Chapter 532: Sky Gap
At 12:17 am on April 22, resonance technicians from multiple companies and their hired resonance users began to continuously invade the government's platform to search for information.
On the other hand, a large number of people who sympathized with the Central City Government also fought back, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle of offense and defense on the field.
However, even without the space of the Ximu to borrow, the government still maintained the situation by relying on its absolute resources and home advantage.
It was simply because the field's attack and defense had caused a large amount of field communication resources to be occupied, resulting in intermittent holes in many places on the light screen, indicating that the field signal was temporarily lost during that period of time, and there was no complete monitoring.
The female assistant placed her hand on the boundary token, as if listening to something. After a moment, she looked up and said, "Commissioner, the Government Affairs Office has requested that the Ministry of Defense deploy more inactive consciousnesses."
Commissioner Liang said: "It is not the right time to reject their application."
This is only the first split of the Mother Shrimp, and it is far from the most uncontrollable moment. His spare inactive consciousness will be used at the most critical moment.
Because the companies were only testing the waters at the moment and no one had sent anyone out to snatch them, it only took an hour for the emergency response teams in each region to find and recover the first wave of fission bodies.
The voice from the sentry tower then rang out: "It has been confirmed that all the first wave of fission bodies have been captured, without any omissions."
After hearing this news, everyone in the command hall looked a little more relaxed. After all, this was a good start.
Commissioner Liang still had that serious expression on his face, because he knew it was far from the time to relax. At the beginning, the number of offspring of the mother magpie was relatively small, only in the single digits.
The most likely location for it to appear was the central city, which had been estimated in advance, and since there were no major obstacles, action could be taken quickly.
But things will be different next. As the waves increase, the number of offspring split from the mother shrimp will gradually increase, and there will be more and more places that cannot be taken care of. It is bound to become gradually out of control. It can be said that it will become more and more chaotic as time goes by.
There is another point that needs attention, that is, when the mother shrimp is in the fission and reproduction period, even if the fission offspring are recovered one by one, the world cracks that spread out will not disappear.
This would require them to place a certain number of personnel or guards near each rift, which would also dilute their strength.
Once certain companies and groups have collected the data, they will definitely seize the opportunity to seize the split bodies, and that will be a real tough battle.
At this time, an internal civil servant walked up to him, saluted, and handed him a document.
Commissioner Liang took it and took a look. It was a report issued by the "Sentry Tower", which estimated that the third wave of fission bodies would reach more than twenty, and the number would increase in subsequent waves.
This was inevitable. To reduce excessive fluctuations in concentration, the original large fragments were modulated to become a larger number of relatively small individuals. However, the increase in number also brought another problem, which was the relatively cumbersome and difficult recovery.
He thought to himself that he hoped the preparations he had made before would be able to cope with the next situation.
An hour and a half passed quickly, and it was 1:39 in the morning. The mother shrimp split for the second time, and this time it had nine split bodies. The sentry tower immediately gave the accurate location and estimated recovery time.
This time it was still relatively smooth. The information war in the outer field was still going on, but the frequency of attack and defense was obviously much lower than before.
This is not because the other side has given up, but because the investigating companies and groups have gradually obtained the information they need. After all, in addition to stealing information, the spies arranged by various forces in various regions can also obtain information through manual observation.
At 2:20, the second wave of recycling ended.
Commissioner Liang rubbed the corners of his eyes on both sides of his nose. Then he saw the female assistant handing him a cup of tea, and he took it with a thank you.
I looked at the countdown above and saw that the third wave would be at 3:25.
He said in a deep voice, "The third wave of sub-shrimp mothers will enter a turbulent phase. The outer field will completely fail, and those things that are in the grooves will also emerge." He took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you feel anything over there?"
The female assistant shook her head.
Commissioner Liang looked at the steam rising from the teacup and said slowly, "It seems to be hidden very deeply. We must be patient."
Above the sea surface of Yinglu District Port, a ship that was originally near the coast was approaching the shore.
Gong Ying Changxiu and a group of Fenglin Pavilion disciples stood on the deck of the ship, holding long swords at their waists. Behind them was the cloud light like the sunset, and the sea breeze blew their ancient fighting costumes.
Gong Ying Changxiu closed his eyes and felt it. At this time, his mind became gradually active. After he had been to the Ghost Gate, he was now going to try to step through the Heaven Gate.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Guan Shang, there's a duel waiting for me. We'll say goodbye here."
Guan Shangjing bowed deeply to Gong Ying Changxiu: "Senior Brother Gong Ying, please."
Gong Ying Changxiu turned around and returned the greeting solemnly. He then got off the boat with his fellow Fenglin Pavilion disciples and boarded a vehicle that had been prepared at the dock, heading towards the central city area.
At this time, in the Xihui Opera House, Astrid put on a knight's armor and hung the special attack tools prepared in advance on her body.
This set of equipment was prepared for her by the Boren Company. Both the armor and the weapons were made of special materials and could perfectly match her abilities.
While checking, a voice came from behind.
"Attis..."
Astrid turned and looked over.
A woman in black armor leaned against a pillar. She had black hair and black eyes. This was Sigrid, the actress who played the female knight in the drama. Although she was also wearing armor, she made no sound when she arrived.
She said, "Artis, the company asked me to cooperate with you. I will be your broker."
"Siggy, can I trust you?" Astrid looked into her black eyes and said, "After all, we've fought so many times, I've lost count."
"Of course, who else can you trust besides me?" Sigrid smiled playfully.
Astrid smiled. She picked up the helmet on the table, put it on her head, and joked, "Knights can't believe it, but I'm a shepherdess."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pushed down the visor.
He then picked up the long gun that was leaning against the table, turned it slightly, and with a click, it shrank into a short gun, which he inserted behind his back.
"Okay, everything is ready."
She took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand, and shook hands with Sigrid, "Siggie, it's time for us to go." Then she walked out with rustling footsteps.
Sigrid turned around, looked at her silently for a few seconds, put on her helmet, and followed.
An hour passed quickly, and the third split of the scorpion mother came as expected.
This time was different from the previous times. The movement was extremely large. First, there were slight earthquakes in various areas of the central city, and then the cracks in the sky suddenly expanded, and there were more cracks extending outward like tree branches.
Powdery, crystal-red objects fell from its edge, as if the entire sky had turned into a mirror that was about to break.
As this state continued, more lightning-like lights emerged from inside, accompanied by rumbling vibrations and spreading to the surroundings, and inside the crack, it seemed that something was coming.
Chen Chuan, who was sitting still, suddenly opened his eyes.
At this very moment, he felt that his spirit had come into contact with a world.
I understood immediately.
The gate of heaven... is open!
Having been waiting for a long time, he immediately activated the method of spiritual reflection, and immediately a trace of coolness seeped into his spirit, but at the same time, it seemed that an inexplicable infection also followed.
He knew that this was what Teacher Xue had called the filth from beyond the heavens.
This requires him to absorb the essence while dissolving and expelling it.
But doing so undoubtedly distracted his mind. If he could concentrate fully, his efficiency would be greatly improved.
At that moment, he tried to let the second me bear this. In just a moment, a slight phenomenon of emptiness appeared on the second me, and I was no longer affected by it.
But then he felt that there was still a barrier above, blocking the arrival of more essence.
It was like a little bit of water leaking out of an hourglass, or like a trickle of water. Even if he could ignore the infection inside, he still needed to spend more energy to search.
If he wanted to change this situation, he had to do as Teacher Xue told him and push his own spirit upward.
He slowly raised the Xuejun Knife in his hand.
Only by fighting continuously can we elevate our spirits and penetrate deep enough into the opposite side to leave a mark.
But he wants to do more than that. He wants to take this opportunity to let the second me reach the third limit.
In this way, when the two overlap, not only will the combat effectiveness be improved, but the spiritual power will undoubtedly be more abundant.
So, the next step is to find a strong enough opponent.
The atmosphere in the command center was much more tense this time than last time, because multiple emergency teams encountered obstacles at the same time and engaged in firefights with unknown forces, and none of their progress was smooth.
Although they could use their communication advantage to dispatch nearby teams for support, the situation still became uncertain.
At this moment, the sentry tower suddenly issued a warning: "Report, a large fissure has been detected in the offshore area of Jiyang District, and it is continuing to expand."
"Offshore area?"
Commissioner Liang's expression froze, and he immediately instructed, "Send the footage back."
The light curtain flickered, and a beach appeared. Waves were surging on the sea in the distance, but now there was a wide crack there. The fog in the crack made it difficult to see clearly on the other side, but a rumbling sound could be vaguely heard.
That seems to be... thunder?
As the fog gradually receded, shadowy figures appeared inside. As these figures moved forward, the fog finally dissipated completely. Everyone finally saw clearly and their eyes suddenly widened.
They were cavalrymen holding spears and wearing armor, and their horses were well-equipped. In the formation, there were flags flying like a forest, and it was impossible to see how many there were at a glance.
"This is... the sharp-armored cavalry of the old imperial family!"
