Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Chapter 219 Zhan Lan VS Morpheus

Morpheus put his hands behind his back, walked to the middle of the room and said calmly:

"All of this is unbelievable, but if you look closely you will find that your clothes have changed and the connection sockets on your arms and behind your head are gone."

"Even your hairstyle has changed. What you look like now is what we call it. The residual self-awareness image."

“In other words, it’s your mental mapping of your own image.”

"You are in your inner world, that's how you look."

Listening to Morpheus's explanation, Zhan Lan's memory of the Matrix movie became clearer and clearer.

She looked at the wooden doors and windows beside her, groping around and feeling the unique touch in her hands.

"So, none of this is true?"

Morpheus smiled slightly on his dark face, as if he had heard many similar words:
A pair of eyes stared at Zhan Lan and said lightly:
"What's true?"

Looking at Morpheus's expression, Zhan Lan knew that he acted too "ignorant" and aroused his suspicion.

"That's why I let you upload all your fighting skills into my brain."

"But these don't mean you can really integrate them and use them in actual combat."

Smiled slightly, and then said:

Hearing this answer, Zhan Lan laughed miserably and murmured:
"Sounds familiar, Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water? Is this a virtual world?"

"There's no better way to adapt than to fight."

"As for why I know so little about these, I have already said that it is because some memories are damaged due to the time traveling through consciousness."

And Morpheus dodged and dodged as if he had foreseen it.

Without caring about the difference between men and women, he patted towards the heart and Adam's apple.

"One last tip I'll give you."

Morpheus finished speaking without waiting for Zhan Lan to agree.

"So since I agreed, I will teach you well."

"There's even a superficial muscle memory."

Morpheus is agile and his moves are quick and accurate.

"What is your definition of reality?"

He staggered his feet half a step, dodged sideways, and immediately punched back, hoping to hit the joint halfway.

Morpheus heard this statement again and did not answer Zhan Lan's question.

Morpheus nodded and looked at Zhan Lan in surprise:

The whole person fell silent instantly.

He said seriously to Zhan Lan:

Zhan Lan was already prepared, following the subconscious reaction in his brain.

"Although I don't quite believe what you say, everyone who can independently escape from the matrix is ​​a friend I recognize."

Looking at the stunned Zhan Lan, Morpheus stood up and walked to the other end of the practice room:
“If what you think of as reality refers to what can be sensed, smelled, tasted, and seen, then the so-called reality is nothing more than an electronic signal processed by your brain.”

But in the next second, Morpheus's expression changed.

"Come on, I'll be your sparring partner today."

"There are gaps in the real history that I know. So I don't know the name of AI, maybe it's like what you said."

"Through the Looking Glass? What is it?"

"Why don't you believe that I am a human from the future?"

"Morpheus, in this matrix world, you believe in the prophets and saviors."

“Your brain memory has learned all the fighting postures and methods of exerting force.

Drawing a semicircle with both hands for support, he staggered his steps forward, turned around and took two sharp steps at the same time.

Morpheus showed a thoughtful expression:

"I have said before that the world I live in does not have the application of virtual world technology because it is taboo technology."

Instead, he regained his stance, with his left hand forming a palm and his right hand moving back, bending his knees and taking a lunge.

Zhan Lan came back to his senses and said casually:
"It's what you call AI, or artificial intelligence. It can control human beings' five senses to achieve the purpose of deception."

Morpheus turned around and wondered:

"You said you are a human from the future, so come on, beat me. As long as you win, I will believe everything you say!"

"I bear the responsibility of protecting the savior, so I came to you."

"You must know that the rules of this world are no different from those of the matrix world. Some you can change and use, and some you can break and change!"

"But what do you think about..."

After Zhan Lan looked around, he looked at his hands.

I saw a palm strike that I had originally dodged, but was hit in the waist.

The whole person suddenly fell to the ground.

Zhan Lan did not stop his attack, quickly stepped forward and raised his leg.

Then tighten your waist.

The instep of his foot went down like a whip and hit Morpheus's face without hesitation.

As a last resort, Morpheus, who was lying on the ground, slapped his palms to the ground, and his legs tightened and rotated.

He used the strength from his lower back to jump up.

Zhan Lan, on the other hand, straightened his whip legs and stepped hard on the ground. His whole body turned his shoulders and charged towards Morpheus who had just turned over.

Morpheus, whose center of gravity was unstable, was knocked away by Zhan Lan's iron mountain as soon as he stood up.

He fell heavily onto the wooden post behind him and bounced off.

Although Morpheus was staggered by the fall, he did not hesitate in his movements. He quickly turned over and regained his posture.

Looking at the oriental woman not far away, she had one hand raised and her left arm hanging high, and her whole body became strangely quiet.

at the same time.

As Morpheus closed his eyes.

After seeing this scene, the tank in the main cabin shouted excitedly to the back of the spacecraft:

"Quick, the captain and this woman are going to fight!"

"And the boss just suffered a loss."

Listening to the roar of the tank, Trinity, not far away, took off her welding mask.

Tank's brother, Dowser, also stood up from his driver's seat.

Then came Aibok with curly hair, Sevis with golden and white hair, and Seifer with a bald head and a wretched face.

Even the youngest rat, who was dressed in rags, came over curiously.

After all, living on this battleship and spaceship, there are very few entertainment options.

A stranger's fight is the best spice in their lives.

On the screen, a man and a woman were seen fighting each other again.

In the practice room.

Morpheus' eyes were firm, he raised his fists, shrugged his shoulders, and struck again.

Zhan Lan, who was not far across the way, had just adapted.

I also gradually understood the true meaning, or rules, of this "world".

Just like what Morpheus just said.

The virtual world is always a virtual world, a world perceived spiritually.

Although Zhan Lan can't snap his fingers like he did a few days ago.

After all, it was because of Zhang Jie's backhand.

When Zhan Lan's spirit is boiling, he can activate this finger snap independently.

And it was just like this that Zhan Lan rescued Zheng Zha and completed his return and awakening with his autonomous control consciousness.

Although it is impossible to stop time and space at that time.

But because of his huge mental power, this mentalist still quickly adapted to the "rules" around him.

Zhan Lan whispered in his heart:

The rules of the "world" are broken and changed, and used accordingly.

Like right now, does the world really need to breathe?
No. In fact, it is not needed, because "self" is just the embodiment of spiritual will.

After thinking about this, Zhan Lan's eyes suddenly became blank.

This is also the first time she has officially entered the gene lock independently.

And it is still in a strange state where the spirit is separated from the body.

Zhan Lan had no breath in his mouth and nose at this moment.

The heart of this body condensed by spiritual will also stopped beating simultaneously.

The whole person was just like Morpheus, extremely calm.

And it was this change that shocked Morpheus halfway.

But what came next was the existence that overturned his worldview.

Closer to home.

After Zhan Lan unlocked the genetic lock, his nervous reaction was extremely fast, and he almost stepped sideways to avoid it at the same time.

A long leg kicked Morpheus diagonally in the chest.

The fist wind and whip kicks struck in the air, and there was a sharp sound of wind breaking through the air.

Feel the power on your toes.

Morpheus's upper body quickly leaned back, lying on the ground with one hand like a scorpion with a lower body.

One foot kicked Zhan Lan's only right foot that landed on the ground at the same time.

The battle also entered a fierce stage with every move of the two men.

Both Zhan Lan and Morpheus punched quickly and fiercely, and for a moment it was impossible to decide the outcome.

Nebuchadnezzar, the originally noisy main cabin.

With the fierce battle between Zhan Lan and Morpheus.

Several crew members who had been watching the excitement fell silent.

The thin and youngest Mouse was the first to speak out, and said with an exaggerated expression:

"Where did this yellow-skinned woman come from?"

"Neo, the savior of the past two days, didn't have this ability to adapt, right?"

Trinity asked the tank:

"How many skills has she uploaded?"

Tank said:
"Everything on our spaceship, as long as it's about fighting, has been uploaded."

"Her brain is extremely broad and her neural activity is high. She can be said to be the most special human being I have ever seen."

"Of course you can also think that I haven't seen enough."

The mouse stared at the screen and sighed:

"Oh my God, she's so fast!"

"No, it's still accelerating."

Tank pointed to a screen in the corner used to monitor body data and said:

"Her neurons and reaction speed are far beyond ordinary people."

Trinity saw that Zhan Lan, who was also a woman, was under her observation.

From being unfamiliar and awkward, it only took a dozen seconds to evolve to being proficient.

Taekwondo, Judo, Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai, each one is growing and integrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's just unbelievable."

"Is this someone's first time doing combat training?"

"You actually have a tie with Morpheus?"

The second woman on the spacecraft, Sevis, who had blonde hair, said with emotion.

"Fuck, this woman..."

As several battleship members exclaimed.

I saw Morpheus on the screen jumping up with his feet on the ground, avoiding Zhan Lan's long legs sweeping past.

Then he ran quickly towards the wooden pillar on the other side, and then crossed his body parallel to the ground.

He stepped on the wooden pillar for a full five or six steps as if he were walking on flat ground, and then jumped backwards.

Like a giant eagle that has been stretched in mid-air.

Zhan Lan stood up from a half-squat, moving forward quickly with his feet staggered, as if he had eyes on his back.

As Morpheus landed in mid-air, Zhan Lan's upper body lay flat.

With the help of the strength between his waist and abdomen, his left foot kicked forward heavily with a sound of breaking through the air.

Falling from the air, Morpheus, who had just stood still, was caught off guard and received this heavy kick.

The whole person turned into a shrimp and inevitably flew backwards.

With a heavy sound, the wooden pillar on the opposite side was directly hit in half by a huge force.

On the other hand, Zhan Lan, after retracting his left foot, was half-empty and no longer took the initiative to attack.

He just stood there, eyes closed, as if he was experiencing the feeling just now.

After smashing the wooden pillar, Morpheus, half kneeling on the ground, looked up at Zhan Lan and smiled slightly:
"It's very good. I didn't expect that you could see through the nature of men and women and the strength of muscles for the first time."

"There are even mysteries of breathing and heartbeat."

"I have some faith in your words now!"

Zhan Lan opened his eyes and seemed to have finished digesting the martial arts skills that just appeared in his mind.

He cupped his hands and bowed solemnly to Morpheus.

Morpheus stood up, looked at Zhan Lan with a thoughtful expression, then raised his head and said:
"Tank, tank loading jump program!"

Following Morpheus's orders.

Zhan Lan saw the world under his feet changing again, from far to near.

In a blur of vision, he instantly reached the rooftop of a building.

The clothes of the two people also changed their appearance instantly.

Zhan Lan looked at himself, who was dressed in black from head to toe, and looked at Morpheus in confusion.

Just listen to this person say:

"This is a friendly gift from me after fighting training."

"In the matrix world, everything you have done just now has reached a gate called rules."

"But if you want to get close to this door, or even walk into this door, you need to do it yourself."

Morpheus said, taking out a pair of sunglasses from his arms.

Looking at the endless flow of vehicles and crowds under the building, he said:
"You have to let go of your previous beliefs."

“Let go of fear, confusion, and doubt.”

"In the words of our battleships, it is liberating consciousness!"

As he spoke, Morpheus turned around and swung his arms, and he ran not very fast.

But his movements were precise, giving Zhan Lan a strong and powerful feeling.

In the last step, I saw this person stepping heavily on the edge of the building.

Then the whole person rose into the sky with a muffled sound and leaped into the mid-air.

Zhan Lan looked at Morpheus who landed in an exaggerated manner, and couldn't help but said in a low self-deprecation voice:
"What a shocking view of the world!"

"I still remember that when I saw this scene, I complained that it was too outrageous. I didn't expect that I would be able to stand here in the end."

As he said this, Zhan Lan ran directly without moving his body, and walked to the edge of the rooftop as if walking.

There is also a heavy footprint left by Morpheus just now.

Looking at the more than 60-story building below, there is also the rooftop where Morpheus is standing fifty meters away.

I thought about everything I have experienced since I clicked YES.

After thinking of someone, he couldn't help but show a sad smile.

"The Matrix, the Matrix World, the Virtual Space."

"I asked why I was the first to awaken, because this is truly a paradise for spiritual powerhouses!"
