Chapter 575: Sealed
After dealing with the split body, Chen Chuan continued driving back. After exiting the tunnel, he met up with Lan Shen Nan, who was waiting ahead. Under her guidance, it took them over an hour to return to the surface.
This exit was located at the edge of the Shenzhen District, not far from where he had killed You Xing.
Upon arriving, regardless of whether the Defense Department had detected it or not, he transmitted a message confirming the destruction of the split body.
Not long after the message was sent, a voice from the Jie Ping said, "Hello Captain Chen, the special agent thanks you for your efforts. Please rest well for the time being, and we will notify you if needed."
Hearing this, Chen Chuan leaned back in his seat, thought for a moment, and then contacted his team members through the Jie Ping. He learned that the rift had already closed, and the three of them had been reassigned to guard other areas.
Although these were his team members, given the current situation in the Central City, there was a severe shortage of personnel, and no one could afford to be idle.
He had considered asking about other acquaintances, but communication resources were very tight, and only those involved in frontline operations could use them. So he decided to wait until everything was over before asking.
He pushed open the car door and stepped out. The bugs that had been flying around him seemed to sense some danger and buzzed away.
Looking up, he saw the airship responsible for relaying information hovering above, and behind it, the crimson glow still spanned the sky.
From the information he had received, it was already the seventh wave of the Spider Mother's splits, and there was no sign of it stopping. This time, the number of splits might exceed ten.
There might be more battles ahead, so it was a good time to adjust.
At this moment, he thought that since his spirit had crossed a certain boundary, he should now be able to see the mental imprint left by Chen Bitong.
Sure enough, as his spirit focused, he easily saw the content within.
Apart from survival experiences and memories of the Convergence Zone, the main content was two techniques: the String Emptiness Power that Chen Bitong primarily practiced, and the Flying Dragon Fist Force he had demonstrated before.
In addition to the methods of using these techniques, there were specific details on the required mutated tissues, medications, and how to resolve various issues encountered during training.
In essence, if someone had suitable mutated tissues and practiced the Loose Hand Force, they could follow this path.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Chen Xiaojin. This information was likely left for him as well.
It seemed that the content was purely about the fist techniques and did not involve any mental cultivation, not even a hint of it.
He understood this. One's mental cultivation could only be completed by oneself. Others' mental experiences might not help and could even become a hindrance or a form of contamination.
Therefore, Teacher Xue had always only taught him the methods of cultivation and never delved into the details of his own practice.
Moreover, at his current level, the power he produced was a combination of his spirit and the original force, forming a Heart Force. Everyone's spiritual strength was different, and so were their thoughts and combat habits. Thus, even if they practiced the same technique, the final result would be unique to each person.
He pondered for a moment and felt that compared to Chen Bitong's String Emptiness Power, Lao Hu's Division Force, and the techniques of others, he lacked a unique force of his own, rather than just mimicking others.
He had a slight idea in his mind, but this would require time to fill in and experiment with.
On the eastern shore of the Central City, at a small port, a ship was docked in the near-sea area. Guan Shangjing, the security director of the Skyscraper Company, stood on the deck, looking toward the city.
They had entrusted the split body they had captured to the Allied Heavy Control Company, which was required to deliver it to the port.
Although the two companies had been at odds, this did not prevent them from doing business. In fact, because of their previous conflict, others would not immediately suspect any cooperation between them.
Deputy Director Song Zicheng was responsible for the specific reception at the port. At this moment, he seemed to have received some news, and his expression became particularly grave. After a few words, he directly contacted Guan Shangjing, who was still on the ship.
"Director, the Allied Heavy Control's convoy has already left the Lower City and is heading our way, but they have been intercepted by the Processing Bureau. The Processing Bureau's blockade is very tight, and it looks like they will find it difficult to break through."
Guan Shangjing's expression changed, and he asked, "Was there a leak of information?"
Song Zicheng replied, "It doesn't seem so. According to our information, the Processing Bureau had concentrated a significant force in the direction leading to the outer port beforehand, with people stationed at every key point."
Li Shangjing narrowed his eyes, clearly aware of the Processing Bureau's strategic focus, which was primarily aimed at guarding against the Ferris Wheel Corporation. Even during the Spider Mother's breeding and splitting, they had deployed such a large force, revealing the Bureau's, and possibly the Government Hall and Defense Department's, underlying intentions.
Although he felt a grave threat, once the company's plan was successfully executed, with the support of the Joint Body and the opening of the oceanic transport route, none of these obstacles would matter.
Song Zicheng asked, "Supervisor, should we try to provide support?"
After all, the goods had arrived, and they were just one step away from obtaining them. If they were blocked and turned away, just a hair's breadth away from their goal, it would be a real shame.
Li Shangjing's face turned solemn. They had to get the goods, as it was crucial for the Joint Body's inspection and the success of their entire plan.
However, the previous operation could be attributed to mercenaries, but if they directly intervened to seize the Split Bodies, they would openly oppose Jinbei Province Central City.
But they had no way back; since they had started, they would see it through.
Moreover, even if they didn't act now, would Central City let them off the hook? Given the current situation, it seemed likely that after dealing with their current troubles, Central City's next move would be against them.
He made a decisive decision, "Deputy Supervisor Song, lead a team to provide support and ensure that the goods are brought back."
"Received," Song Zicheng replied. He immediately called out, and several armored vehicles drove out of the port, heading towards the direction where the Allied Heavy Control convoy had been blocked.
At that moment, less than ten kilometers away from the port, flames from several explosions burned fiercely, black smoke rose, and traces of bullets and artillery fire were everywhere. Most of the Allied Heavy Control convoy was overturned, and the accompanying security personnel had been almost entirely eliminated on the spot.
This convoy, dispatched by Che Gaoyi, consisted of most of his elite and recruited personnel, including three Tier Three Combatants he had brought from headquarters, a custom-made battle puppet from the Original Human Company, and several hired combatants.
This force should have been sufficient to break through the seemingly weak defenses of the Processing Bureau, but now, they had all been eliminated here, with almost no one left behind. And the one standing in their way was a single man.
The crowd looked at the tall, skinny man in a military coat with awe.
Xu Chanshi, the executive captain of the Processing Bureau.
This man had been personally assigned by Specialist Liang to be stationed here. At this moment, there were no visible signs of combat on him, not even a speck of dust.
The battle ended even quicker than expected. Once the Tier Three Combatants were all eliminated, the remaining personnel had almost no resistance left.
The command center was well aware that even if the Split Bodies were taken out of the city and into the inland, they would still be within the Great Shun Territory, and with some technical means, there was a chance to retrieve them.
But if they headed towards the sea, it would be the most challenging to pursue. Simultaneously, to deter the Ferris Wheel Corporation from causing trouble at this time, they needed to show some strength, so even with insufficient manpower, they maintained a powerful deployment in this direction.
At this moment, a search team member suddenly found something. After examining it, he immediately brought it to Xu Chanshi, bowed, and reported, "Captain, found it."
Xu Chanshi took a look, and after confirming that it was the Split Bodies carried by this convoy, he said, "Destroy it on the spot."
These Split Bodies, when exposed outside, were considered contaminated and would never be used again.
At that moment, a voice echoed within Jie Ping, "Captain, we've spotted the Ferris Wheel Corporation's convoy at the rear. Should we intercept them?"
Xu Chanshi replied coldly, "As long as they don't breach the checkpoint, leave them be for now."
He was well aware that now was not the time to deal with the Ferris Wheel Corporation. Even if the higher-ups decided to take action, they should at least wait until the entire split wave had passed.
The Ferris Wheel Corporation's convoy was currently stopped at the checkpoint. Song Zicheng, through his telescope, observed the situation ahead and immediately contacted Li Shangjing at the rear.
"Supervisor, the Allied Heavy Control convoy has been intercepted."
"So soon?"
"It was Xu Chanshi's doing."
Li Shangjing fell silent for a moment and said, "I understand. Bring your team back."
He glanced at the sky; although the convoy had been intercepted, the situation was not yet beyond control.
It was almost time for the seventh split wave, and judging by the situation, this split might reach over ten waves. They could still give it another try.
His confidence stemmed from the fact that a certain existence had not yet made a move.
After a gap was torn in the World Ring, at least two entities from the other side had slipped through. One was eliminated within the Fusion Boundary Company.
The other, with whom they had come into contact, would undoubtedly act. When that happened, they would have another chance.
