Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 62 Zhang Jie's Road to Survival

After the friendly match, everyone had a bonfire party in the basement of Zhang Jie's house and had fun for about an hour.

Everyone was very happy, except Zhao Yingkong. She was really indifferent to Wen Lie and didn't even look at him in the eye.

Wen Lie just stared at Zhao Yingkong, wondering when he could get his spoils back.

"Don't look at it, it's not okay to act like a hooligan."

Zhan Lan threw a roasted chicken drumstick towards Wen Lie.

Wen Lie reached out to take it, looked away, and opened his mouth to chew on the chicken leg.

Zhao Yingkong's face was as cold as ice, and he also took a skewer of barbecue from Zhan Lan next to him.

Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong stood shoulder to shoulder, each whispering helplessly, "Don't bother with him. He's still like a child. You know, he doesn't have enough emotional intelligence. He can say anything and do anything. At that time, I really wanted to know why you were so tight-lipped."

Because of the mental scan, she saw everything that happened during the battle, and she saw clearly what Wen Lie did.

Zhao Yingkong had a cold face. It was fine if Zhan Lan didn't comfort her, but as soon as he comforted her, her face became upset. After all, Zhan Lan had seen her embarrassing experience.

"Let me say a few words about today's friendly match."

Zheng Zha took a sip of beer, cleared his throat, and drew everyone's attention to himself.

"Zhan Lan, thanks to the mental scan, you have a good grasp of the timing of casting spells. The only flaw is the shortcomings of the Black Book of the Undead. There are not many useful intermediate attack spells, and the raw materials for summoning are not strong."

"Overlord, your weakness is your lack of strength. The Vulcan Cannon is very powerful, but you can't aim at fast-moving opponents."

"Zhang Heng, you're very capable. Your shooting skills are on par with Zhao Yingkong's assassination techniques. It's a pity your mental state is so poor. Apart from anything else, we're teammates. I can't really do anything to you."

"Wen Lie... your combat skills are very high. Taking into account the four times normal human attribute bonus of your Stand, the God Anubis, you're slightly better than me, without activating the second-level gene lock and using internal energy... By infusing my entire body with internal energy, my strength can be increased by over ten times. If I only infuse it where I need it, I can increase it by two or three times that amount."

Zheng Zha specifically emphasized the effect of B-level internal force, saying that he tied with Wen Lie only because he did not give his all.

In fact, this is exactly the case. To see how strong the B-level attributes are, just refer to Hu Yudi's 80% muscle enhancement and high-level werewolf bloodline.

If he only used advanced Qigong to fight Wen Lie, even if Wen Lie used all means other than the Mobile Church, his chances of winning would only be 40%.

After saving his own face, Zheng Zha asked Wen Lie, "You beat Lingdian and Zhao Yingkong. What do you think?"

Wen Lie thought for a moment and said, "Zero Point is not used to using the Magic Bullet Shooter for sneak attacks, and his control of the magic bullet is not very accurate. Zhao Yingkong, didn't you say you could develop the hidden ability? If you can develop the hidden ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to detect it before your dagger pierces my body."

Zhao Yingkong glared at Wen Lie and said coldly, "I'll develop the hidden secrets before entering the next horror movie."

"Good luck."

Wen Lie shrugged.

This kind of words is acceptable to Zhao Yingkong's main personality. How can it be so easy to develop a C-level skill from a first-level gene lock?

"Although we all have shortcomings, as long as we can trust and support each other and pool everyone's strengths, we can complement each other. As the saying goes, a single chopstick is easy to break, but a bunch of chopsticks is hard to break..."

Just like in a company meeting, Zheng Zha emphasized the importance of unity to everyone.

However, he also understood that this was not a company.

There is no long speech, and it is as concise and clear as possible to avoid making people impatient.

"Let's talk."

The party ended and everyone left one by one. When Wen Lie was leaving, he heard Zhang Jie's voice.

Wen Lie paused and turned to look at Zhang Jie. Zhang Jie stood in the shadows of the basement, his head lowered, puffing away. The straightforward man who had been smiling broadly at the banquet now had a gloomy air about him.

"Xiao Honglu has already guessed my superficial identity. What about you? How much have you guessed?"

Wen Lie said calmly, "That's about right. Your situation was probably an accident. An AI awakening? An omnic crisis? Something went wrong in some essential process? Perhaps it was something like an AI gaining human memories?"

Zhang Jie was silent for a long time, staring at Wen Lie in surprise.

Xiao Honglu only guessed that he was the guide and did not think any deeper. He did not expect Wen Lie's analysis to be so thorough.

Zhang Jie took a deep drag on his cigarette, the smoke lingering on his face. He asked dully, "Then how do you think a bug should avoid being fixed?"

After asking, Zhang Jie regretted it.

He rubbed his face and laughed at himself.

Haven’t you already thought about it?

Entrust the position of captain to Zheng Zha, and then die calmly.

It's ugly to want to live when you are about to die.

"Well, I've actually thought about this."

Wen Lie wondered how Zhang Jie could survive.

After much thought, normal methods would not work because he was just a guide who possessed Zhang Jie's memories.

The simplest way is to start from the soul.

The most difficult approach is to use the 2A-level Yama Blade to separate Zhang Jie's guiding side, which is not really a solution.

Why is it called a solution that is not a solution? Because the guide's body will be integrated into the captain's body, and no one knows whether an incomplete guide can work.

Moreover, the Zhongzhou team will not put together two A-level side plots just to save Zhang Jie.

At least he won't pay, he is not familiar with Zhang Jie.

If Zhang Jie didn't mention it, he wouldn't tell Zhang Jie about it.

In the end, there is only one trick left.

"Wouldn't it be better to just copy the bug's data? Robot-type enhancements, aside from the replaceable outer shell, are just a piece of data inside, and that data can be transferred. Digital immortality, have you heard of this concept?"

"Is this the digital immortality technology that Neal Stephenson mentioned in Snow Crash in 1992?"

In a large laboratory full of science fiction atmosphere, Xiao Honglu, wearing a white coat, looked at the two men in front of him in surprise.

He looked at Zhang Jie with a strange look.

"I didn't expect you to ask Wen Lie for help... It seems my analysis is still superficial... So that's how it is, can the Lord God also have bugs?"

The identity of the guide is a secret that cannot be told to others, but from Wen Lie's attitude and Zhang Jie's performance, Xiao Honglu also analyzed Zhang Jie's actual situation.

Zhang Jie put out his cigarette and said, "I'm prepared to die, but I still want to try to save him. Is that possible?"

Xiao Honglu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not capable of storing human brain memories. The technology involved is too advanced. If I transform my body into a machine... I just need an AI to help me."
