Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 407 Control
"I'm looking for a one-shot kill spot..." Zero darted between buildings, his eyes glazed over. Despite carrying a Gauss sniper rifle, his agility remained unaffected. While maintaining mental contact with Zhang Jie, his gaze was almost constantly fixed on a building in the distance.

However, he wasn't looking at the building's exterior. From his perspective, from his position to the focus of his gaze, all barriers, including the exterior walls, were rendered useless... He could see the figure outlined by the light clearly!

"No rush. If we need him to reveal a weakness..." Zhang Jie muttered, "Xu Lin should be able to launch another feint attack?"

As he spoke, he then directed his mental energy in that direction again. Just as Liu Xi had said, although the demon team's mental controller had lost the ability to contact the battlefield, the barrier she had set up beforehand still existed.

Amya's level is not even as good as Tom's, so she naturally cannot achieve such shielding simply by condensing her mental field... Perhaps only a fourth-tier powerhouse like Zhang Jie, whose mental field covers an extremely wide area, can easily create various shielding zones of different strengths and densities within it.

"So, the two mental controllers of the Demon Team... the weaker one actually enhanced more strange mental abilities?" Zhang Jie said.

Liu Xi said calmly, "It's a very simple principle. Since she can't use her superhuman strength to make bricks fly, she can only make her play a more effective role through more diverse abilities... For example, this kind of suicidal mental pollution, according to you, can even cripple weaker hostile mental controllers. However, it seems that this dignified exit is also to cover for the others."

Everyone nodded in agreement, including the clone Chu Xuan who had retreated, and Nochard who was lurking nearby... The latter was specifically targeting them. It could be said that even though the Demon Team had been defeated, they still wanted to drag others down with them.

This angered the members of the Central Continent Team, but it also fueled their fighting spirit even more... They're already running away, why do they want to drag others down with them? They might as well not run at all!

“Sending Xu Lin over there wouldn’t be much of a difference… The enemy sniper has already been hit twice. Expecting him to make another stupid mistake would be a mistake on our part, no matter the outcome.” Liu Xi pondered for a moment. “Let’s wait until midnight. We just need to get our defenses set up.”

Long Taobing and Qi Teng exchanged a glance, then each activated their defensive measures. Holy light formed a shield around them, with faint rays of light seeping into their bodies, serving as both a shield and an enhancement to their physical forms; meanwhile, amidst the Elvish chanting, free energy transformed into a pale green light shield, attaching itself to the massive telekinetic barrier.

At the same time, the group pretended to walk into the Umbrella Corporation.

“The enemy sniper used a teleportation item before, so we’d better kill him here, otherwise there will be more complications later,” Liu Xi said. “So don’t try to break that entangled mental field, we’re not sure if he will just run away.”

Ba Wang chuckled: "Then why not let Zhang Jie control him directly?"

"You're overthinking it. I can't use my Eye of Suggestion or mental power to directly invade from this distance..." Zhang Jie said helplessly. "Otherwise, wouldn't a fourth-tier mental power controller be invincible? ...If they could control all your team members from a distance, how would you fight them?"

Zhan Lan, who had been keeping her eyes closed, spoke up: "That's right, that's why we need to use my spirit puppet to transmit spiritual power and the power of the Eye of Suggestion... I sensed it, and that lustful man's ability is to use spiritual power to merge into or create shadows, and he can also pull others in, and he has good spiritual abilities. In that case, we can totally let him drag his teammates in."

Liu Xi thought for a moment: "No problem, how far can you go?"

Zhan Lan smiled and said, "Because he is now under my control, I can use stronger mental power to make him create stronger shadows... After the Druid male transforms, it seems that his main ability is physical, so he should not be able to break free."

Inside the Umbrella Corporation, François, forced to retreat steadily against countless white-faced monsters, could only loudly curse Frodo for deserting the battlefield. Faced with this onslaught, François had no choice but to abandon his bear transformation and fight in the form of a giant wolf. This wolf was far more agile, dodging numerous attacks from the white-faced monsters with its swift movements. A powerful gust of wind could even slice off half of a weaker monster's body. Even so, as long as these monsters weren't completely reduced to mincemeat, they would continue to attack in their bizarre forms; their ferocity terrified even the members of the Demon Squad.

A fierce glint flashed in the giant wolf's eyes. According to Chu Xuan, if it could no longer hold on, it should press the controller in its hand, and Kane, who remained at Umbrella Corporation, would naturally activate the self-destruct mechanism. In this way, the punishment for killing a plot character would not fall on the Demon Team.

"Damn it, the Middle Continent team hasn't come in either... If Frodo, that coward, were here, he might be able to pull in a Middle Continent team member, and we wouldn't have to worry about them not coming to the rescue."

Just as the giant wolf was about to transform one of its paws into a human hand, a shadow descended from the sky. Francis recognized this manner of appearance and knew that Frodo had used a specially created shadow, and was serious.

"Good lad, I thought you'd run off somewhere..." Seeing that the shadow had enveloped more than ten menacing white-faced monsters as soon as it landed, Francis's anger turned to joy.

Did I misunderstand him...? Was this kid preparing a powerful move?
"Quickly, quickly, bring one of the Central Continent team over here too!" The giant wolf head spoke in human language, and just then, the powerful magical shadow swept towards him.

François roared, "Are you crazy?"

But he only had time to curse once before the giant wolf was swept into the shadows and disappeared into the muddy darkness.

Normally, it wouldn't be impossible for Francis to break through the shadow... Once pulled in, Frodo couldn't harm him, and his struggles would only exacerbate the shadow's collapse and the depletion of his mental energy. Unfortunately, the mental energy that created the shadow came from Zhan Lan and the others.

His body will be attacked by those white-faced monsters in the shadows, and the mental power from the Middle Continent Team will not let him go either.

Zhan Lan, who was waiting outside, said, "Found it. It seems that this druid is more important than that lustful man... Chu Xuan mentioned the charged shrinking bomb during their war meeting. Hmm, I'll check his memories."

Zhang Jie's expression darkened slightly. Sure enough, the clone Chu Xuan had left a backup plan... While they were searching for ordinary lethal weapons within the Umbrella Corporation, they discovered that such an even more powerful weapon existed.

“So this is the weapon associated with the negative energy array…” Zhang Jie muttered to himself, then looked at Zhan Lan, “Let me take a look too. Maybe he’s seen something like this before. It’ll make it easier to find. All the weapons buried in the Umbrella Corporation have energy flows to confuse them. It’ll be faster to find them this way.”

Zhan Lan nodded: "I've shared this memory with you..."

Zhang Jie frowned as he examined François's memories and searched through the various layouts within the Umbrella Corporation. Finally, his brow relaxed: "Found you!"
