Chapter 911: News Arrives and Everyone Goes
In front of the field screen, members of the security decision-making group were waiting for a response from the center.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was almost time for the scheduled time, but there was still no news from the central government.
What happened?
Logically speaking, for such a big matter, Qi Weizhao would definitely communicate with his superiors in advance, and being able to say the time of one hour should mean that he was confident.
But in this situation, could it be that something unexpected had happened? Or that they had encountered some unexpected obstacle? Or that something unexpected had occurred?
All of these are possible. After all, the situation in the hub is much more complicated than that in other central cities. A single move can affect the entire system. Many things are not determined by the things themselves, but by too many additional factors.
All we can do now is wait.
Soon, there were only two minutes left before the agreed time.
Everyone on the screen remained silent and the atmosphere was very serious.
Chen Chuan glanced at Qi Weizhao and found that the latter was very patient.
If this action does not have the permission and endorsement of the central government, it will become a local action of the Jibei Road Central City Government Office. Any risks and consequences caused by it will need to be borne by the decision-makers on the side of the Government Office.
The action was made unanimously by the decision-making group. However, if Qi Weizhao, the nominal team leader, insisted on pushing forward, it would be difficult for others to object. That's why Qi Weizhao said that before, and he himself would bear the main responsibility.
The purpose of doing this is that even if something goes wrong, it will not involve everyone. Even if the individual is held accountable by the higher-ups, attacked by international public opinion, or even steps down and ruins his political future, the final results can still be guaranteed and a de facto victory can be achieved.
The decision-maker's firm attitude and determination to take responsibility are enough to inspire and motivate those below him to follow and complete what needs to be done.
The second hand finally reached 6:20, the time for action had arrived, but there was still no response from the center.
Qi Weizhao didn't seem to be shaken by this, and there was no disappointment in his expression. He raised his head and said, "The time has come, then..."
Just as he was saying this, Secretary Qiao Yang suddenly came trotting in, sweating profusely, and said as he walked, "Chief, a call from Central! Because of the thunderstorm at sea, the telegram was received fifteen minutes later than normal..."
On the field screen, everyone looked at the telegram together, but their expressions remained serious. They couldn't make a conclusion yet. If the center's final opinion was negative, then it would be better not to come.
If you get things done this way, there will be nothing for the higher-ups to say.
Qi Weizhao grabbed the telegram and quickly glanced at it before looking up at everyone in front of the screen. "Everyone, the Central Committee has approved our action application report. Now I declare..."
As he spoke, he stood up and said in a strong voice:
"Operation Sunrise officially begins!"
Everyone stood up and saluted solemnly.
Then, the figures in front of the screen disappeared one by one. Everyone had pre-arranged tasks and things to do. As the team members left and issued orders, the information agencies, violence departments, and various departments and organizations involved in the entire central city began to operate in an orderly manner like a sophisticated machine.
After the incident of the mother shrimp fission last year, all departments of Jibei Road received high-intensity exercises and training, so this time the movement was very smooth.
After Chen Chuan came down from the field screen, he picked up the Xuejun Sword and left the lounge, took the elevator down, and walked out of the government hall.
He didn't need to worry too much about the specific operational arrangements for the Bureau and the City Patrol this time. When he was away, he delegated the power to the lower levels and communicate directly with the Government Affairs Office.
His main responsibility now is the active consciousness of those two beings.
According to past information and intelligence provided by the secret department, the active consciousness of the Municipal Council, the "Guardian Spider", has always been under the Municipal Council Building and has never left. This is to ensure the safety of all council members and to form a more direct deterrent to the Government Hall.
This active consciousness is somewhat special. It has a very strong reproductive ability. After becoming a weapon in the hands of the Municipal Council, the spider eggs it bred are secretly buried in many important places in the central city, and can be said to be spread throughout the city.
After the guard spider is awakened or enters combat mode, if it encounters an enemy it can handle, the spider eggs will stay there safely. However, if there is an emergency or its life is in danger, it will emit a pheromone that is transmitted at an extremely fast speed. At that time, all the little spiders will break out of the eggs and begin to indiscriminately attack and destroy the surrounding people and public places.
That would cause great unrest in Central City, so it's actually a form of security kidnapping.
This specific situation was revealed because Chen Chuan posed a serious threat to the members of the municipal council when he came back last time, so he took the initiative to reveal it.
The legislators hoped that this would make Chen Chuan afraid to use force against them.
Because there are so many of these things and they are spread all over the city, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate them in a short period of time.
But this isn't really unmanageable.
Since Chen Chuan dared to say in front of Qi Weizhao that he could guarantee the safety of the central city, he must be confident. The most crucial point here lies in the Guardian Spider itself.
As long as he stood in front of that thing, he would not be able to send any information out.
Walking out of the door of the Government Hall, he looked at the brightly lit Parliament Building across the central square. Brilliant rainbow shadows flickered around it, and large screens around it were continuously broadcasting public news and promotional videos of certain politicians.
It was raining now. Although the rain was a little lighter than before, it was still quite dense. The water splashed violently on the hard ground of the square, reflecting the colorful light and shadows cast from above. He walked towards there calmly.
Although there were still many government employees and passers-by walking hurriedly in the square at this moment, no one looked at him when he crossed the square, as if he did not exist.
When we arrived at the city council building, we saw many petitioners outside holding signs and wearing raincoats, shouting slogans. Some people who were obviously media reporters were also waiting for news here, and even the rainy day couldn't stop them from leaving.
Opposite them were armed security personnel wearing goggles and black protective suits, standing on high alert. They raised their guns slightly and looked at everything around them vigilantly. From time to time, they would use border passes to communicate with the patrol personnel outside.
Chen Chuan didn't even look at them and walked straight in. During this time, everyone seemed to ignore him.
The lights in the lobby of the Parliament Building were as bright as day. Some political brokers and public relations personnel from some large companies were discussing something in a low voice. Some of them were watching the opportunity from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.
Occasionally, the front desk would sound a reminder, or the receptionist would walk over and whisper a few words, and then someone would immediately get up from the sofa and quickly walk into the elevator in front.
Chen Chuan stood in the hall and took a look. Hong Fu's voice rang in his ears: "Elevator number four."
He walked straight over, and the moment he reached the elevator door, everyone present received some information that attracted their attention, and some monitoring personnel felt that the field information seemed a little unstable, and the screen jumped.
At this time, the elevator door opened automatically. Chen Chuan walked inside and stood still. Without any secret key or any operation from him, the elevator closed by itself, jumped to the next floor, and then slowly descended.
Hongfu has now been connected to the domain of Ximu and has accepted the authority granted by Ximu. After obtaining authorization from the center, the Government Affairs Office can forcibly seize and take full control of Ximu for a period of time. After all, this is state property, and they have the power to use this authority in an emergency.
After the elevator reached the twelfth underground floor, it sank for a moment and stopped. Then, the voice of an inactive consciousness rang out in the elevator: "Welcome Visitor Number Three."
Hong Fu said, "This is the limit of the authority that the Mother of the Earth can grant. Beyond that, the Council has used special materials to isolate the outside field information input, implementing independent field information. Without a special password and a secure channel, it is difficult to enter from the outside."
After Chen Chuan glanced around, his eyes fell to the ground below.
"That thing is down there?"
Hong Fu said, "There's an underground space over 5,000 square meters beneath our feet. Combining past intelligence with current field information feedback, we know there are a large number of high-energy nutrient transmission pipelines and isolation materials. The possibility of Guardian Spiders being there is over 90% certain."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's enough for us now."
He bent down and stretched out his hand, pressing his palm on the ground. After a moment, cracks appeared on the edge of his palm, and then quickly spread outward. The surroundings began to vibrate, and there were dense crackling sounds and unbearable sounds.
However, the vibration was limited to a range of four or five meters around him and did not go any further. After a few breaths, there was a loud bang, and the floor slab, which was almost two meters thick and could withstand the impact of high-energy explosions and the penetration of field information, was completely shattered!
However, neither the broken pieces of reinforced concrete nor the gravel of special materials fell to the ground, but all floated in the air as if they had lost gravity.
Chen Chuan himself was also floating there at the moment. He looked down, and his body slowly fell from above. The fragments also fell with him. When he stood on the ground, they also fell there with a crash.
At this time, he looked up and looked forward, and a large underground space appeared in front of him. There were four tunnels in front, behind, left and right, and each tunnel had a heavy metal door.
