Chapter 528 Both Ends
Although Commissioner Liang was not satisfied with the result, it was within his expectations.
After all, the Government Affairs Office is mostly just a manager and implementer, and specific decision proposals must ultimately be approved by the Central City Council after they are put forward.
However, there are various interests represented behind the parliament, and some seemingly radical plans are difficult to coordinate and pass.
In fact, more than ten years ago, such a proposal would not have been put forward at all, nor would it be put on the table for discussion in parliament. It was only in recent years that the Dashun government gradually took control of the situation, and the Central City Council backed down.
But the key to all this lies in the handling of this incident.
If this crisis can be successfully resolved and overcome, the voice and prestige of the Jibei Provincial Government will undoubtedly be elevated to a higher level, and many decisions from the upper echelons will be able to continue to move forward. Otherwise, its prestige will suffer a severe blow, and if things go wrong, the situation that was previously opened up with great difficulty will regress.
But this is a problem that the central city government has to deal with and must face.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "How are the various companies doing?"
The female assistant said, "Enterprises and related companies from all countries have agreed to cooperate, but the most unstable points lie in these few areas..."
She pointed with her pointer, pointing out some places one by one, "Ferris Wheel Company, Lianwei Chongyu Company, Bolun Company, Green Source Ecology Company, etc. have all had obvious abnormal behavior..."
Commissioner Liang took a look and found that the common feature of these companies was that most of them were from abroad, while a small number of domestic companies themselves also had a large amount of multinational capital involved.
On the contrary, the branches of some of the world's largest companies seem to be relatively quiet. This is understandable, as even if these large companies had an idea, they wouldn't act personally. Instead, they use agents. Furthermore, since they already occupy the top of their niche, there's no need to do anything extra.
He said in a deep voice, "I'm not worried about those companies themselves. The General Affairs Bureau and the Temporary Special Operations Committee have already promised to share information with us at any time, so we can handle any problems at any time.
What I'm worried about is their active consciousness. According to the latest assessment from the front, in addition to the two that were dealt with by the Fusion Border and the Processing Bureau last time, there should be another one lurking in the central city. If they are targeting these, the damage they will cause will be difficult to estimate."
He looked at the female assistant, "Still can't you feel it?"
A dark mist flickered in the female assistant's eyes. She shook her head and said, "I can't feel where it is."
"This shows that this opponent is very cunning."
Commissioner Liang reached out and moved his hand, and holes appeared inside the central city on the light curtain. These were simulations of possible cracks, and there were a large number of them.
He looked at it and said, "One is already troublesome enough. Once the two worlds get close, perhaps there will be beings from the other side trying to come over. We must not let them do anything, otherwise it will cause the entire defense system to collapse."
He turned around and asked, "What did that person say?"
The female assistant said, "He said he would be there on time."
Commissioner Liang sighed, "I hope so." He suddenly remembered something, "What has Chen Bitong been doing recently?"
The female assistant said, "No movement."
Commissioner Liang thought about it and realized that the Ministry of Defense actually wanted to transfer Chen Bitong away from the central city at this critical juncture, but Speaker Quan disagreed. He believed that under such a dangerous situation, the central city urgently needed a prestigious and capable person like Chen Bitong to stabilize people's hearts and ensure safety.
The Ministry of Defense cannot but consider his request. Several exchanges have been delayed again and again, and there is still no clear conclusion. At present, it seems that there will be no transfer order during the female mantis's splitting and reproduction period.
He knew that this was still a continuation of the struggle between the two factions, but Speaker Quan's insistence was not necessarily a bad thing. If handled well, this might be an opportunity, but it might require some price to be paid.
He looked up and asked again, "Where's Captain Chen?"
The female assistant replied, "He has been on standby since the training session ended. Yesterday, he summoned his team from the Interchange to the Central City."
Commissioner Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Adjust his mission priority. I need Captain Chen to be in a key position at a critical moment."
The female assistant said, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
In the underground city, next to a tunnel on the edge of a broken collapse, there is a group of solidly built underground residences, with outposts and fortifications set up on the periphery.
On the surface, this place looks no different from the ordinary forces in the underground city, but in fact, it is a base set up by a resistance organization in the underground city of the central city.
At this time, in a spacious brick room, under bright lights, Guan Xiaohui and some young people were receiving guidance from a teacher and learning the resonance field technology.
The resistance organization's resonators are all trained by themselves. They will gather some talented members together to study and finally implant resonance implants.
Guan Xiaohui is one of the better ones among this group. After all, she attended a very good middle school. Compared with other students, she has a better foundation and understands things faster. Of course, the most important thing is talent. If you don’t have talent, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless.
When her class was over, she was about to go back to her room, but a member told her that the person in charge wanted to see her for something. Without putting down her things, she went to the area where the person in charge usually stayed.
When she arrived at the door, she shouted "report" and was called in, but found Zhen Ping was also inside, nodding and greeting her.
The person in charge was sitting opposite. He looked to be in his forties, with well-developed muscles, a strong physique, thick finger joints, a face full of wrinkles, and dark skin, like a dock worker who worked hard all day.
She bowed and said, "Hello, Team Leader Yu."
Team Leader Yu said gently, "Xiaohui, please sit down. I have something to tell you."
After Guan Xiaohui sat down, he said seriously, "The team has a mission for you soon. You need to keep it confidential and promise not to disclose it to anyone."
Zhen Ping and Guan Xiaohui both underwent rigorous training after joining the resistance organization. Knowing the weight of this sentence, they both nodded seriously.
Team Leader Yu said, "According to information from our colleagues in the government, the field creature Shrimp Mother in Central City will split in a few days."
After Zhen Ping and Guan Xiaohui digested the news, he continued, "This is the unique reproduction method of the scorpion mother. In theory, each split offspring has the potential to give rise to a scorpion mother.
So this time, our branch has been given a mission to try to obtain one of the splinter bodies. This will greatly aid our resistance efforts, and we might be able to use it to build our own central city."
At the end, his voice was very passionate.
Zhen Ping and Guan Xiaohui were also a little excited. After calming down a little, Zhen Ping asked with some concern: "Team Leader Yu, do we have enough strength?"
Although there is more than one branch in the central city, according to her understanding, they can only use a hundred people at most, lack weapons, and have few high-end combat capabilities. Second-level fighters like her are already the backbone of the branch.
Just think about it and you will know how important the split offspring of the mother shrimp is to the central city. The defense must be extremely tight. There may be other forces eyeing it. How can they get it?
Team Leader Yu said, "Don't worry about how to get it. The capture will be handled by our colleagues sent from above. All we have to do is transfer the captured offspring to the underground city, and this is exactly where we can help the higher-ups."
Zhen Ping said, "But Team Leader Yu, there are many forces in the underground city. If someone targets us, it will be difficult for us to complete this mission."
Team leader Yu extended his hand and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me."
He sat forward a little and lowered his voice, saying, "We will package the items in advance and hand them over to the logistics system in downtown. They will then deliver them to a certain place. This will be indirect, efficient, and inconspicuous. We will also deliver them to several more locations to distract attention.
You two will be the ones to retrieve the items. After you've taken them, follow the directions I'll give you later and quickly leave Central City to move them to a safe place."
He said solemnly, "This matter is of great significance, and it only comes once in decades. I chose you because you have only been in Central City for a short time and have not come into contact with many people. I can trust you completely. Zhen Ping, you are a fighter, and Xiao Hui, you have a great talent for resonance.
The two of you complement each other perfectly, so the team feels you are the most suitable."
Seeing that the two did not speak immediately, he continued, "Well, this mission is quite dangerous. If you feel unconfident or have any concerns, you can speak up."
Zhen Ping said, "Team Leader Yu, I can do it."
Guan Xiaohui also said: "I can do it too, but..."
Team Leader Yu looked at them and smiled, saying, "Well, don't rush to agree. Think carefully. This mission is very dangerous."
Zhen Ping looked up and said, "Team Leader Yu, I've made up my mind." Guan Xiaohui looked at her determined expression, pinched the corner of her clothes, and nodded.
Team Leader Yu smiled with satisfaction. "Then you should get ready." He looked at Guan Xiaohui. "Xiaohui, someone will help you with the final implantation procedure shortly. Afterwards, I'll have Lao Mei give you some expedited training."
Guan Xiaohui said doubtfully, "Team Leader, if the mother shrimp gives birth to disorder, then my resonance technique may not be useful."
Team Leader Yu said, "Have you forgotten what you're transferring? With something like this in your hands, as long as you know exactly what it is, even if it's isolated, you can still make good use of it and far surpass the average Resonator."
Guan Xiaohui actually had some questions in her mind, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
At this time, Team Leader Yu looked at Zhen Ping and said, "The team will teach you a breathing method for diving underwater. If the situation goes wrong, it will depend on you to get out with your belongings."
He said seriously, "Because the news came late, our time is very limited, so I ask you to master it as soon as possible within these two days."
