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

Chapter 184 A Three-Way Game! Who is the Real Sixth?

Chapter 184 A Three-Way Game! Who is the Real Sixth Brother?

In the midst of a blizzard in City X, a black armored vehicle is traversing streets filled with frozen zombies.

Chen Ming was checking the rifle in his arms when he asked, "How much longer?"

Jiang Chuan responded, "Less than three minutes."

"We can already see the shopping mall."

"It's at the end of this road."

Lin Ci and Li Yi both looked up and gazed out the car window.

The mall's signboard was dilapidated and covered by snow, but the main building still revealed its former glory.

The deep voice of the former captain came through the communicator: "Captain Jiang, what are we all doing?"

Accompanying them on this rescue mission were soldiers from the internment camp combat team. Jiang Chuan, while working alongside these soldiers, discovered their formidable combat capabilities, especially considering that everyone's physical abilities were not significantly different from ordinary people. This force was indispensable.

If the Beijing and Fengtian organizations launch an attack on them simultaneously, this combat team of a dozen or so people can at least buy Jiang Chuan and his group time, and at least their retreat will not be a problem.

Jiang Chuan responded in the communication: "Support the operation, cover the rear and provide cover."

"We will take on the main responsibility."

"It's freezing cold now, and the zombies' mobility is greatly reduced, so there shouldn't be any danger."

The former captain's voice came through again: "Roger that."

Four armored vehicles stopped downstairs at the department store, and a rescue team of 20 people filed out of the vehicles.

Before entering the building, Jiang Chuan lowered his voice and gave his final instructions before commencing the operation:
"The target location is the staff lounge at the far left end of the fourth floor."

"The zombies are slow-moving, and the fact that the supply collection team was able to get here earlier indicates that the level of danger is not high."

"In case of an emergency, prioritize using melee weapons and try to avoid making any noise..."

"set off!"

The beams of 20 flashlights illuminated the previously pitch-black interior of the department store.

Light streaked across the zombies. The glass curtain wall of the lobby had long been smashed by the zombies, and the temperature on the first floor was no different from outside. The zombies, exposed to the light, showed no reaction.

They marched in unison towards the higher floors, with Jiang Chuan at the forefront, clearing obstacles along the way.

However, the expected interception and blockade did not occur.

Lin Ci said, "Jiang Chuan, something feels off."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "It's a bit inexplicable... but let's get them out first."

They made their way to the fourth floor without incident, not seeing a single person from Yanjing or Fengtian, nor even the zombies posing any threat to them.

……

Tian Tian had no way of knowing what was happening outside, and she couldn't open the iron cabinet no matter what she tried.

The outside world was completely silent... not even the sound of zombies could be heard.

And such silence... is actually quite terrifying.

Being in a dark and cramped space is the perfect breeding ground for fear.

Even though Tian Tian is naturally drawn to darkness, this instinctive fear cannot be completely eradicated.

"Why haven't you come yet..."

"How long has it been..."

She muttered to herself, the cold and claustrophobic feeling making her ears ring.

If it weren't for the fact that it's a virtual reality environment, this pressure would be even more terrifying.

But at that very moment...

In the darkness, Tian Tian seemed to hear a voice that seemed to be calling for help.

Da da da da da—!
Footsteps could be heard in the darkness.

"coming!"

"finally come!"

A surge of joy welled up in Tian Tian's heart!
Although she couldn't open the iron box, she could make a sound.

Driven by hope and anticipation, Tian Tian mustered all her strength and threw a heavy punch.

Boom!
In the darkness and silence, the sound spread rapidly.

Tian Tian could hear the "tap tap tap" of footsteps as the footsteps quickly changed direction and rushed towards her after she punched the metal cabinet.

The footsteps were fast, the clattering sound quickly approaching Tian Tian's location and locating the cabinet where she was.

Bang! Squeak—

The metal cabinet was pulled open from the outside.

A burst of light suddenly appeared from the cabinet, blinding Tian Tian who had been in darkness for so long... She instinctively covered her eyes.

However, she quickly got used to the light. Just as she was about to speak with great joy, the words she was about to utter froze. After staring at the other person for a moment, Tian Tian changed the words she was about to say to three words.

She frowned warily and asked:
"Who are you?"

……

at the same time.

Jiang Chuan's eyes widened in astonishment the moment he opened the cabinet:

"Who are you?"

Inside the cabinet was a fat man who almost completely filled it.

It's simply unimaginable how he got into that cabinet.

A classic question suddenly popped into Jiang Chuan's mind.

How many steps are involved in putting an elephant into a refrigerator?
The fat man, his face deathly pale, gasped for breath, "Get...get me out of here first..."

"Please...please."

Jiang Chuan reached out and tried to pull, but couldn't budge it.

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment when he couldn't budge it.

But he immediately braced his hands and feet on the edge of another metal cabinet, gritting his teeth and straining.

*Pfft!* Like pulling a cork out of a bottle, the fat man was pulled out of the cabinet.

The fat man knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, and then, while rubbing his stomach, he said, "You..."

"You're being too rough!"

Jiang Chuan ignored him.

Lin Ci then said from the side, "He is Dong Xing'an from the Yanjing organization."

"It seems the key to this rescue mission lies here..."

"Tian Tian was probably rescued by people from Fengtian or Yanjing."

Jiang Chuan nodded silently.

Compassion... so that's what it means.

The name of this eighth level is "Compassion," and the objective is to rescue your trapped teammates...

Being trapped originally meant being controlled by the opponent.

It wasn't that simple after all.

The initial rescue was just an appetizer.

……

"Who are you?"

Tian Tian looked at the pretty girl with exquisite makeup in front of her and asked the question with surprise and wariness.

When Liu Yi saw Tian Tian, she was also stunned for a moment, and then she realized the real goal of this challenge.

Thinking of this, she smiled.

It seems he has finally become interested.

She looked at Tian Tian, reached out and ran her hand through Tian Tian's hair, gently patted her cheek, and said, "I'm here to save you."

Tian Tian is quite capable, but with a gun pointed at her, she can only grit her teeth and endure it.

"You save me?"

"Why don't you put the gun down first?"

She tried her best to avoid that soft hand, but she was still trapped in the cabinet and couldn't move at all.

Although the other party was alone, this woman gave Tian Tian a feeling of being unfathomable.

Even in this virtual reality, even though everyone's mobility was restricted by the virtual reality... it still felt that her strength far exceeded their own.

Although she was smiling, and her smile was quite beautiful, it was extremely dangerous.

At this moment, Liu Yi withdrew his hand and placed his palm in front of Tian Tian.

Although Tian Tian didn't understand why, she still took her hand and walked out of the cabinet.

As she was being led out with a gun stuck in her lower back, Tian Tian listened to the questions behind her:
Which organization are you from?

"what is it call?"

Do you know Jiang Chuan?

Tian Tian didn't utter a sound.

She understood the situation; being rescued was not as simple as being pulled out of the closet.

Now that he has been found by the people of Fengtian, Jiang Chuan and the others will have to take him back from them.

Or they'll just run away...

But this woman is quite powerful...

It's going to be quite difficult to escape from this woman right now.

She pondered silently:

"What can I do?"

……

at the same time.

Zheng Yang was stunned when she saw the boy in the closet.

The sinister-looking man behind him said helplessly, "It seems that Fatty Dong Xing'an has also been rescued by another team."

"Cough cough cough..."

"This kid must be from Fengtian."

Although the boy was still in the closet, he was surprised to hear the sinister man's question and asked, "How did you know?"

The sinister-looking man smiled. "I wasn't sure at first."

"But since you put it that way, then it's now 100% certain."

The boy from Fengtian sighed helplessly, "You old fool."

Zheng Yang pulled the Fengtian boy out of the metal cabinet and then asked, "What's your name?"

The boy from Fengtian, head held high and neck stiff, said, "Don't try to trick me into revealing anything! Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"

Zheng Yang looked at him and seemed to see that idiot named Wu Zhen from the Qing City agency.

He knew very well that he couldn't do anything about this kind of person, so he glanced helplessly at the sinister-looking man beside him:

"Old Qin, why don't you ask?"

Qin Qing nodded: "Let's go back to the base first."

"The objective for winning this eighth level... cough cough... is now very clear."

"We need to bring back Dong Dapang, whose whereabouts are currently unknown."

"This kid can't die yet; we need to exchange hostages with them."

At this moment, the androgynous girl spoke up, "Dong Xing'an is definitely in Qing City."

Qin Qing paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "That's right, that's right."

"I was careless."

"But no matter what, we must first reclaim the shelters before making further plans."

……

Jiang Chuan and his group took Dong Xing'an back to the shelter.

First, Dong Xing'an was placed in a prison cell, with Lin Ci and Chen Ming in charge of guarding him.

Jiang Chuan went straight to Fan Lisheng's office.

"Captain Jiang?"

Fan Lisheng was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Chuan return so quickly: "Captain Jiang is back so fast, it seems the person was successfully rescued?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "You saved the wrong person."

Fan Lisheng was stunned when he heard this, not knowing what it meant.

But Jiang Chuan immediately added, "Boss Fan, don't you know anything about the other containment facilities?"

Fan Lisheng shook his head: "Three months ago, I had never heard of any other shelters in City X."

"However, it's normal for other containment facilities to exist."

“Before the disaster, City X had such a large population... of course, we weren’t the only ones.”

It seems this is a problem with the settings.

However, Jiang Chuan had already formed a certain judgment about the situation in the other shelters. He believed that the shelters in which the other people were located were completely the same as the shelters they were in, and that these NPCs themselves were probably unaware of this.

Then, Jiang Chuan continued, "The green liquid we brought back from the biochemical research institute in the fall..."

"What are those used for?"

Fan Lisheng shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Those things were all given to Zhou Ying. She's doing research on them."

"How could I possibly understand the things in the biochemistry research institute?"

Jiang Chuan said, "Then I'll go ask Zhou Ying?"

Fan Lisheng quickly raised his hand to stop him: "There's no need for that."

"Speaking of which, she did tell me some related information."

"Those green potions must be some kind of antidote."

"It seems that the biochemical research institute in City X had already conducted research on the zombie virus before it broke out and spread."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

Based on the notes obtained in the "Death Hospital" level, we know that this zombie virus was not entirely uncontrollable at first. It could be controlled with modern medical methods. These zombies are not so scary, so it is normal that an antidote was researched early on.

But... antidotes don't seem to be very useful, do they?
So after nodding, Jiang Chuan asked, "Besides the antidote, does it have any other effects?"

"What use would it have for uninjured people like us?"

Fan Lisheng shook his head: "I don't know."

"We don't dare to try it right now."

"Oh, by the way, Captain Jiang, you just said you brought back an outsider?"

"..."

"Captain Jiang, I'll be frank, I think that kid can be used to test the medicine."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "He was bitten too, and he was also using a slow-release agent to prolong his life."

I learned this when I brought the fat man back.

After all, it wasn't exactly crucial intelligence; they didn't even need to ask, Dong Xing'an himself requested a delaying agent.

However, the fat man named Dong Xing'an didn't say much about the detailed information from Zheng Yang in Yanjing.

Fan Lisheng shook his head with some regret: "That's a bit of a pity."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Then we can try to turn him back into a normal person."

Fan Lisheng shook his head again: "That would be a bit of a waste."

"There are quite a few people in our base who want to break free from the 'retardant's' influence."

"Let's find a volunteer from within the organization then."

Jiang Chuan said, "Boss Fan, what do you think about the existence of other shelters? We can't keep ignoring them forever."

"Resources are limited, and they will attack us sooner or later."

"What if they also have this drug, but we don't know its exact effects..."

"That could be dangerous."

Jiang Chuan had long known that Fan Lisheng was the kind of person who kept all his secrets to himself.

Therefore, obtaining the actual target information will indeed be more difficult. According to the design of virtual reality, you have to push them to the limit and hit a critical threshold before the AI will determine whether it can provide the corresponding items.

Fan Lisheng glanced at Jiang Chuan, then sighed: "Zhou Ying said that thing is too dangerous and difficult to control."

"We should prioritize stability for now."

"This is for your own good, Jiang Chuan. I don't want to lose such a capable assistant like you."

"Captain Jiang, there are only five doses of that medicine. If it really comes to a critical moment, I will give it to you."

"Now... now is definitely not the time."

Jiang Chuan nodded silently, and Fan Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Jiang Chuan would not press him any further.

But immediately, Jiang Chuan's voice came again:

"Give it to me first."

"Danger can arise unexpectedly; whether it's life or death, you always need to have a trump card."

"Whatever its effect, it's better than waiting to die when a crisis comes."

Fan Lisheng looked at Jiang Chuan, his mouth slightly open, appearing somewhat bewildered.

Jiang Chuan effectively shut down anything Jiang Chuan was about to say.

"you……"

Fan Lisheng wanted to say something more, and he wanted to refuse, but at the same time he felt that what Jiang Chuan said made a lot of sense.

Since I have already made the implications clear, and the medicine is still meant for Jiang Chuan and the others, why should I insist on giving it to them?
He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He nodded silently and said, "Okay..."

Jiang Chuan took the five green syringes from his hand, feeling somewhat amazed. The AI was now capable of doing things that were truly causing him trouble.

In the real world, why would you need to go through so much trouble?

If I just make a call to Dean Xu, or at the very least to Brother Li, do I really need to worry about this medicine?

Fan Lisheng watched as Jiang Chuan carefully put away the five green syringes, then lowered his head and said:
"You're busy, Captain Jiang, I... I still have things to take care of." Jiang Chuan smiled.

Upon seeing that smile, Fan Lisheng shuddered.

Jiang Chuan continued, "I don't have much to do, and I also have some questions to ask."

"Boss Fan, what's the deal with that document?"

Fan Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thinking that Jiang Chuan might want something else.

He began, "You mean the document you retrieved from the station last time?"

"Yes, that document is the drug document that the Biochemistry Research Institute is preparing to send away."

“Nothing special. If you want to see it, it’s with Zhou Ying now. I can ask Zhou Ying for it.”

"It should be the preparation plan for those green medicines I just gave you."

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment.

It seems that the document explains the efficacy of this green medicine, but Zhou Ying didn't tell Fan Lisheng?
Then we really need to go find Zhou Ying and demand an explanation.

Jiang Chuan nodded and made a move to leave.

Fan Lisheng was happy to see Jiang Chuan finally leaving, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Jiang Chuan stop again.

Adhering to the principle of taking advantage of every opportunity, Jiang Chuan smiled and looked at Fan Lisheng: "Boss Fan, could you give me some more of those stamina injections?"

Fan Lisheng took a box out of the drawer and slammed it on the table: "Take it!"

Jiang Chuan: "Okay!"

……

Jiang Chuan, Li Yi, and Lin Ci sat at a table in the prison canteen.

Chen Ming was in charge of guarding the "prisoners" and did not participate in the discussion.

Jiang Chuan recounted his conversation with Fan Lisheng, but he hadn't had a chance to go find Zhou Ying yet.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan trying to extort money from Fan Lisheng, Li Yi smiled and said, "That's very much in line with your style."

Jiang Chuan accepted the praise without hesitation, and then asked:
"How's it going over there?"

Was the interrogation successful?

Lin Ci shook his head: "That fat guy didn't say anything useful."

"According to him, he had just entered the eighth level, in that cabinet, and had not come into contact with Zheng Yang and the others."

Li Yi said, "Even if they had some plans before, they probably don't fit the current situation."

"No one could have imagined this would happen before we entered the eighth level."

"However, no matter what, if we want to be the first to clear the level, we have to rescue Tian Tian first..."

Lin Ci sighed, "It's very difficult."

Jiang Chuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"The biggest problem is that we need to find out the coordinates of the shelter where the Fengtian organization is located as soon as possible."

"Tian Tian should be in Fengtian."

Lin Ci paused for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed. If Tian Tian is in Yanjing, then Fengtian should have already completed the mission by now."

Li Yi nodded and then said, "The safest scenario for the three of us is actually a hostage exchange."

"The three parties exchanged information and worked together to break through the barrier."

Lin Ci frowned and said, "The crux of the game lies here."

"If they can win alone, neither side wants to share the victory."

"They won't, and neither will we."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "That's right."

……

Inside the detention center where the Fengtian Team was located, the other three members of the Fengtian Team stood in front of Liu Yi's cell.

What should we do with that woman?

"Big sister, how do we rescue our people?"

"If we can't rescue them, aren't we doomed?"

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Whether I win or not, I don't really care."

She smiled and continued, "We have people in our hands, so it doesn't matter which side this girl is on..."

"Neither Qing City nor Yanjing can win."

"Wait and see how they fight."

One of the girls spoke up: "Hey sis, why don't we just kill that girl?"

"This way, at least one side won't win."

Liu Yi nodded and said casually, "Okay."

A boy nearby frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Are you crazy? If we kill her, what will happen to our people? Don't you want to win?"

Liu Yi rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't say I'd kill you now."

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from behind.

A member of the internment camp's combat team ran over: "Liu Yi! Someone's looking for you outside the internment camp!"

"They said they came from Yanjing!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi raised his eyebrows: "See, here they are!"

……

at the same time.

Jiang Chuan also heard from the former captain that someone was looking for him.

Lin Ci frowned: "They arrived so quickly? How did they find us?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "There are only three prisons on the map of X City."

Then, Jiang Chuan looked at the former captain and said, "Let him in. Let him come directly to see me."

Soon, the tomboy who looked like a boy but was actually a girl stood in front of Jiang Chuan and the others.

She first nodded to Lin Ci and Li Yi, then looked at Jiang Chuan and said in a cool voice:
"I am Wu Xin from the Yenching Institute."

"Everyone understands the current situation."

"The best-case scenario right now is for us to exchange hostages."

"That way, all three of us can successfully pass the test."

"What do you think?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Tomboy Wu Xin glanced at Jiang Chuan, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

I didn't expect him to agree so readily.

But after agreeing, Jiang Chuan raised another question: "Besides exchanging them?"

"Let's talk about everything at once."

Wu Xin nodded, thinking that Jiang Chuan was easy to talk to.

But then I felt that someone so easy to talk to wasn't quite qualified to be compared to our number one.

He doesn't seem like the kind of leader capable of commanding a region at all...

But she certainly didn't reveal these thoughts on the surface; she still spoke expressionlessly:

"Besides exchanging hostages, Zheng Yang plans to join forces with you to take out the people in Fengtian first."

"They are number one, and they are the biggest variable for both you and us."

"This is in your best interest and ours as well."

"By then, we'll know each other inside and out, so we won't have to worry so much when we compete."

Jiang Chuan said, "But when the hostages were exchanged, my men were in Fengtian."

"Whether we ultimately win or not depends on Fengtian's attitude."

Wu Xin nodded and said, "This is also something we're worried about."

"Therefore, the best-case scenario is that all three of us pass smoothly."

"But if a problem arises, we can join forces to eliminate the people in Fengtian. In the end, whether we choose to exchange hostages or settle the score, things will be much easier."

Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem. No problem."

"Then let's do it your way."

Wu Xin paused for a moment, increasingly feeling that the hype surrounding Qing City No. 1 was a bit excessive.

But she quickly pulled out a map and said:

"Two hours later, the three of us will gather at the marked point on the map with our respective people."

"This location is equidistant from our three shelters, which is fair."

"Well, I'll be going now. See you in two hours."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Once the tomboy Wu Xin was out of sight, Lin Ci immediately spoke up:
"They will cooperate with us, and they may also cooperate with Fengtian."

Jiang Chuan said, "It's not a possibility."

"They will definitely cooperate with Fengtian."

Li Yi frowned and asked, "How did you determine that?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "No need to confirm."

"We must formulate our plans based on this premise."

Lin Ci asked, "Plan? What plan?"

Jiang Chuan said, "It's just a rescue plan."

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then scratched his head:
"It's a bit troublesome."

"I don't know what the situation is like in Fengtian."

"..."

Lin Ci looked at Jiang Chuan with a troubled expression, and was about to ask a question, but then heard Jiang Chuan say:

"Go and follow that woman, Lin Ci."

"Let's see where the refugee camp is in Yanjing."

"Just confirm the approximate location, then come back quickly."

Li Yi asked, "What about me?"

Jiang Chuan said, "It's alright for now."

"Alright, you rest for a while. I need to go ask about that fat guy."

……

When Chen Ming saw Jiang Chuan return, he greeted him, "Why are you only arriving now?"

"Li Yi just came over and told me about the situation."

"I was about to ask you the same thing, why didn't you detain that woman when she arrived?"

"Anyway, it will weaken the power of Yanjing."

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "I won't detain anyone."

"Otherwise, Yanjing would definitely side with Fengtian."

"This situation is not in our favor."

"I do hope that Fengtian can actually take one down... then we'll have won this round for sure."

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Dong Xing'an looked up and glanced at him in surprise.

Jiang Chuan met his gaze, smiled at him, and nodded.

Then Jiang Chuan asked Chen Ming, "Did he say anything?"

Chen Ming shook his head: "He didn't say anything."

"I don't even know what to ask."

Jiang Chuan opened the cell door, went inside, sat down next to Dong Xing'an, and asked, "How is it?"

Are you comfortable in the bed?

Dong Xing'an frowned: "What's there to be used to or not used to? It's all in virtual reality..."

"Why do you ask?"

Jiang Chuan smiled kindly: "It's just casual conversation."

"Let's try to corrupt you and see if that can make you switch sides."

Dong Xing'an laughed: "You're really stupid. My mission for the eighth level is to follow Yanjing. Why would I help you?"

Jiang Chuan laughed even harder: "You're right, how could I have forgotten about that?"

"How fast is Zheng Yang from your sect breaking through? He's second. Do you know his total time to break through?"

The fat man shook his head: "I really don't know."

He paused, then turned to Jiang Chuan with a hint of disbelief and asked, "You really want to talk about this?"

Jiang Chuan countered, "Otherwise, what would I talk about?"

"Like I said, it was just a casual chat. After all, we'll be colleagues in the future, so there's no point in making things too awkward."

"Am I right?"

The fat man thought it made a lot of sense and nodded.

Jiang Chuan continued, "Is your virtual reality character, Fan Lisheng, quite stingy?"

"Is it the same for me? They just make us do the work but don't give us anything?"

The fat man nodded: "Yeah... we had something as useful as injections, but we didn't get them until the seventh level..."

"..."

"Are you trying to trick me into telling me something?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "No."

"If you don't want to tell me, I will. There's no need to be so wary."

"We gave them fifteen injections."

Chen Ming glanced at Jiang Chuan, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips, but he had his back to the cell and was not seen by the fat man, Dong Xing'an.

The fat man was taken aback: "Fifteen?"

"We only have ten."

Jiang Chuan said, "You should ask him more often."

He pulled out four syringes as he spoke: "Look, here are two more."

"We each used one in the seventh round, and then we were given two more in the eighth round, so now we each have four."

The fat man was somewhat surprised: "You can ask him for more?"

Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "Then I'll give you one."

The fat man said, "Really?"

Jiang Chuan patted the fat man on the shoulder: "Hey, our Qing City and your Yanjing are brother institutions. Didn't we go to Yanjing for exchange and learning a while ago?"

"What's a tiny injection?"

"Give."

The fat man accepted the injection with a mixture of surprise and astonishment: "You're a really nice guy!"

"I'll have to talk to Zheng Yang about this when I get back. I told him he's inflexible; he only took ten of these important supplies..."

Jiang Chuan laughed and patted Dong Xing'an on the shoulder: "I'm just thick-skinned."

"You can tell from me that I'm a very outgoing person and I like to talk to people all the time."

"Do you know the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties? They're my buddies."

The fat man was taken aback for a moment: "That talkative guy who speaks classical Chinese? Ah, it's only natural that you two are close."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "It's a pity he didn't come this time, otherwise the alliance between Qing City and Yanjing would definitely be a done deal."

"Is your delay spray still effective? Can I get you some?"

Dong Xing'an felt more and more that Jiang Chuan was a good person. He shook his head sincerely: "There are still several hours left, that's enough."

Jiang Chuan started talking, chatting about everyday things.

From the three-person room at the Yanjing Institute to this third-stage helmet, and then to the journey of breaking through the first to the seventh level...

We chatted for a full half hour...

Jiang Chuan interrupted the conversation only after seeing Lin Ci return:

"Let's go."

"We need to get to the agreed location a little earlier; we need to gain an advantage."

Dong Xing'an nodded: "Okay!"

"what……"

"Jiang Chuan, I have to remind you, you need to be careful."

Dong Xing'an felt that Jiang Chuan was a very honest person with good character, and out of goodwill, he still gave him a reminder.

However, he certainly held back some things; he couldn't possibly reveal his entire plan to reap the benefits.

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment, then looked at Dong Xing'an, waved his hand, and said with a smile:

"It's alright, I trust the integrity of our partner organization."

"You would never lie to me."
