Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 400 Tacit Understanding and Smoke Screen

Li Xiaoyi remained silent for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just go with you. Zheng Zha alone can't handle two fourth-tier experts, can he?"

Chu Xuan didn't say anything more, but made requests to the others.

What Li Xiaoyi didn't realize was that after the power of the author and the snake was blocked, the overly absurd cheat codes no longer made sense... That's why Peng Qiu unfortunately fell into a coma due to overload at the most critical moment, and that's why Chu Xuan lost his ability to use the power of belief almost without limit.

Furthermore, the fact that something like the Netherworld Blood Sea Array could be used by a Foundation Establishment stage array cultivator is already quite absurd... Do you really think that any random cultivator you grab is the Great Lord Wu Ming?
In this situation, Peng Qiu's value is not only less than that of Amya, the mental controller, but even less than that of Nochard... At least Nochard's special bullets were preserved, which is somewhat different from abilities that require the author to constantly provide supporting details.

"The two plot characters who were previously mixed in with the attack helicopter formation... Carlos and Angie, should have already been shot down." Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses. "In fact, sending them out wasn't to hope that the Central Continent Team would mistakenly kill them and incur a 20,000 reward point penalty... They shouldn't have made such a basic mistake. This incident shows that their mental power controller is quite powerful, and the Central Continent Team also understands how to circumvent the Main God's judgment..."

“But this also makes our evacuation easier, as we have tacitly eliminated the two plot characters. Now, an important issue is how to deceive their mental controllers…” Chu Xuan looked at Amya, “You and Tom have already filled your helmets with mental energy. If you’re willing to pay any price, you can confuse the shielded area with our actual location.”

Amy nodded, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, even if your mental strength is broken, we will still have time to return to the Main God Space." Chu Xuan said indifferently, and the "don't worry" he said in this tone was even more terrifying.

"As for the characters in the story, they can stay with the Umbrella Corporation and let them die in the Umbrella Corporation's self-destruction... The main missions during team battles, unless otherwise specified, will not be punished even if they fail. At the same time, they can also make the Central Continent Team have something to worry about."

"The rest of you, carry out your tasks as previously arranged."

Zheng Zha had been listening to everything silently, but now he spoke up: "I am not willing to sacrifice them for our escape."

"So?" Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses.

Zheng Zha took a deep breath: "I will protect the retreating team, but I will cover your retreat when they catch up... You said that in the face of a huge difference in strength, strategy is just a minor trick, right?"

"So, the current situation is ultimately due to my lack of strength... This is my dereliction of duty as captain and the strongest, so I shall pay the price."

"If you insist on it..." Chu Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Um, what should we do with Alice?" Li Xiaoyi asked. "You let her in from the beginning. What if she tampered with Umbrella Corporation's system and became a threat to us?"

Chu Xuan shook his head: "First of all, if there's any tampering, I can detect it directly... Secondly, the Umbrella Corporation here alone can't pose much of a threat to either of us. And don't forget our mission; we're not on the same side as the Umbrella Corporation..."

“That’s why the clone Chu Xuan wouldn’t kill Alice… Although he doesn’t know our specific mission, it’s easy for him to deduce that we don’t conflict on this issue.” Mu Xiang took his glasses from Zheng Zha, put them on, and continued, “This is an understanding we had from the beginning, otherwise how could Alice have broken into the company?”

Seeing Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha switch back their glasses and storage items, everyone looked somewhat puzzled. However, hearing Mu Xiang's explanation, they were confused: "But what benefit does this bring to the Demon Team?"

“Because he’s unsure about our mission… In his view, sending Alice back might be a trap. If he were to harm her, it could jeopardize the completion of their mission.” Mu Xiang shrugged. “It’s a matter of information asymmetry. After learning about their mission from Zhao Zhuikong, I became even more certain that he wouldn’t touch Alice.”

"If this is my bait, then it will likely lead to a problem: they won't be able to complete their mission and leave Raccoon City... then they're doomed."

Zheng Zha shook his head, still somewhat unsettled after realizing that Zhang Jie had erased his memories: "Uh, so what will he do next?"

“If he really is Chu Xuan, he wouldn’t obediently follow the main god’s requirements… otherwise their annihilation rate would be unimaginably high. He should know that their mission conditions have been leaked.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “But in order to keep us foolishly tied down, he will likely maintain the status quo and not touch Alice.” “Huh? They’re not running away?” Zheng Zha was stunned.

"Run! Let them run away. Then, when we go to Umbrella Corporation to pick up the characters, we'll just blow up both the characters and Umbrella Corporation." Mu Xiang chuckled. "Don't look at me like that. I would have done the same... Anyway, the order to blow up the company came from the higher-ups at Umbrella. I can't be held responsible for the God of War, can I?"

"This only means losing some rewards, but it allows the team to escape by taking advantage of an information gap. Why not?"

Zhang Jie was taken aback: "The Supreme God wouldn't issue a mission that guarantees certain death, right? They'll just change the evacuation conditions, making it much easier for them to escape."

Mu Xiang nodded: "So, before, not touching Alice was our tacit agreement, but now not touching Alice is just a smokescreen... We can't follow the original method and wait for them to retreat to the south. We have to change our approach."

"It's a pity that things happened so suddenly that we couldn't save Carlos and Angie... After they were killed by the attack helicopter squadron, it actually benefited the Demon Team more." Mu Xiang said, "If they had fallen into our hands, we could have almost locked down the Demon Team, preventing them from completing their mission and evacuating."

Zhang Jie scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. It was indeed a sudden turn of events. To prevent someone from the Central Continent team from accidentally killing the two characters from the storyline, he only had time to control the pilots of the two attack helicopters. He thought it wouldn't matter as long as he didn't lose points, but he hadn't expected to overlook this detail, which gave the Demon Team an opportunity.

"Zhan Lan, can you still monitor them?" Mu Xiang asked Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan shook her head: "They took precautions to prevent any tampering with the characters in the storyline, and used their mental power to block their conversations... Forcing a breakthrough might alert them."

"Well, use that trick when the time is right." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "There's a good chance they'll abandon the characters and run away. If the characters get separated, then use that trick."

"Okay." Zhan Lan smiled, closed her eyes, and continued to probe the situation in the direction of the Umbrella Corporation.

Xu Lin's face was somewhat pale, and when Mu Xiang turned his gaze to him, he nodded.

"You've worked hard. How much time do you have left?"

Xu Lin thought for a moment: "Zhu Wen's necromantic aura is enough to keep me moving for an hour and a half, while the amplification from the Celestial Spear can give me an extra half hour or more of movement."

"It's alright... about what we expected. It's already more than four times the initial time of the undead sealing." Mu Xiang thought for a moment. "Then we can prepare to set off. Let's set the time at two hours... it won't take long on the road."

On the road leading to the Umbrella Corporation in the north, there were countless monsters, each with a white mask covering its face... They were either victims of a plane crash or wandering zombies, but after being covered with these half-finished masks from the Polar Day Society, they became puppets at Zhang Jie's command.

Each monster possesses at least Tier 1 strength. While they cannot threaten the strong, their goal is to wipe out the ordinary forces sent by the demon team, thereby threatening their weaker members.

"Disperse them. One group will openly attack Umbrella Corporation, while the other group will be shielded by mental energy. Use telekinesis to throw them in other possible escape routes..."

"The Demon Team now has four dead, and the difference in combat strength among their regular members has been completely eliminated... We also won the first half of the game. Be aware of their possible counterattack, and report any unusual activity you notice..."

"Wipe out the Demon Team within two hours!"
