Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 229 Luo Li: Let's all become magical girls!
The thought that the air around them might be filled with Genova cells made everyone feel so nauseous that they didn't even want to eat.

Luo Li replied that it was up to them to do whatever they wanted, since with the current average enhancement level of the Central Continent Team, missing a few meals wouldn't have any impact on their combat strength.

She, however, continued to eat and drink as usual, seemingly not caring about anything, which made everyone envious.

Then, after closing her eyes for three seconds, Zhu Wen decisively deactivated her transformation and joined the group eating and drinking, which puzzled the others.

Noticing everyone's confusion, Zhu Wen said, "I am a magical girl. Every time I transform or de-transform, it's like using magic to reshape my body. The Genova cells have no chance to affect me."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions were incredibly varied. They hadn't expected there to be a way to circumvent Genova cell infection; she truly lived up to her magical girl reputation.

Perhaps influenced by Luo Li and Zhu Wen's emotions, the others barely managed to muster a little appetite, hastily ate a few bites of food to fill their stomachs, and then anxiously took turns to rest.

In the following days, Team Central did not encounter any further attacks from Genova chimeras.

With the help of the androids, Lingdian and Gao Hongliang successfully found several anomalous areas. However, due to the current panic within the Zhongzhou team, Luo Li temporarily suspended the investigation plan, waiting for Chu Xuan to develop the Genova cell detection instrument.

Chu Xuan did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He successfully put together the testing instrument in just three days. His speed was so fast that even Luo Li had to admire him.

Chu Xuan led everyone to a hastily modified airship and said to his impatient companions, "Before we begin the testing, I have some bad news for you."

After this testing device was built, I first used it to test myself and the androids who assisted me. The results showed that Genoa cells were found in all of us, so... be prepared.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people who had been eager to get tested immediately turned ashen, as if they had swallowed flies, and they lost all motivation to get tested.

Seeing this, Luo Li knew that whether or not the test was conducted, the result would be the same. However, Chu Xuan had already developed the instrument according to her requirements, and even if it was just to respect Chu Xuan's work, Luo Li still had to go up and undergo the test herself.

"Ahem, although Chu Xuan and the artificial humans have already been tested, their cases do not represent everyone. Everyone, please get ready and we will begin testing in turn."

After saying that, Luo Li voluntarily lay down in the coffin-like testing instrument and was the first to complete the test.

Seeing this, the others also completed the test one by one in an orderly manner.

After everyone had finished their tests, Chu Xuan compiled the results together and said to everyone, "Thank you for your cooperation. Now I'll talk about the few people whose conditions are mild."

The Genoa cells in the bodies of Luo Li, Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, and Zhu Wen showed the mildest reaction.

Luo Li, Zhan Lan, and Zheng Zha have stronger resistance to Genova cells because of their strength.

As for Zhu Wen and Zhao Yingkong, I guess it's related to their enhancement types. I won't go into detail about Zhu Wen; everyone knows that magical girls refresh their own status every time they transform.

As for Zhao Yingkong, it's probably because of the Honkai Beast factor.

After all, one of the defining characteristics of the Honkai system is its erosion and assimilation.

After speaking to the few people whose conditions were less severe, Chu Xuan said that there was not enough data available for the remaining people, and he could only speculate that Genova cells would not affect them in the short term.

However, just to be on the safe side, Chu Xuan still suggested that everyone brainstorm and quickly complete the main quest to return to the God's Space and have the God help them deal with the Genova cells in their bodies. Everyone naturally agreed with Chu Xuan's suggestion and immediately proposed to Luo Li that they explore the abnormal area that had been discovered earlier.

At that moment, Luo Li, who was comparing everyone's test reports, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way that might temporarily help everyone get rid of the hidden dangers of Genova cells.

"Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan, I have an idea that I need your cooperation with."

As Luo Li spoke, she told Li Shuaixi to lie down in the testing instrument again. After closing the lid, she first asked Zhan Lan to perform purification on Li Shuaixi, and then Chu Xuan started the instrument to complete the test.

The result was unexpected; the Genova cell response in Li Shuaixi's body actually decreased significantly. Although it was not eradicated, this indicated that the Zhongzhou team's time was no longer so tight.

Therefore, without waiting for Luo Li's instructions, Zhan Lan took the initiative to cast a purification spell on everyone.

After the purification was complete, perhaps due to psychological effects, Zhang Jie, feeling relaxed all over, unusually started to flatter.

"As expected of the captain, we all overlooked Zhan Lan's purification, only you remembered it."

Faced with Zhang Jie's flattery, Luo Li said with ill intent, "Actually, besides Zhan Lan's purification, I have another idea. Do you want to try it?"

When Luo Li asked Zhang Jie that question, his PTSD flared up on the spot. He kept saying that with Zhan Lan's purification, it would be enough, and that he, a nobody, was not worth the captain's concern.

Seeing how wary Zhang Jie was of her and how he refused to jump into the pit, Luo Li felt incredibly regretful. Fortunately, there was still Zheng Zha, the curious one, asking what the solution was.

So, Luo Li took out the Kaleidoscope Staff that she had shown everyone before.

"The solution, of course, is for everyone to become magical girls!"

Looking at the Kaleidoscope Staff in Luo Li's hand, Zheng Zha wished he could slap himself twice for always talking so much. What was he going to do now?

Just as Zheng Zha was wondering how to respond, a hand reached out from beside him and took a Kaleidoscope Staff from Luo Li's hand.

Zheng Zha turned his head and his eyes widened in shock. It was Chu Xuan who had just reached out!

Facing everyone's horrified and skeptical gazes, Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said, "I don't understand what you're all being so dramatic about. Becoming a magical girl is the best way to combat the invasion of Genova cells into the body right now."

Without giving anyone else a chance to react, Chu Xuan decisively activated the Kaleidoscope Staff inlaid with black gems in his hand.

Seeing this, even Luo Li herself was stunned. She hadn't expected that she had only intended to liven things up and, incidentally, trick Zhang Jie. As a result, Zhang Jie cleverly dodged the trap, but Chu Xuan jumped right in.

As the magic shone brightly, Luo Li's pre-prepared substitution magic transformed Chu Xuan's consciousness and body, and a girl with short white hair appeared in the same spot as Chu Xuan.

After the transformation ended, the white-haired girl and everyone around her remained silent for a long time. Finally, the girl spoke, "Is this what ordinary people's emotions are? It's such a strange feeling."

At this moment, Luo Li, realizing what was happening, cautiously asked, "Chu Xuan?"
