Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 197 Come again
"You don't really want to teach me, do you?"

"……forget it."

Regardless of their internal monologues, Jill, despite being accompanied by Mu Xiang and others, remained highly vigilant. Although still somewhat mentally unwell, the combat awareness honed in the mansion had once again awakened.

Mu Xiang didn't stop her. After all, there was a mission from the main god, and he didn't dare let the characters in the story relax too much... whether it was Jill now, or Carlos and others they would meet later.

Although he said he was going to intercept Hank, Mu Xiang was actually following a route, waiting for the pursuers to catch up... and then they would encounter Carlos.

Blocking Hank's priority is actually very low. Although there might be related missions, Hank is too easy to find... Zhan Lan's mental scan can see the situation in Raccoon City's sewers. At this time, the seriously injured Hank is still hiding and recuperating. Living people and zombies are completely different in mental detection.

Not to mention that Hank needs to recuperate and find his way out before the nuclear bomb explodes; even if Hank's escape speed is the same as the fourth survivor's speedrun record, Mu Xiang can easily catch up with him.

Although Zheng Zha jokingly said he couldn't learn it, he could roughly understand Mu Xiang's thinking... Just as Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan had said before, the plan went far beyond targeting the enemy. Planting hidden agents in various operations, weaving a net to seize profits; connecting clues in the horror movie world, providing convenience for oneself to integrate into the plot... All of these are part of the plan.

The moment they met Jill, the mission from the main god was given to Mu Xiang and his companions.

"Final Escape: Before the Sterilization Operation Act is implemented, escape Raccoon City with the main story characters. Ensure the survival of Jill, Carlos, Alice, and others. For each survivor, the entire team will receive 1000 reward points; for each death, the entire team will lose 2000 reward points. After escaping Raccoon City, the entire team will receive one B-rank side quest."

"One reward point for every 1,000 zombies killed, one reward point for every Licker killed, five reward points for every G-larva killed, 30 reward points for every Tyrant killed, and 50 reward points for every Stalker killed..."

Although no one discussed the issue aloud, Mu Xiang had already analyzed it for them in his mind.

"The Supreme God is really interesting. He repriced zombies and Lickers according to our strength... directly reducing the unit price to one percent of the original. However, the unit price ratio of zombies to Lickers remains the same," Mu Xiang commented.

Zheng Zha couldn't help but say, "So, in the eyes of the Supreme God, the four of us are already a hundred times stronger than the entire team in Resident Evil?"

Mu Xiang estimated the impact of the team wipe and the resulting evaluation reset, as well as Zhang Jie's influence... Then he thought for a moment: "Strictly speaking, well, just think of it this way for now, it's complicated."

"Besides, didn't you guys notice... the Supreme God is playing tricks, you could call it a hint, or you could call it concealment." Mu Xiang smiled to himself. "The Supreme God has already mentioned the G larva, so even without Zhan Lan's mental detection, we should have realized that G William was also an enemy... but why wasn't he listed?"

Zheng Zha bluntly replied, "If we could find out, would we need you to tell us?"

“…I’m sorry.” Mu Xiang almost sighed in front of Jill. “This means that G William is a hidden side story. Leon and Claire are on the protection list, so what about Shirley Birkin, who is closely related to them? As William’s daughter and the future host of the G virus, her background is no weaker than Alice’s. She may also be related to a side story.”

"Anyway, we'll act as the needle and thread, connecting everyone together." Mu Xiang pondered for a moment. "Overlord, the D-level side quest in Resident Evil should be the one you haven't used yet, right?" Receiving confirmation, Mu Xiang felt slightly relieved. This way, Overlord would definitely be able to advance his bloodline to A-level. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to take a D-level side quest from two B-level side quests and only get a B-level one.

Zhan Lan said weakly, "Although I feel like you're complaining about the amount... and although this mission isn't easy for other teams... according to your theory, with you and Zheng Zha there, Resident Evil isn't difficult at all, so we can't expect too much in terms of rewards, right?"

“Yeah,” Mu Xiang said helplessly, “Not every horror movie is like ‘The Black Hole’… The main god has deliberately made things difficult for us. Considering all the factors, a B-level reward for each of us is pretty good. If we really want a huge reward, we have to go back to ‘The Black Hole’, but that horror movie is closed to us. I don’t know if it’s temporary.”

Zheng Zha smiled bitterly to himself: "Even if it's activated, it won't be easy for them to get through, will it?"

"yes……"

Mu Xiang knew that they, who were about to truly step into the fourth tier, had already entered the realm of gods... and the others could not easily get involved.

What really bothered Mu Xiang wasn't the small reward this time... To be fair, it was much better than the Central Continent Team's work on the prequel storyline for Resident Evil 3 in the original novel. That time, the rewards were randomly assigned, there were only three B-grade rewards, and the punishments were far more severe...

Mission failed, three people randomly eliminated?!
If Mu Xiang heard this prompt, he would definitely curse the ancestors of the main god for eighteen generations.

What's truly frustrating is that there just aren't enough side quests... Mu Xiang not only has to consider his own strengthening, but also how to ensure everyone else can leverage their strengths so that the Central Continent team can achieve an overall leap forward. And when it comes to team building, a B-grade reward that would have made him incredibly happy back then is now just something he has to work towards step by step.

Just as everyone was passing through a passageway surrounded by wrecked cars and building walls, Mu Xiang suddenly reached out and grabbed Jill... The next moment, a cluster of reddish-brown tentacles burst through the wall and pierced through a car!
If Mu Xiang doesn't make a move, Jill will be hit squarely by that tentacle.

"As expected..." Zhan Lan smiled to herself. "Although, like Alice, I can't scan William now, I can still scan the Tyrant and the Tracker."

Without Mu Xiang needing to speak, everyone stepped back.

The cluster of tentacles tore open a hole in the wall, and then, a hideous and grotesque body was revealed behind the hole.

“It’s that guy…” Jill’s pupils contracted.

This is the tracker who was severely injured by Mu Xiang earlier, but because his arm was torn off, the regrowth of his limbs became uncontrollable... It was even more extreme than the aberration in the game.
