Free Web NovelChapter 1252: Chapter 1251: Awakening
Immediately, the Swordmaster set off.
As for how the great leader would arrange things, everyone was fully aware.
All that was left for them was to wait.
Tonight, the entire Penglai Island seemed unusually quiet.
They say the calm before a storm is the most terrifying, but the calm on the eve of victory also keeps one on edge.
Ye Liangcai, the great leader, Elder Zhuo, and Qin Zhiyuan, the four of them sat in a room drinking tea and playing chess, unable to sleep.
Meng Po, Purple Cultivator, Sun Yue... they stood on the pavilion, watching the distant specks of light on the sea, their eyes flickering.
This night was destined to be sleepless.
...
The next day.
In the early morning hours.
Meng Po and others gathered at the harbor.
They received the news that the Swordmaster had already entered the fog zone.
Everyone was anxiously waiting.
About half an hour later.
The distant lights of a ship grew brighter; its outline becoming clearer and drawing closer.
Seeing the ship, everyone became more nervous.
Soon, the ship docked, and the Swordmaster disembarked first.
The others rushed aboard to check.
It wasn’t that they didn’t trust the Swordmaster, but they had to prevent any suspicious occurrences just in case.
The Swordmaster didn’t mind at all, walked over, and said to everyone: "The results are out; I’ve copied everything onto a hard drive, and the experiment went well!"
Professor Qian took the hard drive and, without saying much, turned to leave.
Everyone followed quickly.
They arrived at the laboratory.
Professor Qian connected the hard drive, opened the video files within, and projected them onto ten screens.
With high-definition cameras and displays, even the pores of the experiment personnel were clearly visible.
At the same time, the data from the monitoring equipment was also crystal clear.
Professor Qian and his team stared intensely at the video content and nervously at the experimental instruments.
The experiment began...
...
The final result... out of ten test subjects, nine were successfully detoxified, one died unexpectedly.
In any other situation, this would be the best outcome!
But for them right now, it was unsatisfactory; instead, the atmosphere turned grave.
"What’s this person’s condition?" Professor Qian pointed to the person with no vital signs and asked.
Right now, they absolutely couldn’t afford any accidents; if Yang Chen was that one in ten, they couldn’t bear the consequences!
The Swordmaster replied: "Kidney failure, there’s a detailed autopsy report, all on the hard drive."
Professor Qian immediately went to the computer, opened the autopsy report.
The content was detailed; it showed that this person did not die from the Soul Returning Powder but from kidney failure. This indicated the antidote worked, but the person was allergic to it. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Professor Qian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered a test to check if Yang Chen was allergic to the antidote.
Soon, the test result came out: no allergic reaction.
Receiving this result, Professor Qian looked at everyone.
Everyone tensed up, clenched their fists, and their expressions were serious.
However, they all still cast a trusting glance at Professor Qian, nodding slightly.
With everyone’s permission, Professor Qian immediately walked to the nutrient chamber and administered the antidote to Yang Chen.
All eyes were on the monitor, staring at Yang Chen’s vital signs.
His brainwaves remained normal as always.
Soon after, his bodily functions began to recover.
The antidote took effect!
"Great!"
"The boss is saved!"
"Heaven’s blessing!"
"Jingyu, your brother finally overcame this crisis!"
"Finally pulled through, thank God!"
...
Everyone cheered, feeling like a huge weight was lifted.
The experts and professors also rejoiced because they finally completed their mission!
Although the toxicity of Soul Returning Powder was neutralized, Yang Chen remained comatose for a long time; waking up would still take some time.
But fortunately, everyone was relieved and no longer as worried.
After resting for a day, everyone turned their attention back to the underwater search.
After all, they wanted to give Yang Chen an answer before he woke up.
...
Yang Chen was in darkness for an unknown amount of time.
He remembered the last time he was in such a situation, the Fire Phoenix appeared.
But this time, there was no Fire Phoenix to take him out of this dark space.
He couldn’t recall what happened.
In this darkness, time and space seemed to have no boundaries; he kept walking endlessly without exhaustion.
...
Three days later.
Lying on the hospital bed, Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes.
He felt extremely exhausted, blinked, and fell back asleep.
That sleep lasted another day.
The next morning, Yang Chen opened his eyes, finally feeling refreshed.
It seemed as if, in the darkness, Yang Chen never rested.
However, during that period, the only thing active was Yang Chen’s brainwaves, as if they never rested either.
This situation was considered normal.
Yang Chen’s awakening was immediately discovered, and others were quickly called.
With the nurse’s assistance, Yang Chen sat up, leaning against the headboard, feeling the state of his body.
He was surprised to find that his muscles were somewhat atrophied, not obviously, but he could feel the weakness in his limbs.
This situation had never occurred before!
Immediately, Yang Chen asked, "How long was I unconscious?"
The nurse nervously replied; "Twen... twenty-six days..."
"Twenty-six days!" Yang Chen was taken aback.
He furrowed his brows, trying to recollect.
Back then, while fighting Black and White Elders, he was hit by a puff of powder. He held his breath at the time, thus didn’t inhale the powder, but later it seemed...
He was poisoned after all!!!
Yang Chen immediately understood!
"Where is this place?" Yang Chen asked again.
"You are on Penglai Island!" Professor Qian was the first to arrive; after all, he stayed in the lab the whole time and rushed over at the first sign of news.
"Professor Qian!" Yang Chen was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Professor Qian smiled, didn’t answer, took out a flashlight, opened Yang Chen’s eyes for examination, then took a look at the record chart from the nurse, nodded slightly, "You’re fine now, aside from lying unconscious for too long, your muscles may be unaccustomed. Once you’re out of bed and moving, you should be fine. After all, massage is not the same as muscle movement; it can only promote blood circulation."
Yang Chen nodded slightly; he understood that.
At this moment, Ye Liangcai, Elder Zhuo, Qin Zhiyuan, Meng Po... they all rushed over.
Ye Liangcai saw Yang Chen, nodded slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Just glad you’re awake!"
Elder Zhuo looked deeply at Yang Chen, tears glistening in his eyes but said nothing.
Qin Zhiyuan was the same.
Meng Po, on the other hand, couldn’t control her emotions, her tears fell like pearls, dropping down.
Seeing this, Yang Chen laughed: "I’m fine, why cry! Like a child!"
Meng Po struggled to control her tears, wiped the tears on her face, and with a sobbing tone she said: "I thought you would never wake up again!"
"How could that be!" Yang Chen laughed, but he noticed, everyone’s expressions were somewhat serious, as if, as Meng Po said, afraid he would never wake up...
