Chapter 256 The Returning Person
"Is it because those who are struck by the wrathful god will eventually die in the slaughter?"
After hearing what Professor Kang said, Qiao Yu suddenly asked.
"Yes." Professor Kang nodded.
"At least from the information we've got so far, those who have been struck by the God of Fury will continue fighting even after defeating their enemies, fighting non-stop until they're exhausted to death."
That's why he said it is both time-sensitive and no longer applicable.
Because for those who are possessed by the wrathful god, the statute of limitations is their life span.
"But actually, if you put it this way, several other medicines can also be said to have time limits." Yu Qingchuan thought for a while and spoke.
"Hmm?" Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, a complex look flashing across his eyes. "Could it be that those medicines will also affect the lifespan of those who take Chinese medicine?"
"That's right." This time it was Professor Shen who spoke.
"Any of these medicines will cause harm to the body of the Chinese medicine user."
"It's just that compared to the God of Fury, the consumption rate is not as fast."
Qiao Yu suddenly thought of Man Man who was still in a coma, "If the antidote is used, will there be any side effects?"
"It's not clear yet." Professor Kang pursed his lips. "The specific situation will only be known after we find the mutant plant corresponding to the main ingredient and study the specific detoxification plan."
"Okay. Then I'll leave it to the two professors." Qiao Yu stood up and bowed solemnly to Professor Kang and Professor Shen.
Professor Kang and Professor Shen waved their hands hurriedly upon seeing this, "Don't be so polite to us, kid."
"Then Old Shen and I will go back first. It's still early and we have some equipment in the car that we can study a little bit."
"Don't." Cheng Sinian suddenly called out to Professor Kang and Professor Shen as they were about to leave. "There are too many people in the team right now, and too many interested parties. Let's stop researching."
"It would be bad if we were targeted."
Qiao Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we are still outside at the moment, so there is no need to be so anxious."
"You two can preserve the plants first and study them after returning to the base."
"Okay." Professor Kang nodded. "Then let's go back and save it and talk about it later."
After Professors Kang and Shen left, the carriage fell into silence.
The expressions of Qiao Yu and the others were a little heavy.
Although it was now almost certain that one of the plants that provided the medicine had been found, no one was happy.
Qiao Yu only felt that there were more and more mysteries before him, but they still had no clue.
But fortunately, the person behind the scenes probably doesn't know yet that they have discovered the drug.
Otherwise, with this person's caution and planning, he would not have used the drug so boldly in front of them when he knew that the drug had been exposed.
"I don't think things will be peaceful these next two days," Qiao Yu said solemnly, "Everyone, be careful and be on guard against any possible danger."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded silently.
--
However, in the next two days, although Qiao Yu and his companions were worried the whole time and kept an eye on the safety of Professor Kang and Professor Shen, the journey was surprisingly smooth.
But the smoother things went, the more nervous Qiao Yu and the others became.
After all, the most reasonable possibility they could think of was that the person behind the scenes wanted to attack the researcher.
Cheng Sinian is worried every day, and whenever there is any sign of trouble, he asks Jiang Zhan to check on Professor Kang's situation.
Not only did this make Jiang Zhan extremely annoyed, he was almost suffering from a nervous breakdown.
Just when Qiao Yu was wondering if Cheng Sinian would become a psychopath if he continued like this, some unusual undercurrents finally appeared in the team.
That morning, just as the convoy was about to set off, Chu Yi discovered that some mercenaries were missing from the team.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that Chu Yi had not yet given the order to depart, Yan Zijin got out of the car and walked over to ask.
Chu Yi's face was gloomy, and his voice became tense. "The team is missing five mercenaries."
"When did it happen?" Yan Zijin frowned when he heard that.
"No one has seen them since we woke up this morning." Chu Yi's face became increasingly grim. "I heard from other mercenaries that they went to sleep together last night, but when we woke up this morning, they were nowhere to be seen."
"Didn't anyone hear any noise last night?"
Chu Yi shook his head solemnly. If someone had heard any sound, he wouldn't be so worried.
Seeing this, Yan Zijin's expression became a little subtle.
There are so many mercenaries in the convoy, all sleeping together. How could five of them disappear inexplicably without anyone noticing?
"What's going on? Captain Yan, Colonel Chu?"
Qiao Yu and the others also noticed something was wrong, and Cheng Sinian volunteered to come over and ask.
"It's okay. There are a few soldiers missing from the team. They might have gone out to play in the middle of the night when I wasn't paying attention." Chu Yi thought about it and decided that he couldn't let a few mercenaries delay everyone's progress. So he pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "I'm so sorry, it's my fault for not being strict with my subordinates. I made you laugh at me."
"Don't worry about them, let's go now."
When Cheng Sinian heard this, his face froze and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he didn't say much on the surface. He just nodded, turned around and went back to inform Qiao Yu and others of the situation.
"Brother Zhan, is there any problem with my teacher?"
When Jiang Zhan heard what Cheng Sinian said, his face turned a little ugly.
Does Cheng Sinian think he is as unreliable as him?
If there is something, just tell him. He is so noisy.
But even though he was dissatisfied, Jiang Zhan pursed his lips and said solemnly, "No."
"That's good, that's good..." Cheng Sinian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
"But the five missing mercenaries..."
Yu Qingchuan frowned, and before he could finish his words, he heard a loud noise coming from Chu Yi's side.
"What's going on?" Qiao Yu and the others paused slightly.
"The five mercenaries are back." Jiang Zhan replied.
But after a while, Jiang Zhan's eyes suddenly became stern, and he stood up, "Hurry and go to Professor Kang and Professor Shen!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian ran out of the car without saying a word.
At this time, Wang Zha, who had been perched on the roof of the car, suddenly jumped down, stood in front of the car, and began to sound a warning with a "woohoo" sound.
The next second, a louder noise suddenly broke out from the crowd.
"Ah—Guo Bao, are you crazy?! You actually hit me!"
"Ah—quick! Take him away!"
“Help—help—”
Qiao Yu and his companions got out of the car and saw at a glance the five mercenaries who had disappeared inexplicably and suddenly returned in the crowd. Their eyes were red and they were frantically attacking their former comrades around them.
"It's the God of Wrath!" Qiao Yu said with a gloomy face.
