Chapter 418: Contingency Plan
Chapter 418: Contingency Plan
As Chen Chuan drove back, he suddenly realized that he had more ideas about combat techniques. The guidance from Lu Fang and the other two had helped him organize his own learning.
Teacher Jiang had said that theory outside of practical combat was also important, and it was indeed true. Not only could it help him understand where he was headed, but it also allowed him to review and organize his own learning.
With this in mind, Chen Chuan thought that perhaps taking on a teaching role in the future wouldn't be bad.
He slightly increased his speed, passing through the colorful light screens on the buildings on both sides, and soon returned to Wu Yi.
After entering the dormitory, he first took a shower and then removed the Boundary Vessel he had been using, replacing it with the one given to him by Agent Liang.
Upon activation, a light screen projected in front of him, initially displaying two intertwining curves that swayed like waves, then separating into two parts, each extending upwards and downwards. At the ends, it seemed as if they were merging and separating again.
After a while, an internal platform appeared before his eyes, along with a voice: "Login detected as Level 2 Executive of the Processing Bureau, Chen Chuan. Chen Executive, do you wish to enter the Boundary Defense Platform?"
"Enter," he replied.
With his confirmation, his identity flashed across the platform, and the internal interface was displayed.
The platform showed numerous information about the World Boundary and related materials, with a lot of content that seemed noteworthy at a glance.
However, he found that most of the information required permissions to access.
There was also a separate discussion channel with many participants, seemingly all third-limit Combat Solvers involved in defending the World Boundary.
Currently, as he hadn't participated in any defense missions and didn't have the defender identity authentication, any content related to defense displayed insufficient permissions.
At this moment, he noticed a file marked as received, which should be the one sent by Agent Liang.
He tapped on it, and immediately, information about entering the World Boundary defense and various rules to follow appeared.
Below this, there was basic information about Chen Bitong, whom Agent Liang had asked him to pay attention to.
This person had been stationed at the Boundary Defense front line since the age of twenty, and after more than twenty years, he had repeatedly refused promotions, mentored many juniors, and had a high reputation in the Boundary Defense community.
Furthermore, this person seemed to have a deep background and was possibly a member of a certain faction.
This time, a loophole appeared in the Boundary Defense, which was a significant issue. Although he had also been reviewed, when the review department tried to dig deeper, not only were there many defenders below, but someone above also spoke up, leading to his early release.
Chen Chuan remembered Agent Liang mentioning that this person was about to reach the Battle Master level.
He had heard of the Battle Master title somewhere before, and tried searching for it on the platform, this time finding a direct result.
Battle Master refers to a Combat Solver who has perfected their physical body, solidified their beliefs, and transcended their spirit, thereby mastering super-limit combat techniques.
Chen Chuan pondered. Cao Xuezhang had told him that the third limit was close to the human body's cultivation limit, so it could be understood that a Battle Master had transcended this limit.
And Chen Bitong was explicitly mentioned as someone about to become a Battle Master, he could imagine that even though he was currently a third-limit Combat Solver, both his body and spirit must have reached the peak of this limit. He was probably not comparable to the people he had encountered before.
He couldn't help but think that if he could spar with such a person, it would undoubtedly help him understand his future path.
There should be an opportunity.
He glanced at Chen Bitong's photo once more, swiped it away, and then reviewed the content he needed to see before exiting the platform. Seeing that it was already late, he practiced his breathing method and then went to rest.
During this vacation, he continued resting until mid-November. As he was always in a state of rest, many more memories from the memory drug were guided out, and most of them were still combat-related.
This aligned with some of his speculations. These memories might include some left by his parents for him to learn from. Objectively speaking, if things were indeed like this, it would indeed have a multiplying effect.
But perhaps something went wrong, leading to him receiving this guidance after reaching the third limit. If so, the needed clues might only appear after this.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. As time passed, he gradually became stronger, and he believed that even if there were problems, he would be able to handle them with a more composed attitude when the time came.
Two days later, on November 11th, Chen Chuan received a message from Yan Yi.
Chen Xiaoge received a call, "Mr. Chen, Sir Meng will officially announce Miss Meng as the new head of the company the day after tomorrow. All members of the Meng family will be present, and the company will dispatch their security forces to receive her. However, the main security responsibility will still fall on you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Xiaoge replied, "I understand. I'll be there today."
At the Ying Lu Villa, Huan Jie listened to the report from her team member.
"Huan Jie, according to the simulation of the Inactive Consciousness Entity, after incorporating Jiang Huowang, the success rate has stabilized at above seventy percent. The few failures were due to unexpected circumstances involving me."
The team member excitedly said, "Huan Jie, with Jiang Huowang, if he cooperates normally, we can maintain a success rate of over ninety percent!"
However, Huan Jie remained calm and collected.
Previously, a team member had suggested inviting Jiang Huowang, but she hadn't agreed initially. This was because although he was very powerful, he had a flawed personality and was highly self-centered. He was unpredictable, and once his emotions took over, he wouldn't follow orders. Adding him to the team might bring more harm than benefit.
But the results of the last simulation changed her mind.
From that simulation, even with Jiang Huowang, the outcome wouldn't worsen.
If Jiang Huowang performed well this time, they would succeed. If not, they could act as if he didn't exist.
She said, "Follow this plan and perfect the details."
Just then, a hurried voice from the Boundary Vessel said, "Huan Jie, we've discovered the target's movement. The day after tomorrow, Fusion Boundary Corporation will announce the new executive's notice. The target will definitely go to White Bird District first, and then send Meng Shu to the company the day after."
"His route is now clear, and we've rehearsed it multiple times. Should we intercept him on his way to White Bird District?"
Huan Jie immediately pondered the situation. Chen Chuan was alone, the route was confirmed, and they had a plan. This indeed seemed like the best opportunity...
But instead of making a hasty decisions, she thought for a moment and said, "What if we act when he's escorting Meng Shu to the company the day after tomorrow? I recall we have a contingency plan for that scenario."
The team member was slightly puzzled, "Yes, we do, but that option significantly increases the difficulty. There's a chance we might encounter not just one but multiple Third Limit Combat Solvers, which is unfavorable for us. The Processing Bureau might also intervene swiftly..."
"No," Huan Jie analyzed calmly, "The reason for our previous simulation failures was that he would retreat upon realizing the situation was unfavorable. However, when he's escorting Meng Shu out of White Bird District, he won't be able to leave to protect the Fusion Boundary Corporation's heiress. This is actually a good opportunity."
"But with Jiang Huowang, it seems we don't need to do that..."
Huan Jie said, "Jiang Huowang might not be entirely reliable. We should prepare for the possibility of ignoring him. Additionally, although Fusion Boundary Corporation has security forces, our team members are all Third Limit Combat Solvers. In a real fight, we don't need to worry about ordinary people; they can't interfere with us either."
"According to the contingency plan, after we launch the attack, when the target realizes that the assault is primarily aimed at him, he will definitely take the initiative to draw attention. That will be our chance."
"But in that case... the time we can use might be very limited. The Processing Bureau's personnel nearby will surely arrive within a short time."
"If he doesn't escape, how long can he hold out under our siege?"
"About five to ten minutes."
Huan Jie said, "That's enough. Follow this plan and simulate it again, perfecting the details. Also, add a command to the contingency plan: for the safety of the team, the entire operation is limited to ten minutes. After ten minutes, whether the target is eliminated or not, we will choose to withdraw."
"Yes."
After ending the call, Huan Jie thought for a moment and contacted someone else. After a while, a resentful voice came from the other end, "I've been asked several times from above. When exactly are you planning to make your move? I've been handling things here, and if you don't come to me soon, I might have to take action myself."
Huan Jie was straightforward, "We plan to act the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow?"
The voice on the other end became energized and then realized, "You're planning to intercept him on the road?"
Huan Jie said, "This time, we've made thorough preparations and even invited Jiang Huowang to ensure success. I will also personally participate."
The person on the other end became serious, "If that's the case, what do you need me to do to cooperate?"
Huan Jie said, "If possible, just help divert some of the Processing Bureau's attention."
The person on the other end seemed hesitant but finally agreed, "I'll try my best. Just be careful about the route you choose; it's best to avoid areas where the Processing Bureau has stationed their personnel."
Huan Jie said, "You don't need to remind me. Also..." She walked to the side, looking at the Ferris wheel spinning in the distance, "...to ensure success, I'll hire two more people on the platform..."
