Chapter 781: The Smoke Clears and Returns Together
The huge monster airship broke into countless pieces in the air, and seemed to stay in the air for a while, and then the torn airbags fell down with the unburned fireworks.
Occasionally, some specially made explosive shells would explode after being thrown far away, causing continuous noises and flames in the air, as if countless fireworks were ignited at the same time.
Inside the Municipal Assembly Building, the two council members who were originally enjoying the scene with their glasses in hand were staring blankly.
The screen in front was still flickering, as if it was due to the explosion of the monster airship, or as if it was due to the impact caused by the ball of light.
"What the hell is that?"
A sense of unease rose in the hearts of both of them. They felt that things seemed to be out of their control and beyond their understanding.
At this time, the interface of a congressman began to flash, indicating that an emergency signal was coming in. After they answered the call, intermittent and vague sounds came from inside, as if it was seriously interfered with. They could only hear words such as "Pause... Retreat... Fighter..."
But even these words soon became unclear, and in the end only a hissing noise remained.
He asked irritably, "What did he say?"
Another council member's face turned pale. He said, "Well, well... that's a fighter..."
"Fighter? That's... a fighter?!"
The congressman opposite finally reacted at this time. He looked incredulous and at the same time looked like, "Are you kidding me?"
After a while, he slammed the glass in his hand to the ground, spilling the bright red wine all over the floor, and cursed loudly:
"I sent people out to round him up, I even issued a wanted order, and now those guys come and tell me the person I'm hunting is a fighter?!"
But after venting, he was surrounded by a deep fear.
The closer they are to the upper echelons, the more they understand the impact a fighter can have and the destructive power he possesses. If they had known that they were dealing with a fighter, they would never have taken such drastic measures. No, they would never have been so stupid as to use force against him!
The problem is that all attack commands are issued through them, so if the fighter wants to counterattack them, it seems reasonable. Then what should they use to block it?
His eyes were bloodshot. "It shouldn't be just us, there's also the Parliament. The Parliament must help us stop him. They can't abandon us, or we'll die together!"
At this moment, not only were they in panic, but the entire parliament was in chaos.
Many congressmen who were originally proud of this move were suddenly horrified to find that the person they originally thought could be easily intimidated and controlled was actually a fighter, and this fighter showed his martial arts and destructive power in the central city without any scruples.
It is very rare for fighters to do such things in the central city. Firstly, fighters usually do not attack worthless things and waste their energy in vain. Secondly, most fighters are subject to certain restrictions due to certain agreements and their own constraints.
The key point is the latter. If the fighter is unwilling to be restrained, then unless there is another similar force that can counter and contain it, there is no way to stop it. And now no one knows what Chen Chuan plans to do next.
They didn't know if this was condoned by the government, which was what scared them the most, because they were already worried about this matter.
If the situation is allowed to continue, it may slide into an unknown abyss.
One member of parliament immediately shouted loudly: "Activate the 'Guardian Spider', we must activate the 'Guardian Spider'!" This is the active consciousness they control, and currently it is the only thing that can bring them a sense of security.
After this decision was made, many people calmed down a little, thinking that things had not yet reached that point and that the situation was not beyond repair, so they immediately made a series of arrangements.
First of all, withdraw all false accusations and prosecutions against this person. After all, you cannot expect him to exercise restraint while infringing on his reputation and interests.
At the same time, he immediately ordered all media under the parliament to come forward to explain that this was a complete misunderstanding. These so-called detected infectious agents would not affect the citizens. It was the Emergency Center that made a serious mistake. All subsequent actions were carried out privately, and the parliament was completely unaware of it.
In order to clear themselves of any involvement, the two main responsible congressmen can be thrown out to appease their anger, or at least to prevent them from having any apparent reason to lash out.
Although these actions are completely self-defeating, they are forced to do so by the situation.
Secondly, they immediately contacted the Union and the Linax Federation, hoping to seek their support and help to suppress the matter as much as possible.
Speaker Quan sat there the whole time, watching the members of parliament discussing heatedly, but he didn't say much. He stood up alone, left the meeting room, and went to a meeting room on the other side.
There was a man wearing sunglasses sitting there. He looked at Speaker Quan and said with a smile, "Mr. Speaker, you don't seem nervous at all."
Speaker Quan sat down across from him and said, "I wasn't nervous to begin with. Due to the unique nature of the Interchange, the Government Office is unable to speak frankly to the public. Therefore, the Ministry of Defense's military victory in the Interchange won't translate directly into political advantage like their last destruction of the Ferris Wheel.
The only imbalance is in high-end combat capability, which is what we've always been concerned about, but I think your faction should be able to help us with this."
The man opposite smiled gently, "Does Speaker Quan have such confidence in us?"
Speaker Quan said: "You know that I have always been accepting of you and have always supported your development in the central city. I think you can feel our friendly attitude.
As for that Director Chen, he's a member of the Pure Faction. They even sent two fighters to him before. The Pure Faction is planning to return to Jibei Road, and if the Government Affairs Office gains power, there will be no obstacles. And I think your sect is well aware of the Pure Faction's philosophy."
He was a member of parliament twenty years ago. He knew very well that the Purity Faction had considerable influence in Jibei Province back then, but they completely withdrew after an incident. Behind this incident, there were faint shadows of the Fusion Faction and the Refinement Faction.
Since then, the central city of Jibei Road has always been an important base for the fusion school and the refined school. These people must not want the pure school to come back.
Now a fighter has appeared in the Purist faction. If the two factions do not respond, the Purist faction will only continue to grow stronger. So he is not as anxious as those parliamentarians. He knows that these two factions will be the first to lose their composure.
The man smiled and said, "Chairman Quan, we have always worked well together, and we also think it is best to maintain the current situation. However, we must do our utmost to avoid factional fighting, and the overall environment does not allow it. I believe you understand."
Speaker Quan said, "I understand." He looked up and said, "Balance, balance is the most important thing."
The man said, "I'm glad you understand." He paused for a moment, then added, "I've already sent the message. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll send a fighter here. However, I'd prefer to send an invitation in the name of Jibei Dao before that fighter arrives."
Speaker Quan nodded and said, "That's what should be done."
But let me say this from an outsider's perspective: "If I were you, I would first find a way to calm this person's anger. It is unwise to offend a fighter at any time. Regardless of whether the fighters I send arrive or not, some necessary price must be paid."
He emphasized, "I'm talking about the actual price. Because from what I understand, fighters don't want to see someone treated unfairly, even if they're enemies."
Chairman Quan's heart trembled. He thought about it and said carefully: "I will arrange this matter."
Above the processing bureau square, all the airships in the distance stopped. Seeing such an astonishing scene, no one dared to shoot at random anymore.
The fragments and remnants of the monster airship were still falling down with a crackling sound, and in a short while, a layer of black ash covered the ground around the square.
Chen Chuan stood in the middle of the square. There was no fallen ashes within dozens of meters around him, making the empty space very obvious. This scene was seen by thousands of people at this moment.
In the distance, Xu Chan and others looked up at the flying flames and falling ashes, feeling shocked but also particularly happy.
Captain Lu was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly grabbed Xu Chan's shoulders and said excitedly: "Captain Xu, Old Xu, Manager Chen is, he is... a fighter, right, huh? You knew it a long time ago, right, right?" He was a little incoherent for a moment.
Xu Chan understood his excitement. He said, "Do you remember who we came back with on the way? I had some guesses at that time.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Captain Lu nodded vigorously.
Captain Hai and Captain Hu looked at each other at this moment, and they could see shock and unconcealable joy in each other's eyes.
They were not from the Processing Bureau. After returning to the central city, they had to report to the Ministry of Defense and the Government Affairs Office. However, because of the friendship they had fought together, they still came along this time. But what they did not expect was that they would be able to witness this scene with their own eyes.
Fighter...
As fighters standing at the third limit, few people understand the meaning of these words better than them.
Chen Chuan ignored the airships parked there and turned to walk towards the processing bureau, while the other team members quickly moved towards him.
At this time, in a protective armored vehicle across the square, the field creatures there were responsible for spreading the news. A host who had come with them gritted her teeth, pushed open the car door amid the exclamations of her colleagues, threw off her high heels, and bravely ran across the street barefoot. She shouted to Chen Chuan's back, "Mr. Chen!"
Chen Chuan looked back.
The host immediately sped up his speech and said, "Mr. Chen, you are the director of the processing bureau, right? As the director of the processing bureau, you so recklessly killed these combat law enforcement officers. I want to say that even if you have such power, you don't have the right to wantonly take these people's lives, right?"
Chen Chuan said: "Actually, I do." He flicked his hand, and a jade card flew up, and with a click, it was inserted not far away from the host opposite. It was a... unlimited defense certificate!
He said calmly: "To launch unlimited defensive counterattacks against unreasonable attackers is the power granted to me by the country." After that, he turned around and left, and the captains including Xu Chan and dozens of team members followed him in uniform steps.
