Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 402 Pollution
Pulled along by Mu Xiang, Zheng Zha cruised at an incredible speed over Raccoon City. Feeling the howling wind in his ears, and calculating his own speed using bat wings, Zheng Zha gave a wry smile: "You said before... the Demon Team had some high-speed flying vehicles, but now it seems we don't need to worry about that at all."

"That's not right. Even a lion needs to go all out to catch a rabbit... It's always easier to run away than to chase." Mu Xiang shook his head. "Besides, it's Chu Xuan on the other side. If he really wants to run, I won't be able to catch him if I'm not fast enough."

Zheng Zha hesitated for a moment: "The opponent is Chu Xuan... but why do I feel that the Chu Xuan of the Demon Team is quite different from our Chu Xuan?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Xiang smiled. "Weren't your memories erased? How come you still have recollections?"

Zheng Zha shook his head: "I sensed it from your plan... You seem to have directly concluded that Chu Xuan, uh, the clone Chu Xuan will use their teammates to cover the rear and make each team member try to take our people down with them before they die."

At this point, Zheng Zha asked with some doubt, "Would Chu Xuan do that?"

“Not all teams are like us. Different experiences shape different people…” Mu Xiang shrugged. “To be honest, the Demon Team’s trust is clearly focused on your clone, but as a pushover, your clone can’t really hold the Demon Team together.”

"What? What do you mean by 'a pushover'?!" Zheng Zha couldn't help but complain.

Mu Xiang waved his hand: "I'm not joking. In my opinion, the mutual trust among the Demon Team members is at most the same level as Zhu Wen and I... Not to mention Chu Xuan, if I were on the Demon Team, I would make the same choice. When there are not many deep emotional bonds, sacrificing the minority to protect the majority is too much. It is right to sacrifice others to protect yourself."

"Tsk, so troublesome..." The next moment, Zheng Zha yelled, because he had been thrown westward by Mu Xiang, which startled him so much that he quickly spread his bat wings. When he saw a figure riding a Green Goblin skateboard, his eyes lit up, and he flapped his wings and flew in that direction.

He saw himself... It was a clone of Zheng Zha!

Just then, Mu Xiang turned his head to look at the southern sky. Three streaks of light pierced the night sky, shooting towards Raccoon City. One of them exploded in the far south, while another flew south towards the black mist. Mu Xiang coldly watched the third one and saw that its target was him.

"A little trick..." Mu Xiang flew upwards rapidly, his hands outstretched, and an invisible force field filled the sky as he ascended. In Mu Xiang's eyes, the speed of nuclear missiles in this era was still too slow. With his movement, the thick bio-force field touched the missile ahead of time, and then a subtle force deflected it, sending it flying directly to the northwest.

To the northwest lies the Black Gate Bridge in Raccoon City. If the Demon Team tries to escape in that direction, they could very well be affected... After all, without a fourth-tier expert, not everyone can withstand a nuclear bomb.

A blinding light appeared in the northwest, but Mu Xiang paid no attention. Layers of protective force fields appeared, and he rushed towards the northwest.

After a ball of light appeared at the southernmost point of Raccoon City, the voice of the Supreme God appeared in Mu Xiang's ears: "Umbrella Corporation intervened, plot changed, evacuation point changed... Obtain Umbrella Corporation's crimes, evacuate from the Black Gate Bridge with the plot characters, the entire team obtains one C-level side quest..."

[The so-called involvement of the Umbrella Corporation—it's unclear whether this refers to anything specific, or perhaps it's simply due to the effective control methods employed by the clone Chu Xuan… With the south destroyed, the mission conditions change, and is this the opportunity he can seize?]

Although he had considered this possibility, how could he be sure that the Supreme God hadn't simply reduced the restrictions at the checkpoints but still required evacuation from the south?

[By using this tactic to force the main god to modify the mission conditions, he's either gambling, just like gambling on a major change in the evacuation point; or he's done this before and already has some experience...]

Mu Xiang shook his head. Whether or not Umbrella Corporation was truly involved, it wouldn't have much impact here... If necessary, he could even go directly into space and destroy all of Umbrella Corporation's satellites. Besides, with Zhang Jie around, Umbrella Corporation couldn't even threaten ordinary team members.

The real key lies in the new extraction point. According to the main god's habit, both teams should still use the same extraction point so that they can continue to fight.

Of course, Mu Xiang also considered the possibility of different evacuation points... He had to be cautious, because if the clone Chu Xuan was determined to escape, he might actually be able to escape given the information gap.

Mu Xiang's gaze swept across the air. The previous nuclear bomb had not affected the Demon Team, but it had blocked the path to the northwest for a moment... Mu Xiang, who was in the east, did not see the Demon Team's movements, so he could conclude that the Demon Team must have circled around from the west.

The next moment, Mu Xiang rushed westward at an extremely high speed, passing over the heads of the two Zheng Zha without stopping!
Soon, Mu Xiang saw three Green Goblin skateboards flying northwest... But Raccoon City was just too big, and the unobstructed high altitude became their biggest obstacle to escape.

"You guys are really in a sorry state..." Mu Xiang raised his hand and swung his blade, the moonlit blade catching up with the Green Demon skateboarder who was desperately moving forward in a few breaths. Li Xiaoyi roared, drawing his Bieyun Sword, and a roaring purplish-black spirit appeared in the night sky, blocking the blade's edge as the giant blade was swung.

A violent energy explosion immediately followed. The clone Chu Xuan glanced at the energy collision behind him, but made no attempt to protect himself. He pressed down on the Green Demon skateboard following the shockwave of the explosion, and then landed towards the intricate northern urban area.

The blonde girl standing on the Green Goblin skateboard wore a bulky helmet that even covered her eyes. As the energy surged, a protective shield appeared around her, and she turned her head towards Mu Xiang, raising her hand.

Mu Xiang flicked his hand, unleashing a sword aura of thunderous sound that shot towards Li Xiaoyi. At the same time, a blazing light erupted from his eyes, directly striking Amya on the head.

The protective shield began to malfunction, seemingly on the verge of breaking through. Under the impact of the heat vision, Amy was also thrown backward, but the Green Goblin skateboard moved to stabilize her body, then burst into a dazzling tail flame, chasing after Chu Xuan at an even higher speed.

At that moment, a surge of powerful mental energy rushed towards Mu Xiang. Mu Xiang snorted coldly, but did not dodge at all, taking the blow head-on. Amy, who had already rushed thousands of meters away, screamed and fell onto her skateboard. If it weren't for the Green Goblin skateboard's balancing system, she might have fallen off directly.

Mu Xiang merely shook his head slightly before turning his gaze to Li Xiaoyi, who was trying to retreat. This caused Li Xiaoyi's hair to stand on end, and he couldn't help but slash out with his sword.

Mu Xiang met the attack with a slash: "You're lucky to have fought both me and Zheng Zha separately... You can die without regrets, right?"

"Stop bragging just because you're a fourth-tier cultivator!" Li Xiaoyi's face was contorted with rage, and layers of ghostly shadows erupted from his body, forcing the attacker to merely fly backward in the face of that strike. "Next time we meet, I'll make sure your Central Continent Team pays the price!"

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and watched Chu Xuan's figure disappear in the northwest.

[If all the main characters in the story haven't died yet... even if he arrives, he can't evacuate.]

Just then, a deafening explosion rang out from the black fog to the south. Li Xiaoyi laughed heartily: "How about that? Didn't expect that, did you? We directly killed all the characters in the plot through the company's self-destruction. Now, all we need to do is evacuate!"

"Oh, I really didn't expect that. It's a truly unpredictable plan," Mu Xiang said dismissively, but Li Xiaoyi didn't see a hint of surprise on his face.

Looking at the increasingly bright moon, Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but shout, "Aren't you afraid of letting him escape?"

"You're already thinking of using your teammates to draw fire?" Mu Xiang chuckled. "Then why don't you run away already?"

As he spoke, layers upon layers of sword light and energy enveloped the space.

"This is outrageous..." Li Xiaoyi roared, then slashed his own neck with a knife, and purplish-black blood spurted out.

Just then, Zhang Jie's voice rang in Mu Xiang's mind: "That woman is suspicious... Her mental energy erupted in the northwest, creating a zone of mental energy pollution!"

"Can you break through?" Mu Xiang replied in his mind. "I'm asking if it's possible. You should be careful... If something goes wrong with you, they will all be in danger."

“A suicidal attack is enough to severely injure or even kill a mental controller below the third rank,” Zhang Jie said. “Moreover, the mental imprint of the clone Chu Xuan has also been severed by this layer of contamination.”

“He shouldn’t be able to escape… No need to be nervous.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses.
