Chapter 926: Building a Festival and Gaining a Gain
After the armed convoy of the Processing Bureau drove deep into the road for a while, a fork in the road appeared in front of them, with three tunnels leading to different directions.
According to the traces left behind, they should take the road on the left.
However, Xu Chan instructed them to walk on the right.
An employee reminded us, "Manager Xu, according to the blueprint of the lower city, if we choose the tunnel on the right, we may have to take a big detour and walk an extra hour, and we may miss some key traces."
Xu Chan said affirmatively: "This trace must have been left by them on purpose." Even if it wasn't, he didn't intend to take this road. He would not follow the road left for them by the enemy.
"Yes!"
The staff saluted, and the entire convoy immediately turned around and headed along the tunnel. Although they took a longer detour, they did not encounter any obstacles on the first half of the journey. However, when they approached the tunnel exit, they found the road ahead that had been damaged by humans, as well as a large amount of collapsed bricks and stones, and it seemed that the road was blocked.
It seems like we can't go any further after getting here.
Xu Chan remained unmoved. He observed for a while and found that the traffic jam was not too serious. He immediately asked a group of combat creatures in the car to come out and cooperate with the logistics personnel to clear a path.
During this process, he did not just wait here, but got off the car to deploy field information creatures and establish a strong signal connection.
Along the way, he made such arrangements at every intersection and arranged a team of people to be on duty to prevent interference creatures from obstructing communications, ensuring that the scattered teams had smooth communication with the ground and eliminating the possibility of loopholes in the rear.
This time, the three investigation chiefs of the processing bureau have all arrived, and he is in charge of the main breakthrough route, while the other two investigation chiefs are in charge of the other two directions. They will slowly shrink and compress the space, and finally they will be able to block off this area.
By the next day, a road was finally cleared ahead that was barely passable by vehicles.
Xu Chan still chose to sit in the leading vehicle and lead the way himself.
For this operation, he brought not only two of his own trusted men, but also Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque, two people sent by Chen Chuan to provide support.
There are no less than five third-level fighters acting together. This lineup is very powerful. When the mother shrimp split, it was impossible to concentrate such a strong force in one direction.
Behind them were Wei Changan, Luo Kaiyuan, Feng Xiaoqi and others, as well as the team responsible for following and cooperating with them.
Although they are only at the second limit, they are actually the middle force of the bureau, and they are all confident fighters with rich teamwork experience. In addition, they are wearing the most advanced equipment at the moment, so it is no exaggeration to call them elite.
To be honest, if it was just to deal with an ordinary gang, such a team's strength would seem to be wasted, but this time they might have to deal with the remnants of the parliament and some unknown things.
At this time, a voice reminded: "After inspection, there is a risk of collapse in the road ahead." This is the inactive consciousness body in their car, which is responsible for scanning and checking the road conditions at any time.
The convoy stopped immediately, and the engineering team that followed from behind quickly went forward to check, fill in the gaps, and search for the presence of explosives under the protection of the fighters.
After all, operating underground is different from operating anywhere else. A simple explosion is enough to create obstacles and cover. Of course, the large structure of the tunnel cannot be destroyed. These were built with explosion-proof designs. However, after so many years, some of the protective layers on the surface to prevent erosion and microbial invasion, as well as some of the original landscape buildings, have been badly damaged due to lack of maintenance. These are the things that blocked them just now.
While checking, I suddenly heard a buzzing sound, which was getting closer and closer.
Xu Chan was the first to hear it and immediately said, "Everyone, get back to the car!"
Everyone immediately put down what they were doing and retreated to the armored vehicle. Xu Chan stood alone at the front. In less than a minute, he saw dense swarms of insects crawling over and covering the walls of the ground tunnel. The people at the back felt their scalps tingle and got goose bumps all over their bodies.
Xu Chan stood in front without retreating a single step, seeing that the front end of the insect swarm was almost about to rush towards him. At this moment, bang bang bang sounds were heard, and a bright searchlight behind him lit up, followed by an invisible sound wave emanating from inside the vehicle.
Because the central city has been plagued by insect infestations in recent years, this insect repellent sound wave was recently authorized and developed, and its source comes from a special organism.
The effect was very good. The insects that swarmed up seemed to lose their vitality all of a sudden and fell down in large numbers. After about seven or eight minutes, the movement in the tunnel finally stopped.
Xu Chan did not relax. He walked forward a few steps. The ground seemed to be covered with a thick layer of carpet. He felt like he would sink into it when he stepped on it. At the same time, he smelled an unpleasant odor.
He frowned and asked everyone to put on protective masks and connect to oxygen tanks.
This approach proved to be very correct. The insects spontaneously combusted, and the entire tunnel was temporarily covered by flames and smoke, emitting a large amount of harmful gases. The already thin oxygen in the surroundings was also rapidly consumed. If they were not prepared in advance, it would be enough for them to suffer a great loss here.
This kind of insect seemed to be very easy to use as a fuel. It burned for more than an hour before stopping. The tunnel had become completely charred and a strange smell filled the smoke.
Xu Chan did not rush forward, but came to the side of the vehicle, clicked the netherworld pass, and sent a report to the bureau according to the previous practice.
After the smoke had almost cleared, he led the convoy deeper inside.
Because they encountered obstacles from time to time and the tunnel road was damaged, they had to stop for repairs, which resulted in very slow progress. It took them five days to advance two-thirds of the distance.
But Xu Chan was not impatient. He would rather go slower to ensure the safety of his men. Moreover, they kept moving forward. The one who should be under more pressure should be the other party, not them. In the meditation room, Chen Chuan was floating cross-legged. The slightly rippled light outside his body was originally scattered and fluctuating, but at some point, it seemed to be soothed by some kind of power and slowly converged inwards, but there were still wave-like ripples on the surface from time to time.
But even the rhythm of these ripples was gradually becoming smoother and eventually disappearing. In the end, a bright light film was formed that seemed to stick to the surface of the body.
At this time he slowly opened his eyes.
After six consecutive days and nights of uninterrupted practice, he finally subdued his own aura.
This level is easier than expected. The tedious part is the process of straightening out his breath. After all, the power in his body far exceeds that of fighters of the same level. To straighten it out, one needs a lot of patience.
Then the next level is "Connecting the Sky Bridge". If this step can be completed, you can reach the realm of Changsheng Temple.
At this time, he landed, opened the interface, and paid attention to the progress of the lower city area. He could see that an entire area near the northwest corner had been blocked from three directions by investigators from the Processing Bureau.
This area also highly overlaps with the location of the Plague Gang that was previously discovered, so some people behind the scenes are more or less related to the Plague Gang.
However, he did not forget that this operation was mainly to find that existence, and throwing out a bait in front was just an excuse to facilitate their action.
He looked for a while, walked out of the meditation room, clicked on the lower world pass, and asked: "Andun, is there any unusual movement at Green Source Ecological Company?"
Andun replied: "Green Source Ecology Company has no abnormal signs for the time being, and the monitoring data is all normal. Andun will continue to pay attention."
Chen Chuan nodded. Lvyuan Company did not take any action at this time, and it seemed that they wanted to stay out of the matter.
This company is still so cautious and will never directly participate in any action that may be disadvantageous to itself. It must have a deeper agenda for being so forbearing.
After thinking for a while, he clicked on the lower world pass and contacted Xu Chan. After waiting for a while, the other end answered and he asked, "Old Xu, how is the situation over there?"
Xu Chan's voice came out: "Director, we will advance the last section of the road tomorrow. According to previous intelligence, we are likely to encounter fierce resistance.
The environment here is very complex. All the sun trees have been intentionally cleared, and there is almost no light. We have also detected toxins in the air, which has caused some of our vehicle-mounted field creatures to be in poor condition. We have applied for more combat creatures and need to replenish a batch of new equipment. "
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I will immediately give you what you want, and I will apply for a biological expert team from the fusion area to come and cooperate with your operation."
"Thank you, Director."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "The Plague Cult is a complex group, and there may be some evil cult members. According to the previous plan, someone from the Secret Cult Bureau will join your team tomorrow to avoid any accidents. Old Xu, be careful and let me know if there is any situation."
"Director, I understand."
After Xu Chan talked with Chen Chuan, he continued to go deeper. One day later, he found that some patterns that were resembling esoteric rituals began to appear around him.
After knowing this, Director Lei personally led a team to investigate here. After checking, he immediately contacted Chen Chuan.
"Director Chen, I've checked. What Director Xu encountered were some rituals of the old state religion. I can crack them, but I need someone to cooperate. There are some colleagues in the bureau who are capable, but I don't trust them. If I do it alone, it may take a long time. I guess this may be their purpose."
Chen Chuan asked: "What about applying for help from above?"
Director Lei said: "That's fine, but I'm afraid someone will stop us. We can't afford to delay."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Director Lei, you crack it first, and I'll find a way to find someone."
After ending the call, he thought about it. If he showed up himself and used the Great Bright Light Style to cause destruction, it would be very simple. However, if he were to deal with this kind of thing, the noise would be too great. Assuming that existence was there, it would definitely arouse its great vigilance. He could not show up until it was found.
But fortunately, he had thought about this section before and considered it when making the plan. He walked to the side, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. After a while, Liao Donghai's voice came out, "Director Chen?"
Chen Chuan said: "Mr. Liao, please ask Mr. Lan to come over."
"Okay, I'll arrange for an airship to bring Mr. Lan and the others over here."
