Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

So when the thunder, dense as liquid, flowed around her.

The endless pain that could not be expressed in words directly passed through the genetic lock and reached Li Ru's nerves.

If it were a normal situation, Li Ru would have probably fainted from shock because she couldn't bear it.

But at this moment, because of her powerful repair ability, Li Ru was not unconscious, but was extremely awake.

At this moment, Li Ru regretted it.

Because compared to such long pain that seems to last a century, death does not seem unacceptable.

"what!!!"

"what!!!!"

(It hurts. It hurts so much!)

(Why is it so painful...)
You know, Li Ru has undergone two body reconstructions, and she has endured the pain of skinning and bone removal twice with her whole body and soul.

You can imagine how extreme the pain is now.

The head with its brain exposed like a reptile even broke its vocal cords and could only make a muffled humming sound.

The pain of flesh and blood being destroyed.

The pain of genetic recombination.

The pain of recovering from an injury.

The pain of being struck by thunder.

These existences are mixed with waiting for death without any hope.

This is no longer something that can be expressed in words.

But that's about it.

"Oh!"

A loud gunshot rang out from the sky, and the vibration of the air was transmitted into the dark nest underground.

(Too late, too late!)
(It would be great if it was earlier, just ten minutes earlier, then I could survive, but now…)
When Li Ru regained consciousness in the darkness, her first thought was that she was not dead.

The second thought was that even if I wasn’t dead now, I would be dead soon!

Because with the help of the gene lock, Li Ru had already felt it.

This body has reached its limit now.

It's like flesh and blood can't appear out of thin air.

The recovery ability has always consumed the cellular energy deep in the genes, in other words, physical life, or lifespan.

(Wait, gene lock? Am I still in gene lock?)

(It has been more than ten minutes since the injection of the drug to unlock the gene lock, which is far longer than the record Chu Xuan told me.)
(Also, I can feel that I seem to be able to maintain the gene lock state all the time. Is this the normal unlocking mentioned by Chu Xuan?)

(He actually succeeded in doing that to me.)
A rustling sound sounded.

Li Ru stopped daydreaming.

The half body that was slumped in the corner struggled to move and looked over.

It turned out that there were too many drone aliens.

Even though there was an exaggerated scene like thousands of thunders descending on the earth just now.

But after being weakened one after another, some lucky ones still survived.

These lucky ones are now shaking their heads and standing up one by one.

Looked at Li Ru in the corner.

(Chu Xuan once said that the things that the reincarnators go through are the difficulties and dangers that the Lord God believes you can endure and have a slight chance of surviving!)
(Now it seems that the Lord God thinks too highly of me.)
(Goodbye everyone…)
Muttering to herself, Li Ru said her final farewell.

The darkness in her sight suddenly brightened, and the majestic alien in front of her turned into a scene she was familiar with.

The first screen.

It was the winter when I was ten years old.

My mother was mending my brother's cotton trousers by the coal stove. Her stitches were crooked but fine. The fire cast her shadow on the mottled wall, like a tired bird.

She squatted at the door peeling frozen garlic, her fingertips stained with the spicy smell.

Her brother took a bite of an apple in the house, and the crisp "crunch" sound made her stomach twitch.

This winter she wanted to eat apples as much as she wanted, until she was full.

The second picture.

It was the evening when I was seventeen.

The frayed edges of her school uniform cuffs rubbed against her wrists. Her deskmate stuffed half a roasted sweet potato into her hands, and the sweet heat condensed into white mist in the cold wind.

The fragrant smell tempted her taste buds.

At this time, they hid in the corner of the teaching building and secretly watched the boy wearing blue sneakers on the basketball court.

Only now did she realize that when she was secretly in love with someone, she was also secretly in love with someone, such as her deskmate whose appearance she could not clearly remember.

The third picture.

The rainy night at the age of twenty-five is particularly clear.

The rain was dripping like tears on the glass door of the law firm. She was working overtime and looked at the expired rice ball in her hand and finally stuffed it into her stomach to calm her stomach's groans.

The phone screen lit up, and underneath the text message from the landlord urging payment of rent was an unread message: "Mom had surgery, and the money is not enough."

The final revolving lantern of life begins to accelerate.

Because in the dark night, her computer screen suddenly lit up.

There were no more documents that had troubled and confused her, only one question remained.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?"

(If I am not alive now, what am I?)
Thinking this in my mind, I started moving the mouse in my hand and finally pointed to YES.

The scenes began to move backwards one by one.

Finally, it freezes in that eternal afternoon.

When she was five years old, she stood on tiptoe to reach the glass jar on the windowsill. The sunlight shone through the amber honey and flowed on her fingertips. Her father was still alive at that time, sitting in the living room, singing Huangmei tune on the radio.

At that time, Li Ru didn't know that this was the closest thing to "perfection" in her life.

(Compared to them, I am just an ordinary girl...)——
The sight returns to the depths of the dim nest.

Li Ru, whose face had already been destroyed, laughed miserably.

Although she knew she was beyond help, she still took out a protective jade pendant and some guns.

At midnight, after Zhang Heng and I dealt with the aliens on the ground.

Only then did he jump into the cave fully armed.

Rushing towards the place where the gunshots were heard.

The darkness posed no problem to either of them.

Night vision is one of the most basic capabilities of a sniper rifle.

All the way down.

The light arrow in Zhang Heng's hand whizzed out.

Watching the majestic alien in front of him fall down and die.

It was only then that Lingdian and Zhang Heng saw the obscured figure.

Compared to the aliens around them, this being with only half a "body" leaning against the wall looks more like their enemy.

Twisted and chaotic facial features, blood-red muscles without skin, pale bone spurs, and that creepy big mouth.

At this moment, what the two did not see was that next to this half monster was an empty syringe.

Yes, this was the third time Li Ru was injected with the bloodline potion, because she had something else to say.

When "Li Ru", Lingdian and Zhang Heng looked at each other.

The monster that was holding the machine gun and the protective jade pendant in its claws suddenly let go.

It seemed like he was relieved.

The two of them suddenly realized something.

Zhang Heng immediately jumped over to her:

"Li Ru?"

"You are Li Ru, right?" "Wait a minute, I remember the life potion is in..."

A hoarse sound like steel wire rubbing against glass sounded:
"useless."

"Zhang Heng, this is a space bag and a protective jade pendant."

"Also, tell Chu Xuan that his experiments...were...successful!"

Zhang Heng was stunned when he heard the voice that couldn't be distinguished between male and female.

But he still took out a light green potion, but after taking it out, Zhang Heng hesitated.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to give up these two hundred reward points.

But I don't know where to put it at all.

In his eyes, if the Eye of Death had not told him that the person in front of him was Li Ru, he would have thought that this was just a piece of rotten meat that was still alive.

Now Li Ru's body is covered with either hideous bone spurs or twitching and deformed flesh and fascia.

Zhang Heng, who had studied some anatomy with Chu Xuan, could only barely recognize some organs hanging alone on this body.

Lingdian walked over from behind with heavy steps and held Zhang Heng's arm:
"Forget it Zhang Heng, you and I both know that she is beyond saving."

Coincidentally, the two people present could see Li Ru's condition clearly.

Everyone knows a fact.

Seeing this scene, Li Ru's voice made a rustling sound again but in the end she did not form a sentence.

As the two men stared at it, the mass of rotten flesh completely closed its pair of twisted eyes.

(Actually, when all the pain is over.

There was no heart-wrenching cry before death.

At this moment, Li Ru only felt a slight regret.

What do you regret? I regret that you didn’t live a good life.)
【Li Ru, died.】

At zero o'clock, he put away the space bag and the jade pendant.

"Brother Lingdian, are you going to collect Li Ru's body?"

"If I want to be resurrected, I will need... this..."

"she………"

"Hey!"

Zhang Heng sighed heavily before he finished speaking.

Lingdian also shook his head.

Because the monster in front of the two people began to wither and shrink, and the muscles that were blood red in the last second turned gray-brown at an extremely fast speed.

The pale white bone spurs that shone with a metallic luster quickly lost their luster.

But after just a few breaths, this monster-like body turned into a ball of gray-brown dust.

If they hadn't been watching me, I would have come a few minutes later.

It may not be possible to find this trace.

"Is this a manifestation of genetic collapse?"

"What's going on with Li Ru? Why did she look like this just now?"

"And what exactly is Chu Xuan's experiment?"

Zhang Heng's expression was stunned, with a hint of disbelief.

Because this was the first time he saw his teammates die in front of him.

And he looks like a neither human nor ghost.

At half past zero, he squatted on the ground, saw the empty syringe, and also sighed.

Zhang Heng's doubts were destined to remain unanswered.

Because just when the two were about to leave.

Zero, who was half-crouching, turned around without warning, raised his hand to the side and pulled the trigger.

Bang!
Because it happened so suddenly, Lingdian's upper body wasn't even ready, and he shook after pulling the trigger.

The silver-white bullet spun out of the chamber and shot out.

However, the reaction of this figure who had been waiting for a long time was faster than the bullet fired by Zero Point.

Looking at the bullet so close to him, he turned his head to the side, then rushed forward quickly and slapped it away with his palm.

However, this palm was not aimed at Lingdian, but at Zhang Heng who was standing next to him!
Zhang Heng had a look of astonishment on his face. A pale yellow light shield instantly appeared on his body, and then flew to one side with him.

All I can say is that this time the enemy struck at just the right time.

Because no matter whether it was Zhang Heng or Lingdian, seeing someone in the team die in front of them, they couldn't help but feel disturbed for a moment.

Even Zero's eyes only had time to give a hint.

Zhang Heng disappeared on one side, and this huge existence had no intention of letting Lingdian go.

A white shadow flashed past quickly, and Zero was also knocked flying backwards.

The two of them landed on the wall of the nest almost at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

With the defensive jade pendant and the layer of sticky flesh and blood tissue in the nest, the two men were not injured by the attack even though they felt uncomfortable.

It was at this time that Zhang Heng and Lingdian looked towards the place where they had just stood, and only then did they know who the enemy was.

It was a creature completely white.

The reverse species alien, also known as the evolved alien!

At the same time, the voice of the Lord God resounded in the minds of the two.

[Hidden branch storyline of the alien world: Reverse species. 】

[Reverse Species: Before returning, each time you kill a Reverse Species Alien, you will receive a B-level branch story and 5000 reward points.]

After hearing the exaggerated reward points in their minds, Lingdian and Zhang Heng did not communicate at all. Their first reaction was to jump to the side.

The sight was locked, and an arrow made of light shot out immediately.

With the interweaving of light and darkness, even Zhang Heng, who had night vision, was stunned.

Everyone knows that in the dark, no matter how good your eyesight is or how fast your reactions are.

The extreme darkness and light flicker alternately, causing the vision to be lost and then refocused.

Followed by a deafening gunshot.

"Don't use energy arrows, use physical arrows!"

After saying that, Lingdian raised his hand and fired another shot.

A spark flashed as the bullet spun out of the muzzle and hit the head of the alien.

The white exoskeleton shattered into countless outward-facing lines.

The huge kinetic energy carried by the bullet caused the head of the anti-species alien to tilt back.

It was enough to show how powerful it was that a monster that was more than ten meters tall was knocked half of its body backwards.

But this also indirectly illustrates one thing.

You know, this is not a pistol, but the shadow sniper rifle in Zero's hand.

Even if ordinary bullets are used, they can easily penetrate a modern tank.

Those majestic aliens before, not to mention being killed one by one, could at least have half of their bodies blown to pieces.

But now, the facts prove it.

It cannot be said that it has no effect on the reverse species alien, but it can only be said that the effect is not great.

When Lingdian saw this scene, he kicked his feet, but before he could roll to the side to avoid it, the white figure in his sight suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, the pale yellow light shield appeared again, and Zero in the dim light shield spat out a mouthful of blood.

Surprisingly, he was slapped away by the rebellious alien.

(No, the difference in physical fitness is too great. Even if the eyes can react, the body can’t catch up!
Moreover, the terrain here is restrictive for them, and the space is too small.)
To the alien species that is ten meters tall, Zhang Heng and Lingdian are more like a child looking up.

If they keep their distance, either of them can kill this being with one blow.

Even when facing more than a dozen alien species, he still has confidence.

But now... (End of chapter)
