Chapter 848: Unparalleled Honor

Nian Fulu's family returned to the inspection station in a lively manner. When they reached the off-road vehicle, Nian Qian let out a surprised exclamation. After placing their luggage, he circled the car a couple of times, admiringly saying, "Cousin, you've got quite the treatment here. If I'm not mistaken, this vehicle should be the 'Courtyard Guardian' from Feng Hai Corporation. This is their most low-key model. It's said that with a full tank of gas, it can continuously run for a day and night in complex terrain. This car must be worth at least 30,000 to 40,000."

Chen Chuan wasn't very familiar with the car. It was given to him by the Government Hall when they presented him with the villa, and there were several other vehicles in the garage, including sedans and off-roaders. However, he only brought this one, which seemed inconspicuous yet practical, on his return to Yangzhi.

In fact, Chen Chuan preferred the Gader vehicle he had before. It was sturdy, durable, bulletproof, and could carry cargo. But since it was a gift from someone else, he didn't feel right using it too often.

Nian Qian rubbed his hands together and said, "Cousin, why don't you let me drive?"

Chen Chuan smiled, understanding his desire to have some fun. He agreed, and after Nian Fulu and Yu Wan got in with the two little ones, he sat in the passenger seat, leaving the driver's seat for his cousin, whom he trusted to be reliable.

As the car exited the inspection station, all the guards saluted them. Nian Qian, looking through the rearview mirror, was surprised by the efficiency of the inspection station's personnel.

After driving for a while, Nian Qian praised the car, "This car is so comfortable. The high seating position provides stability, and the view is excellent." He glanced around and suddenly recalled the past, saying, "Cousin, do you remember when we were kids and I took you out of the city to play..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wan looked up, her guard up. "When did you two go out of the city to play? Didn't I tell you not to leave the city?"

Nian Qian coughed twice, "Mom, we were just kids back then, weren't we?"

"If your brother wasn't sensible, were you any better?"

"Mom, that's all in the past, right? Do you know what surprised me the most when I came back? You look even younger than a few years ago. At first, I didn't even dare to recognize you."

"Really?"

"Yes!"

Nian Qian quickly reassured her, then turned to the two little ones, "This time, big brother brought you guys some fun stuff. I guarantee you'll love it."

The two kids clapped their hands, "Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother!"

Nian Qian was good at finding his way, and although he hadn't been back in a few years, the roads hadn't changed much. As a technical officer, map-reading and direction-finding were essential skills. He navigated smoothly, and soon the car left the National Highway and entered the city.

As they drove, Nian Qian noticed several patrol cars from the Patrol Bureau passing by. He asked, "Dad, is something happening in the city? Why are there so many patrol cars?"

Nian Fulu explained, "It's the arrangement of the Bureau. They're strengthening security both inside and outside the city, and helping the villagers in the surrounding areas maintain order. It's been quite effective. Over the past year or so, many villagers living in the mountains have moved down, and the Civil Affairs Hall has registered them all."

Nian Qian nodded in agreement and turned to Chen Chuan, "Cousin, I heard that you had something to do with the eradication of the big poison tumor that was Mo Lan Corporation?"

Chen Chuan replied, "I happened to be in the right place at the right time and made a small contribution."

Nian Fulu added, "Your cousin made a great contribution in that matter, which is why he was recommended for his current position."

"That's even more impressive, cousin. You're truly remarkable!"

Nian Qian was full of admiration for Chen Chuan. Although Mo Lan Corporation had retreated from Central City, their remaining influence was not to be taken lightly. Chen Chuan's involvement and his outstanding performance were truly remarkable.

Chen Chuan asked, "I heard that you went overseas on a mission, cousin?"

"Yes!"

Nian Qian's expression became spirited as he spoke about his mission. "I led a newly formed technical unit, and everyone from the soldiers to the officers used the latest biomechatronic implants."

There was no risk of leaking confidential information as the mission had already concluded, and the foreign country should have received the relevant intelligence by now. As long as he didn't reveal specific data, there was no harm in others knowing, and they could make their own speculations.

Yu Wan looked at him with concern and asked, "Qian, do these implants involve replacing parts of the body?"

Nian Qian laughed, "Don't worry, Mom. The implants I used are cultivated alien tissue implants, not the kind that require organ removal. It's like with fighters..." He glanced at Chen Chuan, "Xiao Chuan is a fighter, he should understand."

Chen Chuan nodded, "Aunt, don't worry. Cousin's body hasn't had any organs removed; he's just implanted with some alien tissue. These tissues enhance his physical abilities and information processing capabilities, and they are well-matched with his body, causing minimal alienation and rejection reactions."

Yu Wan didn't understand the specifics of implants and alienation, but she could tell that her son's body was intact, which put her mind at ease.

Nian Qian, however, was secretly amazed because Chen Chuan had hit the nail on the head. He exclaimed, "Cousin, you have a keen eye. If you weren't working at the Administration Bureau, I'd consider writing a report to the higher-ups to have you transferred here."

Yu Wan said, "Nonsense, how dangerous can the battlefield be? We have you as a soldier in the family, and that's enough. Don't try to drag your cousin into this."

Nian Qian smiled and said, "Mom, warfare nowadays is different from the past. We officers are not only commanders but also information processing units, and we are under strict protection."

"During battles, in addition to a small number of elite soldiers, there are also specialized combat organisms that integrate air and ground combat. With the assistance of field organisms for communication and information, inactive consciousness entities help formulate reasonable tactics. It's all about multi-dimensional connections and multi-faceted strikes. The old tactics are no longer effective."

Nian Fulu asked, "Are the old tactics no longer useful?"

In the past, he had fought in trench warfare, with barbed wire trenches and artillery, and behind them were densely packed fortresses. Whichever side attacked first would be at a disadvantage. During that campaign to suppress the rebels, they had to capture each fortress one by one. By the end, his special forces unit had gone through three batches of soldiers, and when they withdrew, more than seventy percent of them were no longer the original troops.

"Well, let me put it this way. Our special forces unit, with the support of field organisms, combat biological weapons, and a small number of airships, can guarantee the annihilation of an entire old-style army regiment on the front line. Moreover, our information and speed are far superior to those of the old military. In addition to frontal combat, we can also carry out infiltration and rear-line sabotage missions. As long as we don't get surrounded, it's not difficult to persist independently for several days."

Chen Chuan seemed to be deep in thought and said, "This is somewhat similar to the elite cavalry of the old imperial family in the Convergence Zone."

"Yes, Xiaochuan, you understand!" Nian Qian praised, "But we all have our strengths, and our special forces unit was initially established to counter the elite cavalry. We've tested it multiple times. However, they have their own combat specialists, and sometimes we'll include fighters during battles."

"Sometimes?"

"Yes, sometimes we don't need to," Nian Qian smiled slightly, a hint of pride in his smile.

Chen Chuan understood that if they didn't use fighters, they would enhance their combat power through implanted body armaments. He guessed that the nation might have made some breakthroughs in biomechatronic implant technology, allowing them to replace fighters in certain situations.

However, based on his understanding from the Defense Department, the most challenging aspect of implants was still the compatibility issue with the recipient's body. Therefore, even with technological advancements, the number of people who could achieve a certain level of fusion should still be limited. Otherwise, the old imperial family would have already utilized this technology by now.

At this moment, the car had already reached the main street within the city. Nian Qian noticed a patrol officer from the Patrol Bureau on the roadside. Whenever the car passed by, someone would raise their hand and salute the vehicle.

Initially, he thought it was because of Nian Fulu, after all, his father was the captain of the Patrol Bureau, and it had been mentioned in the telegrams many times.

But soon, he realized something was amiss. Along the way, there were not only patrol officers but also armed guards who clearly didn't belong to the Patrol Bureau system. They, too, saluted the passing car. If he wasn't mistaken, these guards were from the Civil Affairs Hall. This treatment wasn't just for his father; even if Director Guan Yuming himself came, he wouldn't receive such treatment.

Wait a minute...

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Chuan, who was sitting next to him. A thought that was hard to believe crossed his mind. As they drove further, he noticed that this scene persisted. Suddenly, he felt a surge of heat in his body, wanting to ask but unable to voice the question.

After traveling a certain distance, the off-road vehicle arrived at the residential area of the Patrol Bureau. Here, the number of guards had increased significantly, and his heart began to beat faster.

As the car gradually slowed down, he casually asked, "Cousin, when I was coming here, I saw a newspaper mentioning that the Director of Security and Defense had come to the city. Hey, you also work in the Central City, right? Do you know him?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "That's me, cousin."

Nian Qian's eyes widened, and he unconsciously hit the brakes, causing Nian Fulu's family to lurch forward.

Seeing that they were approaching the street corner, Chen Chuan pushed open the car door and stepped out from the passenger seat. All the guards on the entire street raised their hands in salute, and a rustling sound spread, causing several birds to fly out from the trees on both sides of the road.

Chen Chuan also raised his hand and returned the salute.

Nian Qian noticed that almost all the guards within his line of sight, from the street corner to the end of the street, were saluting Chen Chuan. He was deeply shocked, and with his professional eye, he could see that there were people stationed in certain high places, also saluting in the same manner.

Nian Qian took a breath, "Cousin, you've given me a big surprise." He turned back with a bitter smile, "Dad, Mom, did you know about this?"

Yu Wan smiled and said, "Qian'er, in my eyes, you're all the same."

Nian Fulu remained calm.

"No, it's just... how did he get promoted so quickly?" Nian Qian asked in disbelief.

Yu Wan spoke softly, "Because... your cousin is a fighter."
