Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"In the tests in the main god space, both of these penetrated the protective jade pendant with the first shot."

"I did some research when I returned to reality. These two types of bullets had never even left the real world's laboratory before the appearance of Gaussian ion sniper bullets."

"And finally, there is the special operations vehicle, which you call the super tank. It is also one of the most advanced weapons of war in modern times."

"In other words, compared to the monkeys we met at the beginning... they... should have evolved!"

"evolution?"

Hearing these two strange yet familiar words, Saito Ichi, Cheng Xiao, and Chen Zilong all looked confused.

After all, in their cognition, the last time they heard the word "evolution" was when they were watching Digimon.

Not only can they evolve, they can also super evolve and ultimately evolve.

Of course, this might happen.

Xiao Honglu said this and let out a breath.

It can be seen that this wise man is also very upset.

“Yes, it’s evolution.

When we first met, the monkeys used weapons from World War I and couldn’t defeat us.”

“So the second time, it was the weapons from World War II.”

"Until yesterday, when the sniper rifle and the super tank appeared. In my opinion, this should be the third evolution."

"The third time, they have evolved modern weaponry."

"It was not until this time that Zhan Lan and I discovered this horrible rule."

After Xiao Honglu finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Zhan Lan looked at the deadlocked surroundings, held his forehead and said with a smile:

"The good news is that based on the rewards we received, we should be able to do it twice more. That means we can win twice more."

"The bad news is that according to the previous deductions made by Xiao Honglu and I, the fifth chakra of the monkey should have evolved into a humanoid mecha similar to the Moss."

Chen Zilong was the first to react when he heard this, and said inexplicably excitedly:
"We can win twice. Even if each person wins 2,000 each time, that's 4,000 for two times."

"Also, why don't we take the initiative? We have always been passive before."

"Besides, Evelin and the others are holding us back, so we can't really perform at all."

"If it's just us."

“I think with our skills we just need to be careful about one thing.

You can kill a lot of monkeys easily."

"After all, no matter how powerful their weapons are, monkeys themselves are just fragile monkeys."

"I'm also afraid of bullets and scarabs."

Except for the two smart people, Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu, everyone else was stunned when they heard it.

It took me a while to barely catch up with Chen Zilong's thoughts.

Saito Ichi, the smart second-in-command, clapped his hands and said, "Yeah, isn't this an opportunity to earn unlimited bonus points?"

"Because according to what Zhan Lan just said, we may never be able to kill all the monkeys."

"The Lord God will constantly update the monkeys just like he updates the monsters."

Chen Zilong nodded and said something excitedly.

Xiao Honglu quickly interrupted and said helplessly:

"Everyone, this involves a probability issue. The probability I inferred shows that the Lord God will not leave the possibility for the Samsara team to gain unlimited reward points, or in other words, the probability is infinitely close to zero."

"First, it violates the conclusion of the existence of the Lord God. Second, don't forget the scoring mechanism we talked about before."

"Didn't you notice a problem? Killing this so-called jungle guardian will earn you bonus points."

“Don’t they get it individually, but everyone gets it as a team?”

“So the topic comes back again.

In my opinion, the biggest possibility is that the Samsara Squad is seen as a whole by the Lord God.

Rather than just one or a few people.

No matter who kills the monkey or what method is used, the team score will go up by one point for each monkey killed."

"The first time was the firearms from the 1970s and 1980s. The second time was during World War II, and the third time was modern equipment, or even something a little bit more futuristic."

"And so on, if the Zhongzhou team kills a certain number of monkeys."

"Maybe five thousand? Ten thousand?"

"That is, after the entire team obtains 50,000 reward points, or 100,000 reward points."

"As soon as we step into the forest, we will be attacked by a large army of power mechas from the future technology."

Having said this, Xiao Honglu paused and looked at everyone seriously.

"Of course, what I mean by this is not that I am against you taking risks."

“On the contrary, I strongly agree.”

"Because, this way, after we win again.

Our Zhongzhou team might be able to directly seize a batch of valuable future technology props."

“It’s far superior to the disposable tech gadgets in Pacific Rim.”

After Xiao Honglu finished speaking, Zhan Lan and Li Xiao were both stunned.

Chen Zilong said in confusion:

"So, you support my decision?"

Xiao Honglu nodded:
"Chu Xuan has said before that in the world of horror movies, side plots and bonus points are not the only rewards."

"If what I said can really be done by you, and you harvest a batch of future technology equipment, the value alone is not less than the mission reward."

Think of the scene described by Xiao Honglu.

The few people who didn't react swallowed their saliva.

Chen Zilong and Saito Ichi even began to imagine the scene of changing into a set of future-tech equipment and killing everyone in sight.

Only Zhan Lan and Li Xiao had a somewhat awkward expression on their faces.

In the end, Li Xiao, who was lying down, sighed and extinguished the fantasies of the three little ones in Zhongzhou.

He said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't even think about it, if it really comes to this."

"When we step into the forest, we may be greeted by monkeys wearing futuristic tech gadgets or intercontinental missiles loaded with nuclear warheads."

"If it's the second one."

"I'm afraid Yingkong can survive, but the rest..."

"Moreover, among the future technological props, spaceships, star destroyers, and continental oscillators are all included."

"I don't want to gamble on how high the moral integrity of the Lord God is."

"And there is one thing I haven't told you yet."

"That is, the monkeys have evolved not only weapons, but also wisdom..."

"wisdom?"

Chen Zilong and Zhu Wen murmured these two words and nodded secretly.

Even Zhao Yingkong was stunned when he heard Li Xiao's words.

After all, in the discussion just now, monkeys are just monkeys.

If wisdom could also evolve like weapons.

It is hard to say whether the existence they will face next is a monkey.

Zhu Wen looked at Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu, whose expressions did not change.

If you have something on your mind, just say it directly.

"You two knew this a long time ago?"

Xiao Honglu looked depressed, while Zhan Lan sighed.

Under the gaze of the rest of the Zhongzhou team, the writer said with a wry smile:
"It's simple. Have you ever seen monkeys in the zoo? Can they drive tanks?"

This simple question came up at the same time.

The air in the canyon was quiet for a moment.

The expressions of Chen Zilong, Saito Ichi, and Cheng Xiao all froze.

After a while, Xiao Honglu blew away the hair in his palm and continued:
"The use of firearms is not matched by the intelligence required to create them."

"In fact, there have been experiments in this area in the real world." "They teach primates to imitate and learn from humans, and then let them use guns."

"I won't go into the details of the experiment, as you guys don't like to hear it. I'll just tell you the results."

"The best chimpanzees can use single-shot and burst-fire firearms from World War I and World War II, with recoil not exceeding a certain amount."

“So after the first one, I wasn’t surprised.”

"And the last two times you experienced exceeded the reality."

"The size of the mountain monkey that Li Xiao just described is not even enough to withstand the shooting conditions of an anti-material sniper rifle."

"So, it's not just intelligence that's evolving, it should also be physical fitness."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Everyone opened their mouths wide.

"Of course, this aspect shouldn't be too exaggerated. In my estimation, it's just that the Lord God wants to make up for their fatal weakness of driving vehicles and using firearms."

"I will not become the extraordinary individual being you imagine."

"After all, if there really were a super monkey wearing his underwear outside, that would be too outrageous."

“So let’s get back to the point. The key is wisdom.”

"The intelligence required to aim an anti-material sniper rifle and drive a tactical tank vehicle is no less than that of some of the people present here."

"If they evolve again, their wisdom..."

"So if you don't want to take the risk, there is another very simple method."

Although Chen Zilong and Saito felt that Xiao Honglu was calling them stupid again.

But then I thought of those weird tanks that just drove out of the forest.

And now everyone's physical condition has calmed down.

Li Xiao: "Okay, these monkeys are too perverted. According to what they just said, I'm really afraid that these monkeys will drive Gundam to pick us up to see Anubis."

"So what's the easy way you two were talking about?"

“It should have been researched, right?”

"After all, it's already the third day, and there's not much time left until the seven-day limit given by the Lord God."

Xiao Honglu and Zhan Lan looked at each other and said at the same time:

"It's simple. This is a forest. A fire is enough."

Only then did the others react to the unique environment around them.

Li Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. Although it was a bit unexpected, everything finally got back on track.

"Burning forest? Are the burned monkeys ours? They should be, right?"

Looking at Cheng Xiao's question, Zhan Lan shook his head:

"According to Chu Xuan, threats equal rewards."

"You burned the monkey to death. Is that a threat?"

"Unless you throw a Molotov cocktail at him face to face, then the topic will be brought back."

"As you kill them, their weapons will become stronger again, ready for the next wave."

"Their weapons will become increasingly threatening to us."

"In short, the Lord God is only the implementer of rules and laws, and one of the current rules is that threats equal rewards."

"The Lord God is not a fool. Don't try to deceive Him. Although we are using tricks to enter the pyramid, this should be within the scope of the Lord God's permission."

"Otherwise, the fire outside should be out by now."

Everyone on the Zhongzhou team who were sitting in a circle nodded thoughtfully.

Only Zhan Lan was stunned after he finished speaking, then suddenly stood up and shouted:
"No, wait, the fire outside?"

After saying this, he turned his head and looked upwards.

It was at this time that Xiao Honglu, Li Xiao and others discovered it.

The forest high beyond the canyon.

Some of the flames were still burning after a day.

It was the flames generated by the previous series of explosions that began to spread.

It wasn't just Zhan Lan who stood up. Xiao Honglu and the others also reacted when they looked at the flames outside the canyon behind them.

Li Xiao looked at Jonathan in the distance with a puzzled look. Before they could ask, he quickly said:
"Don't look at me. You just said you had a meeting and asked us not to go over there."

"As for the fire, what I want to say is that Evelyn said this is a good thing, burning the monkey to death is killing two birds with one stone."

Jonathan said this with an expression that said, "It has nothing to do with me."

After seeing this scene, the Zhongzhou team had to give up any idea of ​​taking risks they still had.

After all, after a big fire, this area is probably left with only scorched earth.

But compared to the others who were waiting, Li Xiao felt inexplicably depressed.

Because he remembered it clearly.

In the original novel, Zheng Zha finally chose to burn the forest at the suggestion of Chu Xuan.

However, in order to achieve this goal, Zheng Zha spent dozens of days and a large amount of gold to buy dozens of tons of incendiary bombs from Europe.

Only then did he burn the entire forest to ashes in one breath, and then entered the next level painlessly.

And now.

Can fireball talismans, explosion talismans, and mines alone cause such a fire?
To be honest, Li Xiao was a little skeptical in his heart.

Just when Zhan Lan and his companions thought that they could successfully reach the pyramid and pass the forest guardian by waiting for a day or two.

The terrifyingly dense sound of gunfire suddenly rang out again in the fire.

There were dozens of tank gunshots alone.

With the addition of thermal weapons, the flames in the forest became more intense.

But the flames looked even more intense than before.

Whether it is the Zhongzhou team or O'Connor and his team.

They all felt a chill in their hearts.

Li Xiao looked into the depths of the forest and murmured:

"The Lord God created a world, not a mission."

"Otherwise, it would be enough to preserve the real world for us to rest and travel, rather than retaining the opportunity to enter other horror movies."

"The Lord God has been using this method to tell us the second rule."

“That is, He does not require us to follow His rules and treat horror films as a task.”

"His ultimate goal is evolution, forcing us to evolve. That means we should actively seek out the dangers in horror movies and resolve them to evolve ourselves."

"And the appearance of the monkey means that the Lord God has made this rule clear."

Listening to Li Xiao's words.

Chen Zilong was confused and asked loudly:

"So, what does it mean, should we go now or not?"

Zhan Lan answered loudly:

"It doesn't matter anymore. Now, we have to go, even if we don't want to!"

The roar of gunfire and the passing of flames.

The lush green forest completely turned black and gray.

The towering trees also turned black and bent down.

However, behind this fierce fire, the two groups of people fighting in the forest were clearly revealed.

On one side are gray monkeys wearing tactical vests, moving forward and backward in an orderly manner and holding various modern weapons.

On the other side are small mummies of undead creatures.

And everyone also knew why the fire was so big.

That is, these little mummies emit a high temperature that is high enough to distort the air.

Just walking past the trees brought up a cloud of black smoke.

It is obvious that these little mummies have been blessed by special magic. (End of this chapter)
