[Instinctively, you turn toward the voice and see a plain-looking young man with black hair, his face marked by several ferocious scars. Standing in front of him is another young man who has the appearance of a white-collar worker.
Looking at this strangely familiar scene, combined with that classic line of dialogue, an ominous premonition suddenly rises in your heart.
You scan your surroundings and realize that four other people are lying nearby—two men and two women.
Besides those still unconscious, there are also some fully armed foreigners in this enclosed train car, but they don't seem to notice your presence.
Just as the white-collar-looking young man asks the scarred man where they are, the latter responds in a cryptic tone, "Think carefully, it should have already implanted everything into your mind."
The moment the scarred man finishes speaking, you suddenly feel new, unfamiliar memories flooding into your mind—information about Lord God's Lobby.
After sorting through these memories, you immediately understand—you have transmigrated into the world of Terror Infinity. Clearly, the scarred man is Zhang Jie, while the white-collar young man is Zheng Zha.
Soon, the four newcomers, including Zhan Lan, also wake up. You follow the crowd and introduce yourself along with the others.
From your secret observations, you deduce that you have taken the place of the chubby guy who was eliminated at the start in the original novel.
However, one thing confuses you—before transmigrating, you never encountered a multiple-choice question like, "Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?" So why did you suddenly end up in Terror Infinity?
Before you can make sense of your confusion, the protective light shield disappears, and the Resident Evil scenario officially begins.
You don't have time to overthink and can only follow Zheng Zha and the others as they escape. The middle-aged woman, who has the weakest stamina, is the first to be eliminated, making the newcomers realize the cruel reality of Lord God's Lobby.
Soon, the group reaches the most dangerous area—the laser corridor. As expected, Zheng Zha, acting as recklessly as in the original novel, ignores Zhan Lan's warning and stops the mercenaries who are about to enter.
Having anticipated this, you keep your distance from Zheng Zha's inevitable disaster and instead stay near the female protagonist, Alice, blending into the background.
As expected, Zheng Zha's actions arouse the mercenary captain's suspicion, and Mu Gang, who was standing near him, gets implicated and is forced to enter the laser corridor as well.
Knowing how dangerous the laser corridor is, Mu Gang panics and tries to run away, only to be gunned down by the mercenaries. Zheng Zha, on the other hand, is left with no choice but to follow them into the corridor.
As soon as Zheng Zha and the mercenaries step inside, the doors on both ends shut tight. In the end, only Zheng Zha and the mercenary captain manage to survive by sheer luck.
Seeing this unfold, you secretly feel relieved for not acting impulsively. Sure, saving the mercenary captain would have earned you a B-rank horror side quest and 5,000 reward points, but you don't believe you could activate the Genetic Lock at a critical moment like Zheng Zha.
By focusing on survival, you, Zhan Lan, and Li Xiaoyi manage to get through the first newbie world without any major incidents.
Since you didn't change any events, you only receive the basic 1,000 reward points.
Knowing that this amount isn't enough to significantly enhance your strength, you decide to spend your points on upgrading an artificial human.
Recalling various Terror Infinity strategies you read before transmigrating, you first check the exchange prices for Sunflower Manual and Evil-Cleansing Sword Manual.
To your surprise, the Sunflower Manual training scroll only costs 1,500 reward points. Excited by this discovery, you immediately share the information with Zheng Zha and the others.
Upon hearing that you actually want to cultivate the Sunflower Manual, the group looks at you strangely, thinking you're an absolute madman—even more ruthless than the "ruthless ones"!
Realizing their misunderstanding, you quickly clarify that you don't intend to cultivate the Sunflower Manual yourself but rather have an artificial human train in it.
Although free artificial humans come with many restrictions, as long as their physical fitness doesn't exceed twice that of an ordinary human and their body size remains within normal human proportions, they are viable.
Thus, you propose creating an artificial human eunuch with twice the strength of an average person and training them in the Sunflower Manual to serve as a bodyguard in the horror worlds.
Hearing your plan, Zhan Lan and Li Xiaoyi applaud you, calling you a genius.
Meanwhile, Zheng Zha looks a bit awkward—because while you were checking the exchange list, he had already used his free artificial human quota to recreate the girl "Lori" from his memories.
Since Zheng Zha refuses to create another artificial human, you persuade Zhan Lan and Li Xiaoyi to contribute 500 reward points each and buy the Sunflower Manual together.
They agree, and soon, they ask Lord God to create their eunuch artificial humans.
Zhan Lan's artificial human turns out to be a handsome, feminine-looking eunuch identical to Rain Hua Tian from the movie Flying Swords of Dragon Gate.
Li Xiaoyi, on the other hand, creates a stunning red-robed eunuch modeled after Dongfang Bubai from Swordsman.
But what truly stuns everyone is the artificial human you create.
Your artificial human is a breathtaking beauty in an elegant white dress, bearing a 90% resemblance to the fairy-like version of Xiaolongnu from The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, you laugh and explain that this artificial human is indeed a eunuch.
However, he has undergone a perfect gender transition—aside from lacking reproductive capabilities, his body structure is practically identical to that of a normal woman.
In essence, your artificial human is a woman who cannot bear children, but whose genetic profile still identifies as male.
After your explanation, Li Xiaoyi looks devastated—he thought he was already quite clever by creating Dongfang Bubai, but he never imagined things could go this far.
Even the well-traveled Zhang Jie is utterly impressed and exclaims, "You motherf***ing genius!"
After handing the Sunflower Manual to the artificial humans for training, you also suggest that Zhan Lan and the others exchange modern technological weapons and one-time defensive scrolls for protection.
After all, unlike Zheng Zha, each of you only has 500 reward points left after the group purchase. Investing in self-enhancements wouldn't significantly boost your strength, so acquiring powerful external tools is the better option.]
