Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Zhan Lan stretched out his arms and said with a smile:
"No, coffee with sugar is just like milk tea."

"This is the bitter taste I want to drink now."

"Besides, I only made these two cups, which isn't much, so it doesn't matter if it's a little bitter."

"Anyway, I'll finish it in a while."

"So, Captain, what were you thinking about just now besides the next horror movie?"

Zheng Zha looked at Zhan Lan's inexplicably cute behavior, and how could he not know that the other party wanted him to relax a little.

He smiled and said:

"Nothing special."

"It's just that from the beginning, I felt very calm and peaceful in my heart."

"do you know?
Every time I come back from the brink of death after watching a horror movie, my heart is always tense.”

“Both physically and mentally, they became increasingly entangled.

It seems that if something happens again, this thread will be completely broken."

As he spoke, Zheng Zha's mood couldn't help but become gloomy.

“The most important thing is… fear.

Yes, it is fear...

I could clearly feel that I had these emotions that only the weak have.”

"I clearly know that this is wrong. I will never be able to unlock the fourth-order gene lock this way."

"It even prevents me from becoming stronger."

“But I can’t help it.”

"I don't know why, but I always see a picture before the break this time."

Zhan Lan said softly:
"What picture?"

Zheng Zha murmured in a low voice:

“A picture where only I am left.”

"In this scene, you all die one by one, and the Zhongzhou team is finally wiped out."

"I died too, but I don't know why I didn't die."

"Later I realized that this must have been a dream, an incredible dream."

“I don’t know when it started.

What I fear most is that all of you will die...

I am the only one left..."

Zhan Lan felt a pain in her heart subconsciously as she looked at the man in front of her who was gradually lowering his head.

But she didn't show it.

Instead, he smiled and said:

"It's just death. I've experienced it once before. It's not scary."

“Whether you are weak or strong, sometimes cowardice can bring out more power than bravery.”

“You have to know that fear is human instinct, and bravery is the praise of mankind.”

As he said this, Zhan Lan smiled and stretched out the little finger of his right hand, making a pinky promise.

"And Zheng Zha, I promise you, I will never die."

"At least I won't die before you. I can make a promise with you."

(Because only if I live, I can die for you!)
(As long as I die, you may not have to worry about it anymore.)
Zheng Zha looked up at the girl who was bending over and stretching out her arms and was stunned.

Then, with a serious expression, he stretched out his little fingers and hooked them together.

"Hang yourself with a hook and don't change for a hundred years!"

"Finally, stamp it. OK!"

Zhan Lan supported his upper body with his hands and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

She looked at Zheng Zha's serious expression, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, so she actually sat forward a little.

It brought the two of them closer together.

Maybe it's the lighting.

Or maybe some other messy factors.

At this moment, Zheng Zha suddenly felt a flash of milky white light in front of him.

His thoughts were interrupted again, and he subconsciously looked down.

After his eyes got used to the milky white light, Zheng Zha realized that his line of sight and posture seemed a little indecent.

After pulling out the wide-open eyes from some bottomless place.

Zheng Zha coughed awkwardly and said:

"But fortunately, I had a rare rest this time, and I feel much better now."

"Especially the massage you just gave me, thank you. Oh, by the way, where did they go?"

"Why are there only two of us left?"

Zhan Lan smiled and pointed his index finger at his temple.

Then he closed his eyes.

After perhaps three or four seconds, he smiled and said:

"Xiao Honglu is hiding in a tree canopy and reading a book. No, it should be a novel about cultivating immortals. The name of the book is Xian... Uh, I can't make out the last few words clearly."

"Chen Zilong and Zhu Wen..."

As he spoke, Zhan Lan's face suddenly turned red.

Zheng Zha was curious: "What happened to them?"

"Yeah, it's ok, they are practicing. Chen Zilong is indeed a martial arts genius, he really works hard."

"Chu Xuan was polishing something in the middle of a machine."

"Hey, that's strange, Li Xiao and the other four are nowhere to be seen."

"Lolita, Cheng Xiao and the others are still diving. Didn't someone give them the respirators to play with?"

“Isn’t this a reserve of supplies?”

As Zhan Lan spoke, he opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Zha, and both of them laughed.

Zheng Zha said:

"It's okay. Anyway, there is still a chance to return to the real world. I can replenish it then."

“Also, we consumed a lot of mechanical dogs and thermal weapons ammunition.

I will be able to supplement it later when I go to the Pacific Rim world and the real world.

I heard from Chu Xuan that the last time he and Li Ru went back, they had already taken control of the unmanned manufacturing factory in the Pacific Rim.

We can produce weapons and some technological equipment in large quantities, and now we have the world inside the Demon Refining Pot, as well as the nanotechnology that was developed not long ago."

"I think some of the auxiliary equipment in the future should also be updated again..."

Zheng Zha thought he had successfully changed the subject.

Before he could finish his words, the figure on the opposite side, who was already very close, suddenly thought of something.

He actually opened his arms and hugged me.

The whole warm body was pulled into his arms.

Wait for Zheng Zha to come back to his senses again.

Just as I lowered my head, I saw a pretty face as rosy as jade looking up at me.

Zheng Zha himself didn't know what was wrong with him.

I actually lowered my head and printed it subconsciously.

A second before this.

At that moment, Zheng Zha felt that he was split into two beings.

(The devil is saying:
People have done so much, it would be too much if you don't give an explanation.

Give me a kiss!
Angel: No, Zheng Zha, you already have a loli.

You obviously know that Zhan Lan likes you, so if you kiss her wouldn't you be a scumbag?
In ancient times, there was Liu Xiahui who could remain calm even when a woman's arms were on his chest. You should do the same today!

It’s just a pity that the devil didn’t have a chance to argue with the angel.

Without waiting to think, he controlled Zheng Zha's body and reacted instinctively.

There was a flash of softness between the lips and teeth.

When I came to my senses again.

Zheng Zha didn't know what had happened.

Zhan Lan was still sitting opposite.

I am still in the same posture as before.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

But Zheng Zha subconsciously pinched the air with his right hand.

There's no way, some things can't be forgotten.

For example, Zheng Zha's hands just now were like on automatic navigation.

Fortunately, both of them stopped.

Zhan Lan was lying on a beach chair, looking at the sky.

Watch the migratory birds fly away and watch the sun shift.

The two remained silent for a long time.

The writer seemed to have regained his composure before speaking again:
"By the way, are you guys going to go fishing later? My little fishing prince? Hahaha..."

Seeing the cheerful smile of the girl opposite, Zheng Zha, who was sitting on the beach chair, waved his hands in shame. Then he spoke righteously without mentioning fishing at all.

Changing the subject again:
"I feel fine even if I just sit here. Zhan Lan, do you think I'm being silly?"

Zhan Lan blinked playfully and did not expose Zheng Zha's thoughts.

After all, the team has already reached a tacit understanding on fishing.

For men, face is sometimes more important than life.

And I didn't seem to know what happened just now.

Why are you so impulsive?

But this seems to be pretty good.

Zhan Lan's face turned red again when Zheng Zha couldn't see her.
Seeing Zheng Zha talking about something else, the little girl came back to her senses and suddenly said with a smile:

"In that case, then you can chat with me."

"Um………

Let’s talk about what happens after I die.

Although you have said a lot before, I would like to hear more about what you have been through. "

"What did you do after I died in The Matrix?"

"And how did you get to Hamunatta afterwards? How did you revive Chu Xuan? How did you revive me?"

"What does the resurrection ceremony look like?"

“Is it magical, or spectacular, or incredible?

Honestly, I’m still curious.”

Zhan Lan seemed to be getting excited as he spoke.

She stood up again, and the beach chair under her moved closer and closer to Zheng Zha.

Until they were face to face, because the distance was too close, their legs inevitably touched each other.

The bright girl just smiled foolishly.

Then, the pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak looked straight at the person in front of him.

That focused gaze hid the answers to all its questions.

Anticipation, or perhaps expectation.

I hope Zheng Zha’s next words will include some words that he knows very well.

This look that implied countless meanings also made Zheng Zha's heart tremble.

Even his heart, which was originally under complete control due to his vampire bloodline, began to beat randomly without him noticing.

"Ah, The Matrix!"

"It was so close, but it felt like a long time had passed."

"I can say that it was all thanks to you at that time."

"you……"

Zheng Zha was stunned when he said this.

Because he suddenly recalled the scene at that time.

After Xiao Honglu, Chen Zilong and Zhang Heng disappeared.

Zhan Lan once again used his mental energy to successfully simulate the blood flame.

Become one with yourself and seek a glimmer of hope.

It was at that moment that Zhan Lan confessed to him for the first time.

"What are you thinking about?"

"So absent-minded?"

The whisper in the ear brought Zheng Zha back to the present.

"Thinking about you..."

"Well, it's you guys. Thanks to your help, I was able to pass the test set by Zhang Jie."

"In the end, Zhang Jie did not disappear, and I successfully inherited the position of captain. Because of this reason, the horror movie ended directly."

"It's a good ending anyway."

"After that, we returned to the main divine space. That was when I was sure that you were really dead."

"Fortunately, I already knew how to revive my teammates. Although this reality is hard to accept, I didn't give up."

"otherwise………"

Zhan Lan smiled sweetly and possessed him again, and the two of them were closer.

"Otherwise what?"

At this moment, Zheng Zha could even feel the airflow under Zhan Lan's nostrils.

"No, it's nothing."

"After The Matrix, there were only six of us left on the team."

“This is also the time when the number of people in the team is the smallest.”

"Chu Xuan, Saito Yi, Lingdian, you, and Zhang Jie have all left us."

"That was the first time I felt despair. It seemed that no matter how strong I was, my teammates would always die one after another."

"Fortunately, we still have Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong. They are both strong enough."

Zheng Zha finished speaking in one breath, took a deep breath and smiled:
"But it's all over. My teammates are resurrected one by one. I believe we will all become stronger and survive."

"Even if it's me, Li Xiao, or someone else who dies later, I will still believe it."

"We will surely be resurrected one day, and then we will see you become even more powerful."

"As for resurrection?"

"It's really amazing. By the way, Zhan Lan, if I die, I hope you can revive me."

"You can take a look then."

"What are you looking at?"

“Look at my life!”

Zhan Lan is confused:

"A lifetime? The process of resurrection?"

Zheng Zha nodded:

"Yes, that's understandable."

"However, I hope that you can revive me if you can protect yourselves."

"May I?"

Before Zheng Zha finished speaking, as the question came out, two clear tears flowed out from Zhan Lan's smiling face.

I just cried softly, and I was laughing while crying.

"...Okay...I promise you."

"If you die, I will definitely resurrect you."

"But I don't want you to say such discouraging words."

"Also, don't forget our agreement!"

"Once you die, I can easily surpass you."

"By the time………"

As Zhan Lan spoke, he actually started laughing foolishly.

However, Zhan Lan buried his head while smiling.

His whole body fell on his legs.

With trembling shoulders, he whispered:
"Despite this, Zheng Zha, I hope you won't have such a day."

"Actually, I just lied to you."

"You know... dying is really not pleasant..."

"It's so scary. I'm afraid that I will never see you again. I'm afraid that I will never hear your voice again. I'm afraid that I will never be able to connect my consciousness to your spirit again. I'm afraid that I will never be able to tell you what's in my heart again..."

"I'm really... so scared..."

It was the first time Zheng Zha saw the girl like this in front of him.

Not so strong, nor so weak.

Zhan Lan was still saying something.

But at this moment, Zheng Zha actually stood up and hugged the crying and trembling girl in his arms.

Zhan Lan didn't know if he was in a trance.

Because the moment she looked up when she was picked up, her lips seemed to be kissed hard by someone.

It was this moment that made Zhan Lan, a psychic, completely unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

But Zheng Zha did not give Zhan Lan a chance to react when a pair of wings of flesh and blood grew out from under his skin.

He simply hugged the other person horizontally, and the blood clan's energy exploded with a whistling sound.

It actually flew straight into the sky.

When the entangled man and woman disappeared from sight.

The four people hiding in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Heng also quietly put away the Twelve Prison Love Array, and it can be said that he kept his merits and fame hidden.

Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong smiled at each other, turned around and planned to retreat.

It was at this time that the two saw Saito Hajime at the back writing and drawing. (End of this chapter)
