Chapter 828: Crossing Borders to Foreign Lands
Chapter 828: Crossing Borders to Foreign Lands
On December 3, 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 for him to practice simple cultivation.
He still brought Chaoming with him 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 boat waited for him to come up, bowed and said to him: "Mr. Chen, we are the accompanying personnel sent by the Fighting Council to the airship, specifically responsible for your trip this time. If you have any requests, you can tell me."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
"Have a nice trip."
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 residence of the representative of the White Bird District Federation, Mr. Chi was communicating with someone across the street using the boundary pass, saying: "Please tell me, sir, that person suddenly left the central city on an airship today, and no one knows where he is going yet..."
"The airship was probably arranged by the higher-ups. The confidentiality level is very high. I can't find out its specific whereabouts. Yes, it is very likely to be carrying out a national mission.
...This time we had chosen an internal staff to put the thing next to that person, but it failed in the end...It won't be found out. The people we mobilized were transferred from overseas and have no direct connection with the company. He also doesn't know that he is serving the company.
...Okay, then we won't move for now, and we'll 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 to inspect and replenish supplies. After staying here for half a day, it set off.
After flying for another two days, 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 would appear under the ice and snow.
Further away, the river flowing on the snowfield cuts the terrain into fragmented and discontinuous terrain, and converges into a big river at one place. 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 a famous Tianjing Yangchi on it.
Beyond here is the Suojie Mountain, the farthest territorial border in the old times. The mountain range, which stretches for over a thousand miles, divides 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 were galloping across it.
The sky above flickered at this moment, and the crew on the airship introduced him:
"Mr. Chen, the territory of the Bessa Khanate is ahead. We need to rest temporarily at the Lax Maintenance Station ahead. After staying here for two hours, we will head to our destination, the central city of Balktu. Is there anything you need?"
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 Besa Khanate means mountain water. Balktu is the only central city of Besa Khanate, and more than half of the country's population is concentrated here.
This city was also built during the Grand League. The whole city is divided into two parts: the outer circle and the inner circle. The inner circle is located on the Tark Highlands, which also means "the majestic mountain". It is where the dignitaries, religious figures, the elite and foreign talents are allowed to arrive. The outer circle is where ordinary herdsmen and citizens without identity stay.
When the airship arrived here, it could see a large city standing on the plain 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 more it went to the periphery, the looser it became. 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 berth on the edge. It could be seen that there were airships taking off and landing in the sky nearby from time to time, and there were quite a few 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 and it was not appropriate to expose himself in advance.
After getting off the airship, a security team hired by the council was already waiting there. This is what foreigners must do when they come here, even the Dashun people 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 changed to an off-road vehicle and put on a pair of augmented reality glasses, which were a weakened version of the world. In addition to seeing the virtual scene, it only had the functions of simple communication and external scene transmission. Although his mental power was enough to bear and capture the external information he needed, there was no need to waste his energy and he could use it when necessary.
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 that are transmitted over 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 seemed very normal here.
There are many kinds of goods in the market. He took a look and saw everything from traditional handicrafts, such as exquisite felt carpets, finely carved wood objects and traditional silver ornaments, to implants, simple biochemical prostheses, and even biological tissues suspected to be from the fusion land. It gave people a sense of 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 equipped with guns and highly 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 straight there.
After driving for more than fifty minutes, the person in charge who accompanied him said to him, "Mr. Chen, the Chiyun tent is ahead. We will stop there and wait outside. The armed team we hired is on standby 24 hours a day. Mr. Chen can contact us at any time if he needs us."
Chen Chuan nodded and looked forward. The bowl tent was actually a building similar to a tent. It was oval in shape inside and smooth on the outside, like an egg. It had 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 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 you see is a series of fighting arenas of different sizes that are separated from each other. The venue is very spacious. Not far away, there are dozens of strong and sturdy women who are wrestling and attacking each other on a thick felt carpet, making thunderous shouts and occasional muffled sounds of bodies 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 explore the breath that suits his own body. It cannot be said that one is higher or lower, 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 ground. 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 work.
This kind of training intensity can easily eliminate people, and perhaps only those who are truly suitable for this fighting skill 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 people around him have goose bumps and their hair stand on end. They stopped unconsciously and stared blankly at his back as he walked in.
