Chapter 333: Resonance
Chapter 333: Resonance
At the intersection, the blockade consisted of stacked objects in the middle, with a few restraining ropes placed to indicate a potential exit, a courtesy left by the Moss Gang members for their own.
The gang members at the back had vaguely witnessed the commotion up ahead and heard their boss's instructions. They immediately dragged a few simple tire piercers and placed them at those locations.
The rest of the gang hid behind the stacked objects, taking out crossbows and guns, aiming at the Gard vehicle as it approached. Before it even got close, they began firing.
Most of the bullets missed their target, and only a few hit the bulletproof plates of the Gard vehicle, sparking and ricocheting away.
Chen Zhuan, in the driver's seat, glanced at the front and stepped on the accelerator. With the gear engaged, he drove straight towards the obstacles.
The gang members were shocked by this move, and they quickly jumped to the side, dodging the impact. The obstacles were smashed, and the Gard vehicle roared past them.
Chen Zhuan felt the vehicle shake violently but remained confident in its sturdy construction, a result of the modifications made by Ghost Walker. He believed that the modifications had considered such collisions, and with a few more bumps, he quickly turned the steering wheel, making a wide arc towards the nearby main road.
A Moss Gang member immediately used a boundary vessel to inform the gang of Chen Zhuan's location and direction.
As they drove onto the wide road, Chen Zhuan felt his body and mind in an abnormally active state, as if his body was more obedient to his will.
He carefully sensed his body and soon discovered that the process of clearing the ghost stories could also catalyze the impact on his third limit.
It made sense because under the stimulation of the ghost stories, the altered tissue could grow rapidly.
Now, with the dual effects of medication and breathing techniques, his altered tissue was constrained to grow in a certain direction. What he lacked was the impetus to push it forward and the guidance to lead it.
At this moment, Wu Bei's voice came from the boundary vessel: "Chen Xiaoge, many people are attacking your boundary vessel, and they are tracking your current direction."
To better assist Chen Zhuan, Wu Bei had left a domain alert on Chen Zhuan's boundary vessel. As soon as someone launched a domain attack, he would immediately receive the alert.
Chen Zhuan thought for a moment and said, "It's probably Moss Gang members. I had a little conflict with them."
Hearing that the opponent was a gang, Wu Bei, excited, said, "Chen Xiaoge, leave it to me."
Chen Zhuan acknowledged, his mind elsewhere. These gang members were like a muddy pond, and stepping into it would only get him dirty.
Moss Gang's resonators, realizing they couldn't block Chen Zhuan, quickly reacted. As the top gang in Hong Sheng District, they had many strongholds, so they quickly instructed their members to look out for a modified Gard vehicle. Soon, they had results.
Wu Bei also noticed the situation and attempted to interfere with the information transmission between boundary vessels.
However, these Moss Gang members were clearly accustomed to entering and exiting the boundary points in Hong Sheng District, leaving many domain habitation points in various boundary points within the district. With their numbers and the advantage of the resonance nest, Wu Bei was limited by the boundary points' transmission and could only counter them one by one, unable to intercept them all at once.
After discovering this, Wu Bei first alerted Chen Zhuan and then retreated, luring them out of the boundary point.
The Moss Gang's resonators, thinking he was trying to escape, immediately followed the signal he left. But as soon as they left the boundary point of Hong Sheng District, their advantage disappeared, and they were captured by Wu Bei's information traps, bombarded with a pile of unrecognizable domain signals.
Several Resonators' brain implants were suddenly inundated with an overwhelming amount of information, causing them to vomit on the spot. One of them, more severely affected, rolled their eyes and began foaming at the mouth.
After passing through two more intersections, Chen Chuan checked his rearview mirror and spotted two modified convertibles tailing him, clearly belonging to the Moss Gang.
He quickly contacted the City Patrol Team, identifying himself as Chen Chuan, a backup enforcement officer from the Handling Bureau, currently being pursued by gang members in Hong Sheng District. He warned that if the City Patrol ignored this, he would handle it the Handling Bureau's way.
Soon after the City Patrol received the message, they seemed to have communicated with the Moss Gang's upper echelon, causing most of the gang members to back off. However, there were dissenters. The leaders in the two cars, furious at the order to stand down, cursed, "Fuck! Our brother was beaten by him, and Yuan Biao might be dead. They want us to let go? I'll show the City Patrol who's boss!"
He grabbed a gun and started firing wildly ahead, quickly emptying a magazine. But this emotional outburst of shooting was more about making noise than posing any real threat.
As the cars followed the Gard Vehicle down a street, their Boundary Vessel suddenly displayed large red characters, indicating that they were all wanted and must immediately stop for inspection.
The Moss Gang members in the cars paid no heed. Many of their gang members were wanted, and they never cared about inspections or patrol warnings.
After another ten minutes of driving, as they passed through another intersection, an armored patrol car suddenly appeared from a side street, ramming into the leading convertible's side. The car flipped over, but the leader, with neural enhancements and modified tendons, managed to jump out just in time.
The other car's occupants were startled, trying to steer clear, narrowly avoiding a crash. They realized that the street had mysteriously emptied, with all vehicles gone and both sides blocked by armored patrol cars.
The patrol officers on the scene, there was no warning; they drew their guns and opened fire, disregarding the gang members' subcutaneous armor implants. The gang members screamed and fell one by one under the onslaught of gunfire.
The leader who had jumped out, seeing the situation turn dire, activated his implanted explosive hormone, instantly raising his blood pressure and accelerating his heartbeat in an attempt to escape. However, caught in the crossfire, he managed only a few meters before collapsing on the road.
The City Patrol usually didn't take such drastic actions, primarily maintaining daily law and order. But openly chasing and shooting at a backup enforcement officer was a different matter.
Moreover, with the Central City Arena Tournament approaching, they had been instructed to tighten security. These gang members, having been warned, still dared to challenge them, so there was no need to show any courtesy.
At that moment, not far from the hotel where the ghost stories had occurred, a boy who had once warned Chen Chuan stood outside a residential building, holding a large box of nutrient gel. He cautiously pushed open the door to a room where the curtains were tightly drawn, and inside, a tall figure sat cross-legged, most of his body hidden in the shadows. Strangely, if not for seeing him in person, one would hardly sense his presence. From the contours of his face, he appeared remarkably robust, and a hammer hung at his waist, a noticeable feature.
The boy placed the nutrient gel down, "Sir, today's portion."
The man extended his large hand, snatching the gel and tearing it open to eat.
The boy stood up, and before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the hammer on the man's waist. The man paused slightly, looking up at him, "Kid, do you want to learn this?"
The boy was stunned, then beamed with joy, nodding vigorously, "I do!"
The man fell silent, continuing to eat.
After waiting for a response, the boy felt a twinge of disappointment and was about to turn to leave when the man spoke again, "The anomaly ahead has disappeared. I won't be staying here for long."
The boy froze, his face filled with urgency, "Sir, are you leaving?"
By then, the man had finished the entire box of nutrient gel. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, "I'll stay a few more days. How much you learn depends on your skills."
The boy was instantly overwhelmed with joy.
"Don't get too excited yet," the man stretched his neck and slowly stood up, towering over the boy, "My teachings won't be easy."
