350: Chapter 347 The incident has ended.

Everyone looked at Zhou Sheng and then at Zhang Zhao. Seeing Zhang Zhao's grave expression, they immediately came to a judgment in their hearts, feeling somewhat astonished.

However, Chen Youcai got anxious and shouted at Zhou Sheng, "Old Zhang, even if you guessed right about this, what about me? How did I manage to survive? You can't possibly say it was because of an obsession too, right?"

Chen Youcai sneered inwardly. He was a carefree person, and everyone knew that.

Zhou Sheng glanced at him contemptuously, nodded, and said indifferently, "Correct. You indeed weren't driven by obsession; you were just afraid of death."

"People like you are the easiest to manipulate. As soon as I said something, you immediately chickened out."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Chen Youcai with strange expressions.

Come to think of it, it was true; Old Chen's wretched appearance just now was really something else.

Not only was he wearing a suit of bulletproof armor, but he was also crawling forward, epitomizing cowardice. Even so, this guy's luck was still terrible, and he still got shot.

"You..." Old Chen's face flushed red. He admitted that there was indeed an element of cowardice in his actions just now, but having it said out loud was just wrong.

"You were cowardly too, I saw it. You were even more cowardly than me."

"I killed people; you didn't kill a single one."

This...

In just one exchange, Old Chen was completely defeated.

Li Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle as he watched. He hadn't realized it before, but this Old Chen was quite the character.

"Since you're so good at fortune-telling, did you calculate when your own death date is?" Perhaps because his anger was rising, Old Chen pointed at Zhou Sheng and shouted angrily.

This once again piqued everyone's curiosity, because they all judged that this pill-popping maniac Zhou Sheng probably wouldn't live past forty.

As for his so-called Immortal Ascension and cultivating the Golden Core, it was all nonsense. Their eyes weren't blind; in Old Zhou's current state, he would probably just be heading to the afterlife soon.

"This Daoist cannot calculate it—not because I truly cannot, but because I must not. My lineage calculates for others and for heaven and earth, but we cannot calculate for ourselves."

"Moreover, I cultivate the Golden Core Dao; calculating it would be in vain. For those who attain Immortal Ascension, the secrets of heaven are unpredictable!"

Zhou Sheng shook his head and swayed, and as he spoke, he shakily took out another bright red pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the guy started meditating with his eyes closed, a serene smile appearing on his face, while he kept muttering all sorts of gibberish that left people confused.

Li Changsheng watched this eccentric man silently. For a moment, it was hard to guess whether he was a true expert with genuine skills, or a charlatan who half-guessed things by using a pair of eyes that could peer deep into the human heart.

After the bus drove into the city and circled a few more times, they split into several vehicles. It wasn't until nightfall that Li Changsheng finally returned to the Acupuncture Clinic stronghold, following Zhou Guoli.

At this moment, only he and Dr. Zhang were left there; the other Martial Masters were nowhere to be found, and he didn't know where they had been arranged.

"Captain Zhou, those people..."

"I knew you would ask. Don't worry, I've arranged for them to stay at other strongholds. You must understand that your status is different from theirs."

"However, when we return to the country later, you will see each other again. As for Dr. Zhang, I will arrange a separate channel for his return."

Zhou Guoli spoke and was the first to have Dr. Zhang settled into the Acupuncture Clinic. Two team members stayed almost right next to Dr. Zhang as they headed upstairs. Judging by the posture, it seemed likely these two would stay by Dr. Zhang's side the entire time they were here.

"Brother Li, there's no need for us to be formal. Make yourself at home."

Zhou Guoli smiled and walked into the shop on his own.

The Acupuncture Clinic was already closed, and the cars were parked near the back door. Seeing this, Li Changsheng shrugged indifferently and followed.

Old Zhou, that treacherous guy—anyway, he wouldn't be dealing with this guy again in the future.

What kind of simple mission was that? It was clearly a Hell-level mission.

If it had been anyone else at Genentech, they would have only been able to obediently become a research specimen.

Upon returning to the Acupuncture Clinic, the first person to feel excited about Li Changsheng's appearance was Old Ma, the cook.

Oh, that's not right; Old Ma was originally a member of the action team, but that didn't matter now. He had once again become Li Changsheng's exclusive cook.

Perhaps because the energy expenditure today was truly excessive, the kitchen in the Acupuncture Clinic didn't stop all night long.

The clanging sound of spatulas hitting pots was incessant, accompanied by bursts of beast-like tearing and chewing sounds that made one's hair stand on end.

"Brother Ma! Brother Ma! Hurry! It's all eaten again!"

"Brother Ma! Brother Ma! I've purchased another ten kilograms of beef!"

"Brother Ma, the fruits and vegetables in the storage room aren't enough. I'm going to check the market!"

Listening to the voices of the team members coming over the walkie-talkie, Old Ma, who had a square face and a powerful build, looked haggard.

"What a sin!"

——

Meanwhile, following the escape amidst the chaos caused by Li Changsheng and his group, and until half an hour after Li Changsheng had gotten far away, after Zhou Guoli's team retreated in an organized manner, Genentech quickly resumed normal operations.

However, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

From time to time, one could see corpses being carried out from the B-block underground research base. Many armed personnel in the vicinity remained fully armed and highly vigilant, fearing another such riot.

As the corpses were carried out one by one, very quickly, no fewer than hundreds of bodies were tallied.

"Shit! I heard that a large portion of these were killed by one madman. I was training at the camp before; is this really not a joke?"

"One person?"

The group of armed personnel discussed among themselves. Even though they were standing straight, they couldn't control their gossiping mouths; the incident this time had simply caused too much of a stir.

"Right! I heard it was initially caused by just one person. The higher-ups are still tallying the losses now, according to a description from a buddy of mine who works in the underground base."

"It seems a test subject went out of control—apparently the most important test subject in the base. He was just like the Governor from the movie Terminator. Seriously, I feel like this is too crazy."

Listening to the discussions of these colleagues, Silk, who was nearby, had a strange expression on his face.

Could it really be that demon?

Thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Hey, guys, I was on duty at the A-block office building just now, so I don't know about everything that just happened. The guy you're talking about, that out-of-control test subject, is he an Asian?"

Upon hearing this, several colleagues turned to look at him, their expressions somewhat strange.

"Silk, right?" One of the white companions looked at Silk's name tag and then said indifferently, "The out-of-control test subject was indeed an Asian. It's said that in the underground base, he killed at least six combat squads all by himself."

"You're lucky, and I'm also lucky that I wasn't in the underground base at the time. Otherwise, it's very likely we would have ended up like him..."

As he spoke, the white companion gestured with his eyes.

In the distance, they saw a man in a suit, covered in snot and looking disheveled, being dragged out of the B-block research building by two armed personnel.

"This person is Merk, originally our security supervisor. God, you wouldn't believe what he was doing at the time. Looking at him now, I guess the drugs haven't worn off yet."

"I heard it was him who caused a demon to completely lose control. I think his fate will be extremely miserable."

The companion spoke, but Silk's mind was a mess. He could now be one hundred percent certain that the source of this incident and the demon that had made him so miserable last time were one and the same!
