Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1815: Chapter 1683: Return to Action

The various indicators of the living Zhou Tai immediately exploded all the research data, surpassing even those of the blood belonging to Dian Wei’s test tube, which still hadn’t coagulated.

Such terrifying physical indicators naturally resulted in the inhibitors that were originally prepared being far too ineffective. Even the latter drawn so-called agent that could poison Inner Qi Manifestation failed to completely suppress Zhou Tai.

In the active state of Inner Qi Manifestation, the displayed data far exceeded the estimates of Hua Tuo and Zhang Jii. Simply put, the coffin prepared for Zhou Tai could no longer hold him. Were it not for the continuous preparation of inhibitors, Zhou Tai might have awakened by now.

It must be said that if Ji Xiang hadn’t arrived in time, in another ten days or half a month, Hua Tuo and Zhang Jii would really not have been able to suppress Zhou Tai. It was precisely because Ji Xiang arrived timely, bringing other news, that Zhou Tai was liberated.

This news was that Liu Cao Sunx had united, that a group of people in the North had put aside their differences to deal with the Northern Huns together.

Actually, the essence of this news was not much related to Hua Tuo and the others. The reason for releasing Zhou Tai was that everyone had united, and Hua Tuo saw a chance for better research materials.

Since everyone united, Dian Wei was considered one of their own. Even without considering everything else, claiming to give him a physical check-up would still allow them to research Dian Wei.

The resurrected Zhou Tai’s data had already exceeded their estimated indicators, but it was likely that Dian Wei’s indicators surpassed the previous estimates even more, as comparing the live indicators from Zhou Tai’s side clearly showed.

In these past few days, while Hua Tuo and Zhang Jii suppressed Zhou Tai, they also acquired a large amount of superior experimental material. But the news brought by Ji Xiang was too astonishing. With the exceptionally research-worthy Dian Wei surprisingly becoming one of their own, they naturally seized the opportunity to study him.

Therefore, without thinking twice, Hua Tuo and Zhang Jii stopped their current work. Although they were doctors, they both hailed from aristocratic families, and some basic principles were very clear to them. The current situation was truly an opportunity not to be missed!

The research value of Zhou Tai was entirely lower than that of Dian Wei, moreover, regardless of how or what, on Zhou Tai’s side, they had revived a dead person. In the future, if they wanted to do research on him, as long as they could find him, he would surely show them respect.

For Dian Wei, it was completely different. With no kinship or connection, researching him would be very difficult. Especially as these top valiant generals rarely fell ill, not grasping the current chance for research materials meant future opportunities were bleak.

As for the previous idea of capturing alive, Hua Tuo now had basically given it up. Against such an ultimate expert who had fought Ascendant Lyu Bu, who could take him down without lethal force?

If inadvertently taken down, he’d probably be dead, just look at the immense difference in various indicators between the half-dead and living Zhou Tai. If Dian Wei were dead compared to him living, the gap would probably be even larger!

Having researched a half-dead Zhou Tai, they had already developed epidemic stabilizers and epidemic adaption injections, vital life-sustaining items. Zhang Jii and Hua Tuo were thrilled at how much could be researched from a living Dian Wei.

So for Dian Wei to be studied, Zhou Tai’s research would be set aside. In any case, future opportunities to research remained, though there’s a particular frustrating situation here; Zhou Tai’s cell activity was too high, with high toxicity resistance and proactive drug resistance. Without constant preparation of new inhibitors by Hua Tuo and Zhang Jii, Hua Tuo’s disciples would see Zhou Tai come back to life in a few short days.

Rather than let that happen, they might as well fully awaken Zhou Tai now and have him protect the two of them to the North. After all, Zhou Tai was one of the top valiant generals in the world, capable of protecting the two of them without issue under current circumstances.

Thus, the two of them discussed, sending Ji Xiang to notify Li Youu, and then began preparing another injection to fully activate Zhou Tai’s cell activity.

Truth be told, although they had constantly used Zhou Tai as experimental material, in treatment terms, they hadn’t shortchanged him. Even using precious agents to stimulate Zhou Tai’s body, the immunization injections and reinforcement injections were also created this way. However, from this perspective, Zhou Tai mostly ended up being treated as experimental material.

Just as Ji Xiang smiled at Lub Su, making Lub Su uneasy, the long-dormant Zhou Tai finally awoke after two years.

Sitting up abruptly, Zhou Tai looked around in confusion, the strong medicinal scent overwhelming. ”Where is this place?”

”Ye City!” Hua Tuo admired the calm and collected Zhou Tai, answering.

”How did I get here? My lord had already attacked Ye City; how many years have I slept?” Zhou Tai was genuinely alarmed.

”No, Eastern Wu now belongs to the Han Dynasty.” Hua Tuo stated blandly.

”What about my lord?” Zhou Tai was shocked, utterly unable to understand what had happened. He could feel himself brimming with strength, yet almost unable to sense the Inner Qi born from within, while the Heaven and Earth Essence felt distinctly tangible.

”Serving the Han Dynasty, currently battling the Huns in the North.” Zhang Jii suddenly poked his head out and said.

”You’re Physician Zhongjing!” Zhou Tai exclaimed with joy upon seeing Zhang Zhongjing. ”Can I travel North to follow my lord now?”

”Think carefully, Sunx Bofu is no longer the lord he used to be. You’re still a prisoner; your awakening after so many years, partly due to luck, partly because of our treatment,” Hua Tuo coldly reminded Zhou Tai.
