Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"So I haven't tried fishing yet. I think it's an inefficient and primitive way to get food."

“So I never had the opportunity to practice.”

Chu Xuan said as he pushed up his glasses that reflected the sunlight:

"And Zheng Zha, the third posture you just taught me, the book says that when the fish bites the hook... then you should do this... do this with both hands at the same time..."

Seeing Teacher Chu coming online, Saito Yi and Chen Zilong both chanted "Amitabha" in their hearts.

There's nothing else to say, it's just that this guy is too talkative.

Zheng Zha obviously didn't know that he had already aroused another side of Colonel Chu Xuan.

Just when Zheng Zha realized that something was wrong, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly moved.

He immediately interrupted Chu Xuan's teaching and shouted, "Hahaha, come on, Chu Xuan, let me tell you that theoretical knowledge is not equal to practice. Let me show you my ability as the little prince of fishing..."

Before he uttered the last word, Zheng Zha saw that what emerged from the end of his fishing rod was actually green water plants.

Instead, Chu Xuan next to him shook his hands and gently threw them upwards, and a large, dark blue crucian carp was thrown to the shore.

Seeing the creature jumping around and struggling on land, Saito Ichi, who was closest to it, rushed over.

Holding the tail, he looked around:

"Good fellow, Chu Xuan, you are really good. You caught a crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms on your first try."

"It looks like I'll have oral medicine tonight."

Xiao Honglu said:

"Can you catch one with fewer bones? I heard crucian carp have a lot of bones."

Chu Xuan's expression was indifferent, as if it wasn't something he had caught.

He just released the hook, wrapped it with bait, and threw it out again.

Zheng Zha's mouth twitched:
"I haven't finished yet. The reason why I am called the little prince of fishing is that I am never the first one to catch a fish."

"And Xiao Honglu, there are many kinds of fish here, and fishing is all random, so how can you say what you will catch..."

Having the same experience, Zheng Zha still didn't say the last word.

Chu Xuan simply threw the fishing hook out and watched it fall into the water.

Without any signs or pauses, the moment the bait entered the water, the fishing line moved.

Chu Xuan skillfully pulled the fishing rod back, and the transparent fishing line instantly jumped straight.

With a flick of his hands, a tilapia that was bigger than the crucian carp just now landed accurately in Saito Hajime's arms.

"Hahaha, Chu Xuan is really amazing. Tilapia is famous for not having small bones. Xiao Honglu, you can eat this later."

"This one weighs more than three pounds, enough to eat."

Saito just finished speaking.

Chen Zilong and Li Xiao, who were watching the whole process, burst out laughing at the same time.

But when Zheng Zha looked over, the two of them instantly returned to normal.

This time, Zheng Zha opened his mouth, and with the lesson learned from the slap in the face just now, his voice was a little lower, but he still said to them:

"I'm not bragging about my fishing skills, I really have some skills. Although I don't catch the most fish, nor am I the first, I usually catch some amazing large fish..."

Again, he didn't finish.

Because Chu Xuan pulled again, as if he felt something, he actually unlocked the genetic lock in his body.

The muscles in his hands were tense, and it was obvious that he was quite strong.

Then pull upwards with force.

A giant black catfish as big as a man with tentacles jumped out of the water.

Chen Zilong who was standing nearby did not just watch the fun when he saw this scene. The Sui Xin iron soldier next to him directly turned into a huge fishing net, and together with Saito, they pressed the overlord-like giant catfish to the ground.

Zheng Zha raised his eyes, looked at the two-meter-long catfish on the ground, and then looked at the river in front of him which was only six or seven meters wide.

I felt completely unwell.

Said in a low voice:

"How can a fish over two meters long appear in a river six meters wide?"

"Besides, that's impossible. I didn't release fish this big when I released the fish."

Chu Xuan took the fishhook out of the large catfish's mouth and looked at Zheng Zha:
"What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."

"Nothing... nothing... let's keep fishing!"

Hearing Chu Xuan's question, Zheng Zha felt unwell.

Because looking back now, although I don't want to admit it, it seems that I have lost miserably.

At this moment, a burst of laughter that could not be suppressed was heard from not far away.

The women, led by Zhan Lan and Loli, were all laughing loudly.

Only then did Zheng Zha realize what went wrong.

He just dropped the fishing rod and rushed out.

"You are so good, Zhan Lan. I told you there was a problem..."

After a while of joking, Zhan Lan only admitted to creating some large fish, but did not admit to using his mind power to hang the fish on Chu Xuan's hook.

In other words, the fishing skills of the newcomer Chu Xuan have far surpassed Zheng Zha.

And everyone returned to normal fishing.

As time goes by,

Chu Xuan is the well-deserved first place, and the second place is not Zheng Zha, but Li Xiao.

Until the sun set, Zheng Zha had caught several small crucian carp and carp, firmly occupying the precious third place.

Saved the precious title of the Little Prince of Fishing.

However, Chu Xuan caught too many fish, and the fish became bigger and bigger at the end. In line with the principle of not wasting food, everyone deprived Chu Xuan of the right to fish because they really couldn't eat any more.

After all, each one was more than two meters long, and Chu Xuan caught one after another, which was really abnormal.

Although he was deprived of the right to fish, Zheng Zha could see that he seemed to be a little unsatisfied.

"To be honest, if Chu Xuan were to fish it out, I'd be really afraid that this guy would catch the saltwater fish."

"If there's a shark or something, that would be really outrageous."

"Shark? I thought you were going to say whale... But I feel like this is just the aura of a novice. Wait until next time. Chu Xuan's luck won't be so good next time..."

Zheng Zha also followed Li Xiao's words in the same low voice.

After saying that, Zheng Zha looked at the full fishing bucket next to Li Xiao and then he remembered that this person seemed to be a newcomer as well.

Unable to resist the curiosity, Zheng Zha secretly asked:
"You two really didn't cheat?"

Li Xiao looked around and whispered in a sneaky manner:

"I don't know whether Chu Xuan cheated or not, but I did cheat."

Zheng Zha's eyes lit up and his voice became even quieter: "Tell me quickly!!"

Li Xiao took it out from his arms and handed it to Zheng Zha: "Super fishing bait, produced by the Lord God, quality guaranteed, five reward points per box."

"The explanation is that they like to eat all kinds of fish."

Zheng Zha unscrewed the box, and sure enough, an enticing fragrance came out.

Smelling the strange aroma, Zheng Zha's stomach growled for no reason.

Zheng Zha looked at the colloidal substance in the box that looked like white condensed milk, and was completely puzzled.

Then he raised his head and looked at Li Xiao beside him with wide eyes in disbelief.

No, I'm playing with your feelings, and you're playing with technology and hard work with me?
Is this the most basic trust between people?

You don't have bonus points to strengthen, but you have bonus points to cheat? Zheng Zha felt that his team seemed to have changed and was no longer as simple as before.

In front is Zhan Lan who cheated with mental power, and in the back is Li Xiao who cheated with props.

Is it so difficult to simply catch a fish?
Zheng Zha took a deep breath, closed the lid, and said righteously:

"It's not good for us friends to use this kind of fishing gear. As the captain, I will confiscate this!"

After saying that, Zheng Zha turned around and walked to Chu Xuan's side. Seeing him packing up his fishing gear, he asked curiously:
"How about it, Chu Xuan? Fishing is an interesting thing, right? Hahaha, we can go fishing together when we are tired in the future. Next time, I will definitely surpass you next time."

"Is it interesting? I don't know?"

Chu Xuan said without turning his head.

"I don't know. What's there to not know about fishing?" Zheng Zha asked with a strange look on his face.

"I mean I don't know if I'll catch a fish in the next second, what kind of fish it will be, whether it will be big or small, and I still don't know why it's so easy for me to fish."

"I have heard the story of Jiang Taigong before, and I have always been puzzled. But today I think I understand a little bit."

“It’s because of the unknown that I want to keep fishing…

Well, you are right...

Fishing is good! ”

Chu Xuan concluded calmly.

Hearing his thoughts being acknowledged by this person, Zheng Zha couldn't help but feel relieved. He lit a cigarette with a little relief and then took a deep breath.

Then he patted the man's shoulder seriously.

He said seriously: "Chu Xuan, this is how the world is."

"Besides fishing, there are many other things worth doing and experiencing."

"You can't feel the truth just by listening, watching, or describing it in words."

“Even though you experience these things, you may not feel the existence of certain things.”

"But that's just because you can't feel it now. And it doesn't mean that those things don't exist."

"I believe that when you completely unlock the fourth-order gene lock and have emotions, these things will bring you unimaginable fun and joy."

“And I hope that you don’t give up now just because you can’t feel it… because you can still find many things that make you feel interesting.”

"This is also a past worth remembering, isn't it?"

"Hahaha. How about we continue tomorrow? Let's go to a different sea and go sea fishing tomorrow?"

Chu Xuan didn't even raise his head. After a moment of silence, he said:

"The process of resurrection. Did you see my memories?"

"So you're worried that I'll seek death like in The Grudge?"

"is it?"

The three questions Chu Xuan asked after his silence made Zheng Zha pause.

Then I heard Chu Xuan continue to clean up while asking:

"In The Grudge, what did you see in my memory five minutes before my death?"

Zheng Zha came to his senses and even forgot about smoking.

He shook his head: "No, the memory I saw was not complete. If it was complete, my brain would not be able to accept it."

"It jumps in sections, as if only I, who you consider important, can see it."

"There is no such time as you mentioned."

"So it shouldn't be anything important."

Chu Xuan nodded and started to wind up the fishing line in his hand.

At this time, Zheng Zha was not curious about Chu Xuan's question, but asked back:

"Chu Xuan, I have seen your experience and know what you were thinking during the Grudge."

Zheng Zha said this and put the half-retracted fishing rod down again.

This time he didn't throw it very far but placed it at the water's edge where he could see it at his feet.

"So I just have a question."

"Do you want me to revive you?"

"Or do you still want to enter the main god space and live in this world filled with infinite horror?"

Seeing Zheng Zha's confused look, Chu Xuan raised his head again and looked directly at Zheng Zha.

"Why do you think so?"

Zheng Zha smiled bitterly and told the story of the last newcomer.

"He begged us seniors not to revive him."

"He said he was tired."

"What I don't understand is that, through Zhu Wen's narration, I feel that this man from eastern Sichuan is not someone who is determined to die together."

"Because when playing against the Japanese team, if he wanted to die, he actually had many opportunities."

"What he did and how hard he tried were what a normal person who wanted to survive should behave like."

"But the paradox is this sentence at the end, in the explosion."

"I'm even wondering if it was the work of the senior member of the Japanese team, hypnosis or mind control?"

As he spoke, Zheng Zha felt the fishing line in his hand suddenly move.

With just a casual pull, a Qingjiang fish weighing three or four pounds was pulled out.

Zheng Zha looked at the biggest fish he had ever caught today, and the expression on his face was even more strange.

After letting the fish go, Zheng Zha put it back.

Because that's enough for dinner tonight.

"None of us actually know the two newcomers in the upper part."

"There is no time to spend together, and there is no excessive contact."

"Because it's only a short twelve hours from beginning to end."

"But even so, it left me with a difficult problem."

"In fact, Zhang Heng could have resurrected his lover a long time ago."

“It’s not just Ming Yanwei. According to the rules of the Sun Golden Sutra, the reincarnations can be resurrected.

"Li Xiaoyi and Overlord in Alien."

"Li Hanshan in Pacific Rim."

"As newcomers without any enhancements, they can actually be resurrected for free, but..."

Zheng Zha looked at the cigarette that had burned out between his fingers and stopped muttering like a nagging woman.

Chu Xuan put the fishing gear into different categories and stood up.

He pushed the frame on his nose and said calmly:

"do not know."

"Because all your questions are not problems for me, so I can only say I don't know."

"I don't know if I want to live, and I don't have enough conditions to infer other people's thoughts."

"I just have one question."

"Zheng Zha, in the next horror movie, are you sure you can survive?"

"If not, then the question you just thought of is redundant in my opinion..." (End of this chapter)
