Chapter 246: Post-Operation
As the City Safety Defense Team departed, Wu Bei noticed immediately and exclaimed, "Chen Xiao, they're leaving! They're heading back."
He breathed a sigh of relief and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, this person chose Class C Service. If it were Class B, they wouldn't have left."
Chen Chuan wasn't familiar with the details of the clauses, but he held an Infinite Defense Permit, so he wasn't afraid of the city's security forces. Now that they were gone, it meant one less hassle to deal with.
However, this clause seemed to be something he should pay attention to in the future.
Seeing that there was no one else around, he returned to the building, retrieved the sheath of the Xuejun Sword, and collected some hair and blood from Lang Teng and Bo Chen. Only then did he descend from above.
At this moment, Wu Bei said, "Chen Xiao, are you leaving now? Wait a bit longer. I'm hacking into their information center to delete today's records, and there's a lot of information stored in their Nexus, including many details about the Anomaly Investigation Commission. I can take it all with me."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Take your time, there's no rush."
Since the City Safety Defense Team had already left, it was unlikely that anyone would come to this place for a while.
The City Cleanup Department might send someone to collect the bodies, but that wouldn't happen immediately.
Lao Qi also received the notification and drove over. With the Nexus now uncontrolled and all bio-field signals blocked by Wu Bei, he wasn't worried about being exposed. As he approached, Wu Bei conveniently pulled him into the same communication channel.
Lao Qi parked the car and walked over, gazing at the corpses scattered on the ground. He couldn't help but be amazed by the destructive power of Chen Chuan, a fighter like him. It had only been a short time, yet an entire elite commission team, including security personnel, had been completely dismantled.
In the channel, Wu Bei suddenly exclaimed, his voice slightly raised, "I've found something. According to the surveillance footage, it seems they deposited a large sum of cash in the company yesterday."
"Cash?"
Lao Qi immediately responded, "We must take the cash with us!"
Then he added, "I'm not being greedy, but think about it. If we leave it here and the cleanup team takes it, they'll also take the cash. Then, they'll trace the money back to us. It's better to take it now; without it, they won't be able to find anything."
Wu Bei agreed, "This cash has no traceable records. If it's in the company, taking it won't be a problem."
Lao Qi asked, "Chen Xiao, what do you think?"
Chen Chuan's reply was short and firm, "Take it."
The urban legend still needed to be dealt with, and if it couldn't be resolved immediately, a significant amount of money would be required to purchase the binding materials for the secret sect ceremony. Using the Gold Shrimp Team's funds for this purpose was very appropriate.
With Chen Chuan's approval, Lao Qi eagerly ran inside and, following Wu Bei's instructions, found a bag of cash in a room, which appeared to have been left untouched.
Carrying the bag of money, Lao Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Only cash can be taken. Who knows where the money in the Gold Shrimp Team's account will end up."
Wu Bei checked the company's account using the Nexus and said, "There's not much money in the company account, only about two thousand. It was probably just for temporary emergencies."
Lao Qi thought for a moment and felt it was quite normal. It was still early in the year, and the Gold Shrimp Team's funds from the previous year should have already been distributed. The bulk of the money was likely in private accounts, not in the company.
However, even if they could trace the private accounts, hacking the account passwords wouldn't be of much use. Most of these accounts were linked to the owner's bio-field. Once the owner died or was outside the safety range, the account would be frozen, and only the owner or their designated heir could access it.
The two men waited for about ten minutes, and then Wu Bei excitedly announced, "It's done! I've packaged all the data!"
Chen Chuan said, "Then let's go."
He and Lao Qi got into the car, and as the vehicle started, Lao Qi turned to look at the flamboyant Gold Shrimp on the rooftop of the building. "Chen Xiao, there might be someone backing the Gold Shrimp Team. We should be cautious from now on."
Chen Chuan acknowledged with a grunt.
The situation would determine their next move. If the higher-ups of the Gold Shrimp Team were still around, they might be able to mobilize many connections. However, according to the company records, all of them had stayed here today, so how many people would stand up for them?
At this moment, Wu Bei reassured them, "Don't worry. I've deleted all of Chen Xiao's records, and I've altered his travel itinerary for today. Without a specific target, they won't be able to trace him."
Lao Qi asked, "What about the City Safety Defense Team? Won't they have records?"
"They might, but the defense team's records are generally not publicly accessible. Only if you purchase their services, and even then, only with a Class A Service agreement, can you access some shared information."
Lao Qi finally relaxed, knowing that Class A Service was one of the top-tier services offered by the city's defense team. Only the most prominent figures in Central City could afford it, and even selling the entire Gold Shrimp Commission Team wouldn't be enough to cover the cost.
Just then, Lao Qi received a signal from Wu Bei and, after considering it for a moment, turned to Chen Chuan and said, "Chen Xiao, I think Wu Xiao would be a great fit for our team. Why don't we invite him to join us?"
How does this look?"
Inside the apartment, Wu Bei felt a mix of tension and anticipation.
These words were spoken at the request of Lao Qi. He had never seen a fighter as powerful as Chen Chuan, and the prospect of potentially handling those Anomaly Commissions, facing the filth and enemies lurking in the dark corners, excited him.
Chen Chuan had realized at this moment that having a Resonator in the team might be necessary when operating in Central City. He said, "Xiao Brother Wu is very capable. If Xiao Brother Wu doesn't mind..."
"I don't mind, I really don't mind!"
Chen Chuan smiled, "Good, since that's the case, Xiao Brother Wu, welcome to the team."
"Oh yeah!" Inside the apartment, Wu Bei excitedly raised his hands.
After all this commotion, it was already noon. As the car drove, Chen Chuan watched the footage sent by Wu Bei.
This was his battle with the Golden Shrimp Team, but his records had been blocked and erased, so everyone seemed to be fighting a blurry mass of light and shadows.
However, he could see every move clearly, and he couldn't help but think that in Central City, fighters reviewing their own battles should be a straightforward task, which would be very useful for post-battle analysis and improvement.
But when he saw those coordinated, almost perfectly synchronized movements, he instinctively felt it was related to bio-field technology. So, he extracted a segment and sent it to Wu Bei, asking, "Xiao Brother Wu, do you know what this is?"
Wu Bei took a look and replied, "Oh, I know. By linking with active or non-active conscious beings, tactics can be adjusted and coordinated based on the records and data within them. Sometimes, fighters don't need to think for themselves; the conscious beings will make adjustments for them, provided they have the designated implants."
Chen Chuan understood that this technology was not to be underestimated. The Golden Shrimp Team's strength and equipment were just a step away from being formidable. If they were to improve further, dealing with them would not be so easy.
It was easy to imagine that the City Safety Defense Team must possess this technology, and the individual qualities of their team members were likely even higher.
Assuming they faced such an enemy, there was no other option but to have greater strength.
He took a deep breath, knowing that he needed to strive to improve himself as soon as possible.
