Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Chapter 666 The True Function of the Golden Mask

Zheng Zha looked at the brown-haired young man who was still immersed in the pleasure of evolution and said with a smile:

"Yes, how could a lowly creature like me possess such power just through the level of genes? So there is energy besides genes."

"And what I used just now was the power generated by the energy collision!"

"To be honest, before I saw you now, I didn't think that any creature could reach this level just by physical evolution."

"Now it seems that I am sitting in a well and looking at the world."

"I didn't expect that such a thing actually existed, and appeared in front of me."

Zheng Zha said this with a miserable laugh that had an inexplicable meaning.

"Do you know the law of conservation of energy?"

This time, he didn't wait for the brown-haired young man to answer.

Zheng Zha continued.

"You should know this, after all, you have assimilated and infected so many humans."

"We have discovered before that your evolution is completely based on instinct at the cellular level. This ability is not affected or controlled by your will."

"That is to say, your body is your body and you are you, and the two are not the same."

"It is your body that is responsible for evolution, the cells in your mouth or the gene chain, the origin of life."

"Even the golden mask on your face is possible."

"Whatever the reaction is, it's not your consciousness."

"To be honest, if your consciousness really assimilated tens of thousands of humans, with such a base number, your spirit would have undergone a qualitative change, or even sublimated."

"Not to mention awakening telekinesis, even the most basic mental power should be able to be used freely."

“And the fact is, that’s not the case now.”

"What you think you are is just a consciousness dependent on your body."

"So ultimately it's your body that's deceiving you, or blocking a problem that you should be able to detect."

"A simple question."

Looking at the brown-haired young man who was still confused, Zheng Zha's smile grew bigger and bigger:

"That is, you can't reverse your own evolution..."

"So I'm very curious, after you have the physical fitness you have now, what do you consume?"

"Energy within cells?"

"physical strength?"

"Mental strength?"

"then what?"

"Forget it, no matter what it is, it seems that you don't have time to think about it now. So, goodbye!"

The brown-haired young man didn't understand what Zheng Zha meant when he heard his last words.

Then I felt something wrong with my lower body and looked down.

Only then did he realize that the flesh on his feet had begun to melt since he had no idea when.

After melting, it begins to decompose, and the process becomes faster and faster.

From the legs, to the waist, to the chest, finally the neck, and then the head.

Just one or two breaths.

Zheng Zha's words haven't even landed yet.

This once invincible being has now become a rotten, melted skeleton.

All the flesh and blood in the body melted and disappeared.

And on this only remaining bone frame.

A mask glowing with golden light appeared on top of the skull as the flesh and blood disappeared.

The brown-haired young man at this time may not be completely dead yet.

With strong vitality, the blood vessels on the bones kept beating, pushing the skeleton arm towards Zheng Zha.

It seems like he is asking for help, but also seems like he is unwilling to give up.

Of course, in the eyes of Zheng Zha, Li Xiao and others, this person is more daring to believe.

I can't believe that this advanced life form of mine actually has such a ridiculous shortcoming.

At this moment, the brown-haired young man had a lot to say.

But that’s all.

When the flesh and blood disappeared, the skeleton stopped moving and began to wither and shrink in front of Zheng Zha.

You have to know that the brown-haired young man is not small in size due to evolution. Even without flesh and blood, his skeleton is very strong.

But now the remaining bones have shrunk into a hunched body.

It was as if this was not the strong, brown-haired young man before, but a hunchbacked old man who was about to die.

In the end, even the bones were completely shattered and turned into sand.

Along with a gust of the unique night breeze, it disappeared on the spot.

There was a snap.

The golden mask with a missing corner fell to the ground.

Saw this scene.

Zheng Zha finally felt relieved. He closed his eyes, and fell face down with all his strength gone.

Just at this moment, a beautiful figure fell from the sky.

Caught this figure at the critical moment.

Zhan Lan looked at Zheng Zha who fell into his arms, and stuffed the purse on his waist deep into Zheng Zha's arms...

[Kill the advanced life form Steve, and get a B-level branch story, 5000 reward points. ]

[Complete the side story mission, Golden Mask. The rest of the Zhongzhou team will receive a D-level side story, 2000 reward points.]

No need to wait for Chu Xuan's notification.

The reminder from the Lord God in the mind is the best communication signal.

The people who were originally running out began to turn around one by one.

Compared to here.

The other side was completely dead along with the brown-haired young man.

Zhao Yingkong picked up Li Xiao, who had little flesh left on his body.

Following Zhan Lan's mental instructions, he immediately flew towards the direction where Cheng Xiao was.

A day and a half later.

Small town hospital.

Li Xiao lying on the hospital bed stared with wide eyes.

The baby Cheng Xiao next to him took out a comb and combed his colorful hair.

"Ahem, why are you looking at me?"

"I used the Flame of Life and acupuncture to stimulate your vitality in your upper body and it has recovered. As for your lower body, the injury is too serious."

"But don't worry, I may not be good at treating you, but I am serious about relieving your pain."

"The operation just now was very successful."

"I have removed all the thousands of nerve endings related to your lower body's nerve perception. You will definitely not feel any pain in the next two days."

Li Xiao nodded with an expression that showed he understood.

He said without any emotion:
"So, you didn't treat me at all?"

"Just gave me some pain relief?"

Cheng Xiao nodded as he deserved:
"Of course not. I have restored all the holes in your upper body. As for your lower body, it will be fine in two days when you return to the main divine space."

"Why waste the flame of life? Besides, don't we have Moss's nano-mech?"

"Come on, that's enough, move a little."

Li Xiao looked at his lower body filled with nanomachines and sat up helplessly.

After some activities, I felt relieved that at least my daily life was fine, so I looked to the side.

Because lying next to him was the sleeping Eric.

Chu Xuan took back the instrument that Moss had extended, and then said to O'Connor and Evelyn who were beside the bed:
"Don't worry. The brown-haired young man has reached a state of destruction. It only takes a few seconds for the energy in his cells to be consumed at this extremely terrifying rate." "Although there are still some of these withered cells left, Eric is still young and has enough time to excrete them."

"Of course, there is a faster way, but the process may be a little painful."

Hearing this, Evelin asked curiously:

"Can I ask what the method is?"

Hearing this, Chu Xuan turned around and looked at Eric's parents seriously.

He took out a surgical box and said.

"The brown-haired young man's cell remains are near Eric's heart and brain."

"Although the location is special, for me, I only need to perform a simple surgical operation to dig it out, and then let Cheng Xiao use the Flame of Life to stimulate recovery."

“It can be completely eliminated in half a day.”

"And believe me, there are no hidden dangers in this operation."

After saying that, Chu Xuan opened the operating box, and a series of various scalpels were revealed.

Upon hearing this rough treatment plan, the two parents looked at each other.

"Well, Chu Xuan, we still think the conservative plan is better."

After the two of them finished speaking, they saw Cheng Xiao put away the golden needle that was soaked in anesthetic with a look of regret on his face.

Chu Xuan also shook his head regretfully.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao's mouth twitched helplessly.

You two, do you want to treat Eric or do an autopsy on him?

That's when.

Zheng Zha opened the door and walked in with Zhan Lan, with a look of joy on his face.

His eyes first turned to Li Xiao who was doing squats.

Seeing this person moving freely, Zheng Zha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiao also saw Zheng Zha, whose hands had fully recovered, and couldn't help but envy him for a moment.

I can only say that he is worthy of his vampire bloodline. With Cheng Xiao's assistance, his recovery ability is very fast.

What Li Xiao didn’t know was that just yesterday, Cheng Xiao was still being disliked.

Because when this person used the flame of life to help Zheng Zha regenerate his severed limbs, he was actually despised by the Zhongzhou team.

The reason is very simple, that is, the speed is too slow.

In Saito Hajime's words, it's like a turtle crawling.

First the bones, then the blood vessels, then the muscles and skin, and then the entire palm grew out.

Compared with the recovery ability displayed by the brown-haired young man before, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

Zheng Zha was dazed for a moment, his reason told him that this was not slow, after all, the Zhongzhou team did not have this ability before.

However, he subconsciously felt disgusted for a moment. After all, the brown-haired young man's recovery ability was too abnormal during their previous fight.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

Then came the resentful treatment given by the team doctor Cheng Xiao.

Zheng Zha looked at Eric who was beside Li Xiao.

"You're still awake? By the way, Evelyn, is Eric okay?"

"It's really not easy for this kid to be your son."

"But, I think he will become a great explorer or archaeologist when he grows up. He will definitely be better than you and O'Connell, hahahaha..."

Evelin's eyes had already turned red when she heard Zheng Zha's joke and looked at her unconscious son.

But now there was a long-lost smile on his face.

"It's okay. Cheng Xiao and Chu Xuan have just told me that there are basically no major side effects."

"The cells that were implanted into the body have also been found and have died."

"No matter what, it's all over. Thanks to you, Eric, I wasn't infected. Zheng Zha, and all of you, thank you..."

After saying that, Evelyn and O'Connor stood up and bowed seriously.

Zhan Lan held his forehead and smiled:

"If you really want to thank us, then take us to see the ruins later."

"Everyone should have recovered by now."

"We have been looking forward to seeing the remains of the ancient Mayan civilization for a long time."

Hearing this request, Evelin and her husband nodded repeatedly.

After looking at his son, the archaeologist's expression changed. He clenched his fist and said:

"Yes, the last time I went there, the situation did not allow it. This time I must take a good look."

"I think there must be a lot of things in here that have not been discovered yet!"

As he said this, he nodded to himself.

"Yes, it seems that the archaeological team did not go to other rooms at that time. I feel that there must be other important discoveries."

Look at the archaeological soul burning again.

Li Xiao and Zheng Zha didn't know whether to be happy or sad for the childhood of the little boy Eric.

But the final result is good.

Zheng Zha thought of something and looked around, only to find out what he had just forgotten:
"By the way, where's Shion?"

"Is she back yet?"

Zhan Lan pointed to another room:
"She came back and said that she didn't know why the soul lamp stopped responding."

"Chu Xuan and Zi Yuan are inside. They seem to be studying the mask."

After comforting Evelin again.

Zheng Zha and others also left the ward to the family of three.

Tian Buyao, after thanking everyone from the Zhongzhou team, the male and female protagonists hugged each other again with emotion.

As I held them together, I had the illusion that passion was burning the years again.

For some reason, these two people's mouths stuck together again.

The two women, Zhan Lan and Li Ru, felt ashamed and quickly led everyone to move to another location.

Otherwise, you'll have to watch a live reality show.

[Obtain the Mummy World plot item: Evolution Mask. ]

[Evolution Mask: After a reincarnator unlocks the fourth gene lock, wearing this mask will give him a chance to experience the fifth stage gene lock.]

[Note: Anyone who does not have a fourth-order gene lock or above will have their genes go out of control if they wear this mask.]

【Note: Unlimited use.】

"This, this is the effect of repairing the golden mask?"

“This is too much!!!”

After Zheng Zha opened his eyes and felt the information in his mind, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After passing the repaired masks over one by one.

Everyone in the Zhongzhou team fell silent.

Li Xiao also sighed.

Should we say that this plot prop is powerful?

Or should we say that this effect is useless?

And the most important thing is that the brown-haired young man they had fought to the death with was actually a failure from beginning to end.

And compared to the others who were sighing at the masks in their hands.
