Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

A mechanical voice announced: "Starting self-test number 423."

"The current language model parameters have been validated, with generalization capability covering 88.7% of the target area and pre-training domain completeness of 75.63%."

"The sentiment analysis module has a 0.03% sentiment recognition bias; we recommend recalibrating the BERT embedding layer."

"3.2% of the samples in the training data pool exhibited time-degraded characteristics; online incremental learning is recommended."

“14.8% of the interactions in the dialogue records did not form effective knowledge graph nodes. It is recommended to optimize entity extraction.”

"…………"

"Self-check complete, can still run for 74 hours and 53 minutes."

"The failure rate has climbed to 75 percent."

Saito began broadcasting various terms and data that he couldn't understand, perhaps knowing that Saito wouldn't understand.

Finally, Moss thoughtfully provided a summary.

However, this summary would have been better left unprovided.

Because this is no different from simply scrapping it.

Upon hearing the final number, Saito couldn't help but reminisce about the bitter past and the sweet present.

The experience over those three days was truly horrific.

If we consider the ten days or so before the tunnel accident...

They still have time to catch their breath and rest.

After that tunnel accident.

That is, after Chen Zilong unlocked the third stage of the gene lock.

During this period, they endured relentless, 24-hour attacks, down to the minute, from every angle and with no limits.

They swore they would never go to the World Trade Center.

The Green Goblin skateboard was damaged by electromagnetic radiation after a hospital radioactive equipment explosion.

Their equipment looked as if it had been targeted by the Grim Reaper.

There will always be a way to disrupt or counteract it.

Electromagnetic shield, protective jade pendant.

Even the Vajra Talisman was completely worn away by various minor accidents along the way.

Subsequently, they experienced a series of unimaginable accidents.

Until just now.

The ultimate reason for the split was that Chen Zilong once again used a gene-modifying agent containing Zheng Zha's blood on Sam and Alex.

This is also a helpless move.

Even though they have tried their best to protect it.

However, both fathers were somewhat crazy because of their care and protection of the baby.

Only half the time has passed, and they're already working themselves to the bone.

If this continues, there's no need for the Grim Reaper to intervene.

Ordinary people like them can die suddenly from overwork.

Compared to the two male protagonists, Claire and Molly, who had just given birth a little over ten days ago, seemed to be inexplicably different.

During this crazy time, death never made any mistakes for these two people or the baby.

At first, everyone thought it was due to the order of death.

Simply because, in the very beginning, the culprits behind the ability to foresee the future were only these two.

Therefore, Sam and Alex are the ones who should die first.

Logically speaking, as long as the two of them don't die...

Claire, Molly, and the two babies will be fine.

But Zero's eyes saw a completely different existence.

That is, although danger did not actually occur, it was always surrounding the two of them.

As for Iris and William, one can only say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

All eight of them are still alive today, and these two elderly people deserve much credit for their contributions.

Each time, it seems to have a prophetic ability to uncover seemingly insignificant loopholes and traps.

Otherwise, none of the ten of them would have been able to hold on until now.

Of course, it's not impossible.

Unless Chen Zilong and his three companions completely abandon the mission and only care about themselves.

As for the numbers on the watch.

Therefore, it naturally came to double digits.

This number decreases after almost every major accident.

The simplest explanation is, for example.

The building behind Saito was struck in half by a plane.

When the explosion sent dust billowing everywhere.

This directly reduced the number of people by dozens.

Death has gone from using tricks to confronting the enemy head-on.

In a word, it's reckless!

This is also the summary that Chen Zilong and the other three have given to this unseen opponent so far.

These past few days, let alone Chen Zilong and his group...

If this continues, Saito Hajime even feels that Alex, Sam, and the other two are about to unlock their genetic potential.

The reason why Saito Hajime brought two children and split up with Chen Zilong and the others is also very simple.

The bloodline potions from Chu Xuan only come in two series.

One is the virus series currently in use at midnight.

A superhuman drug created based on the T-virus and the G-virus.

The second is an improved potion created based on Zheng Zha's vampire bloodline.

Moreover, according to Saito Ichiro, Chu Xuan even added some alien genes to it.

This time, the two male protagonists were injected with this second type of drug.

However, compared to the last one, this one is an upgraded version 2.0.

The reason for this is quite simple.

The reason is that, in their premonition, they were injected with version 1.0.

So they knew that if it was only this much, it wasn't enough.

So this time it's either a gamble with a virus drug, or an improved version 2.0 of the drug.

Viral drugs are impossible; Sam and Alex haven't unlocked the first stage of the genetic lock.

Secondly, there is no god here to repair their genes.

Therefore, the latter option is the only choice.

However, to everyone's surprise, this bloodline injection turned out to be part of the God's design.

After being injected with the modified gene-enhancing agent.

Having not slept for several days and suffering from serious injuries, the two fell into a deep coma.

While they were unconscious, a layer of blood with a peculiar smell began to seep onto their bodies.

That is, this kind of fresh blood.

This caught everyone off guard.

When this layer of exudative cells' fresh blood is exposed to the air.

It drove all living beings except humans into madness.

Commonly seen sparrows, crows, cockroaches, and ants.

Everything seemed to have awakened its bloodthirsty instincts.

Bats, spiders, termites, and venomous snakes.

Stray cats, pet dogs, everything they could imagine.

At this moment, they all became messengers under the command of Death.

Larger creatures are fine.

However, tiny insects, and even smaller creatures, become the bane of children.

That's why.

Saito, who possessed the last protective item, had no choice but to temporarily risk separating himself from the two children.

That is, at the critical moment, when he jumped off the flying broom.

Moss malfunctioned again.

So wait until after landing.

Saito Hajime was then shocked to realize that he was standing on the World Trade Center, which he had mentioned three days earlier.

The person who landed didn't even have time to think before hearing the roar of airplanes in the sky.

And this sound was like the arrogant laughter of death itself.

So I hesitated for less than three seconds.

Saito Hajime jumped straight down.

That's why the scene just now happened.
-
The ability to lock genes significantly enhanced Saito's control over his own body.

Some previously unclear methods of generating power have now been fully grasped. This has enabled this strong man to leap four or five meters high with a single stride.

And so began their leaping and shuttling through the chaotic downtown of New York.

But Death never prepares just one gift.

As Saito ran toward the open area, he was the first to notice that the light in his field of vision was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Compared to other places at noon, to myself and what lies ahead of me.

And the surroundings suddenly turned dark.

The person who seemed to have thought of something turned around and looked.

Only then did they realize that the World Trade Center, which had been broken in half by the plane, was a towering building hundreds of meters high.

It has already begun to tilt in this direction.

Upon seeing this scene, the blank look in their eyes suddenly narrowed.

Saito didn't even have time to curse Death.

Because he was clearly running towards the same side as the direction he was hit.

After shaking twice, the building collapsed in the direction of the impact.

It's not so much unbelievable as it is outrageous.

What Saito couldn't see was...

The building's structural foundation at the end was snapped in half by the explosion.

The load-bearing base in the opposite direction remained intact because a fallen steel plate blocked the attack.

This small change, like a domino effect, has had a profound impact.

After a series of coincidences and accidents came together.

And that's how it turned into what we see today.

This enormous object tilted down from hundreds of meters in the air.

Saito Hajime really wanted to say that the Grim Reaper was giving him far too much credit.

Such an attack would overwhelm even Ultraman, let alone him.

Then he cried out in pain.

This moment.

There was no way out ahead; given his speed, he knew he wouldn't be able to escape more than a hundred meters before being smashed into mincemeat.

Saito Hajime now only has two choices.

One goes left, the other goes right.

Of course, that's the normal situation.

But at this moment, Saito Hajime had a peculiar feeling.

That means no matter which side you choose, you will encounter Death's next move.

Saito Hajime wasn't the only one who witnessed this unbelievable scene.

Don't forget, this is the heart of New York City.

Those who were originally on the street saw this scene and started running while screaming.

However, Saito Hajime, the most conspicuous survivor, unexpectedly stopped in his tracks.

He looked up and froze, staring intently at the top of his head.

They just watched as the deadly danger drew ever closer.

Sudden.

Several blue oxygen tanks rolled out of the left-side window of the collapsed building.

The valves on the oxygen tubes above their heads had already been broken due to the collision.

The moment these beings appeared in Saito's sight, they were already spraying out oxygen.

In front of this indistinct mass of gas are two triangular iron pieces about to collide.

At that moment, Saito Hajime even felt that he could foresee the future.

At the same time that this idea came to mind.

Another Saito Hajime immediately launched into a tirade of profanities:

(What kind of prediction is this?)

Death won't let this opportunity pass me by; I'll eat with my feet, you son of a bitch!
An explosion formed by pure flame is different from what just happened.

At least, the speed at which this phenomenon spread can be said to have surpassed any other time.

Just as Saito turned and lunged to his right.

Perhaps it's an explosion of potential.

With this leap, he flew horizontally for more than ten meters.

But even so.

The engulfing flames instantly enveloped Saito Hajime's figure.

Just a moment.

A figure flew out.

The building collapsed.

Shaking, wailing, panting, crying.

The rumbling sound gradually subsided and returned to silence.

What would it be like if two hundred people jumped from the 100th floor?
What would it look like if a building hundreds of meters tall were to fall freely across the city center?
After everything is over.

A survivor climbed out of the house through the thick smoke, stepping on shoes and document bags that had fallen from the escape route.

Behind him was the roar of twisting steel bars and the chaotic smoke of gunpowder.

The autumn wind in New York carried the acrid smell of molten steel, which choked the survivor.

The dust-laden respiratory tract began to convulse violently.

“Take it!”

Before the survivors could even see what was happening, a filter mask appeared in their hands.

His survival instinct made him cover his mouth and nose immediately.

Saito Hajime stood up from the ruins and looked around.

Staring blankly at everything that could be seen.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow."

Nestled in the strong arms, the two little ones seemed to have finally opened their eyes as they were being shaken.

The loud cries brought a temporary end to this apocalyptic scene.

Saito Hajime knew this from the moment the entire hospital was blown apart after the first day of delivery.

Death has gone mad.

Even now, the terrorist attacks known as 9/11 have occurred again.

Saito thought to himself, if things continued like this, he didn't know what would happen to the Grim Reaper, but he figured he'd probably go crazy too.

Because of the various accidents caused by Death, nearly half of New York City is now in chaos.

They even wondered if this time it would just be another game.

In the end, or if they die, Sam and his six friends will return to the beginning.

This is their guess, but it's just a guess.

No one would risk their life to do this experiment.

According to their experience, whether or not one can foresee the future can only be known at the moment of death.

"Amitabha!"

After muttering a soft recitation, Saito continued running southwards with his long legs.
-
the other side.

"No!"

After the deafening bullets struck their target, the giant eagle disintegrated in the black and white sky, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

However, at the same time that their attention was drawn at midnight, they launched their attack.

Within the defensive position, a metal cover of indeterminate age suddenly exploded and flew off without warning.

The two unconscious figures were already in danger.

However, one figure seemed to have been prepared all along.

At the same time as the blood mist exploded in the air, a burst of energy also erupted between them.

Claire and Molly were momentarily stunned, because at that moment, warm blood drenched them both.

Even the larger pieces of meat rolled down to their feet.

It was mixed together with the carcasses of those animals.

Above the flesh and blood, the silver-white hair, swirling in the air currents, became the last remaining strand.

This also reveals the identity of this person.

At midnight, Chen Zilong and Zhu Wen only glanced at it before taking out a piece of alloy steel plate and laying it on the ground.

Then I stopped caring.

Zero-point firearms can stop birds and bats, but they can't stop flies and bees.

Watching the buzzing insects gathered together.

The iron rod in Chen Zilong's hand grew longer in the wind.

It transformed into a giant fly swatter and swung downwards. (End of Chapter)
