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

Chapter 222 Right or Wrong? Don't be so naive.
After the beast tide swept through, this once dense jungle became much sparser.

Jiang Chuan, holding onto the last remaining members of the Gan City team, was traversing through this almost ruined forest.

The Ganshi team member tried to resist, but having already broken his leg, he completely gave up struggling after Jiang Chuan severed his tendons with a dagger.

Even with the special medication, the Gansu team member was extremely weak due to the severity of his injuries.

His voice was barely audible, yet it still uttered a question from the depths of his soul:

"I don't know……"

What's the point of you running away like this?

"You can't get out of the barrier anyway... So what if you get close to the edge of the barrier?"

"You don't really think Mr. Lu and the others need to completely shut down the barrier to get in, do you?"

Jiang Chuan glanced down at him.

His eyes revealed a murderous intent.

Holding his collar, I could even feel him shiver after that one glance.

"Guess why I brought you along? You idiot."

The Gan City team member paused for a moment, his expression clearly thoughtful, before suddenly speaking with some surprise:
"You deliberately wanted them to chase after you!?"

"You don't want to live anymore!?"

The Gansu player never considered that Jiangchuan had any hope of turning the tide.

Jiang Chuan did not refute it.

In a sense, this is indeed no different from suicide.

But even if they team up with other players, does that guarantee a win?

"rest assured."

"I'll definitely drag you down with me before I die."

Jiang Chuan said this.

Upon hearing this, Gan Shi's team member said nothing more; he already knew his fate.

Now, he was just thinking with a worried expression...

If I hadn't followed the teacher's instructions and come here, would the outcome have been different?

But Jiang Chuan was thinking about something else entirely.

"Is Teacher Cao dead?"

"If he's not dead, where is he now?"

"Among those who are chasing me, there must be some of the people who killed Teacher Cao..."

"Their strength is all at least at the fourth tier..."

Thinking about this, Jiang Chuan even began to miss Princess Anle.

Princess Anle was strong, but she was precisely restrained by her own dream world.

The current situation is a true dead end.

"I wonder if Brother Jing has considered these things?"

"Perhaps my divination result is still the same as always?"

"..."

"How is the situation at headquarters now?"

What are my chances of winning?

"Is there any fan club coming?"

The more Jiang Chuan thought about it, the more desperate he felt.

From any perspective, it seems I have no way out this time.

The only problem is...

why?
Were the people who started this unrest all insane?
Why would someone as insignificant as himself cause such a huge commotion?
If he were to die, Jiang Chuan hoped he could die knowing why.

What exactly was Lu Bin's reason for attacking me?
As he thought this, he glanced again at the person he was holding in his hand.

However, this kid, as a peripheral figure in Lu Bin's entire operation, knew nothing about anything except the actions they needed to take.

"Disaster."

Jiang Chuan sighed silently to himself.

He looked up and saw the boundary of the barrier getting closer and closer...

He finally landed on the ground.

……

the other side.

The group responsible for capturing Jiang Chuan was rushing towards the direction from which the signal came from.

"He is already close to the edge of the barrier."

"Begin the encirclement formation."

"To prevent him from breaking through the encirclement."

The person in charge of the Jiangchuan manhunt calmly issued the encirclement order.

Behind him was the teacher in charge of the Gan City organization. His eyes were very gloomy. After receiving the news, he immediately changed direction and moved to the flank.

Meanwhile, Liu Hong, the person in charge, came through his communication channel: "Luo Yufei, rein in your murderous intent."

"You know what risks those children will face."

"We must capture Jiang Chuan alive. Don't forget Mr. Lu's instructions."

Luo Yufei remained silent for a long time before finally replying with only one sentence: "Mm".

His mind was in complete turmoil.

He now knew that his children had been completely reduced to cannon fodder.

The orders given to these children were to kill all the contestants, while the orders given to him were to capture them alive.

Even though their abilities are far inferior to geniuses like Jiang Chuan and Shi Shan, they are still children he has spent four months with, tutoring them with his heart and soul... Why must they become stepping stones for others?

But this was Teacher Lu's instruction.

He could only grit his teeth and promise not to kill.

Under these circumstances, everyone's expression changed.

At that moment, a voice came through the communication channel again.

"The signal indicates that the target is moving westward along the northern boundary wall."

"The mentalist is preparing to lock onto the target's location."

"Attention everyone, our mission objective is to capture them alive."

"Observe the target time, estimated at three minutes."

They moved forward very quickly.

One minute later, the mentalist accompanying the team locked onto the Gan City team members who were moving at high speed.

"Only one person's mental energy was detected..."

"Does the intelligence report mention any means by which Jiang Chuan can block mental energy scanning?"

"Could it be a method I learned in the last month?"

“It feels a bit strange.”

Although it felt a bit strange, they still didn't slow down their pace.

Another minute later, although they were still moving, they had already surrounded the rapidly moving signal point in parallel.

A minute later, they finally spotted the rapidly moving signal point with their own eyes.

"This……"

The seventeen top-tier fighters (ranks B and A) responsible for the encirclement fell silent.

Those with spiritual power finally understood why they had only been able to explore the spiritual power of one person.

At that moment, a strange beast was speeding along the barrier wall, and the half-dead Gan City team member was tightly bound to its body.

Luo Yufei frowned, rushed forward at lightning speed, like a falling meteor, and smashed the beast's head with a single punch.

They had just rescued the Gansu team member when they discovered that their student was in a terrible state. Not only was he missing a leg and his tendons severed, but he also had a very precise penetrating stab wound in his lung. He was barely breathing and was about to die.

When his students saw him and saw the excited look in their eyes, Luo Yufei felt a tremor in his heart.

He knew that the students had seen a glimmer of hope for survival.

He also knew that such an injury was beyond saving.

There was silence.

Everyone was watching this scene, their faces grim.

Although they were all mentally prepared, they were also all elites in the field team, and they were naturally moved when they saw such a scene.

Luo Yufei gritted his teeth and asked with some difficulty, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The student paused for a moment, then the light in his eyes immediately vanished: "My mom... don't tell my mom, Master."

He makes a loud, booming sound when he speaks.

"Don't tell her I did something like that..."

"Don't... disappoint her..."

Luo Yufei couldn't hold back his tears, and said in a trembling voice, "I will avenge you."

"Child, believe..."

He hadn't finished speaking when his voice faltered, and his face darkened further. The student had already breathed his last.

Luo Yufei put down his students, then looked up at Liu Hong, the person in charge of the operation: "Let's go."

"Find Jiang Chuan."

Liu Hong said, "You are temporarily excluded from the action group."

"Wait here for the operation to end."

Luo Yufei gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"

Liu Hong said in a cold voice, "Your mental state is unstable."

"I understand your situation."

"Don't make things difficult for me."

Luo Yufei's expression was somewhat angry, but after taking a few deep breaths, he could only grit his teeth and nod.

He still had a scale in his heart to weigh what was more important and what was less important.

However, if he had known that his students would face such an outcome, he would never have allowed them to get involved.

It's even less likely that they would promise anything like winning the championship.

Recalling the words his student had said before he died, he felt waves of shame and regret washing over him.

Just as the rest of the action team was about to leave, Luo Yufei suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"Liu Hong!"

The crowd stopped and turned to look at him.

Luo Yufei asked, "Is what we're doing really the right thing?"

Liu Hong, Lu Bin's most trusted subordinate, remained silent for a moment before saying, "Right or wrong...?"

"When did you start thinking about such childish questions?"

"You should understand that all we have left to pursue now is victory."

After saying that, he led his team away.

They left quickly, and within seconds, the sound of them moving through the woods could no longer be heard.

Liu Hong sat silently on the fallen tree trunk, looking at the body of his student, speechless.

Two minutes later, he suddenly frowned and turned around to look back.

A loud voice came from behind him: "Old Luo, it was you who killed these children."

Luo Yufei saw the tall figure standing on the tree trunk.

He stood up, his expression a mixture of emotions.

But he quickly looked at the tall figure and replied:

"You are still alive."

"Was it Li Yu who taught you the mental shielding technique?"

"We've been looking for you for over ten minutes, but we still can't find you..."

"I never expected that someone as rough as you could do such a delicate job as mental shielding."

Cao Zhigang took off his sunglasses, tossed them aside, revealing his double pupils, and said:
"Don't forget who my awakened memories belong to."

"I just don't want to use my brain, it doesn't mean I'm stupid."

Luo Yufei rubbed his wrists, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Clearly, the grief and indignation in his chest had transformed into an overwhelming desire to fight.

"They won't let me kill Jiang Chuan..."

“Killing his teacher would be the same.”

Cao Zhigang scoffed: "Your students will despise you."

"Turning your own colleagues into action sends your students down a path of betrayal."

"The children you value have become cannon fodder, and you don't even dare to question them..."

"Egoism? I don't think so."

"Old Luo, you're just plain stupid."

Luo Yufei frowned: "What do you know?"

"Our efforts are all for the future of humanity."

"For the preservation of this land."

Cao Zhigang frowned, then shook his head: "You've gone mad."

"I'll give you a ride."

As he spoke, his already muscular physique bulged with veins, and his entire body erupted with an incomparably domineering aura.

It seems that Cao Zhigang's strength has improved during this period, and he seems to be much stronger than he was on the highway that day.

Seeing this, Luo Yufei's pupils contracted slightly: "It seems that Li Yu, this dream master, can indeed improve your strength..."

Before he could finish saying the word "promotion," he was interrupted by an attack that came crashing down like lightning.

The two of them were locked in a fierce battle of ping-pong.

The already dilapidated forest became even more broken and fragmented after it became the battlefield for these two A-level warriors, with wood chips flying everywhere.

The fight between the two armored level four warriors was like two demon gods battling each other, with the latter showing a tendency to become stronger as the fight progressed.

……

The sound of the two A4s clashing was indeed loud, but it was dampened by the jungle.

Unbeknownst to those who were pursuing Jiang Chuan, he remained undetected.

They are still searching for any trace of Jiang Chuan.

"This kid is really smart..."

“They deliberately leaked their whereabouts, giving children from other institutions a chance to escape.”

"They even used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"It seems we underestimated him."

Another person responded by saying:

"Qingshi Qingshan Tomb, the chaos of the Nine Districts, this kid's strength and intelligence have long been acknowledged by us."

"It can only be said that we were a bit too presumptuous."

"Not taking him seriously was not an underestimation, but a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong neither agreed nor disagreed.

He simply said, "Search separately."

"There will be no trace of him on the west side."

"Our target is to the east, in the southeast direction."

"He must still be inside the barrier. Search in this direction..."

"We must find Jiang Chuan's location as soon as possible."

Upon hearing these words, the crowd immediately dispersed.

……

ten minutes later.

Liu Hong still had not found any trace of Jiang Chuan.

They are all seasoned field team experts, each with their own methods for conducting such searches.

But why haven't we found Jiangchuan's location yet?
He was a little anxious.

Based on their movement speed, they are much faster than Jiang Chuan. Even if they were delayed by a few minutes, they shouldn't still not have found Jiang Chuan's whereabouts by now.

Was it because the speed was misjudged?

Or is it because Jiang Chuan has some unique hiding skills?
According to their intelligence, this shouldn't have happened.

He spoke into the communicator, asking, "Have any teams spotted the target?"

Soon, a report came through the communication channel: "Number two not detected."

No. 3 was found.

"..."

No one was found on number five.

"Number seven has not been found."

"..."

Liu Hong paused for a moment, then immediately interrupted the report, his figure, which was rushing through the jungle, also came to a stop.

"What about number six? Song Guangrong?"

"answer!"

Number four is Luo Yufei. He was excluded from the mission, so of course he wouldn't respond. But number six wasn't excluded, so why didn't he report?
Even if attacked...

He should also have enough strength to quickly suppress Jiang Chuan.

No matter how skilled Jiang Chuan is among his peers, he is still too young compared to these seasoned veterans.

Even if Jiang Chuan were powerful enough to fight Song Guangrong, Song Guangrong shouldn't be so unable to even make a sound...

Liu Hong was completely baffled. He gritted his teeth, and some other possibilities began to emerge in his mind.

"Jiang Chuan may have already joined up with Cao Zhigang!"

"All units, immediately assemble in the direction of Song Guangrong (No. 6)!"

"In any case, Jiang Chuan should be in that direction!"
