Chapter 26: Good Little Chu, Understood, Little Chu (Please Follow! Please Collect!)

Where is this place?!

Who are you people? Are you kidnappers...?

What the fuck! Are you filming a movie?! Don’t think dressing up like this can scare me—do you know who I am?!

……

As expected, once the newcomers were awakened, chaos erupted; even seeing the Zhongzhou team’s ornate “future warrior” armor failed to stop them from using words to ease their panic.

Among them, the three members of the Zang’ai family’s gang were the most unruly.

Perhaps because of Mou Gang’s exaggerated physique, they felt a threat of absolute power, causing these three gangsters to grow even more blustery yet cowardly; their leader even pulled out a handgun as a threat.

“Hmph!”

Zhan Lan let out another soft hum, but it carried a bone-chilling chill.

At the same time, her nascent telekinesis released, forming an invisible hand that seized the gang leader’s wrist and twisted it violently.

“Crack!”

“Aaaahhhhhhhhh————!!”

His wrist snapped instantly, followed by the gangster’s piercing scream—but before he could cry out for two seconds, it abruptly cut off, as if something had stuffed his mouth, leaving only muffled “ooh ooh” sounds.

The other two gangsters fared no better; their faces flushed crimson, equally unable to make a sound.

If one looked closely, visible indentations could be seen on their necks, as if invisible forces had choked them.

Clearly, all of this was the effect of telekinesis.

In the past few days, after training under Wu Xian, a high-grade warrior-level mentalist, Zhan Lan had reached the “entered the hall” stage in controlling her mental energy and telekinesis.

She could now perform feats beyond ordinary people without exchanging for skills from the Master God.

Such as mental scanning, mental suggestion, and just now, telekinetic object manipulation.

Currently, Zhan Lan’s telekinesis strength was around three to four hundred jin—equivalent to a mid-level student of the Tunshi world—insufficient against reinforced individuals like Zheng Zha, but more than enough to beat up ordinary people.

On the other side, when the other newcomers saw the three gangsters suppressed by some strange force, they immediately fell silent.

For a moment, the room was so quiet a pin could be heard dropping; then Zhan Lan spoke:

“It seems you’ve calmed down. Good. Now, carefully recall—those details should already be in your minds...”

Zhan Lan then explained the Master God’s space to everyone, especially detailing how all of them would endlessly cycle through countless horror films, completing tasks issued by the Master God; surviving each horror film would grant them one thousand reward points.

These reward points could be exchanged for weapons, body enhancements, or special abilities like the one she had just used.

But as in the original novel, Zhan Lan did not mention side quests—this time, however, not out of intent, but because she saw no need.

After all, judging from the current situation, aside from Chu Xuan and Lingdian, all other newcomers’ qualities were quite average.

Given the likely difficulty of this horror film, it was uncertain how many of them would survive; knowing about side quests would serve no purpose.

Soon, the explanation ended, and 100 reward points were successfully acquired.

Zhan Lan immediately released her hold on the three gangsters and stepped beside Wu Xian, while Zheng Zha, with Wu Xian’s silent approval, stepped forward and demanded each person state their profession and specialty.

Clearly, his maternal heart had not yet vanished—he still hoped to give these people a chance to survive, while also asserting that veterans must hold command of the team.

Thanks to Zhan Lan’s magical display of force, everyone complied willingly when Zheng Zha made his request.

Even the three gangsters did the same, even more obsequiously, causing Zheng Zha to frown.

Meanwhile, Wu Xian walked up to Chu Xuan and Lingdian.

In an instant, he extended his hands, and a Barrett sniper rifle and an infinite-ammo Desert Eagle materialized before them, offered in their astonished and fervent gazes.

“As promising candidate members, the Zhongzhou team will provide some equipment assistance—but whether you ultimately survive...”

“How did you just do that?! Space equipment? Or legendary cultivation artifacts?”

Before Wu Xian could finish, Chu Xuan—who had been in his “I’m a soldier, I feel nothing” state—suddenly displayed extreme emotional fluctuation.

He then ignored the Desert Eagle before him and reached out directly toward Wu Xian’s wrist.

The next instant, invisible telekinesis descended, instantly restraining Chu Xuan’s arm, preventing him from moving forward even a fraction.

Wu Xian glanced at Zhan Lan in surprise, noticing her gaze toward Chu Xuan had grown cold; he felt both relieved and amused.

He patted her shoulder, signaling her to release the restraint, then spoke to Chu Xuan, who had now regained his composure.

“Comrade Chu, I know you’re eager, but don’t rush. Once we return to the Master God’s space, you’ll have all the time you need to figure out everything you want to know. Right now, your only task is to use your analytical strengths and help us all survive.”

Chu Xuan twisted his wrist, which seemed slightly fractured, looked up at Wu Xian for several seconds, then nodded: “I understand. I’ll do my best to meet your demands... Also, just call me Chu Xuan.”

“Good, little Chu. Understood, little Chu.”

“...”

Buzzzzz—

At that moment, a faint buzzing sound arose; everyone froze slightly, then saw the metal room’s door suddenly open.

Zheng Zha and the others tensed instantly, pulling out firearms from their space bags and aiming them outward; newcomers like Chu Xuan and Lingdian realized the horror film had begun.

Unlike the original novel, none of the newcomers here rushed out Shanzi —this wasn’t because they believed Zhan Lan, but because Mou Gang, following Wu Xian’s orders, had already blocked the doorway.

His completely inhuman physique, combined with the cold gleam of vibranium armor, was enough to deter any sane person from even considering defiance.

Seeing this, Wu Xian was highly satisfied, then suddenly spoke to the air: “Friday, take control of this ship’s surveillance system as soon as possible. Within five minutes, I need to know the exact locations of all the aliens.”

【Acknowledged, Master. Please wait a moment.】

A clear, pleasant female voice echoed inside the Zhongzhou team’s helmets.

Undoubtedly, this was Friday—the new artificial intelligence created by Wu Xian after modifying the Red Queen code he brought back from the Resident Evil world.
