Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

At this moment, Reeves had no idea what he was about to experience.

Because he may be the first person in history to run into space.

Li Xiao knew that time was of the essence.

"careful!"

"You too."

After saying that, the girl picked up Revis and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The group looked around blankly.

Cole reminded him, "Look up."

Only then did everyone realize.

A blurry shadow flew straight upwards.

Moreover, as the white spiritual pressure beneath his feet continued to erupt, the figure's speed increased.

And then he felt the ground rapidly moving away from him.

Reeves started yelling at the top of his lungs again.

After all, sitting in a metal elevator, even though it felt a bit absurd at the time, was still a vehicle.

Right now, he's wearing a third-hand spacesuit that offers absolutely no protection.

The two experiences are completely different.

And most importantly...

"Ahhhhh, ahhhhhh..."

"Why do we have to go back up right after we just came down?!"

Humans have an extremely strong capacity for habit.

After screaming for half a minute, Reeves, who considered himself a scientist, turned his gaze to Zhao Yingkong's bare feet.

Moreover, his eyes became increasingly fiery.

Reeves is not a foot fetishist.

What excites him and attracts his attention is the energy that he cannot understand.

"White energy that can be stabilized in the air, and the ability to generate impact force by bursting from a single point..."

"Let alone humans, even cyborgs with programmed control couldn't do something like this..."

Reeves had just recovered from his shock and realized the problem, but before he could think about it further...

Then I heard the familiar buzzing sound.

Only after slightly raising his head did he realize what had happened.

And where we are now—these are two of the most important questions in human history.

Reeves clutched his chest and took a deep breath.

I forced myself to break free from the fear of heights and then began to think.

The nervous man muttered to himself:
"By the way, Betty, Cole just said that these drones received orders to destroy the space elevator and the space station."

"The goal was to destroy the Betty."

He kept repeating it over and over.

Reeves then understood his next task.
But it was at this moment that the buzzing sound in my ears began to get louder.

Looking around, he belatedly realized what was happening.

It turns out that this seemingly inhumanly beautiful girl actually made a comeback.

Using that special movement technique, they caught up with the last batch of drones.

And as the distance drew closer, Reeves suddenly realized...

When the external cameras on these drones scanned Zhao Yingkong and herself, they were noticeably slow to respond.

Although the moment was very brief, Reeves understood something.

That means these drones are not just executing commands.

They are being controlled by intelligent life forms capable of thought.

As for whether it's a person being manipulated, or something else...

Then he doesn't know.

Because at that moment, they noticed the two uninvited guests behind them.

The drones have begun their attack.

Despite Zhao Yingkong's performance being so stunning.

However, these drones also had to step in to stop them.

The first step in destroying the space elevator was to sever the space station's connection with Earth.

The fact that "people" can now travel there without using the space elevator clearly triggers their logical paradox.

Therefore, the attack was launched.

"Behind, behind, something's not right!"

Reeves sensed danger as more and more drones broke free of the ascent path and approached them.

However, he soon realized that he had made a mistake.

That is, the danger he sensed did not come from the drones.

Instead, it came from the girl next to him who was grabbing him by the collar.

Because, the next moment.

The drones that followed began to burst into bursts of fireworks as they moved from near to far.

The sounds of explosions filled Reeves' ears.

Amidst the interplay of firelight, strands of light and shadow, reflecting unique patterns, emerged from around him.

And the culprit that destroyed the drone.

They turned out to be transparent crystal knives, each about the size of a finger.

As the girl's figure continued to grow taller.

The surrounding drones began to explode and crash indiscriminately.

But the places the girl passed through.

No drone was spared.

This is an exaggerated attack capability and attack range.

There's also the graceful figure of a young girl flying in her own body.

Reeves felt as if his worldview was being shattered and rebuilt once again.

Compared to when we were watching through the electromagnetic shield.

Being lifted up by the back of the collar and flung through the air by a young girl is a completely different experience.

An experience of walking on the edge of death.

As the head-sized shell exploded, Reeves felt the explosion in his vision begin to reverse.

It wasn't until he realized what was happening that he understood it wasn't a reversal of time at all.

Rather, it was because its speed was too fast, exceeding the release of the bomb upon detonation.

That's why this misconception arose.

"Oh!"

A sonic boom exploded in front of the girl as she rose up.

Revis felt as if his nanospacesuit was screaming in agony.

The powerful wind pressure was making it hard for him to breathe.

Even so, Reeves gritted his teeth so hard he almost broke them, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhao Yingkong's figure did not falter at all.

Her response to the overwhelming swarm of drones and the dense barrage of bullets that instantly covered the entire airspace above was nothing short of an art.

In Revis's eyes, this girl was no longer simply using that energy to accelerate her upward linear ascent.

Instead, it was performing an unbelievable short-distance teleportation in mid-air!

I don't know how much time has passed.

A cold voice rang out in Revis's nearly deaf ears.

"Take a deep breath, tense your whole body, and get ready!"

Upon hearing the girl's voice, Reeves paused for a moment.

Why take a deep breath?
I have a nanospacesuit, don't I?
Despite thinking this in my mind, my body still honestly took a deep breath and curled up as much as I could.

Then Revis saw that all the drones around him, near and far, had their danger red lights on.

Zhao Yingkong stopped attacking and instead focused on increasing her speed.

Seeing this, Reeves already guessed what he would face next.

really.

Not long after the red light started flashing.

Everything in sight burst forth with intense white light.

After realizing that he could not stop Zhao Ying from ascending.

All the drones near Zhao Yingkong and the other person simultaneously self-destructed.

this moment.

Revis's first impression was that it was hot.

Then a piercing alarm blared wildly inside Revis's spacesuit!

The value representing external pressure instantly spiked to the red limit.

At this point, Reeves had completely lost his sense of the outside world. All he knew was to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Uh...ha..." He bit down hard to suppress the metallic taste seeping from his throat.

The immense centrifugal force made his eyeballs feel like they were about to burst.

The suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen gripped his throat.

The immense wind pressure continued to compress his entire body.

Reeves felt like he was being stuffed into a violent centrifuge, on the verge of falling apart.

I don't know how much time passed like that.

When Reeves felt he was dead.

Suddenly, my vision went dark.

My body recovered and regained consciousness in an instant.

He subconsciously glanced back.

In that one glance, he saw a scene he would never see for the rest of his life.

In the dark edge of the universe, half of the gray-white Earth appeared.

And it is on this half of the Earth.

A metallic artifact enveloped by a ball of fire frozen in time.

However, within this ball of fire, there was a hollow, straight line.

It's like a time tunnel.

Mysterious and powerful.

Reeves, being at such a special altitude, had a kind of intuition.

Perhaps this is the path I came from.

Inside his spacesuit, which had regained its stability, Reeves swallowed a mouthful of sweet-smelling saliva.

murmured:

"I never imagined that my worldview would be shattered and rebuilt three times in such a short period of time..."

Actually, after entering the interstellar era...

Reeves no longer feels that his worldview can be influenced by anything.

After all, even the aliens and the alien queen we've seen before are nothing special.

It's just a weapon created through biological modification; in the vast interstellar era, it's nothing special.

Even if an alien appeared, they wouldn't sprinkle water.

As human civilization continues to expand, the possibility of encountering extraterrestrial civilizations has become almost 100%.

Or it's simply a matter of time.

But just a few months ago, in that warship fortress filled with alien creatures...

That was the first time Reeves felt his worldview had been altered, or rather, that his worldview was so fragile.

What the little girl didn't know was...

The door to the medical pod is actually similar to a one-way mirror.

So that was the battle in which the girl willingly embraced death.

The entire process was observed by the mercenaries.

It was at this moment that their worldviews were reshaped for the first time.

Because they didn't expect it.

It is astonishing that such selfish and self-serving individuals as humans can act for the sake of others.

To be able to fight until the very last moment, until death.

This is why they were so shocked when they first saw Moss disguised as a little girl.

the second time.

It was Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong just now.

If you say loli is inconceivable.

Those two are truly beyond comprehension.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they can turn their hands to make clouds or rain.

The third time is now.

Because someone who, in his eyes, was still human, actually relied on their own power.

They climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

We've arrived in space!
Of course, strictly speaking, it can't be considered that yet, but it's not far off.

Just as Reeves was stunned by the sight before him.

"Is your spacesuit suitable for the space environment?"

Reeves paused for a moment upon hearing the voice in his ear, then quickly patted his chest to check.

After confirming that there were no problems, I quickly said, "Okay, no problem!"

After saying that, Reeves felt a heat all over his body.

The scientist then realized what had happened.

"This is the spillway? How much time has passed?"

Overflow layer.

In the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, the temperature rises to a certain limit with altitude.

The air here is in a highly ionized state and can even reflect electromagnetic waves.

At the same time, the air here is extremely thin, and Earth's atmospheric water molecules are constantly dispersing into the starry universe.

Zhao Yingkong's speed was extremely fast after entering the instant-open mode.

Surprisingly, those drones arrived at the Earth's atmosphere before the drones.

Looking at the vast universe filled with radiation, Zhao Yingkong broke through that unpredictable final layer without the slightest hesitation.

That's the time.

While still in a state of shock, Reeves suddenly realized something.

With a flick of his wrist, a cyberpunk-style digital watch appeared on his arm.

A projection appears on the dial.

Reeves' hands were also rapidly clicking through settings.

Then a cursor was projected from Revis's chest to Zhao Yingkong's front.

"Follow the cursor; this is the navigation to locate the Betty."

"I have just remotely woken up Betty and put it into autopilot mode, but the flight path keeps showing an error."

"It seems that the spaceport was locked after the space station was attacked."

"Without the support of the space elevator, the space station will most likely crash directly, and ground communication links..."

Before Reeves could finish speaking, Zhao Yingkong's voice rang out:
"Just tell me what to do?"

Reeves took a deep breath and shouted:

"Destroy the space station ahead of schedule and sabotage the port's entrance and exit gates!"

"Since it's going to be destroyed sooner or later, let us do it. That way, we can save the Betty."

Upon hearing Revis's words, Zhao Yingkong's figure changed along with the cursor in front of her.

The black and white Zanpakuto vanished into thin air before Revis's bewildered gaze.

This time, he was certain that the other party hadn't used the space capsule that Loli had.

"Destroy the space station prematurely...?"

The girl murmured.

Naked and adrift in the void, Zhao Yingkong raised her hand, and a golden short sword, different from the one before, appeared.

Once it was grabbed, it charged at the massive metal structure in front of it.

A linear presence emerged from the tip of the golden blade.

In Revis's eyes, the hard metal was separated as smoothly as butter.

However, this attack may have triggered some kind of energy source.

A sudden burst of intense fire erupted.

However, because there was no sound at all in that vacuum environment.

However, faced with this scene, the girl carrying herself did not hesitate at all, but rushed in directly.

"Binding Path: Six-Staff Light Prison!"

Six pale yellow barriers materialized out of thin air and appeared in front of the two of them.

It isolated the flying debris and sparks from the explosion.

Seeing the commotion so close at hand, Reeves swallowed hard.

However, it was still noted that:

"No, that's not the direction. The space station's port is accessed from the right."

At this point, Reeves had forgotten how sound travels in a vacuum.

But surprisingly, I actually received a reply.

Why take a detour when there's a shortcut?

The sharp answer reminded Reeves of a terrifying truth.

The next moment, words he didn't recognize came from the girl's mouth. (End of Chapter)
