Chapter 513 Foresight
The Gard car drove along the road to the market. Since this was only the outermost area and was still some distance away from the area where the Elephant Gang was actually entrenched, the gang members in charge of guarding it just took a few casual glances and did not come up to ask any questions.
However, after driving along the middle road for a while, the security became gradually tighter. We could see walls appearing in front of us, and small fortress-like buildings could be vaguely seen in the distance behind us.
Pits and trenches were dug along the main road sections, connected by a suspension bridge and removable planks, with removed roadblocks nearby.
This should be to prevent armored vehicles from rushing in directly from outside. Chen Chuan noticed that there was an electrified barrier installed above the wall, which might be used to guard against some biological weapons.
But not to mention the combat creatures of Wing Blade Company, even if they are mass-produced biological weapons, such a barrier can only withstand two or three at most. If dozens or hundreds of them rush in together, they can be torn apart in an instant. At that time, we can only rely on the sturdy buildings inside.
There are scattered guardhouses on the high ground on both sides of the road, with gang members standing guard on them with crossbows in their hands and pistols on their waists.
He had a good eye and could tell that these people's weapons were at least 90% new and seemed to have only been used a few times.
This shows that someone was providing them with weapons during this period. Judging from the situation some time ago, the supporter behind them should be Lianwei Chongyu.
Under the strong pressure from the government, Lianwei Zhongyu and Ferris Wheel are no longer in conflict, but Lianwei Zhongyu does not seem to have given up the support of the Gang, and still maintains a fulcrum in Yinglu District that can pose a threat to Ferris Wheel Company.
However, the Swordfish Gang is composed of foreigners and has very close ties with the Ferris Wheel Company, while the Elephant Gang, which is mainly composed of Sheni employees and their descendants, should have a mutually beneficial relationship with Lianwei Chongyu.
At this time, Ale put his hand on his neck and said something. The person in front who had tried to come up and ask questions went back, and the car drove in smoothly.
When Chen Chuan got in the car just now, he noticed that there were some bulges in the braid at the back of A'er's head, which were traces of the implant. Judging from this part, this young man was actually a resonator.
He asked, "Ah, you call Miss Deng "Ajie." Are you related to her?"
Ale said, "No, but she is closer than family. Although I am a Sheni, I have always followed Sister. She taught me the techniques of the Resonator and brought me into the gang. Now I am responsible for taking care of Sister and helping her with things."
Chen Chuan nodded. It seemed that Miss Deng herself also resonated with him.
After the car passed the bridge safely, it entered a fairly busy inner commercial street with bars, tea houses, dance halls and other places on both sides. At the far end stood a sacred tower with very Sheni characteristics.
Most of the people walking on the street had Elephant Gang tattoos, many had cheap implants, and most of them were probably ordinary gang members.
"Just stop here." When they arrived in front of a teahouse, Ale said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, no one dares to steal cars here."
Chen Chuan slowly parked the car and followed Ale into the teahouse and to a private room that had been reserved long ago.
Ah Le used his credentials to notify him again, "Mr. Chen, wait a moment. Sister will be out soon."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, he heard whispers outside, and then saw a red-haired woman in her early twenties walk into the box.
She has fair skin and delicate makeup on her face. She wears big earrings and a sleeveless top that reveals her healthy white shoulders and well-proportioned arms. She is wearing a long white gauze skirt.
After she came in and saw Chen Chuan, she seemed to feel relieved. After sitting down with a proper demeanor, she said apologetically, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I can only meet Mr. Chen here."
Chen Chuan said: "I understand."
There might be spies from the Swordfish Gang and Ferris Wheel outside the market. If Deng Xin is as she said, then it is indeed very dangerous.
At this moment, a large cat with gray and white fur suddenly came in from outside and ran to Deng Xin's side. She immediately leaned over and hugged it, coaxed it a few times, and then put it aside.
Chen Chuan looked at the cat for a few seconds and could tell that it was no ordinary cat. The rhythm of its movements clearly showed a special force.
The waiter then brought the sweet tea that the Sheni people loved the most, which was specially prepared with brown sugar and milk. Deng Xin took it, held it in both hands, and handed it to Chen Chuan.
"Mr. Chen, please have some tea."
Chen Chuandao thanked him and took it.
He glanced at Deng Xin's features and asked, "Is Miss Deng a foreigner?"
Deng Xin brushed her hair with her hand. "My father is from Dashun, and my mother is from Huihe Island. My sister and I have lived there since we were young, so we can be considered locals."
Chen Chuan said, "Ms. Deng, you said you worked in the intelligence department of Ferris Wheel Company?"
Deng Xin said softly, "Yes. Ferris Wheel Company gave a lot of special funds to foreign schools in the early years. My sister and I both received these scholarships because of our excellent academic performance, and were later recruited into the Ferris Wheel Company."
My sister and I were both assigned to the intelligence department, but not in the same group. I worked there as an intelligence secretary assistant for four years.
Chen Chuan saw that she was so young, so she should have joined the company when she was in her teens at most. This meant that the sisters' academic performance was indeed very good.
Deng Xin said: "My sister is more talented than me and studies harder than me. She has been exposed to some secrets, but she has also been implanted with some controlled implants.
At this moment, the big cat meowed from below and jumped onto her. She hugged it again, stroking it slowly and saying, "I originally thought I would continue working in the intelligence department, and maybe one day I would become the head of intelligence, but..."
At this point, a hint of palpitations and fear subconsciously flashed in her eyes. "I remember it was a rainy day, with a storm at sea. My sister came running towards me, soaking wet. She told me she saw my name on the plan and told me to hurry up..."
Chen Chuan said: "Plan?"
Deng Xin nodded and said, "It was only after listening to my sister's explanation that I learned that there has always been a legendary purge plan within the Ferris Wheel Company.
That was a list provided by Wu Qi, an active consciousness cultivated by the company. It was said that it could eliminate some targets that were harmful to the Ferris Wheel Company in advance.
Every once in a while, a list will be compiled, and the company will remove the people listed on it based on their names.”
After hearing what she said, Chen Chuan suddenly understood and all his previous doubts were solved. He nodded unconsciously. No wonder, if it was a list given by an active consciousness, then it would make sense.
He thought for a moment and asked again, "Is it just a list?" There are many people in the world with the same name, and a name alone may not be of much use.
"I'm not sure..." Deng Xin thought for a moment. "I just heard from my sister that there's such a list, but active consciousnesses might have additional ways of identifying them."
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, then looked at her and said, "I have a question. Miss Deng, since you're on the list, your sister must have seen it before the company. So how could your sister have let you know so easily? I'm afraid they'd have apprehended your sister or arrested you right away."
Deng Xin hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's because my sister and I have had a very special ability since we were young. My sister can see some scenes related to herself half a day or a day in advance, and I always have a premonition of danger.
Because of this ability, we two sisters can avoid danger time and time again and do what we want to do. On the day my sister ran over, I felt very cold..."
Chen Chuan didn't say anything.
Deng Xin seemed afraid that he wouldn't believe her, so she said in a very serious tone, "Mr. Chen, I'm not lying. Please believe me."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I believe you."
Just like people who are born with talents, some people in this world have unique sensing abilities. He feels that this may be caused by the big bombardment getting closer and closer, and the two worlds gradually getting closer. Perhaps in the future, such people may gradually emerge.
He then asked, “How did you leave in the end?”
Deng Xin said: "My sister has always thought ahead. She had already thought about how to leave before joining the Ferris Wheel. She had been preparing for the withdrawal plan for several years. On that day, no one knew the list yet, so it was not difficult for us to leave.
It’s just that if we go together, we’ll be too conspicuous, so my sister asked me to go first and she’ll follow. She’ll message me when we get to a safe place, but I haven’t heard from her since…” When she said this, her expression was gloomy.
Chen Chuan thought about it and realized that Miss Deng’s sister held a higher position than her, so it would be difficult for her to escape alone. She said this at the time, probably just to let her sister get away.
He looked at Deng Xin and said, "Ms. Deng, this ability is undoubtedly very important to you. Are you telling me so easily?"
Deng Xin said, "I actually hesitated, but I knew I wouldn't be able to gain Mr. Chen's trust if I didn't tell him. And after I asked Ale to find Mr. Chen, I didn't feel too dangerous or nervous, so I decided to give it a try."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly. Deng Xin's ability to hide until now must have some reason. He then asked, "Did Miss Deng come to the Elephant Gang after leaving the Ferris Wheel?"
"For a while, I was hiding outside. Then, by chance, I met Tu Nai. I told him about my situation. He didn't think I was a burden, so he took me to live with the Elephant Gang. I haven't left since then."
Chen Chuan looked at her and said, "The Elephant Gang should be a relatively safe place. Miss Deng, you suddenly came to me again now. Is it because you feel something? Do you feel that the Elephant Gang is no longer safe?"
"Yes, I don't think the situation is good," Deng Xin said with a look of fear. "Just today, I had that feeling again..."
