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

Chapter 180 Single-player game turns into online game? Strong reinforcements arrive, Jiangchuan's support is immense!

11 injections can last for 220 minutes.

However, in order to fight a little longer, Jiang Chuan exploited a bug that allowed injections to reset stamina.

Because the injection provides 20 minutes of unrestricted stamina, even if injected when stamina is completely depleted, it can restore peak stamina.

Therefore, after the effects of the first injection wore off, Jiang Chuan did not immediately inject the second injection. Instead, he relied on his original physical strength to fight against the zombies until he was on the verge of injury and his movements were almost completely unresponsive before he used the second injection.

This bug-exploiting maneuver left Feng Xiaobo speechless.

"How could he do this!"

Compared to Feng Xiaobo, the reactions of the staff from other groups were completely different.

They saw Jiang Chuan's performance and applauded, saying that he was truly a talented person.

Even after relentlessly killing for three hours, Jiang Chuan was not wiped out and was eventually overwhelmed by the zombie horde, becoming their food.

This made the moviegoers feel a little disappointed.

They hoped Jiang Chuan would kill all the zombies... but ultimately their wish was not fulfilled.

Even if they don't kill them all, it doesn't matter, because it means they will still be able to see a second part of the "Jiangchuan vs. Zombies" movie.

However, Jiang Chuan was unaware that many people had watched his entire training process from beginning to end.

Jiang Chuan had already prepared for the fact that he would eventually perish in the sea of ​​zombies.

After seeing the virtual reality failure message, Jiang Chuan chose not to save his game, then exited the virtual reality and returned to the real world.

He opened his eyes again, and what he saw was a classroom bathed in moonlight.

Jiang Chuan sat in his seat, closed his eyes again, and repeatedly clenched and unclenched his hands, feeling his body return to normal, a smile appearing on his lips.

Just as he thought, this kind of training can really improve one's mental strength!
Jiang Chuan was somewhat excited.

After all, his mental training had reached a bottleneck, and now he had found a way to improve quickly. This feeling of things working out in the end was really great.

He didn't think about it anymore and went back to his dorm. Lying in bed, he looked forward to the next day.

……

For the next period of time...

Jiangchuan did not encounter any further accidents, and his training life was peaceful and fulfilling.

In the morning, I worked on clearing the level; in the afternoon, I practiced with Li Yi; in the evening, I tortured the white mice with Zhong Huahua; and later still, I slaughtered zombies in the second level (below)...

Because Jiang Chuan could also use the flow state in virtual reality, and because he received the injection, his speed in clearing levels far exceeded that of other trainees. Even though he cleared twice as many levels as the others, Jiang Chuan's ranking never fell too far behind.

Not too much, but still a little.

He ultimately couldn't maintain his first-place position any longer.

Even the geniuses trained by various local institutions are not incompetent.

Jiang Chuan's current ranking has consistently fluctuated around 230 or 240.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chuan's name became increasingly well-known at the organization's headquarters because he would go to the virtual reality X City Park every night to slaughter zombies.

Ever since that day when the tech team invited friends and family, filling the tech team office to capacity.

These staff members spontaneously recommended it to their colleagues, which led to a steady stream of people coming specifically to watch Jiang Chuan's violent and aesthetically pleasing killing spectacle.

In particular, the technical team even prepared a real-time monitoring background music software, so when Jiang Chuan got really into it, exciting heavy metal music would play in the planning team's office...

But the lack of a plot is a major drawback. After a few days, once the novelty wears off, people stop watching on time as regularly.

However, given the large number of staff at headquarters, although some left, new audience members also flocked to the event. This resulted in a dynamic balance being maintained despite the constant flow of viewers. Jiang Chuan's name also spread increasingly throughout the various offices at headquarters.

Did you go see it yesterday?

"You didn't go out last night because you worked overtime. What happened? Did you come up with something new yesterday?"

"Yeah, it's a shame you didn't see it. Jiang Chuan started using his intestines... I can't really describe it. You should go see it when you have time today. Anyway, it's incredibly awesome."

"I heard from my colleagues in the planning team that Jiangchuan also played a big role in resolving the Qingshan Tomb issue a while ago..."

"so smart?"

"Yes, it wasn't just Qingshan Tomb, but also a fourth-level officer from the field team named Guo Wenjie, you know? That's what he killed too."

"Holy crap!? A4?"

"Many people at headquarters are saying that Jiang Chuan may become the fifth A-level player in the future; his potential is too great."

Conversations like this occur almost every time there's casual conversation.

Jiang Chuan has become a hot star in headquarters and is seen as the future of everyone.

……

The news spread like wildfire at headquarters.

Although Li Yu was far away in Kunlun, he also received this news.

In the camp outside Kunlun, a team member chuckled and said:

"Boss, that kid you took care of is really promising."

Another team member nodded: "When we get back from Kunlun, we have to go see this kid. He'll definitely be a member of our group in the future."

Another team member shook his head: "Jiang Chuan is now a member of the Qing City Institutional Supervision Group. Later, an annihilation group will be established. Jiang Chuan will most likely become the backbone of Qing City. Our three groups may not be able to take him down."

Li Yu snorted: "You think I can't salvage it?"

The team member chuckled: "Of course you can get the lead. Let alone a small place like Jiangchuan, even the four top-tier players would have to give you face..."

Li Yubing's cold gaze ordered the team member to stop joking.

It is said that when Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang wanted to test their skills against Li Yu, they learned a lesson they would never forget...

After a brief pause, Li Yu continued, "I won't bring Jiang Chuan into our group."

"This kid is a bit special; I'm afraid I can't save your lives."

Upon hearing this, instead of being worried, everyone showed extra curiosity.

"Can't save our lives? What do you mean? Boss, don't just say half of what you mean."

"Exactly, the more you say it, the more curious people become."

"Jiang Chuan is so capable, how could he possibly lose his life after he grows up? Boss, are you really out of options?"

Li Yu smiled and changed the subject:
"Tomorrow we need to enter the heart of Kunlun. The situation is quite complicated. Let's plan our battle strategy first..."

……

When life gets busy, time flies.

On the evening of October 20th, twenty days had passed since the start of the third phase.

Tomorrow we should start entering the seventh level.

Since obtaining the injection in virtual reality, Jiang Chuan has encountered no further obstacles.

The zombies posed no threat to him, and the cleverly designed levels were still a bit too easy for him.

As for why the progress of clearing the level has slowed down, it's because Jiang Chuan hasn't spent all his time on clearing the level recently, but has spent some of his time on the second level (part 2).

Although we encountered large numbers of zombies later on, the second level (bottom) was still the most efficient overall.

Moreover, starting from the third level, although the difficulty didn't increase for Jiang Chuan, the overall process became significantly longer. This meant that even for Jiang Chuan, it sometimes took two or three days to complete a single level.

All of these factors combined diluted Jiang Chuan's previous advantage, allowing Lin Ci and Li Yi to catch up.

But in the end, Jiang Chuan still firmly holds the top position in Qing City. Even though it is quite difficult, he still remains at the top.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the total time taken to complete the game.

"The speed at which my mental strength is breaking through has slowed down a bit recently."

"Fortunately, controlling the three white mice is no longer a problem..."

"Keep trying, keep trying."

Jiang Chuan did not realize his status as the King of Scrolls.

This progress made him feel a little more at ease, since he still hadn't found the answer to his own mystery...

Given the current rate of change in this world, he certainly didn't want to die without ever knowing the truth about his special dream.

The more powerful you are, the closer you are to getting the answer, and the less likely you are to die – it's a win-win situation.

Nothing particularly messy has happened during this period...

This, however, made Jiang Chuan somewhat worried.

After experiencing so much, Jiang Chuan has gotten used to his unlucky nature.

But... what does this current calm really mean?
This is a question worth pondering.

Jiang Chuan was a little worried, worried that something big would happen right away.

If we encounter a few more incidents like Princess Anle's...

dare not think, dare not think.

Jiang Chuan rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and quickly entered the dream world.

……

On October 21, Jiang Chuan arrived at the classroom as usual and put on his helmet.

Level 7: Winter Has Arrived

[Mission Objective: This is the first winter the containment facility will face, and you already knew it would be difficult, having made extensive preparations. However, recent patrols have revealed traces of other human activity in City X… You are assigned to the City X Biochemical Research Institute to retrieve the remaining medical supplies and equipment from there and return them to the containment facility… Good luck.]

After the words "mission objective" ended, Jiang Chuan could see the scene before him clearly.

After seeing the scene before him, Jiang Chuan frowned, feeling that it was very different from the "winter is coming" he remembered.

The shelter was filled with fallen leaves, withered grass, and the few plants that remained had dried up...

Whether it's the temperature in the environment or the wind blowing through the shelter...

This all proves that it is not winter at all, but clearly autumn when Jiang Chuan just passed the sixth level!

"what's the situation?"

Jiang Chuan was somewhat surprised: "There's a bug?"

"The level description does not match the actual level?"

Just as Jiang Chuan was feeling a bit confused, a new text description appeared before his eyes.

[Mission Supplementary Notes: Currently, there are not enough players for Level 7. The current level is [Level 6: Death Hospital]. There are currently 1/5 players available for Level 7. Please assist your team members in completing the "Death Hospital" level. Once the required number of players is reached, proceed to [Level 7: Winter Has Arrived]. After all five players complete the level, the team members' completion times will be averaged for the final settlement. This average will be the shared settlement time for all five players.]

Jiang Chuan was stunned.

"Group dungeons?"

"Assisting team members?"

Just as Jiang Chuan was pondering these things, a slightly puzzled voice came from beside him: "Jiang Chuan?" Jiang Chuan turned around and saw Tian Tian standing behind him with a surprised expression. She was also fully armed, with a steel helmet covering her head, and a strand of her dyed hair peeking out from under the helmet. Jiang Chuan hadn't expected that the helmet could even scan hair color...

When Tian Tian saw that it really was Jiang Chuan, she was quite surprised.

I never expected to see Jiang Chuan appear in my virtual reality.

After a moment of stunned silence, she asked:
"You...why are you here?"

After seeing Tian Tian, ​​Jiang Chuan naturally understood the meaning of the "task supplementary instance" he had just seen.

It seems I need to help others complete level six before we can unlock level seven together.

Jiang Chuan briefly explained the situation to Tian Tian. After listening, Tian Tian nodded and said excitedly, "So, you'll help us find those treatment records at the hospital?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Yes."

The sixth mission, "Death Hospital," requires finding six medical notebooks within the hospital building. Originally a solo mission, it didn't even involve the members of the combat squads.

Of course, this level is called the Death Hospital, and the zombies in this hospital are indeed quite unique...

Jiang Chuan was startled when the nurse zombie jumped in his face for the first time.

Just then, the voice of the former captain came from behind Jiang Chuan: "Captain Jiang, Lin Ci, Li Yi, and Chen Ming have already set off to carry out their mission..."

When are you leaving?

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian's pupils contracted slightly: "Captain Jiang!?"

What does Captain Jiang mean?

Jiang Chuan said, "It's a long story."

The former captain looked somewhat surprised: "Tian Tian, ​​you and Captain Jiang knew each other before?"

Tian Tian just looked at Jiang Chuan and ignored the NPC uncle's question.

Jiang Chuan then said, "Let's set off now and go support them as soon as possible."

[Level 6: The Hospital of Death]

Jiang Chuan had only just passed the sixth level, so of course he still remembered it vividly.

You need to find six medical notebooks belonging to doctors in a hospital in City X. This will fully reconstruct the world view at the time of the zombie crisis. From the first patient in the hospital who started attacking others to the collapse of order, the entire process experienced by the hospital doctors will be completed from the perspective of this hospital.

The difficulty of level six lies in the poor lighting and high density of zombies in the hospital, plus the need to find six notebooks...

Even though the zombies no longer posed any threat to Jiang Chuan, finding the notes still took him a very long time.

However, since we've found it once, finding it again is much easier.

Because the process of searching for the notes was so arduous, Jiang Chuan had a particularly vivid memory of the locations of those notes.

Tian Tian excitedly patted Jiang Chuan on the back: "Hunk! I feel much more at ease with you here!"

"This is the third time I've reopened!"

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

At this point, he also understood why the sixth challenge was to find those six notebooks.

Clearly, this arrangement is intended to make the completion time for the sixth level more even.

This task of finding the target item is the most difficult for the first person to complete the game.

Because once one person clears the level, the location of the six notebooks will be revealed, causing the time to clear subsequent "death levels" to become shorter and shorter. In addition, the time it takes to clear the level will be averaged across all five people, so the student who provided the location of the notebooks will not be at a disadvantage, and the effect of all five people entering the seventh level at the same time can still be achieved...

This design can be described as quite ingenious.

Jiang Chuan quickly looked at Tian Tian and said, "Let's go."

……

In the planning team's office.

Feng Xiaobo was watching this scene.

Although he knew this scene would happen sooner or later according to the plan, he still felt somewhat suffocated when it actually happened.

Jiang Chuan was originally supposed to be a member of the combat team, but now that he's the captain, he's practically an NPC...

Moreover, his skill level is beyond that of ordinary people, which makes him more like an NPC.

"Hey."

Feng Xiaobo sighed.

He had seen Jiang Chuan clear the sixth level.

Currently, Jiang Chuan has re-entered level six due to the setting of level seven...

One can already imagine how Jiang Chuan will handle things when he returns to the sixth level.

Many members of the planning team who were working nearby were discussing the matter when they saw Jiang Chuan return to the sixth level.

"I wonder what kind of expression Jiang Chuan's classmate will have when he sees how he cleared the level?"

"Probably the same as us?"

“We’ve watched Jiang Chuan come all the way here; the other students have no idea how he broke through the barrier…”

"That's quite interesting... I can't wait!"

……

Lin Ci was searching for his notes in the hospital, but he hadn't found a single one yet, having wasted a lot of time dodging and killing zombies.

Lin Ci, like everyone else, had the physical attributes of an ordinary person. Although he possessed the skills he remembered, killing zombies was still physically demanding, and he would run out of energy after killing a dozen or so. Fortunately, this was a virtual reality environment, where the recovery speed of physical strength was much faster than in the normal world. However, there was a prerequisite for this recovery: he had to disengage from combat.

He had barely managed to dodge a wave of zombies and was just recovering.

Just as I was bracing myself to go inside, I saw a group of zombies blocking my way.

That was his target location: the entrance to the neurology department.

"Damn it...so annoying..."

Even someone as composed as Lin Ci couldn't help but curse inwardly at this moment.

……

Li Yi was on the first floor of the hospital, fully equipped with a helmet, knee pads, and metal wrist guards.

However, the weapon she held was different from the others.

This is a Tang-style sword weapon, which she scavenged during her first mission. Originally a decorative item hanging on a resident's wall, it was unsharpened. Later, after being added to the containment facility, it was sharpened and became extremely sharp. Although it's not the sword she's more skilled with, in this virtual post-apocalyptic world, having something useful is already quite satisfying.

She walked quietly down the dark hospital corridor, the faint beam of her flashlight illuminating part of the passageway.

She was surrounded by all sorts of zombies... some in hospital gowns, some in nurse uniforms, some in doctor's coats...

Li Yi moved through the zombie horde as quietly as possible, trying not to disturb them.

But at this moment...

Boom!

A loud bang suddenly rang out from the direction of the hospital's main entrance!
The entire hospital seemed to be shaken; the chandeliers overhead creaked and swayed, and dust fell in clumps...

The zombies right next to Li Yi suddenly turned their heads and then ran wildly toward the direction from which the sound came!

Countless zombies were awakened by this explosion.
The zombies rushed past Li Yi, who was utterly astonished. She stared blankly at the direction the zombies had gone, unable to comprehend what had caused the explosion.

"Is it a plot twist?"

"Why? To make leaving the hospital more difficult?"

Li Yi frowned in the darkness, but she did not hesitate and immediately took another step.

While this will undoubtedly make her mission and evacuation more difficult, the fact that the zombies are all drawn away presents a good opportunity to collect notes.

Li Yi quickly arrived at the pediatrics office.

According to the map we obtained, the notebook is most likely to be located in the pediatric office on the first floor of the hospital's outpatient department.

She rushed into the wide-open pediatric office and, in the dim light of a flashlight, quickly began searching for her target.

The office was extremely messy, with various medicines, equipment, and papers scattered all over the floor, and obvious bloodstains on them.

This naturally made the search mission extremely difficult, but Li Yi was determined to find it. She calmed herself down and first checked whether there were any other zombies in the office that were unable to move around easily before she began to seriously search for the notebook that might exist.

This is the difficulty of the sixth mission. The only information we know is that there are six notebooks in the hospital, but we don't know their exact location or even their general direction. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

There's also the possibility that after finding five notebooks, the last one might be impossible to find. If that worst-case scenario happens, then we'll have to go back and search all the offices that have already been searched.

In order not to waste time and to confirm whether or not the item was in the office, Li Yi had to search carefully, checking every corner without missing an inch.

However, before she could search for long, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

Li Yi frowned, turned off the flashlight, and carefully gripped the Tang sword.

"Someone's there? Or a special kind of zombie?"

As the footsteps grew closer, Li Yi was ready to launch her attack.

However, when she saw the light shining in from the doorway, she slowly lowered the Tang sword that she had already raised.

The presence of light undoubtedly signifies the arrival of living beings...

Do zombies carry flashlights? Li Yi thinks no.

But she remained silent, staying vigilant, since nothing was unexpected here.

It wasn't until the person's footsteps quickly appeared at the door, and she saw that familiar face in the beam of their flashlight, that Li Yi lowered her voice in surprise and said:

"Tian Tian?"

Tian Tian was also somewhat surprised, but after nodding, she didn't reply. Instead, she quickly walked to Li Yi's side, took a notebook from the table next to her, and then said, "Come with me!"

"Let's go to the next office!"

Li Yi felt something was off: "How did you get in here?"

Was that explosion you just witnessed?

How did you know the diary was here?

Tian Tian said, "Jiang Chuan said it!"

Li Yi was startled and exclaimed in astonishment, "Jiang Chuan!?"

"He's here too?"

"He was responsible for the explosion?"

"What...what is he doing?"

Tian Tian nodded, about to explain further, but then stopped herself and said in a low voice very quickly:

"There's no time to explain, let's hurry up and go! Jiang Chuan said we only have twenty minutes!"
