They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 396 Zheng Zha: My friends and I were all stunned!
The moment the silver metal case was opened, a unique scent, a mixture of engine oil, polymers, and cold metal, silently filled the air.

Inside the box, a faint blue glow emanated from the weapon's energy indicator lights and heat dissipation slots, casting a hazy light on the faces of Zheng Zha and the others.

The weapons lay silently in the black cushioning foam, each one looking like a work of art smuggled from the future.

Beneath the M41A pulse rifle's iconic rugged exterior lies a meticulously modified receiver, with the new Weyland-Yutani logo engraved on its streamlined outer shell.

The grenade launcher below the barrel has been replaced with a smaller Gauss kinetic energy module, and the stock has also been ergonomically optimized.

A row of M40 smart grenades were stacked next to it, their surface shimmering like water as the light changed.

There are also several portable energy shield generators that fold up, shaped like heavy bracelets, exuding a strong sense of technology.

"Goodness gracious! Does the Supreme God have a promotion?"

Zhang Jie's Adam's apple bobbed, and his usually playful eyes widened in shock as he muttered to himself, breaking the deathly silence of the square.

"This……"

Zheng Zha also made a slip of the tongue. As a veteran who had already watched two horror movies, his perspective had naturally broadened considerably.

There were more than a dozen sets of weapons in front of them, and the quality of each one far exceeded the conventional weapons they had obtained in the alien world.

However, if they were to exchange it for the main god, the expense would be enough to bankrupt the entire Central Continent Team instantly...

Compared to everyone's surprise, Chu Xuan's reaction was completely different.

His gaze lingered on the weapons for only a second before immediately shifting to Zhang Qi's face, his eyes behind his glasses sharp enough to pierce through one's soul.

"Is this... a weapon from the Xenomorph world? Did you go back to the Xenomorph world?"

"Yes."

Zhang Qi nodded, calmly confirming Chu Xuan's guess.

"really……"

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, a knowing look in his eyes.

He had noticed the inconspicuous option deep in the God's Exchange List long ago, but the team was in a high-pressure survival cycle and did not have the extra resources or opportunities to conduct such a risky verification.

He didn't expect that Zhang Qi not only thought of it, but also put it into action and brought back such fruitful results.

"Wait, go back to the Alien World? What does that mean?!"

Zheng Zha finally grasped the key to the conversation after his initial shock. He looked eagerly at Chu Xuan and Zhang Qi and asked a question.

"The wisdom of mortals,"

Chu Xuan habitually uttered this comment, and then began to analyze it.

"The Supreme God has the option to return to the horror movie worlds you've experienced in the past."

He didn't keep anyone in suspense and simply explained his findings.

By consuming 10 reward points each day, you can return to the horror movie world you experienced at any time;

If you want to return to an earlier world, you need to consume a D-level side quest to "unlock" it, and then the daily stay fee is 50 reward points.

Zhang Qi added to this:

"Returning to the old world is not just about staying."

The untriggered side quests in those worlds still exist.

Rather than entering a completely unknown and unpredictable next horror movie, we can focus on targeted enhancements and preparations, then return to our familiar world to reap the side quests and rewards we missed before…”

"I can't believe... it can be like this..."

Zheng Zha's expression was incredibly complex, a mixture of shock, frustration, and sudden realization.

Just as everyone was digesting this revolutionary information, Zhan Lan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, her voice carrying a hint of confusion.

"Wait a minute, isn't this illogical?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"If that's the case, then reincarnators can repeatedly farm the rewards of the same world. There's no reason why the main god wouldn't reveal the plot of the next horror movie in advance, would there?" Zhan Lan's brows furrowed slightly as she analyzed the situation clearly.

"It would be easy to return to a relatively safe world by paying a very small price."

In extreme cases, if you only redeem one day's stay each time to complete the simple side quests, the team's safety will be greatly guaranteed.

This suggests that the supreme deity doesn't mind us understanding the specifics of the horror movie world; its purpose may not simply be to make us die.

If that's the case, imagine if we put all our reward points into technological weapons, and then the main god suddenly throws a supernatural horror movie at us, wouldn't we be doomed?

Therefore, for the sake of 'fairness,' or rather, to give us a chance to survive, informing us in advance about the next film is the most logical thing to do..."

Zhan Lan's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

Yes, that's the biggest point of contention.

"indeed so……"

Chu Xuan nodded, acknowledging Zhan Lan's logical chain.

Then, without warning, his gaze slowly shifted to Zhang Jie, who was squatting beside the box, excitedly stroking the pulse rifle.

Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan both entered this space in Resident Evil 1.

But before that, the team had worked on at least three horror films.

According to the records of the Supreme God, these three horror movies are "Final Destination," "A Nightmare on Elm Street," and "Scream."

Three...completely supernatural horror films, where rules kill humans.

Judging from the difficulty shown in "Alien", the survival difficulty of those three movies is probably even greater.

But of all people, only Zhang Jie survived.

Having survived three intense supernatural horror movies, would his enhanced form look like this?
Countless data streams seemed to flash through Chu Xuan's mind. A question he had never thought about deeply before suddenly surfaced and became incredibly clear under the catalysis of Zhan Lan's words.

Zhang Jie... there's definitely something wrong with him.

Just as Chu Xuan's gaze behind his glasses grew colder and the atmosphere in the square became heavy again because of his silence, Zhang Jie seemed completely oblivious.

"Haha! It's so great to have a smart person on the team! I hadn't even noticed these things before!"

He abruptly stood up, clapped his hands with a loud laugh, and exclaimed in exaggerated admiration. He strode over to Chu Xuan, patted him hard on the shoulder, then turned back to the weapon case, warmly greeting the others:
"Come and see, come and see! This thing feels fucking awesome!"

Overlord and Zero couldn't contain themselves any longer and immediately stepped forward, each picking up a pulse rifle. Feeling its heavy weight and cold metallic texture, their faces were full of soldiers' pure love for their weapons.

Zheng Zha's thoughts were also interrupted by this sudden change, and his attention was drawn back to the box of weapons.

Chu Xuan frowned deeply. Zhang Jie's interruption was too deliberate, which made him even more certain of his judgment.

This man is like a time bomb planted within the team; he must be defused immediately.

Just as he was about to speak, a hand gently pressed on his shoulder.

It's Zhang Qi.

Chu Xuan looked at Zhang Qi with some confusion and a questioning look in his eyes.

Zhang Jie's problems are so obvious that ignoring them will lead to endless troubles.

Zhang Qi merely shook his head almost imperceptibly, as if to say: I know, but now is not the time.

Trusting Zhang Qizhi's wisdom, Chu Xuan ultimately chose to remain silent, adjusting his glasses again and temporarily suppressing the speculation that could tear the team apart.

After skillfully pressing down on Chu Xuan and defusing an impending internal storm, Zhang Qi's gaze swept over everyone.

The timing is perfect.

"These weapons are just appetizers."

"Next, I'm going to pull off a big heist. Anyone interested in coming along?"
