Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 93 Visiting
Before sunrise, Zhan Lan finally woke up after receiving various medications and Buddhist prayer wheels.

Zheng Zha squatted down beside her. Seeing that Zhan Lan had woken up, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then suddenly grabbed her hand and shook his other hand vigorously: "Do you still recognize me? What number is this? What number is this?"

【Huh? You're just trying to ease the awkwardness like that?】

Zhan Lan was stunned for a moment, then pushed him away, rubbing her forehead and saying, "I haven't become an idiot... so don't talk about me like that, you idiot."

Seeing that Zhan Lan was not cooperating, Zheng Zha blushed, then stood up and bowed to Zhan Lan.

"What are you doing? I'm not dead..." Zhan Lan said irritably.

Zheng Zha had no intention of changing the subject or easing the awkwardness. He said earnestly, "Thank you for saving me... I will never forget this kindness, my friend."

Zhang Jie started whistling, which pulled the atmosphere back from becoming awkward.

Zhan Lan blushed slightly, but still touched her forehead and smiled, "You're being too polite... We were all quite startled at the time. But in the end, everyone was alright, isn't that the best thing?"

“Yeah… saying it like that makes us seem less like partners.” Mu Xiang clapped his hands and laughed. “We’ve been through thick and thin together, thanking each other for so long, who knows when we’ll stop thanking each other? We’ll have to keep giving Zhan Lan resources when we get back, Zheng Zha, you can share more with her then.”

Zheng Zha nodded vigorously, then stood up and bowed to the Zhongzhou team: "I'm sorry, everyone... as the main combat force, I failed to grasp the priorities. Although I didn't know the mechanism of this curse beforehand, I was the one who fell for it and failed to play my due role, putting everyone in a dangerous situation. I'm sorry."

The other veterans were all taken aback, and then Zhang Jie hurriedly said, "Zheng Zha, don't blame yourself too much... You said it yourself, no one knows the principle of the curse. Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan didn't expect this kind of attack either, did they?"

“No…” Zheng Zha shook his head and said sincerely, “As a member of the team and a key combatant, I must remember my responsibilities… First and foremost, I must be responsible for my teammates and use my strength and energy to protect everyone. Chu Xuan is right, excessive kindness may seem harmless to me, but it is not a good thing for everyone.”

Zhang Jie wanted to say something, but Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Zheng Zha doesn't need comfort... If we keep comforting him when he changes his mind, it will only do him harm."

For a moment, everyone was speechless, silently watching Zheng Zha. Zheng Zha faced everyone's gazes frankly, then scratched his head and said, "Chu Xuan is right... Haha, don't give me face or anything, I did make a mistake. Rather than dragging everyone down with similar problems in the future, it's better to wake me up now."

There was one more thing he didn't say... and that was something that truly frightened him.

If Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan hadn't devised a countermeasure, Zhan Lan, who was best able to remove the curse, wouldn't have been able to unleash such purifying psionic energy for a while. And Zheng Zha, without any help, could only watch helplessly as he died, and as the others died... In that case, the Central Continent Team might have truly been wiped out in the face of such an attack.

Therefore, a good team is one where everyone plays to their strengths... Thinking this to himself, Zheng Zha made up his mind to stay with the main force for the last two days and do his best to protect everyone.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses: "It's good that you think this way... but now is not the time to talk about these things. Zhan Lan, what else can you do?"

“My mental power can only barely cover the entire city, and long-distance precise scanning is temporarily unusable…” Zhan Lan touched her forehead and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “But the mind chain can still be used, so it’s no problem for you and Mu Xiang to link up.”

"It's better than the worst we could have imagined." Mu Xiang smiled. "Then everyone else, grab your headsets. Chu Xuan and I will use our mind-linking... Anyway, you've been together these past two days."

He then distributed headsets to the others, including the newcomers, and prepared to set off with Chu Xuan.

"Is Arno going?" Mu Xiang asked.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses: "With Zheng Zha here, Arno doesn't need to stay behind... Let's go together."

Mu Xiang looked at Arno's reattached leg with suspicion, but didn't say anything, only pushed up his glasses.

[Arnold's role in the final battle will only be smaller.]

Chu Xuan must have had his reasons for doing this. "Alright... Zhan Lan, contact the Northern Flame Continent team and tell Feng Yang to assemble at the House of Curses." Mu Xiang glanced at the rising sun... The counselor wasn't exaggerating; although they would still encounter attacks from the Curses, the Curses' blockade of the city wasn't as severe. At least they could see the sun rise.

However, those with the curse mark are still unable to leave the city, such as the Central Continent Team, and... the Northern Flame Continent Team.

Feng Yang was woken up by Farid; they had been attacked by the Curse of the Dead again last night. For some reason, they hadn't encountered an attack of that scale since killing Angro. Although this was minor compared to the seven waves of attacks, it was still quite exhausting.

Although Feng Yang knew that with his physical condition, there wouldn't be any major problems even if he didn't rest, he still took a short nap.

After all, there are many things to do today.

"The Central Continent Team has informed us to gather at the House of Curses..." Farid ruffled Feng Yang's hair. The big boy was lying in her arms, which felt quite comfortable.

Feng Yang sat up abruptly: "Okay, I'll go right now. Find a safe place and try to shield yourself as much as possible. I still don't trust the Zhongzhou team..."

Farid nodded silently, then watched Feng Yang pack his things.

As he was about to leave, Farid called him back.

Feng Yang closed his eyes briefly, then smiled and turned to hug her: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back... We've worked so hard for this result."

Farid asked in a low voice, "The Central Continent Team said there will be many rewards for this mission... Can you make up for the reward points that were deducted before?"

"At least it should make up for half of it, right? If it really doesn't work, I'll go kill a few more rookies from the Central Continent Team before we return tomorrow..." Feng Yang sniffed the blue lotus scent on her body. "Anyway, if we succeed, we'll make a profit, and if we fail, we won't lose anything."

"Sigh..." Farid sighed. She always felt that Feng Yang seemed to have an extremely strong will to die... How could he be so sloppy when such a plan was so uncertain?

Feng Yang said solemnly, "You should be careful... I've left that code with you. If they're interested, they'll definitely try to take it."

Farid nodded: "Okay... Go ahead and do your best."

Feng Yang smiled, took off at a low altitude, and flew towards the House of Ju-on at his fastest speed. Although he could only lift off the ground a little bit, at least he was flying, wasn't he?
Yes… he thought to himself. He had been planning this outcome for a very long time, so how could he allow himself to be taken advantage of?
The code is stored in Farid's storage item, which no one but Farid should be able to open. However, Farid has a mental energy reserve ring on her person, which allows him to open Farid's storage item even if Farid dies.

He didn't expect Falid to escape the scan of the Middle Continent Team's mental controllers... but it would be even better if Falid could encounter the Middle Continent Team before he could act and use that instant-death skill, which would save him some trouble later.

The scent of blue lotus is so cloying.

When Feng Yang flew to the outside of the Ju-on House, Mu Xiang, Chu Xuan, and a giant man he didn't recognize were already standing outside.

Strangely, the giant was extremely muscular, seemingly having enhanced his physique, yet he felt very weak to Feng Yang.

Could it be someone who used technology to exchange for it? Whatever, it's a good deal for me anyway.

After landing, Feng Yang nodded to the three members of the Zhongzhou team.

Mu Xiang turned to Chu Xuan: "Alright, everyone's here... so how do we get in?"
