Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 163 Zheng Zha and the Golden Vampire Mask
Zheng Zha has a unique characteristic: when an external brain is unavailable, the team urgently needs a brain.

He will step up at the most crucial moment.

In the original storyline, when he was weak, before the Great Dao of Power had filled his mind, he was still able to make some analysis and thinking.

After becoming powerful, Zheng Zha, in order to make up for his own problem, used the mindset of 'simulating Xiao Honglu' who had unlocked the third stage of the gene lock to enter the wise man mode, which also temporarily solved the problem of not having a brain.

Of course, this ability also weakens as he becomes stronger in the later stages.

In the end, he grew into the well-known muscle gorilla who could punch two pancakes in one go.

Zheng Zha's current combat strength is among the top in the third tier, but because he has not yet established his foundation, he has not yet reached the peak of the third tier.

He is not truly powerful until he reaches the fourth level. His brain is not yet fully muscled and still possesses a certain level of thinking ability.

Zheng Zha stood up and said in a firm voice, "You all know the principle of yang turning into yin and yin turning into yang, right?"

"When yang reaches its extreme, yin will be born; when yin reaches its extreme, yang will be born."

"This is the principle I learned from the 'Nine Yang Divine Skill' and the 'Nine Yin Manual'."

Zhang Jie, Ming Yanwei, Zhao Yingkong, the female lead Eve, and the female lead's brother Jonathan all looked at Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha waved his hand and said, "I don't believe it is a perfect being. Or rather, even if it is a perfect being, once it reaches the extreme of perfection, imperfection will inevitably arise."

Zhang Jie twirled the Desert Eagle pistol (unlimited ammo version) in his hand and said, "Zheng Zha, say something you can understand. What are you planning to do?"

Zheng Zha looked at Zhang Jie and said, "We need to find it, whether it's the blood slaves or anything else related to it. Find them, and then kill them!"

“I know it’s useless to do this; it will come back to life.”

"But that's not the key point. The key point isn't actually killing it, but evolving and becoming stronger!"

"If it fights us, won't it absorb our abilities or cells to become stronger? Then let it absorb them. I don't believe that this kind of strengthening is endless and without any cost."

"When it reaches its limit, it will die!"

Although the specific logic wasn't understood, everyone understood what Zheng Zha was going to do.

The golden-masked man has the ability to grow stronger with each battle, and Zheng Zha intends to let this happen, allowing the golden-masked man to absorb their abilities and cells to become stronger.

Zheng Zha believed that when the Golden Mask Man became too powerful to a certain extent, things would inevitably turn around.

This is a gamble, a gamble with your life on the line.

The Golden Masked Man is currently considered a powerful figure, but he is not yet excessively powerful.

If they are careful, none of them will be killed by the man in the golden mask.

But if they let the man in the golden mask grow stronger, it would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

Once the golden-masked men become unimaginably powerful, they are essentially raising a powerful monster that will eventually kill them.

The female protagonist's brother, Jonathan, is a cunning and sly man who is obsessed with gold and cowardly. He tentatively asks, "You... I'm just an ordinary person. Can I not participate?"

This decision is too dangerous. If it succeeds, great; if it fails, death is certain.

Zhang Jie was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, twirling the Desert Eagle pistol in his hand, when he suddenly stopped.

"Old Zheng, are you serious?" Zhang Jie put his legs down, sat up straight, and looked at Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "I'm serious."

Zhang Jie grinned and said, "I'm working for you now. Without my mental scanning, you wouldn't be able to find that golden-masked man."

Zhao Yingkong held the giant Grim Reaper's scythe in her arms, constantly trying to get a part of her soul into the scythe, but she never succeeded.

She said with a cold expression, "I'll do it."

Mingyan smiled brightly and said, "I'll do it too."

The female protagonist, Eve, said, "I will do anything to save my child, as long as there is even a sliver of hope!"

The female lead's brother, Jonathan, said helplessly, "I take back what I just said. I have no choice but to do it, but you have to guarantee my safety."

Everyone agrees.

The next thing is simple.

Zhang Jie used his 'mental scanning' ability and built a mental network to transmit the information about the golden masked man to everyone.

However, due to Zhang Jie's special circumstances and the restrictions imposed by the main deity, the transmission is rather subtle, and everyone will need to spend more time.

But everything went relatively smoothly.

They located the golden-masked man more than a dozen times, with Zheng Zha acting as the main force to fight him.

At first, Zheng Zha could kill the golden-masked man with a single axe blow, but as he killed the golden-masked man more and more times, the golden-masked man became stronger and stronger.

Zhao Yingkong and Mingyanwei had no choice but to step in to assist Zheng Zha.

"Hahaha, evolution! I sense the power of evolution!"

In a dark alley, a homeless man leaning against a wall, seemingly oblivious to his fate, suddenly sat up straight.

Red light flashed rapidly across his body, and new skin tissue grew from the inside out.

Soon, a disheveled homeless man transformed into a muscular man wearing a gold mask.

"My evolutionary power had already been dormant. No matter how many people I killed or how much blood I drank, my body was not satisfied and I could not evolve."

"That desire to evolve, which comes from deep within my body, drives me crazy."

"I'm losing my mind."

"So much so that once, a man named 'Jonathan' took advantage of my inattention and plucked a piece of gold off my mask."

The muscular man in the golden mask stepped forward. Through the eye holes in his mask, he could see several people dressed in cool black armor rushing towards him in the distance.

He was not afraid; in fact, a greedy gleam appeared in his eyes.

“While I was hunting Jonathan, I met O’Connor and Eve, and I unexpectedly learned about the existence of other superhumans from them.”

"My genes tell me that they are the resources for my evolution!"

"I was indeed wary of them because the golden mask was missing that one piece of gold, and I didn't dare to really kill them."

"But so far, the golden mask has not shown any effect."

"I was deliberately waiting for these extraordinary individuals to arrive!"

"I can absorb their genes to become stronger in battle." "Hahaha, every cell in my body is jumping for joy, and my blood slaves are all over the world and several countries."

"I am immortal, I am a perfect being who can become stronger by absorbing genes."

"I...am invincible!"

At this moment, the group of men in black armor entered the alley, and the leader, who was wielding a golden axe, swung it at him without warning.

"Hahaha, foolish mortals, haven't you realized it yet? Hahaha, you will die because of your own stupidity!" the muscular man in the golden mask laughed arrogantly.

Zheng Zha and the others did not answer, and continued to kill him with great difficulty.

At this moment, the muscular man with the golden mask has reached the peak of the third tier, and if he is resurrected again, he will be at the beginning of the fourth tier!

“Of course I know what we’re doing. You’re the fool. Your death is coming soon!” Zheng Zha murmured.

Under Zhang Jie's mental scan, the golden-masked muscle man, who had been resurrected from the blood slave once again, had nowhere to hide.

The group immediately resumed their pursuit.

They arrived at a huge, deserted garbage dump.

The resurrected golden-masked muscle man exuded an aura far greater than before; this was... a fourth-tier beginner powerhouse.

"I'm invincible! I'm invincible! Hahahaha!"

When Zheng Zha and the others arrived, they saw the muscular man with the golden mask running around and laughing hysterically in the garbage heap.

He became stronger too quickly; others would need to take it one step at a time to reach the fourth rank.

His foundation is unstable, and if he easily attains the fourth-order realm, the consequences will be severe.

In the original storyline, this golden-masked man went mad after evolving to the end, and ultimately died because he evolved too quickly.

The reason for his madness was the influence of the mask and his becoming a slave to his genes.

His evolution was uncontrolled; his conscious desires were entirely manipulated by his genetic desires.

The cause of death was an energy problem.

Even evolving from the third to the fourth tier requires a massive amount of energy.

The golden-masked muscle man's endless rapid evolution, without any additional energy replenishment, can only consume the energy of his body's cells and squeeze their activity.

This is tantamount to exhausting all your potential to do this.

Finally, when his potential is exhausted, he will die from cell depletion.

The protagonist Eve's child was placed next to a pile of garbage. Eve immediately ran over, picked him up, tears streaming down her face, and kissed and hugged him.

She finally saw her child.

Standing beside Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie looked at the muscular man with the golden mask who was acting crazy in the garbage heap and asked, "It seems like things really have turned out as you said. He's gone mad. What do we do next?"

Zheng Zha said, "Although we may not be able to beat him now, he's about to die!"

"Continue to fight him and force him to become stronger."

"His power comes from the mask; it's uncontrollable, and he can't stop the process."

Zhang Jie looked at Zheng Zha in surprise; Zheng Zha's brain was definitely working.

The group charged forward again to fight the muscular man in the golden mask.

The muscular man with the golden mask, who had evolved into the 'initial fourth stage', was crazy, but even so, he was not someone that Zheng Zha and his group could kill.

But precisely because the muscular man in the golden mask was acting erratically, he didn't intend to kill Zheng Zha and the others. Instead, after absorbing their genes again, he muttered, "Evolve...evolve, give them all to me, all your genes, give them all to me...evolve!"

He exposed his core secret, which was also his greatest weakness.

Zheng Zha said, "So you're absorbing genes to become stronger? We're right here. If you want it, you can have it all! Take it!"

The muscular man in the golden mask has become even stronger, approaching the peak of the initial stage of the fourth rank.

At that very moment, his life was about to come to an end.

The Golden Masked Muscular Man can help ordinary people evolve to the initial stage of the fourth tier; this is its limit.

Similarly, under the control of the mask, the full potential and energy of a person's cells can only be maintained up to the fourth-level initial stage at most.

The body of the muscular man in the gold mask began to break down.

Zheng Zha and the others took a step back, waiting for the moment when the muscular man with the golden mask would die completely.

But at that moment, a black dragon with three heads suddenly descended and transformed into human form the instant it landed on the ground.

"Is the energy depleted?" the visitor murmured.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, which contained water.

He opened the porcelain bottle and sprinkled the water from it onto the golden-masked muscular man whose body was collapsing. The colorless, transparent water was absorbed by the golden-masked muscular man.

Soon, the muscular man in the golden mask regained his senses and his breathing stabilized.

"I am the Dragon Emperor." The newcomer stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the muscular man in the golden mask. "I will save your life and make you my subordinate, or I will take your life back."

The Dragon Emperor scanned the entire area and saw Zheng Zha and the others who were on high alert.

The Dragon Emperor smiled slightly and said, "I want to revive this world, to make it evolve, and to make cultivation the mainstream."

"You can all join me and build this eternal imperial empire together."

"After this is accomplished, I will become the emperor, and I will bestow upon you the title of king, grant you fiefdoms, and make you the divine kings within my kingdom!"

Zheng Zha stared speechlessly at the impassioned Dragon Emperor, wondering if the guy had lost his mind.

His heart sank again. The golden-muscled man had been rescued. This man, who called himself the 'Dragon Emperor,' was a formidable enemy who could suddenly appear with such terrifying aura.

Zheng Zha quickly urged his brain to keep working, searching for a solution.

He saw a cloud of yellow sand fly in and land in front of them.

As the yellow sand settled, many familiar faces appeared.

And one of them was Chu Xuan!
Zheng Zha immediately stopped troubling himself, looked at Chu Xuan, and called out to Chu Xuan through the mental network, "Chu Xuan, please respond if you receive this. What do we do now? Over."
