Chapter 220: Preparation!
In fact, Zheng Zha underestimated his own strength. His current strength is definitely above the three highs. Although before reaching the fourth level, his body has not undergone a qualitative change, making it difficult to resist the power of heavy weapons, but the premise is that you stand still and take the hits.
Even the slowest warriors at the highest level can exceed the speed of sound, and their perception and reaction abilities are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. For firearms to hit such powerful individuals, they would need to be well-prepared beforehand, set traps, and then bombard them with firepower.
Otherwise, a single high-ranking soldier could easily defeat a modern division.
"So what do you think we should do? Set a trap and start a war, or try to make contact and see if we can coexist peacefully?"
Zheng Zha asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Honglu began to think again.
"Don't pull your hair carelessly, or you'll become bald."
Seeing Xiao Honglu pulling at her hair again, Zhan Lan quickly pulled him away.
"No, after my cerebral cortex mutated, the reproductive speed of my scalp hair roots also mutated. Even if I pluck all my hair, it will all grow back in a short time. Because when I think, my scalp gets very itchy, and I wish I could scratch it raw. So I can't scratch my head no matter what. At most, I can only pluck a hair to create a little pain. Don't worry about me."
Xiao Honglu pushed Zhan Lan away.
"My suggestion is to go to war directly. The probability of peaceful coexistence is too low, and we can't waste this opportunity."
"Moreover, our team is quite well-balanced, with snipers, assassins, front-line fighters, support players, and even mages. With good teamwork, we can easily bridge the gap in strength."
Xiao Honglu doesn't believe that every team is as perfect as the Zhongzhou team. Moreover, they only entered the competition three days in advance, so the difference in strength isn't too great. With proper preparation, the odds of both sides winning are about 50/50, which is enough to warrant a fight.
"It was all Lin Yu's initial suggestion; otherwise, we probably would have strengthened it arbitrarily on our own."
Zheng Zha was somewhat relieved that he had listened to the advice at the time; otherwise, if everyone had been allowed to strengthen themselves at will, they would have been even weaker now.
Xiao Honglu glanced at Lin Yu, not surprised, after all, mages are usually wise men.
"Lin Yu, what do you think of Xiao Honglu's performance?"
Although he asked that question, Zheng Zha was actually very satisfied. At such a young age, he had such ability and was definitely qualified to join the Zhongzhou team.
Xiao Honglu looked at Lin Yu, slightly nervous. Although he was confident in his performance, he didn't know if he could gain Lin Yu's approval.
"It's pretty good for a child, but it's far inferior to Chu Xuan."

Lin Yu's words immediately made Xiao Honglu's heart race. Did he not receive recognition?
"Chu Xuan? He's different. Xiao Honglu is just a child. Don't be too harsh on him."
Zheng Zha said to Lin Yu.
Xiao Honglu's analysis was correct, but Zheng Zha was absolutely certain that if it were Chu Xuan, he would definitely have a better way.
However, it's unfair to compare Xiao Honglu, a mere child, with Chu Xuan.
"That's right. After all, he's just a kid with a promising future. Let's make him a probationary member first, and then officially appoint him after the horror movie ends."
Lin Yu naturally wouldn't scare Xiao Honglu too much; he just planned to give him a little blow so that he wouldn't get too carried away like in the original story and would have to think more carefully when faced with problems.
Lin Yu didn't care about Xiao Honglu's analysis. He knew too little information, so it was already good enough that he could analyze it to this extent.
Moreover, all of this is meaningless to Lin Yu, who possesses fourth-tier strength.
Xiao Honglu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but immediately felt somewhat unwilling. Was his performance really that mediocre? Or was that Chu Xuan really that amazing?
Just as Xiao Honglu was about to ask about Chu Xuan, the male and female protagonists who were walking in front of the group suddenly stopped. They seemed to be discussing something. Only after the female protagonist and her brother left did the male protagonist, O'Connor, continue walking into the alley ahead.
The group exchanged glances, but still followed them inside. As soon as they turned the corner, they saw O'Connor standing there, looking at them warily.
"Fellow inmates, I don't think you were deliberately following me, were you?"
O'Connor gave a wary, cold laugh.
Zheng Zha simply laughed and said, "Haha, I heard you mention Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, before—"
Upon hearing the name Hamnata, O'Connor's pupils contracted, and he instinctively reached for his lower back. However, having just been released from prison, how could he possibly have a gun?
However, his actions startled Zheng Zha, who immediately took out a mini submachine gun.
Upon seeing Zheng Zha pull out a gun, O'Connor immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"Haha, brother, you must have misheard. What 'City of the Dead'?"
Seeing O'Connor's expression, Zheng Zha smiled slightly.
"Hehe, I won't say anything more. I have no ill intentions. I just hope you can take us to the City of the Dead. We will take care of your safety. In fact, we were the ones who saved you just now."
O'Connor was somewhat confused, but Zheng Zha smiled at Zero and then pointed to a sharp steel corner on the roof of a building in the distance, at least a kilometer away. O'Connor looked at it in bewilderment, and then heard a soft sound as the steel corner snapped off.
O'Connor turned around in shock, just in time to see Zero put a strange pistol into his pocket.
"—Don't point that gun at me, absolutely not—"
Both the unimaginable weapon and Zero's powerful sniping ability made O'Connor understand that he had no power to refuse.
Thus, under duress, O'Connor had no choice but to agree to take them to the City of the Dead.
Of course, in order to get O'Connor to work diligently, Zheng Zha offered him several gold bars as a reward, which greatly appeased O'Connor's dissatisfaction.
"You guys stay here for now. I'll go sell the gold—and buy some guns and ammunition while I'm at it. Of course, I imagine you probably don't need any guns, right?"
After leading everyone to his hotel, O'Connor began.
Zheng Zha, of course, couldn't let O'Connor leave alone, so he took out another gold bar and handed it to him, saying, "For certain reasons, we have to stay by your side, but we will definitely not be stingy with money."
O'Connor was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He simply took the gold bars and said, "Then we'd better set off quickly. I promised that woman that I would meet them in Giza Port tomorrow morning. The black market at night is very dangerous, and I don't want to be shot in the back."
""
So the group set off immediately. Before long, O'Connor easily exchanged the gold bars for money, then bought a large bag of weapons, as well as some new clothes and shoes. The whole process took just over an hour, and when they returned to the inn, it was still a long time before dark.
