Chapter 531 Split
Weiguang District in the central city, the central coordination center, and the independent combat command center of the Ministry of Defense.
A voice sounded in the hall:
"The mother scorpion has entered the final stage of preparation for splitting."
"It is estimated that the first split will occur at midnight on the 22nd. Countdown: 12 hours and 32 minutes."
"All departments and emergency forces have entered a state of full alert."
Commissioner Liang was standing on the second floor of the hall, looking at the image of the entire central city displayed on the light screen.
Below him, in the command room, liaison and communications personnel, resonance technicians, and some troop commanders were coming and going.
When the split officially begins, they will immediately transmit information from the Government Affairs Office, the Processing Bureau, the City Patrol, and various local forces and emergency response teams in the central city, summarize and analyze it, and then direct and issue orders.
Commissioner Liang's expression was very serious at the moment, because he knew that although the major companies in Central City did not know the exact time of the division and reproduction of the mother shrimp, they could estimate the approximate time period from the conditions shown by the mother shrimp.
It goes without saying that these companies are also making preparations and waiting for the opportunity to take action.
But they must guard against it strictly. As the first split of the original body, not even a single one of them is allowed to leak out!
but……
His eyes were deep. His opponents were not just those companies. There was also a bigger and more dangerous enemy. He just hoped that the previous arrangements would work.
Chen Chuan had already left the Xuangong Building and was driving his Gade car towards the mansion.
At this time, he looked outside and saw that the flickering in the sky was still continuing and becoming more intense.
In fact, after such a long period of brewing, this movement has reached the point where even ordinary people can see it clearly.
However, because of the neon light curtain that existed in the sky, it was not that conspicuous, and the people were not in the mood to care about those things.
Because the gradually increasing number of insects on the street almost formed an insect rain, almost blocking the vision, and even spraying medicine could not stop them.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of insect corpses like a carpet. At this moment, the city cleaning workers on both sides were shoveling them into large buckets and then dumping them onto the trucks.
Everyone walking hurriedly on the street was wearing thick clothes that covered their entire bodies.
The light screen began to repeatedly notify the public not to go out, and told them that a larger biological tide would soon be coming, and that there might also be a magnetic storm phenomenon that was rarely seen in decades.
The Central City Government Office will later dispatch armed forces to deal with the creatures that have been wreaking havoc in the city for the past few days, and requires the public to stay in safe places or follow patrol convoys to evacuate to underground fortifications for shelter.
At this moment, shopping malls and public places in the central city have begun to be blocked and closed, and patrol cars are driving on the streets.
Ten minutes later, he arrived outside the house. The place was already fully equipped with an electric fence covering the top, barbed wire and roadblocks at the door. As the power switch was turned on, the car slowly drove past.
After parking the car in the garage, he entered the living room. Three fully armed team members were waiting there. When they saw him come in, they saluted in unison: "Captain!"
Chen Chuan nodded and returned the greeting, "Are you all ready?"
Qin Qingque replied: "Captain, everything is ready. The defenses inside and outside the house are well arranged. The three of us can go out at any time."
Chen Chuan nodded, and at this moment a prompt sound appeared on the screen. Seeing that it was a voice message from Counselor Pei, he clicked it.
Pei's voice was heard immediately:
“It could happen between tonight and tomorrow morning.
Captain Chen, if the information is interrupted, you can try to communicate with the nearest field creature according to the contact information map I gave you before. At that time, the Defense Department may have a task to assign to you.
If you are unable to receive messages, you can try to contact the nearest response team.
I'll send you the location of the response force in Wuding District, so remember to receive it."
Chen Chuan took a look at the location display sent by Counselor Pei and saw that there was a response team exactly two kilometers away. In this way, the field creatures they rented could contact there directly.
After sending this location to the three team members, he said, "The split period is estimated to be around today or tomorrow. You should rest well so you can prepare for what's next."
"Yes, Captain!"
After Chen Chuan gave his instructions, he left the hall and returned to his bedroom on the fourth floor. After washing up, he sat down.
He placed the Xuejun Sword in front of himself, then took out all the hot and cold weapons he carried with him and wiped them one by one.
After the mother shrimps start to reproduce and the Heavenly Gate opens, whether it is the civilian fighters, the powerful groups, or those companies with ulterior motives, they will surely meet their end.
The opponent he encountered this time might be stronger than any he had ever encountered before, but this was exactly what he needed and expected.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was nine o'clock in the evening, with only three hours left before the splitting stage of the scorpion.
A voice came from the command hall: "The field signal is beginning to decay. Prepare to enter the signal disengagement state. The three-minute countdown begins..."
Everyone in the hall below on the first floor stopped what they were doing.
Three minutes passed quickly. The light in the surrounding area dimmed for a moment, but after a few breaths, it returned to normal. Then a calm and serious voice rang out:
"The sentry tower is at your service. When the Mother Shrimp splits, I will take full control of the field connections between all parties."
This is the Defense Department's active consciousness body, the "sentry tower", which is responsible for taking over the internal and external field information communication during the period of the split of the mother magpie.
At the same time, the scattered field creatures in various areas transmitted the images back through the airship signal station set up above, and within just five minutes, they returned to their previous level.
Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice, "Sentry Tower, immediately verify the deployment of all parties and check the personnel status in all key positions."
"The sentry tower received the information and is currently checking..."
Chen Chuan put down the last weapon in his hand and looked at the time displayed on the screen. It was now ten ten.
But as if due to some kind of attraction, his spirit was becoming increasingly active. This was likely because the field power began to shrink as the mother scorpion gradually entered the reproductive stage, causing the barrier or some kind of protection against the other world to gradually weaken.
If we continue in this way, it will match the time given by Counselor Pei.
He then put away his weapon, took out some medicine, and swallowed it.
After entering the third limit, he rarely used drugs. Not only was the effect of the drugs themselves reduced, but as his strength increased, there was no longer any need for it.
However, we don’t know how many opponents we will encounter this time, nor how strong the enemies will be, so we should be fully prepared.
After taking the medicine, he did nothing else but regulated his breathing and waited quietly.
Another hour later, a rustling sound suddenly came from the boundary near my ears, as if the field information became extremely unstable. After lasting for about ten seconds, the boundary completely disappeared.
He looked at the time on his watch: 11:55.
He clicked on the Netherworld pass again, logged into the frequency band of the creatures in the field within the mansion, and reconnected with the three team members downstairs.
Yuan Qiyuan's voice came from inside: "Captain, has it started? Why does it feel like there's no movement?"
Chen Chuan stood up and walked to the window. The neon lights outside were still on, as if nothing had happened, but he could clearly feel that a powerful spirit seemed to be surging everywhere.
He said, “No, it has already begun.”
Just as he said this, the light in most of the city suddenly dimmed, and the gorgeous world outside the boundary almost disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a seemingly cold feeling permeated into the mind.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared outside the window. He looked up. It was still night, but the sky had become brighter, but with a hint of coldness and darkness. It felt like facing the sky of the Blending Land, as if at this moment, the Blending Land extended here.
In just a moment, a ray of bright red light appeared in the distant sky, as if there was a crack in the sky and thick blood leaked out.
He stared at that place. He could feel that although the invisible barrier in the sky had been broken, it was still barely maintaining, blocking the invasion from the outside world, but the gate of heaven had been pushed open a crack.
Inside the Defense Department's command hall, a voice rang out from the sentry tower: "Time, 00:03, the first wave of the Shrimp Mother's splitting has begun, with a total of seven split bodies... Now reporting the locations of the split bodies..."
On the image of the central city area in front of him, each location was marked with light. These split bodies were located in Fengde District, Shenwei District, Yinglu District, Jiyang District and other places, and three of them were concentrated in Jiyang District.
"The Government Affairs Office has shared this information. Response teams and emergency response teams from all regions have been dispatched... Estimated response time: 45 minutes. The second wave of disruption is expected to begin in one hour and thirty-five minutes."
From the image, you can see the marked routes, as well as the time and distance displayed at the same time. As the team approaches, the distance marking is gradually shortening.
"Warning, large-scale resonance field monitoring and intrusion detected."
Only a short while had passed, and suddenly dense red dots appeared on the originally calm scene, and in just a short moment, they almost covered the entire central city.
Commissioner Liang looked serious.
This situation clearly shows that a large number of resonators are using private field creatures, as well as active and inactive consciousnesses, to try to spy on the government's arrangements. There are even many technically sophisticated resonators trying to hijack the shared field signal on the airship.
He knew that this was done by major companies in order to find out the distribution locations of various response forces and analyze the combat effectiveness of each emergency team in order to prepare for the next action.
But they have already prepared countermeasures against this.
