Chapter 916: Turbid Air Still Hiding Deeply
"The Land of Blending..."
Wu Mian warned cautiously: "Speaker, the Government Affairs Office's attack on us this time couldn't have been done without the cooperation of the garrison. The nearest intersection to us may also be blocked. Even if we reach the other side, we may still be targeted by the garrison's armed forces."
"A lockdown is inevitable."
Speaker Quan walked out along the passage and said, "But there is a rift in the building that leads to the fusion area. We can evacuate from there."
Most people in the council were unaware of the existence of this rift, so it was naturally impossible for any troops to block the opposite exit. Moreover, this rift could only allow one crossing, so when they reached the intersection, they wouldn't have to worry about being chased from behind.
Although he would inevitably be searched by the garrison troops after entering the fusion area, both the fusion and refinement factions had certain influence there. As the speaker, he still had certain value. Once he reached the other side, the people from these two factions would definitely try to protect him.
After hearing what he said, everyone around him had hope of escaping and followed him out quickly along the passage.
With the support of the external implant, Speaker Quan ran very fast. After running for more than half a minute, a corner appeared in front of him. As long as he passed here, he would reach the crack. But at this time, Wu Mian, who was following beside him, suddenly felt something and immediately reached out to stop Speaker Quan.
Just when everyone was confused, there was a loud bang in front of them. The wall was forcibly broken, and flying dust and debris shot out, crackling and scattering all over the ground.
Light shone in from outside, and a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a processing bureau director could be seen there. He took a look at the scene in the passage and said, "Chairman Quan, you can't escape. You'd better stay and be decent."
"Xu Chan?"
Wu Mian's external implant eyes shrank slightly, and he shouted, "Stop him!"
All the security members immediately raised their guns. Gunshots rang out violently in the passage, and dense bullets swept towards the other end of the gap.
Wu Mian had no intention of going up to compete with Xu Chan. He immediately stretched out his hand to lead the entire Speaker, quickly ran through the gap, and ran towards the end.
But after only a few steps out, the auxiliary senses at the back of his head saw an invisible force rushing out from the gap, as if a bomb had exploded there, knocking all the security personnel against the walls and ceiling, and they lost their combat effectiveness in the blink of an eye.
Xu Chan walked out and turned to look at them.
The two remaining security guards following Speaker Quan were about to raise their guns to shoot, but Wu Mian stopped them. He said, "Take the Speaker away, I'll stop him."
The two security guards escorted Speaker Quan away without saying a word.
Wu Mian walked towards Xu Chan. He moved his shoulders. The nearly three-meter-long implant had a strong sense of oppression in this aisle.
He said, "Xu Chan, I have long wanted to experience your skills." Although he said this, he knew that the person in front of him might be the most powerful investigative director in the Bureau since Chen Chuan's promotion, and he did not dare to take it lightly.
Xu Chan looked at him and said, "Wumian?"
Wu Mian said: "It's me!"
Xu Chan nodded and said, "I know you. You have your own principles. You're simply responsible for protecting Quan Zengming. You've rejected many unreasonable requests and haven't gone along with the corrupt practices of many others. You have a pair of children at home, right? You're just an employee. Give up resistance. There's no need to embark on a path that's doomed to failure."
Wu Mian was silent for a moment before he said, "I am loyal to my professional ethics, just as you are loyal to your duties."
Xu Chan didn't say anything else. He rushed forward and punched the opponent in the face. It was a simple attack, but it was extremely fast.
Wu Mian almost didn't have time to react, and the terrain here was narrow and difficult to dodge. Fortunately, the external implant enhanced his reaction speed and strength, allowing him to quickly dodge the attack, and he dodged Xu Chan's next two punches in succession. However, he couldn't find a chance to fight back, so he could only retreat. However, he was still slow, and when Xu Chan kicked him, he felt that he could no longer dodge, so he quickly raised his hands to cross them to block.
With a loud bang, Wu Mian was sent flying backwards by an irresistible force and hit the wall next to him. The arms of the external implants he used for defense were full of cracks, and the arms inside were shaking constantly, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.
He looked at the faint light flickering on Xu Chan's fist, his pupils constricted, "Spiritual perception?"
He let out a breath and said bitterly, "I'm no match for you..." As he spoke, his body slowly slid down and he sat there motionless.
Xu Chan did not make things difficult for him and went straight through. However, when he was about to reach the corner, he felt a gust of wind pressure from behind him. Wu Mian had come behind him, holding two long spears and stabbing them at his back from top to bottom.
This attack made full use of the narrow terrain. The long spear in his hand blocked Xu Chan's space to dodge. He thought that at worst, both of them would be injured.
However, faced with such a situation, Xu Chan, who was facing away from him, suddenly stepped aside and leaned against the wall. His whole body was easily embedded in it. The wall was squeezed open like flour. After the two spears passed in front of his eyes, he took another step and jumped to Wu Mian's side. He put his hands on his head and turned it lightly. With a click, his neck turned a circle and then landed lightly on the ground.
A sigh came into Wu Mian's ears: "You are just like me, neither of us is a good father."
His head was twisted as he watched Xu Chan leave quickly. His body froze for a moment, then fell to the ground with a thud.
The implants in his body seemed to be trying to save him, but after twisting a few times, they cracked and shattered into pieces. Before leaving, Xu Chan sent a surge of force into them, completely destroying the internal tissue.
Speaker Quan had already passed through the blockade door and arrived in front of the gap. The heavy metal door behind him slowly fell from above after he pulled the lever. However, the door was only halfway down when it was suddenly supported by an outstretched hand, and then slowly lifted up with a creaking sound.
The two security guards at the rear were startled and quickly raised their guns to shoot, but a hand with a flash of light easily deflected the bullets, and all the bullets fell to the ground.
At this moment, Xu Chan tensed his arm muscles and lifted it up with all his strength. The entire metal door instantly moved up and hit the ceiling. He walked in, pushed left and right, and the two security guards fell straight down.
He kept walking towards the retreating Speaker Quan, and before he could run into the crack, he reached out and grabbed his chest and abdomen, and his strength penetrated into him.
Amidst the sound of crackling, the external implant kept trembling, and finally the spine split in the middle. With a "ugh" sound, Speaker Quan's body fell out from the gap, half of his body dragged on the ground, and some tissue fluid spilled out.
He hurriedly pulled out the vein in his mouth with both hands, retched a few times, and then lay there gasping for breath. Then he seemed to feel the cold, curled up on the cold ground, hugged himself with his hands and trembled constantly.
Xu Chan said in a deep voice, "Chairman Quan, I am under the order of the Government Affairs Office to arrest you now."
Speaker Quan lay there, glancing at him with cloudy eyes. He said, "You wanted me to bring you here, didn't you? You knew there was a rift here all along? Let me think who leaked the news, Councillor Ai? It should be him. He's always been the most sensible of the times and is also good at observing the situation. So he secretly informed you, right?"
Xu Chan did not answer his question. He came up, grabbed him, and carried him on his shoulder. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Quan, save some strength and go back to talk. There are still many things waiting for your explanation and cooperation." With that, he walked out.
At this time, Chen Chuan had already returned to the airship with half of his active consciousness and evacuated from the White Bird District.
There are many anti-aircraft weapons under the White Bird area, but no one dares to attack it.
What a joke! Even if the airship could be knocked down from the sky, it would be impossible to cause any harm to a fighter.
At this moment, they were able to distinguish that the person who destroyed the six airships in an instant was Chen Chuan, the director of the Central City’s Defense Department. They still remembered vividly the scene of him knocking down the monster airship with one punch.
However, the media personnel stationed in various countries were very excited. What happened tonight was enough to become a big news and occupy a section in newspapers of various countries.
But they later discovered that the photos that were printed in a hurry were all blurry, and only a pale white spot could be seen, as if they were overexposed.
But they also had a solution. They temporarily found a hand-drawn artist to record the drawings from memory and prepared to send them back to China as a record file.
After the airship left the White Bird District and returned to the Central City District, Chen Chuan immediately clicked on the lower realm pass, connected to a certain channel, and asked, "Principal Yao?"
Yao Zhiyi's voice came out: "Most of the targets have been arrested. Only some unimportant personnel are still being apprehended. I haven't found anything unusual here."
Chen Chuan nodded. This time, Yao Zhiyi was not in the intersection area, but came to the central city area and waited near Weiguang District.
This was partly to guard against any unexpected situations, as many members of the Fusion and Refined Sects were also targeted. It was also because they knew the greatest enemy they faced this time wasn't the Municipal Council, but rather a being from across the World Ring.
Counselor Pei had told him before that this existence should be in the central city, but it has not been found yet.
Referring to the last incident with the Eagle-Tailed Director of the Ferris Wheel Company, he guessed in advance that the other party was most likely living in the body of a certain congressman, or would take advantage of the time when they were dealing with the active consciousness to come and invade their body.
However, after dealing with two active consciousnesses in succession, this existence did not show up.
He looked towards the central city under the rain and fog. If there was nothing wrong with those congressmen, then where was this thing hiding now?
