"Old Lu, you're back!"
Li Tianming and the others looked at Lu Daoxing's appearance and immediately asked with concern.
Lu Daoxing's chest was already soaked with blood, his face was deathly pale. There were also two deep wounds on his garlic-shaped nose.
Li Tianming, Zhang Kuang, and Qin Siyang saw the bright red bloodstains and immediately knew that Lu Daoxing was not an imposter.
His wheelchair stopped not far from the four of them, "You… you four, you're not imposters, are you?"
Qin Siyang said, "Professor Lu, you put a lock on my storage box that only I can open."
Lu Daoxing sighed in relief after hearing this, "It's you guys. That's good…"
Before he could finish speaking, he passed out.
Seeing Lu Daoxing faint, Li Tianming immediately took out a vial of medicine from his backpack, anxiously trying to examine his injuries.
But he was stopped by Chang Tianxiong, "Chang, why are you stopping me?"
Chang Tianxiong frowned, "Old Li, can you be sure he's really Old Lu? He just asked us a question, but we haven't asked him anything yet."
Zhang Kuang said, "The imposters' blood is black and gelatinous. You can look at that corpse lying on the ground over there. Its blood still hasn't coagulated."
"Old Lu's blood is deep red, normal human blood. Even if he hasn't answered questions, he's still Old Lu."
But Chang Tianxiong still frowned and refused to step aside.
"Chang, what are you trying to do? Are you just going to let Old Lu die? Do you have a grudge against him?"
"Old Lu looks like he won't last much longer if we don't treat him quickly."
Chang Tianxiong, however, insisted, "Old Li, as researchers, our most important trait is being rigorous."
"We haven't verified whether he's really Lu Daoxing. The wheelchair he's sitting in is a God-Hunting Tool we've never seen before."
"Even the armor he's wearing isn't the same as the one he had when we separated."
"Besides, none of the God-Hunting Tools we've seen him use before are on him now."
"Just because he's bleeding normally, can you say for sure he's Old Lu?"
"Couldn't he be an enemy that's different from the other imposters?"
Li Tianming frowned deeply after hearing this, "Even if he's an imposter, we can quickly find out. He can't fool us forever."
"What if he's just pretending to be unconscious to lure us in and ambush us? The moment you get close, he blows your head off. t
Then what?"
Perhaps because he hadn't fought the imposters before, Chang Tianxiong maintained his initial rational and objective judgment.
Zhang Kuang and Qin Siyang listened to Chang Tianxiong's words and found them reasonable.
But sometimes, an observer sees more clearly than those in the middle of the situation.
Li Tianming, however, couldn't accept it, "Chang, you all supported me when I was in trouble, and this time, you're here with me to find Little Qin for the sake of our future research."
"To be honest, in my heart, I treat you all as my brothers. But now, Old Lu is seriously injured, right in front of me, and there's a high probability that he's really Old Lu. How can I just let him die there?"
"If he's really Lu Daoxing and dies in front of me because I didn't treat him in time, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
Li Tianming's eyes were red as he spoke.
It was clear that he was truly anxious.
Li Tianming was not a cold, emotionless machine.
It was precisely because of his righteous nature that even in his lowest moments, he still had the support of several accomplished professors.
Qin Siyang could also feel the immense pressure Li Tianming was carrying.
If it were him, and the dying person in front of him was Little Zhao, who had come to help, he might also rush in to save him without hesitation.
But he had already been completely convinced by Chang Tianxiong's words.
They hadn't confirmed if this was really Lu Daoxing.
They couldn't let Old Li take this risk.
Since Lu Daoxing had come out looking for him, it only made sense that he should be the one to take the risk.
Qin Siyang grabbed the vial of medicine from Li Tianming's hand, "Old Li, I just need to feed this to Professor Lu, right?"
"Little Qin, you—"
"You great professors left the safe zone to come find me. Since it's my fault, I should take responsibility for this."
"Besides, I already told you. When you encountered the imposters, they all tried to kill you. But the one I encountered didn't seem to want to kill me."
Qin Siyang glanced at Lu Daoxing, whose head was tilted to the side, "If this Professor Lu is an imposter, he probably won't attack me."
Hearing Qin Siyang's words, Li Tianming, Zhang Kuang, and Chang Tianxiong were all momentarily stunned.
Li Tianming was moved and gripped Qin Siyang's hand.
Zhang Kuang and Chang Tianxiong, seeing this side of Qin Siyang for the first time, had admiration in their eyes and nodded approvingly.
Qin Siyang said, "Old Li, give me some high-grade armor. I'll go deliver the medicine to Professor Lu."
"Hm?"
"I'm willing to take the risk, but that doesn't mean I won't prepare for danger. Give me some high-grade armor to keep me alive."
Li Tianming looked troubled, "Armor like that. Except for Old Lu, everyone only brought one set. We're in the middle of nowhere. Where am I supposed to get you another one…?"
At that moment, he noticed Qin Siyang eyeing his own armor with a greedy expression.
"Old Li, I'm risking my life here. Don't you think you should show some appreciation?"
Li Tianming's mouth twitched.
Sure enough, he was still the same Qin Siyang.
Never letting an opportunity go to waste.
Just when he had touched Li Tianming's heart, he immediately tried to take advantage.
Li Tianming's momentary feelings of being moved vanished instantly.
A while later.
"Little Qin, what exactly did you do while wearing this Red Silk Armor? Why is it so misshapen and full of holes? Some parts even have air leaks!"
Li Tianming looked at the tattered Red Silk Armor with disdain.
"Heh, it's fine. Just ran into some minor trouble."
Qin Siyang, however, happily patted the black armor he was now wearing.
This armor was different from the Cyan-Striped Armor and Red Silk Armor he had worn before.
His previous armor had been light and flexible, but this black armor was extremely heavy.
It was estimated to weigh at least twenty or thirty kilograms.
But on someone like Qin Siyang, who had immense strength, it didn't add much burden.
Qin Siyang also realized that Li Tianming, who wasn't known for his strength, had chosen to wear this heavy armor. Either he was confident that it wouldn't slow him down, or he simply didn't mind being slower.
Qin Siyang pinched the loose waist of the armor, "Old Li, this armor has way too much room for your belly. I look all sloppy wearing it. Honestly, you need to lose some weight."
Li Tianming squinted, "You rob me and still have the nerve to complain?"
Qin Siyang put on his helmet and waved, "Enough joking around. I'm delivering the medicine now."
He confirmed that he still had the Divine Remnants in his mouth, then slowly walked to Lu Daoxing and opened his face shield.
Looking at Lu Daoxing's pale face, Qin Siyang carefully poured the medicine into his mouth.
Just as Qin Siyang was about to leave, Lu Daoxing suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Qin Siyang's hand.
