I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 832 - 831: Escape

Although the two Xuan Talismans did not spontaneously combust, they succeeded in another way. The two talismans turned into powder and spread throughout the entire room. Jing Changle only heard a series of thudding sounds, and upon closer inspection, three men in white coats and two other men fell to the ground, unconscious!Jing Changle knew that these people became like this after inhaling the powder. The powder lingered in mid-air, and Jing Changle didn’t dare to stand up. Seeing Luo Yirui with white eyes turned upward, twitching slightly on the ground, he immediately crouched down, ran over, and dragged Luo Yirui away from this bloody room.

Jing Changle didn’t know what was going on, he only knew that it was Luo Yirui’s magical trick that created the powder and saved them.

Outside the room, Jing Changle stood up, carried Luo Yirui on his back, and ran out. In this critical moment, all his strength returned to his body, and he only thought about getting out of this terrifying hell at all costs.

He had no direction; this was a small three-story building, very small, surrounded by large tracts of forest, as if this small building had been forgotten, unknown to anyone.

Jing Changle randomly picked a direction and ran into the forest. For him, as long as he could leave that basement and that bloody room, he would be saved.

However, he quickly got lost in the forest.

Jing Changle ran for who knows how long, the surrounding scenery was mostly the same, just trees and low shrubs, with no sense of direction.

He placed Luo Yirui down. Seeing that his eyes were no longer white, but closed, he was now unconscious. Jing Changle was exceedingly anxious, not knowing how large this forest was, and whether Luo Yirui would die here if it went on like this.

It would be great if someone could help them!

With this thought, Jing Changle suddenly recalled what those people said. It seemed someone had intruded, appearing quite capable. If he could find those people, wouldn’t they be saved?

A child’s thinking is simple: those opposing these villains are good people!

Thinking this, Jing Changle no longer wandered about like a headless fly but consciously searched for human traces.

...

On the other side, Luo Xudong followed their trail all the way here. The previous task might have been just to find clues, but after his son was taken, the mission changed.

Actually, the Military Department knew that even if the task didn’t change, Luo Xudong wouldn’t have simply returned, so why not do him a favor, especially since it had gained two significant favors in return.

At one point during his pursuit, Luo Xudong lost direction, circling nearby for a whole day and night without finding new clues, until he bumped into two people fighting in a nearby village, finding a lead there.

It turned out that these two were fighting over a dollar bill. Someone used an odd-looking dollar bill to buy something, but the red dollar had the words ’Help!’ written in large characters on it.

The words were written in blood, which made the supply and marketing cooperative’s people find it unclean and refuse to accept it. The purchaser argued, is it money or not? If it is money, why not accept it?

This dollar was picked up nearby when no one was around to rescue, and the person picking it up felt somewhat ominous. However, a dollar then was still money, so throwing it away seemed wasteful. They decided to spend it at the nearby supply and marketing cooperative instead.

This argument was discovered by Luo Xudong’s men and reported to Luo Xudong.

When Luo Xudong arrived, the two were almost fighting over that dollar. Luo Xudong exchanged a dollar with it and asked where they found the bill.

Having received a new bill, that person happily explained.

Thus, Luo Xudong once again found a clue and followed it all the way here.

Thinking along these lines, Luo Xudong discovered that this area practiced a semi-military management style. This wasn’t entirely accurate, but their management level was close to that of the military!

Moreover, the guards outside were quite sophisticated, numerous as well, Luo Xudong and his group of seven observed for a long time without finding a breakthrough, especially due to some strange occurrences around the forest.

Sometimes a sudden mist would rise while walking, and sometimes they encountered swarms of bizarre insects attacking them. The biggest hassle was dealing with these insects.

Luo Xudong found these insects very troublesome; using fire was risky as it could ignite the forest, and weapons proved useless, wasting bullets. Luckily, he received orders from the Military Department—Mystic Doctors had been sent for support.

Luo Xudong knew these odd happenings were related to those Mystic Doctors. With their support, it was certainly more reassuring, though among them, he trusted only his wife.

Luo Xudong guessed his son was likely here. He considered breaking through by force, but he couldn’t gamble with the soldiers’ lives, so he patiently waited, finally welcoming Beisitian and the others.

Beisitian and others arrived together; most people came. They descended from a helicopter and plunged into battle, driving to this forest and starting to break through with Luo Xudong’s seven-person special operations team.

Leading the way were Beisitian and Qingyu’s people, followed by Chu Zhicheng and Lin Yunping, with the others trailing behind.

"Sister-in-law, just ahead is where the mist appears. Entering it easily causes disorientation, and inhaling it makes one dizzy," said Chen Jinliang.

This time, Luo Xudong had two deputies, one was Chen Jinliang, and the other Zhan Lanqi. Zhan Lanqi temporarily replaced Li Yunfeng, but due to prior incidents, Zhan Lanqi was disqualified from the operation, leaving only Chen Jinliang as deputy.

Those in front stopped simultaneously, not from Chen Jinliang’s warning, but because they found something.

This thing was a filamentous substance lying among the low bushes, resembling spider webs. Anyone unaware would mistake it for spider webs just by looking.

But the Mystic Doctors knew this filament was a refined drug highly sensitive to carbon dioxide. When the surrounding carbon dioxide increases, it transforms into large swathes of mist.

With more than three people moving nearby, the exhaled carbon dioxide would trigger the drug’s vaporization.

This mist is poisonous, not fatally, but it temporarily incapacitates individuals and significantly harms the body, with enduring effects, particularly noticeable in old age.

So excessive inhalation is akin to chronic suicide.

Lin Yunping proactively stepped forward to examine it and said, "We’re now in perilous circumstances; having too many concerns might be unwise. I, Lin, am not much, but I can now prepare an antidote for everyone."

His implication was intending to make talismans on the spot.

Though Lin Yunping’s character was arrogant, he was not without merits. For instance, at present, he knew when to set aside certain rules and constraints—it was impossible to make talismans in advance under such conditions.
