Chapter 915: The Swarm Disperses
The sea salamander's half-body was swiftly swimming in the seawater.
A thin protective membrane formed over its severed surface, sealing the wound and preventing further loss of internal organs.
Then, beneath the membrane, its internal organs, bones, and muscles began to rapidly regenerate, and within a short time, two tiny limbs protruded from the swelling mass, quickly thickening and forming new legs. The membrane also gradually became tougher and more resilient.
Within a few minutes, it seemed, the salamander would be fully regenerated.
However, during this process, its body gradually shrank, and the once-flashing light on its body dimmed significantly, indicating that this transformation was not without a cost.
As its limbs regenerated, its speed increased once more. But just as it thought it had escaped danger, its body suddenly jerked to a halt, its tail grasped tightly by a hand. The energy expenditure during regeneration had made it sluggish, and by the time it reacted, it was too late.
A powerful, unstoppable force then lifted it into the air, breaking through the water's surface, and without losing momentum, it was hurled into the sky once more.
The sea salamander undoubtedly sensed the imminent danger, its eyes turning crimson, and a sizzling sound emanated from its throat. Spines rapidly grew and protruded from its skin, followed by a tremor as it shot downward, trailing radiant smoke.
However, despite their seemingly formidable appearance, these spines were actually quite feeble. When they struck the figure below, they were halted by a surrounding layer of white-golden light, quickly dissolving and dissipating.
Chen Chuan stood on the sea's surface, his body enveloped in radiant energy, holding a sword at his side with a composed demeanor. He watched the sea salamander hovering in the air and raised his sword, making a sweeping slash towards the creature.
This move was more of a gesture than an actual attack, as no real force was exerted.
However, the sea salamander, upon seeing his action, was strongly stimulated by the memory of the previous strike. Its entire body tensed, and the radiant smoke that emanated from it was desperately gathered to block the path of the swinging sword. This action, however, left other areas of its body temporarily vulnerable.
At that moment, with a whoosh, a small, radiant, prismatic object shot from the side and penetrated the salamander's skull, entering as a small hole but rapidly spinning and tumbling inside. When it burst out from the other end, it exploded into a massive cavity, nearly splitting open half of its brain, and spewing out a large amount of tissue and organs.
The salamander's massive body first twitched violently a few times and then went limp, falling from the sky and slamming into the sea's surface with a loud splash, sending up a huge wave.
Chen Chuan gazed at the sea salamander floating on the water, its eyes dimmed, but he could still sense the tenacious life force within its body, its heart beating strongly. Even the blasted-open brain was slowly healing.
This time, he didn't intend to destroy it directly. Since this active consciousness entity was not a contaminant, it could be preserved as evidence. As for destroying half of it earlier, that was to prevent any changes during his pursuit of the other half.
He watched these changes, thinking to himself that the active consciousness entity of the Union indeed possessed advanced technology. No wonder the world's countries could maintain control over the Central City with such entities.
This entity, when fighting him, relied solely on its physical instincts and had not unleashed its true potential. Furthermore, it was a prematurely matured organism. If it had been given sufficient time to grow or learn more, its combat power would be far greater than what he had witnessed.
Even the abilities it had displayed earlier, which were the result of his encounter, could quickly breach its high-capacity field defense using spiritual impact and other methods. Then, by focusing on key strikes, it could be taken down swiftly. If another fighter were to face it, they might not be able to subdue it quickly and might even risk it escaping.
This creature was even more formidable underwater. If it stayed in the sea, it would be impossible to defeat it in one go. If it then periodically emerged to launch attacks on land, the damage it could inflict on the Central City would be unimaginable.
Chen Chuan bent down, picked up the creature, and looked up at the sky. With a kick, he surged through the water, creating a massive wave, and then another, propelling himself into the air. With another step, he blasted forward, covering a significant distance. After a while, another boom sounded as he returned the way he had come.
Flying directly would have been extremely energy-consuming and unnecessary. By harnessing the force field to assist in stepping on air, the process was much easier, requiring less energy, albeit with more noise. The speed was not noticeably faster than on the ground, but the advantage was the ability to ignore terrain.
Meanwhile, Mr. Chi finally entered the tourist submarine after its routine maintenance and departed through the underwater passage, this time utilizing full power without concern for future usage, resulting in a much faster speed than before.
And he himself donned an external implant diving suit and took anti-pressure medication, so that he could abandon ship and escape at any time should the submarine encounter problems.
After more than an hour, the submarine arrived at a ferry, where he was picked up and boarded. This was a regular ferry that frequently traveled back and forth in the area, usually delivering goods to the Far North Port.
This time, he would hide in the cargo hold, first heading north, where he would hide in a safe house for a while before figuring out a way to return to the Linark Federation.
However, not long after he boarded, two strong and powerful arms firmly held him, and a force penetrated his entire body, causing his body to stiffen, and even his eyes couldn't move for a moment.
But after a while, Mr. Chi suddenly became powerless, and his head drooped down. The person controlling him next to him couldn't help but change his expression, and after a detailed inspection, he left with a solemn expression and immediately went to the cabin, instructing the telegraph operator to send a telegram.
In the underground area of the Ocean Zone, after the telegraph operator received this message, he immediately ran to where Specialist Cao was located and said, "Specialist, the target has lost vital signs on the spot."
Specialist Cao showed no expression, took the telegram and looked at it, saying, "I understand. Tell them to bring the body back intact."
"Yes."
Specialist Cao looked at the desk, where the specific information of each member of the Union delegation was spread out, and Mr. Chi was one of his key focuses.
The sudden death of this person was actually expected, because these company representatives who held secrets had a special implant in their bodies, and there might also be spiritual entities attached by fighters within the company. Once they encountered a threat that they couldn't escape, they would immediately take their lives.
These people would never reveal specific information, but it didn't matter. This person had a certain value in himself. Now, it was impossible to do anything to the Original Person Company or the Union, but it could be used to expose some of the domestic branches and find a way to uproot them!
In the Radiant Zone, within the Council Building, the Full Chancellor sat in his office, surrounded by anxious assistants and tense security personnel.
The assistants were sweating profusely, unable to use the interface token, with phones not connecting and telegrams not sending out. Just then, the armed personnel responsible for external protection had scattered, and many armed personnel were rushing in.
At this moment, another assistant rushed in, saying in a state of panic, "Speaker, it's the Processing Bureau people. They've gone crazy. They're blocking the Council Building and arresting members of parliament!"
At this moment, the Full Chancellor became calm. He said in a deep voice, "They're not crazy. They're just doing what they've always wanted to do." Looking out at the outer wall, he slowly said, "It seems we've lost."
In the 619th book, the 1st bar, the 1st look, the 1st see, the 1st mistake, the 1st version!
At this moment, his personal security guard, Wu Mian, entered from outside and approached him, saying in a steady voice, "Speaker, the people from the Processing Bureau this time are very elite. Even with the advantage of terrain, the armed forces in the building can only hold out for ten minutes at most. I'll escort you out through the secret passage."
The Full Chancellor turned to look at them, seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him. After a moment's thought, he said, "Then let's go. We'll take my private elevator."
Wu Mian came forward and supported his arm, saying, "Speaker, forgive me." He then quickly left the hall and arrived at the private elevator door, where six security guards were waiting.
After field detection, everyone entered the elevator, and once it started, the elevator quickly descended into the underground through a hidden and sturdy safety shaft.
After reaching a certain floor, the elevator doors opened, revealing a secret passage ahead. On both sides, two large humanoid external implants were crouching with their backs to them, their surfaces displaying a texture similar to muscle fibers, with joints and vital areas supported and protected by bone-like structures.
These implants were ordered by the Full Chancellor at a high price from the Original Person Company, custom-made for him and Wu Mian. These external implants were the maximum level of implants he could accept.
As they approached, the two implants spontaneously sensed the matching life field, and the backs slowly split open.
The Full Chancellor threw away his cane, walked forward, endured the nausea as he opened his mouth. He watched as a vascular object entered his mouth and, with Wu Mian's help, entered the shell. The slit slowly closed.
He stood up immediately, instantly transforming into a person nearly two meters tall. His legs and feet became agile.
At the same time, Wu Mian also put on his external implant, which wrapped around him layer upon layer. However, his implant was different from the Full Chancellor's; it wasn't for assisting movement but purely for combat. A faint energy glow flowed on its surface, infused with high-energy nutrients that greatly enhanced his combat power.
With this, he was confident in leading people to break out, and he asked, "Speaker, where to? The White Bird Zone?"
The Full Chancellor's voice buzzed from within the implanted shell, saying, "Not the White Bird Zone. It's probably blocked. Let's go to the Fusion Land."
