Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Zhu Wen's words made everyone present feel a chill.

Zhu Wen shrugged, noticing the way people were looking at her.

"Don't look at me like that. If it had a good ending, the two of them wouldn't have been like that just now."

"It's not like I haven't seen them experience predicting the future."

"At least he won't look distraught."

Under everyone's gaze, Alex and Sam slowly lowered their heads.

Several minutes passed.

Sam then raised his head with a bitter smile on his face.

The originally brownish-red pupils lost their ability to focus, as if they had been staring into an abyss for too long.

However, Sam blinked much faster than before, at one particular moment.

His once blank eyes had transformed into those of a wild beast, filled with a chilling wariness.

The muscles in his fingers and neck twitched unconsciously in response to the change in his eyes.

If Chu Xuan were here, he would definitely say that this is a breakdown that occurs after the human nervous system has been operating under high load for a long time.

And it wasn't just Sam; Alex, who was standing next to him with his head down the whole time, was the same.

This kind of mental transformation within the body is common among soldiers active on the battlefield and can be considered a typical form of stress-induced trauma.

Sam's expression changed repeatedly, as if he had finally escaped that world.

He murmured to himself as if talking to himself:
"Before we both die, all that's left are the children and them."

Sam looked up, his gaze falling on Saito behind Zhu Wen and Zero, who remained silent in the corner.

"Saito is seriously injured. If it's Zero, he probably isn't human."

"But it's fortunate that he's not human, so he's still barely alive."

"As for Zhu Wen and Chen Zilong, you two had to separate from us during a dangerous incident because of Claire and Molly's relationship."

The end result is that all four of you will die together.

Actually, when I heard this...

Zhu Wen and Chen Zilong were already wide-eyed, wanting to ask something but not knowing how.

Because this news came rather abruptly.

Himself? Dead?
How did you die?

How could he die?

As seasoned individuals, the two had not been without experience of death.

In fact, each time they witnessed death, both of them imagined their own less-than-ideal ending.

But in all my countless imaginings, I never imagined learning of my death under these circumstances.

Misleading yet real.

The reason it's considered genuine is because both of them had a kind of intuition.

Sam didn't deceive them if things really continued on the current trajectory.

Nothing will change; in the next twenty-eight days, I and Zhu Wen will really die.

In that instant, Zhu Wen and Chen Zilong were filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Finally, she came to her senses and gestured for Sam to continue.

"Then William and Iris died one after another while protecting the children after you died."

"One man had his neck pierced by a razor on the shelf."

"One of them was impaled by a metal fire truck body on the roadside."

"Both accidents happened in an instant, and we had no chance to save them."

"In the end, the two of us let Saito and Zero take the child away, and then stayed behind to fight against Death."

At this point, Sam relaxed completely and denied it with a self-deprecating laugh:

"No, it can't really be called a confrontation."

"Because we simply don't have that ability."

"At that time, the two of us were at most a burden. Bio-Armor was broken, and we had too many side effects from the drugs."

“If we follow, we'll only hold Saito and Zero back.”

"So, in the end."

We gave up the struggle and accepted death.

"Then I opened my eyes again and I was back in this ward!"

"We've gone back to twenty-eight days ago."

After Sam finished speaking, he got up and hugged Molly tightly on the hospital bed next to him.

Her face was already covered in tears.

Alex also reached out and tightly grasped Claire's hand beside him.

Zhu Wen frowned and asked:

"What's broken? But wait, where are our protective gear?"

Sam shook his head: "It's gone, it's all gone."

"Compared to last time, the main god has become smarter, and each attack continuously depletes the energy and number of attacks of the protective shield."

"So much so that it played no role in the face of real danger."

Zhu Wen pressed on, "Where's Moss?"

Sam said in a deep voice, "The Earth's magnetic field has changed, causing a large-scale electromagnetic storm that has paralyzed all electronic components."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zilong and Saito both let out a sigh.

Moss was being targeted by Death in such a way.

"That's not right. I remember that Moss has measures to protect against electromagnetic storms."

Sam shook his head: "I don't understand this either. Moss did have no problems at first, but after a few days, he started to make mistakes."

"We were almost wiped out because of a miscalculation."

Zhu Wen nodded: "Since Death can be modified into a magnetic field to generate an electromagnetic storm, then it can also change other parameters."

"I guess that's how Moss was influenced."

"But I still don't understand, what about safe houses, or even vacant lots in the suburbs?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to just get rid of modern architecture?"

Sam looked at Zhu Wen with a complicated expression.

It was as if I could see that female warrior covered in wounds again, just over ten days ago.

And Chen Zilong holding her.

"I don't know what happened either. All I know is that you guys keep cursing some being, saying things like 'the highest difficulty' and so on."

"As for the safe zone you mentioned, there isn't one!"

"Accidents are not just car crashes, explosions, or mechanical accidents."

"This includes earthquakes, tsunamis, and even ground collapses that can create sinkholes."

"The world back then was clearly still the same world. But it had changed again."

"It has become unrecognizable to us, and extremely unfamiliar."

"It's as if the world is filled with only two words: death."

As Sam said this, his eyes once again fell into painful memories.

Molly even frowned because her hands were clenched so tightly.

Molly didn't say anything, she just hugged her lover.

In this world, the one who dies first is actually the one who is liberated.

Because living alone is very difficult.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Zilong coughed twice, feigning seriousness, and changed the subject, asking:

"Then what? By the way, what did you two mean by 'boy' and 'girl' at the beginning?"

"It can't be..."

Their gazes inevitably fell on the two pregnant women's protruding bellies.

Seeing that the two had improved considerably after this period of adjustment, the two elderly fathers nodded with wry smiles.

"Yes, it's what you think."

Saito Kazumi simply uttered "Amitabha."

It's really outrageous.

Before the baby is even born, you already know whether it's a boy or a girl, what the child will look like, and even whether there are birthmarks.

"So what now?"

"By the way, since you've all been through it once, you should be able to avoid most of the life-threatening crises, right?"

"Also, when were Claire and the other woman born?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be soon, right?"

Zhu Wen finished speaking.

Sam replied:
"It's possible, but there are just too many dangers. The shadow of death is everywhere and there's no way to avoid it."

"Even you would be caught off guard and overwhelmed when faced with Death at its full power."

"As for their delivery time, I remember it very clearly, it's tomorrow morning at nine o'clock!"

Upon hearing the exact time, Zhu Wen and the others immediately knocked down the wall between the two rooms.

It was used to ensure everyone's final rest.

Because according to their experience.

This last half-day and one-night break will probably be a rare period of relaxation and rest for the next month.

Close the door.

Chen Zilong grinned and said:
"If that's the case, then it's probably not Death's doing. I have a feeling that the main god intervened in their premonitions."

"So, it turns out we're the ones who dragged those six down?"

Zhu Wen shook her head: "Not necessarily."

"Since they triggered visions of the future, isn't that a good thing?"

"This can be considered a way of reducing the difficulty."

"In Chu Xuan's words, the God of God will not issue missions that are certain to lead to death, so this premonition may be the God of God's last act of assistance."

Chen Zilong waved his hand:
"Help? Well, that's not wrong, but I don't think Death will give up on us so easily."

Zhu Wen rubbed her scalp and whispered, "Moss, can you monitor the entire hospital?"

"I'm sorry, everyone, because the size of the drone is too small, we can only monitor existing cameras by hacking into the network, and we cannot split the drone to cover all blind spots in the hospital."

Zhu Wen nodded, then smiled.

She looked at the three people with tense expressions and said with a smile:

"Actually, this is fine."

"Don't forget our original purpose."

“Saito Hajime, Zero, you two, apart from the first seven days when the gene lock was activated once due to the drug, after that…”

And then there was no more news, right?

"If we can't fully adapt and unlock the first stage of the gene lock within 28 days, then we've come all this way for nothing!"

"Without the determination to die, you will never be able to unlock the next stage of your genetic potential."

"As for Chen Zilong and me, I think we are the best proof."

"I suddenly thought of something."

Perhaps the Supreme God wanted to tell Chen Zilong and me something through Sam and Alex.

"That means if we don't unlock the next stage of the gene lock within these 28 days, we will die as predicted."

"For us, this may be the only way to survive."

Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Zhu Wen casually said:
"Why are you looking at me? As a member of the Reincarnation Squad, isn't this the most basic awareness you should have?"

"Moreover, in some future, Chen Zilong and I have already died once."

------------

"Hello everyone, I'm Catherine, the news anchor for today's news."

A sudden earthquake struck the New York coastline, potentially triggering extreme weather events such as tsunamis, typhoons, and brief periods of heavy rainfall.

"Please take precautions if you are in the vicinity."

"According to recent predictions by astronomers, the dangers of supernova explosions and meteorite disintegration are all rumors."

The Geminid meteor shower will make its first appearance over the southern sky at midnight tonight, with New York City being the primary observation area.

"This is a live update from New York."

"At approximately 3:17 PM New York time on September 8, an unidentified armed helicopter crashed into the River Hudson in London."

According to eyewitness accounts, all dozens of people on board the helicopter perished; there were no survivors.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that this was an operation by a terrorist organization. Our news reporters are currently investigating the situation. Please stay tuned."

"The following is the second live news segment."

"In the Harley area of ​​New York City, a limousine collided with a parked long-distance bus and exploded, with both vehicles plunging into a ravine. At least 30 people are expected to die."

"This could become the biggest traffic accident in New York in recent years."

"Wait, breaking news, another road-related update."

"A disturbance occurred in the nearest tunnel due to a car accident, resulting in a multi-vehicle collision."

This caused a car fire. Drivers in the vicinity are advised to stay away from the sides of the tunnel.

"According to reliable sources, normal visibility has been lost inside the 13-mile-long tunnel, which is filled with thick black smoke."

"Many drivers abandoned their vehicles and fled, but even so, many drivers and passengers are still missing."

"All fire and rescue forces in New York City have been activated. Our reporter Mary Sue will provide the latest updates."

"Cry, cry..."

As the sparks ignited, the radio broadcast abruptly stopped.

It then suddenly exploded, making the already smoke-filled tunnel even more dangerous.

And this explosion was as contagious as it seemed.

Or rather, it's more like a toy in the hands of terrorists.

One after another, they followed the trail of something, heading towards it.

It is located in the Midtown Tunnel that connects Manhattan and Queens.

The rumbling sound, along with the debris flying overhead, kept them on their toes.

Saito Kazuki relied on his tall and strong physique.

Even while carrying William and Iris, she still moved with incredible speed, accelerating through the thick smoke.

At the very front, Chen Zilong swung his "Sui Xin Tie Gan Bing" (a type of weapon) with a backhand.

Holding two adorable pink babies in one arm, she cleared the way while still having time to soothe the children.

In contrast.

The people behind Qi Tengyi looked much more disheveled.

Zhu Wen transformed into a transparent light and shadow, constantly moving around the group to provide support.

At midnight, he carried the unconscious Molly and Claire on his back.

The assassin, who was originally skinny, now looked like a small giant.

With a heavy thud, he took a step forward, covering a distance of seven or eight meters.

He followed closely behind Saito Hajime.

Sam and Alex's figures kept flashing and jumping on the congested cars.

Although it was a bit of a struggle to keep up, I managed to catch up on my own.

Their graceful and skillful movements are no less than those of parkour athletes or even special forces soldiers.

After all, it's an extra month out of nowhere.

This also allowed the two of them to take their reaction time and skills to a new level.

It is well known that people who live in danger for a long time will have their senses sharpened.

And the ability to activate predictive neural networks, a crucial aspect of battlefield survival.

Sam and Alex are the best proof of this. (End of Chapter)
