, just dig!”

"Dig deeper at these three locations!"

"Just one dig would allow me to complete the location."

"And that allowed me to directly determine the location of the altar."

"Whatever is dug out can be a mummy, a vessel, an ancient book, or even a piece of gold with inscriptions on it."

"Because I am now familiar with the horror of Hamunatta."

Looking at the fanatical expression on Evelin’s face, Li Xiaocai suddenly realized something.

That is, if Evelyn has Hamunatta's memory in her memory, isn't this just digging herself up?

Before the Zhongzhou team could think about it,
Evelin waved her hand as she finished speaking.

Moss controlled three drones and flew towards the construction site where work was in full swing.

It hovered at three locations several kilometers apart.

At this time, workers gathered at three locations on the construction site.

Zheng Zha then asked:

"Just checking what's underground, right?"

"You don't have to dig it up, is that what you mean?"

Evelin was stunned, then nodded.

Just when she was about to ask how to confirm it without digging it up.

Only then could he see clearly the two books in Zheng Zha's hands.

Then I realized that this group of people are not ordinary people, so they naturally have extraordinary methods.

Zheng Zha said directly:

"Me, Li Xiao, and Xiao Honglu, we'll each go to one place."

"After the internal and spiritual powers were consumed by more than two-thirds, Zhao Yingkong, Chen Zilong, and Zhang Heng prepared to change players."

After Zheng Zha finished speaking, he determined the location.

Xiao Honglu reacted the fastest. With a point of his finger, countless ochre-colored talismans flew out from his sleeves.

Then a yellow light flashed, and he rushed out with Xiao Honglu.

After reaching the location marked by Moss, we turned down and explored down without any obstacles.

It turned out to be a method like escaping underground.

Zheng Zha, who was holding the Black Scripture of the Undead, began to passively consume the vampire energy as the awkward voice sounded.

After a few seconds.

An ultra-small tornado centered on Zheng Zha appeared in front of everyone.

When Adebei and his men saw this scene, they quickly called on the people around them to retreat.

Then a strong wind brought up a rolling sand and finally carried Zheng Zha downwards.

Only a hole that looked like it had been eroded by wind was left.

After Li Xiao's experience just now, the people around him had already moved away from him.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, and eight flying swords appeared one after another.

Finally he leaped up and stepped on one of them, and the remaining seven flying swords formed a simple spiral shape.

Along with the flying dust, it also disappeared from everyone's sight.

Another day passed like this, and in the evening of the next day.

The large group of migrant workers finally managed to reach Hamunaptra before the sun set.

Although these more than 5,000 people were prepared physically and mentally, they were immediately thrown into the difficult excavation work under the temptation of Zheng Zha's mountain of gold.

That’s right, after the Zhongzhou team changed shifts twice.

Relying on the vibrating dagger, Chen Zilong finally dug to a tomb chamber on the third floor where mummies were stored before his internal energy was exhausted.

The two confirmed each other, which successfully allowed Evelyn to find the final location of the altar on the map.

The final location turned out to be five kilometers east of the existing construction site.

Seeing Evelin's determined look, Zheng Zha and the others were very grateful.

If they follow their strategy without a map, they will dig layer by layer.

If you want to dig to this place, it will take at least a month to complete.

Now, more than 5,000 people are working in shifts and all they have to do is dig downwards.

The depth is amazing though.

Troubled by quicksand.

But this kind of meaningless, repetitive work is exactly what the workers of this era are good at.

And there is help from Moss and the Moss.

Another day passed, and it was also the ninth day that the Zhongzhou team entered the plot world.

The sky is bright.

The sun above the desert is like the god of death that reaps lives, but fortunately there is a thick layer of clouds right above the ruins acting as a sunshade.

This also gave the ground workers a chance to breathe.

At this time, the original location has become a huge sunken pit.

Frames of sand are transported out like machines on an assembly line.

When the workers looked up during their breaks, they couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of the Pharaoh's messenger.

That’s right, this is the identity that the workers assigned to the Zhongzhou team after they got off the airship.

There is a saying that goes, when you become strong enough.

There is no need to introduce yourself, because the weak people have already thought of all the causes and consequences for you.

The story is already written for you, and all you have to do is nod and wave.

At this time, the worker wearing a sun hat and holding the construction drawings shouted loudly:
"According to the depth Miss Evelyn mentioned, we will need at least ten days."

"And your demands are really too harsh."

"The excavation site is so large that we have arranged three shifts. Even with the protection of the Egyptian Pharaoh, we cannot complete the excavation in the time you specified even if all personnel are mobilized."

"Because the further down you go, the more difficult the construction will be."

The engineer who was hired from Cairo to excavate the ruins looked at the huge pit that appeared in the desert in just one day and said with a grim expression.

Zheng Zha frowned and said, "Ten times. I will increase the price tenfold from before!"

"For every day you advance, I'll double your bonus."

After Zheng Zha finished speaking, several men in black around him picked up several large bags that had been prepared long ago.

Start pouring outwards.

Gold bars, banknotes, coins, gemstones.

"Gold bars, US dollars, pounds, francs, we can satisfy all your needs."

"I give you the best tools and the best machinery."

"We have provided food and supplements, and I even have people to provide you with shade and shield you from pain and fatigue."

Zheng Zha pointed at Xiao Honglu and Zhang Heng at the edge.

"What else do you want? Wine? Or a whore?"

"If it can speed up the excavation progress, then it's possible!"

"And that's all. I only have one request!"

"I don't care what method you use, three days. I only need three days to see the altar!"

As Zheng Zha said these words, several dried and rotten mummies in the desert stood behind him with great momentum.

The meaning is obvious.

I can give you whatever you want, but you have to follow my schedule.

And Zheng Zha was indeed getting anxious.

Although everything was going smoothly, nine days had already passed and their progress in reviving their teammates was surprisingly slow, let alone the main mission.

It can only be said that at the beginning everyone imagined that excavating the City of the Dead was too simple.

The engineer looked at the living mummy and swallowed his saliva. After coming to his senses, he said nervously:

"Explosives. If we want to speed up, we need a powerful attack or explosives."

"Are you sure you only want the altar on the fifth floor and nothing else?"

"Destructive excavation can be carried out directly on it."

That afternoon.

The rumbling sound began to resound throughout the desert.

One shell after another was fired into the pit as if it were free.

After a certain amount has been reached, they will dig and transport again, and the digging speed will become faster.

Li Xiao even suggested doing a "big" thing in one go.

The slogan "Take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle" was put forward.

Maybe it would blow up the altar directly.

However, Li Xiao's crazy plan was rejected by everyone in the team the moment it was proposed.

The depth and width of the pothole continued to increase throughout the day.

If you only look at the construction direction, it feels like the desert is being hollowed out.

Half a day later.

After O'Connor, Adelaide, and even Evelyn tried one by one.

Now it was Jonathan's turn.

After skillfully replacing the battery, Jonathan fired a shot from the silver-white plasma cannon.

He didn't even have time to marvel at the power of the weapon.

I saw that the huge pit and gravel seemed to come alive, constantly arching upwards.

Immediately afterwards, the shiny black scarabs revealed their true forms.

that's it.

Flocks of scarabs swarmed out as if they were free.

It's like digging out a hornet's nest.

When the black scarab covered the entire pit and began to crawl out.

Seeing this, Jonathan dropped his weapon and ran away.

The same was true for the workers nearby who saw this scene.

Jonathan kept cursing as he ran.

Because they had been bombing for the whole afternoon and nothing happened.

Evelyn fired more than a dozen times without any problems.

I finally got here, but ended up poking the scarab's lair?

Jonathan felt wronged and had no place to seek justice.

Just as Zheng Zha was about to throw the scarlet hot blood flame in his hand.

"Wait, wait, Captain!"

"Let me try!"

Cheng Xiao ran over from a distant camp.

He reached out and grabbed the slug stuck to his waist and abdomen and threw it down.

Zheng Zha and Li Xiao who were nearby also smelled the distinct scent of sandalwood again.

And that's the smell.

It also made the scarab in the pit more and more crazy, and even made a terrifying squeaking sound.

Only after seeing this scene did Evelyn realize that the scarab beetle could actually make sounds.

Because in their impression, this kind of insect raised in the pharaoh's tomb will only make gnawing sounds when eating humans.

As Cheng Xiao threw the slug in.

The scarabs in the entire pit were no longer running out.

Then, under the surprised gaze of the Zhongzhou team, they gradually gathered together and rolled into a ball densely packed with insects.

Looking at the ball-like insect nest, Zhu Wen and Evelyn subconsciously took two steps back.

After all, this scene is not particularly friendly to people with trypophobia.

At this time, Cheng Xiao shouted to Li Xiao and the others:

"Captain, is there anything to eat?"

"Flesh and blood are the best!"

Xiao Honglu looked around and said immediately:

"Camel, throw the camel in!"

Seeing Cheng Xiao's anxious expression, Adebei slaughtered more than a dozen huge camels at the first moment, and Chen Zilong and others hurriedly threw them in.

As for Zheng Zha, he has no meat but enough blood vessels.

Blood bags were thrown into the insect nest one after another.

When a dozen camels were completely digested.

The scarab's squeaking finally stopped.

The crowded insect nests seemed to have completed their mission and began to scatter.

All the scarabs now lay down quietly, as if they were falling asleep.

The slug once again appeared in front of Zhongzhou team member Chongse.

I saw that the originally fair skin now had a circle of dark black lines.

The slug crawled out of the hole and shook its tentacles before speaking:
"Master, I seem to have gained another ability, which seems to be controlling scarabs."

Seeing Yu Jieyin's slug, the O'Connell family is no longer surprised.

And what the slug said was because when Cheng Xiao recognized his master and assimilated the golden poisonous insect, he also obtained one.

It can assist in energy cultivation and help to condense the same amount of energy.

This energy can then be stored in the main body, and when kept close to the body, the energy can be returned along the same path.

In Li Xiao's understanding, it is the living half of the energy storage ring.

And there are many restrictions. For example, the slug can now only store one kind of internal force, either Li Xiao's internal force or Chen Zilong's internal force.

That’s right, it won’t work if the internal strength is different.

Therefore, the most important aspect of this ability is that it can assist in cultivation.

After hearing what the slug said, Cheng Xiao clearly felt that there was an additional connection in his mind.

And the slug is a transit station.

That was Cheng Xiao's thought.

The crawling scarab rolled into a ball again.

Then it changes from a sphere to a gate.

Finally it becomes a black arrow.

After seeing this scene, Cheng Xiao was certain that he could only play with bugs?

It was obvious that he had not yet gone to see what the main god space looked like.

Why has my path become narrower?
Actually I want a Super Saiyan!!!

Even Cheng Xiao dyed his hair in preparation for the Saiyans. (End of this chapter)
