Chapter 676 Path
The pit was very deep, and judging from the pit wall, it was dug by this fighting creature. Chen Chuan speculated that this passage might have been dug as a retreat at a critical moment.
It is no wonder that these people did not rush to retreat after they noticed something. It turns out that there is such a passage, but it is also possible that this passage has not been completely opened yet.
He looked at the marks on the wall of the pit. There were traces of rubbing back and forth on the edge. It was definitely impossible that it was dug out today.
It is very likely that these people started digging as soon as they arrived here and continued every day. So where does this road lead to?
He didn't plan to go down by himself, so he used the boundary pass to take care of Andun. After a while, several fighting creatures flew over from a distance, entered the house, and crawled into the cave.
These combat creatures are all connected to the field information and have certain field monitoring capabilities. He can use these creatures to see some of the situations below.
On the periphery, his team members had already blocked several intersections according to the pre-arranged arrangements, produced certificates from the handling bureau, and began to identify and evacuate nearby residents and pedestrians.
At this moment, the city security in the rear has caught up, and soon this entire area will be blocked off.
However, just as they started to act, gunshots were heard in the residential area, causing passers-by to panic and scatter in all directions.
The team members were not newbies. When they heard the sound coming from all directions, they knew that someone was deliberately creating chaos.
At this time, some people inevitably rushed out. One person seemed to come to Wei Dong in a panic. When he approached, he suddenly took out a dagger from underneath and stabbed it into his stomach.
However, before he could complete the action halfway, a fist hit him hard on the cheek, and he immediately fell sideways and fainted on the ground.
Luo Kaiyuan on the side retracted his fist and nodded at Wei Dong.
Today's mission was to capture alive those who posed no threat. He was afraid that Wei Dong might act without restraint and kill someone, so he simply did it for him.
At the intersection on the other side, Wei Changan stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking around. Cai Si was checking and asking people to evacuate.
These people retreated from them one by one, trembling with fear. One of them was walking past Wei Changan with his head lowered, but he was grabbed by the shoulder. The man stopped involuntarily, his eyes darting, "What, what are you doing?"
Wei Changan stretched out his hand and pushed back, causing the man to take several steps back and sit down on the ground. He said, "I only asked irrelevant people to leave. As for you, you can't leave for the time being."
He had carried out so many commissions and was very experienced in identifying people. He saw clearly that although this person had his head down, his attitude was full of hostility. No matter if he was a member of the gang here or someone he really wanted to arrest, he would not be allowed to leave.
The man's face changed and he quickly got up and ran to the back. However, his running proved that there was a problem. Before he took a few steps, he heard a gunshot from behind and fell to the ground, covering his calf and wailing.
Cai Si put away his gun, went up to arrest the man and put him in handcuffs. But at this moment, a man in a window in the distance pointed a gun at him.
However, before this man could fire a shot, Ding Liao, who was lying on a roof, shot him in the head with a bang. At the same time, he turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at another gunman. Before he could react, he fired another shot, and the gunman fell from the height in an instant.
Cai Si walked over to Wei Changan and said, "Junior, you should be able to handle it if you go in there by yourself, right?"
Wei Changan was alert yet relaxed. He said, "Don't worry, Junior Chen always does things with confidence. Besides, he's the head of the investigation department." He smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about him as much as we do about anyone else. We just need to make sure we don't make any mistakes."
Cai Si nodded in agreement.
Inside the house, Chen Chuan used the boundary to look at the situation inside the pit from the perspective of a combat creature that had entered. The pit was very deep, and the combat creature had been there for more than ten minutes but still had not seen the end.
But at this moment, one of them suddenly disappeared, and after a while, the remaining ones also disappeared one after another.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Judging from the order in which it disappeared, this thing was coming towards him, and at a very fast speed.
He stood at the edge of the pit, staring down, but saw no movement for a long time. After a while, there was a loud bang, and the ground several meters behind him was suddenly broken.
A bug with a smooth, arthropod-like body suddenly rushed out. It was shaped like a flat cone, with a ferocious and strong jaw at its mouth and dense sickle-like limbs on its abdomen. It was trying to embrace him.
With a flash of the knife, the insect was instantly split in half and fell to the sides. A large amount of biological tissue fluid with a strange smell flowed out of its body.
Chen Chuan turned around. He had just heard clearly that there were not just one insect, but many. He walked outside with a knife. Through Chao Ming's observation in the sky, he found that there were more than a dozen places around where such things were coming out, and there were also such things in a farther range.
From this perspective, the approach of evacuating the crowd just now was correct, but even so, there were still many people who refused to leave, and he could not help those who did not listen.
He immediately contacted Jie Ping, notified Yuan Qiyuan and the others, and sent them the footage he had seen: "Be careful with these things, and deal with everything you can see."
There are definitely more of these things than what we see now. According to Andun's analysis, they are most likely bred by that fighting creature.
He walked back to the street he had just been on and released his spiritual power outwards. In an instant, within a radius of several hundred meters centered on him, all the insects, whether on the ground or underground, stopped their original movements and lay there as if they were dead.
He only knew that there might be some fish that slipped through the net a little further away, but his team should be able to deal with them. These modified creatures were just enough for them to handle.
At this moment, above a certain intersection, Yuan Qiyuan was standing on the roof watching. He saw the road surface being broken and a bug rushed out. Before the bug could fully reveal its whole body, he raised the stick in his hand, jumped down from the air, and smashed the bug's body with the stick.
With a snap, the entire upper body of the insect exploded, and the broken shell and bursting liquid splashed everywhere, making a mess.
On the other side, Qin Qingque and Su Wei were also dealing with the insects they saw. However, they were not like Yuan Qiyuan who made a mess. They used force to destroy the internal structure of the insects.
On the one hand, this way the scene would not be too ugly, and on the other hand, they did not know whether these liquids were harmful to ordinary people and the surrounding environment, so they subconsciously controlled them.
With the help of the team members, no more bugs appeared outside soon. After checking and confirming that there were no casualties among their team members, they reported to Chen Chuan.
After receiving the report, Chen Chuan notified the city security forces to come and clean up the situation, and asked the team members to take the three seriously injured people back and prepare to take them to the police station for further interrogation.
A few hours later, in the basement of Lianwei’s re-entry branch.
Yang Ling had one hand on the porcelain box, communicating with the embryo of the active consciousness inside. She could hear rustling sounds from inside.
Those sounds were communicating with her spirit, as if conveying some kind of information to each other.
There are now blood vessels on the holes on the outer wall of the porcelain box, with vermilion liquid flowing inside, continuously transporting nutrients into it.
After a while, her face turned pale, and she finally let go of her hand. She waited for her slightly rapid breathing to calm down before walking towards the elevator leading to the ground.
When she reached the ground and the elevator opened, she saw the female assistant waiting outside and asked, "What's going on?"
The female assistant bowed slightly and said, "Miss, headquarters just sent a telegram saying that our team stationed in the fringe area was attacked by the Processing Bureau."
Yang Ling's expression showed no sign of change. He simply asked, "How much did the damage cost?"
"All three team members were arrested."
"Then...where's Captain Fan?"
"Captain Fan was very cautious. He did not stay with his team, so he was not affected by the raid."
Yang Ling said, "Well, then headquarters should send someone to replace him."
When she came out, the headquarters told her that the main person in charge of the operation this time was Captain Fan, and the other personnel could be replaced. As long as this person was there, the operation would not be considered a failure.
As for the possible losses and setbacks encountered during the operation, the company had already made preparations.
The female assistant said, "But he's very likely to be exposed. Although the processing bureau hasn't found him, they've been able to confirm Captain Fan's existence through interrogation of the captured personnel. They'll definitely increase their search efforts. Headquarters is asking us to try to attract the processing bureau's attention during this period."
Yang Ling recalled several strategies that the active consciousness had given him before. One of them was to try to get some of the Ferris Wheel Company's maritime transportation business, which required them to go overseas for negotiations. If they went to the sea, they should be able to divert some of the attention of the processing bureau.
The female assistant continued, "Also, headquarters would like to ask you if you have found a suitable location?"
Yang Ling's intertwined fingers tightened slightly, and she said, "Just a little bit more."
Her spirit can sense the weak spots leading to the fusion area, so even if the active consciousness body is just an embryo, a secret path can be found through her spirit's assistance.
Although Lianwei Zhongyu had obtained the permission of the municipal council to enter the fusion area, they were also going for the lost objects this time, so they needed to open up another route.
The female assistant looked at her for a moment, as if to confirm whether what she said was true, and finally bowed and said, "Headquarters is urging us to do this, so please hurry up, Miss."
