Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Everyone nodded in agreement, because Li Xiao's theory was correct.

The Earth in Ripley 8's memory should be the Earth more than two hundred years ago.

In other words, there must be something within this revived memory.

Ripley, who understood this as well, lowered his head and rubbed his face with both hands.

"I don't know what you were talking about, dark artificial intelligence, and the digital revolution."

"In my memory, it was during the special training period."

“I recall a demonstration that was supported by armed forces, and the purpose of the demonstration was for people to demand that the government lift restrictions on the Digital Life program.”

"I don't know if this plan is the same as the digital revolution you're talking about."

"But that's the only relevant event I can think of."

"By the way, I recall that the Digital Life Project seems to have been supported by some state-owned power, because they also attacked the aviation training base at the time."

"But nothing happened in the end, and then I boarded the spaceship and set off."

"The moon crash should have happened after my spaceship departed."

After hearing this from the corner, Reeves looked excitedly at Ripley:
"Yes, how come we never thought of that?"

"The hidden Earth is actually real in your eyes."

John added:

"If I had known this would happen, this news would definitely have fetched a high price!"

Only Christie stared at Ripley curiously and asked:

"So what is this Digital Life Project you're referring to?"

The situation of Reeves and his group is not surprising.

Because this has been the case for hundreds of years.

This is the first real news from Earth.

Ripley looked up at the people who were all staring at him.

He revealed a look of reminiscence.

"Actually, this plan is very controversial."

"As you know, space travel technology was not yet mature at that time."

"Whether it's the hibernation of personnel during long flight periods or the harsh environment of colonized planets, these are unavoidable problems."

"At that time, there was a breakthrough in neuron technology."

"Thus, a possibility arose."

"That is to extract human consciousness, discard the fragile physical body, and transform it into digital life."

"In your understanding, it means turning a person into an intelligent program."

"This avoids the two problems I just raised."

"Moreover, if it really succeeds, it's not just those two issues, but also something more real."

"So that's the impact on the original structure of human society?"

"When the federal government verified this technology, it can be said that the entire human civilization was shaken."

"Then, I don't know what happened, but the government banned this technology, and all related experiments were stopped."

"The most outstanding researchers were also dispersed and added to other experiments."

"I remember that not long afterward, the march began."

"Then came the terrorist attacks."

After Ripley finished recounting the existence in his memories, he fell silent.

The four mercenaries looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Screech!!"

Wells and the others exchanged glances and then all looked at Ripley.

"We've never even heard of this technology. Is it possible for a person to become a computer program?"

"However, now that you mention it, it seems like all of my previous guesses were correct."

"Artificial intelligence, digital life, and immortality and infertility all refer to the same thing."

"One is created by man, and the other is transformed by man."

"Those who become digital life forms are naturally immortal and cannot reproduce."

"Doesn't that make sense?"

Actually, there's no need to say more about Wells, who is all brawn and no brain.

After all, who among those present wasn't smarter than him?

Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong looked at each other thoughtfully.

Then another one turned its gaze toward the Earth, which was getting closer and closer.

Li Xiao got up and walked to the control panel. Looking at the projected star map of the entire Milky Way, he murmured:

"What a rich and diverse worldview. What you're talking about is a scenario that will only occur after the Digital Life Project is completed and even replaces real humans in unifying the Earth."

"As for whether it's true or false, and what really happened, we'll find out soon enough, won't we?"

While saying this, Li Xiao couldn't help but start complaining in his heart.

Because if that's the case.

Isn't this future Earth just a combination of The Matrix and Terminator?

A Frankenstein's monster?
Or will it be even more unbelievable?

The Betty, traveling through a barred spiral galaxy, soon arrived at a vortex vacuum.

A month later.

Time in a spaceship is like water slipping through your fingers.

You can't catch it or see it.

After learning that their destination was Earth, the mercenaries, who had been suffering from nightly hangovers, finally remembered that there was a training room on the warship.

With the threat of death looming, no one needed to urge them; they all began training immediately.

"It's been thirty days already?"

Aren't you going to keep going?

"What's the point of leaving the warship just sitting there like that?"

"Could it be that those two know something? Or perhaps they sensed something?"

"Or!"

John, with his dreadlocks, swallowed hard and said in a low voice:
"Those two have actually gone mad?"

I heard those last two words.

Everyone in the training room.

Whether it's Wells doing push-ups or not.

Whether it was Christie lifting dumbbells or Ripley shooting a basket, their movements froze.

Then everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken.

Wells stood up and slapped him across the face.

"How could that be? If that were the case, we could be writing our wills right now."

"How could they possibly still let us train here?"

He said that, but anyone could tell that the burly white man was putting on a forced smile.

John turned off the treadmill in front of him.

"But if he's not crazy, then what is he doing?"

"Just stay here and not move?"

"It should have arrived on Earth long ago, but it suddenly stopped."

"And they even struck that pose."

John twisted his body as he spoke.

Thinking of Li Xiao's posture sitting in front of the sunroof in the control room, the group began to hesitate.

Fortunately, a voice gave them the answer.

"It is Qigong, or rather, it should be something similar to Qigong."

The group put down their equipment and looked at Cole, who was fiddling with a Rubik's Cube in the corner.

"The federal database shows that during the distant period when Earth split apart, the various factions of that time were named after nations."

"Qigong is a mysterious phenomenon within a country called China."

"This existence has been repeatedly disproven before the interstellar era, but Li Xiao's posture and even breathing rhythm during these thirty days are more than 80 percent similar to the recorded qigong."

Christie asked:

"Cole, may I ask what the purpose of Qigong is?"

"So what is the content that is being disproven?" Cole: "It strengthens the body and prolongs life."

"The rest are not recorded in detail in the offline database."

Christie nodded, a knowing look on her face.

"Have you ever wondered why Li Xiao and Zhao Keke, those two, are so powerful?"

"It's been over a month now. They can drink water, eat, and everything is no different from a normal person."

"But their speed and strength are even greater than Cole's, the cyborg."

"Even surpassing those aliens."

"The key point I want to make is that they are not crazy, but are cultivating themselves."

"Practice?"

Wells and John asked in unison.

Christie nodded.

And it was during this discussion that...

Sitting in the cockpit, Li Xiao, whom they called the protagonist, had also reached a crucial moment.

The Zhongzhou team was split into four.

The purpose of entering different worlds is not just to obtain a bloodline, an item, or complete side quests.

The ultimate goal is simply to become stronger.

Become stronger in all aspects through various means.

They spent the same amount of reward points. The other three groups had three months, but for Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong, it took five times longer.

That is, fifteen months, or a little over a year.

Li Xiao actually had many plans at the beginning, including Earth, which Zheng Zha mentioned, the Predator that Zhan Lan talked about, and the main storyline.

The most important thing is to spend time practicing internal energy cultivation techniques.

This was the first time Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong had exchanged for such a long time since entering the Main God Space.

Although Li Xiao had already anticipated before entering, his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill would inevitably change this time.

But Li Xiao didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

In fact, the same reward points are more than a year in the Alien World compared to three months, making it the most suitable option for the three people who have exchanged for the A-level internal energy cultivation method.

Unfortunately, both Chen Zilong and Zheng Zha were troubled by love.

In the end, he was the only one left.

Just a month ago, after learning some news about Earth from the mercenaries and Ripley.

Before they could even begin to prepare, Li Xiao sensed that something was wrong with him.

Of course, this problem is not bad, but good.

If I had to describe it in four words, it would be "overflowing with fullness".

Of course, this is just an adjective.

In Li Xiao's understanding, it doesn't matter what level of internal energy cultivation method or martial arts move it is.

Actually, there are four levels: entry level, minor achievement, major achievement, and perfection.

Of course, it can also be viewed as three levels: beginner, proficient, and expert.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether it's three, four, or five types.

Once you exchange for it in the God's Space, you will directly obtain the first realm.

That is, beginner or novice.

The format is that once redeemed, it can be used immediately.

The initial learning curve has been skipped, and the path ahead depends on individual talent, ability, and genetic limitations.

Now, after several battles and training, and without the restriction of gene lock, he has become a more mature man.

Li Xiao finally reached what he considered to be the second hurdle.

At this moment.

Li Xiao, with his five hearts facing upwards, appeared motionless, but inside, no...

It should be said to be the skin and the muscles above the bones.

The four are undergoing tremendous changes.

If you had a magnifying glass that could clearly see the cells at this time, you would have discovered it.

Li Xiao's epidermal cells are rapidly dividing and piling up, and the final combination of cells forms a completely new morphology.

Despite the fact that the true energy within the body is constantly decreasing.

But Li Xiao seemed to feel nothing at all, condensing a wisp and then dissipating it.

The changes, invisible to the naked eye, gradually spread throughout Li Xiao's entire body: his palms, forearms, elbows, and shoulders.

Li Xiao sat there quietly and motionless from beginning to end, receiving the baptism of this special power.

So much so that they forgot where they were, and even forgot the passage of time.

The changes are only just beginning, moving from the surface to the core.

And so another twenty days passed.

However, these twenty-odd days are different from the previous month.

Li Xiao neither ate nor drank, nor did he move; he didn't even open his eyes.

If it weren't for this person maintaining their breathing and heartbeat, and the protection of a certain girl...

Wells and his men had already gone up and made their move.

After all, in their understanding, going more than twenty days without food or water is something no human can do.

In Li Xiao's perception.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

However, he was very glad that he had redeemed the item for a sufficiently long period of time.

Because if it weren't for this, it wouldn't be possible to have a "completely new look" this time.

In Uncle Zombie, he uses nutrient solution, gravity ring, and high-intensity training.

It took three months to accelerate the metabolism of the cells in the bodies of Jia Le and the other three, resulting in a complete transformation.

And on the Betty.

With the help of his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, Li Xiao accomplished this feat in just over twenty days.

And the body after the replacement.

The internal organs.

The outer bones, muscles, flesh, and skin.

All six aspects, from the inside out, can be said to have reached inhuman strength.

Only then can one be considered to have an indestructible body.

a moment.

Li Xiao finally opened his eyes.

A strange golden light flashed in his pupils and disappeared in an instant.

The girl, who stayed by his side the whole time, witnessed this.

A smile finally appeared on her beautiful face, which had been expressionless the whole time.

After the strange look in Li Xiao's eyes faded, she immediately fell into a daze.

This time, he could feel it.

Despite the fact that the entire warship had some ventilation systems, his body was still covered in a layer of dust.

In addition, the old cells that he split outwards had long since piled up into a thick layer.

After spitting out a stream of silk with a whistling sound.

The genetic lock is unlocked layer by layer.

Li Xiao stood up.

With just this simple movement, a sound like rolling thunderbolts erupted from his body.

The shockwave sent Reeves, who was piloting the spaceship not far away, crashing him to the ground.

When Reeves looked over in astonishment.

The crackling sounds inside Li Xiao's body continued unabated.

The terrifying sound only stopped completely after Li Xiao stretched.

A noticeable cloud of dust had piled up at his feet.

Li Xiao, under the third-order gene lock, entered a completely different state of mind at this moment.

He felt an uncanny sense that his skin, muscles, tendons, and bones were completely unified, as if they were one. (End of Chapter)
