Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

The metal door opened directly.

In an instant, a powerful blast of cold air rushed in from outside.

Caught off guard, only Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong were present.

Every single one of them was swept to the ground by this force.

Cole and Moss were alright; they crouched down immediately but still slid backward a distance.

The others, however, were in a much worse state.

Reeves, John, Christie, and Wells rolled around in a ball and huddled in a corner.

The temperature, which was already below zero, jumped to minus 150 degrees Celsius the moment the door opened, like a dam bursting.

The ordinary metal cabins in the space station were suddenly covered in a layer of ice crystals, starting from the door and moving inwards, in the eyes of Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong.

Anyone who has studied physics knows that this is a phenomenon caused by a sudden drop in temperature over a short period of time.

Li Xiao took a deep breath upon seeing this scene.

Feeling the body's response, my heart started to beat faster and my body temperature rose.

While stretching his body, he lifted his foot and walked outside.

It circulates through the lungs in one breath.

A golden light flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and at the same time, a white streak of air shot out from under his nose.

This single breath left a visible mark on the metal car door.

One can imagine how terrifying the force Li Xiao unleashed was.

In fact, if it weren't for this breakthrough, the internal organs wouldn't have been strengthened.

Li Xiao wouldn't be so confident.

The physical body alone can withstand the extreme environments on Earth today.

In terms of pure physical fitness, there is also the strength of internal organs.

Having been subtly influenced by the indestructible body, it has long possessed the ability to be impervious to water and fire.

In terms of biological significance, Li Xiao has now transcended the realm of humans by conducting biopsy studies.

It is said that Li Xiao still needs further research to determine.

The girl who had been standing next to him was even more amazing.

So much so that the few people who looked up in disarray wanted to kneel down and bow in gratitude.

Because they could still understand the changes in Li Xiao with their limited imagination.

It's just a matter of breathing a little louder.

But Zhao Yingkong's transformation was nothing short of miraculous.

The girl's camouflage uniform froze into pieces as the cold air swept in.

At the same time, layers of black particles formed a silk ribbon that appeared out of thin air, in just a moment.

Before the gust of wind had even finished blowing, a special black outfit appeared on the girl's body.

Looking at the two lotus-like arms and a small section of the lower leg exposed to the minus 150 degrees Celsius.

The men all swallowed hard.

It's not tempting, it's terrifying.

In fact, in the eyes of Veris and the others, Zhao Yingkong's current clothes were not as warm as her previous camouflage uniform.

Even so, I didn't feel the slightest discomfort in the face of such temperature; in fact, I didn't even blink.

They didn't even know if it was their imagination.

The girl named Zhao Yingkong seemed to prefer the current temperature.

However, perhaps sensing certain gazes, the girl slowly loosened her clenched fist.

When the strong wind subsided, a long black sword simply grew out.

A hole was also created in the metal floor where the knife tip was pointing.

This time, the six of them finally realized how the other party's knife had appeared.

It actually grew from the palm of my hand?
However, after glancing at the constantly cracking hole beneath the blade, Reeves and the others quickly looked away.

Inside the force field helmet.

"Aren't you cold?"

"Don't ask me, I'm wearing a nano spacesuit with temperature regulation, so it's quite warm."

"What exactly is going on with them?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're aliens."

"How could that be? Don't forget their identities; they're from the military!"

"Moreover, to the best of my knowledge, there are only six generals in the entire federal government who are currently in the public eye."

"What's wrong with the military? Haven't we encountered enough bizarre things? Maybe the entire federal government is made up of aliens."

After a brief discussion, the group realized that a man and a woman with their hands in their pockets and a knife in their hands were standing outside the space elevator.

A blank, back view facing the Earth.

After being helped up by Cole and Moss, the four of them stepped out of the frost-covered carriage.

Looking around at this legendary Earth.

The reason why Li Xiao and Zhao Ying were stunned was quite simple.

[Complete the hidden side quest in the Alien World, arrive on Earth, and you will be rewarded with a D-rank side quest and 1500 reward points.]

As soon as Li Xiao took his first step, he heard a prompt from the main god in his mind.

As he looked at Zhao Yingkong, the other person also looked at him.

It was obvious that both of them heard the unsurprisingly good news.

But it's not over yet.

What happened next was the crucial point that stunned the two of them.

[Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong, members of the Zhongzhou team, trigger a special story mission in the Alien World: Escape.]

[Escape: Ensure the survival and escape from Earth of the six main characters: Ripley 8, the android Cole, the mercenary Christie, the mercenary Wells, the mercenary John, and the mercenary Reeves.]

Each person receives 500 reward points for a D-level side quest.

All survivors will be rewarded with a B-level side quest and 5000 reward points.

If more than half the team members die, the mission is considered a failure, and 10,000 reward points will be deducted from each person killed.

After the rigid, monotonous voice of the main god in my mind ended.

The two remained in a dazed state.

Because at this moment, everything that appeared in their field of vision was so incredible.

What words can express is far less than one ten-thousandth of what they see now.

Sea level rises by 200 meters.

Is it more than two hundred meters?
An average person could reach the destination in less than half a minute by running in a straight line.

However, when this data is applied above sea level, it becomes a different concept altogether.

Add to that the extremely low temperature of over -150 degrees Celsius.

This has led to the scene before us.

Looking around, everything in sight is gray and white.

Thick, dark clouds were rapidly engulfing the sky at an abnormal pace.

The dense, oppressive water vapor condensed at a certain altitude into pale blue ice crystals that fell rapidly.

Blue-white arcs of light occasionally burst open at the horizon, and tens of thousands of extremely cold frozen streams cascaded down like inverted waterfalls of liquid nitrogen.

Bubbles containing a large amount of oxygen solidify into suspended ice particles.

Even in a certain icy valley, the two could see flocks of birds with their wings spread wide.

However, at this moment they have become hundreds or thousands of ice sculptures.

It has preserved the last vestiges of this scenery from hundreds of years ago.

The ice layer is hundreds of meters thick.

After the translucent white ice crystals accumulated, they turned into the lifeless and deep gray that the two of them saw now.

Of course, if you look closely, you can still find traces of human activity beneath this ice layer.

The "white frost shell" covering the exterior of the skyscraper is actually an "ice spider web" formed by ice crystals seeping into the glass curtain wall after the internal structure was squeezed and deformed.

All of this demonstrates the terror of rapid temperature changes.

And that space elevator, which is right in front of them, is now covered in layers of thick ice, a monument that stood there three hundred years ago.

Once you step out of the space elevator, as the ice washes over your irises, your vision blends completely with the gray and white of the polar region.

The entire planet has become a silent crystal encased in an ice shell.

In Li Xiao's eyes, it was like the silent aurora borealis flowing through the eternal night in a quiet era.

However, their silence was soon broken by untimely cheers.

"Hey, look at Wells, this is almost like the planet Scola."

"Especially this ice cap, isn't it exactly the same!"

"However, I heard that the ice caps on Scola's colony planet are thousands of years old, so they should be thicker than this!"

Reeves, who had peeked out, spoke and then walked out.

Cole and the others also had different expressions.

The people who stepped out of the space elevator were a mix of excitement, nervousness, and exhilaration.

And just as Reeves was pulling Christie forward...

A slender, long sword engraved with countless black lines blocked their path.

This surprised everyone.

It was at this moment that Li Xiao looked up and muttered something to himself.

"Those who are kind do not come; those who come are not kind!"

"Ripley, do you think we can still go back?"

Ripley, who was at the very back and hadn't even stepped out of the space elevator yet, reacted quickly.

Almost immediately, he rushed to the control panel and started pressing buttons.

However, the control panel, which had been working smoothly just moments before, suddenly went black.

Sensing something was wrong, the group looked up and then realized what was happening.

The entire space elevator was completely shut down, with no sound coming from it.

This moment.

I don’t know if it’s just their illusion.

The howling wind suddenly picked up a bit more at that moment.

And it was this unresponsive control terminal and the space elevator that inexplicably lost power.

Just as if he had struck the four mercenaries' speech acupoint, they finally shut their mouths.

One by one, they realized that they were on Earth.

It is the birthplace of humankind that the federal government has deliberately forgotten for nearly three hundred years.

After exiting the space elevator, Revis and his three companions looked around before finally retreating back into the elevator, which had some metal walls on all four sides.

The group stood back to back, entering a state of alert.

this moment.

The biting wind, sharp as a knife, carved natural marks into the icy ground.

Li Xiao looked at Zhao Yingkong.

He said something inexplicably:
"Actually, in situations like this, it's best to just take them with you."

"But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened."

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly as he spoke:
"Forget it, I'm also curious about what Earth has become. I might as well complete the mission while I'm at it!"

Dressed in all black, Zhao Yingkong stared straight ahead and nodded, saying:
"Don't worry, the two of us are enough!"

The task Li Xiao mentioned was not the one recently issued by the main god.

Just like his first sentence, under normal circumstances, you would hear this God's quest prompt.

It can be said that as soon as the main god finished issuing the order, they didn't hesitate for a second. Each of them took three others and ran away on the Green Goblin skateboard.

It's not impossible to fly back to the space station like this.

Unfortunately, things are not as they usually are now.

If Li Xiao didn't know, that would be fine.

But now they've finally encountered a story world that they've created for themselves.

It would be a huge loss not to take what you leave for yourself.

Moreover, Li Xiao also trusted Chu Xuan.

The existence that allows him to be placed in the story world must be useful.

With a flick of his wrist, a large bundle appeared out of thin air in front of Li Xiao.

He threw it behind him.

"Ripley, you should recognize these things in here. Tell them about them. Whether they survive, and how many survive, depends on your luck!"

After saying that, Li Xiao looked up as if she had a feeling.

His eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Because the powerful individual's developed senses made him realize that he was being watched or locked onto by something.

In addition to the cold wind, certain sounds also began to grow louder, coming from afar.
Some voices that shouldn't be heard in this world.

Li Xiao could hear it.

Zhao Yingkong could hear it too.

With his Zanpakuto hanging at an angle, his bare feet stepped onto the ice as he approached Li Xiao.

Where is that robot?

Li Xiao shook his head:

"do not know."

"However, I don't think we need to look for it."

"Because in the plot, as long as one of our identities appears, it will come looking for us on its own."

"So it should have received the message while it was on the space station."

The girl nodded, seemingly relieved. After all, she could kill, but finding things was indeed too difficult.

And this is happening on this frozen Earth.

"That's good!"

"Yes!"

The four people inside the space elevator car are now extremely insecure.

Because ever since Li Xiao threw a package in.

The aura emanating from these two suddenly became strange.

So much so that just looking at the backs of the man and woman made Reeves and the others tremble uncontrollably, and even gave them a faint feeling of death.

(And in Cole's words after escaping, this is the natural suppression of the level of life.)

Fear isn't about you, but about your genes, the things that make you who you are.
Ripley opened the package.

A row of uniquely designed weapons appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Lightsword, energy cannon, and electromagnetic shield."

"It's a bit strange, but it's much better than nothing."

Without saying another word, the female protagonist threw the weapons away.

Reeves and the others hurriedly caught it.

"I could understand the one before, but what is this?"

Wells pulled a bundle of yellow talismans from the package.

Ripley didn't recognize him either, but thankfully Moss was still with them.

"This is a talisman, a Vajra Talisman, a one-time defensive item."

"It can be stored close to the body and can withstand attacks."

Christie looked at Moss:

"By the way, aren't you going to help those two?"

"Although I don't know what's happening outside, I think we're in big trouble, right?"

Moss has not yet answered.

Wells, the tallest of the group, stood up straight and raised his head.

Because a bright orange dot suddenly appeared on the horizon.

Looking straight ahead, Li Xiao suddenly felt a little happy. (End of Chapter)
