"Yes, you heard those two voices, and look at your watch."
Wu Jie looked down and found that the original distance limit was no longer there.
"So that's the purpose of following." Wu Jie understood. After making sure no one nearby could hear him, Wu Jie pulled Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha to discuss: "The Lord God's restriction is to allow us to enter the hive, not to force us to follow him closely. Once we enter, we are free."
"free?"
Zheng Zha smiled bitterly. The word sounded a bit ironic.
Although it is called freedom, in reality you still have to follow the mercenary team.
The Lord God has modified the plot. It is very likely that there are a large number of zombies active on the train. Going up the stairs is not the same as going down the stairs. If you climb back from here, you may have to face a large group of zombies as soon as you reach the train. By then, they will be exhausted from climbing the stairs and it will be a question whether they can swing the iron bars.
Unless you have a physique beyond that of an ordinary person and strong enough heavy firepower, going back now would be suicide.
And it would be even more suicidal to leave the mercenary team and wander around here. The zombies in the hive are not decorations. As I said before, without heavy firepower, you are seeking death.
"The Lord God is really calculating everything."
"Don't think too easily of the Lord God. Who knows what else might be waiting for us later."
Zhang Jie came over at some point and added thoughtfully.
"What exactly is the Lord God?"
In response to Zhan Lan's question, Zhang Jie could only offer a vague answer: "The Lord God appears as a giant ball of light, suspended in mid-air. I initially thought it was some kind of out-of-control artificial intelligence, like in the movies, but now I'm not so sure. The only thing I know for sure is that in its eyes, we're just bugs. We're struggling desperately here, just to amuse it, constantly facing fear, extreme pain, and collapse."
"What are you afraid of? Since ancient times, insects have never been eradicated."
Wu Jie's words amused the others, and Zhan Lan even asked, "Do you also watch The Three-Body Problem?"
"Look, why not?"
Wu Jie thought about it and realized that the timeline of Infinite Horror is 2007-2008. Generally speaking, it is set in 2008, which is also the time when The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest was published.
As a writer, it is normal for Zhan Lan to know this.
"Heh, your mentality is actually better than those two."
"Hey, I didn't want to live before I came here anyway. I came here and ran instead of waiting to die because I wanted to see more different scenery before I died. At least I should see the Lickers in the movies, right? It would be so embarrassing to die running down the stairs."
"Are you sick?" Zhang Jie heard this and said, "If you are sick, don't be afraid. The Lord God can heal you."
"Does the Lord provide medical care?"
"As long as you have enough reward points and are alive after returning to the Lord God's space, even if you only have a head left, or even theoretically, as long as you have a single cell left, the Lord God can completely repair you and make you even stronger. Modern medicine's terminal illnesses are nothing but a joke in front of the Lord God."
Zhang Jie leaned against the wall and said to the three people, "Since you have worked hard, I will give you a message: All human beings have one thing in common. As long as there is breath, people will always retain, even if it is only a glimmer of hope."
"Every time you pass a horror movie, the Lord God will give us a guaranteed reward of 1,000 reward points. These can be used to exchange for items, strengthen your physical fitness, and repair your injuries. As long as you accumulate enough reward points, you can redeem them to return to reality."
"Really? How much?"
"fifty thousand!"
Fifty thousand, fifty games? No problem, no exchange.
Zheng Zha felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"That's okay. Let's change the conversion method. 50,000 zombies. Doesn't that make you feel better?"
Fifty thousand zombies?
Even 50,000 pigs can kill them!
But no matter what, at least there is hope.
Wu Jie also realized that this Zhang Jie might be a stitched version of Zhang Jie.
Why do you say that?
Because the Zhang Jie in the original novel has a very bad temper and looks like a soldier, but this Zhang Jie is more reliable, and his character and appearance are closer to the anime than the original.
Is that why you tell us this, to give us motivation?
Taking advantage of the last bit of time, a few people also discussed the monsters in Resident Evil 1.
"If the Lord God doesn't modify the plot and add the game version, then we'll only have to deal with zombies and lickers. The former are fine; they can be easily killed with firearms at a sufficient distance, or even with cold weapons like we did on the train. But the latter are simply beyond human control. To kill a licker, you'll need an RPG at the very least. If they're added to the game, then we might have to face the tyrant."
Wu Jie added, "There are also hunters, mutant plants, mutant animals, and I don't know about the others, but is a monster like a licker really only worth a hundred reward points?"
A Licker, even if it's just the Licker in the first film, has the ability to easily slaughter an elite army in the cold weapon era.
Claws that can cut through iron like mud, a tongue that is too fast to be judged by the naked eye, plus the toxins that will definitely infect anyone who scratches it, the fearlessness of death, the emotionless characteristics of a super beast, and the ability to constantly evolve.
In the Dawn Age, if a rookie team encountered a Licker, it would at least be a D-level side story monster.
Infinite Dawn and Infinite Terror are the third and first generations of the reincarnation world respectively.
The first generation was all very poor, the Lord God was as stingy as he could be, and for some reason the Zhongzhou team was the poorest team among the first generation.
The third generation was incredibly wealthy. One team leader once said that the typical profit from a horror film was a B-level side storyline plus tens of thousands of bonus points. And that wasn't the team's profit, it was the individual's.
This is outrageous for the first generation.
"Stop complaining. The Lord God doesn't care about your complaints. Let's go."
Yes, it's time to go.
Next, they will face the place that can be said to be a holy place in the entire Infinite series. Basically, every protagonist of the Infinite Horror fan fiction has to go there and earn their first pot of gold.

I am so touched. I have received two recommendation votes right after posting. I will add another chapter.
