A month’s time can mean different things to different people, but for these individuals, a month felt far too short. Zhang Fusheng was simply too powerful, strong enough that the others had little confidence in their ability to confront him. With this thought in mind, Wang Chao said, “Liu Jie sacrificed himself honorably in the battle against the Zombie, but we cannot let this matter rest. Previously, I had you and him handle this together. Do you know how things are progressing?”
Tang Feng nodded, pondering for a moment before replying, “I am overseeing this matter, with Liu Jie executing it. Although I don’t understand all the specific details, I have a general idea. We selected over a thousand Golden Level team members, almost all elite fighters, and sent them into the Lost Land you mentioned. Six months later, half of them should awaken—about five hundred people. Among these five hundred, three hundred have physical abilities suitable for modification. They should still be beneath Jing City; I’m not sure when they will complete the process. Gao Rui is handling this.”
Wang Chao nodded. Ever since he learned that the Zhang Family had a final trump card in their special forces, he had been troubled by it. Especially after discovering Zhang Fusheng's changes, he began planning accordingly. He secretly ordered Liu Jie and Tang Feng to create a team capable of resisting Zhang Fusheng’s Avengers Alliance members. Now it seemed that this plan was not yet complete, and Wang Chao was uncertain whether it could be finished within a month.
In this operation, women naturally could not participate, and Wang Chao would not allow it. That left only Tang Feng Da Qiang and Zhuang Peng along with himself; the four of them together might barely manage to deal with Zhang Fusheng. As for the members of the Avengers Alliance, they would need those modified warriors to confront them. However, no one could guarantee that this plan could be completed within a month.
Time was of the essence; Wang Chao knew he could not delay any longer. He found Gao Rui to inquire about the success of the super soldier program. Gao Rui had been overwhelmed lately; ever since returning from that mysterious island, he had thrown himself into researching the Zombie Virus. The super soldier program was progressing slowly, to the point where he almost forgot about it.
Gao Rui glanced at his notes and said, “The plan should still be underway. When the Zombies surrounded Jing City, I set the device to automatic control. If they awaken, they should come out on their own. But judging by the current situation, they likely haven’t succeeded yet. Each person has different physical qualities and varying times for modification; they will probably awaken one by one. The exact timing depends on them.”
“Within a month, send out as many as awaken,” Wang Chao instructed. “Zhang Fusheng has arranged to meet me at the square in the small city in a month; Yang Mengying will be there. If I miss this appointment…” Wang Chao rubbed his temples, clearly troubled by this matter before continuing, “During this time, I also need to go into seclusion. Xiaocao’s notes contain many techniques that I haven’t fully explored yet. Tang Feng and Da Qiang also need to go to the Lost Land…”
“Is now really a suitable time? You must understand that in the Lost Land, one can become utterly lost without any sense of time. The cycle of experiences there can feel like mere moments while an entire year passes outside—didn’t you also wake up several months later when you were trapped there?” Gao Rui expressed his concerns. “If they haven’t awakened after a month, won’t you be left to face Zhang Fusheng alone?”
Wang Chao nodded; he understood Gao Rui’s worries well. It was true that if none of them awoke after a month, he would lose three highly skilled allies. However, he also realized that if their combined strength didn’t increase significantly before then, they would still lack even a fifty percent chance against Zhang Fusheng.
In essence, Wang Chao was gambling; losing meant risking everyone’s lives. Yet he had no other options left.
Gao Rui understood the gravity of the situation—it was indeed a dilemma with no easy way out. Wang Chao nodded again and continued speaking: “In that case, I’ll leave the remaining matters to you to resolve. The research on the Zombie Virus must continue; remember to ensure the safety of those super soldiers who haven’t awakened yet. Having entered Lost Land once already means I won’t get lost again; I will guarantee their safety. Inform Shen Zhitao and Xiao Wei that while we’re away, they must take on this responsibility.”
Gao Rui nodded and patted Wang Chao on the shoulder. Things had reached this point—there was no turning back now. A month from now would determine these individuals' fates and shape China’s future as well. If Zhang Fusheng won, no one would be able to oppose him anymore; at that point, destroying China would be effortless for him. If Wang Chao emerged victorious, then there would still be hope for China’s future.
No one had anticipated that this matter, so crucial to Huaxia, was truly understood by only a few present. At this moment, the people were still trapped in the dire situation surrounded by zombies, and in the future, when they recalled this day, they would inevitably sigh. Wang Chao knew that Zhang Yunhao had quietly resolved a global nuclear crisis a hundred years ago, inadvertently saving Huaxia and the lives of over a billion people. Yet, as history rolled on and fate continued its course, today, this historical responsibility fell squarely on Wang Chao's shoulders.
And the one who sought to destroy Huaxia was none other than the grandson of the man who had saved it.
Without bidding farewell to anyone—parting was always sorrowful, especially after discussing this matter with Shen Zhitao, Wu Wan'er, and others—Wang Chao was uncertain if he could leave so easily. After saying goodbye to Gao Rui, the four of them did not even take a plane; they headed directly toward the Lost Land outside Jing City. The last time they came here, the sheer cliff had nearly cost Wang Chao his life, but now it seemed that was hardly an obstacle.
"Although it's strange down there, there are no fierce beasts or poisonous insects. And with me around, you don't need to worry!" Wang Chao glanced at the mist rising below and continued, "However, once you go down, you will face your Inner Demon, losing yourself and struggling to distinguish between reality and illusion, unable to grasp the passage of time. But as long as you can conquer yourselves, your strength will increase significantly!"
"Now, let's each strive forward!" With that, Wang Chao took the lead and jumped down.
