Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

He supported his face with his hands and finally caught his breath.

Chen Zilong quickly stopped the incredibly awkward topic.

"Ahem, wait a minute, you mean Chu Xuan prepared it?"

"its not right?"

Chen Zilong then looked at the two male protagonists.

"Sam, was this guy part of your premonition?"

Sam and Alex exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

"No, we're sure."

Chen Zilong, Zhu Wen, Lingdian, and Saito Kazuya also realized what was happening.

"You just said Chu Xuan gave it to you? You can only use it after completing the mission?"

"What mission was completed? Does it refer to the genetic locks of the four of us?"

"If we don't untie this, you won't appear?"

I thought Suixin's die-hard fan would explain, but to my surprise, he just nodded.

The sound, like steel wool rubbing against a steel plate, continued:

"Of course."

"Chu Xuan said it's good that you died, so that you can truly face danger after you are resurrected."

"Because in Chu Xuan's eyes, the **space resurrection opportunity, resurrection item and gene lock are completely contradictory existences."

"Once a person knows this information, it is very difficult for them to enter the unlocking state."

"Not everyone has the talent of Zheng Zha."

Chen Zilong's eyes widened: "No, what about Saito Hajime and Zero?"

"They've already used their resurrection chance."

Sui Xin Tieganbing said, "Didn't those two not die in their premonitions?"

"I naturally won't make a move."

The four looked at each other, speechless.

Chen Zilong could only grit his teeth and say:
“Your explanation isn’t wrong, but…”

"Chu Xuan, you're really great!!!"

Zhu Wen rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, but thankfully she knew this wasn't the time for idle chatter.

"Everyone, shall we take a look at what Chu Xuan has prepared?"

"Otherwise, the last day won't be so easy."

All eyes were drawn to the silver spatial bag in Saito's hand.

Watching Saito take out the items one by one from his spatial bag.

Not a moment.

One after another, metal boxes of different sizes were placed on the ground.

When the last box was placed.

Saito Hajime spread his hands: "That's all, that's all."

Zhu Wen glanced down at the countdown on her watch, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

"Alright everyone, it's the last day, let's have some fun."

"That's exactly what I wanted to know too. Facing a modern army."

"With our technology and capabilities, we are able to achieve that."

Done.

Sam and his group opened several nearby metal boxes.

The sarcastic and impulsive soldier, who had just been spouting nonsense, finished his task and returned to calm.

It was as if he hadn't just spoken.

The problem is, Chen Zilong is now somewhat afraid to look directly at the stick in his hand.

"Moss?"

Watch as the black metal sphere in one of the boxes lit up.

Chen Zilong spoke up instinctively.

Because this is the only one among all the boxes that resembles a robot.

"Hello everyone, I am the second generation of artificial intelligence. You can call me Deep Blue."

After the metal sphere lit up with a light representing energy, a material resembling rubber tires extended from both sides.

Then, without any apparent effort, he jumped out of the box.

The metal ball quickly surveyed its surroundings, and after a faint crackling sound of electricity, the steady voice of the middle-aged man rang out again.

"Chu Xuan has made preparations. Now, activate the third emergency experimental plan."

"Please, Sam..."

"No, wait!"

Chen Zilong raised his hand and waved.

"May I ask what an experimental contingency plan is?"

Deep Blue spoke calmly and composedly:

"It's actually an experiment. The situation is completely under control now. It's the perfect opportunity to experiment with the Tri-type bio-armor, which is the flesh and blood box in Sam and Alex's hands."

"Should the plan continue?"

Saito and the others exchanged glances.

"Go on, go on, continue."

After Chen Zilong finished speaking, he didn't care anymore.

There's no way around it, the difference between having Chu Xuan and not having Chu Xuan is just that big.

If Deep Blue had replaced Moss after they lost him at the hotel, they wouldn't have been targeted by the authorities.

They wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.

"Open box number nine."

"Sam, Alex, get ready."

Chen Zilong heard this.

I was just about to ask why it was the two of them.

Zhu Wen then hit him.

He mouthed four words: "Protagonist's halo."

Chen Zilong then nodded.

However, when everyone looked at the metal box marked with the number nine...

"Number nine, number nine box, it's so big?"

"I rely on?"

Deep Blue hadn't finished speaking yet, and the box hadn't been opened.

Without warning, Zero Point in the corner suddenly turned and looked towards the eastern horizon.

The person who spoke up immediately said:

"Oh no, it's a medium- or long-range ballistic missile!"

"Has the military gone mad?"

Lingdian had just finished speaking when no one else had reacted yet.

The deep blue on the ground also turned around, and then spoke first:
"Quickly, activate the third metal box."

"Please start recording the affected area. I will be entering hibernation protection mode. See you in five minutes."

The others still didn't understand what it meant.

The dark blue metal sheet shrank back to its original shape and became completely still.

The group had no choice but to quickly look inside box number three to see what "magic weapon" Chu Xuan had prepared for them.

I skipped number nine and opened number three.

The No. 3 is not very big; it's about the same size as a regular suitcase.

However, after opening it, most people looked completely bewildered.

Because they don't recognize the things inside.

Fortunately, there are some knowledgeable people here.

"This is... an electromagnetic surge pulse device?"

Chen Zilong looked at Saito Hajime, who had spoken:

"you know?"

Saito nodded:

"The energy conversion runes on these were copied from my storage ring."

"Later I learned that the function of this rune is to activate a force field."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the electromagnetic pulse device that Chu Xuan mentioned before, capable of covering a large area."

"I remember Chu Xuan saying that this kind of thing is like a divine artifact in modern society."

It can destroy all electronic devices with circuitry in an instant. "It can directly regress the technology within its coverage area to the steam-powered era."

"There is no other way to restore its functionality except by replacing the hardware."

"Of course, this thing also has obvious drawbacks, namely that it cannot distinguish between friend and foe unless it has strong protection."

"That explains why Deep Blue is in hibernation."

As Chen Zilong listened, he looked towards the dense layer of orange-red flames that had appeared in the darkness to the east.

"No, what are we waiting for? Let's get this going!"

As he spoke, he moved quickly.

He reached out and slapped her.

He slammed down the red button at the top.

That is, the instant the button is pressed.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was momentarily stunned, as if time had stood still.

The blue electrical energy stored in the box immediately broke free from its restraints.

It began spraying in all directions.

However, this process of converting into electromagnetic signals is not visible to the naked eye.

So everyone felt a tingling sensation all over their bodies, followed by all the fighter jets, helicopters, and tanks within their sight.

Even the lights emanating from the distant skyscrapers were swept away by an invisible force.

Then they spread out beyond their visible range.

The most obvious thing is that, a little over a second later, all the red light spots on the east side exploded.

The main feature will be illuminated directly in the East.

Then came utter darkness.

If it's a normal power outage in the city, there might be a backup power source or a generator somewhere.

But now, everything is gone.

The streets are brightly lit, the buildings are brightly lit, the neon lights in the downtown area are bright, and the electronic screens are bright.

It was as if I had been transported back hundreds of years in an instant.

But the disappearance of the lights was only the beginning.

Mobile phones, computers, televisions, and so on.

All existence driven by electricity has suffered fundamental destruction, and this destruction continues to spread.

One minute later.

I snapped out of my daze on the rooftop of the building.

"Gudong."

Sam swallowed hard.

Because this was the darkest city he had ever seen since he could remember.

Fortunately, after a while, I got used to the limited moonlight.

"I'm wondering if Alex and I don't even need to lift a finger?"

"This electromagnetic pulse solves everything, doesn't it?"

Molly looked at New York City, now completely shrouded in darkness, and at the city devoid of any light, and said in agreement:

"According to you, the army should be completely paralyzed, right?"

"No, they're too busy taking care of themselves."

this moment.

Even William, a middle-aged man, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at this unfamiliar, dark city:
"That's an incredible ability."

What the people on the rooftop didn't know was...

Just when the entire city was plunged into absolute darkness.

A cool breeze lifted a newspaper from the ground at the crossroads into the air.

The newspaper, which was originally covered in wrinkles, unfolded strangely.

On that fleeting front-page headline:
"The Times reported that the Leonid meteor shower mysteriously disappeared three days ago, possibly due to the uncertainty of the comet's orbit and interference from dust from space debris."

"Experts' latest prediction: It is expected to arrive within a week."
-
Zhu Wen walked up to a metal box with a red cross painted on it.

He took out vials of green fluorescent medicine and handed them to everyone.

"Let's give them all the injections. The army might fall into disarray, but Death won't."

"There are still more than 23 hours left, and the road ahead is still long!"

Claire looked at the life potion in her hand and gave a bitter smile:
"I still hope I'll never need to use this kind of thing."

As they spoke, these individuals proceeded to administer their injections.

Since no one knows what will happen next, all they can do is face it with a completely open mind.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

When the deep blue revives.

After greeting everyone, he immediately rolled towards one of the metal boxes.

One by one, the drones, emitting buzzing sounds, were launched and flew into the darkness in four directions.

Clearly, they went to investigate the situation.

Then Zhu Wen seemed to remember something and asked, looking down, "By the way, where's the satellite?"

"Deep Blue, are the military's satellites still monitoring us?"

"After all, the coverage area just now couldn't possibly affect space, right?"

Deep Blue said:

"Don't worry, all the satellites that have just been locked onto New York have received a wave of electromagnetic interference, enough to paralyze satellites of this era."

Zhu Wen then nodded.

Only then could they truly break free from the military.

After all, without satellite guidance and positioning, there would be no missiles.

But it was at this time...

Saito Hajime looked up and murmured:
"So, I have a question: if a satellite malfunctions, will it suddenly fall to the ground?"

Deep Blue answered seriously:

"The claim that the satellite crashed due to a malfunction is not objectively true."

However, a sudden satellite malfunction has a low probability of causing an explosion or a deviation from its intended orbit.

"Orbital deviation could potentially cause multiple satellites to collide with each other, but the chances of this are very small."

Calculations show that even if a crash occurs.

The process of a natural crash can take anywhere from ten months to several years.

"Based on a high-probability calculation model, even if it falls to the ground immediately, 90% of the satellite's materials will be consumed when it passes through the atmosphere."

"The probability of a surviving metal part hitting a person is one in a billion."

"Therefore, in the history of human civilization, there has never been an accident in which a falling satellite hit a person."

Saito nodded in understanding:
"So, the probability of a satellite falling and hitting us is a hundred times smaller than winning the lottery?"

"do you mean this?"

Deep Blue affirmed, "Yes."

Chen Zilong said from the side:

“I feel like you’re not as smart as Moss. Usually when we tease him like this, Moss has already looked up.”

"And you're still calculating probabilities with us."

"But I still have to say, Death is fucking shameless and can't take a joke!"

Deep Blue, the next-generation artificial intelligence, finally realized what was happening.

The tire-like metal body began to rotate, pointing the camera towards the sky.

The sky, illuminated by the darkness, appeared even more dazzling with starlight.

One by one, stars with exceptionally bright twinkled appeared in the sky.

Moreover, these stars seem to become brighter and closer with each blink.

In the end, it became something with a little tail.

Compared to the missiles we just saw but didn't even see.

These extraterrestrial visitors are even more unbelievable.

Standing on the rooftop of the building.

These "guests" are thousands of miles away, so far away that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are out of reach.

But everyone present had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

Those are the meteor showers that others would pray for.

Their target is them.

It was destined to be them.

Chen Zilong squatted down and shook Shen Lan vigorously:
"Just tell us directly what other items we have that can help us survive these attacks that we can't tell if they're meteorites or satellite debris?"

Shen Lan was clearly less flustered than Chen Zilong, and some reacted too late. (End of Chapter)
