Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Zheng Zha looked around and clenched his fists as he spoke.

"If everything goes well after this team fight, then revive everyone at once!"

"Zhang Heng, Mingyanwei, Wang Xia."

"Then I will enter the Harry Potter world and train my fourth-stage genetic lock!"

"Until you have complete mastery!"

"Chen Zilong, if the reward points allow, I hope you can join as well. Among the three of us, your Great Grade Celestial Immortal Technique is progressing the fastest. With enough time, you will be able to achieve complete mastery and condense your Golden Core."

"Besides me, Li Xiao, and Zhao Yingkong, he is also the one most likely to unlock the fourth-order gene lock."

Standing beneath the Supreme God, Chu Xuan nodded in agreement:

"The plan is fine, but we'll have to see how the team fight goes next."

Chu Xuan had just finished speaking, as if it had been planned beforehand.

Several beams of light descended from the sky.

The solemn and dignified voice of the supreme deity rang out once again.

"Enter the pillar of light within thirty seconds. Target locked. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone... Initiating teleportation..."

Before losing consciousness, Li Xiao even overheard Zheng Zha's conversation with the little girl.

"What benefits did Chu Xuan mention again?"

"The advantage of the first part is that there are many side stories, and the other team is also entering for the first time."

Zheng Zha nodded: "I just don't know how much earlier they'll arrive."

"Hopefully it's not too exaggerated."

In fact, when Li Xiao learned that the next horror movie would be set in the Harry Potter world, he immediately thought of the original Lord of the Rings world.

The two are quite similar.

The battle for the Ringwraiths in the Lord of the Rings world.

In the Harry Potter world, it is the Second Wizarding War.

Simply put, both are battles between good and evil.

Moreover, it is an existence on the scale of a war across the entire plane.

The various reincarnation teams were naturally placed between the two sides by the main god.

It is a weight used to balance the power.

This is the only thing Li Xiao, with his current level of intelligence, could come up with next.

Best results.

Since they entered last, they must be the strongest team, and they will win big.

The worst outcome would be, as Zhan Lan predicted, the entire team would be wiped out.

Zhu Wen returned to the Main God Space ahead of schedule, and then the Zhongzhou team underwent a major reshuffle.

As for myself, I'm afraid when I open my eyes again, I'll be on the resurrection altar in Hamunaptra.

But what Li Xiao couldn't understand was why this Harry Potter world was the first one!
It's important to understand that compared to The Lord of the Rings trilogy...

There have been seven Harry Potter movies to date.

The only difference between the two is that the time span is too long!

……………：
Inside the golden light shield.

In his half-awake state, Zheng Zha suddenly sensed something.

But it's hard to explain, it's as if he saw himself.

Then it was as if I had awakened myself.

Zheng Zha didn't understand until he came to his senses.

It's probably because the fourth-order gene lock has been unlocked.

It seems like I "woke up" earlier!
Moreover, Zheng Zha had another feeling.

Perhaps when I take another step forward...

At that time, during the teleportation by the main god, I will no longer lose consciousness...

The first thing Zheng Zha did when he opened his eyes was to look around.

Just as he had expected.

I was the first one to wake up.

While the surroundings are safe.

Zheng Zha breathed a sigh of relief after collecting the three still unconscious girls.

After all, he didn't want to experience the same scenario as in Alien 4 again.

The order in which the Zhongzhou team members woke up was Li Xiao, then Zhao Yingkong.

Chu Xuan, Chen Zilong.

Xiao Honglu, Zhan Lan.

Zero o'clock, Zhu Wen, Saito Hajime, Cheng Xiao.

Yes, the one with the worst physical condition in the Zhongzhou team right now is Cheng Xiao, who has been enhanced with a B-level Rainbow Child.

The first thing everyone did upon opening their eyes was to look around and observe their surroundings.

Li Xiao glanced past Zheng Zha, who was dragging the Demon Refining Pot, and looked behind him.

This is a bustling Western-style domed building.

Compared to Chinese palace architecture, Indian geometric architectural styles are also contrasted.

This is a phenomenon unique to the West, or more specifically, to Britain.

The thick stone walls, the narrow windows, the semi-circular arches, and the most prominent features are the pointed ribbed vaults and flying buttresses.

Li Xiao was not surprised to see this, after all, most of the Harry Potter story takes place in this country.

This is an indoor building with an area of ​​over 200 square meters.

Because the windows are so small, the lighting is dim even during the day.

They relied on the only candlesticks on the surrounding walls for light.

But even so, it couldn't stop the cheers and conversations from the surrounding crowd.

Each of them was holding a liquid of various colors and smells.

These people were also dressed very elegantly.

Jackets with thick shoulder pads, brightly colored shirts and dresses.

A well-tailored black and gray suit, a cane, and a wide-brimmed hat.

And of course, there are those unsettling men's stockings.

Their Zhongzhou team of eleven was right in the middle of the building's lobby.

However, the crowds moving around them deliberately avoided their location.

It's as if we can't see them.

As a result, a large area was strangely empty inside this originally crowded building.

Besides the eleven senior reincarnators.

There wasn't a single person on the ground this time.
Zheng Zha, having seen it clearly, looked at everyone in surprise, for everyone was astonished upon discovering this.

This appears to be the first time they haven't had any new players, especially during a team battle.

Zheng Zha came to his senses:
"Wait, no new recruits?"

So, this time the difficulty level is for eleven people?

"No, including Brother Jie, is it twelve people? Or less than twelve?"

"That's not high at all..."

Li Xiao, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement:

"Perhaps it's because the two veterans, Li Ru and Zhang Heng, died in the previous horror film, so the difficulty of the main god has been reduced to some extent?"

"Or perhaps it's because they entered last that the main god didn't arrange for any newcomers?"

Zhan Lan, who was standing next to her, looked away and nodded in agreement: "That's the only possibility."

Zheng Zha wanted to say something more, but just then, the voice of the Supreme God unexpectedly rang out again, interrupting him.

The next audio broadcast left all eleven people present stunned.

The teams from Japan, South Asia, North Africa, and East America have already entered the world of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone...

Killing members of the opposing squad who haven't unlocked their gene locks earns you 2,000 reward points and one C-level side quest.

Killing members of the opposing squad who unlocked the gene lock grants 7,000 reward points and one B-level side quest.

One point is deducted for every team member killed...

Killing any member of another team scores one point...

The final score multiplied by 2000 will be the reward points for the remaining members of both teams. A negative reward point count will result in elimination.

After the deity finished speaking this long speech, everyone froze in place.

Even Chu Xuan, the brains of Zhongzhou, didn't speak up immediately, but instead adjusted his glasses.

"One, two, three? Four???"

"Including our Zhongzhou team?"

"So there are... five???"

The last two words were already distorted in tone.

After shouting, Chen Zilong coughed twice.

Then everyone, including this person, looked at the three intelligent people in the group.

Zheng Zha was the first to lose his temper.

With an expression of utter disbelief, he said:
"What? How come there are five teams?"

"Besides us, four others have already come in?"

Zhan Lan quickly looked at Captain Zheng Zha and asked:

"Did the permissions granted by the Supreme God mention any restrictions on the number of team battles?"

"Or perhaps there are some aspects where there are no written prompts?"

Zheng Zha quickly shook his head, because if such a situation existed, he would have said so already.

Zhan Lan then sighed:

"It seems to be another game with a loophole in the text. The main god has never said that team battles can only have two teams."

"Or rather, given the right circumstances, it is entirely possible for the God to put ten teams, or even all of them, into the same horror movie at once."

Zheng Zha, the captain who was slow to realize the truth, nodded bitterly, because it was indeed the case.

"When the Celestial Team appeared in the Mummy, I thought it was because they used special items, which is why there were three teams."

"But now that I think about it, the Indian team wasn't surprised, which means they must have known about this all along."

Zheng Zha was stunned as he spoke, because he suddenly thought of something he couldn't have imagined.

But someone must have already guessed it.

Just as Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan.

He skillfully took out a metal Rubik's Cube from his hand and threw it at everyone's feet.

The metal cube shattered upon touching the ground, and projections began to appear.

The other person spoke up at the same time: "Instead of discussing this issue, let's take advantage of the absolute safety now to analyze the four teams that entered early."

"The good news is that there are five teams in total, and as the last to enter the horror movie, we are the strongest according to the main god's classification."

Moreover, this time there were no newcomers to drag us down, which, to some extent, meant that the main god made things easier for our Central Plains team!

"There are already eighteen teams known in the entire God Space."

Of these eighteen teams, I'm certain that only the Celestial Team and the Demon Team, which we've encountered before, can rival the current Central Continent Team, and there's even a 70% chance we're stronger.

"Let's leave that aside for now."

"Based on the names of the teams we've come into contact with—the Japanese team, the Indian team, and the Central team—as well as some information from the mummy."

"The division of teams in the Main God Space should be based on continental plates."

"Or it can be named based on geographical scope."

As Chu Xuan spoke, he waved his hand.

The projection in front of them began to change, and a world map divided into sixteen pieces appeared before everyone.

"The Japanese team, needless to say, is an old friend, but I suspect their players have probably undergone a major overhaul."

"After all, if they still had the same strength as before, they definitely wouldn't be the first weak team to enter the Harry Potter world."

"That's right, they're a weak team!"

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some of these people are not our old friends, or that they possess some legacy from the previous team."

"Wait, wait. Stop!"

Zheng Zha interrupted.

"You mean to say that these four teams didn't come together?"

"There's also a time difference?"

"And how did you know the Japanese team was the first to arrive?"

Chu Xuan said calmly:
"Although I have never met the Japanese team, I have analyzed the records and video footage from the Rim of the Pacific."

"In addition to the God's consistent style in these team battles, I think there is a time difference among the five teams, including ours."

"The order in the announcement just now represents the order of the landing."

"Because the Supreme God will not allow several teams of varying strengths to simultaneously descend upon a horror movie."

Zheng Zha nodded in agreement. He understood this point: if there was a difference in strength, and they arrived at the same time...

Even if it's not the same location, there are still many variables involved between the two or even multiple parties.

Chu Xuan continued the previous topic.

"The Nan Yan Zhou team, as the name suggests, comes from the south, a hot region?"

"If that's the understanding, then there's only one place I can think of: the southern African continent, near the Gulf of Guinea."

"As for the Arctic team, it's a colder region in the north, like North America or Canada. It should be about the same."

"Then the remaining East American team should be from the eastern United States and the surrounding area."

Looking at the image projected with its approximate area defined, I saw...

Chen Zilong nodded: "We are ranked first in the country, so it is only natural that they are not as good as us."

"Not to mention, the impoverished and backward Nan Yanzhou team."

Zhan Lan patted her forehead and shook her head, saying:
“A nation’s strength is a nation’s strength, and it cannot be divided according to your method.”

"However, under certain circumstances, a powerful nation can also easily produce a powerful reincarnation squad."

"After all, even we initially benefited from the country's support."

"But it's true, apart from the gods and demons, our Central Continent team should be ranked third in the Main God Space."

"But team-level competitions aren't fair. Who dares to say that there aren't any top players in the Nan Yan Zhou teams?"

“I don’t think Zheng Zha is the only one with special characteristics. There are so many main god teams, there are bound to be variables.”

"Especially in this reincarnation world with enhancement attributes, where you can continuously become stronger."

Are developed regions always better than less developed regions? It's probably not that absolute.

Chu Xuan continued speaking:
"In fact, the form of the superstructure is determined by unlocking the genetic lock and by the people who have the potential to unlock it."

"And population is the primary factor."

After saying that, Chu Xuan looked down at his watch.

Only now did Li Xiao and the others realize what they had forgotten, and they all lowered their heads.

In fact, team battles, especially in situations like this where five teams are in a state of extreme chaos, are common occurrences.

It's hard to say who will win or lose.

After all, the God Space has just too many skills and items.

Any unexpected event has the potential to turn the tide.

Even if you manage to wipe out a team, you'll still gain a lot of side quests and reward points. (End of Chapter)
