Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 69 Let go of the need to help others
Zhao Yingkong felt that this world had gone mad!
She was born into the Zhao family, a family of assassins, and was the most outstanding genius among her generation.

I just clicked on some random option and ended up in this godforsaken place.

Then someone picked her up like a chick and used extraordinary strength to knead and flatten her...

In the instant she was restrained, Zhao Yingkong instinctively unlocked the first-tier gene lock, wanting to continue relying on her powerful and reliable strength that she depended on for survival.

But it was all in vain; her physique, far exceeding the limits of ordinary people, was not enough for her to break free.

The only saving grace was that the "crisis warning" didn't give any alerts, and the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent towards me.

With her bewildered eyes focused on her target, Zhao Yingkong noticed that the people standing there were dressed remarkably similarly.

Despite being a genius from an assassin family, Zhao Yingkong does things that ordinary girls do in addition to rigorous training—such as reading comics, novels, or watching movies.

These five men and two women seemed quite interested in me.

They were all wearing a silver-white armor... somewhat similar to Iron Man from the Marvel series.

The armor covered his entire body, and the helmet was not closed, leaving only his head exposed. Complex firearms and weapons were mounted on his waist and back.

No matter how you look at it... it has nothing to do with the concept of "normal people". It's more like a high-tech combat squad in a movie.

"You woke up so quickly?"

Zheng Zha couldn't help but click his tongue. This seemingly underage boy's slender body was clearly not as simple as it appeared.

Is he actually more physically fit than that big white man from a fighting nation?
"This is... a girl?"

Zhan Lan also focused her attention on Zhao Yingkong, and the moment her mental energy swept over her, she recognized her true gender.

"Why are you still tied up so tightly? This can't go on."

Upon hearing this, even though Zhao Yingkong was in a fighting state and had a blank expression, a faint blush still appeared on her cheeks.

—They actually detected the S-level equipment, Zhao Family Chest Wrap, right away... No wonder it's a mental energy scanner.

Adhering to the principle of handling things gently, Fang Ge dissipated the golden energy hand, and the assassin girl simply bent her knees and landed steadily on the ground.

A warm current entered her body at that moment, and the comfortable feeling flowing through her limbs and bones allowed Zhao Yingkong to exit the state of genetic lock.

The backlash from unlocking, which she was already used to... the intense pain was much weaker under the suppression of the warm current, not even enough to make her break out in a cold sweat.

Incredible...

Zhao Yingkong sensed the scent of extraordinary power within it... She needed this power that could distort reality.

"Does it seem unbelievable, Miss Zhao? Because this is no longer the real world."

The moment the words left his mouth, Fang Ge focused his attention on himself, and the gazes directed at him became three.

Jinxi knew that Fang Ge was trying to bring the "Permanent Sisters" back to their positions again, and apart from watching her, she did not make any moves or say anything.

Jinxi could tacitly accept all of this, but that didn't stop her from having some minor emotional outbursts.

Zhan Lan smiled outwardly, but secretly she used a mental link to connect with her lover, requesting a voice chat:

"You know her?"

"Do you know me?" Zhao Yingkong asked warily.

—You're the number one foodie on the Infinite Worlds list, the cow assassin born from Z's wildly popular food scene... How could I not know you? You can't even imagine how well I know you!
Control your surface thoughts and don't let Zhan Lan notice anything amiss.

Fang Ge gave Chu Xuan a look, signaling him to take charge of the explanation.

Chu Xuan lived up to expectations and gave the answer: "Superhuman physical abilities, specialized nails and physique, and an Asian face... most likely a member of the Zhao family, a family of assassins."

"An assassin family?" Zheng Zha scratched his chin. "Do such families still exist in reality?"

"You've practiced so many real-world martial arts manuals, but you haven't learned many skills. Shouldn't your knowledge have increased at least a little?"

As soon as Fang Ge spoke, Zheng Zha stopped asking questions with an embarrassed smile.

He always had a knack for dealing with curious chimpanzees.

Zhan Lan's womanly intuition told her that Fang Ge's reason for recognizing Zhao Yingkong was not so simple.

She couldn't help but send a telepathic message: "Big Sister Jinxi...why aren't you stepping up your efforts at a time like this?"

“He’s always been like this, you’ll get used to it.” Jin Xi’s cool reply traveled through the mental link into Zhan Lan’s mind.

It was a truly laughable answer; Zhan Lan finally understood why she had succeeded so easily.

Just as Zhan Lan was pondering silently, Wang Xia suddenly flipped up from the ground, his right hand quickly reaching for his waist.

He froze when he saw Chu Xuan clearly. Then, he brought his feet together and gave Chu Xuan a military salute, saying:

"Colonel! Lieutenant Wang Xia arrived at the designated location and requested the next action plan."

Chu Xuan returned the greeting and said, "At ease, welcome to the Main God Space. You are now a member of the Central Continent Team, Wang Xia... Remember, survival is the primary goal."

"This is Fang Ge, the captain of the Central Continent Team. His orders take precedence over mine."

Wang Xia was taken aback, and after a moment's thought, he decided to salute Fang Ge.

Unexpectedly, it was interrupted by a sudden situation.

"Damn it, you say this is heaven? I absolutely believe this is heaven!"

Suddenly, such a roar erupted from among the newcomers.

A burly man from Northeast China, his face flushed red, stood there and roared in a gruff voice:

"I was clearly doing business online, and I only clicked on a pop-up ad. How did I suddenly end up here?"

"Damn it, don't think I'm stupid. You guys knock me out with a tranquilizer dart from behind, then move me to some deserted place to scare and extort money from me, right? Don't think that's creative. Countless people have already tried it..."

—What a classic scene… How much did you drink? You weren’t even afraid of Iron Man?

"I'll give a more detailed self-introduction later. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Fang Ge patted Wang Xia on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to be so reserved.

He found it hard to suppress his laughter when he heard the "classic quote" from the drunken, burly Northeastern man.

A burly man from Northeast China, from Jiangyin, is said to be protected by a guardian spirit. He possesses some necromancy talent, but unfortunately, he's difficult to manage and tends to let things down in crucial moments.

Qi Tengyi, standing to the side, was a complete replacement for him, so Fang Ge didn't intend to waste any energy on him.

The Zhongzhou team is full of talent and doesn't lack such half-baked individuals.

Zheng Zha noticed that his captain seemed to want to let things continue like this. Although he was puzzled, he did not immediately stop the burly man from Northeast China.

The light screen disappeared at that moment, and a large group of newlyweds began to chatter and make noise.

That burly man from Northeast China took the lead and started walking away into the distance!

Zheng Zha then quickly said, "Don't act rashly! This is your first horror movie. You are much more vulnerable than us. At the very least, you need to figure out what this place is..."

Fang Ge gestured for him to shut up, then said, "Zheng Zha, you should remember what the requirements are for entering the Main God Space, right?"

“…Disappointed with reality, feeling that life is meaningless.” Zheng Zha gave his answer after a moment’s thought.

"If there were an iron house, with no windows and impossible to break down, and many people were sleeping inside, they would soon suffocate."

Fang Ge began to quote classical texts:
"But they die in their sleep, without feeling the sorrow of dying. Now you shout and wake them all up, to make them suffer this irreparable, dying agony. Do you think you are doing right by them?"

"Anyone with a modicum of will to survive, wouldn't they notice the special characteristics of us and the special characteristics of the Main God Space?"

"Since they don't care about their own lives, there's no need to force them to keep struggling. Dying is easy, but living requires a lot of courage."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha fell silent.

He wanted to refute it, but he didn't know how.

Let go of the urge to help others and respect their fate...

Until the burly man from Northeast China left with a sparse group of thugs, only 15 reincarnators remained.

"That's about it. Zhan Lan, explain the rules of the Main God Space to the newcomers. There are 100 reward points."

"But……"
