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

Liu Hong died a quick and painless death. Jiang Chuan did not, as Cao Zhigang had imagined, use any strange methods to conduct some indescribable trial.

But in the end, nothing was left behind.

They died too quickly. The things Cao Zhigang wanted to know, the things they needed to know, vanished with the deaths of these dozen or so people.

Now, on this battlefield filled with scorched earth, only the master and his apprentice remained.

But... what exactly is the situation in Jiangchuan now?
When Cao Zhigang faced this problem...

He didn't hesitate at all.

"Jiang Chuan! How are you!?"

He clutched his stomach, but blood was still seeping from between his fingers. However, he paid no heed to it and staggered toward Jiang Chuan.

But after only a few steps, Jiang Chuan grabbed her arm.

"Teacher, how are you?"

Jiang Chuan's calm voice rang in Cao Zhigang's ears, but there was a strange sense of distance between them.

Cao Zhigang looked up at Jiang Chuan in surprise, and upon hearing his words, he also felt something was off.

But he immediately replied:

"I'm fine. I'm not going to die yet."

Cao Zhigang first answered Jiang Chuan's question, and then said, "You're too reckless."

"If we kill them all, who will we be able to get the questions out of us?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head, about to say something, but before he could speak, he suddenly coughed.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The cough sounded like a broken bellows, as if it belonged to a patient who had suffered from tuberculosis for ten years.

Moreover, the more he coughed, the worse it got. Jiang Chuan covered his mouth with his free hand, and when the coughing stopped, he even coughed up blood.

At that moment, Cao Zhi suddenly understood why Jiang Chuan was so determined to kill all his opponents...

Although his strength at this moment was comparable to that of a top-tier fighter, Jiang Chuan did not unleash any wide-range, lethal moves similar to those of a top-tier fighter.

At this moment, recalling the battle Jiang Chuan had just fought, Cao Zhigang instantly understood.

Even his final killing move was a borrowing of his opponent's attack...

No wonder Jiang Chuan wanted to kill them all...

It seems invincible, but it still consumes a huge amount of resources.

The seemingly relaxed and carefree demeanor just now was actually a way to provoke Liu Hong and his men to attack with all their might.

Thinking about this, Cao Zhigang couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Chuan's performance at that moment.

It's important to understand that once Liu Hong's outward strength is revealed to be merely a facade, and he's already at his limit, given his cautious nature, he will inevitably drag things out until Jiang Chuan is exhausted. At that point, Jiang Chuan's plan to annihilate his opponent will be impossible…

at this time.

Jiang Chuan spoke up:

"The current situation is still too bad."

"However, if it weren't for this situation... I wouldn't be able to meet you in this state."

"It really is……"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Blood trickled from the corner of Jiang Chuan's mouth as he looked at Cao Zhigang, but a smile appeared on his lips.

His expression was somewhat wistful. Cao Zhigang wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Jiang Chuan before he could even open his mouth:
"Time is short, Teacher Cao, I'll get to the point."

Cao Zhigang was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

Jiang Chuan continued:
"My trump card, you're the only one who knows it now, so don't tell anyone else."

"Whether it's Li Yu or Li Yi..."

Even myself.

"Don't say anything."

Upon hearing these words, Cao Zhigang's pupils contracted slightly.

Although Jiang Chuan's voice was weak, he spoke very quickly.

"Getting this far has already exceeded expectations."

"I also want to see how far I can go with my own abilities."

"Teacher, it's so nice to meet you at this time..."

"I'm really happy."

As he spoke, Cao Zhigang felt a tightness in his chest.

The way he looked at Jiang Chuan was as if he saw endless weariness.

It seems to have witnessed the vicissitudes of life...

That feeling is really hard to describe.

At the same time, he could also see that Jiang Chuan's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and even his originally very fast speaking speed had slowed down.

But he seemed to have a lot to say:

"Don't go after March..."

"Don't go to the First Emperor's Mausoleum..."

"Stop him, Brother Li..."

"must……"

"You absolutely must not go."

Cao Zhigang was stunned: "The First Emperor's Mausoleum!?"

Cao Zhigang wanted to ask, but Jiang Chuan seemed not to hear him and continued talking to himself:

"Lu Bin, you want to take me away..."

"Let him take it away..."

"Don't fight him... Live, live..."

"The performance... is somewhat convincing."

Cao Zhigang was stunned; the amount of information was too much, leaving him momentarily dazed.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan had already closed his eyes. The hand that was supporting him fell down, and his body went limp, collapsing into Cao Zhigang's arms.

"This...this...this...?"

"Make the performance more convincing?"

"what's going on?"

"Lu Bin? Lu Bin has already arrived in Yanshan?"

"Is Liu Hong not the only one here?"

What is the meaning of "Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum"?

But Cao Zhigang didn't have time to think. He struggled to carry Jiang Chuan on his back and staggered as he tried to leave, but after taking two steps he collapsed and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn...does this even need acting?"

"..."

"Don't fight Lu Bin to the death?"

"In my current state, Lu Bin could kill me with a snap of his fingers..."

He lay on the ground, feeling a bit cold.

In reality, such a penetrating wound would have killed most people long ago. The fact that Cao Zhigang is still alive only shows that Jia Si's vitality is indeed strong.

However, just when he thought he wouldn't be able to follow Jiang Chuan's instructions, he sighed and blew away the weeds on the ground.

Among the weeds, he saw a dark, round sphere.

In that instant, Cao Zhigang suddenly felt a sense of destiny surrounding him.

He was very familiar with this little round ball.

then……

This is what Guo Wenjie eats.

"walk slowly."

He paused for a moment, then grabbed the pill in his hand, chewed it, and swallowed it.

After all, his lower abdomen had been pierced, so he had to consider digestion.

The bitterness and fishy smell that came out when he chewed filled his mouth, making Cao Zhigang frown as he ate.

Fortunately, the feared inability to digest the drug's effects didn't materialize. Not only that, Cao Zhigang could even feel his body rapidly recovering; even his severed intestines seemed to be healing, and his severed arm had regained some mobility. Cao Zhigang, of course, was unaware that the drug had been improved, undergoing several iterations compared to the potent drug Guo Wenjie had taken. Currently, thanks to the vampire test subject, the drug not only enhanced the user's strength but also repaired the body while taking effect.

Of course, this also depends on the severity of the injury...

However, because of the overall increase in strength, the drug's original effect of enhancing strength weakened, naturally resulting in fewer side effects. Therefore, although Cao Zhigang regained his mobility, his strength was not significantly enhanced.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhigang suddenly realized that perhaps this was one of the reasons why Jiang Chuan killed them all.

The answer is currently unknown.

But considering the current situation, this is already quite a wonderful thing.

Cao Zhigang hoisted Jiang Chuan back onto his back and rushed into the depths of the forest.

"Although the area within the barrier isn't large, it shouldn't be a problem for the two of us to hide inside..."

"Although Lu Bin is only a second-class student, he shouldn't be able to find our trail."

"..."

While thinking this way...

Cao Zhigang's face suddenly darkened.

"?"

His body, which had been moving at high speed, suddenly stopped, and then he looked behind him.

A figure was rapidly approaching him.

Cao Zhigang's speed couldn't go any faster; his opponent's speed far exceeded his, and the distance was closing at a visible rate.

That's a Class A2 after all.

The visitor was none other than Lu Bin.

For a moment, Cao Zhigang was somewhat surprised.

"How did you find me?"

But he immediately realized:

"..."

"drug?"

Cao Zhigang quickly realized the reason.

At the same time, he also recalled a lot of information related to Lu Bin.

Lu Bin... Awakened memories are of a physician from the Spring and Autumn Period.

However, the name of the memory he awakened was not recorded in historical records.

Even though there are no records of him and he is not as famous as renowned doctors like Bian Que and Hua Tuo, his medical skills and research on human anatomy are quite remarkable. Before being recruited into the institution, he was already a well-known figure in the medical field in China.

This can be seen from the drugs he used and the experiments he was in charge of.

However, Cao Zhigang could not confirm whether the awakened memories he publicly shared were genuine.

After all, how can a doctor possess the skills of a Class II physician?

Normally, even if people suspect something, no one would take it seriously, since such seemingly abnormal situations have actually become the norm.

Especially those who became part of the organization in its early days, since they were all recruited by Mr. Zhou, their authenticity is generally not a concern...

However, what Lu Bin is doing now, and the people who died because of this chaos... made Cao Zhigang think of many things in that instant.

However, he quickly dismissed these thoughts.

Another question quickly popped into my mind:
How should I act?

Cao Zhigang quickly remembered what Jiang Chuan had just told him.

Although I don't understand why Jiang Chuan was arrested, judging from his behavior, he must have learned more about the situation to have said such a thing.

So Cao Zhigang didn't think about anything else, he just felt that this "acting" was a bit complicated for him.

"Don't risk your life..."

"Does that mean we shouldn't let Lu Bin realize that Jiang Chuan voluntarily chose to be arrested?"

“But Lu Bin isn’t stupid. If he doesn’t fight desperately, he’ll definitely notice something’s wrong.”

"..."

At this moment, Lu Bin had already arrived not far from Cao Zhigang and stood still.

Cao Zhi was about to say something, but before he could speak, Lu Bin's gloomy voice rang out:
"Liu Hong and the others...are they all dead?"

"you?"

"Cao Zhigang, did you kill him?"

Cao Zhigang's expression remained unchanged, but he did not speak.

He hadn't expected Lu Bin to raise this question.

Indeed... there were fifteen Class 4 students and one Class 3 student.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to survive, let alone save Jiang Chuan.

Lu Bin frowned and looked at his shoulder.

"It's him?"

Cao Zhigang remained silent, only saying, "Don't even think about taking my student away."

At that moment, he understood.

No matter what, he was no match for Lu Bin; whether he fought desperately or not, he was certain he couldn't win.

So what we need to do now... is take the risk.

It's about showing the truth: you'd rather die than not help your students.

He silently clenched his fist.

The meaning of adventure lies in not knowing what the outcome will be.

Lu Bin's expression remained unchanged upon hearing Cao Zhigang's words, but he simultaneously said, "I don't have time to waste."

As he spoke, he had already made his move.

A dark shadow appeared in front of Cao Zhigang in an instant. The speed was so fast that Cao Zhigang's pupils contracted slightly.

However, Cao Zhigang reacted immediately, crossing his arms in front of his chest in an attempt to block Lu Binyin's palm strike.

But Lu Binyin's hand quickly changed, leaving only his index finger pointing at Cao Zhigang's chest.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Even if Cao Zhigang realized this, he had no time to react.

At that instant, Cao Zhigang's four eyes burst forth with light once again!

He neither dodged nor avoided the blow, letting the finger pierce his chest!
Lu Bin was somewhat surprised, a hint of astonishment in his eyes, but immediately, Cao Zhigang's hand had already gripped his right wrist tightly.

Not only his hands, but also the muscles and bones in his chest worked together to prevent Lu Bin from pulling his fingers out!

"you……"

Lu Bin was about to say something, but Cao Zhigang's other hand had already slammed down hard on Lu Bin's head!

boom!
Lu Bin's brain took a solid hit from this hand chop that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!

Cao Zhigang did not stop. Taking advantage of this moment, his arms launched an attack on Lu Bin like a storm!

Even Lu Bin, a second-class player, was stunned by the relentless barrage of attacks.

A wave of dizziness washed over him, and he even felt that if Cao Zhigang continued to beat him like this...

This might really be bad.

"enough!!"

An angry roar rang out, and Lu Bin unleashed a powerful aura. His body, which could have been described as withered, suddenly swelled up!
His clothes ripped, revealing his bluish-gray skin.

With a blue face and fangs, his pupils disappeared from the whites of his eyes, revealing a terrifying pure white.

Cao Zhigang's attack was instantly thwarted by Lu Bin's sudden change.

Moreover, he could no longer hold onto that hand, and the fingers that were swelling inside his chest were forced out.

Cao Zhigang stared in astonishment at his opponent.

It seems I saw Guo Wenjie from that day.

Although it was already known that Guo Wenjie's drugs, including those drugs used by the kids in Gan City, came from Lu Bin...

But unexpectedly, this blue-faced, fanged creature, resembling a demon from hell, actually originated from Lu Bin!?

Cao Zhigang knew very well that Lu Bin had not taken his medication.

That is to say...

He's the source of this drug!? (End of Chapter)
