Chapter 677 Sorting
Shiratori District, temporary meeting hall of the consortium delegation.
A group of representatives from the consortium were sitting around a conference table, and an action leader was standing there, describing the recent progress on the field screen.
The delegation members present listened to him patiently. The key to this entire operation lies in force and information, which they will not ignore.
"The mercenary team we arranged this time originally wanted to capture Chen Bitong's assistant and search him for information about possible fusion sites. However, during the arrest, they encountered an investigation supervisor from the Processing Bureau, which resulted in the operation being unsuccessful.
According to our subsequent investigation, Supervisor Chen had also been to Chen Bitong's youngest son's place and had never left the military family area since then.
Therefore, we can be sure that the Bureau of Investigation has taken this matter seriously, and it will not be so easy for us to seize this information."
One delegation member crossed his arms and suggested, "If the Bureau is on guard, then I suggest we give up. There's no need for us to confront them for now; that's exactly what they want."
The other members agreed with his opinion. This was within the territory of Dashun. Even if they could gain an advantage in a certain area by directly confronting the Processing Bureau, as long as the Processing Bureau was still there, they could find support continuously. No matter how many people there were, they would not be enough to fill the gap.
Although their prepared forces this time are very strong, they are generally limited, so they must be concentrated and used in appropriate places.
The person in charge of the operation said: "Although we can't find complete information, we have found some past information through certain information channels, as well as some information that the companies agreed to exchange. Through technical collation and analysis, we have roughly restored the situation of the Jibei Road intersection, which can already meet our minimum needs.
The lack of information can be compensated to a certain extent by the quality of personnel.
We also learned from the Jibei Provincial Municipal Council that the city government also lacks complete information. They only have a patchwork of documents from three years ago, which isn't necessarily more detailed than what we've restored. So, we're not at a disadvantage in this regard."
One member representative raised the question: "Was Chen Bitong's assistant captured by the Bureau of Investigation? If he has the detailed information, does that mean the government also has it?"
The operation leader said respectfully, "Mr. Molujan, we are certain that the Bureau of Investigation did not apprehend Fang Zhixin. Perhaps he escaped, or perhaps they simply did not have the information. In short, the Bureau of Investigation did not gain anything from the incident." He emphasized, "The source of the information is very reliable."
Hearing this answer, the delegation members couldn't help but think of many possibilities. One of them suddenly asked, "What is the fighting level of the director of the processing bureau responsible for the arrest operation?"
The operation leader said, "Due to the information blockade at the scene, we are unable to obtain specific information. However, from the information we have obtained about this individual, it seems that this Investigation Bureau Director played a key role in the destruction of the Ferris Wheel Company. He was promoted to Investigation Director because of this battle."
As he was speaking, a scene appeared on the screen in the middle of the conference table. It was the scene of Chen Chuan descending from the sky and splitting the Ferris wheel in half with one sword.
As the huge Ferris wheel slowly tilted to the sides, the faces of the delegation members present were illuminated by the flashing light.
The members of the delegation looked serious. They were all knowledgeable. This destructive power seemed to have exceeded the level of ordinary third-level fighters.
The first thing that comes to their mind is whether such a person will threaten them?
The person in charge of the operation said: "Dear representatives, this is not his true strength. This director's attack actually borrowed the power of the active consciousness of Wuyi Academy.
As for his own strength... according to the latest international assessment standards, we have evaluated him and found that among fighters of the third limit, his strength is enough to consistently rank in the top 400 in the world."
The members of the delegation showed their attention. This assessment was a combination of various standards and an analysis of known and famous fighters within three limits around the world.
You have to know that this is the global ranking. Being able to enter the top 400 is actually a very high ranking. Any one of them taken alone is the absolute backbone of a region.
And they all know that as the big bombing approaches, capable people will gradually emerge. These rankings are always changing, and being steadily in the top 400 means that no matter how things change later, you can always be firmly ranked among them. This is already a combat effectiveness that is worthy of attention.
So a representative immediately asked: "Will this person enter the fusion area later?"
The operation leader replied, "As the investigation supervisor for the Central City area, this individual is a manager, not a combatant. It's highly unlikely that he'd enter the Interchange Area. Furthermore, judging by the information he's receiving, his current area of responsibility isn't in this area. If we don't continue to pursue the information, we can ignore him for now."
And it’s this person we need to focus on…”
The screen flashed and Captain Xu appeared.
"This is Xu Chan, the executive captain of the Processing Bureau. He's very strong. According to evaluations, his strength is probably ranked between 100 and 200. We've confirmed that he will enter the Interfusion Area later and will be our opponent."
The Molujan representative looked at Sadeas, who was sitting nearby, and asked, "Mr. Meriwether, can the Thunder Twins of the Spiral Deep handle such an opponent?"
Sadeas smiled politely. "I have confidence in them. I heard that Molu has brought your company's 'blood diamonds' with him this time." He then looked at the other representatives present. "And with all the powerful fighters you've brought with you, how could we possibly lose?"
The person in charge of the operation said, "Xu Chan should not be underestimated. To deal with this person, we suggest concentrating all our forces to severely injure him immediately and drive him out of the competition."
He looked at Osbert, who was sitting at the head of the conference table. "Mr. Osbert, to defeat someone like this, we need the help of the 'gray whales' of ocean life."
Osbert pondered and said, "I need a detailed action plan. Include this person..." He looked up at Xu Chan's image, "and the execution team leader and the executor of the processing bureau. Also..." He remembered Chen Chuan's behavior just now and said seriously, "Including the investigation director, all of them are included in the plan."
At the processing bureau, the interrogation supervisor walked out of the interrogation room and said to Chen Chuan, who was waiting outside, "Supervisor Chen, I've confessed everything." He handed over the interrogation form, "Here are the results."
Chen Chuan took over, and the three people above all admitted that they were sent by Lianwei Zhongyu to sneak into the central city and carry out a secret operation.
He contacted the legal department of the bureau and asked, "Can this be used to hold the Lianwei Zhongyu branch accountable?"
The legal officer said, "Manager Chen, while that's possible, this report shows their actions were orchestrated by the head office and have nothing to do with the branch. We can't find any contact information between them, so according to regulations, the most we can ask for is a fine from their head office, which will have minimal impact on them."
Chen Chuan said thank you and looked at the interrogation report. According to the confessions of these three people, there was a captain above them, and the two sides transmitted information through telegrams, information boards, and intermediaries, and the information was different each time.
They had never seen this captain before, and they had no idea how strong he was, but without giving it much thought, they knew he was definitely stronger than the other three.
He thought about it and contacted the information team again. The team leader said, "Manager Chen, they are already investigating, but their contact methods are diverse and cautious, so the chances of finding the person are slim."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Have you figured out what that combat creature is?"
The information team leader said, "Analysis of the organism suggests this is most likely a 'burrowing worm mother,' an experimental creation of Compound Eyes. This creature can reproduce large numbers of larvae, which are used to dig underground tunnels and fight. We've already discovered the path of the underground tunnel."
Chen Chuanjie saw a picture of the residential area as soon as he heard the noise. It could be seen that there were underground tunnels dug under the entire area, all of which were dug out during the short period of time that the three people lived there.
He stared at them. There must be one road among them that was convenient for the captain to meet his teammates, but there didn't seem to be any pattern among these dozen roads.
The information team leader then said, "We believe they dug these tunnels not just to facilitate evacuation, but also to create a path to the Intersection Area."
"aisle?"
"Yes, if there are creatures in the field, well, preferably active consciousnesses, then they can use this channel to lead to the fusion area, thereby avoiding all inspections and sending their armed forces in.
Although they still lack the aforementioned essential items, based on the information collected so far, this explanation for their behavior is the most reasonable."
Chen Chuan nodded. This analysis made sense. This time, the personnel from Lianwei Zhongyu Company entered the central city with active consciousness.
He changed his mind and realized that the burrowing worm queen was extremely important. If he could find it and destroy it, it would not be so easy to send another one in.
He asked, "Can we find the current whereabouts of this Earth Digger Mother?"
The information team leader said: "We are tracking it. Such combat creatures need certain high-energy nutrients to move, especially the larvae that reproduce.
Director Chen, if you didn't find the high-energy nutrient supplements at the scene, they must be stored in a secret location nearby, perhaps more than one. We are currently analyzing and investigating, and I believe we will have results soon."
Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you very much. Please let me know as soon as you have any news."
