It wasn't long before Bawang was the first to open his eyes. He suddenly sprang up from the ground, and only when he clearly saw Chu Xuan and Zheng Zha beside him did the massive Russian man burst into laughter, "You cleared the Alien horror movie, right? Hahaha, so lucky, I'm actually still alive! I even saw former teammates walking toward me just now, I never thought I'd actually survive!" The man laughed loudly, tears even streaming down his face, but Zheng Zha, knowing his history, understood that those tears might not have been from laughter.

Wang Xia also opened his eyes at the same moment. He too scrambled up from the ground, his right hand swiftly reaching for his waist, until he clearly saw Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan. He froze abruptly, then snapped his feet together. He rendered a crisp salute to Chu Xuan: "Colonel!

Lieutenant Wang Xia has reached the designated location, requesting the next course of action." Chu Xuan returned the salute: "At ease. This is not a military camp, nor is it the real world. I mentioned it in the message I sent back to base—those who enter here temporarily relinquish their military rank. Survival is the primary objective.

You are now a member of the Central Continent Team, Wang Xia." Wang Xia hesitated. He had intended to render another salute to conclude the exchange, but seeing Chu Xuan simply lower his hand, he could only reluctantly drop his own, then he curiously surveyed his surroundings, particularly the sphere of light above them—the "Main God." This was the subject that most intrigued him. Bawang stared blankly at Wang Xia, pointing first at Wang Xia, then at himself, and then looking around. Except for Loli, still deeply asleep on the ground, the entire plaza was empty.

His mouth dropped open. "No way! Where are Zhang Jie and the others? And where did this Lieutenant Wang Xia come from?

Was he part of our old team too? Did he survive as well?" Zheng Zha managed a wry smile. "These matters are a bit complicated to explain. For now, both of you should go take a shower, change your clothes, and come back refreshed.

See those room doors along the edge of the plaza? Press the handle, imagine the style of room you want—including the furniture and decorations, you can imagine any size—then pull the door open. That will be your room from now on. Uh, Chu Xuan, you should change too; these desert outfits are truly uncomfortable." The two had been living in Cairo recently, and after the massive battle, their clothes were threadbare.

They had no choice but to buy two sets of black desert robes locally. These garments simply did not align with Chinese aesthetic sensibilities, nor were they as comfortable as casual wear. Although Chu Xuan didn't see it as an issue, he didn't offer any firm objection either, merely turning silently and heading toward a room. Seeing the other three turn away, Zheng Zha walked with a bitter smile to Lolli’s side.

In truth, Lolli couldn't possibly have remained asleep through their loud conversation. In fact, because her current lying posture was unnatural, she had already tentatively moved her arm, a slight motion Zheng Zha had noticed. She was simply choosing to remain on the floor. "Why are you lingering on the ground?

Are you angry with me? My little silly girl." Zheng Zha sat quietly beside Lolli, pulled a cigarette from his breast pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag. While smoking, he murmured softly. Loli suddenly spun around and bit down hard on one of Zheng Zha's arms.

Given Zheng Zha's reaction speed, he could easily have dodged the bite, but the little girl bit with such intensity that Zheng Zha genuinely feared that dodging might shatter her teeth, so he silently kept his arm steady in place. Loli bit down with fierce force, managing to leave two distinct rows of tiny teeth marks on Zheng Zha's arm. Though only a minuscule bead of blood surfaced, the effort left both her jaws aching. Only then did she release her teeth and lift her head.

Zheng Zha took a puff of his cigarette and spoke with a pained smile, "Are you blaming me for not letting you enter the horror movie world with us? I have my reasons, Li'er. You must believe me; I am working constantly so we can return to the real world together. Remember the sister you were with before?

I am fighting to resurrect the men she loved, fighting desperately, so Li'er, stop being willful." Loli rubbed her jaw and replied, "Actually, even if you had taken me, I would have refused. After accompanying someone into Alien Resurrection last time, I knew I was a burden. The only reason I insisted you take me this time was to see if you would keep your promise to me. You scoundrel!

You still lied to me, you're so detestable, even your skin is like old, tough rubber! Hmph, or else I would have bitten you until you were covered in wounds, you big liar!" Zheng Zha paused, then erupted into laughter. He swiftly scooped Lolli up, laughing heartily as he headed toward his own room. Indeed, the entire Central Continent Team was transforming, even Lolli was subtly changing.

Zheng Zha thought to himself, I just hope the Central Continent Team grows stronger, and the members become more united. "The situation is basically as I explained earlier. You have already died through several horror movies. In fact, out of the entire Central Continent Team, I was the only one who survived; only I managed to cling to life during the battle against the Demon Reincarnation Squad.

Therefore... we must resurrect the former members of the Central Continent Team and make this squad the strongest among all reincarnation squads!" In Zheng Zha's quarters, the other three had already finished dressing. Since the four men weren't much for cooking, and Bawang and Wang Xia's military cooking skills yielded results best left uneaten, they were fortunate that Lolli possessed some culinary talent. Thus, Zheng Zha had pulled the other three over for a simple meal.

Before eating, Zheng Zha gave them a rough outline of events during his time away, emphasizing that they had already died and that resurrection could only be used once—meaning, if they died again, it would be final. Contrary to his expectation, Wang Xia and Bawang seemed surprisingly calm. They showed neither shock nor fear but offered Zheng Zha sincere thanks before quietly sipping their tea. Zheng Zha smiled wryly.

"You don't seem very excited. Hahaha, forget it, perhaps I was overreacting. That's generally the situation. Next up is the next horror movie and the weapons you wish to obtain." "The next horror movie is The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2.

As Chu Xuan predicted, the difficulty level of the horror movie has suddenly dropped. This is a biological combat film, even less difficult than sci-fi horror films. Although the number and size of the dinosaurs might increase the challenge, this is a film that can be entirely solved with weaponry. Even standard heavy weapons can take down dinosaurs.

The most crucial point is that the sheer quantity of dinosaurs in this movie might very well be our greatest opportunity. We just need to know if killing dinosaurs yields reward points. If it does, we'll slaughter every single dinosaur on that island in Jurassic Park 2! Everyone, state the type of weapon you desire now." Although Chu Xuan had contacted the "Main God" to review many exchange items, he lacked captain-level permissions and couldn't search quickly or conveniently.

Therefore, this task had to fall to Zheng Zha, as rapid searching of enhancements and exchanges at the "Main God" interface was one of the captain's greatest conveniences. Bawang spoke first: "I need a heavy weapon. If it's a multi-barrel rotary cannon, I hope for..." Zheng Zha smiled and cut in, "Don't mention modern weaponry. I currently have a respectable number of reward points, and branch plot lines aren't scarce either.

Since you both have no second chances at revival, equipping you with the best gear is what we must do now. Each of you can use one C-rank branch plot line plus 2,500 reward points. Calculated that way, you could certainly get a Tubular Pulse Accelerator Gun. It uses a different technology from Gauss weaponry to accelerate solid projectiles in pulses; its power is nearly double that of Gauss weapons.

The drawback is reloading—it needs a new clip every three seconds of firing. To suit your role as a heavy firepower specialist, I plan to exchange one C-rank branch plot line, 'Lend Your Tiger's Might,' plus 2,000 reward points for a Tubular Pulse Accelerator Gun with infinite ammunition." Bawang listened, slightly dazed, but he didn't object, merely nodding and sitting quietly. Wang Xia looked toward Chu Xuan, then nodded and stated, "My expertise lies in setting up explosive devices and mines. Demolitions are my specialty, and I have some minor skill in medium-to-short range suppressive fire." Zheng Zha nodded.

"So, I will exchange for you fifty Ultra-High Explosive Mines and ten time-fused Ultra-High Explosive Plasticine Charges, plus the Gravity High-Power Mine, which requires three D-rank branch plot lines and 500 reward points. Honestly, even I don't know how powerful this thing is, so when you place it, you must imagine its power to be immense. Furthermore, to enhance your sensitivity when laying mines or explosives, this time I will boost your Muscle Strength and Neural Reaction Speed by one hundred points each. Apologies, but each person can only use their reward points and branch plot lines to enhance others once per horror movie.

I'll use mine on you now." Wang Xia only nodded silently. His demeanor was very similar to Bawang's, though his posture was significantly more upright, radiating an undeniable military bearing. Bawang's posture, conversely, was somewhat bold and roguish, suggesting his life as a mercenary had left a deep mark. After their weapon selections were finalized, Chu Xuan stated calmly, "I have nothing specific that needs enhancing.

Two hydrogen-powered Gauss pistols with infinite ammunition, each requiring one D-rank branch plot line and 1,500 reward points..." Zheng Zha nodded. He did a quick calculation of his expenditures. The apparent costs alone included 2,000 reward points and one C-rank branch plot line for Bawang, over 4,000 reward points and one C-rank branch plot line for Wang Xia, and 3,000 reward points for Chu Xuan, along with two D-rank branch plot lines. In total, he had spent over 9,000 reward points and used two C-rank and two D-rank branch plot lines.

He was left with just over 1,000 reward points, two B-rank branch plot lines, and one D-rank branch plot line. "As expected, money vanishes quickly. Or rather, reward points vanish quickly. Merely exchanging for a few weapons and I've instantly gone from millionaire to pauper." Zheng Zha couldn't help but smile bitterly while making the exchanges.

However, when all the items materialized, he was genuinely stunned. These high-tech pieces of equipment were certainly awe-inspiring. That Tubular Pulse Accelerator Gun was nearly two meters long, slightly larger than his own multi-barrel cannon. Since its exchange value was also higher than the multi-barrel cannon, regardless of its power, the sleek, luminous firing signature, the shimmering silver metal, and the incredibly cool design made Bawang clutch the weapon almost maniacally, looking like a pervert who had just found the perfect beauty—he only refrained from biting it.

Wang Xia watched the Tubular Pulse Accelerator Gun with envy until his specialized mines and bombs were exchanged. He had been expecting the Gravity High-Power Mines, but what appeared were three pitch-black spheres, looking nothing like high-powered weaponry, which caused Wang Xia to frown. What remained were Chu Xuan's Gauss pistols. They appeared smaller and more compact than his own heavy pistol, featuring the same shimmering surface—the cool aesthetic of firearms from sci-fi movies.

However, Chu Xuan didn't examine the two weapons closely; he smoothly slipped them into the sleeves of his arms and then, acting as if nothing had happened, looked toward the three men. "Let's go. We should test the power of these future-tech weapons in the basement. It will certainly be astonishing."
