Chapter 779: The Tumultuous Arrival
Chapter 779: The Tumultuous Arrival
Inside the Municipal Parliament building, two legislators directly responsible for the Emergency Affairs Center stood, one seated and the other standing, in front of a vast glass wall. The room was dimly lit, but a large field screen was activating.
"Our arrest team has been dispatched, and we've received word from the Union that Chen Manager from the Handling Bureau is incredibly powerful. They advise us to take this seriously."
"No problem," the other legislator said with a playful tone. "The airship squadron has been sent, and modified weapons are on their way. The bigger the scene, the better, right?"
The legislator held a glass of deep red liquid, watching the field light reflecting off the glass, and slightly rotated it, saying, "So we must ensure that the main areas of the Central City receive the message."
At this moment, all the media outlets under the Parliament were spreading the word to everyone. They claimed that people returning to the Central City from the outside were suspected of carrying strong contaminants. While these contaminants had no effect on the individuals, allowing them to move freely could pose a severe threat to all citizens.
However, these individuals were unwilling to undergo the necessary inspections. Despite repeated persuasion, they not only refused to comply but also, relying on the privileges granted by the Handling Bureau, the Defense Department, and even the Government Hall, killed the personnel sent for inspection.
What's worse, they should be aware of the issues on their bodies. Otherwise, why would they refuse inspection and resist? This was an extreme disregard for the lives of citizens and a significant threat to the city's safety!
With proper guidance, public opinion could be stirred to incite all citizens to reject and oppose them. This would shift the focus onto the Handling Bureau, the Defense Department, and even the Government Hall. Subsequently, it would link the city's past problems to the excessive privileges of these violent law enforcement agencies and demand restrictions on them.
At the same time, it would demonstrate that only the Parliament could protect the citizens, positioning themselves as the just party in this matter.
The key was to emphasize the protection of the people. With this slogan, many seemingly unreasonable things would become reasonable, and many previously inconvenient tasks could be pushed forward.
Honestly, they hadn't expected their opponents to present them with such an opportunity. The Handling Bureau was the largest violent system within the Central City, and any action from the Government Hall would likely start from there. They had initially planned to create some chaos within the Handling Bureau to buy themselves some time to react and prepare. But now, it was a delightful surprise.
If handled well, they could not only resolve the imminent crisis but also launch a counterattack to some extent. Ideally, they could force their opponents to negotiate with the support of the Union.
If they could legally restrict the other party's military power and abolish the bills proposed by the Government Hall after the destruction of the Ferris Wheel, they could also make a generous concession and maintain the previous status quo.
At this moment, the screen in front of them suddenly became clearer, displaying the square in front of the Handling Bureau's headquarters. Both legislators were invigorated by the sight.
"They're here."
At the same time, the vehicle carrying Chen Chuan entered the square of the Handling Bureau. However, the square was unusually empty, with only a few old patrol cars scattered around.
Due to the violent attacks within the city, most of the Handling Bureau members were out on duty.
Chen Chuan glanced at the Border Token; it seemed the City Safety Protocol, which had blocked his connection with Agent An a few minutes ago and even shielded their Border Tokens. But he remained calm.
The vehicles stopped in the square, and as the doors opened, they stepped out one by one. At that moment, they noticed a team of people exiting the main entrance of the Handling Bureau's headquarters.
Leading them was a person that surprised everyone.
"Han Fu?"
Captain Lv was taken aback. Wasn't he under custody? How did he get out? The other team members were equally shocked to see Han Fu, who had regained his original appearance. Only Chen Chuan's expression remained unchanged, as if he wasn't surprised by this person's appearance.
Han Fu was now wearing a brand-new Handling Bureau uniform, but his hair was unkempt, making it look a bit long. Standing behind him was Wang Weiguang, and with them were a dozen people from the Gray Shell Agency, all dressed in Handling Bureau uniforms.
Han Fu looked at Chen Chuan, and deep in his eyes, there was a hint of deep apprehension. His hands began to tremble slightly.
After consuming the Pure Substance, his potential was unleashed, improving his physical qualities and granting him spiritual perception. This gave him a bit of courage to face Chen Chuan, but it was only a small amount. The overwhelming power and impenetrable defense Chen Chuan displayed that day still haunted him, making him shudder at the mere memory. Not to mention, Chen Chuan had backup, and their chances of winning were slim.
But today, he had to take the lead.
He understood that the Parliament had given him the recovery medicine and pure substance, not as a reward, but to have him carry out this task.
If he was willing to fight with all his might and survived, he would have another chance in the future. But if he didn't fight now, the Parliament would turn their backs on him, and everything he seemed to possess would be lost.
He glanced at the several execution captains, including Xu Chan, and the many fighters behind them. He stopped not far from the entrance and said to Wang Weiguang, "Where are the others you mentioned who were coming to surround and capture them?"
Wang Weiguang pointed to the border token and said, "They're already here."
At that moment, everyone saw several people running towards them at an incredibly fast speed. They seemed to have appeared in the square the moment they were spotted, and there were three of them, each with their entire bodies wrapped in grayish-white bandages, looking emaciated with only their eyes exposed. They were obviously from the Sagou Fist Sect, connected to the Inter-Gorge.
At that moment, the sound of helicopter blades filled the sky, and three small airships flew towards them. Even from a distance, they began shouting at the people below.
"People below, you are surrounded! You are surrounded! You are carrying undetected external contaminants and must undergo inspection and processing by the Emergency Affairs Center before being allowed to move. Otherwise, you will pose a serious threat to the citizens of the central city. Lay down your weapons and stop resisting! I repeat, lay down your weapons and stop resisting!"
The machine gunner on the airship aimed at those below and said, "We're in range. When do we start shooting?"
"Hold on a little longer."
The person in charge on the airship stopped him.
The Parliament had already instructed them not to rush into action, as they wanted this incident to attract more attention. Some field displays in certain areas had not yet been adjusted.
Lv Captain nodded solemnly. He and another teammate returned to the car, took out a large box, and placed it in front of them. The box was covered with a black cloth embroidered with gold trim, and on top was a woven Guardian Flower, its white petals standing out vividly against the black background.
"Han Fu, do you know what this is?"
After saying this to the person across from him, Chen Chuan walked to the side of the box, flipped over a picture frame that was upside down on top, and placed it on the box, adjusting the angle. It was a photo of Manager Chen, who was staring intently at Han Fu at that moment.
Upon seeing this, Han Fu's eyes couldn't help but flicker with unease.
Chen Chuan said, "This is Manager Chen. I brought it back from the Fusion Land. This time, I'll let Manager Chen witness your downfall with his own eyes."
Suddenly, Han Fu felt a sense of unease, but he quickly suppressed it. He looked at the people around him, then glanced at the airship above, and finally looked forward, shouting,
"Manager Chen, you're still so formidable, but Manager Chen's situation has nothing to do with me. It's all your slander. You deliberately suppressed and framed me and Manager Chen, your competitors, just to become the director. But you can't cover up everything. Someone has seen what you've done."
Chen Chuan said, "What I've done, indeed, many people have seen it." At this moment, he turned to Xu Chan and said, "Old Xu, and everyone else, please back away a bit."
Xu Chan nodded solemnly, and none of the others objected. In the Fusion Land, they had witnessed Chen Chuan's display of force firsthand, and they didn't think these people would pose a threat to Chen Chuan.
As they backed away, Chen Chuan walked forward. Even without consciously projecting his psychical power, his movement created a strong sense of oppression for Han Fu's side.
Facing his advance, the members of the Sagou Fist Sect took the lead and charged forward. Their body structures were unique, and even if they were hit by some powerful essence energy, they wouldn't be harmed. Moreover, they worked well together.
Han Fu had no choice but to move. He took a step forward, and as he did, a faint glow flickered on his fist. It wasn't that he was trying to hide the fact that he had mastered spiritual perception, intending to use it at a critical moment. It was just that he had only recently mastered this power and hadn't yet reached the point of controlling it at will.
The four of them charged forward almost simultaneously. However, just as they were about to close the distance, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Thin air ripples appeared in the air, and with a loud bang, the four of them seemed to have collided with an invisible wall.
Han Fu's forward charge was abruptly blocked, his bones cracked, and he fell to his knees with a thud, vomiting on the ground.
