Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 579 The Disappearing Eldest Brother

Back in his private cabin of the transport plane, Roger Dao breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I survived... The aftereffects of that gene lock activation were worse than death. I heard from those experienced people that gene locks are usually activated by the survival instinct, but if the aftereffects are this painful, probably not many people would survive.
Luo Gandao dared to say that if he hadn't been in the Central Continent Team, with a host of protective measures and the pilot emergency system inside the mech, he probably would have suffocated.

Or perhaps you'll suffocate and die from the numbness and pain throughout your body... It's said that even if you survive this period, without proper treatment, you'll still die. This is because the cause of all this suffering is the hormone that unlocks your genetic potential. Even if you miraculously survive the pain, that hormone hasn't been completely depleted, and the human body cannot withstand its toxicity.

Fortunately, Luo Gandao had been injected with the T-virus serum, so theoretically he was no longer a normal person, at least he wouldn't suddenly stop breathing after a while... But Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha had also reminded him not to unlock doors too frequently in this horror movie. As a newbie, even with the T-virus serum injection and the activation and buffering effects, frequent unlocking would be too much for him.

The result is something like genetic breakdown... so he needs to receive treatment.

This is the problem... Back on the transport plane, Logandao listened to Alexander boasting about his initial performance in front of Alexei, while muttering to himself.

Help! Has the timeline shifted? ... Two big guys, Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha, have gone missing, and you guys aren't even reacting?
Even Zhao Yingkong simply sat in her seat with her eyes closed, not saying a word.

Fortunately, Luo Gandao had seen many of the Central Continent Team's methods, so he couldn't completely fail to understand this strange situation... Regardless of whether Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha were possibly hit by the jamming missile, even if they were, Luo Gandao didn't believe they would crash and die.

I absolutely refuse to believe it!
"So now I just... do what I'm supposed to do?" Luo Gandao didn't dare to speak, and could only think to himself, "What are those two up to?"

Luo Gandao dozed off in his confusion, perhaps because he was too tired... and he fell asleep almost immediately. He didn't know how much time had passed before he realized what had happened. As if waking from a dream, Luo Gandao kicked his legs and saw a man peeking out from the seat in front of him, smiling.

"Ouch!"

Luo Gandao almost exclaimed in surprise, then asked in astonishment, "Brother Zhang Jie?" His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

Zhang Jie nodded, then waved his hand: "Don't worry so much, feel free to ask me any questions."

After a long silence, Luo Gandao said, "I have no doubts. I just need to know the next task."

"Not bad, that's straightforward of you." Zhang Jie chuckled. "Well then, I'll be frank. I'm just a guy who gets things done, and I might not be able to explain their plans clearly; but your task is to continue playing the role of an excellent mechanical dragon. What a mechanical dragon should do is not for me to teach you, is it?"

"Understood." Luo Gandao nodded.

Without turning her head, Zhao Yingkong asked, "Is there a specific time for the final battle?"

“Yes, but that’s not something we can decide.” Zhang Jie shrugged. “The lackeys are crippled, and it’s unclear how long it will take for the main culprits to recover… After you were attacked by the United States’ mechs and fighter jets, there will be endless disputes between the two countries when you return. Who knows what kind of trouble those bastards will cause this time.” “Disputes?” Zhao Yingkong was silent for a long time. “Won’t they just start fighting?”

Zhang Jie shrugged and said, "Originally there was this risk, after all, if the referee committee were desperate, they could have caused the United States to go to war... but now that shouldn't be the case."

"why?"

Zhang Jie pointed to the sky: "So many geostationary satellites orbiting the Earth... I'm afraid they won't last much longer."

Zhao Yingkong nodded and remained silent. Luo Gandao, however, was alarmed. If those geostationary satellites emitting electromagnetic waves were destroyed, wouldn't Earth soon descend into chaos?
He certainly didn't want to be nuked halfway through his training!
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Jie tapped his head. "Even without these electromagnetic waves, Earthlings will still maintain their current way of life... because it's a kind of inertia."

At this point, Zhang Jie sighed. Luo Gandao thought he was lamenting something, but little did he know that Zhang Jie couldn't recall Mu Xiang's exact words, and he couldn't make them up...

Luo Gandao pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "So, I still need to prepare for that gladiatorial match some time from now."

“Yes, that’s very important to you.” Zhang Jie nodded. “If you win that gladiatorial match from the original storyline, as a newcomer, you will definitely receive a very generous reward. So just focus on training and don’t overthink it.”

“We don’t need you to play any more roles. If Alexei and Alexander ask you anything, no matter how strange, just answer directly.” With that, Zhang Jie turned around. “And as for the final battle, you don’t need to worry too much… The Central Continent Team is a strong team. As a newcomer, you just need to do what you are capable of.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jie fell silent.

Luo Gandao suddenly jumped up in fright. If it weren't for the large cabin and the restraint of the seatbelt, he probably would have already hit his head on the ceiling. Because he saw with his own eyes that after Zhang Jie turned around and sat up straight, the top of his head, which was faintly visible behind the seat, simply disappeared!

The next moment, Luo Gandao felt a sudden weightlessness. He opened his eyes again, then realized... he hadn't been awake at all!

Was it a dream?
The sound of Alexei and Alexander talking came through his ears again, even though they had been practically invisible just moments before... Logandau was conflicted, but what he heard was incredibly clear, or rather, he had never had such a lucid dream before.

Could it be that Zhang Jie's ability was used to convey information to him?
Luo Gandao was, after all, a newcomer and couldn't accurately deduce other people's abilities, so he could only ponder it on his own. Suddenly, he remembered... hadn't Zhao Yingkong also been talking to Zhang Jie just now?

He turned his head to look in Zhao Yingkong's direction, a subconscious confirmation, and regretted it as soon as he turned his head... Compared to Mu Xiang, Zheng Zha, and Zhang Jie, Zhao Yingkong seemed much more difficult to get along with.

Sure enough, Zhao Yingkong immediately noticed his gaze. Just as Luo Gandao was secretly groaning, Zhao Yingkong unexpectedly... nodded to him.
