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

Chapter 189 The cheat code is online! Assemble, on the road to survival!

The writing appeared abruptly and disappeared just as quickly. When Jiang Chuan came to his senses, he found himself standing in the prison cell again.

This must have been made by that guy from the Nine Lines.

He still didn't know what the AI ​​that called itself Nine Lines was trying to do, but at this moment, the most important thing was still the mission.

Jiang Chuan walked out of the cell with a frown on his face.

As soon as Lin Ci stepped out of the cell, he also came out looking completely bewildered: "What happened?"

"How come there's suddenly a tenth level?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "There might be a problem with the settings."

Just as Jiang Chuan was speaking, Li Yi, Chen Ming, and Tian Tian also ran back from other places.

It seems that only I and Lin Ci have been forced back to their birthplace.

Tian Tian looked at everyone and asked suspiciously, "Did you see that? Level 10!"

Chen Ming: "I remember there were only nine levels?"

Jiang Chuan said, "None of that matters. There's something strange about the mission hints this time."

Li Yi nodded solemnly: "The mission objective is to survive for 120 minutes, and it particularly emphasizes cherishing life."

"This means... if I die this time, I might really be dead."

Chen Ming looked at Jiang Chuan and asked, "What should we do?"

Jiang Chuan distributed several green potions to each person, giving one to each person and six stamina injections to each individual.

Jiang Chuan said, "Once the 120-minute countdown begins, these six injections will ensure that we can remain in a state of not being able to exert physical strength for those 120 minutes."

"Then there's this green potion. Its effect is to allow us to perform at the same level as in real life in virtual reality, without being limited by our physical abilities."

Chen Ming looked at the green injection and said with slight surprise, "There's such a good thing?"

Jiang Chuan nodded, just about to speak...

boom!
A violent explosion rang out, and the entire prison began to tremble!
Screams suddenly rang out in the shelter!
The shockwave from the explosion sent dust and sand flying everywhere, and the ground shook violently, making it difficult to stand, just like an earthquake!
At that moment, a countdown suddenly appeared in Jiang Chuan's vision:
【1:59:59】.

It seems it's time to officially begin the tenth level.

The tremors had not yet subsided, but Jiang Chuan's voice had already rang out:
"Let's go!"

"Leave the shelter!"

Although the cause of the explosion is still unknown, it is clear that the shelter is no longer providing any protection and may even be more dangerous than the zombies outside!
Without saying a word, everyone immediately followed Jiang Chuan's footsteps and ran towards the only hidden exit!

The full impact of the violent explosion on the NPCs inside the containment facility has not yet been revealed, and their frantic run along the way has been unimpeded.

Jiang Chuan, having completed the second stage (part 2) so many times, was already very familiar with the route out of the shelter, so the route was no problem for him at all.

"Captain Jiang! What happened?!"

"Captain Jiang!? Where did it explode?"

The soldiers in those internment camp combat squads would ask similar questions when they saw Jiang Chuan running wildly down the corridor.

But they did not get an answer.

On one hand, Jiang Chuan himself didn't know the answer to this question...

On the other hand, even if we knew the answer, what good would it do?
Jiang Chuan already had a premonition about what was to come...

This world will be turned upside down!
Jiang Chuan knew very well that the 120-minute timescale meant that the explosion was just an appetizer.

Some ordinary zombies posed no threat to the five-person team from Qing City. Since the mission objective emphasized "cherishing life," what they would face next was definitely not just ordinary zombies!
He didn't want to die here, and he certainly didn't want his friends to die here.

While Jiang Chuan was pondering a solution...

Another line of text appeared before his eyes.

The handwriting is outside the countdown.

[Jiang Chuan, this is Xu Shan from the Jiuhang Project Team of the Technical Group.]

I am aware of your current situation on level 10.

I will guide you through these 120 minutes!

Upon seeing these lines, Jiang Chuan felt an immediate relief from the pressure in his heart!

Support from the headquarters' technical team! Jiang Chuan knew, of course, what kind of experts these were; just hearing their names made him feel that they were extremely reliable!

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the scene in front of him changing.

All the NPC units appeared before my eyes!
Even zombies!

Outlined silhouettes appeared behind the wall, and the densely packed zombies in the distance also came into Jiang Chuan's view!
This is the complete perspective effect!

That's not all...

After those outlined phantoms finished loading, a map of City X appeared in his view!

Zombie hotspots are marked on the map!

Jiang Chuan was overjoyed when he saw this!
During these 120 minutes of survival, the biggest threat is the zombie horde!
With this map, they can avoid areas densely populated with zombies, greatly increasing their chances of survival!

The cheat software is now available!
……

The two sides met outside the Yanjing shelter and were now rushing towards the Qingshi shelter.

As they headed towards the Qing City government offices, Liu Yi said, feigning surprise:

"I didn't expect that even Yanjing would be tricked by Jiang Chuan?"

"Aren't you allies?"

Zheng Yang's expression grew even more somber whenever the matter was mentioned.

He glanced back at the fat man, Dong Xing'an, and then said, "We've run into some internal problems..."

"I'll handle this properly once I get out of here."

Dong Xing'an noticed this look and sighed silently.

At this moment, Dong Xing'an's feelings were very complicated.

Although they rationally recognized the situation and believed that Jiang Chuan was indeed the culprit behind the collapse of the Yanjing and Fengtian shelters.

However, emotionally, he still refused to believe that Jiang Chuan's repeated claims of "friendship first" were just a facade.

Liu Yi smiled after hearing Zheng Yang's words.

"That's right..."

"These things should indeed be dealt with after we get out of here."

The smile on her lips remained unchanged, but her voice carried a hint of regret: "Level ten... this was truly unexpected."

Zheng Yang said, "We need to find that group in Qing City as soon as possible and reunite them. The overall combat strength of the people in Qing City is indeed stronger than ours..."

boom!
Zheng Yang's words were interrupted by a huge explosion.

The group of eight suddenly stopped and looked in the distance toward the Qing City shelter.

A huge flame shot into the sky, and thick black smoke billowed out.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Dong Xing'an said, almost as if relieved:

"I told you! I told you he didn't lie to me!"

"Brother Zheng, look!"

"The shelters in Qing City are also in trouble!"

"I told you! Jiang Chuan is a good person!"

Zheng Yang ignored him and said with a serious expression, "Let's hurry and meet them as soon as possible!"

Just as they were about to set off again, they saw several figures rushing toward their location.

The speed at which it exploded at full power was such that it arrived in front of them in almost an instant.

Jiang Chuan greeted them first: "Are you all here?"

Zheng Yang nodded, and said with a slightly bewildered look, "You came here to find us?"

Jiang Chuan hummed in agreement, then continued, "Come with me."

"The chances of survival are higher."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi paused for a moment, then smiled and remained silent.

Zheng Yang frowned, but didn't speak. Qin Qing from Yanjing, however, coughed twice: "Ahem."

"Go with you? Will that increase my chances of survival?"

"Can we trust you...?"

Jiang Chuan glanced at him and sneered, "You people from Yanjing, please go ahead."

Qin Qing wanted to say something more, but Zheng Yang interrupted her:

"We'll go with you."

Qin Qing glanced at Zheng Yang, then shut up and said nothing more.

Qin Qing knew in her heart that Jiang Chuan must have some connections, otherwise he would never have found them so easily.

After leaving the Qing City shelter, no matter where they go, there are too many paths, and they will find them with perfect accuracy, which is not something that can be done by ordinary means.

Even so, Qin Qing still had to say those words.

Who will lead, and who will step up when danger arises... these are all things that need to be considered.

Qin Qing is a very suspicious and anxious person. He finds it difficult to trust others, which also means he doesn't believe that others can fully trust him. In Qin Qing's eyes, they are all outsiders to Jiang Chuan, and Fengtian is also an outsider. This needs to be said to Fengtian, since Liu Yi hasn't expressed his opinion.

At this moment, Liu Yi smiled and said, "If we want to survive, we must work together."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely follow your orders here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing's already gloomy expression darkened even further.

However, Jiang Chuan did not give Qin Qing a time to speak, but only said, "Tell me about the consumables you have."

Zheng Yang spoke first: "Each of us only has one dose left."

Liu Yi then said, "I have thirty more vials, plus five vials containing green liquid."

Zheng Yang was stunned: "Thirty sticks!?"

"Why are there more again!?"

Liu Yi was also taken aback for a moment, then turned to the side and asked, "Didn't you ask Fan Lisheng for it?"

Zheng Yang sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan spoke up: "Time's up."

The five people from Qing City simultaneously drew out their stamina injections and injected them with a hiss.

The people from Fengtian and Yanjing were dumbfounded by the arrogant way Jiang Chuan and his group used their methods.

Jiang Chuan then took out six more syringes and tossed them to Zheng Yang: "These are the extras we have."

"You can use it."

"Liu Yi, you should also set aside some; that should be enough."

"At least we won't suffer any reduction in combat effectiveness due to physical fatigue."

Liu Yi was already dazed, and when she saw that Jiang Chuan had six more syringes left, her eyes widened even more.

Where did you get so many?

Jiang Chuan countered, "Don't you have a lot too?"

Liu Yi said, "I just snatched it from Fan Lisheng!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "How do I know I'm not?"

Liu Yi knew very well that Jiang Chuan wasn't him, but she had no proof.

At this point, Jiang Chuan changed the subject:
"Alright, you only have three people in Fengtian now, so you only need fifteen branches in total. Yanjing has five branches, I gave you six, and you give me fifteen more, so we'll still have one branch left over."

Although Liu Yi's eyes were still fixed on Jiang Chuan, she still managed to dispense her own injection.

She originally thought that the reason she would lose in the eighth level was because she didn't witness the killing of the girl named Tian Tian herself. But now, seeing the number of stamina injections Jiang Chuan had, she realized that even if she had killed Tian Tian earlier, the outcome wouldn't have changed. It would just have taken Jiang Chuan a little longer to win.

What kind of person is this?

At this moment, Jiang Chuan spoke solemnly:
"As you can see from this tenth level, dying here is a real death."

"If you want to survive, you must do everything you can."

"Remember, if you absolutely must do as I say."

"I……"

"I will take you all back."

In the end, Jiang Chuan inadvertently said the same thing as Xu Shan.

But these words were effective; Zheng Yang nodded and said, "Of course."

"The capable should take the lead, Jiang Chuan, I'm entrusting the command to you."

Liu Yi also chimed in: "Boss, where are we going?"

Jiang Chuan began to speak:
"We're going to the biochemical research institute in the seventh level. It should take us about forty minutes to get there."

"And for the last sixty minutes, we will hold out there until the very last moment."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, his gaze drifted further into the distance.

Xu Shan had already outlined the path forward in front of him; the huge, semi-transparent arrow was flashing before his eyes.

Jiang Chuan's gaze, however, was not focused on the arrow.

Countless silhouettes are reviving from the ice, and a dense array of figures on the horizon are approaching them.

Those were enormous super zombies, and there were also some unique beings that had never been seen before.

It seems that these thirteen people are at odds with the entire world.

……

In the planning team's office, Feng Xiaobo was watching Jiang Chuan and his team's actions.

He had, of course, learned from Wang Xuejun that Xu Shan was doing everything he could to make amends.

Feng Xiaobo was initially worried about Jiang Chuan's leadership, fearing that some discord might arise among their teams. However, seeing that Jiang Chuan had completely secured command with just a few words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the situation remains far from optimistic.

In the office, the staff were transmitting the sudden changes in the virtual reality environment one after another.

"Zombie data is being copied in bulk!"

"The maximum zombie limit has been altered! It has now reached 30 million!"

"Map boundaries have been removed! The city area is continuing to expand!"

"The third squad will encounter a horde of 5,000 zombies in five minutes!!"

Everyone's face turned grim.

Among them, the one with the worst expression was Feng Xiaobo.

Because he saw and understood the appearance of three abnormal data points.

That was the ultimate weapon he designed for the zombie world, something that should have only appeared in the background story, and it was now heading towards the location of Jiang Chuan and the others.

Zhou Ying. She possesses the largest amount of data among all NPCs, and this amount of data naturally represents extreme power.

It should be noted that in the first level (second half), the three super zombies blocking the way were originally supposed to be dealt with by the injured Zhou Ying.

Not only that, the final boss, who was originally in the ninth level, is also heading towards the location where Jiang Chuan and his group are.

Five minutes later, five thousand zombies...

These five thousand zombies aren't a problem for the children, but they will still slow them down...

Once their speed slows down, these thirteen people will face six of the most powerful monsters!

So... will they be able to get to the biochemical laboratory in time?
Just as Feng Xiaobo's hope was being eroded bit by bit, a high-pitched shout, both unexpected and joyful, rang out in the office:
"Technical team code overwrite begins!"

"The zombie growth rate has slowed down!"

"The number of buildings is increasing; they're using buildings to construct the Great Wall!!"

"Helicopter and pilot NPC have spawned!"

He grabbed the monitor excitedly and shouted:
"Boss!! The tech team is really pushing their limits!!"
