The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 120 Calamity! Lightning rips through the sky!

August 9, 13:7.

Qingdao History Museum.

When Jiang Chuan and his team parked their van in the museum's backyard, several seemingly ordinary staff members quickly walked over carrying boxes.

Chen Xingyang opened the car door and took the boxes from their hands and put them into the car.

The head staff member spoke to Chen Xingyang:
"Captain Chen, that's all..."

"Seven boxes, one for each of you."

His voice sounded a little nervous, so it seemed he was also a staff member of the organization.

Chen Xingyang nodded and said, "Don't send the message upstairs after we leave."

He glanced at his watch: "It will be at least forty minutes later."

"We should have already passed through the tunnel by then."

The staff member nodded: "Understood."

He and Chen Xingyang checked the time, nodded to each other, and then the van drove away from the history museum, merging into the traffic and heading towards the airport.

……

The atmosphere gradually became heavy.

No one spoke inside the car.

The real challenge begins between receiving the items and heading to the airport.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and activated his sensory domain.

Although this may not be of any use, it's better than nothing.

While opening his sensory domain, Jiang Chuan was also reflecting on the current situation.

“The other party may not know our car, but Cao Zhigang and Teacher Cao Zhiqiang’s figures are too obvious.”

"Now that we know the action plan, and even know that Captain Chen and the two teachers Cao are among the personnel, there should be no situation where we cannot lock onto the target."

"Seven boxes... When I first received them, they all seemed to weigh exactly the same."

"It seems that only one of them is genuine."

"It seems that headquarters also has a very strong desire to reclaim this mysterious item."

What could be inside?

Jiang Chuan didn't think about it any further, since you can't get the answer to this kind of thing just by thinking about it.

He focused intently on sensing any potential dangers as the car sped along the highway. As it gradually left the city, the surrounding traffic became increasingly sparse. After more than half an hour, he could no longer see any other vehicles traveling in the same direction.

At this moment, Chen Xingyang's deep voice came over.

"We're about to enter the tunnel."

"be prepared."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their already tense emotions were now completely tightened.

As the tunnel entrance drew closer, Lu Ming held his breath and swallowed.

Cheng Shu's expression also became extremely solemn as he stared intently at the tunnel entrance, his eyes unblinking.

brush--!
The van sped into the tunnel without slowing down, the light dimmed instantly, and then the orange-yellow tunnel lights filled the view.

Zhong Huahua also began to sense things, but unlike Jiang Chuan, she expanded her mental energy into a plane, rapidly scanning everything on the road ahead as the car sped along. This method was clearly more ingenious. However, Jiang Chuan didn't have the time or inclination to imitate her; stability was his top priority.

Based on our previous assessment, now is the time of greatest risk.

Such a secluded location would leave no escape once war broke out, making it undoubtedly the best place for the interceptors to carry out their mission.

The atmosphere inside the car grew increasingly tense.

Neither of the two teachers, surnamed Cao, spoke, and Chen Xingyang remained silent as well. His expression, visible in the rearview mirror, was just as tense as theirs.

However... the expected attack did not occur.

The tunnel exit is now in sight.

The light shining from the exit seemed to herald the arrival of some kind of hope.

Lu Ming's eyes widened as he gripped the back of Jiang Chuan's seat in front of him, somewhat excited.

Of course, one might hope that they won't be attacked.

If these boxes can be delivered to the airport safely and securely, that would be the best outcome for everyone.

But... can I leave so easily?
Jiang Chuan had already frowned deeply.

Given how unlucky I am, is this task really that simple?

He couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that Brother Jing's divination didn't fail? Will it really end peacefully?"

The car sped through the tunnel at high speed, bathed in orange-yellow light.

Suddenly, everything became clear to everyone.

Although no one spoke, everyone could feel the atmosphere suddenly lighten up a bit.

Chen Xingyang noticed this sudden relaxation and reminded him, "Don't let your guard down."

Cao Zhiqiang then asked, "Did you sense anything unusual?"

Jiang Chuan and Zhong Huahua shook their heads simultaneously: "No."

Jiang Chuan said, "I've been sensing everything, and there's nothing wrong inside the tunnel."

Zhong Huahua also confirmed Jiang Chuan's statement: "Yes, everything is fine in the tunnel."

Silence fell over the van once again.

Even Chen Xingyang was clearly thinking, could it be that the manpower that could be mobilized was not strong enough, and the other side's interception mission was forced to be canceled?
But just then, Lu Ming's questioning voice suddenly came over: "Zhong Huahua, why is your hair floating around?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan suddenly looked at Zhong Huahua.

Seeing Zhong Huahua's somewhat bewildered gaze, and noticing that strands of her long hair were defying gravity and sticking upwards.

It's not just bellflowers...

The others simply had no hair or very short hair, but Jiang Chuan noticed that Lu Ming, whose hair was slightly longer, also had his hair sticking up...

He suddenly realized something.

In that instant, his pupils contracted sharply, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he immediately shouted:
"parking!!!"

Chen Xingyang realized it almost simultaneously:

"It's static electricity!"

"Oh shit!"

"Old Cao! Stop the car!"

Cao Zhigang slammed on the brakes, and a screeching sound rang out. Driving at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour, he suddenly slammed on the brakes. Although Jiang Chuan and the others had good physical strength, they could not defy the laws of physics. Due to inertia, their bodies involuntarily lurched forward!
Just as the car was rapidly decelerating, and just as Jiang Chuan's body was uncontrollably leaning forward, his gaze caught sight of the clouds outside the window...

He saw lightning flashing between the clouds.

"Oops……"

His mental barrier opened up the moment he saw the lightning, and Zhong Huahua seemed to sense the danger as well, reacting in the same way as Jiang Chuan.

But no matter how fast they reacted, it was too late. Before their mental energy could be fully unleashed, the lightning bolt had already snaked down from the clouds! Like a thunder dragon, it stretched from the sky to the earth, its power unmatched, as if it had pierced through the atmosphere!

In a mere instant, the power of heaven and earth slammed into the van that was about to come to a stop!

boom!
The van came to a stop while gliding, steaming as if it had been scorched by the lightning bolt, its paint surface covered with winding lightning strike marks.

When the car stopped, the highway became quiet.

After a while.

Bang! A loud crash was heard as the car door was kicked open from the inside.

Smoke billowed from the carriage, and Cao Zhigang stepped off the train through the smoke, his steps unsteady.

"Cough cough cough!!"

He coughed as he walked to the back door, grabbed the handle, and yanked it hard.

He actually ripped the car door off, patted Chen Xingyang, and then patted Jiang Chuan.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

Jiang Chuan woke up groggily, feeling a tingling sensation all over his body.

Cao Zhigang's voice came from beside me: "Jiang Chuan, are you alright?"

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously, but his mental energy had already reached out towards Zhong Huahua and the others.

Then I breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Regardless, even though Zhong Huahua's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, her mental barrier did offer some protection...

Thankfully, the lightning didn't kill anyone.

Generally speaking, people inside a vehicle are not afraid of being struck by lightning. However, the fact that their hair was floating indicates that they had a lot of static electricity on them. Under such an electric shock, they still suffered some damage. The other party's purpose in doing this was quite clear: they didn't expect to be struck dead, but they could force the car to stop.

Only then did Jiang Chuan say, "It's nothing."

Chen Xingyang slowly woke up, grabbed the knife beside him, and jumped out of the car.

The empty highway made his eyes look very ugly: "It seems they were just waiting for us to let our guard down."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, his gaze also appearing very serious: "This lightning bolt was only possible after we exited the tunnel."

"It seems they've been preparing for us for some time."

Cao Zhigang patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Check on their condition."

"Prepare for battle."

Just then, a loud laugh rang out:

"Damn that stinking Taoist priest! I told you we should stop him in the tunnel!"

"Well, that's fine! Boss Cao! Second Boss Cao! This time you can't escape!!"

Following the sound, in the distance, a burly man of similar build to Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang was carrying a giant hammer and walking towards them step by step along the road. Although they could not hear his footsteps, they could feel that each step he took was quite solid and heavy. Just looking at him made them feel extremely powerful.

He was shirtless and wearing very loose pants, looking just like a bodybuilding coach.

Jiang Chuan, having confirmed the situation, got out of the car.

Zhong Huahua and the other two were all knocked unconscious. Although they were not in mortal danger, they would not wake up for a while.

Jiang Chuan frowned when he saw the burly man walking towards him.

It seems his job is to keep Teacher Cao and his group in check.

But is he the only one?

Where is the Taoist priest he was talking about?
Cao Zhiqiang's voice came through: "Behind."

Jiang Chuan turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a suit carrying a wooden sword and holding a yellow talisman in his hand, slowly walking towards them.

My mental energy didn't detect his presence just now?
The Taoist priest's voice was also loud and full of energy: "I told you to launch a sneak attack, why didn't you listen, you idiot?"

Then he spoke again, "Brother Cao, Second Brother Cao, how have you been?"

It seems these two people are responsible for keeping Teacher Cao in check between the two units.

And they all seem to know each other?

Clearly, their strength should not be underestimated.

And what about their opponents?
Who are Chen's opponents?

They said they were going to launch a surprise attack?

At this moment, Jiang Chuan's heart was beating very fast. He could clearly hear his own breathing and even hear his heart pounding in his ears.

He expanded his sensory domain, exerting all his strength to perceive his opponent.

He didn't understand why his perception domain couldn't detect the opponent's presence.

"Looks like there's no need to hide it anymore."

"Yes, and Chen Xingyang, the head of the Qing City Institutional Supervision Group, is the same as mentioned in the report."

"..."

"How come there's something unexpected going on? Who is he?"

The sound came from not far from their car.

Jiang Chuan looked over and saw two people standing just outside his perception range... less than half a meter away.

The two men were young and sat side by side, leaning against the highway guardrail.

Although they look different, their temperaments are extremely similar; one is wearing a white shirt, and the other is wearing a black T-shirt.

The man in the white shirt said, "It doesn't matter who it is."

"It's exactly four against four, which is very fair."

The man in the black T-shirt nodded: "That makes sense."

They both stood up from the railing in unison, grabbed the spears leaning against it, straightened their backs, and looked incredibly imposing.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan noticed that although Captain Chen was standing tall beside him, his body was still involuntarily convulsing.

The situation is absolutely terrible.

However, Jiang Chuan underestimated the seriousness of the situation.

At this moment, Cao Zhigang lowered his voice, which was unusual for him, and said with utmost seriousness:

"They revealed their identities."

"Qiang, something's wrong."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, glanced at the boxes on the truck, frowned, and sighed, "It seems this thing is really...crucial..."

Chen Xingyang drew his sword, looked at Jiang Chuan, his facial muscles still twitching, but he still spoke sternly:

"Jiang Chuan, run if things look bad."

"Run as far as possible."
