Chapter 918: The Aftermath of the World Tide

Operation Sunrise was carried out very smoothly, and the central city of Jibei Road seemed to have calmed down again, but things did not end there.

This was like dropping a depth charge into a calm lake, causing enormous waves. After that night, countless telegraph signals were transmitted to various central cities in Dashun and countries around the world.

What happened tonight seemed to be just a local incident in a central city, but its nature alarmed countless people and forces and attracted great attention.

Since the establishment of the Dashun Republic, local and central co-governance has always been the mainstream. Due to the international situation and the external threats posed by the Great Bomb, this situation is currently difficult to change.

Although the pace of government centralization has never stopped, in the past it has only exerted influence on marginal cities and corners, which has not had a significant impact, and the structure of the central city has never changed.

However, after the Sunrise Operation in Jibei Province, everything changed.

For the first time in Dashun, a central city councillor was violently arrested and detained by the Government Affairs Office, which immediately caused panic and vigilance among other central city councils in the country.

The city councils in various places sent letters to the center to inquire about the news. They wanted to know whether the center was preparing to use violent means to reform the system. In addition, many municipal councils began to make preparations secretly. For a while, the atmosphere across the country seemed to become tense.

Amidst the chaos, the central government announced the truth: there were special reasons for what happened in Jibei Province. The Municipal Council openly colluded with foreign forces to secretly introduce fighters and international killers who had not signed the agreement into the exchange area and attacked the local defense director.

The notice also emphasized that this person was a member of the Jibei Province Security Decision-making Group and a military adviser. He played an extremely critical role in the military operations to repel the old imperial family and was a person who had made great contributions to the country.

This is an act that seriously endangers the country, so it must be severely punished. After this notice was issued, the Fighter Council, the Central Council, and the Supreme Security Advisory Group all came out to approve of this matter.

Under the current circumstances of unprecedented security and defense pressure, such behavior of sabotaging the country and colluding with international forces and even the old imperial family is absolutely intolerable. The actions of the Jibei Provincial Government Office are extremely correct and deserve recognition.

After the announcement was released, the unrest in various places suddenly subsided and the originally tense atmosphere gradually calmed down.

But the local municipal councils were not actually appeased, because with this first example, there might be a second one, so the action of accumulating force did not stop. Instead, they were stepping up preparations to avoid similar situations from happening again.

Internationally, countries are also evaluating the future direction of Dashun's situation.

Although it seems that this is just an incident in a local central city, if we look at it in the long run, it is enough to shake the entire political structure of Dashun and have a profound impact on the entire world.

The main participants in this incident also came into the eyes of countries around the world. Among them, Minister of Government Qi Weizhao was labeled as an absolute hawk and reformist.

The most important figure in this incident, Chen Chuan, who also played a major role as a martial artist, also received special attention. The picture hand-painted that night was also sent to the desks of politicians and company executives from various countries.

In this picture, one can see Chen Chuan hovering in the air, with light all around him, like a sun rising in the darkness, and six airships exploding and crashing in the air.

The painter's brushwork is sophisticated, his strokes are precise, and his contrasts are strong. He vividly depicts the panic, fear, and disbelief of the people below, creating a strong impact.

Facts have once again proved that when a fighter decides to attack a certain place, if he does not have corresponding force, he will have no power to fight back.

What is worth noting is that the active consciousness that appeared in this incident using the world's advanced technology was proven to be clearly at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the fighters. They need a stronger and more advanced active consciousness, which has also led to countries and companies around the world trying to brew a new round of technology upgrades.

Linax Federation, on the beach of Dafeng Bay, there are continuous ancient buildings of the Eastern Continent, which look like a small palace complex. But the surrounding area is heavily guarded, there are military outposts on the high ground nearby, and airships are cruising back and forth in the sky.

In the main hall, the young man in ancient clothes put down the picture in his hand, his eyes full of solemnity. After a while, he pointed at the boundary.

The call was quickly connected, and he asked, "Mr. Xiang, have you read the news?"

The person on the other side replied: “I saw it.”

The young man pointed out bluntly: "This operation has failed."

The person on the other side said, "We were prepared for failure this time, Mr. Gao. We didn't suffer any loss this time, and there is no concrete evidence to trace the original company."

Mr. Gao said expressionlessly: "I don't care about the loss, I care about your next action, is there any way to eliminate the target?"

The person on the other side said, "I have combined various data analysis and found that the target is growing very fast and is now receiving attention from all levels of Dashun. It is difficult to do anything to him within Dashun, but we can invite him to the Linax Federation, and then we will have many options."

Mr. Gao frowned, seeming to be somewhat resistant to this. He still didn't say anything, but just asked: "What is your specific plan?"

"The country has previously sent an exchange delegation to Dashun. We asked the delegation to send a batch of invitation letters to Dashun in the name of promoting exchanges between the two countries."

Mr. Gao thought about it and realized that this matter was indeed feasible. The former Supreme Governor of the Federation stepped down last year due to the loss of foreign interests, and the newly appointed Supreme Governor did not intend to take back the foreign forces and continue to fight against Dashun. Instead, he focused on the Western Continent and was trying to ease the relationship with Dashun.

Under this premise, it is not surprising to issue an invitation.

He said, "That's it." He also reminded, "Remember, don't let anyone know about this."

The person on the other side said, “Mr. Gao, I promise you.”

It was mid-June. While there was chaos and telegrams flying around outside, Chen Chuan's place was peaceful and calm. In order to avoid too much attention, he took administrative leave for these days.

According to Qi Weizhao, this is just a temporary commotion. The system of Dashun determines that it is difficult for the central cities to interfere with each other. Instead, they need to worry more about international influence and public opinion.

After all, the central city is an important node for resisting major collisions. This nature determines that its management cannot be entirely decided by a single country, and it also needs to be subject to international supervision in some places. This is precisely the source of the confidence of the municipal council in the past.

It is said that an international investigation team has been formed and will most likely come to the central city in the near future. We need to consider how to deal with it then.

But this is work that needs to be done by the Government Department.

He was still in charge of security and defense. Although the city council had completely resolved the issue, he did not let down his guard. Until that person was found, he could not feel at ease and the apparent peace was still false.

However, this matter may have to be put aside for the time being. A report came from Yuan'an Company that some relics have been separated from the bodies of the two ancient fighters, so he has to return to Yangzhi in the near future. Some things need to be dealt with after he comes back.

In the lower city, two people wearing protective glasses and hoods, and wearing gray-green protective clothing were walking in the bottomless tunnel. They were covered up tightly.

People outside might not be able to tell who they are by the way they are dressed, but people in the lower city will know at a glance that they are members of the Plague Gang. Of course, they call themselves the Plague Cult, and even in the lower city, everyone avoids this group.

One of them had a flashlight in his hand and shone it casually. In a flash, he could see paintings all over the wall. The paintings were either swirling whirlpools or twisted and weird entanglements that looked like eyes and mouths.

The deep, dark holes inside seemed to be able to suck people in and make people feel dizzy just by looking at them, so they quickly put away the flashlights and just looked at the road ahead.

After walking for a long time, they suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if someone was whispering, or something was moving.

The two men stopped and shone the flashlight to the side, and saw a long-haired man lying on the wall, his fingers full of bright red paint, tracing some patterns. However, the strange thing was that all this seemed to be done without any light source or any additional help.

Even though he was illuminated by the light, the man did not stop and continued to paint.

At this moment, one of them saw something on the screen seemed to move. He was startled and took a closer look. It was clearly still a pattern. It seemed like he was seeing things.

Another person spoke up, "Hey, painter."

After being called, the man suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at them, revealing a pale face under the light.

The cult member said to him, "The third batch of experiments will be released soon, don't die."

After saying this, without caring whether he heard it or not, the man said to his companion, "Let's go", and the two left together.

About half an hour after the two left, there was a rustling sound in the tunnel. It was countless insects rushing out from an open gate, densely covering the entire underground space and pouring out.

However, when passing through that tunnel, there were intensive gnawing sounds, and then everything became quiet again.

The two cult members returned to their original place and checked with flashlights. They found that the ground and walls of the tunnel were all covered with sticky blood and residue. Some of the blood was stained on the edges of the limbs and mouths of the pictures, as if the entire mural had come alive during that period of time.

The long-haired painter was sitting cross-legged with his back to them, fiddling with something.

The two men said nothing and left quickly. After the lights went out, the tunnel fell into darkness again. After a while, rustling sounds were heard again.
