Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 247 Chu Xuan: Cigarettes are indeed a good thing for relieving nerves.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Zheng Zha revealed his trump card, which he had kept hidden for a long time.

Man-made collapse!!!

This is the ability Zheng Zha acquired after enhancing his fusion warrior bloodline to A-level.

Once activated, the Honkai Beast (Vishnu) factor within Zheng Zha's body will be greatly activated, transforming the human life form into a Honkai Beast in exchange for greater power!

The only problem with this move is that after using it, one's humanity may be suppressed by the bestial nature of the Honkai Beast, leading to a berserk state.

In response, Zheng Zha patted his chest and assured him, "Although I cannot completely control the artificial collapse, I can at least retain a certain degree of rationality and figure out which side is an ally and which side is an enemy."

"That's settled then. Zheng Zha, activate the artificial collapse and try to stop Sephiroth to buy time for Zhan Lan. The rest of you, act according to the situation and take care of yourselves."

The brief meeting was set off by Chu Xuan striking the clock. Everyone was told to act according to the situation and take care of themselves. Although Chu Xuan's words had no real meaning, those who couldn't help felt particularly bad after hearing them.

Just as everyone was secretly resolving not to hold anyone back next time, Zhang Jie habitually used his mental energy to scan the area and was immediately startled by what he discovered.

"Look everyone, what's that?!"

Zhang Jie's shouts drew everyone's attention to the changes in the sky. When they saw the Genova cells spiraling upwards and breaking through the atmosphere, they were all reminded of the scenes in the game.

"Is Genova summoning meteors?!"

Xiao Honglu's voice trembled. Although no one around him responded, he hoped that someone would loudly refute him and tell him that this was not true.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Xiao Honglu said in despair, "The meteor that Jenova personally summoned must be bigger than the one that Sephiroth summoned!"
We have absolutely no ability to resist. We might as well hide in the dimensional fragments and wait for the meteorite to fall before figuring out how to complete the mission!

Xiao Honglu had just suggested withdrawing the dimensional fragments to temporarily avoid the conflict when Chu Xuan flatly rejected his suggestion.

"No! We must find a way to stop the meteorite from falling! Don't forget our mission. If that meteorite falls like this, the planet we stand on will lose its last hope! We might very well be trapped and die in this world because of mission failure!"

"That's just speculation! It's just a meteorite." Xiao Honglu tried to argue with Chu Xuan, but Zhan Lan stopped him.

"I support Chu Xuan's decision. The reason is simple: we can't afford to gamble. At worst, I'll try my best, and maybe I can shatter that meteorite."

In that case, this planet should be able to hold on, right?

Zhan Lan spoke casually, as if she were talking about what she planned to eat for dinner, but the level of difficulty involved was unimaginable to anyone.

After all, the reason this planet is in such a state is largely due to the meteorite that Sephiroth summoned.

Now, Zhan Lan intends to do this completely impossible thing with her mortal body. Regardless of whether she succeeds in the end, everyone has already guessed her fate.

"Damn it, Zhan Lan, listen to my advice, you should dye your blonde hair back to its original color after you come back this time, it's too unlucky!"

Zhang Jie, his eyes red, jokingly cursed, and Zhan Lan smiled bitterly, saying, "I also want to dye it back, but I can't afford the price to dispel the divinity of the Sun God." Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively wanted to offer to chip in, but Chu Xuan interrupted them.

"Time is running out, everyone stop bothering Zhan Lan. Zheng Zha, your task remains to buy time for Zhan Lan, but are you confident in your ability to help her?"

"Yes!" Zhan Lan answered with great confidence. As she answered, she began to use her own consciousness to connect with the concept of the sun that she had absorbed into the depths of her soul.

Seeing Zhan Lan close her eyes and enter a meditative state, Chu Xuan turned to Zheng Zha and said, "Although I know it might be pointless to say anything, I still want to give you a few words of advice."

Regardless of whether Zhan Lan succeeds or fails in the end, you must return to the dimensional fragment before the final moment arrives!

Zheng Zha glanced at Zhan Lan, who was shrouded in divine radiance, and then at his other companions. He glared at Chu Xuan with resentment.

"Don't look at me like that. You know in your heart that the Central Continent Team cannot afford to lose you, Zhan Lan, and Luo Li at the same time in a mission! At least one of you three must survive."

This is the only way to ensure the Central Continent team survives, instead of being wiped out in the next mission!

Zheng Zha understood perfectly, but he couldn't accept watching his comrades sacrifice themselves again, while he was powerless to do anything about it. Until Chu Xuan quietly leaned close to his ear and said, "As long as you're alive, they have a chance to be resurrected!"

These words immediately made Zheng Zha realize why Chu Xuan had emphasized that he had to survive.

"I understand, I will keep it in mind!"

Zheng Zha left a solemn promise, and then walked alone towards the edge of the Radiant Temple, his back becoming increasingly ferocious and terrifying.

When Zheng Zha reached the edge of the Radiant Temple, he had completely lost his human form. He landed on all fours, raised his ferocious dragon head, and let out a long roar. Pink and white bat wings with gilded flecks suddenly emerged from his back and he soared into the sky.

Everyone watched as Zheng Zha's figure disappeared into the black ocean formed by Genoa cells, and then, following Chu Xuan's instructions, they led the android army back to the dimensional fragment.

"Liuli is gone? When? Did anyone see how she disappeared?"

Faced with Chu Xuan's questioning, Alpha replied in a flustered manner, "The exact time is unclear, and it's also unclear whether anyone witnessed it. We are investigating as quickly as possible."

Chu Xuan rubbed his temples, looking troubled, and said, "You know the situation outside, so I can't let you go out to search. However, I will arrange for drones and familiars to conduct the search."

Your job is to keep your sisters calm and absolutely prevent any unrest at this critical juncture! Understand?

"Understood." Alpha really wanted to rush out of the dimensional shard to find her mother (Liuli), but as the eldest android, she knew that what she should do most at this moment was to stabilize her sisters' emotions.

After Alpha left, Chu Xuan rubbed his temples again, trying to calm his agitated nerves, but it was no use.

"Perhaps I should always keep a pack of cigarettes handy."

Deep within the City of Oblivion, Zhu Wen, whose body from the neck down was entirely covered by Genova cells, persisted. At this moment, she had lost all sensation, with only a last shred of obsession remaining to 'tug' at the conceptual link between herself and Luo Li, attempting to pass on the method to break the deadlock to her.
