Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 556 Leaving
Although he still didn't quite understand Mu Xiang's plan, Zheng Zha's task at the moment was not that... After confirming that there was nothing for him to do, he went back to his room.

Afterwards, he activated the third-order gene lock and thought it over carefully. As soon as he exited the simulation with satisfaction, he found himself staring at his own conclusion in his mind.

This puzzled him for a while, because as he thought about it, he realized that this problem was not as difficult as some of the problems he had never been able to figure out before... So why couldn't he figure it out as soon as he exited the simulation?

Could it be that as his genetic lock evolves and his power increases, his brain is actually degenerating?

Thinking hard!
If he were to ask Mu Xiang about this puzzle, Mu Xiang would definitely say that he guessed correctly... Mu Xiang might even think to himself that it was already great that he persisted for so long compared to the original story.

The next day, Zheng Zha was the first person to be woken up. However, Zheng Zha in the reincarnation world didn't sleep in. Although he appeared to be fast asleep under surveillance, he was actually already awake and habitually circulating his vampire energy within his body. Hearing the call from outside with an Australian accent, Zheng Zha responded and then washed up to prepare for departure.

Today... is the final battle of Australia's three wars, with Zheng Zha facing his strongest opponent. Their victory or defeat will determine whether the Central Powers will completely dominate Australia, or whether the United States will retain a sliver of hope for a counterattack!

On his way to the Allied warm-up venue, Zheng Zha saw the logistics staff from yesterday passing by with a cleaning robot.

"Eh? Eh!"

Zheng Zha let out a soft "Eh," then turned back to look at the person in surprise, confirming that he hadn't seen wrong... But what was even stranger was that, in Zheng Zha's perception, the gaze that had been spying on him from the other end of the corridor camera had actually turned towards the logistics staff.
Zheng Zha didn't have Mu Xiang's abnormal perception, so the feeling of being watched was only a fleeting change, and he wasn't quite sure for the moment.

After a half-hearted warm-up—of course, a standard human warm-up wouldn't have any effect on Zheng Zha—he finally met up with his teammates. Alexander was still chatting and laughing with Luo Gandao behind him, while Mu Xiang, who had been whispering with Zhao Yingkong, exchanged a knowing glance with Zheng Zha and smiled knowingly.

"So how come that guy is still working normally?" Zheng Zha pulled Mu Xiang aside and asked in a low voice.

Mu Xiang shrugged: "Normal work? What do you think we did yesterday, kill someone to cover it up? We analyzed what needed to be analyzed, did the deception we needed to do, and then let them go. After Zhang Jie was brainwashed, he forgot all that memory."

"No, how exactly is it a scam?" Zheng Zha paused for a moment, then told Mu Xiang about the unusual thing he had just sensed.

Mu Xiang smiled: "The people who are directly plotting against us are cyber beings living in the underlying network... So how do they interfere with people in the real world? In the end, there must be a process of transmitting data outwards and then transforming it into real-world influence. Even if they are powerful enough to control all the electrical appliances in the world, this underlying logic is the same."

"As for the feedback, it's the reverse of the above process... So, Liu Xi only needs to parse the corresponding code and then relay the normal feedback back." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "So the referee committee thinks everything is normal, but don't forget, that logistics staff member is not only one of the referee committee's pawns, but also the logistics staff member of this United States Arena."

"Don't even mention that this is the truth; he himself wouldn't even know he was acting as an agent for some behind-the-scenes boss. That's the answer to your question... The tribunal was deceived, but from the perspective of the United States, it was this logistics guy who entered the room and then the surveillance was cut off. If you were in his shoes, wouldn't you suspect that something was wrong with your own people?"

"If you ask me, if the department that was conducting the surveillance wasn't directly subordinate to the arena, they would have arrested this guy, but that would have ruined our plans."

After listening, Zheng Zha understood a lot. He remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh: "The so-called mastermind... this sense of control that disregards everything is truly disgusting. Anything can be a pawn... anything can also be a chessboard."

Mu Xiang smiled indifferently, but clenched his fist. "Disgusting...it's more like captivating..."

Before Zheng Zha could realize anything, Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and said, "But no matter how much they control the world, we'll still kick their ass. Once we've analyzed all that stuff, we just need to weave them a seemingly normal fantasy, and their domination of the Earth will become a joke."

"Then it's time to face the real mastermind behind these traitors?" Zheng Zha asked casually.

"Maybe, but your priority right now is to play well in today's match and please the alien commander." Mu Xiang shrugged.

"Mom's..."

Zheng Zha was about to go to the hangar when he cursed and turned to leave.

Mu Xiang said from behind him, "By the way, according to the decoded content... the referee committee will conduct in-depth investigations into all the outstanding Mechanical Dragons. For example, yesterday they were going to start with Luo Gandao, putting him into a state similar to taking several kilograms of confession drugs on a specific frequency band. Do you know what the key focus of the investigation is?"

"Uh... what is it?" Zheng Zha turned around and scratched his head. "Could it be from somewhere? Damn, do they know about the Samsara Squad?"

"..." Mu Xiang was silent for a long time, then sighed, "It's about the reception level of that frequency band. If there are weak receptions, as mechanical dragons, they will receive special attention; if they are completely immune, they will be eliminated directly. Or it could be an assassination that no one can detect, or an accidental death on the field."

"So, who can be completely immune to the effects of this frequency band?" Mu Xiang asked Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha felt a chill run down his spine: "A person who has unlocked the gene lock!"

The people who rule this world... have very likely been eliminating humans in this plane who have unlocked their genetic potential!

“That’s right…” Mu Xiang smiled. “Of course, besides that, in principle, genetically modified humans are also quite likely to reduce or even become immune to this effect. After all, their genes may have been edited to avoid the influence of this electromagnetic wave, just like gene mutations and viruses. We can completely regard the special electromagnetic waves that surround the earth as a kind of electromagnetic virus.”

Zheng Zha pondered for a while: "Indeed... so why bring this up now?" He knew that if Mu Xiang were to say this now, it certainly wouldn't be completely unrelated information. Perhaps Mu Xiang also wanted to obtain this technology, or perhaps he had discovered something more noteworthy.

"Since genetically modified warriors risk escaping control, why does the judging committee only care whether we are genetically modified humans from Tokyo University?"

"A genetically modified human from the University of Tokyo...don't we know one?"
