Chapter 412: Cooperation
Chapter 412: Cooperation
In a certain villa in the Yinglu District of the Upper City, Huan Jie once again gathered the team members in front of the light screen. She said, "We just received a message from the Lower City. Our target has gone there."
One of the team members couldn't help but show excitement, "Huan Jie, can we take this opportunity to eliminate the target?"
Huan Jie crossed her arms and said, "It's difficult. Although the company has partners there, this mission is assigned to our team to complete independently."
"If we need the partners' cooperation, we have to contact the upper management first, and then communicate through them. It's too inefficient, prone to information leaks, and unexpected situations may arise. Moreover, there's no guarantee that the target will still be there by then."
"I didn't call you here to deal with him immediately, but to show you this recording."
As she spoke, she swiped her finger on the light screen, and a video appeared. "This is from yesterday. You can compare it with the fight against Wei Wusheng to see the difference in his current state and level."
"Last time, we didn't find much useful information from the Viper Team. This video basically represents his current state and level, and we can use it as a reference."
"This was provided by a special Resonator team in the Lower City. Although we can't see all the details clearly due to the Boundary Vessel issue, we can slow down the video to observe each move."
The fight unfolded quickly. When the team members saw Chen Chuan blocking the top strike of the Three-Section Staff with his palm, they couldn't help but show slight surprise. One of them commented, "We couldn't see much during the fight with Wei Wusheng, but this time, it's clear that the target has trained the Iron Body Technique."
The team members nodded in agreement.
Then, they witnessed Gai Er's powerful swing, and they couldn't help but nod in admiration. This move was indeed impressive and well-known. However, the next moment, they saw the staff hitting Chen Chuan's neck, but he stood there without moving a muscle, which further confirmed their previous judgment.
Not only had Chen Chuan trained the Iron Body Technique, but he was also a master of it!
Huan Jie spoke up, "It's not that simple."
After thinking for a moment, she continued, "When encountering blunt force attacks, the Iron Body Technique usually deflects or absorbs the impact. Chen Chuan, on the other hand, seems to have used a combination of unloading force, enhanced blood, and solidified mutated tissues to block the attack."
One of the team members asked with confusion, "If he indeed used this method, with his performance, his body's mutated tissues coverage should be at least eighty-five percent. Is that possible?"
Huan Jie wasn't entirely sure either. She said, "So, this is just a hypothesis."
The team members continued watching, and soon, they saw Chen Chuan suddenly catching up with Gai Er's footsteps and grabbing his neck.
Huan Jie paused the video at this point and said, "Did you see it? After being grabbed, the opponent instantly lost control of his body. This is a typical display of capture force."
The team members nodded in agreement. Then, they witnessed Gai Er being slammed to the ground and his head being stomped on, which made them tense up. Their muscles tightened unconsciously, and they assumed a self-defense posture.
The video paused and froze at this scene.
Huan Jie spoke up, "What are your thoughts?"
After a while, one of the team members suggested, "Based on this video, compared to the fight with Wei Wusheng, the target only showed stronger resistance to strikes. His opponent's limited skills didn't bring out his full strength. I think we should stick to our original plan but add specialized means or weapons to deal with Iron Body Technique masters."
Huan Jie said, "Anything else?"
Another team member spoke up, "The target's combat power is formidable, especially in one-on-one combat. He's excellent at seizing opportunities. I just obtained some information about how he defeated the Viper Team. From the tactical review, it seems he took them down one by one.
The same goes for Wei Wusheng and the fighter who was killed.
So, when we face him, we must not give him the opportunity for a one-on-one fight. When engaging the target, it's best not to send just one person. At least one team member should be ready to provide support and assistance.
Or... we should add a member who can restrict him head-on..."
Huan Jie looked at this team member and asked, "Do you have anyone in mind?"
The team member raised his head and said, "Huan Jie, I think we can invite Jiang Huowang this time."
Lower City, Road Connect Logistics Camp.
Chen Chuan contacted Lao Chi to set up a strong signal and communicated with the Processing Bureau, Fusion Boundary Corporation, and others.
After Meng Shu officially took over as the company's executive, she still had to handle a lot of business and personnel transitions. Her official appointment would take place in mid-next month, so there was still some time. This time, Chen Chuan could rest until mid-next month.
Since he had just completed a long-term mission, there wasn't much going on at the bureau. Wu Ju only reminded him to participate in a defense mission before the end of the year.
This wasn't a problem. Chen Chuan wouldn't stay here for long. Once he arranged for Yu Gang's implant, he would leave.
Actually, even the Combat Masters of Venom Sect have implant services, and their reputation is excellent. Unfortunately, they don't offer their services externally.
There's also a manager from Prolon Corp who owes him a favor, but since they aren't close, he won't take verbal agreements seriously.
In the end, he decided to go through Fusion Boundary Corporation's channels. The company has its own implant products, and he mentioned them during their previous communication.
The company was very efficient. On the very next day, they used strong signals to contact him and dispatched an armed convoy from the Upper City District, which followed Lan Shenan to the camp.
After getting off the car, the person in charge hurriedly approached Chen Chuan and introduced himself, "Hello, Advisor Chen. I'm Tang Zhang, the Deputy Director of External Affairs for the company.
Based on the information you provided, we've brought several products made with our latest internal technology. After implantation, the dependence on medication is much lower than that of products on the market. Moreover, Miss Meng Shu specifically looked into it and removed the implant key, ensuring no adverse effects on the implantee."
This is why Chen Chuan chose Fusion Boundary. Even with Venom Sect's services, it's hard to guarantee that no information keys are left behind. But Meng Shu wouldn't do something meaningless like that; instead, she would do her best to avoid it.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I heard there are implants that don't rely on medication?"
Tang Zhang replied, "There are, but various compatibility tests are required first. We also need to specifically cultivate the implantation site, which could take years and is very costly. Our company hasn't mastered this technology yet."
Chen Chuan nodded. He only asked out of curiosity, and for the sake of safety, some trade-offs are necessary.
Tang Zhang turned to Lan Shenan beside him and said, "Captain Lan, if your camp needs implant doctors and equipment, we can provide them."
Lan Shenan replied, "Thank you, but we have our own."
At this moment, she deeply realized the power of an Upper City District Third Limit Combat Master.
When Road Connect Logistics was at its peak, it supported not just one Third Limit Combat Master. Their primary role was to exert military deterrence, but they didn't display any particular prowess in other areas.
Although this was sufficient for the team, it couldn't compare to Chen Chuan's performance at this moment. The latter needed only one contact to have a company manager come in person and deliver the implants directly to their doorstep.
In contrast, she had to go to great lengths to find channels, offering many favors and promises, and in the end, she might still only get ordinary-grade implants.
But all these difficulties seemed non-existent for Chen Chuan.
At this time, Chen Chuan said, "Captain Lan, I'm not in a position to intervene with Teacher Yu. It's best if you talk to him directly."
Lan Shenan nodded heavily, "Leave it to me."
After she left, Tang Zhang turned to Chen Chuan and smiled, "Advisor Chen, can we have a private chat?"
Seeing that Tang Zhang had something to say, Chen Chuan led him to an empty spot and said, "Manager Tang, what's on your mind?"
Tang Zhang smiled and said, "This is my first time in the Lower City District. I chatted with Captain Lan, who escorted us here, and I think this place is ideal for our company's business expansion. I'm just not sure if this will affect Advisor Chen in any way. Please don't misunderstand, Advisor Chen. This is purely a business matter. Our company primarily handles state orders, but we also need to find new business growth points.
When Meng Huang was around, he focused on foreign markets. To be honest, if not for political factors, it would be a good choice. Now that this direction is blocked, the only remaining blank space is the Lower City District."
Chen Chuan looked at him and asked, "The Lower City District has always been here. Why didn't the company come here to develop its business before?"
Tang Zhang laughed, "On one hand, there are regulations we can't bypass, and on the other, we didn't have suitable products or a proper entry point.
We produce protective products, but the government doesn't allow us to sell them to ordinary people, let alone the unregistered residents in the Lower City District. But as you've seen, our company has also developed many biological implants, which makes it convenient for us to do business in the Lower City District.
However, this must be done in cooperation with Lower City entities. Road Connect Logistics is ideal; they have ready channels and territories, which is perfect for promoting our products. Most importantly, they are also willing to cooperate."
Chen Chuan asked, "Is this your personal idea, Manager Tang?"
Tang Zhang smiled, "Actually, the company already has this plan. Who doesn't want a piece of the Lower City District cake? But I know that people from Road Connect Logistics might be your acquaintances, Chen Chuan. So before making a decision, I wanted to ask for your opinion. If you think it's inappropriate, then forget I said anything."
