Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"Weapons and equipment from hundreds of years ago?"

"So this is the joy of a crushing victory!"

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Li Xiao's lips.

He had only one thought in his mind.

As expected of Chu Xuan!
The reason I say this is because when setting up everything in the world of the story, this person left a backdoor.

That is the deflection of technology.

In Chu Xuan's vision, he has set a lock on the "evolution" of weapons and equipment in all future worlds related to technology.

Nuclear weapons do not exist.

Other aspects of technology, such as biomedicine, interstellar travel, human research, and spiritual consciousness, are completely unrestricted.

The reason for doing this is quite simple.

It's all so that they can reap the rewards more easily.

And these antiques that have appeared now are the best proof of that.

Facing a post-apocalyptic world where weapons development has stagnated.

This is one of the reasons why Li Xiao had the confidence to stay from beginning to end.

"Meteor?"

"But how can it fly backwards?"

"These aren't just popular; they're medium- and long-range missiles!"

Everyone looked at Ripley, who had spoken.

Ripley used a hair tie to comb her hair up:

Without turning his head, he said:
“To you, these should be considered ancient relics from hundreds of years ago.”

Reeves shrugged and nodded:

“I’ve heard of this kind of thing.”

Christie said uncertainly:
"But wait, Ripley, why does this missile's target look like us?"

John, the team's main firepower provider, simply made a basic judgment by extending his thumb.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

"Christie, remove the word 'seems like,' and this curve... the target is us."

"Guys, should we take cover? Find some shelter?"

Ripley gripped the hilt of his lightsaber and stared intently ahead, saying:

"No need, I trust Li Xiao and Ying Kong!"

"I have a feeling that we might witness a battle unlike any other!"

That is, during a discussion among a few people.

The orange-red light spots grew larger and clearer.

Then Cole and Ripley both widened their eyes.

They saw Li Xiao walking forward leisurely right in front of them.

In mid-air, the missile, which was originally curving upwards, suddenly adjusted its angle as it got closer and closer.

The missile, with a high-speed dive and trailing flames and sonic boom, hurtled straight towards the ice field where Li Xiao was located.

As the silvery-white metallic missile drew closer and closer, so close that they thought it would explode in the next second.

A hand appeared.

After this hand appeared.

The object that was speeding along just a second ago came to a complete stop.

Then, with a gentle pat of the hand, the missile made a 90-degree turn and flew to one side.

It burst into flames upon hitting the ground.

Even though it's an antique, the destructive power of missiles should not be underestimated.

The intense heat caused the ice to melt instantly, creating a huge crater.

this moment.

Water droplets floating in the air condensed into fine snow, and the howling wind stopped abruptly, like a frozen transparent ribbon suspended in mid-air.

The scene was incredibly dreamlike.

Unfortunately, it lacked an audience to appreciate it.

Because compared to this scene, the hand we just saw was even more terrifying.

Look backward.

The six people who witnessed what just happened all stared wide-eyed.

Just like Li Xiao's slap just now, it didn't send a metal missile flying.

It's their worldview.

After all, in their eyes, such behavior was no different from Li Xiao slapping a spaceship away.

In Li Xiao's hands, it was like a fly.

What seemed like a miracle to the six men was nothing more than a piece of cake for Li Xiao.

He continued forward at a steady, unhurried pace.

"careful!"

Looking at the dozens of points of light flashing again on the horizon.

Ripley couldn't help but shout it out.

However, Li Xiao was faced with the female lead's reminder.

He simply raised his arm and waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all.

Dozens of orange-red shooting stars streaked across the sky, and at that moment, Li Xiao seemed to have become a turning point.

He maintained his forward stance, neither dodging nor defending.

All the missiles were deflected in quick succession at close range, and without exception, they were deflected into other directions and exploded.

It's as magical as the "invisible refraction field" that exists around Li Xiao's body.

But they knew that only one hand could change the missile.

this moment!
The sheer scale of the missiles (flames, sonic booms, and overwhelming strikes) contrasted sharply with Li Xiao's relaxed and casual demeanor (walking casually and handling situations with one hand).

At least that's how Revis and his group see it.

It's like an adult looking down at a baby holding a paper sword.

No matter how serious the baby is.

It's just a joke in the eyes of adults.

But that's it.

The next moment, everyone gasped and fell silent again.

Christie covered her mouth.

Because countless tiny points of light appeared on the horizon as far as the eye could see.

Hundreds or thousands?

Or perhaps tens of thousands?
They didn't know the exact number, but they did know...

Such an aerial strike.

That's enough to destroy a base city.

"Wait, what's under Li Xiao's feet?"

How can he fly?

"No, it didn't fly, it went up the stairs???"

"Or am I seeing things?"

Facing countless missiles, Li Xiao had somehow already stepped into the air.

As I stepped onto the transparent steps, I grew taller and taller.

Unbeknownst to them...

Standing in mid-air, Li Xiao revealed a genuine smile at this moment.

He actually didn't expect it.

Unbeknownst to me, I had been influenced by my cultivation practice yesterday.

It has actually broken through the limits of the human body.

These superhuman skills can finally be used without needing to enter explosion mode.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that it wasn't just Moonwalk that had made a breakthrough!

As Li Xiao's altitude increased, the missile drew ever closer.

After reaching a certain distance.

The people who were looking up also gaped open once again.

Li Xiao was visible a hundred meters away.

He waved his hand forward.

A streak more than a meter long appeared in the air as it shot away.

As the distance increases, the size and impact of this mark also increase.

When it collides with a missile.

This mark has now become a crescent-shaped slash about four or five meters long.

This single strike took away dozens of missiles.

And this is just the beginning.

Crescent-shaped, moon-white entities began to be released from Li Xiao's hands and feet.

This black figure, like a human weapon, relentlessly unleashed its terrifying slashes. The sky began to flicker with fire.

After the whooshing sounds came a deafening explosion.

The series of explosions caused everyone in the space elevator to go deaf.

I just remember keeping my eyes wide open, afraid of missing a single second.

As this object continues to climb higher, the time when the two come into contact is also getting earlier and earlier.

From afar, all the four of them, including Reeves, could see were countless pens, stars, exploding and destroying one after another.

The figure in the air, which should have been insignificant, now appeared surprisingly powerful.

So powerful that it's like a god.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

When the firelight disappeared.

In the end, only that figure with his hands in his pockets remained in the air.

In the elevator.

"So what is this?"

Reeves has just finished speaking.

Ripley, who was standing next to him, suddenly slapped him across the face.

The mercenaries, who were stunned by what they saw, were all taken aback.

However, Ripley didn't hit them, or rather, his hand was still some distance away from them.

Even so, the swirling air outside the palm of their hand still brushed past the four people's cheeks.

This feeling also surprised the four of them.

Because they understood Ripley's answer.

"It's air, compressed to a certain degree, and then rapidly released in a vacuum!"

"The same principle applies to flying. When air resistance becomes strong enough, it becomes almost solid enough to support the weight of a person and allow them to step on it."

Upon hearing Cole's explanation, the mercenaries understood, as it was based on the most basic principles and common sense, and there was nothing profound about it.

But that's precisely why they found it even more outrageous.

"Wait, how did I sense that?"

As he spoke, Wells patted himself off and realized that his nanosuit had somehow been shut off.

The group looked at the temperature display in the space elevator and then noticed.

Perhaps it was because the explosion in the air released too much heat in such a short time.

This caused a large amount of hot air to accumulate in the space directly below them.

It then recovered to a temperature suitable for human survival.

Although the air here smells a bit like gunpowder.

But both Reeves and Christie subconsciously took two deep breaths.

Just when they thought it was all over.

Before they could even react, a dense buzzing sound began to resound.

The group looked around through the transparent glass of the space elevator and then realized what was happening.

Countless machines around had already detached from the ground.

It was hovering in mid-air, flashing a dangerous red light.

The girl, holding a knife, stood in front of the elevator, looking around at everything.

Compared to the Hummingbird drone of the Zhongzhou team, what appears before them now is an enlarged version.

It's as big as a real-world fighter jet.

These metal machines, mostly grayish-white, arrived at this distance during the brief interval between the explosions.

Although the metal machinery has a strange shape, anyone with common sense can see it clearly.

The four huge circles act on the four corners respectively.

Although it was empty and did not have a conventional propeller.

However, everyone can clearly feel the powerful driving force at play.

It's obvious without even thinking that it must be some kind of cutting-edge technology.

Four turbine-like lift mechanisms give this massive drone tremendous speed and maneuverability.

More importantly, if Reeves and the others weren't mistaken...

These are all armed drones.

Various weapons and equipment were mounted under each aircraft cabin.

Although these pieces of equipment are still old.

But no one dared to look down on them.

The mercenaries exchanged horrified glances, and then...

One by one, the silent weapons began to clang with metallic sounds.

Seeing the gun barrel begin to rotate, the group instinctively wanted to run away.

But the next second they discovered...

These armed drones are everywhere, densely packed, even a hundred meters away.

Even if Li Xiao were to come down and save them now, it would be too late.

Bang!
The first crisp gunshot was like a signal.

Then Revis closed his eyes in despair.

Although John, Christine, and the others knew their chances of survival were slim, they still immediately hid in a corner.

After the sound of gunfire rang out.

The group couldn't help but cover their ears.

But as they listened, they all realized what was going on.

So, he's still alive and has time to complain?

When Ripley opened her eyes, she saw a bullet, as thick as a forearm, emerge from the barrel and hurtle straight toward her.

But before it could even get close to the space elevator, the bullet exploded into a pile of metal fragments midway.

Look down.

On the ice.

The gray-black iron filings formed a perfect circle.

Ripley already guessed what was going on.

Looking up, one realizes that the radius of the area centered on them is several hundred meters.

A huge electromagnetic shield enveloped them.

Reeves and his group were a step too slow.

When the group turned around, they discovered that a huge metal cube had appeared in front of Moss at some point.

A surge of energy was constantly flowing above the metal block.

"Holy crap!"

"This is a battleship-class force field shield? Holy crap. Moss, why didn't you say you had this sooner!"

"you………"

A loud bang interrupted Wells's complaints.

The group looked over.

The blue magnetic field on the transparent shield instantly materialized, causing a large indentation.

This sudden turn of events caused Wells to retract his words.

Because when they realized that the offensive weapons were no longer effective, the nearest drone just charged straight at them.

That loud bang just now was from the drone's self-destruction.

Just when others began to worry.

Explosions rang out again.

This time, however, these large drones did not self-destruct; they were attacked.

Following the sound of the explosion, the group looked over, but even with their eyes wide open, they could only barely make out a dark shadow moving effortlessly around the drones.

At this moment, the dark figure moved like a ghost, weaving through the air beneath countless fighter jets.

Although the figure was so fast that it became blurry, they still recognized it.

The dark figure was the girl who had just been holding the long sword.

That is, Zhao Yingkong.

Her movements were too fast to catch.

And they never pause or think.

Her every move seemed to anticipate the exact trajectory of those gray-white drones.

The towering armed drone looked clumsy and even somewhat ridiculous in front of this girl.

The massive metal body and the guns it spewed out couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.

Each flash of the blade was accompanied by a piercing sound of metal tearing apart.

The sturdy metal snapped like paper and then spun as it fell.

The engine core, flashing a dangerous red light, was precisely pierced.

It instantly exploded into an even larger fireball.

The weapon racks were severed at the base, and the ammunition exploded in mid-air like a string of twisted fireworks. (End of Chapter)
