I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Dream on!" Lin Chen suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the nearest protective suit personnel.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and before the other party could react, he had already snatched the instrument from his hand. It was an electric shock device, specially used to subdue experimental subjects.

"Catch him!" Manager Zhang shouted.

But Lin Chen's skills far surpassed those of ordinary people. He shuttled through the crowd, and several personnel in protective suits could not catch him at all. Seeing this, Wang Zhiyuan also began to resist. Although he was old, he was still agile.

The other Chinese medicine practitioners finally reacted and joined the resistance.

"Open the door!" Lin Chen rushed to the control console, but found that a password was required.

"What's the password?" he grabbed a staff member.

"I...I don't know..." the other party trembled with fear.

"You won't tell me, right?" Lin Chen picked up the stun gun. "Do you want to try this thing?"

"No! No! The password is HT2024!"

Lin Chen quickly entered the password and the door slowly opened.

"Let's go!" he shouted and rushed out first.

Wang Zhiyuan and several young Chinese medicine practitioners followed closely behind, but some older Chinese medicine practitioners had difficulty moving and were caught by the personnel in protective suits.

"Save us!" they cried desperately.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and looked back, but he was in danger now, so he could only escape first.

The group rushed out of the building and found that they were surrounded. Dozens of armed men were waiting for them with guns drawn.

"Surrender! You can't escape," Manager Zhang's voice boomed over the loudspeaker. "There's no land within dozens of miles of this island. Where can you escape to?"

Lin Chen looked around and found that it was indeed as Manager Zhang said, this was an isolated island and all the ships were under control.

"What should we do?" a Chinese medicine practitioner asked in despair.

"Let's find a place to hide first," Wang Zhiyuan said. "This island isn't big, but the terrain is complex. We can use it to our advantage."

The group ran deeper into the island, with Lin Chen running in the front, as he had the best physical strength and the sharpest sense of danger.

Soon, they came to a dense forest, where the trees were thick and thick, allowing them to hide temporarily.

"We can't stop, they'll catch up soon." Lin Chen said, "We have to find a way to contact the outside world."

"All the communication equipment has been taken away." Wang Zhiyuan shook his head, "and the signal here is blocked."

At this moment, Lin Chen heard the sound of helicopters. He looked up and saw three armed helicopters circling overhead, apparently searching for them.

"Separate our forces!" Lin Chen made a prompt decision. "This way we'll be less of a target."

"No, we have to act together," Wang Zhiyuan insisted. "If we separate, we'll be more easily defeated one by one."

Lin Chen thought about it and felt that it made sense. But the current situation was indeed very dangerous. How could these unarmed traditional Chinese medicine practitioners possibly deal with a fully armed enemy?

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

"Doctor Wang, you just said these toxins were developed based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theories?"

"Yes, judging by the symptoms of those patients, it is indeed targeting the meridian system." Wang Zhiyuan nodded. "These people have a deep understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"Then can we take advantage of this?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed. "Since they use traditional Chinese medicine theory to create toxins, we can also use traditional Chinese medicine theory to deal with them."

Wang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lin Chen meant: "You mean..."

"Yes, fight poison with poison!" Lin Chen said, "There must be a laboratory on this island with various toxin samples. We can find a way to obtain some, and then..."

"This is too dangerous!" a Chinese medicine practitioner exclaimed, "We're not secret agents, how can we possibly sneak into the lab?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Lin Chen said, "It's better than just sitting there and waiting for death."

Even as they were discussing this, the search party was getting closer and closer, and through the gaps in the leaves, they could see the flashes of flashlights.

"Let's go!" Lin Chen whispered.

The group continued to go deeper into the dense forest. But the island was so small that they would be found sooner or later.

Suddenly, Lin Chen discovered a cave in front of him.

"Here!" he called out to everyone.

The cave wasn't big, but it was big enough for several of them to hide. More importantly, the entrance was obscured by vines, making it difficult to find without careful observation.

Everyone went into the cave and was finally safe for a while.

"What should we do now?" someone asked.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go to the lab and take a look. You guys wait here."

"It's too dangerous!" Wang Zhiyuan shook his head, "I'll go with you."

"No, you're old and can't move around easily," Lin Chen insisted. "Besides, if you're too many, you'll be a big target and easily exposed."

After some debate, it was finally decided that Lin Chen would go alone to investigate the situation.

As night fell, Lin Chen quietly left the cave and, using the moonlight, groped his way towards the laboratory building.

The island's security was indeed tight, with patrols everywhere, but Lin Chen, having grown up in the mountains, was very familiar with the terrain and quickly found a safe route.

The lights in the laboratory building were bright, and it was obvious that someone was still working inside. Lin Chen found a ventilation hole and climbed in carefully.

He passed through the ventilation duct and came to the top of the laboratory. Through the ventilation grille, he could see what was happening below.

There were more than a dozen researchers in the lab, busy with various instruments. On the lab bench were numerous test tubes and petri dishes filled with liquids of various colors.

"How about the new toxin sample?" a voice asked.

"The results are very good. Based on the treatment responses of those Chinese medicine practitioners, we have found several key acupuncture points." Another person replied, "If we can find a few more high-level Chinese medicine practitioners..."

Lin Chen felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. These people really used traditional Chinese medicine as a tool to research biological weapons.

He continued to observe, hoping to find an antidote or a recipe for the poison, but the information was kept strictly confidential and difficult to obtain.

Just then, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened and Manager Zhang walked in.

"Have those escaped traditional Chinese medicine practitioners been found?" he asked.

"Not yet, but the island is so small, they can't get far."

"Find them as soon as possible!" Manager Zhang said sternly, "Especially that one named Lin Chen. His medical skills are very advanced and very valuable to our research."

Lin Chen's heart moved. It seemed that he had become the focus of attention.

"We can't let Wang Zhiyuan go either. He is the heir of the Wang family and masters many lost medical skills." Manager Zhang continued.

Heir of the Wang family? Only then did Lin Chen realize that Wang Zhiyuan's identity was not simple.

Just then, the ventilation grille suddenly loosened and made a slight noise.

The people in the laboratory became alert instantly.

"There's a sound up there!"

"Go and have a look!"

Lin Chen knew he was exposed and quickly crawled back the way he came. However, the ventilation duct was narrow and movement was inconvenient, so he was soon discovered.

"In the ventilation duct!"

"catch him!"

Lin Chen crawled desperately, but there was a crashing sound behind him. Apparently someone was dismantling the ventilation duct.
