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

Chapter 186 Using Every Means Possible: The Key to Victory! A Sudden Change Occurs!

He's trying to muddy the waters!

Yes, muddying the waters...

Jiang Chuan did indeed achieve this.

Zheng Yang and Liu Yi, who originally planned to cooperate and eliminate Jiang Chuan first, have turned against each other.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chuan, with just a few words, joined forces with Zheng Yang to launch an attack on Liu Yi.

The other team members, besides the three captains, were also caught up in an absurd melee.

Everything about it felt so eerie...

"What are these kids thinking? Especially Jiang Chuan... what is he doing?"

"Regardless, only the students from the Yanjing Institute have brought the person back. The only ones who might win are the people from Yanjing!"

"Come on, look at that girl from Fengtian, she's practically grinding her teeth to powder, do you think she'd let that chubby kid go?"

"This chubby kid will definitely be kicked out of the virtual reality soon, and then it will be a three-way battle. Only when only one side is left will they be considered the winner... Could it be that Jiang Chuan had planned this all along?"

Feng Xiaobo originally wanted to teach Jiang Chuan a lesson, a lesson that would leave a deep impression on him, but now it seems that the situation has taken an unexpected turn.

But his colleagues' words at this moment brought him back to his senses from the shock:
"It's too difficult to wipe out everyone on one side."

"Whether it's Liu Yi, Zheng Yang, or Jiang Chuan, they all possess the ability to survive under these conditions. Once they escape the battlefield and the relentless pursuit begins, who knows when this eighth level will end..."

Wang Xuejun, however, spoke with great interest, pondering:

"Jiang Chuan definitely hasn't used his full strength yet..."

"But that doesn't make sense. Wouldn't it be most advantageous to kill these two as soon as possible?"

Someone nearby offered an explanation for Wang Xuejun's confusion: "If he really isn't just fooling around, then there's only one explanation for his behavior right now."

"..."

"He was worried that both of his opponents also had their own trump cards."

Feng Xiaobo nodded: "Neither of them has fully exerted their strength; they are both wary of each other."

"If we strike first, it will only lead to a joint attack from the other two sides..."

"This is virtual reality after all. Even if you do have strength that surpasses your opponent's, it's useless..."

"The basic stats are there, so they can't possibly reveal all their cards."

"But the question is, has Jiang Chuan really thought about all this?"

Wang Xuejun raised his eyebrows: "You underestimate Jiang Chuan. If he hadn't thought that far ahead, he would have already given it his all."

Feng Xiaobo paused for a moment, then nodded in astonishment.

He found it hard to believe, but it seemed to be the truth.

That means... Jiang Chuan had already seen through Yanjing's tricks, and even anticipated that Fengtian would kill the hostages.
Were all of these things within his calculations?
Everyone fell into deep thought.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

Someone murmured a question, breaking the silence of the crowd:
"Since he had already realized all this, and even devised his own plan based on the other party's strategy..."

"So he's still pretending to be open and honest?"

"You were ambushed and you still acted surprised?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaobo immediately recalled Jiang Chuan's pretentious remark earlier, "You have seventeen guns!?"

I wonder what Liu Yi's expression will be when she finds out the number of syringes Jiang Chuan has.

……

In the circular plaza, the battles in various locations have gradually reached a fever pitch.

Almost everyone took out their syringes and gave themselves an injection.

This relentless, all-out attack temporarily maintained the balance.

At this moment, although Dong Xing'an was fighting two against one, the strength of the others in Fengtian, apart from Liu Yi, was indeed slightly inferior...

Although he was in a sorry state, he wouldn't die anytime soon.

Li Yi was unable to gain the upper hand in her battle against Qin Qing from Yanjing. Although Qin Qing was clearly weaker than Li Yi, he was still able to hold on with the help of stamina injections.

As Feng Xiaobo said, although there are differences in strength, the basic stats are there, and these are all top teams, so even if there are differences, they won't be too much.

Besides the battles between the team members, the fight between the three captains is also approaching a fever pitch.

Because they had all been injected with stamina boosters, their movements were more powerful and threatening, yet none of them could overcome the other, maintaining an incredibly strange balance.

Among them, Zheng Yang was the most anxious.

The only hostage still alive is Dong Xing'an.

His Yanjing team had the best chance of winning, and he desperately tried to figure out how to escape, or at least how to get Dong Xing'an out of the way.

He urged, "Jiang Chuan! Kill this woman quickly!"

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Jiang Chuan! Quickly kill this man!"

Jiang Chuan: "Okay!"

"Neither of you will survive!"

The whip has a wide area of ​​effect, making a hissing sound as it whips through the air, and the killing power at the tip of the whip is indeed considerable...

Overall, Jiang Chuan and Zheng Yang were indeed cooperating, relentlessly pressing Liu Yi, but their daggers and swords would occasionally clash...

The three moved with incredible speed, wielding whips, swords, and daggers in a crisscrossing fashion, their movements graceful and varied amidst the wind and snow, creating a scene reminiscent of the beauty of martial arts films.

The sounds of whips whistling through the air and metal clanging together rang out continuously.

Although both Liu Yi and Zheng Yang sensed that something was wrong with Jiang Chuan, they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was...

After all, the reality is right in front of us...

Once that fat guy dies, it will be a fight to the death among the three parties. Only when two parties are completely kicked out of the virtual reality will one side be determined as the winner.

What exactly is Jiang Chuan delaying?
What are you planning again?
What could possibly be worth him dragging his feet on?
But at this point, no one could stop; the second stamina injection had already been used.

Although Zheng Yang was composed, he was starting to lose his composure as the situation became increasingly bizarre.

"Jiang Chuan! What exactly do you want?!"

"What good will it do you to stall for time!?"

Liu Yi also wanted to know the answer to this question, so she asked, "Yes, Jiang Chuan, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Of course, it's for winning."

Zheng Yang said, "If you can't kill us, how can you win! How much longer do you want to waste here!?"

"If I really want to run, this hurdle will waste at least a few days!"

"Isn't the situation clear now? Let Yanjing win quickly, then you can match with other teams. That's much more efficient than wasting time here!"

Jiang Chuan then looked at Liu Yi: "Where are my men?"

Liu Yi brandished his whip and said, "Kill him, kill him, didn't I tell you?"

Jiang Chuan then asked Liu Yi, "Did you kill him yourself?"

"You watched them kill him?"

At this point, Zheng Yang had a bad feeling.

Liu Yi's smile gradually stiffened.

But she immediately shook her head: "Impossible!"

"All four of you from Qing City are here, how could you possibly be trying to take hostages?"

Zheng Yang frowned:

"It's impossible to rescue the hostages in terms of both time and space!"

"You were two minutes late getting here, but what can you possibly do in just two minutes?!"

"Besides, at that time you had no way of knowing whether the hostages had been brought out!"

"Jiang Chuan, stop playing these tricks!"

"There's no point in wasting time here!"

Jiang Chuan smiled but didn't say anything.

The three fought without pause, even while conversing.

If any one of the three of them stopped, they would be attacked by the other two, giving them a sense of being unable to control their own destiny.

And this situation seems likely to continue.

The duration of the second dose of the energy booster has already expired.

The smile on Liu Yi's lips disappeared, and Zheng Yang's expression became increasingly serious.

They all sensed that something was wrong...

But what exactly is the problem? What is Jiang Chuan trying to do?!

At this moment...

The heavy snowfall suddenly stopped, and everyone who was fighting against it was completely frozen in place.

All of this happened so suddenly that everyone was utterly astonished when they stopped moving.

Then, lines of text appeared before Jiang Chuan's eyes.

[021010101D Jiangchuan, Level 8 successfully cleared];
[Level 8 (Part 2) access has been unlocked];
[Time taken to complete level 8: 5:14:46] ...

……

"what!?"

A gasp of utter surprise and astonishment erupted in the planning team's office. Even they hadn't realized what had happened when Jiang Chuan won.

Even from their omniscient perspective as spectators, they found it utterly unbelievable...

Everyone from the Qing City organization was on the battlefield, so how did they achieve this victory?!
How did he do that?!

For a moment, silence fell over the planning team's office.

Could it be that the Fengtian agency had already released the hostages from Qing City?

That girl is indeed crazy, but does that mean she should let the hostage go?
At that moment, a cry filled with disbelief erupted from the staff in the planning team's office:

"NPC!"

"He manipulated the NPCs!!!"

The group leaders and project managers sitting in the front row all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Feng Xiaobo immediately exclaimed, "Backtrack! Backtrack!"

The staff member nodded immediately and then began operating the system in front of him.

Soon, the timeline within the virtual reality was dragged to a point more than forty minutes earlier.

At the same time, the camera suddenly rose and then fell rapidly, landing on an NPC in the Fengtian-affiliated shelter...

……

More than forty minutes ago.

The detention center belonging to the Fengtian Team.

In the accommodation area, which is also the prison area, a fully armed figure was walking slowly down the corridor.

As he walked, other NPCs greeted him.

He walked until he reached the end of the prison area, to a narrow, quiet, and deserted corridor, and then walked along the corridor to its end, stopping in front of a cell.

He looked at the girl inside the cell through the door and silently raised his pistol.

Looking at the girl's pitiful appearance, he spoke in a complicated tone:
"Don't blame me."

"That woman arranged for me to kill him."

Tian Tian looked at the gun barrel in front of her, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Playing the victim won't work.

This NPC is truly heartless.

I never expected that this eighth level would end like this, even though I hadn't done anything.

Tian Tian felt somewhat helpless.

It wasn't until the NPC raised his gun and aimed it at Tian Tian's forehead, ensuring a fatal blow to avoid any unnecessary pain, that the NPC continued shooting.

As Tian Tian watched him tighten his fingers, she slowly closed her eyes.

Although she knew this was a virtual reality, she had certainly experienced the pain of being bitten by a zombie...

boom!
There was a gunshot.

Tian Tian shrugged abruptly.

She had never experienced a headshot and didn't know what it felt like, but now... aside from feeling lingering fear, she didn't feel anything else.

"Did they just log off?"

Tian Tian opened her eyes.

He found himself still in prison.

The guy who had just tried to kill him was now lying in a pool of blood.

The head that was blown off... it was his head.

"what?"

Tian Tian was utterly astonished and incredibly surprised.

But when she saw another figure appear at the cell door, she suddenly realized: "Uncle!?"

The weathered middle-aged man nodded: "Captain Jiang sent me to find you."

"I've been looking for him for ages, but thankfully I found him..."

The former captain looked at the combatant he had just shot in the head with a strange expression: "Tian Tian, ​​do you know... what happened?"

"Why are the people in this shelter... exactly the same as the people in our shelter?"

Tian Tian immediately shook her head: "I don't know either."

"Captain Jiang should know; you can ask him later."

The former captain paused for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go first."

"Team Leader Jiang said you need to take back the detention center as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he opened the cell door for Tian Tian.

He then took out a mask and goggles, put them on Tian Tian, ​​and led her away through the emergency exit.

Inside the shelter, no one would doubt a human being walking normally.

They would not doubt a member of a combat team.

Their journey out of the shelter was extremely smooth.

Just after leaving the shelter entrance, the man took out a transparent plastic bag from his chest.

Tian Tian saw what was inside the plastic bag; it looked like some... blood-stained strips of cloth?
Tian Tian asked in confusion, "What is this?"

The uncle smiled and said, "This is fish bait."

"I just moved in a few frozen zombies to thaw inside."

"With this added, the task assigned by Captain Jiang will be almost complete..."

……

After watching this video, everyone in front of the big screen froze.

This is fucking possible?!

They're really using NPCs!
These three prisons are exactly the same in terms of structure and staffing. Jiang Chuan took advantage of this to let an NPC infiltrate the Fengtian Containment Center!

"How could he have thought of using it like that!?"

"His earlier casual conversation with Dong Xing'an was for this reason!? He's been considering whether all the shelters should be completely identical!"

"Who said this kid is incapable of handling important tasks?! I must get an explanation for Jiang Chuan!"

The craftsman team leader chuckled: "I knew Jiang Chuan was a promising talent."

But the foreman of the craftsmen's group suddenly frowned again, and he pondered for a moment before saying:

"No, that's not right!"

"How did Jiang Chuan know that girl was still alive!?"

"No, first of all, Jiang Chuan has no way of knowing that this girl is still alive. This is too much of a coincidence!"

Feng Xiaobo immediately turned around and winked: "Backtrack!"

More than 2 hours and 50 minutes ago...

After arranging for Lin Ci to follow Wu Xin from Yanjing to confirm the location of the Yanjing shelter, Jiang Chuan and Li Yi parted ways. Originally, Jiang Chuan was supposed to go find Dong Xing'an, but in reality, he went to find the former captain of the NPC team first...

He assigned the former captain a mission: to infiltrate other containment facilities.

At the same time, it wasn't just the former captain who went to the Fengtian Containment Center; other combat team members also rushed to the Yanjing Containment Center.

After reading Jiang Chuan's explanation, everyone suddenly realized what had happened.

"He didn't intend to save people? Saving people was just a side effect?"

"He wants to destroy the other two containment facilities!?"

"Who just said Jiang Chuan was indecisive?"

Feng Xiaobo suddenly understood why Jiang Chuan was stalling for time.

According to Jiang Chuan's plan, he was to use Zhou Ying's blood and the zombies to destroy the other two shelters!

The combat team members were certainly familiar with the layout of the containment facility, and they knew that for safety reasons, there was only one entrance and exit!

And the zombies will quickly destroy those two shelters!

In this way, even if Zheng Yang and Liu Yi escape, the final victory will surely belong to the Qing City organization!

Even if Tian Tian had already been kicked off the show, it wouldn't matter!
Jiang Chuan had already blocked their escape route!
Feng Xiaobo reviewed Jiang Chuan's plan and felt that he had predicted everything!
"That's really exaggerated?"

While everyone in the planning team's office was stunned by Jiang Chuan's arrangement...

Another strange sound rang out in the planning team's office:
"They haven't logged off...?"

"..."

"Boss!"

"The Qing City, Yanjing, and Fengtian groups are all offline!"

"The plot seems to have undergone independent changes!"

"Nine Paths has directly unlocked the ninth level!!"

Wow!

Feng Xiaobo's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up, so forcefully that he knocked over the chair he was sitting on.

"What did you say!?"
