Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 422 Testing the Waters
The two days of free time passed quickly, and the Zhongzhou team members gathered again under the giant light sphere.

Mu Xiang handed the space bag to Liu Xi: "Inside are the props you can use. There are two Green Goblin skateboards and solid energy blocks inside, which is more than enough. With the telekinetic floating cannons, your mobility will be unimaginably strong... With your combat power, it will be easy to bring the Umbrella Corporation to its knees."

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in us." A smile flickered across Liu Xi's face.

"Didn't I already say that the Zhongzhou team is very strong?" Mu Xiang said with a smile.

He then looked at the group who were poised to go: "With your strength, you'll be hard to threaten unless you send yourselves into the Umbrella Corporation... The plot of returning to the horror movie world will connect with what we've seen, heard, and even done before. You can go directly to the main characters, and there will naturally be side plots."

"I know, I know, you keep saying you're confident while nagging..." Zhang Heng chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll definitely make a fortune and won't let you down."

Mu Xiang shook his head helplessly, and he, Zheng Zha, and Zhang Jie watched as the others surrounded the main god, preparing to exchange for the time to return to "Resident Evil 2".

As Zhao Yingkong walked past, Mu Xiang put his hand on her shoulder: "I know you're about to break through, but don't push yourself too hard... protect them."

"……Oh."

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie looked over with schadenfreude, but Mu Xiang rolled her eyes. She was already being polite by not saying "It's none of your business" or glaring at her.

As a melee fighter, especially one with numerous assassination techniques and skills, Zhao Yingkong possesses a significant advantage in unlocking her genetic potential, making her capable of challenging opponents of higher ranks. Unfortunately, aside from a brief exchange with Zhao Zhuikong in the previous match, she didn't have many opportunities for combat. Otherwise, according to Mu Xiang's estimation, Zhao Yingkong could have easily broken through to the second tier after a major battle.

Given her personality, she would absolutely not want to fall behind... especially since Zhan Lan was the first to unlock the second-stage gene lock.

As the beam of light fell, everyone's figures vanished abruptly, only to reappear in the plaza.

Zheng Zha felt something was off, and Mu Xiang glanced at him: "Want to laugh? We were like that before too."

"Let me explain the situation." Mu Xiang looked at everyone and casually had the main god perform a healing spell.

Zhang Heng scratched his head: "During the two months we exchanged the virus, it didn't spread on a large scale... Come to think of it, I'm starting to doubt whether there will ever be a global biohazard crisis in this world."

“What we see in the movie is just one possibility,” Mu Xiang smiled. “Besides, there’s a conspiracy behind this… If you stop it, you’ll definitely get a very generous reward.”

Liu Xi said calmly, "This is what you need to do next... As per your request, we have already made contact with the characters in the story and provided them with some assistance. Once you return there, we can save a lot of intelligence work and proceed directly there."

As she spoke, she handed the spatial bag back. Mu Xiang had previously placed his phone inside as well, and presumably, much of the necessary information had already been recorded.

“According to Resident Evil 3, the T-virus swept across the United States in just a few weeks after the Raccoon City incident and destroyed the world a few months later.” Liu Xi pondered for a moment, “But we found that the situation was a little different.”

"Raccoon City, magnified countless times, returned to normal, but perhaps due to the excessive nuclear weapons or our team battle, not much virus leaked out. So we didn't encounter a major outbreak, and the main characters had ample time to contact other forces and begin fighting against the Umbrella Corporation." "Unlike in the movie, the main characters evacuated from the Black Gate Bridge, so there was no plane crash or anything like that, and Alice wasn't captured by the Umbrella Corporation... But after searching for intelligence, we discovered that, as you said, the Umbrella Corporation's cloning of Alice didn't begin with this capture at all."

"We destroyed the cloning base in Resident Evil 3, allowing the main characters to acquire this Alice army ahead of schedule..." Zhan Lan touched her forehead and continued, "This made Umbrella Corporation much more restrained, which may be why some schemers dare not continue to cause leaks?"

"Speaking of which, Claire and the others in this world also experienced the Raccoon City incident, but compared to Alice and the others' story, it's more of a side story. So it's quite easy for them to team up..." Zhan Lan smiled, "It's a strange feeling to meet the same people in two different Resident Evil worlds."

Liu Xi said calmly, "It's just that in this world where the virus hasn't broken out yet, the forces that are going after Umbrella Corporation are only driven by profit, whether it's the military or other biotechnology giants... Alice's army can't even make them feel much of a crisis. Instead, it has made some people greedy. If we hadn't given them a warning, they probably would have become the villains themselves before they even took down Umbrella Corporation."

Mu Xiang nodded: "How was the reward?"

"Helping the main characters escape their pursuit is a D-level team mission, which is almost negligible... The real reward is destroying the cloning base, which is a C-level side quest for everyone, and three team members will randomly receive B-level rewards. Killing Dr. Isaac's clone also yields a reward of C-level for everyone and B-level for the main attacker," Liu Xi said.

Zhang Heng chuckled and said, "That's right, I was the main attacker! And I also happened to get a B-level random reward..."

The team members behind him couldn't help but roll their eyes. This guy had been quite smug ever since that battle, constantly saying things like, "I used so much force, how could you still be alive?" "I thought you were pork belly." "Go talk to my telekinetic drones."

“That guy was analyzing Alice’s blood to find a way to stabilize the T-virus, but when we arrived, his research was even worse than in the movies.” Zhang Heng shrugged. “After the mutation, it looks even more ferocious than in the movies, but its level of dementia is only stronger, not weaker, so it doesn’t need any tactical planning at all.”

"If your body can't even withstand a laser net, how could it possibly withstand my floating cannons?"

Long Taobing finally couldn't hold back and kicked him: "You've got it all figured out. Last time you saw a Tier 3 and didn't want to go for it, wasn't that you?! You didn't even need any tactical planning?"

Zhang Heng immediately lost his confidence. He could retort to anyone who dared to criticize him, but Long Taobing was his most precious energy source, so how could he dare to contradict him? So he squatted down and muttered something like, "How can you call it reckless when it comes to floating cannons?"

Mu Xiang then looked through the contents of his phone and laughed, “Then we might have to go back twice more. The first time, I’ll take you to retrieve the T-virus source solution from Umbrella Corporation and personally analyze the situation in this world and the feasible paths… The second time, you’ll go back again and, based on my analysis, bring the whole series to a close, and then collect a hefty reward.”

"What a pity, I really want to go back." Zheng Zha scratched his head. "But if we're going to end the series, the three of us not going will allow you to get more rewards, right?"

Mu Xiang patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay. There are no taboos about stealing the T-virus raw material. Just come and do it... Give Umbrella Corporation a little bit of a shock at the fourth level."

The reason for seizing the T-virus source solution is to complete a closed loop in the cause-and-effect relationship within the Central Continent Team… The gene lock catalyst in Mu Xiang's possession was modified from the T-virus source solution, but it was given to him by the future Chu Xuan. So what will the future Chu Xuan use for modification… that's where Mu Xiang has to snatch it back.

“But before that… it’s our turn to go back to ‘The Terrifying Black Hole’.” Mu Xiang, Zheng Zha, and Zhang Jie exchanged glances and all showed expectant smiles.
