Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"Don't think about it. This is an unexpected situation for Yue'er. It's obvious that she's blessed by God. We can't think about it in the same way as usual."

Chen Zilong looked at his good buddy who was feeling down and gave him a warm hug.

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to a big meal. You've probably never had the original Three Immortals of the Earth before."

Saito Hajime, his mind still blank, said:

"Three Delicacies of the Earth or Three Immortals of the Earth? What?"

Chen Zilong grinned mischievously:

"Of course it's the immortals. You know, as a Northeastern dish, the original version of Di San Xian (Three Treasures of the Earth) features a Siberian tiger, a black bear, and a sika deer."

It's a pity, though, because my father said he hasn't eaten this dish since November 8th, 1988.

Saito was taken aback: "Uh, why?"

Xiao Honglu chuckled from afar:
"Because on this day, the country promulgated the Wildlife Protection Law."

Upon hearing this, Saito Hajime looked stunned, as he had only just come to his senses.

It's clearly a combination of three vegetables: eggplant, potato, and green pepper, but you're telling me that they were all originally made from meat.

And it's a clearly protected animal?

Looking at Chen Zilong's trusting expression, Saito is probably a culinary disaster.

After Xiao Honglu finished speaking, he and Lingdian returned to their respective rooms.

Because of the sudden rise of the artificial human, Yue'er.

This also reignited the training motivation of all the top players in the Zhongzhou team.
-
The next day.

The sixth day of the Main God Space.

"Remember, fighting is the fastest way to get to know each other and understand one another, bar none."

At this moment, apart from Li Xiao, Zheng Zha, and Zhao Yingkong, there were no other people present.

The remaining members of the Zhongzhou team lost consciousness after hearing Chu Xuan's last words.

This includes three androids: Yue'er, Xin'er, and Loli.

The ten members of the Zhongzhou team lay down in the newly upgraded metal chamber.

Inside the transparent hatch, a strange, pale red liquid quickly filled the space, enveloping everyone.

Compared to the metal capsules used by Jia Le and Jing Jing in Uncle Zombie.

This time, the Zhongzhou team used something more advanced and complex.

Especially the electrical wiring extending from these virtual reality devices.

Compared to before, this time they were all connected to a one-meter-tall brown brain.

It is obvious that Chu Xuan's research, along with the future technology and a prototype robot brought back by Li Xiao, revealed the underlying technology.

There has been a new breakthrough in the field of artificial biological terminals.

The three who were completely detached from the matter also turned their attention to the screen in front of Chu Xuan, which was flashing with countless green random characters.

Amidst countless yet orderly jumbled characters, Chu Xuan continued to set and input them.

It gradually evolved into a unique scene.

Chu Xuan spoke without turning his head as he rapidly typed on the keyboard.

"I think the reason why the three of you lost consciousness from the virtual reality devices is because the fourth-order gene lock entered into a very subtle state."

"Although Li Xiao only entered for a moment with the help of a special prop, some changes should have occurred."

"But this is good too. Even without the three of you, the computing power of these smart terminals is enough to perfectly present the scenario I envisioned."

"Otherwise, given the destructive nature of the three of you, there would be far too many loopholes."

"Alright, let's begin..."

As the name Chu Xuan landed.

On the transparent LCD screen, Zhan Lan and the others appeared out of thin air.

With the assistance of smart terminals and a biological brain, Chu Xuan's virtual world technology has been further enhanced.

This was also an adaptive training session that Chu Xuan arranged for everyone.

After clearly seeing the environment in the picture.

Zheng Zha was the first to exclaim in astonishment:
"This scene? Is it the eighteen levels of hell?"

Chu Xuan continued operating the equipment in front of him, saying without turning his head:
"That's right, what you're seeing now is the first level of the Tongue-Pulling Hell!"

"Nothing can test the human heart more than the road to hell."

"They can only come out after experiencing all eighteen levels once!"

"By the way, this was also one of my gains in the underworld."

Hearing Chu Xuan's calm words, Zheng Zha and Li Xiao exchanged a glance and both gasped.

Then he was secretly glad he hadn't gone, but the next second Zheng Zha's worry appeared on his face.

Because at this very moment, the little girl is inside.

The first level is the Hell of Tongue-Pulling.

Almost at the same time, everyone opened their eyes.

The 100% realistic sensory experience sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

The first feeling was darkness and cold.

Then comes the warning of smell, because the place is filled with a suffocating stench.

Then came the ears.

Because this place is filled with painful groans that permeate the entire space.

After suppressing their panic, everyone looked down.

The ground was covered with sharp stones and potholes, and was streaked with bloodstains left by the dragging of criminals.

And it's nearby.

One by one, the broken figures were tightly chained, their limbs pierced and fixed to the cold stone pillars by iron hooks.

These figures were dressed in tattered clothes, and their skin was festering and bleeding from being dragged and rubbed.

The excruciating pain of their limbs twisting made their facial features shattered and grotesque, their eyes wide open and bloodshot.

And this scene, from top to bottom, inside to outside, near to far, is all...

The scenes were horrifying.

"The Eighteen Levels of Hell, including the Hell of Tongue-Pulling. This is the place where those who sow discord, slander and harm others, are glib-tongued, and use clever words to argue will enter after death."

"It seems that Chu Xuan's battle this time isn't a team battle, but a level-based game!"

Zhan Lan looked around at the surroundings and said with a solemn expression.

Xiao Honglu raised his head: "No, it's not a level-based game. It's a countdown!"

"Look above your head!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and saw a countdown in blood red against the dark sky.

It was exactly five minutes.

Just as everyone saw the countdown, the time began to decrease…

Roar! ! !
Ah!
The previously indistinct sounds began to come alive from that moment on.

"Help me, help me... Waaaaah!"

"No! No! I'll never do it again! I'll never lie again!"

"My tongue, my tongue, no!!"

From this very second the countdown begins, the Hell of Tongue Pulling Officially Begins!
Upon witnessing this scene, the three girls—Loli, Xin'er, and Yue'er—instinctively hugged each other.

Even Zhu Wen was completely stiff.

There's no way around it, after removing the filter.

The impact on them was simply too great.

Zhan Lan, Xiao Honglu, Cheng Xiao, Chen Zilong, Saito Hajime, and Lingdian are all doing well.

But the overwhelming malice still startled them.

It was only at this moment that they saw it.

Compared to the presence on the stone pillar.

There was a big show happening right above them.

Tongue-pulling hell! Tongue-pulling hell!
As the name suggests, the scene described above is unimaginable.

Those who suffered torture recovered their flesh and blood amidst their cries of agony.

It was during this brief moment that they looked at Zhan Lan and the others and sent out a distress signal.

However, those present understood that Chu Xuan wouldn't just let them come here for sightseeing and watching a show.

next moment.

"I rely on!"

Saito Hajime and Chen Zilong shouted this phrase about the national essence almost at the same time.

Because the two of them only felt their trouser legs tighten.

They were then dragged away. When Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu looked over, they saw that two severed tongues that had fallen to the ground had taken root and grown, then coiled towards them.

However, this is only the beginning.

Because more tongues fell from the sky.

After hitting rock bottom, it began a terrifying and unbridled growth.

That is, in just this short while.

The dark red "meat strips" with a bluish coating on them grew longer and thicker.

Finally, it swept over all the members of the Central Continent team.

A dozen or so tongues swept past in a flash.

Some came up empty-handed, while others reaped a great harvest.

Zhu Wen's figure flashed by quickly and she landed on Chen Zilong.

The moment he exerted force with his foot, the tongue that had been wrapped around his ankle exploded.

Leaping into the air, Chen Zilong raised his palm like a blade and slashed at Saito Hajime, who was with him.

It was at this moment that the midnight gunshot rang out.

The flying "meat strips" on the other side all struck a layer of invisible air.

It was precisely the barrier formed by Zhan Lan's mental strength.

But such a barrier isn't 360 degrees, let alone covering everyone.

Just when everyone was focused on their feet.

The person who had been lying on top of someone's head was suddenly put down.

Although their legs and feet were still connected by chains, they were no longer restricted at all.

These people, who were begging for mercy just a second ago, were now filled with jealousy the moment they landed.

"Why, why don't you suffer, have your tongues pulled out? I will pull your tongues out!"

"Pull it out!!!"

At first, it was just a few individuals, but as more and more people were liberated and freed...

The voices surprisingly united.

Finally, they all shouted it out in unison to all the members of the Zhongzhou team.

What greeted them were large characters enveloped in golden light.

"buzz"

"Well"

"Woolen cloth"

The sound of Buddhist chanting became the best answer.

After the deep, heavy sound waves swept out in three directions.

At that moment, the fiery red ground suddenly cracked open, and magma erupted and spewed forth without warning.

The three stone slabs exploded and shattered, sending three figures flying out of the crowd.

One of them was Chen Zilong, who darted out before being hit.

At the same time, Zhu Wen also used her skill to change her appearance.

The other two who were forced to rush out were actually Loli and Yue'er.

Cheng Xiao sat on Yue'er's shoulder.

The little girl's head was covered by Zhu Wen.

They were attacked by countless evil spirits.

Although Chen Zilong did not have the Iron Staff of Free Will, he was still the strongest among the remaining people.

In the molten, tongue-pulling hell, he was like a machine that had mastered martial arts.

Tired and restless.

His figure swayed like a gentle breeze amidst the afterimages of the attack.

The other two figures, though not as impressive, still surprised those who saw them.

The loli possessed by Zhu Wen has extraordinary power.

Although his movements were stiff and unrefined compared to Chen Zilong's, it was clear that he had undergone training during this period.

Moon's approach is even simpler and more direct.

Although it is unknown what Chu Xuan did to this person.

However, at this moment, he is protected by Cheng Xiao's Flame of Life.

The zombie bloodline moved slowly, and all stiffness in its body completely disappeared.

And don't forget, zombies are also considered undead.

Despite her fear and terror in the face of these evil spirits, Yue'er was relieved when she realized that she was completely unharmed.

Then, with a wry smile, he waved to Zhan Lan and the others and simply gave up resisting.

Moreover, as Cheng Xiao's pale golden flames flowed onto Yue'er's body...

What everyone thought was green fur had turned into black downy fur.

In other words, Yue'er's bloodline should now be considered that of a black zombie.

The term "black zombie" doesn't mean the entire body turns black; rather, it refers to a blackened form formed from condensed corpse energy, covered with a thin layer of hair.

At this stage, the zombies are no longer afraid of water or fire, but they still resist sunlight.

However, coincidentally, Cheng Xiao's Flame of Life, being a kind of human essence, is a great tonic for Yue'er.

This also means that even black zombies, with the blessing of the Flame of Life, possess considerable strength.

Just as Yue'er's face lit up with surprise, a demon lunged at her face.

The moon instinctively raised and swung.

Then you see the evil spirit reduced to a cloud of smoke.

Such speed is not only unsteady, but even faster than Qi Tengyi's.

In the God Space, Li Xiao and Zheng Zha were both surprised to see the magnified image of Yue'er on the screen.

"Bloodline degeneration?"

The two looked at each other.

They all know about bloodline evolution, and even take it for granted.

But bloodline degeneration? This is the first time I've ever heard of that.

Zheng Zha asked:

"Is Yue'er now a black zombie?"

"But the black zombie is actually this powerful?"

Li Xiao frowned and said:
"The zombie bloodline already provides a significant boost to power, and with the added boost from the Sky Flame, it's even greater."

"I just didn't expect that these two energies wouldn't conflict, after all, the Sky Flame and the zombie..."

Chu Xuan interrupted, "Do you still remember the Dying Will Bomb?"

"Although Cheng Xiao's enhancement is for the clear sky attribute, which is related to the sun, in my opinion, this kind of enhancement is the same as the enhancement for ghosts and monsters."

"After all, the state of death energy is essentially an undead creature. If Zheng Zha hadn't returned to the Main God Space, he would have had no chance of survival."

"So, I'm not surprised that it can work with zombie bloodlines."

"This is also the fundamental reason why Cheng Xiao was able to create his own skills."

Zheng Zha pressed further, "What about Yue'er's bloodline?"

"Can bloodlines degenerate?"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Bloodlines can evolve, but they can also degenerate, or even be stripped away."

"Because of special reasons, Yue'er's zombie bloodline directly entered the green zombie level, but it is not stable."

"So I compromised and kicked out a part of Yue'er's body that originally existed, retaining only the effects of the C-level bloodline."

Li Xiao nodded: "Okay, at least this way Cheng Xiao and Yue'er can cooperate, which is better than losing control."

Zheng Zha then nodded.

But something just felt off about this person.

Five minutes felt infinitely long to Zhan Lan and the others.

The fluctuating numbers in the sky constantly stirred the hearts of everyone present.

Eighteen levels of hell.

The second level is the Scissors Hell.

Those who instigate widows to remarry or act as matchmakers for them will be sent to the Scissors Hell after death, where their ten fingers will be cut off.

Listening to Zhan Lan's explanation.

Saito Hajime, his scalp tingling as he looked at the various fingers gripping him tightly, shouted:

"Why would someone like this go to hell?" (End of Chapter)
