Chapter 245: Security Defense
Chapter 245: Security Defense
Jing Li managed to survive in the Central City and establish a team, not only relying on connections but also his intelligence. Yet, he was wearing a protective suit, and he called himself a student of a martial arts gym?
At least, this kind of protective suit was only worn by high-level executives and government officials!
There must be some mistake with the information.
There must be a skilled Resonator backing him up.
The issue became more complex, and he broke into a cold sweat, desperately wondering who was targeting him. Was it because of that shipment? Or was it related to an unfinished task given by a powerful figure?
He didn't expect to reach a compromise. With the enemy at his doorstep, how could they let him off? This was no joke. At this point, even if he was willing to back down, the other party wouldn't believe he'd let it go afterward. He had no choice but to see it through!
Either he would kill or be killed!
These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and his expression turned fierce as he issued a harsh command: "Find a way to deal with him!"
Hearing his order, the team's elite members formed a small squad formation. The front row immediately raised their defense shields and drew out their steel hammers and batons, while those behind them took out extendable poles with spears. They slowly closed in on Chen Chuan from three directions.
Jing Li immediately instructed the Resonator beside him: "Find out his true identity!"
The Resonator knew he had made a mistake earlier, so he started searching without a word. But each time he found something, it didn't match up.
He understood that the Resonator backing their opponent was causing this interference. This wasn't technically challenging; it was just a matter of preparing a large amount of similar information in advance to replace the real data. It was quite effective in the current situation, unless a non-active consciousness body helped analyze it. He silently cursed and continued his search.
After waiting for a while, Jing Li contacted other Resonators through the Boundary Vessel. Soon, he found a Resonator he had frequently collaborated with in the past.
After making contact, a red light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Do you see the person in front? Destroy his Boundary Vessel and Implant!"
Chen Chuan saw these people closing in on him, and he lifted the Snow Lady Sword slightly and walked towards them. As he moved, he entered a state of fusion with his Second Self, and in that instant, everything around him slowed down.
Even with the advantage, the Fighter's instinct prevented him from charging head-on. Instead, he bypassed the front shield and chose to attack from the side.
With extreme speed, the sword flashed, and two people were sliced open. But when he attempted his third strike, a shield-wielding person on the side quickly moved to block the attack.
It wasn't just him; in a short moment, all the remaining team members, who had been slow and sluggish before, suddenly matched Chen Chuan's movements.
This was because, after seeing Chen Chuan disappear from their sight, the team members' nerves were intensely stimulated, and their implants automatically injected a special drug into their bodies. This caused their physical abilities to explosively enhance in a short time.
This special drug and implant, produced by the military, are almost essential for every elite team. Otherwise, a heavily invested team encountering a Third Limit Combatant would be wiped out in an instant, which would be a joke.
Jing Li suddenly saw a blur in front of him, and everyone's movements in the field became blurry, clearly exceeding his visual capture range.
A chill ran down his spine.
This person was a Third Limit Combatant! Third Limit Combatants must register with the Central City Public Security Department and report their movements, whether domestic or international. This is because once fully armed, their destructive power is immense and can pose a threat to anyone in a high position.
Jing Li sternly asked the Resonator beside him, "Haven't you found his identity yet?"
"Just a little longer..."
The Resonator was also helpless. His opponent was very cunning, skillfully using the Boundary Vessel and Implant to interfere with the search, dragging out the time without engaging in a technical battle. Although he was gradually closing in, it seemed it would still take some time.
At this moment, Jing Li heard another Resonator's voice in his ear, "He doesn't have an Implant, so we can't interfere with it."
"What about the Boundary Vessel?"
"His Boundary Vessel only receives one channel, and all other functions are turned off."
Jing Li cursed and thought that it was unsafe outside, so he called the Resonator to return to the car with him.
Chen Chuan saw that these people had caught up with his speed in the blink of an eye, but he wasn't surprised. He had encountered such a situation before, and if people in Yangzhi City could obtain such items, it would be even easier in the Central City.
However, what was different was that each person's movements in this group were extremely coordinated, and their teamwork was astonishing.
Just as the shield blocked his sword strike, the spear from behind thrust towards him, and another person raised a steel baton, aiming at his head. Not a single person hesitated due to their teammate's dire situation.
Chen Chuan also noticed that not only the team in front of him but also the two teams behind were quickly adjusting their positions to surround him.
It was evident that this team was highly disciplined and had strong combat capabilities. However, there was a way to deal with them. After all, their firearms posed no threat to him, and without long-range threats, he didn't need to rush forward. He could simply keep them occupied or wait for the drug's effects to wear off.
Chen Chuan, with a swift retreat, effortlessly evaded the incoming spear. His arm remained still, and with a subtle twist of his wrist, he deflected the spear's path.
His opponent, despite halting the spear's momentum, attempted to seize Chen Chuan's knife. But Chen Chuan swiftly whipped his arm, sending stones flying towards the heads of several people. Even with their protective helmets, the impact was akin to a hammer's blow.
Before they could regain consciousness, a blade's gleam slashed through the air, cutting through the team. As Chen Chuan's figure moved through them, what was once a group of intact individuals became scattered, severed limbs.
In the eyes of an unknown Resonator witnessing this, the team seemed capable of standing against Chen Chuan moments ago. Yet, in the blink of an eye, they were shattered, life and death transitioning rapidly, creating a strong sense of dissonance in his perception. After a moment of shock, he silently withdrew without waiting for the aftermath.
Chen Chuan had dismembered a squad, and his momentum didn't waver. He turned to face the remaining two squads, repeating his previous actions after finding a solution.
Jing Li sat in the car, observing the elite team he had meticulously crafted and heavily invested in, now being effortlessly dismantled by Chen Chuan. His body trembled with a mix of astonishment, anger, and fear.
Before the final outcome, he urged the driver, "Drive, drive..."
Chen Chuan had already eliminated all threats in the area. He scanned the vehicles and, without hesitation, sprinted towards one. He kicked the rear bumper, sending the car spinning into the air.
Chen Chuan followed closely, kicking the car's underside. The vehicle flipped, landed, and rolled twice before coming to a stop upside down on the street.
Jing Li, dazed and dizzy, felt his body tremble. Blood trickled down his forehead, and his implant responded to the external stimulus by injecting him with an excitant, allowing him to maintain his state.
Through the inverted vision, he saw a pair of feet approaching. He hastily unbuckled his seatbelt, letting his body drop. He struggled to move to the other side, opened the door, and crawled out, leaving the Resonator in the backseat unattended.
Outside, without waiting for Chen Chuan, he scrambled and pleaded, "Don't come closer! I signed a Class C Defense Agreement with the City Security Department. They're on their way, and if you kill me, they'll arrest you too."
Wu Bei's voice echoed in his ear, "Chen, he's right. I just traced his signal, and he did sign a Class C Defense Agreement with the City Security Department. If he requests it, the City Defense Team will be dispatched, no, they're already on their way, and they'll arrive within ten minutes."
He swallowed, "Chen, the City Defense Team specializes in handling violent incidents in the Central City, and they're incredibly powerful..."
Chen Chuan remained unmoved. He approached the car and, seeing Jing Li attempting to flee, drew his Wuji Gun and fired several shots at his back and head. Jing Li wore protective armor, preventing the bullets from penetrating, and his hardened skull shielded his head, leaving him unharmed.
Unfazed, Chen Chuan threw a stone. It struck Jing Li's head, causing him to collapse as if struck by a heavy blow.
Chen Chuan walked over, grabbed Jing Li's leg, and dragged him a few steps before hurling him onto the car.
A loud bang reverberated as Jing Li's body dented the car's underside. Internal organs, implant tissue, and blood spilled from his mouth, and the red light in his eyes faded.
Several kilometers away, a fleet of black armored vehicles advanced. At that moment, they received a notification from a Non-Active Consciousness Body:
"Class C Security Service target deceased. Squad, please determine subsequent actions independently."
The Security Team leader scanned Chen Chuan using a nearby Boundary Point, and this time, Wu Bei didn't alter the identity. Chen Chuan's updated information immediately appeared on his Boundary Vessel.
They first saw Chen Chuan's status as a Wu Yi Academy student, then the permits he held: "Weapon Permit, Armor Permit, Unlimited Defense Permit..."
Finally, they reviewed his past records...
But as they scanned, a red warning flashed, indicating a national secret of the Great Dawn, and they lacked the clearance to access it...
The Security Team leader, experienced in such matters, promptly deleted the information, blocked the communication channel, and ordered a retreat.
Less than half a minute after Jing Li's death, the Security Team, without hesitation, retreated.
After all, the Class C Defense Agreement only guaranteed the target's safety, and with the target deceased, their responsibility was fulfilled.
Following the service, the company sent a message to the deceased Jing Li:
"If you have any objections to the service provided, we suggest upgrading your agreement or purchasing the following: City Security Company, offering the safest defense services."
