Chapter 380 Classic Reprint [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

peaceful.

When Zheng Zha set foot on Earth again, he only felt tranquility.

Night fell, as dark as ink, slowly spreading out and enveloping the city in a hazy atmosphere. As dusk settled, the colorful lights, like spirits of the night, danced and twinkled in the streets and alleys.

People came and went, and cars and horses thronged the city. There were no giant arthropod monsters roaming around, nor were there any spider webs, fungal carpets, slime, or any other elements of the "Zerg" species that Zheng Zha was used to.

"Is this what you mean by 'different' and 'unpeaceful'?"

Zheng Zha looked at Jin Xi and Teacher Luo with a suspicious gaze.

It was the three of them, who seemed out of place and full of vigilance, that seemed out of place.
"Don't be misled by appearances."

Teacher Luo gave Zheng Zha a disdainful look and sneered, "You can fool a blind fool like you, but you can't fool me... Every creature you see has been corrupted by the Mother of the Zerg."

"Really? Last time I faced her clone... the creatures she corrupted quickly [mutated] into Zerg of the same level and launched a siege against me!"

Zheng Zha frowned and said, "This time, everything is very quiet!"

"Their consciousness and souls have been absorbed and interconnected..."

Jinxi closed her eyes and sensed for a moment before informing Zheng Zha of the cruel reality: "This does not hinder their usual activities... they will not even notice anything amiss, and will only think that everything is normal."

"However, the enslavement of the superiors has already begun; they have become part of the Swarm consciousness of the Mother of the Zerg... becoming a [larva]."

"...Have billions of people been unknowingly polluted?" Zheng Zha clenched his fists, his expression blank.

Teacher Luo also fell silent, simply watching Zheng Zha's every move.

Zheng Zha looked up and continued to ask, "Would killing the culprit change the current situation?"

"It's hard to say. They're just puppets right now. With the Mother of the Zerg's power, it would only take a moment for her to transform them into Zerglings."

The silver-haired girl frowned her delicate brows and said in a low voice, "And..."

Seeing that Jinxi hesitated, Zheng Zha pressed, "And what else?"

Let me put it bluntly.

Jinxi sighed softly and said, "The Mother of the Zerg seems to regard this place as a kind of [breeding ground]. She has greatly increased the [reproduction rate] of these contaminated beings."

Reproduction rate.

Words rarely used to describe humans.

Now it is truly being used on everyone in the world of Cabin in the Woods.

Zheng Zha instinctively felt a sense of nausea, and an uncontrollable rage welled up inside him.

He growled, "Does the Mother of the Zerg intend to use this to breed the Zerg army?"

"No... I think she will maintain their human identity."

Jinxi gave a negative answer: "What she wants to iterate is the birth of [humanity]. Because the first human will only be reborn as a human."

"The first person..."

Zheng Zha had heard this term from Chu Xuan, and it seemed to be related to Fang Ge's scheme.

Right now, this Mother of the Zerg has clearly set her sights on the First Ones...

Zheng Zha simulated the thinking of [Haotian]... That's right, this is the second most intelligent person in their team.

—The frenzied updating of infants has caused the first humans to be born prematurely?
He quickly came to this conclusion.

It's strange, but it barely explains the actions of the Mother of the Zerg.

This isn't a "meet and greet"! What kind of reincarnation mechanism allows for such a rapid clearing of the "First Person"?
"This is so interesting! It even involves [Hao]!"

Teacher Luo suddenly burst into laughter: "There is no true reincarnation in this world. Houtu's Reincarnation Platform has been shattered..." "Hao did not die here, and there is no such thing as reincarnation in this plane. The consciousness that is generated in this way is nothing more than born from the Sea of ​​Nothingness! How could there be Hao?"

"What a ridiculous and useless effort! The Mother of the Zerg must have been in jail for too long and her brain has been damaged!" Teacher Luo made no attempt to hide his sarcasm towards the Mother of the Zerg.

"As for the length of time spent in prison... it's hard to tell whether you or that big female insect is stronger."

Jinxi covered her mouth and chuckled, teasingly saying, "Moreover, the first being will definitely be thrown into this plane. It's just that the specific time and method of descent are unknown. It's understandable that the Mother of the Zerg would make such a low-cost attempt."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Luo's face turned almost green. He glanced discreetly at the top of Jin Xi's head... where the projection of the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda] had once appeared!

Teacher Luo whispered, "Don't tell me the world will appear here too!"

"...You guessed perfectly."

Jinxi gave Teacher Luo an affirmative answer: "When the time comes, the world will certainly not be absent."

Teacher Luo: "..."

"Why are you making such a big face? I want to go find Chu Xuan first... He couldn't have done nothing."

Zheng Zha wanted to skip over anything he didn't understand, but he urged, "We have to kill this Zerg Mother as soon as possible and liberate humanity from this world."

He could not tolerate his own people becoming breeding machines in a daze.

Moreover, this method is completely inefficient. If you want to generate consciousness, wouldn't it be faster and more efficient for Chu Xuan to use some cloning technology to create some reincarnation military units?

This Mother of the Zerg is a disgrace to her innate holy position! Her methods are even inferior to those of Umbrella!

"In short, we must be careful..."

As soon as Jin Xi uttered these words, a purple robot over forty meters tall suddenly appeared from the void and blocked the way for the three of them.

Zheng Zha was startled at first, and raised his golden cudgel high, ready to strike!
Upon seeing who it was, he stopped his attack and laughed loudly, "Luo Gandao! Why are you so jumpy? You scared me!"

"Om-"

A soft hum came from the body of the first god, but there was no response.

Then, a crimson sniper rifle suddenly popped out from its shoulder!

In an instant, a chaotic and malevolent aura filled the air!
That's a projection of the God-Slaying Spear!

Zero of the Central Continent Team possesses the advanced innate merit spiritual treasure, the God-Slaying Spear. The projection generated from it is no weaker than that of an ordinary acquired spiritual treasure!
Especially in its most proficient areas of attack and slaughter, it is incredibly terrifying, capable of destroying the physical form of a high-level saint in one blow!

If Zheng Zha were hit head-on, he would be injured!
"Zheng Zha! Run!"

Although Jinxi found it "abnormal" that Luo Gandao and the First God were under control, she didn't think about it too much. Regardless of any deeper meaning, parrying was necessary.

She immediately projected the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, placing it above her head, with wisps of profound yellow energy descending, thus establishing an invincible position.

The moment the pagoda erected its defense, the God-Slaying Spear was fired!

"boom!"

A jet-black streak of light swept across time and space, traversing earth, wind, water, and fire, and struck the pagoda!
The pagoda remained unmoved, and the three people it protected were also safe and sound. This projection of the treasure of merit was truly invincible.

"You're being attacked by your teammates who are under mind control... If Zhang Jie is the leader of the enemy, and this is Final Destination, then we're guaranteed to win..."

Jin Xi suddenly said something that Zheng Zha found unclear.

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Zha and Teacher Luo asked at the same time.

"Someone is paying homage to the classics... I won't say who."

Jinxi quietly withdrew some of the defenses and [prompted]: "I cannot fully activate the Xuanhuang Tower. You will have to deal with the [Wind Arrow] yourselves."

Hou Yi's Sun-Shooting Bow has been drawn to its full extent by Ming Yanwei.
