Chapter 15: An Interlude Before the Return
Chapter 15: An Interlude Before the Return
"James, I'll leave it to you to stay here with your squad and wait for orders."
Liu Qianhuang gave the order to James.
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission, sir."
James assured him.
"Alice, I know you have many questions, but please believe me. Belief needs no reason. When we meet again, I will definitely tell you more information about Umbrella."
Looking at Alice, who was about to ask a question, Liu Qianhuang assured her.
"And you, Red Queen, don't spy on me, or I'll blow you up."
After giving his instructions to everyone, Liu Qianhuang led the Zhongzhou team outside.
"Oily lumps!"
Once out of sight of the characters in the story, Liu Qianhuang put his hands on Zhang Jie's shoulders and said as if relieved.
What does it mean.
Zhang Jie had lost count of how many times he had wondered what the other person meant that day. He felt that the other person might not be some other kind of humanoid being, but it was certainly far removed from humanity.
"You're so moved you can't speak, aren't you?"
Looking at the stunned Zhang Jie, Liu Qianhuang thought to himself, "I can only say that this guy truly lives up to his reputation as Han Xin, Zhou Yafu, and Bai Qi!"
"I'm so glad you're all alright." He began to explain why he was in this situation. "This horror movie was Resident Evil, which was relatively simple, since there weren't any supernatural forces involved. If it were a horror movie like Ju-on, it would be much more difficult."
"After all, as reincarnators, shouldn't we help each other?"
"Yes, Brother Shi Ming is right."
Li Xiaoyi was the first to flatter him.
Me too.
Logan followed closely behind. It was clear that he really wanted to pilot a Gundam.
"So, are there reincarnated beings who don't help each other? Is it because your teammates hurt you in the past?"
"I asked curiously," Zhan Lan said. She even imagined a whole emotional drama in her mind in an instant. It has to be said that she has gained a lot of inspiration since coming to the Main God Space.
"That's not the case. You don't think there's only one Reincarnation Squad in the Main God Space, do you? Otherwise, just call it the Reincarnation Squad, why bother with the Central Continent Squad?"
Liu Qianhuang shook his head and said.
"You mean there are other teams of reincarnators here?"
Zheng Zha was the first to realize that even without an external brain, his intelligence was not low.
"Yes, besides the Central Continent Team, there are many other teams under the command of the Main God, but that's not important. The key point is that some of these teams are breeder teams."
At this point, Liu Qianhuang's expression turned gloomy.
He can say with certainty that no one understands the farmers' team better than him.
"A livestock breeder team, what's that?"
Li Xiaoyi asked curiously.
"Yes, what is a breeder team?"
Luo Gandao followed closely behind.
"They're just a bunch of parasites. They have no real skills, but because they're more senior than others and have experienced more horror movies, they team up or eliminate other senior members to force newcomers to hand over their spoils from those horror movies," Liu Qianhuang explained the breeders in a hostile tone. "And it's not just about stealing reward points. The main god has a dynamic difficulty balancing mechanism. The easier you clear one horror movie, the harder the next one will be. To lower the difficulty, they'll use the power of the horror movies to kill some of the bred reincarnators. I've killed quite a few breeders like that."
But it doesn't matter. Once the team battles begin, those farmers will become his sweet and delicious reward points. As for killing quite a few farmers, that's not entirely untrue, since he did kill quite a few during his role-playing games.
"Forget about those unlucky things. This horror movie scared me to death. You know, I've never seen Resident Evil 1 before, not even a picture book. I was completely clueless about the plot."
Liu Qianhuang scratched his head, speaking somewhat awkwardly.
"In other words, Brother Shi Ming was just improvising. Brother, your eloquence is amazing! You made the other party treat you like the boss with just a few words."
Li Xiaoyi praised from the side.
"Yes, Brother Shi Ming impressed James with just a few words. Captain Shi Ming is invincible."
Luo Gandao followed closely behind.
"There's no need for such praise."
At this point, Liu Qianhuang lowered his head. "After all, when Resident Evil was first released, I was just a kid. As for me, Brother Shi Ming, I grew up in a single-parent family. My mother was very busy and didn't have time to spend with me. Because I always stayed at home alone, I was afraid to watch horror movies."
Li Xiaoyi was stunned. He had never encountered this situation before. At this moment, if he said the wrong thing, all the goodwill he had received would be wiped out.
"You're so dense, get moving!"
Li Xiaoyi could only worry anxiously in his heart.
"It's okay, I understand."
Luo Gandao patted Liu Qianhuang on the back to comfort him.
"It's okay, don't be sad, you're a grown-up now."
Zhan Lan stroked Liu Qianhuang's head, comforting him. She hadn't expected that the seemingly omnipotent veteran who could single-handedly handle a horror movie was actually just a child who had only recently grown up.
"Do you need me to go over there and borrow some tissues for you?"
Zhao Yingkong asked in a friendly manner.
However, Liu Qianhuang's next words shattered everyone's composure.
"So, when I was a kid, I only played games by myself, like Resident Evil 1 and such. And when it came to watching movies, it was all the ones adapted from games, like Resident Evil 1 and such."
"We still have plenty of time, so I think we can try to improve our score."
Ignoring the astonished crowd, Liu Qianhuang patted Zhang Jie on the shoulder. "Zhang Jie, you truly are my Wu Zixu, Shang Yang, and Li Si! So, please, for my sake, go and investigate those flooded areas, and see if there are any powerful monsters that have spawned due to the actions of the main god."
Who is Zhang Jie? Zhang Jie is his Deng Ai, Yu Qian, and Tan Daoji. Let alone asking him to find monsters, even if he were asked to kill his own parents, he wouldn't even blink an eye.
Indeed, they are Zhang Jie's parents after all. What business is it of theirs to guide Zhang Jie? They've already done it, so let's just pretend it never happened.
"Why do I keep feeling like you're cursing me to die? Of all the people you mentioned, did any of them have a peaceful end?"
Zhang Jie wondered to himself, but he remained calm and made excuses.
"Shi Ming, I've already experienced three horror movies, yet I'm still living a mediocre life, wasting my days. Can I stop going? I'm tired."
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoyi pulled Luo Gandao aside and whispered something in his ear.
"No, what do you mean you know what my older brother does? Are you also from a single-parent family?"
"no."
Luo Gandao shook his head.
"Then why are you bringing this up?"
Li Xiaoyi's tone became somewhat angry.
"I am an orphan."
"Rogan responded."
