Chapter 575: Sealing Off
Chapter 575: Sealing Off
After dealing with the split body, Chen Chuan drove back the way he came and met up with Lan Shen Nan, who had been waiting for him. It took another hour with her guidance to return to the surface.
The exit was located on the outskirts of Shenwei District, not far from where the Shadow Walker had been killed.
Upon his arrival, Chen Chuan sent a message to the Defense Department, informing them that the split body had been destroyed.
Not long after the message was sent, a voice echoed through the intercom, "Hello, Captain Chen. Specialist, thank you for your efforts. Please take some time to rest, and we will notify you if there are any further needs."
Chen Chuan leaned back in his chair after hearing this. He contemplated for a moment, contacted the intercom, and reached out to his team members. He learned that the rift had closed, and the three team members had been reassigned to other locations for guard duty.
Although these individuals were part of his team, the situation in Central City undoubtedly required people everywhere, and it was impossible to keep anyone idle.
Chen Chuan had been considering asking about the situation of other acquaintances, but currently, communication resources were scarce. Only those involved in the frontline operations could use them, so he decided to wait until the operation was over to inquire.
He pushed open the car door and stepped out, and the bugs that had been swarming in the air seemed to scatter as if avoiding some dangerous entity, buzzing away.
Chen Chuan glanced upwards. The airship responsible for information relay hovered in the sky, and behind it, the crimson sunset glow still spanned the heavens.
Based on the information he had received, this was already the seventh wave of the Spider Mother's splitting. There was no sign of it stopping, and it seemed likely that this round of splitting would exceed ten occurrences.
There might be a battle later, so now was a good time to adjust and rest.
At this moment, he thought about how his spirit had transcended that boundary, and he should now be able to see the spiritual imprint left by Chen Bitong.
Indeed, as his spirit probed, it was surprisingly easy to see the contents within.
Apart from some survival experiences and memories related to the Convergence Ground, the primary focus was on two types of energy cultivation: the String Void Power, which was Chen Bitong's primary cultivation, and the Flying Dragon Fist Technique, which had been demonstrated before.
In addition to the application of energy cultivation, there were also specific requirements for gathering altered tissue, the necessary drugs, and solutions to various problems encountered during training.
It could be said that if a person's altered tissue was suitable and they cultivated the same type of energy, they could follow this path.
At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly thought of Chen Xiaojin. Perhaps this was not only left for himself but also for Chen Xiaojin.
However, it seemed that the content only involved pure energy cultivation, without any spiritual involvement. There wasn't even a hint of spiritual cultivation mentioned.
Chen Chuan understood this. One's spiritual cultivation could only be achieved through personal effort. The spiritual experiences of others might not become a source of strength but could instead become an obstacle, or even a form of pollution.
Therefore, Teacher Xue had only taught him cultivation methods and never demonstrated the details of the practice.
Furthermore, at Chen Chuan's current level, the power he unleashed primarily came from the combination of his spirit, energy, and heart force. Everyone's spiritual power was unique, and their thoughts and combat habits differed. Even when practicing the same energy cultivation, the outcome would vary, each with its distinct characteristics.
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. Compared to Chen Bitong's String Void Power, Lao Hu's Segmenting Power, and the energy of others, he felt he lacked a unique energy cultivation of his own, rather than merely imitating others.
He had a vague idea in his mind, but it required time and gradual exploration to develop and refine.
At a small port on the east bank of Central City, Guan Shangjing, the security supervisor of Skywheel Company, stood on the deck of a ship docked in the nearby sea area, gazing towards the city.
They had entrusted the captured split body to Union Victory Company, requesting them to deliver it to the port within the specified time.
Although the two companies had previously clashed, it did not prevent them from doing business together. In fact, because of their past conflicts, others were less likely to suspect any dealings between them.
Deputy Manager Song Zicheng was in charge of the specific reception at the port. At this moment, he seemed to receive some news. After listening for a few sentences, his expression became exceptionally grave. He gave some instructions to the people across the way and then directly contacted Guan Shangjing, who was still on the ship.
"Supervisor, Union Victory Company's convoy has emerged from the Lower City and is heading our way. However, on the road, they encountered an interception by the Handling Bureau. The blockade by the Handling Bureau is very tight, and it seems they will have difficulty breaking through."
Guan Shangjing's expression changed. "Has the information been leaked?"
Song Zicheng replied, "It shouldn't be. According to the information we received, the Handling Bureau had previously concentrated a significant portion of its forces towards the direction of the outer port, with personnel at every critical point on each road."
Guan Shangjing narrowed his eyes. The Handling Bureau's deployment clearly indicated precautions against Skywheel Company.
As the Spider Mother's split bodies were being transported, a large force was stationed nearby, revealing the intentions of the Handling Bureau, and even those behind the Government Hall and the Defense Department.
Although he sensed a grave threat, once the company's plan was successfully executed, with the support of the Union and the opening of the maritime route, none of these would become obstacles.
Song Zicheng asked, "Supervisor, should we try to intercept them?"
After all, the items were already there, just one step away from being obtained. If they were blocked and turned back from a place just a line away from them, it would be a real pity.
Guan Shangjing's face turned solemn. The items must be obtained, as they were related to the Union's inspection and the success of the entire plan.
The previous actions could be attributed to mercenaries, but if they directly intervened to seize the split bodies, they would openly oppose the Jingbei Dao Central City.
However, they had no way back. Since they had started, they would see it through.
Moreover, even if they didn't act this time, would the Central City let them off? Judging from the current situation, it seemed likely that after the Central City resolved their immediate troubles, the next step would be to deal with them.
He made a decisive decision, "Deputy Supervisor Song, you lead a team to intercept and ensure the items are brought back."
"Received," Song Zicheng replied. He immediately called out, and several armored vehicles drove out from the port, heading towards the direction where the Union Victory Company's convoy was blocked.
At that moment, less than ten kilometers away from the port, multiple explosions erupted, and flames raged amidst the rising black smoke. Bullet and artillery marks were everywhere, and most of the Union Victory Company's convoy lay overturned, with almost all the accompanying security personnel killed on the spot.
This convoy, dispatched by Che Gao Yi, consisted of most of the elite and recruited personnel he had brought this time, including three Trilimit Elite Fighters from headquarters, an Original Human Company-made combat doll, and several hired fighters.
This force should have been sufficient to break through the seemingly weak defenses of the Handling Bureau, but now they were all eliminated here, almost without exception, and the only one blocking them was a tall, thin man in a military overcoat.
The crowd looked at him with awe.
The Handling Bureau's Executive Captain Xu Chan.
He was personally appointed by Liang Specialist, and at this moment, there were no visible combat traces on him, not even a speck of dust.
In the 16th and 19th books, the 1st and 9th editions, the 1st and 2nd editions, and the 1st and 3rd editions, there is no mistake.
The battle ended even faster than expected. Once the Third Limit Fighters on the opposing side were all eliminated by him, the remaining people had almost no resistance left.
The Command Center was well aware that even if the split bodies were taken out of the city, as long as they headed inland, they were still within the range of Dashun Territory, and with some technical means, there was a chance to retrieve them.
But if they left towards the sea, it would be the hardest to catch up. At the same time, to prevent the Skywheel Company from causing trouble at this time, there was a need to show strength. So, even with insufficient manpower, they maintained a powerful presence in this direction.
At this moment, a search team member suddenly discovered something. After examining it, he immediately brought it to Xu Chan, saluted, and reported, "Reporting Captain, found it."
Xu Chan took a look and confirmed that this was the split body taken by the convoy. He said, "Destroy it on the spot."
These split bodies, once outside, were considered contaminated by default and would never be retrieved.
At this moment, a voice came through the intercom, "Captain, the Skywheel Company's convoy has been spotted in the rear. Should we intercept them?"
Xu Chan replied coldly, "As long as they don't pass through the checkpoint, leave them alone for now."
He knew that now was not the time to deal with the Skywheel Company. Even if the higher-ups decided to take action, they would have to wait until the entire split wave had passed.
The Skywheel Company's convoy was currently stopped at the checkpoint, and Song Zicheng, through his telescope, was already observing the situation ahead. He immediately contacted Guan Shangjing at the rear.
"Supervisor, the Union Victory Company's convoy has been intercepted."
"So fast?"
"It's the work of Xu Chan from the Handling Bureau."
Guan Shangjing fell silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. Lead the team back."
He glanced at the sky. Although the convoy was intercepted, the situation is not beyond control yet."
It was now almost the seventh wave of splits, and judging from the situation, this split might reach more than ten waves. They could still try again.
He had this confidence because, until now, a certain existence had not made a move.
After a gap was torn in the World Ring, at least two opposing existences had slipped through. One was eliminated within the Fusion Boundary Company.
The other one, who had come into contact with them, would absolutely not remain idle. When the time came, they would still have a chance.
