Chapter 828 Crossing the Border to a Foreign Land
On December 3rd, Chen Chuan took a special car out of the central city and boarded the special airship dispatched by the Fighting Council in the southern industrial zone.
This airship is more than two hundred meters long. Like the airship he took last time to the sea, it provides various entertainment facilities inside, as well as a place specifically for him to practice simple cultivation.
He brought Chaoming with him again this time. Chaoming was now bigger than when he was at sea and could no longer stand on his shoulders, so he followed beside him.
The person in charge on the airship waited for him to come up, bowed to him and said, "Mr. Chen, we are the accompanying personnel sent by the Fighting Council to the airship to take charge of your trip. If you have any requests, please let me know."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Have a pleasant journey."
Chen Chuan entered the main cabin, put down his luggage, and sat down. He saw the airship slowly rising and flying towards the west. The central city behind him gradually moved away from his sight and was gradually left behind.
His sudden departure caught the municipal council off guard and made them feel strange. Then they thought that he might be going on a mission. After all, fighters rarely stayed in the central city for a long time, so his sudden departure did not seem to be a big deal. This action actually confirmed what Speaker Quan said.
This made them feel a lot more relaxed.
At the White Bird District Union representative's residence, Mr. Chi was using his boundary credentials to communicate with someone across from him. He said, "Please tell me, sir, that person suddenly left the central city on an airship today, and we don't know where he's going yet..."
"The airship was most likely arranged by higher-ups. It's highly confidential, so I can't find out its specific whereabouts. Yes, it's likely carrying out a national mission.
...This time we had originally chosen an internal staff to put the thing next to that person, but in the end it failed... It won't be discovered. The staff we mobilized were transferred from overseas and have no direct connection with the company. He also didn't know that he was serving the company.
...Okay, then we won't move for now and will inform you when he comes back."
On the other hand, the Council's airship flew westward along the central route of Dashun's territory. The airship did not move continuously. On the morning of the fourth day, it stopped at a checkpoint on Longyou Road for inspection and replenishment of supplies. After staying here for half a day, it set off.
After another two days of flight, Chen Chuan looked down from the porthole. The originally vast land below had turned into a cold and hard glacier with layers of wrinkles. Occasionally, gray-blue and dark brown mountains were visible under the ice and snow.
Further away, the river flowing on the snowfield cuts the terrain into broken and discontinuous shapes, and converges into a big river at a certain point. Looking in this direction, you can see a magnificent canyon in the distance. This is Tianque Mountain, a famous mountain in the west of Dashun, and there is also a famous Tianjing Yangchi on it.
Beyond here is the Suojie Mountain, the farthest border of the territory in the old times. The mountain range stretching for more than a thousand miles divided the land into east and west ends, but now many passages and tunnels have been opened up on it.
He read some internal information before setting off. In order to connect the two sides in a shorter time, it seemed that large creatures from the fusion land were used in the development process.
After the airship passed the mountain, what came into view was a vast grassland. A winding river flowed like a jade belt across the green grassland, and herds of horses galloped across it.
At this moment, the sky above the world flickered, and the crew on the airship introduced him:
"Mr. Chen, we're now in the Bessa Khanate's territory. We need to rest briefly at the Lax Maintenance Station ahead. After two hours, we'll head to our destination, Balktu Central City. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Chuan said no. He made himself a cup of tea, ordered a cocktail, and played a piece of majestic and soothing music. While listening, he admired the magnificent scenery outside.
More than ten minutes later, the airship stopped at the checkpoint ahead, stayed briefly at the mooring tower here, and communicated with the front by telegram. Two hours later, it took off again and headed straight for the end point of this journey, the central city of Balktu.
"Besa" in the Besa Khanate means mountain water. Balktu is the only central city of the Besa Khanate, and more than half of the country's population is concentrated here.
This city was also built during the Great League. The entire city is divided into two parts: the outer circle and the inner circle. The inner circle is located on the Tarq Highlands, which also means "the majestic mountain". It is where the powerful, religious people, elites and foreign talents are allowed to arrive. The outer circle is where ordinary herdsmen and citizens without identity stay.
When the airship arrived here, a large city standing on the plain could be seen from afar. The tall buildings were basically located on the high ground in the inner circle of the central city. In the periphery, although it also belonged to the scope of the central city, the buildings were generally short and complicated, barely arranged according to the layout when the city was first built, and the layout became looser as it went to the periphery.
Because the senior Fang Zhuoying he was going to visit this time did not live in the inner city circle, the airship stopped twice at the anchorage on the edge. From time to time, airships could be seen taking off and landing in the sky nearby, and many of them were luxurious airships.
Although his airship was very large, it had no obvious markings, and from the outside its configuration seemed ordinary, making it inconspicuous among these airships.
Such treatment was necessary because, in addition to finding someone, he also had a mission to accomplish, and it would not be appropriate to expose himself in advance.
After getting off the airship, a security team hired by the council was already waiting there. This is something that foreigners must do when they come here, even people from Dashun are no exception. In addition to their security role, these people can also help visitors reduce a lot of trouble.
Chen Chuan was quite satisfied with this arrangement. He did not think that as a fighter he could handle everything. If there was a more convenient and low-cost way to solve the problem, he would definitely choose this method.
Here, he switched to an off-road vehicle and donned a pair of augmented reality glasses. These were a weakened version of the "world pass," capable of simple communication and external scene transmission, in addition to visualizing simulated scenes. While his mental power was already capable of receiving and capturing the external information he needed, there was no need to exert any effort; he could simply use it when needed.
Of course, this is only limited to the outer city circle. If he reaches the inner city circle, the boundary certificate he brought from Dashun can be used without any hindrance.
Entering the city from the edge, the first thing you see is a densely populated market. The buildings on both sides are decorated with neon lights. The noisy sounds and the various melodious music coming from the city make it extremely noisy.
Almost all the people passing by on the road were equipped with implants, and the livestock had all undergone certain implant modifications. He saw a cat whose fur was glowing with colorful light, and it was as big as a person. In comparison, Chao Ming looked very normal here.
There was a wide variety of goods on the market. He took a look and saw everything from traditional handicrafts such as exquisite felt carpets, finely carved wooden objects and traditional silver jewelry, to implants, simple biochemical prostheses, and even biological tissues suspected to be from the fusion land. It gave people a sense of the mixture of old and new eras.
As we went deeper into the city, the buildings gradually became taller and the number of vehicles gradually increased, but we could see that most of them were modified off-road vehicles, almost all of which were armed with guns and highly implanted armed personnel. However, after seeing Chen Chuan's convoy, they avoided it, but gunshots could be vaguely heard from a distance, occasionally mixed with one or two explosions.
The fighting gym opened by the senior was located in the largest tent outside the city and was very famous locally, so the off-road vehicle drove directly there.
After driving for over fifty minutes, the person in charge who had accompanied them said to him, "Mr. Chen, the Chiyun Tent is just ahead. We will stop there and wait outside. Our hired armed forces are on duty 24 hours a day. Mr. Chen, please feel free to contact us if you need us."
Chen Chuan nodded and looked forward. The bowl tent was actually a building similar to a tent. It was oval inside and smooth outside, like a goose egg. There were four sail-shaped corners extending from the top of the building to the ground, like the four corners of a tent. The lines were smooth, simple and very beautiful.
He asked Chao Ming to stay here first. After getting off the car, he combed his scarf and walked towards the door of the tent with his luggage.
He had sent a telegram in advance before visiting, so when he explained his purpose to the person at the door, the other party was very friendly and enthusiastic and immediately invited him in.
After entering, the first thing I saw was a series of fighting arenas of different sizes that were separated from each other. The venue was very spacious. Not far away, dozens of strong and sturdy women were fighting each other on a thick felt carpet, shouting like thunder, and from time to time there were dull sounds of people being thrown down.
Chen Chuan knew at a glance that this was a technique that relied on wrestling and fighting to train alienated tissues and bones, which was equivalent to Dashun's Jinzhuang.
The only difference is that Jinzhuang mobilizes alienated tissues through certain rhythmic breathing and body movements, while here this process is replaced by wrestling and confrontation, allowing the trainee to figure out the breath that suits him or her. It cannot be said that one is superior or inferior to the other, it can only be said that they are different paths to the same destination.
You can see that these fighters have flushed faces, heavy breathing, hot heads, and sweat all over the floor. After a while, they need to come down to replenish nutritional cream and water, and then someone will pat them to relax and let them rest for a while before going back to fight.
This kind of training intensity can easily eliminate people, and perhaps only those who are truly suitable for this fighting technique can survive.
Although he left after just a glance and also restrained the aura on his body, as he walked along, an invisible sense of oppression made the hairs of the people around him stand on end and their bodies covered with goose bumps. They stopped unconsciously and stared blankly at his back as he walked in.
