Chapter 927: Secretly Watching the Evil Plan
Chapter 927: Secretly Watching the Evil Plan
Half a day later, the Lan Shengu brother and sister, who set out from Yuan'an Company, arrived at the central city of Jibei Road.
They were very professional and had read all the information they could on the way here. After arriving, they made some preparations and then took a car into the lower city area. They arrived at the area outside the ceremony that evening, and after a careful discussion with Director Lei, they cracked the ceremony smoothly.
Usually, in a tantric ritual, the entire ritual can be destroyed by destroying a few nodes, so with the cooperation of two people, the progress speeded up.
The follow-up troops of the Processing Bureau also quickly caught up, and after two days of efforts, they broke into the core area of the Plague Gang and engaged in a firefight with the gang members on the periphery. However, these people's combat skills were not high, and they mainly relied on a large number of strange insects, swarms of combat creatures, and the ubiquitous poisonous smell.
It is actually very simple to overcome each of these attack methods individually, but it is more difficult to overcome them in combination. Fortunately, there are quite a few fighters involved this time, and after several successful breakthroughs, they occupied several key tunnels in succession.
According to intelligence analysis, they have already rushed to the deepest part of the original planned lower city area. Going further down should be the last stronghold of the Plague Gang. Speaker Quan, the bait, was brought into this area.
Before the attack, the assault force also sent a request to their superiors for a breakthrough.
After receiving the news, Chen Chuan immediately agreed to the action request, and at the same time left the villa and took an airship to the sky above the northwest corner corresponding to the lower city area.
It is more convenient to communicate with the people below from here, and once the situation changes unpredictably, he will immediately take action to provide assistance and ensure that the crisis there does not spread outward.
He had made full preparations for this operation. Before setting off, Xu Chan, Yuan Qiyuan, Qin Qingque, Wei Changan, Luo Kaiyuan and others all had a wisp of his spiritual power attached to them, which could help them resist if they suffered extraordinary attacks.
This is an ability he acquired after mastering the Great Bright Light Style, but even so, he is not a divine fighter. His mental strength will dissipate quickly over time. Even if his mental strength far exceeds that of fighters at the same level, it cannot be avoided. However, it should be no problem for him to continue until the end of the entire operation.
While he was paying attention to the breakthrough situation on the airship, a letter from the Government Affairs Office was sent to him. He took a look and found that it was an apology letter from Lianwei Zhongyu.
The company did not wait until here to take the initiative to investigate, but gave an explanation in advance.
According to the company's explanation, one of the company's directors privately accepted illegal business orders from certain people, resulting in the leakage of the active consciousness organism that was still in the experimental stage.
This incident has had a serious impact on the company's reputation, so the person in charge was removed from the board of directors. Out of a responsible attitude towards the current security situation, the company will also provide compensation or designated investment to Jibei Road Central City.
Chen Chuan saw that Director Xing had merely withdrawn from the board of directors, and other than that, he had not received any other punishment.
However, Lianwei Chongyu is unlikely to impose too severe a punishment, because doing so would prove that they admit that they have made serious mistakes.
After reading it, he put the letter aside. Lianwei Zhongyu would have to be dealt with sooner or later, but he had more important things to do right now, so he put it aside for now.
In the lower city area, after obtaining authorization from above, the action team below broke into the last area. When the action personnel rushed out of the tunnel, they saw a surprising scene.
What appeared before them at this moment was a huge honeycomb-shaped building, supported from the ground to the top. The outside was full of insects of all sizes, and there was a flickering light inside the nest.
The team members observed carefully. The area where the tunnels intersect is the living area reserved during the planning and design. If all the facilities and conditions are met, it will be enough to become a small town. Judging from the difficulties encountered along the way, the Plague Gang may have a greater role in creating this thing here.
Xu Chan observed and quickly drew up a battle plan with the combatants around him. He then mobilized most of the team's fighters and advanced forward cautiously under his leadership.
Unexpectedly, the resistance on the road was not strong. Apart from the same harsh environment and the influence of insects as before, they only encountered some small outposts and fortifications.
However, the Plague Gang's members obviously did not have high military literacy. Although their fortifications were designed reasonably, they were not able to make good use of them and were easily broken through. Instead, these became their forward footholds, and they quickly relied on them to break through to the vicinity of the big nest.
At this moment, the details of the building can be clearly seen, but there seems to be no main entrance. The entrance should be underground. However, in order not to be restricted by the opposite side, the demolition team goes up under cover to place explosives and blast a path directly from the outside.
In fact, because the roads have been opened and a solid rear has been established, it is possible to transport some heavy artillery if necessary.
Facts have proved that under the absolute use of force, the so-called unwelcomeness in the downtown area and the hostility of the gangs are meaningless. Especially after knowing that this action is not aimed at them at all, they stay away and no one intends to come up and seek death.
Director Lei had been following the action team. When he arrived here, he looked solemn and said to Lan Shen Gu beside him, "Mr. Lan, did you see it?"
Lan Shen Gu stared upwards, his expression grim as he said, "This should be a cage built according to some kind of sacrificial ritual. It has some of the styles of the Western Continent and foreign secret ritual sects, but its essence is the Eastern Continent's old religious philosophy."
He paused, as if calculating something silently, and after a while he looked up and said, "The structure and position are correct, even if they are not correct."
At this moment, he felt his sleeve being pulled down. He turned around and saw that his cousin Xiaoyi's face inside the protective shield was a little pale. He asked with concern, "Xiaoyi, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiaoyi said timidly: "Brother, let's go..."
Lan Shengu's expression suddenly changed, and he whispered, "Is there a situation?" Xiaoyi nodded vigorously.
Lan Shengu was shocked. He knew his cousin's ability. If she really saw something, it would mean... He held down Jie Ping and asked in a code word that only the two of them understood: "Is it dangerous?"
"Dangerous! Very, very dangerous!" Xiaoyi gave this affirmative answer, and tears were about to come out of her eyes.
Lan Shen Gu suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He had never seen his cousin so scared before, which meant that what she saw this time must be very serious.
So are we leaving now?
But there is no good excuse at all, and if any problems arise here after they withdraw, the government will definitely conduct a post-investigation, and my cousin's abilities may still be exposed.
He gritted his teeth. If he couldn't do it, he could only take the initiative to detonate it. At this time, he could only believe that the Jibei Road Government Office was capable of solving it. He thought of the figure he had seen before, and he couldn't help but have some confidence.
He comforted his cousin, "Xiaoyi, don't be afraid. There are fighters in the central city of Jibei Road. We will be fine."
Then he turned and came to Director Lei and said, "Director Lei, if the ritual inside is activated, it may cause some unpredictable changes. We must act immediately to find the source of the ritual and destroy it as soon as possible."
Director Lei had thought of this just now, but he was not sure about it alone. Seeing Lan Shengu mentioned it on his own, he said, "Mr. Lan, I will go in with you. Your cousin should stay outside. I will have someone send her to the ground. Someone will take good care of her."
Lan Shengu looked at him in surprise, then said seriously, "Thank you. I'll leave it to you then."
Director Lei immediately arranged for the bureau's personnel to send Xiaoyi up, and he quickly came to Xu Chan and said, "Captain Xu, maybe you should change your strategy."
Inside the building, Speaker Quan and his youngest son Quan Yu were having dinner at the invitation of the middle-aged man. As he was cutting a piece of tender steak with a knife and fork, he suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from outside.
He looked at the middle-aged man, "It seems you have been found."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Chairman Quan, don't worry. We still have a kind of humus spores in the inner layer. This thing has extremely strong diffusion ability and can parasitize the human body. It has great adaptability to the environment. If they don't want these to leak to the surface, they can only take their time. This period of time is enough for us to activate our backup plan."
Speaker Quan did not ask what his backup plan was. He said with a relaxed expression, "The safety of my father and I is in your hands."
The middle-aged man said solemnly, "Chairman Quan, your safety is our first priority." He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go take care of things outside first. Chairman Quan, enjoy your meal."
Having said that, he nodded, stood up from the table, and left with his people.
Quan Yu looked at the people who left, turned around and said, "Dad, the people here respect you very much."
Speaker Quan suddenly sighed and said, "It's my fault."
Quan Yu was stunned, "Dad, what did you do wrong?" Then he suddenly said, "Dad, are you talking about the parliament? It's not your fault." He said angrily, "It's all because those people in the parliament refused to listen to you!"
Speaker Quan shook his head and said, "I mean that I didn't educate you well in the past, so you all became stupid."
Quan Yu was immediately dissatisfied. "Dad, how can you say that? I am the most filial to you. They all scolded you that day and refused to leave, but I didn't. Although I didn't go abroad, I was worried about your health, so I just hid in a remote city."
Speaker Quan sighed again, "This is all you have left. Bring me the medicine I brought with me."
"Oh..." Quan Yu handed him a pill.
After the chairman took the medicine, he solemnly told him: "I will sleep for a long time in a while. Don't go anywhere during this time. Just stay by my side. If someone comes in and asks you, just say you know nothing."
Quan Yu said: "Dad, I don't know anything in the first place."
Speaker Quan looked at his clear eyes, not knowing whether to be relieved or disappointed, and nodded and said, "It's that look, keep it, and help me go back."
"Oh."
