Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 605 Approaching
Logically speaking... if human mechs can still break through the outer perimeter of the Celestial Fleet fifty years from now, then all the Celestials might as well hang themselves.

They used the necks they got from Earthlings to hang themselves.

However, with Zhang Jie and others leading the way, this was no problem. Zhang Jie always fought with a decisive and resolute style, putting in all his strength whenever possible... So when he, Mu Xiang, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan reminisced about their glorious past, they could confidently declare that he never held back, and although he could only use the Desert Eagle infinitely, he still gave it his all in every game.

He now leads more than one mech squadron, each assisted by elite mechanical dragons. Although the hastily trained mechanical dragons are somewhat inferior, they are protected inside unmanned mechs and will not cause any problems.

Then he could think about how to break through with human mechs, using the maximum available power.

"The God's quest prompt... there aren't any more restrictions, right?" Zhang Jie asked in his mind as he looked at his watch.

Zheng Zha chuckled: "Isn't it obvious? Even our Brother Zhang Jie has times when he can't make up his mind."

Zhang Jie chuckled to himself: "Isn't it just that he's afraid of overlooking some wordplay..."

A new mission had already appeared on the watches of the Central Continent Team members:
"All mission restrictions are lifted, and previous mission progress is retained. Defeat the alien fleet invasion within three days, and the entire team will receive two B-level side quests, rewarding 7000 points. Destroy one main ship, and receive one D-level side quest, rewarding 1000 points; destroy one mothership, and receive one C-level side quest, rewarding 2000 points. Destroy the Giant Spirit, and the entire team will receive one B-level side quest, rewarding 5000 points."

Liu Xi's voice echoed through the mind chain: "I still maintain my previous opinion. The hints for this mission are not complete, but there are no harmful word games. Two points: First, thwarting the invasion could mean either repelling it or annihilating it. Of course, I think repelling it is the minimum, while annihilation may have additional rewards. Second, the rewards for destroying the target are probably not fully listed either."

Zheng Zha thought for a moment and agreed, "Indeed, after all, the rewards for regular warships are not listed here, but in fact, our watches have individual kill counts. There are also alien mechs that haven't appeared yet, and these are items without side quests, so they are not listed in the mission description."

"This is outrageous!" Overlord complained. "Such a huge warship, and I only get 1 reward point for destroying it?"

Zhang Jie shrugged: "Sorry, the amount of the reward is related to a bunch of data... and our Central Continent team, whether it's the strength of the strongest member, the average strength, or past performance, the data is ridiculously high. Don't be fooled by how big this warship is; in the judgment of the main god, this kind of lowest-level warship is just a grunt. Giving a grunt 1 reward point is already generous enough."

“I remember… even back in the days of Resident Evil, killing ten zombies only earned us 1 reward point, right?” Zhan Lan interjected. “With your current strength, fighting in mechs, this kind of reward is already pretty good.”

"Yes, yes, you get a thousand reward points for killing a newbie." Zheng Zha muttered, annoyed that she was talking without any real understanding of the situation.

Luo Gandao was startled: "What?"

“Negative!” Zhang Jie said irritably when Zheng Zha brought up his lame joke. “Stop it, you newbies shouldn’t be too relaxed.”

Liu Xi said calmly, "It's good that you know... but I haven't finished yet. The lowest-level warships, communication ships, and regional flagships are all targets without side quests, so it's not surprising that the main god didn't remind them. Even if you only consider the destroyers, it's still a considerable income... I already have a pretty good reward. But you seem to have forgotten about another direction."

Zhang Jie imbued the missile with telekinesis, imbuing the already formidable super-powerful missile with immeasurable power. His barrage of attacks created a massive opening for the mech forces outside Earth. In reality, Celestial Being had activated its emergency reinforced protective field to buy time for adjustments, but Zhang Jie's attack was inexplicably powerful, completely disregarding the reinforced protective layer. Fortunately, Celestial Being couldn't directly accuse him of cheating, and the mechanical dragons fighting alongside the Central Continent team couldn't detect any clues… In this kind of small-scale, large-scale combat, everyone's attacks were interconnected; who had the time to notice the power of their own single strike? They could only marvel at how powerful they were.

He led his mech squadron into the gap, asking himself, "What other directions are there?"

“Projects with even greater rewards than those already known,” Liu Xi said. “Of course, that depends on someone’s performance… Destroying the Celestials’ home planet should bring even more rewards, right? As for whether it’s the whole team or an individual, that depends on the God’s mood. What you need to do now is to maximize the benefits for the team while launching a fierce counterattack.”

“I understand, I understand,” Zheng Zha said, piloting his mecha while daydreaming. “If Mu Xiang gets the individual reward, I’ll definitely squeeze him for a hefty sum. Destroying their home planet will surely bring in a substantial reward, right?”

Cheng Xiao asked sincerely, "Is it for the team to do?"

"Cough cough, of course!"

Driven by this strange incentive, the members of the Central Continent Team rallied their spirits and led a group of mechs into the interior of the Celestial Fleet with unstoppable momentum. Although they didn't know exactly how deep inside, they had already left the outer perimeter.

"The ships below are slowly closing in... Before they're torn apart by the gravitational field, they'll essentially seal us off," Xie Yu said cautiously. "What do we do?"

Asking a newcomer for a useful suggestion is usually asking the impossible... but Xie Yu was very enthusiastic about showing his usefulness, and his question was indeed worth considering.

Zheng Zha muttered to himself, "Was this intentional?"

Zhang Jie, who was leading the mech squadron in a charge in a certain direction, denied it, saying, "It's unlikely, because the mental field I detected... hasn't arrived here yet. Zhan Lan is closely monitoring the situation of this mental field, and her conclusion should be the same as mine."

"In other words, the Celestials' fleet has not yet fully integrated into more efficient wartime communications." Zheng Zha thought for a moment, "Then let's continue in that direction."

The Central Continent Team also made considerable gains along the way. Although they hadn't encountered any objectives with side quests yet, the rewards were substantial considering the number of lower-level ships they had. Under the Central Continent Team's deliberate guidance, the Mechanical Dragon suffered minimal losses; almost all that was destroyed were the escorting drone mechs. Therefore, their morale only increased as they fought their way through the battle.

Just as Zheng Zha was feeling gratified by the difficulty of this final battle, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a very uncomfortable feeling welled up inside him.

Zhang Jie sighed: "We've entered their mental field, so the enemy ships here won't be so rigid... Everyone, be careful."
