Uchiha Jin's expression was as usual.

As long as Zhang Jie, a team member, didn't cause trouble, this mercenary squad in front of him posed no threat whatsoever to him.

Guns were of little use to a ninja!

And, regarding this.

James Xue's eyes were complex, and he had many questions he wanted to ask, but in the end, he chose to remain silent.

Because he knew very well that with the strength Uchiha Jin had displayed, his own squad wasn't worth deceiving, let alone the fact that he was currently helping them.

"Alright, let's continue the mission!"

James Xue picked up the electromagnetic pulse generator and was the first to head towards the other side of the laser corridor. Uchiha Jin naturally followed closely behind him.

Alice saw this and followed suit.

Afterwards.

Apart from the mercenary guards left behind, everyone else, including the group of team members, arrived at Red Queen's equipment room.

"Alright guys, let's get to work!"

At James Xue's command, the mercenaries began to carry out their respective duties.

Alice walked up to Uchiha Jin: "Little friend, were you using superpowers just now?"

"No, it's a type of Fire Style!" Uchiha Jin shrugged. "I told you, I'm a ninja!"

Alice clearly didn't understand this.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The team members' gazes towards Uchiha Jin began to turn extremely complex.

Finally.

Zheng Zha walked over: "Thank you for what you did just now!"

Although he harbored a faint resentment, thinking that if Uchiha Jin had acted a few seconds earlier, perhaps Uncle Mou Gang wouldn't have died.

However.

He was not the captain of the Zhongzhou team now, just a rookie who had recently become a team member, so he couldn't really say such a thing.

"You're welcome."

Uchiha Jin shrugged.

Zhan Lan also walked over: "Little friend, are you really from the Uchiha clan?"

"Yes." Uchiha Jin nodded.

Zhan Lan was somewhat incredulous: "How did you get to this world?"

"I don't know." Uchiha Jin shook his head. "I'm thinking about it too."

"Half an hour ago, I was practicing Ninjutsu in the Forest of Death, and then I suddenly realized that although it was a forest, I was absolutely certain it wasn't Konohagakure's Forest of Death."

"I saw a house here, so I prepared to come and ask for directions, and then I encountered this situation."

"Considering I had nothing else to do, I decided to come along."

Uchiha Jin casually spun a lie, of course, he wouldn't reveal his system.

And, regarding this.

The many team members were stunned, and for a moment, they couldn't figure out the specific situation. After all, Uchiha Jin didn't have a team member's wristband, so these rookie team members naturally couldn't figure it out.

Of course.

Let alone these rookies, even Zhang Jie, the veteran, was completely bewildered.

As a semi-guide, Zhang Jie had actually communicated with the Main God in private long ago.

Although communication wasn't as convenient as in the Main God space due to the separation between worlds, the Main God's power could still extend here.

But, unfortunately.

To Zhang Jie's inquiry, the Main God's response was simple.

[Data Anomaly!]

Anything else? No!

This news made Zhang Jie's expression grim, and he became very conflicted.

Someone whose origins even the Main God couldn't trace made him hesitate to kill the opponent directly. For him, a powerhouse at the third stage of the Gene Lock, killing Uchiha Jin wouldn't be difficult, but he feared encountering certain unpredictable risks.

So, forget it!

It's best to finish this script as soon as possible. Uchiha Jin isn't a team member, so he can't possibly infiltrate the Main God space directly, right?

Having made up his mind, Zhang Jie's eyes became firm.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The mercenary team had just set up the electromagnetic pulse when Red Queen's virtual projection appeared.

"Stop!"

"You can't shut me down!"

Red Queen spoke continuously, trying to stop them.

But, unfortunately.

The mercenaries completely ignored Red Queen and continued their mission.

Because of this.

Although Red Queen sensed Uchiha Jin's abnormality, she had no opportunity to probe him.

Three minutes later, the Hive lost power.

Immediately after.

A group of people, carrying Red Queen's mainboard, headed outside, while the expressions of many reincarnators turned pale, as they knew the most dangerous time had arrived.

"Captain, we have a situation!"

"We've found many survivors, but their condition is wrong."

The voice of the B warehouse guard came through the mercenary team's walkie-talkie.

James Shade said, "Accelerate the operation!"

The group increased their speed and arrived at the B warehouse, only to find it surrounded by zombies.

"Stop!"

"Don't move forward, or I'll shoot!"

"Damn it!"

Many mercenaries shouted, trying to deter them.

But, unfortunately.

The people in front of them had already turned into zombies; how could they possibly understand their words?

Uchiha Jin spoke, "These people have no heartbeat and their blood isn't flowing. They're not alive at all."

"What?" James Shade was shocked.

Uchiha Jin didn't say anything further.

He drew a Kunai from his ninja tool pouch, casually threw it, and stuck it into the chest of the foremost zombie.

"See?"

"If a normal person's heart were pierced, would they still be able to survive?"

Uchiha Jin's tone was calm.

Seeing this, James Shade immediately ordered, "Everyone, open fire!"

And, regarding this.

The other mercenaries naturally had no objections, as they had all witnessed Uchiha Jin's actions just now.

Da! Da! Da!

Everyone opened fire simultaneously, and the reincarnators also moved.

Zhang Jie, wielding a Golden Desert Eagle, took down a zombie with almost every shot, while the other reincarnators were much more miserable, only armed with hastily collected tools like fire axes and iron rods.

Since Zheng Zha had not saved James Shade, he naturally lost James Shade's protection and was not gifted a handgun as in the original story.

Uchiha Jin also made his move!

Although he wouldn't gain any reward points, and these zombies were weak, it would help him practice the Nintaijutsu he had just learned!

At this moment, Uchiha Jin, holding the Katana gifted to him by Shisui, moved at extreme speed, and wave after wave of zombies fell by his hand.

Slaughter!

From this moment on, slaughter became the main theme.

And because Uchiha Jin had destroyed the laser channel, the reincarnators did not hide in the machine room as they did in the original story but followed the main force toward the entrance.

However, it was worth mentioning that Zheng Zha truly lived up to his protagonist status.

Even though he lost the opportunity to save James Shade, he coincidentally killed a Licker.

Ten minutes later.

The reincarnator team slowly separated from the main group, and under Uchiha Jin's Observation Haki, they saw Zhang Jie, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan turn into beams of light and disappear completely.

Finally gone!

Uchiha Jin breathed a sigh of relief, his expression becoming much more relaxed.

No way.

With his current meager strength, he really didn't want to confront Zhang Jie, who had a third-tier Gene Lock!
