Chapter 39: The Zhongzhou Team

Then came the matter of the team battle.

If only the original story’s Indian team, encountered in The Mummy, were involved, then even if Wu Xian did nothing and even without Chu Xuan, the T0-level strategist, participating in battle planning, the current strength of the Zhongzhou team could simply charge forward and likely win this team battle.

Not to mention that the Zhongzhou team members would soon undergo a collective power upgrade; it might even be possible to completely annihilate the entire Indian team.

However, the Main God declared that this team battle would be a three-team clash, with an unexpected intruder: the West Sea team.

As the two teams to enter early, the Indian team and the West Sea team might form a temporary alliance to counter the stronger Zhongzhou team, introducing unpredictable variables.

By the way, who were the members of the West Sea team in the original story again…

Wu Xian frowned, recalling for a moment, and soon found the answer.

“So that’s who they are—the breeding team…”

The West Sea team, first appearing in Resident Evil: Apocalypse in the original novel, was a standard breeding squad; only two members were true mainstays, the rest were “meat pigs” used to generate reward points for them.

One of these two was naturally the West Sea team’s captain, named Reinhardt, a white man with extreme racial prejudice.

In memory, he had once been replicated by the Main God into the Demon team, serving as the captain before Demon Zheng Zha, and participated in the persecution of the cloned Luo Li, later being killed by Demon Zheng Zha in battle to achieve revenge.

By the way, this man was also one of the key contributors to why the Vampire mutation bloodline was called the first-generation version’s child.

His original form had upgraded to a double-A-ranked Vampire Prince; though his gene lock level was only third-tier, his combat power was extremely formidable, capable of holding his own against ordinary fourth-tier beginners.

As for the other breeding member of the West Sea team, he was a psychic controller named Julian.

Like Reinhardt, he had only unlocked the third-tier gene lock, but because he had enhanced the Saint Seiya system—specifically as a Gold Saint of Virgo—he had prematurely obtained the Alaya Consciousness, achieving a shortcut and gaining partial fourth-tier capabilities.

In addition, he had spent a large amount of reward points to exchange for an S-class defensive item—【The Ideal Land Far From All】—and with the monkey-version of Alaya Consciousness activated, even a true fourth-tier expert could only shake his head and sigh at the turtle shell…

Of course, all the above sounds impressive, but that was the later plot of the original novel; right now, the West Sea team—or rather, these two breeders—certainly were not this powerful yet.

Even if we generously assume, Reinhardt now was at most a second-tier gene lock A-rank Vampire Marquis, Julian had certainly not yet enhanced Alaya Consciousness, and the 【Ideal Land Far From All】 probably hadn’t even gathered enough reward points, let alone secured an S-class side quest.

“If that’s the case, it’s not entirely unwinnable… If I catch them off guard, I could take out both of them alone, while the upgraded Zhongzhou team handles the Indian team.”

“The only problem is that these two teams will arrive early and gain more initiative… Come to think of it, wouldn’t it be hilarious if the Zhongzhou team just appeared and got hit point-blank by a nuclear bomb? This is pure Shōwa man energy!”

Wu Xian muttered to himself when the repair column beside him stirred.

As previously mentioned, Zheng Zha, Mu Gang, and Li Xiaoyi, protected by their vibranium armor, had suffered no serious injuries; after soaking in the Main God’s column for over ten minutes, they descended.

Immediately after, just like Zhang Jie and Zheng Zha in the original story, they began kissing their respective clones in broad daylight, then hurried back to their rooms—clearly, “after a great battle comes another great battle.”

A moment later, Lingdian and Chu Xuan also descended.

The former, while hunting monsters with Wu Xian, had already learned from him about the clone information and the Main God’s rule: forcibly dragging clones into horror films required one D-class side quest to redeem them.

Wu Xian believed that, after learning this, Lingdian—the “most reliable man” in the original novel—would not act emotionally like Zheng Zha, and certainly wouldn’t rush to use the clone permission.

Therefore, Wu Xian had not guided him much, convinced he would make a decision fitting his character.

Then… Wu Xian watched as Lingdian stood alone beneath the glowing sphere, eyes closed in thought for several minutes, until a small girl with androgynous features suddenly appeared in the Main God hall.

Without doubt, this girl was the sister from Lingdian’s memory, the one who should have been his “younger brother.”

Wu Xian: (_)

“Indeed, the Zhongzhou team’s tone is beyond saving—I shouldn’t have had any expectations.”

Watching the cold, ascetic Lingdian now tenderly leading the little girl back to his room, Wu Xian felt countless black lines crawling across his forehead.

The most reliable man of the Zhongzhou team? This?

Pfft! Another shameless lolicon!

Enough already! How can I ever build up the Zhongzhou team alongside these people full of pornographic nonsense? When will we ever punch gods and crush demons, dominating the entire Main God space?

Thinking of this, Wu Xian sighed deeply, feeling his future was bleak; then his gaze flicked to Chu Xuan below the Main God, still gazing up at the glowing sphere, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Well, at least here was one man without worldly desires—but his lack of desire made Wu Xian even more anxious.

He feared Chu Xuan, like in the original story, would deliberately slip into solo mode during the next horror film, turning the so-called strongest brain in the Main God space into reward points and handing him over to the other two Lunhui teams.

If other Lunhui team strategists found out—especially Adam of the Tian Shen team—they’d laugh themselves to death.

Of course, such a thing was impossible.

Not only would Wu Xian stop it, but Chu Xuan himself would never, knowing a team battle was coming, perform such a brain-dead move… well, though the original scenario was already brain-dead, considering he did it just to go watch the script, it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible (laugh).

Hummm—

At that moment, a strange ripple suddenly spread through the Main God hall, catching the attention of Wu Xian, Chu Xuan, and Zhan Lan still in the healing column.

Then, under the gaze of the three—some understanding, some calm, some surprised—a massive golden stele appeared out of thin air.
