Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 405 Three Questions
To the north of the city, a black mist shrouded everything, its depth and unknown unsettling... But at this moment, this black mist was trembling violently, forced to retreat inward by the black fire rain falling from the sky, as if it would be burned to nothingness in the black flames if it did not avoid it.

The intense heat and fiery rain descending from the sky shifted westward, seemingly intentionally avoiding the black flames. In the darkness, the black flames and black mist gave way to each other, but the fiery rain was incredibly powerful, while the black mist became chaotic as if gripped by fear.

Amidst the rain of fire, two figures faced each other from afar. It was their last sliver of clarity before succumbing to the rage that shifted the battlefield, which resembled a divine onslaught, preventing it from engulfing their respective teammates. The sounds of flesh breaking through the air and blood boiling amidst the flames pierced the agonizing screams and cries, echoing through the empty city.

Although their fighting styles are different, they are fighting in the most ferocious way... Regardless of the outcome, this is the most important battle for each of them since they entered the world of reincarnation!
Outside the black mist, blood and fire raged, and wind and thunder roared, but inside the black mist, a completely different scene unfolded. Countless mutated bodies wearing white masks poured into the black mist without hesitation, breaking through layers of blockade, and then, without stopping, rushed towards the towering Umbrella Corporation building.

Zhan Lan stood in the protective circle of the crowd, silent for a long time, then opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Jie: "It can be confirmed that there are two members of the Demon Team inside, namely a Druid Enhancer and a Shadow Ability User. Their apparent strength is not strong... As for that cultivator, I am not sure about the specific route."

Zhang Jie nodded: "Indeed not strong, but it would be easy for her to break through. As for that female cultivator, she should have lost her fighting ability. At least from my detection results, her spiritual power is almost completely exhausted, and her vitality is extremely low."

“But there are three problems now…” Liu Xi said calmly, “First, although there’s speculation that the Demon Team directly destroyed the Umbrella Corporation, they haven’t done so yet, and the characters in the storyline are still a hindrance; second, their snipers haven’t been dealt with yet, and considering their abilities are similar to Zero Point’s, they are still a threat; third, we still don’t know what role their cultivators are currently playing…”

Zhang Jie withdrew his mental energy from the ground: "That's right, in your words, the unknown is what's scary... This woman was left down there, is she some kind of array eye? But this array... seems to be providing energy and amplification to this black mist."

Liu Xi paused for a moment: "Share what you've detected with him and see if he has any clues."

"Yeah... Holy crap, has the Demon Team gone mad, letting that psychic launcher carry out this kind of suicidal attack?" Zhang Jie cursed as he contacted Mu Xiang.

To be honest, being forced to stay on the periphery was frustrating for Zhang Jie... The Demon Team had been beaten to a pulp, yet they were still causing so much trouble. But he couldn't help but be wary; anyone could see that the Demon Team had no chance of turning the tide, they were already at their wits' end... But if a few of them were to be taken down with them, it would be a huge loss for the Central Continent Team.

"Is this some kind of feint?" Zhang Jie muttered to Mu Xiang, cursing under his breath.

Liu Xi shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. We don't have any experts in mysticism or cultivators among us. The only one who can investigate the situation is you."

"Is it just a negative energy array...?" Mu Xiang's voice echoed in Zhang Jie's mind. "If it were me, I would obviously associate the negative energy array with the black mist, using this as cover to hide other backup plans, such as energy-charged weapons that require negative energy to unleash their full power?"

"Really... Let me sense it again. I can only sense the energy flow and such now." Zhang Jie hesitated for a moment, then cursed in annoyance, "Damn it, it's such a hassle for these people to run away in high-tech vehicles. We've come this far, and we still have to send the two of you along."

Mu Xiang, who was tearing apart a fourth-tier ghost god, suddenly asked, "Are you sure it's just a negative energy array... with no positive energy mixed in? Does that cultivator still have true essence in his body?"

"No." "Am I overthinking it... Of course, this is a deeper possibility. Let's confirm the second possibility first." Mu Xiang's voice was also somewhat helpless. "This black mist should be a two-way shielding magic created by the demon team using a plot prop, the Necronomicon. It's not worth a negative energy array to power it. There must be other motives."

Mu Xiang paused for a moment, then added, "My battle here will be over soon. This guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but his raw strength is still too weak... But just in case, I still need to go after the clone Chu Xuan. If the situation here is alright, you might want to keep an eye on Zheng Zha."

"What's going on? They're fighting fiercely, but I feel like Zheng Zha on our side has the advantage," Zhang Jie muttered.

"I have some doubts... I'll trouble you to make sure the clone Zheng Zha doesn't die in this area. If all else fails, wake Zheng Zha up and remind him." Mu Xiang's voice carried a hint of caution.

Just as Zhang Jie was about to ask something else, the mental connection between him and Mu Xiang was severed!
"Ok?"

Zhang Jie was taken aback, then noticed that Liu Xi's body trembled slightly.

"What's going on?" Zhang Jie asked, turning his head.

Liu Xi's expression turned serious: "The Heavenly Ether... has failed."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Zhongzhou team members changed slightly. They had all witnessed how useful mental connections and the Zhitian Ether were... Could it be that this black mist also had the ability to block these connections?

As if reading everyone's thoughts, Zhang Jie shook his head and said, "Impossible. I can still sense the situation on Zheng Zha's side, and I can also sense the mental energy pollution zone created by the Demon Team... Moreover, severing both connections at the same time basically means..."

"Mu Xiang is in trouble?" Zhan Lan touched her forehead, then said in disbelief, "He can't even be scanned."

Everyone fell silent. This news seemed no better than the black fog blocking communication... and was even more bizarre.

“If, I mean if, he were to be severely injured or even killed by some strange attack, I would definitely be able to sense it, and the main god would not fail to give a warning…” Zhang Jie hesitated for a moment, “but he disappeared without a trace, and even Li Xiaoyi could not be detected by me.”

Just as everyone was bewildered, Liu Xi spoke up: "Let's continue with our previous line of thought; there's no use thinking about this now..."
