Chapter 657: The Vanguard
After returning to the teacher's apartment, Chen Chuan walked down the corridor, opened the window, and let Morning Cry fly out to exercise.
The Adaptation Organ must undergo extensive training to become stronger, and without the need for a Dimensional Token, he could see through his spirit and field the very orderly growth of the Adaptation Organ inside Morning Cry's body, with no deviations. The Wing Blade Light Nest's company technology was indeed commendable.
However, the most important thing was that Morning Cry was very intelligent. It understood which movements were beneficial to itself and could instinctively cooperate and adjust its own breathing.
But in this regard, he couldn't be of much help at the moment, as there was still a significant difference between Morning Cry's Adaptation Organ and that of a Fighter. Their methods of exerting force during movement were also different.
Intervening rashly might affect future growth, so he preferred to trust the plan devised by the Wing Blade Light Nest's Non-Active Conscious Entity based on data and case analysis.
Morning Cry quickly soared over the skyscrapers, becoming a black dot in the sky. He retracted his gaze and began to ponder the matter of the Snow Lady Saber.
To prolong its existence, a high-energy nutrient was likely necessary.
However, this substance was extremely difficult to find and very expensive. Moreover, it wasn't just that; each transaction of high-energy nutrients was typically recorded, and upstream companies tightly controlled the flow of these nutrients.
Although they were available on the black market, the prices were exorbitant, and the supply was scarce and of low quality. If one wanted a long-term supply, it was out of the question.
If it could only be used for a day or two, the difference wasn't significant. He needed a channel for a long-term supply.
If this option was excluded, based on past experiences, the Snow Lady Saber could actually absorb something from those existences to strengthen itself.
According to the information provided by the Defense Department, there was at least one existence still present here. If it could be slain, it would undoubtedly provide a substantial boost to the Snow Lady Saber.
Additionally, in the past, when dealing with strange anomalies, the Snow Lady Saber could also absorb something from them. In that case, it might be necessary to pay more attention to this aspect.
However, it was unclear how much absorption could benefit the Snow Lady Saber, and if the improvement was minimal, it wouldn't be very significant.
But it was possible to try it first and observe the feedback.
Just then, his Dimensional Token conveyed the sound of An Dun: "Director Chen, a message just came in from within the bureau. A vanguard team from the Linked Vigor Mastery Corporation is already on its way to Jinbei Central City, and they are expected to enter the city in about an hour."
As this message was sent, a long convoy was driving on the central city highway to the west, with the Linked Vigor Mastery logo on the front and sides of the vehicles.
The convoy consisted of twenty-five armed vehicles and ten large transport trucks. Inside the extended main vehicle in the middle of the convoy, a delicately featured young girl sat in a seat at the back.
She appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, with black hair reaching her waist and a neat fringe across her forehead. She wore an elegant dress, and her eyes were long and slender, her face thin and expressionless, with well-proportioned features that didn't make her look unattractive.
It was evident that she had received excellent etiquette training, as even in the car, she didn't lean against the backrest but sat upright, maintaining her posture.
On either side of her sat a man and a woman, both wearing black high-end security uniforms. The man had long hair and an armed face mask covering the lower half of his face, with broad shoulders and a sturdy, robust build.
The woman had short hair, and her eyes were long and narrow, with thin cheeks, but her facial features were well-proportioned, making her look not unattractive. However, her face showed no expression.
In the front seat sat a middle-aged female assistant, her expression stern and rigid. At that moment, she glanced at her watch and said, "Miss, we'll be in Jinbeidao Central City in forty-five minutes."
The girl seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned her head to look out the window at something.
The two people seemed to take her reaction very seriously, immediately looking in that direction as if it were a conditioned reflex, their muscles tensed and ready for something.
But there was nothing there.
After a while, the woman cautiously asked, "Miss, is something wrong?"
The girl retracted her gaze. "Nothing," she replied without further explanation. They exchanged glances but didn't ask further questions, and relaxed again.
However, if Chen Chuan were there, he would have noticed that the spot the girl had just stared at was the very place where he had opened a rift not long ago.
At that moment, the female assistant in the car took out a paper report and said, "Miss, according to the information we've gathered, Jinbeidao Central City is currently establishing an airship transport corporation to replace our Linked Vigor Mastery Corporation's transport business in Central City."
She spoke solemnly: "In the airship business, we have no way to compete with them."
The airship business, due to its safety and certain tactical and strategic significance, posed a threat to any organization or regime once it reached a certain scale. Therefore, it had always been controlled by the national and local governments. Within the borders of the Da Shun nation, no private airship business could rival the national government.
Even though land transportation was safer due to the special items being transported, it was undeniable that with the backing of the Central City Government, Union Heavy Control) had a more secure and reliable guarantee for their business, which would inevitably attract a significant portion of the market.
The young girl saw her pause and said, "Continue, I'm listening."
The middle-aged woman continued in a clear and steady tone, "The company believes that after the collapse of the Ferris Wheel Corporation, it is essential to seize the security and regional transportation businesses that originally belonged to the Ferris Wheel Corporation.
Before this, we have already made numerous preliminary attempts and lobbying efforts, and we have obtained the entry permit.
However, we also have many competitors, among which the most noteworthy are those with the strongest government support. These are the companies you should pay attention to."
She removed a piece of paper from the top and read the content revealed below.
"Wrap Package Corporation, a company established with the support of the Central City Municipal Parliament, has already taken over many of the Ferris Wheel Corporation's businesses, including island agriculture and ocean livestock, and has fully acquired the Ferris Wheel Corporation's technology.
Currently, they are eyeing the security and regional transportation sectors, and their appetite is enormous. Still, the Central City Government Hall is unlikely to permit them to take on more business.
The second noteworthy company is Fungxin Corporation, a newly established company that, according to the headquarters' investigation, likely has a background in a major Da Shun sect. They also have a deep relationship with the Municipal Parliament and are possibly formed by the Parliament to acquire more business. They are also our competitors.
The third is Fusion Border Corporation, a Jinbei Province-based company with a long history of good cooperation with the government, and most of their orders come from the government.
Additionally, their manager, who is also an investigation director from the Handling Bureau, deserves attention. This means that forceful methods will not work, and it is recommended to only engage in soft competition..."
The middle-aged woman then proceeded to introduce several other companies, explaining their situations one by one. The young girl listened attentively without speaking.
After driving for some time, the female security guard beside her said, "Miss, we are about to enter the Central City field range. Please authorize the activation of the field interference organism."
The young girl replied, "I authorize it."
After a while, all the field interference organisms in the entire convoy were activated, and everyone's dimensional tokens were only communicating internally, blocking all external monitoring.
More than ten minutes later, the convoy entered the Central City and headed towards the Union Heavy Control headquarters located in the deepest part of the city. The long convoy attracted everyone's attention as it passed by.
Although the convoy appeared stable on the surface, an invisible confrontation had been taking place since they entered the city.
The female security guard said, "Miss, since we entered the city, there have been continuous attempts by resonators to invade us, probably reaching double digits. Numerous active information fields are hovering near us, indicating that someone is monitoring us. It's likely the Handling Bureau."
The young girl said, "I understand." She continued, "The Union and the Linaxus diplomatic team will both enter Jinbei Province's Central City this month. Regardless of whether the Handling Bureau values us, they won't have too many resources focused on us.
This period will be our golden time.
We must establish our foothold during this time."
The female assistant said, "Miss, please leave it to us. We have made all the arrangements and prepared sufficient contingency plans."
The information confrontation in the shadows continued until the convoy reached the branch, where it slightly weakened. However, due to the earlier transportation of non-active conscious entities, it was challenging for field invasions to penetrate.
After the convoy stopped, they began moving the transported items into the building, including a giant black ceramic box that was carried into the underground room at the very bottom.
The young girl came to this room alone, caressing the smooth and thick ceramic wall, feeling the surging vitality emanating from within.
Inside the container was an active conscious entity embryo.
Due to the difficulty of cultivating active conscious entities, even a company like Union Heavy Control rarely has ready-made active conscious entities outside of their headquarters.
The previous operation's failure had proven that non-active conscious entities were inadequate for critical tasks, regardless of their quantity. If Car Gao Yi had an active conscious entity to cooperate with, the operation would have likely succeeded.
Indeed, all the major companies and branches established in the Central City possessed active conscious entities, providing substantial support for their business, security, and communication defense.
Therefore, to expand their business and establish a foothold in Jinbei Province's Central City, the headquarters specifically assigned an active conscious entity to assist them.
As the young girl was sensing this, a voice came through the dimensional token, "Miss, the Handling Bureau is here. They've come to inspect prohibited items."
