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

Chapter 223 is full of traps, despair, despair!

Liu Hong squatted beside the broken tree trunk, his face solemn, and reached out to close Song Guangrong's eyelids.

"The fatal wound is on the top of the head."

"There are no other external injuries."

"Yes……"

"One strike to kill."

He silently informed his colleagues standing around him of Song Guangrong's death.

Upon hearing his report, everyone's expression changed drastically.

A fatal blow?
How can it be?

Even if they were also launching a sneak attack, it would be impossible for them to kill someone with a single blow.

Song Guangrong's strength was also recognized by them. Even though they were both ranked in the top four, there were still differences in their levels. Song Guangrong was at an above-average level even in the top four. How could he be easily defeated by a student?

Someone immediately asked, "Who did this?"

"Cao Zhigang?"

Liu Hong shook his head: "Cao Zhigang doesn't have the habit of using weapons."

He lifted Song Guangrong's head, looked at the top of his head, and said:
"And it's clearly a dagger wound."

"Yes……"

He clenched his fist and made a downward thrusting motion, then continued:
"This is how the kill was accomplished."

The expressions on everyone's faces changed again.

Jiang Chuan has actually gained such strength?
What a joke! ?

Immediately, someone spoke up, asking a question in shock: "How is it possible to do this? No matter how capable Jiang Chuan is, he's still just a student. Is someone cooperating with him?"

Another person chimed in, "That's right, Song Guangrong is a psycho-type, he shouldn't have been ambushed."

Some have hypothesized: "Perhaps Jiang Chuan has mastered the means to block mental energy scanning? According to intelligence, Jiang Chuan has a close relationship with Li Yu of Group Three..."

But he shook his head and overturned his own assumption: "If he had learned how to block mental scanning, why would he do so many complicated things? It was all about luring the tiger away from the mountain and choosing to ambush. If Song Guangrong hadn't detected his whereabouts, then Jiang Chuan's priority should have been to hide, not to kill him."

Liu Hong nodded and said, "But in any case, it must have been Jiang Chuan who committed the murder."

"When we were examining the bodies of those children in Ganj City just now, we found similar causes of death."

He paused slightly, then continued:
"The fact that he was able to kill Song Guangrong instantly without him even having a chance to communicate demonstrates his strength."

"Be careful with your next move."

"Even if he tries to escape, he can't get too far. Let's keep chasing him."

"Now……"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.

Streaks of lightning left their mark across the sky, covering a distance of over ten kilometers in the blink of an eye, and had already approached the outside of the barrier where they were located!

The azure lightning bolt stopped in mid-air, like a lightning sun, illuminating the ruined forest in blue!
Inside the barrier, everyone's expression immediately froze.

It's Mr. Zhou!

Their bodies tensed immediately, their eyes filled with fear and solemnity as they watched the figure emerge from the lightning.

As the figure slowly shed its lightning cloak, a middle-aged man dressed in a thin shirt and trousers stood proudly high in the sky, frowning as he looked down at the crowd below.

Although he was frowning, he didn't seem very angry.

His eyes held only calm and tranquility, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking or what judgment he was about to make.

Is he going to break through the barrier and kill them all?
Should we try to persuade them to surrender?
But they were all wrong.

Mr. Zhou quickly raised his head again and looked into the distance. Then, ignoring the crowd, he transformed into lightning once more and sped away into the distance.

Only when the lightning truly disappeared did their previously stiff bodies resume their movements.

It was only a few seconds of confrontation, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.

This is the oppressive feeling of wearing armor...

They breathed a sigh of relief, but were puzzled:

"Mr. Zhou...why didn't you make a move?"

"Is it because you can't break through the barrier?"

"Do you believe he can't break through the barrier, or do you believe I am Qin Shi Huang?"

"..."

Liu Hong frowned, then said, "Our mission is likely to fail."

Another person said, "Could it be because the threat from Professor Lu's side is greater?"

Liu Hong was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

Everyone immediately understood what he meant.

The reason Mr. Zhou didn't take action must be because he had calculated some result.

Otherwise, he should have already torn open the barrier and killed all of them first.

Liu Hong took a deep breath: "He might not be able to foresee everything either."

"Continue with the mission."

"We must find Jiang Chuan..."

"This is the core of our mission."

Upon hearing this, they immediately refocused and resumed their operations.

Using Song Guangrong's body as the center, the search for Jiang Chuan's whereabouts expands outwards.

……

Jiang Chuan is retracing his steps, shifting his route back to the west.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

They probably never imagined they would turn back.

Just now, he used his spatial abilities to extend the space where the mental-type level four armored warrior's upper and lower jaws were closed, prolonging his attempt to speak to the limit, preventing him from sending any information immediately. At the same time, Jiang Chuan also locked onto the level four armored warrior's location, rendering him unable to move…

The opponent's mental barrier was generated extremely quickly, his reaction speed was incredibly fast, but Jiang Chuan was not only good at extending space, but also at shortening it. Although the mental barrier that was hastily formed was strong, it could not be described as thick. Jiang Chuan successfully inserted the dagger into the top of his head...

The kill was accomplished.

This continuous use of spatial abilities, and even the nested use of spatial abilities, made Jiang Chuan's already weak body even more strained.

If it weren't for the drug sustaining him at the cost of draining his potential, he would have been dead by now.

I really don't know what my state will be like after the effects of the drug wear off, but it's already difficult enough to do this, so how can I calculate the consumption?
Jiang Chuan was unaware that those who were hunting him down did not actually intend to kill him...

Jiang Chuan, who was heading west, had no time to review the kill he had just made; he was thinking about something else entirely.

"That bolt of lightning just now..."

"who is it?"

"The legendary Mr. Zhou?"

I heard about Mr. Jia Zhou, who was in charge of the headquarters, from Fang Yi.

Although Jiang Chuan had never met Mr. Zhou, he could still sense the immense power contained within that lightning!
The appearance of this bolt of lightning gave Jiang Chuan hope.

Although I don't know why he suddenly left again, as long as I persevere, Mr. Zhou will definitely be able to break this deadlock!

"I will Survive……"

"I can't die here."

However, Jiang Chuan's pupils immediately contracted, as if he had seen something that surprised him.

As he sped along, the airflow at the tail of his exoskeleton abruptly stopped, replaced by a jet of air shooting out from the front, bringing his body to a standstill.

"Teacher Cao!?"

He saw Cao Zhigang fighting with another person.

The two fought fiercely, which made Jiang Chuan feel fortunate. Luckily, the fourth-ranked soldier he had just killed hadn't even had time to react before he was killed. Otherwise, with such intensity of combat, he would definitely be the one who died.

Now that he has discovered it, the outcome of Teacher Cao's match is already decided.

Jiang Chuan used his spatial abilities again without hesitation.

Luo Yufei, who was fighting Cao Zhigang, suddenly had his pupils contract slightly. He felt that his right fist was behaving strangely, as if it was much slower...

No, it's not just much slower, it's almost come to a standstill!

He stared in astonishment at his right fist, only to see it moving forward in the distorted space. Although its speed remained unchanged, it could not reach the end no matter what!
However, in such a confrontation, such a sudden change is certainly the key to victory or defeat!
Cao Zhigang's fist struck Luo Yufei's face without mercy.

This punch was so powerful that it knocked out several of Luo Yufei's teeth!
Although the kill wasn't achieved, the dizziness caused by that punch was enough to determine the outcome! In an instant, just an instant.

Jiang Chuan saw Cao Zhigang throw dozens of punches in succession, his arms almost leaving afterimages as he swung them, the sound of air being torn apart constantly booming, and one terrifying fist mark after another appeared on Luo Yufei's body.

At first, Luo Yufei managed to block a few punches haphazardly with his fighting spirit, but he quickly lost the ability to resist and was defeated.

Jiang Chuan didn't understand why Teacher Cao's opponent didn't use that drug.

But seeing that the man had lost his ability to move, Jiang Chuan also appeared and finally stood in front of Cao Zhigang.

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan appear, Cao Zhigang, who had been on guard just moments before, breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder.

"You boy!"

"Well done!"

He didn't care about Jiang Chuan's ashen face.

Looking at Luo Yufei, whose face was completely disfigured, Jiang Chuan asked in confusion, "How come he wasn't on drugs?"

Cao Zhigang shook his head: "Maybe it's because of a change of heart?"

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Can these lunatics really have a change of heart?"

Cao Zhigang said, "Actually, they are quite normal most of the time."

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment.

Then I remembered that these were all people who had fought alongside Teacher Cao.

Cao Zhigang said, "Tell me, what are your thoughts on the current situation?"

Jiang Chuan said, "Their target is me."

Cao Zhigang nodded and said, "That's quite obvious."

"So how do you plan to run away?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "Running like this won't last long, but I can't think of a good solution either."

Then, Jiang Chuan changed the subject: "Was that Mr. Zhou just now?"

Cao Zhigang nodded and said, "Yes."

Jiang Chuan then asked, "Why didn't he make a move?"

Cao Zhigang said, "He must have his reasons."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I even suspect that Lu Bin turned a blind eye to all these things he did."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback: "But this will kill a lot of people."

Cao Zhigang's expression was extremely solemn: "More people will die in the future."

"It's like..."

He pondered for a moment, then said, "It's like a railway track with one person on one side and five people on the other, and you..."

Jiang Chuan interrupted Cao Zhigang: "The trolley problem?"

Cao Zhigang laughed heartily: "Yes."

"It's the kind you're talking about."

"In Mr. Zhou's mind, he would certainly choose to save more people, right?"

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment: "So, in this situation, Mr. Zhou's goal is to expose Lu Bin, thereby avoiding greater casualties in the future?"

Cao Zhigang nodded: "Perhaps that's exactly right."

"But we can't fathom what he's thinking."

"Whatever he wants to do, there must be a reason."

Jiang Chuan had some other guesses in his mind, but he didn't tell Cao Zhigang.

Because he had more important questions to ask at that moment.

At that moment, Jiang Chuan asked Cao Zhigang, "Why did they arrest me?"

How could Cao Zhigang know the answer to this question?
However, there will always be someone who knows.

Cao Zhigang looked down at Luo Yufei; he was not dead, even though he was barely breathing.

Cao Zhigang squatted down, and it was somewhat difficult for this almost giant-like man to squat down.

He grabbed Luo Yufei by the collar and slapped him twice, waking him up.

Cao Zhigang asked, "Old Luo, why did you arrest Jiang Chuan?"

Luo Yufei opened his eyes groggily, looked at Cao Zhigang, and then at the young man standing next to Cao Zhigang.

But his vision was completely bloodshot, and he could barely see anything.

Luo Yufei asked, "You... are... Jiang Chuan?"

Jiang Chuan said, "I am not, I am Wu Zhen."

Luo Yufei paused for a moment, then gave a bitter laugh.

Cao Zhigang asked again, "Tell me quickly, why did you arrest Jiang Chuan?"

Luo Yufei was being shaken by Cao Zhigang, who was holding him by the collar. As blood splattered, he coughed and said:
"Ahem! Boss Cao, do you remember the question Xie Tianyu asked you?"

Cao Zhigang paused for a moment, then stopped shaking.

Luo Yufei continued, "According to... the information we have so far..."

"Jiang Chuan... might be some special... key."

"The key to unlocking all mysteries..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan felt a wave of bewilderment wash over him.

I'm an orphan. Although I do have some talent and am indeed a bit of a genius, to say I'm the key?
What do you want me to stab?
Cao Zhigang frowned: "Where did you get this information?"

Luo Yufei shook his head: "I...I don't know..."

"That's...Teacher Lu...Teacher Lu..."

“They told us.”

"It is related to the survival of humanity."

"I...the things we need to do..."

He paused here, then suddenly, as if he had made up his mind about something, his previously feeble tone became much smoother:
"It is for the survival of all mankind."

Jiang Chuan was stunned.

Is he about to destroy the world?

Cao Zhigang was even more baffled: "You're doing this for all of humanity? Just because of a little guy like Jiang Chuan?"

"I think you've been brainwashed to the point that you've lost all basic logic."

Luo Yufei then turned his head to look behind Cao Zhigang, and then looked at Jiang Chuan:
"Have you seen... anyone...?"

"Is anyone's ability related to space?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhigang's expression became somewhat solemn.

However, Jiang Chuan's expression changed instantly, not with seriousness, but with surprise and astonishment at suddenly realizing the threat!

"Quick, let's go! Teacher Cao!"

He knew it was me!

But at that moment, a sound came from the woods:

"You guessed it very quickly..."

"Unfortunately, it was still too late."

Liu Hong appeared in the woods to the east of Jiang Chuan and the other two.

As he appeared, more and more people also appeared from all directions on the east side.

The oppressive aura of more than a dozen Class A 4 soldiers instantly filled Jiang Chuan's entire body.

"Grass……"

He glanced at Luo Yufei, who lay in a pool of blood, his face showing a mixture of relief and satisfaction.

The manic state he experienced after taking the medication caused a surge of overwhelming anger within him.

Before Cao Zhigang could react, Jiang Chuan's mental energy had already condensed into a drill... smashing his head like a watermelon.
