Chapter 1065: A glimpse into the chaos in a foreign land

Serrano Chalet is one of the main central cities at the southern end of the west coast of the Federation.

In fact, in terms of prosperity, Pacifica further south is obviously better than here. It is the essence of the west coast.

The reason why the delegation chose this place as their first stop was actually to intentionally avoid the economic and cultural center of the West Coast, making it more convenient for their foreign affairs activities.

Thanks to the weak control of the provincial government over this central city, Dashun has invested heavily here and has penetrated deeply into various fields.

Halfway through the journey, Chen Chuan saw airships that were clearly different from those of the government joining the escort formation. After contacting the other side, he found out that these were dispatched by the branches of Dashun state-owned enterprises set up here, including well-known companies such as Yuan'an Company, Longde Food, and Tiancong Baicao.

Looking at these three companies alone, it can be said that they are involved in everything from food, medicine to arms. In addition, there are some large and small Dashun companies that are also active in this central city.

Today, the southwest corner of the central city of Serranocha Island has almost become the "autonomous region" of Dashun Company. More than 70% of the residents here are Dashun people, or a mixture of Dashun people and locals. From the data, the lifestyle, cultural atmosphere and even language habits of this area are almost the same as those of Dashun.

It can be said that Dashun has huge interests here.

After more than an hour's flight, the visiting group finally saw the outline of the central city, and here the team had to separate temporarily.

As a fighter, and a fighter with great destructive power in Changsheng Temple, Chen Chuan could not enter the central city directly. During his visit, his airships with the other three fighters would be parked at a fixed location outside the city, just like Prabhakar did that day. However, this was an internationally accepted practice, so there was nothing to criticize.

Local state-owned enterprises provided the entire team with all the equipment needed for activities within the central city.

Boundary credentials are not used within the Federation, and an implant called a "cochlear worm" is required to access the field information channel.

Chen Chuan took a look and found that this thing would directly parasitize in the human body and could be considered an implant. The advantage was that it was not easily destroyed and information transmission was fast and stable. The disadvantage was that it was difficult to remove and when attacked by information it would directly affect the host's nervous system and mental state.

The other is a respiratory filtering mask.

A light blue mist lingers year round over the urban area of Serranocha Central and the nearby industrial areas.

After the algae revolution, Donglu uses its own cultivated red algae, which is characterized by low pollution and the byproducts it releases can be quickly decomposed or recycled;

Yinglu is more radical, using cyanobacteria, which can provide more powerful energy output and a wider range of uses, but it will spew out a large cloud of spores. These spores mix with other microorganisms in the air and form a dense bio-pollutant gas above the industrial zone.

Citizens in and outside the central city have to wear masks and filters when traveling, and civilians with deformed bodies or tissue hyperplasia due to inhaling excessive spores can be seen everywhere on the streets. Perhaps only a few wealthy areas and central urban areas are slightly better, where they are usually surrounded by large biological purification communities called "green lungs".

The supervision of various biotechnology experiments here is relatively loose, and many projects can be easily approved by bribing a certain congressman. Therefore, various biological laboratories can be said to be blooming everywhere, ranging from legal medical research and development to gray area biological transformation experiments, and even some research in taboo areas is nothing new here.

This is also the reason why Dashun has been criticizing the federal government for conducting biological experiments and causing various biological pollution, and the people firmly believe it, because this is the fact.

On the other side, watching the airship gradually approach the central city, Prabhakar's followers looked much more relaxed. He said happily: "Master, this mission is completed. After returning to Xiaojue Temple, you can go back and practice meditation with peace of mind."

Prabhakar sighed and said, "I can't feel at ease."

The attendant said with some doubt: "Master has returned to the Federation and has been relieved of his mission. Is there anything else he needs to do?"

Prabhakar said, "Am I on the east coast or am I on the west coast?"

The attendant said in surprise: "The west bank."

Prabhakar said, "Am I an East Coaster or a West Coaster?"

The attendant hesitated and said, "Isn't the master a Zen master from Xiaojue Temple?"

Prabhakar shook his head and said, "But after this incident, from the perspective of the West Coast, I am an East Coaster. So I have no choice but to be an East Coaster."

The follower thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Is this what the master meant when he said, that what I am is what the world sees me as."

"So there is no escape," Prabhakar said.

Although Xiaojue Temple has great strength and influence in the Federation, it has never cared about the whereabouts of the Zen monks in the temple, and perhaps due to past lessons, it is deeply involved in secular affairs.

Therefore, there are often Zen practitioners who come from Xiaojue Temple but are hostile to each other.

He knew this would be the result since he accepted the mission. Whether he was willing or not, he had to accept his new identity. At this moment, he looked back at the airship where Chen Chuan was, sighed silently, clasped his hands together, and silently recited the Zen Sutra.

After Chen Chuan separated from the visiting group, the airship docked at an anchor tower under the guidance of the guide.

Although this place is outside the city, it is also a prosperous commercial area with many service and commission companies. As long as you have enough money, you can enjoy the same services as in the city.

Bian Zhijie, Wang Tongshan and Gui Zihan have already got off the airship and settled down in a designated seaside luxury hotel.

But as a fighter, not only are there team members following him, but there are also federal intelligence personnel watching outside 24 hours a day.

Chen Chuan was not in a hurry to go down. He asked Gao Ming to go and handle the check-in procedures and some identity documents for him. He sat in the main cabin and checked some things he needed to do this time.

There are some key points marked here that require special attention. Their importance and necessity can even be elevated above the visiting delegation in special circumstances.

One thing that may be worth paying attention to right now is the matter involving the First People. Under the conscious cleansing and oppression of the federal government and companies, the First People have gradually retreated to the margins.

The largest gathering place is located in the sparsely populated Arcana continent in the north, where several large tribes of the remaining primitive people gather.

The remaining tribes, large and small, are on the verge of collapse under the pressure of the federation. According to rough estimates, the number of scattered tribes may be less than 200,000.

Two years ago, the Federation or the West Coast Party began to plot against Kawatua, the ancestral land of the First People.

Although this place is not a true religious holy place, according to legend, the ancestors of the First People came from here. And because the succession ceremony of the emperor of the ancient Itza Dynasty was held there every time, it has a unique meaning. Especially considering the current predicament of the First People, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is their spiritual pillar, and its importance can be said to be irreplaceable.

The geographical location here is very important. It is located on Mount Turama and overlooks the entire Plateau of Life.

But these alone are not enough to arouse the covetousness of the West Coast Party, mainly because there is a high possibility that the eternal land of Kuyanaka in the legend of the first people exists here.

It is said that there is an island in the clouds, on which grows a huge sacred tree, Itzaca, whose branches connect the heaven and the earth. Apart from the legend, the Itzaca royal family's collections from past generations are also collected there.

Such a place has actually been coveted by the Federal West Coast Party for a long time, but it is home to several holy land warriors of the original people, and with the assistance of ancient rituals, it is a tough nut to crack. Therefore, the West Coast Party's previous focus was on overseas and it had not taken care of this place for the time being.

However, after failing to support the Ferris Wheel Company, the West Coast Party turned its attention back, seemingly wanting to make up for it from the Chu People.

Judging from the intelligence passed on, this time several cults, several companies, mercenary teams, and bounty hunter groups have formed a team with the support of the West Coast government. Among them are powerful fighters, and they are ready to take this place down in one fell swoop.

Perhaps feeling threatened, the Chuzhimin gathering place had requested assistance from Dashun several times before this, and Dashun actively provided help in this regard, providing a large number of implants, drugs and even a large amount of arms support through local companies.

However, the lack of high-level power among the Chu people is still a major shortcoming. Although there are famous fighters like Akhtawa, the strength invested by the West Coast Party this time should not be underestimated. Chen Chuan has not received any specific intelligence yet, but combined with previous news, the Federation is very likely to have mobilized forces from the military.

And according to the analysis of some scattered intelligence, it is very likely that this time there is more than one fighter who has reached the Secret Palace level, that is, the realm of Changsheng Temple, participating in this operation.

Therefore, there is a note under the message to remind him that if conditions permit, he can lend a helping hand to the Chu people, and the government will provide him with a guarantee, but if things are impossible, he should withdraw in time and not get himself trapped in it. The first thing to ensure is his own safety.

Chen Chuan glanced at the map. Mount Turama was not far from here. It would only take three or four days to get there by airship.

But this matter does not mean that he can help just by lending a hand. Although the Chuzhi people accepted the assistance from Dashun, it does not mean that they regard Dashun as their own. They themselves should also know very well why Dashun wants to support them.

And here he had to consider another thing.

That is Yuanren Company.

This time he was invited to visit the Federation, and it was very likely that this company was behind it, perhaps to target him. It was okay for him to stay in the central city, but if he went outside, he would most likely be targeted.

It is true that he came to the Federation this time to solve the problems of the original company, but under the premise of poor intelligence, he would not act rashly.
