As they stepped into the light, the figures of these individuals were fully revealed. They were giants encased in heavy biological armor.
The armor was a uniform grayish-brown, covering the head, face, torso, and limbs, appearing thick and robust. However, their movements were not sluggish; instead, they seemed quite agile, though they deliberately reduced their speed at this moment.
This was a military external implant. Most implants are external to the body, yet connected to internal organs and nerve tissues, forming a separable but interconnected whole.
Implant technology is very popular in the Linax Federation. Da Shun also has research in this area, but lags behind somewhat. It is said that this gap is due to relics.
In the Linax Federation, there is a specialized army armed with external implants, known as the Ever-Brave Legion. These individuals are uniformly referred to as "Giant Guards."
After the Giant Guards came out, they lined up neatly on both sides of the carpet and the giant beast armed vehicle. They held cold and hot weapons suitable for their size, and from the arched parts on their backs, it was clear that they also carried other biological weapons.
When Chen Chuan saw this, he suddenly noticed that the energy fieldscreen had become somewhat blurred, making it difficult to see clearly. This was likely due to the Linax Federation interfering with the energy field to some extent.
He thought for a moment and said, "Safe Shield, give me a personnel list report of the Linax Federation."
"Safe Shield received, Supervisor Chen. Please be ready to receive. Due to the confidential nature of the personnel list, it will be deleted in ten minutes."
Shortly after, Chen Chuan received a document uploaded via Boundary Token. Because the other party was a visiting diplomatic team, they had provided Da Shun with a list of traveling personnel in advance.As the Investigation Director of the Processing Bureau, he was qualified by position and level to review this list.
He looked at it and saw that the Linax Federation's diplomatic team had a relatively high profile, led by a state director, with a military advisor as the deputy team leader, and accompanied by several Linax Federation Company representatives.
Among them was the Giant God Plant Corporation, which had previously cooperated with Jibeidiao Central City. The plants in the Lower City District were originally imported from Giant God Plant, but for some undisclosed reason, Giant God Plant Corporation was expelled at the time and had not since established any branches or outposts in Jibei Province.
After reviewing the administrative and Company representatives, he focused on the accompanying armed personnel, mainly Martial Artists.
There were a total of fifteen Third-Limit Martial Artists on the list, most of whom were from the Army.
But three people were special. These three were covered in a grayish-white bandage, their bodies were thin, and only their eyes were exposed.
According to the brief introduction, these three were all from the Sagul Boxing School, a martial art originally from the isthmus connecting the East and West Continents, and also a well-known Martial Combat style.
In old times, this boxing school gave birth to a dozen branches and produced a number of experts. One branch was brought to the Linax Federation during the Great Migration, where it took root, propagated widely, and now has produced a number of internationally renowned Martial Combat experts.
People of this style are usually hired as security personnel because their bodies are incredibly tough, almost comparable to Iron Body Internal Force, and they can maintain combat effectiveness even with physical disabilities, and internally advocate a moral code of loyalty.
After reading it, he pondered. The fact that the Linax Federation chose Jibei Province as its first stop meant that they definitely had designs on the relics.
So these people should only be the ones in the open, and there might be more armed personnel entering the Central City underground.
Ten minutes later, the list was automatically deleted from the Boundary Token.
He was about to check some other Data when a voice sounded on the Boundary Token: "Supervisor Chen, this is Wu Quan. If you have time, come to my office now."
Chen Chuan said, "I have time, I'll be right over."
He left the office and went to Director Wu's office. The duty officer in front of the door saluted him and opened the door for him.
After walking in, Director Wu was waiting. He first asked the duty officer to pour tea, then invited him to sit on the side, and then said, "I saw that Supervisor Chen, you just called up the Linax diplomatic team's list? That's very good. We must pay attention to them at all times and actively understand them, but that's just the surface."
He produced a report from the side and pushed it over from the glass tea table, "This one is more detailed, take a look."
Chen Chuan reached out and picked it up. This list had much more information than the previous one, especially the armed personnel, which was almost four times more, most of whom were staying on the naval ship in the rear.
And he also saw that this time, there was actually a Martial Artist from the Linax Federation following the diplomatic team.
However, the person was neither on the ship nor had landed in Central City, but was staying on an airship parked on an island in the outer sea.
Director Wu said, "I've read the reports of the people you arrested. The subsequent actions should be Union's small moves, because the mercenaries who are deployed are going through the Commission Company route, so there is no direct evidence pointing to them. Next, they will not give up.
And now, the Linax Federation is about to join in."
He pointed to the document in Chen Chuan's hand, "Every person on the list you see, and those armed personnel from Union, are all potential enemies, and each of them may enter the Convergence Zone after a period of time."
Chen Chuan looked up and asked, "Can the Linax Federation's diplomatic team personnel also enter the Convergence Zone?"
Director Wu said in a deep voice, "This time, it's not just the Government team that's coming, but also the Security guard armed personnel from several Companies. These armed personnel are ostensibly not allowed to do anything other than protection, but they can use certain regulations to transfer personnel to local Companies, and then let them "support' the Convergence Zone, so as to achieve the purpose of entering it in disguise."
Chen Chuan originally wanted to ask, how can such an obviously flawed regulation exist there? But when he thought of the Municipal Council, he immediately understood.
"It seems you've figured it out."
Director Wu said to him, "We are now working to abolish this regulation, but the resistance is also great.
We are never afraid of external enemies, but we fear internal enemies. We have made many efforts, but some people are always destroying our efforts.
The current situation does not allow us to do things in a drastic way, we can only scrape the skin little by little, but even so, it is difficult to maintain the results obtained for a long time, and if we are not careful, we will have to give them away."
Chen Chuan understood what he was saying. For example, the Government destroyed the Ferris Wheel Corporation, expelled the outside world's presence, and expanded and consolidated its authority, but this move also attracted a counterattack from the Municipal Council.
Their actions have been constant, whether it was the previous United Body Delegation or the arrival of the Linax Federation diplomatic team, all of which can be seen as a continuation of this counterattack.
Director Wu said, "Even for the sake of what has been paid before, we must win this battle. The relics in the Convergence Zone are crucial. We must find a way to find them and not let the Municipal Council or Union or even the Linax Federation take them.
This time, the Ministry of Defense has decided to send Lao Xu and the others out, so that the situation in the Convergence Zone can be stabilized."
When Chen Chuan heard that even people like Captain Xu were being sent out this time, he knew that the higher-ups were Anomalously attaching importance to this matter.
"But we have too few people. A batch of people have already been sent to support the Convergence Zone, and the remaining people with Strength need to be used to protect important people and be responsible for the security of several important areas. If we transfer people like this again, many places will not be able to take care of it."
Director Wu said in a deep voice, "Supervisor Chen, regarding the task given to you, I can only ask you to put in more effort. For a period of time, the support that the bureau can give you will be very limited, but I can still support you with funds and quotas. If you need it, submit a report to me."
Chen Chuan nodded.
He understood this. This incident could be said to be another critical node since Mother Split, and its intensity was even greater.
You should know that last time, it was just some more ordinary mercenaries and mercenary groups from home and abroad that came, but now, judging from yesterday's situation alone, some well-known international mercenary organizations are participating.
And during the Mother Split period, the Government departments actually lost a lot of manpower.
It is easy to replenish ordinary personnel, but not elite personnel. And now, only three months have passed, and some gaps have not been filled, and suddenly they have to deal with such a difficult situation, it is indeed very difficult.
He said seriously, "Director Wu, you can rest assured about the task you have given me. I will complete it."
Director Wu looked at him for a moment, nodded, and said, "Let's end the conversation here today."
He stood up and extended his hand, "Supervisor Chen, the situation is difficult, I hope we can work together to overcome this difficulty."
Chen Chuan stood up and shook his hand, saying, "I will."
After finishing the conversation here, he walked out of Director Wu's office, left the Processing Bureau directly, and took a special car back to Wuyi Academy.
After spending the night at the Academy, the next morning, Chen Chuan took Zhao Ming to the Port and took a small airship to the sea to continue his daily SpiritCultivation.
In order to avoid missing any important information, he specially brought a Telegram operator from the Processing Bureau on the airship, so that he could rush back at any time in case of an emergency.
After the airship stopped at a certain location at sea, he held the Snow Emperor Blade in one hand and carried the luggage bag in the other, walked into the internal cabin, and then took out the spine.
The last time he killed the existence in the relic, he succeeded dangerously, but he knew that entering again might be very dangerous.
However, when he entered the previous few times, he did not Merge with his Second Self, but relied purely on his own Strength, so that the progress of the main body could also drive the progress of the Second Self.
Now, relying on the main body, he has almost reached the limit he can fight against, so this time, he decided to use the Second Self, so that he can face a stronger existence.
He pulled out the Snow Emperor Blade, and with a thought, the Second Self instantly merged with him, and then he reached out and took the spine over.
As Spirit communicated again, in an instant, he once again stood on the monster's wrinkled body.
And this time, he had just appeared here, when a huge shadow enveloped him.
