Chapter 427 The blending place
Lao Qi made arrangements, and Chen Chuan returned to the college dormitory and drafted a report to the processing bureau.
Although he was sure that the esoteric materials he used were fine, it was hard to say what Hao Zhuo sold to others.
The other party traced Lao Qi to Lao Qi's place, probably because Lao Qi frequented the place. He was not only a regular visitor, but also an acquaintance, and there were clues to follow.
But there is no guarantee that those sold by others will be fine, especially when it comes to the Plague Gang, an organization involved in cults. It is hard to say whether it will cause any trouble.
After sending the report, he continued to make preparations before departure. In particular, he had to bring some special medicines. Even if he was on a mission, he could not delay his fighting practice. Ordinary medicines should be distributed there, or at least there are channels to purchase them.
, but he still brought some with him.
As for the equipment, he prepared several sets of commonly used clothes. Firearms and long and short knives were maintained and wiped before being put into the box. He also brought a can of tea.
Just as he was getting ready, the alert sounded. He glanced at it and saw a voice message sent from Qingnang Yufang.
Because I have been a drug trialist, I still send out advertisements for pharmaceutical products every once in a while, and I continue to send out invitations.
In the beginning, it was Supervisor Fan who tried to win over him, but after seeing that he didn't respond several times, the person who summoned him was changed to a subordinate employee.
He didn't set a rejection setting. There might be cooperation with such a big company in the future, but now he didn't have that interest, so he crossed it out casually.
After another day of rest, Director Ji didn't come until the afternoon to inform: "Executor Chen, if you are ready, please come to the processing bureau now."
Chen Chuanchuan said: "I'll be there soon." He packed up all the things, came out of the dormitory, and drove all the way to the processing station.
Director Ji was waiting for him here. After taking him into the conference hall last time, there was a man in uniform, with a mustache and a kind expression waiting for him, and behind him was someone who looked like an assistant.
Director Ji introduced: "This is Counselor Pei from the Jibei Road Command Office of the Ministry of Defense."
Counselor Pei came up and shook hands with Chen Chuan enthusiastically, "Welcome, Executive Chen, we welcome young heroes like you to join our defense team."
Chen Chuan greeted him: "Hello, Counselor Pei."
Counselor Pei greeted him, then straightened his expression and said: "Executive Officer Chen, in view of your joining, according to the regulations of our command office, your rank will be automatically upgraded by one level, so I formally inform you that you are now
You are a first-level executive officer under our command office. Your uniform, gun and sword will be issued to you after you arrive at the military station under our command office."
Chen Chuan saw that his own information popped up, and quickly updated it. The label below changed from Level 2 to Level 1 Executive, and said: "Thank you, Commander Pei."
His level, placed locally, is equivalent to the status of deputy director of the patrol bureau. If he is within the administrative system, he can directly enter such a powerful and violent organization.
But this is only in theory. In fact, few third-level fighters are willing to go to places where there are no resources and they are subject to control.
At the command post, at this level, he can already lead a team on his own, and the team's main force has at least two third-level fighters. As for the higher level, it is the executive captain level, and he can manage two to three teams.
Counselor Pei looked at the lower boundary and said, "It will take a while to reach the defense zone. Executive Chen, let's talk as we walk."
He should go forward first, and Chen Chuan followed him out with the assistant. When they got outside and took the elevator, the assistant went up and pressed two numbers, and the elevator began to sink.
Chen Chuan's mind changed. This conference room was already underground. Now if we continue going down, is this going to Xiacheng District?
But then I thought about it, although Xiacheng District is not small, it is actually an independent and scattered space. Each area is connected by tunnels and is not hollowed out. In fact, most of the unopened underground space should still be controlled in Shangcheng District.
in hand.
Not just the government, but also major companies.
There was no specific number of floors displayed as the elevator went down, but it stopped for about half a minute. The elevator door opened to both sides, the assistant stepped aside, and Counselor Pei and Chen Chuan walked out of it together.
What appeared in front was an underground station, where a train with only three carriages was parked. Under the illumination of the tunnel lights, one could see that both ends of the track lead to depths beyond the reach of the eye.
There were several officers on duty here. When they saw them approaching, they all put down their guns and saluted with a clatter.
Commander Pei looked at the time again and said, "Just right." He turned around and said, "Executive Officer Chen, follow me."
Chen Chuan looked at it, nodded, and followed him into the first carriage.
When we got inside, we found that the environment here is very good. The car walls are decorated with finely carved decorative panels, the car seats are leather sofas, and the ground floor is covered with thick carpets.
After Counselor Pei asked him to sit down, he also sat down and asked his assistant to make two cups of tea. He said: "The passage to the defense area is only open at two times every day, at five o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the evening. If you miss it,
After that, it’s just a matter of waiting for the next day.”
The assistant brought the tea, and the train beneath him began to slowly start.
Counselor Pei picked up the tea and said politely: "While Executive Chen is participating in the defense mission, Executive Chen, your establishment is at our headquarters, and we will inform you of the specific actions when they are available."
Chen Chuan nodded. Since he had not participated in the defense yet, many things were not made public and transparent to him. Only after going there would he know.
After the train traveled for about seven or eight minutes, Counselor Pei looked at his watch and said, "It's right in front."
When he said these words, the front suddenly became brighter, as if he had exited a tunnel and then came to an open land.
Chen Chuan glanced outside, was this... out of Central City?
wrong!
He looked back and saw an endless plain behind him. There seemed to be shadows of mountains in the distance. There was no shadow of the central city. Even the topography was completely different.
At this moment, the train was running on the long railway track. It was fine up close, but from the side window, the sky was covered with clouds, and occasionally there were flashes of lightning.
Counselor Pei smiled and said, "We have entered a place of communion."
He waited for a moment and then said: "Director Ji should have talked to Executive Chen, right?
Each central city is the forefront intersection of the two worlds, and through these intersections, you can enter the blending place, which is the middle zone between the two worlds.
This is a vast area, and we have not been able to find the boundary yet. Many theories have been proposed about this place..."
He picked up the tea cup and gestured outward, "Most people think that this was born naturally from the collision of two worlds, but some people think that this is the land that was taken away from us by the opposite world in the past period of change.
and space.”
Having said this, he took a sip of tea and smiled, "There is another bolder one, saying that the collision of worlds is not just ours, but there are many worlds, many worlds are converging to one place, and eventually they will
A brand new world will be formed, and our world will also be swallowed up."
He became a little more serious at this time and said: "No matter which one is correct, this is what theorists and technicians have to verify. What we have to do is to eliminate those unstable factors before anything happens and ensure that
The stability of the barrier of the World Ring."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly.
Counselor Pei put down the tea cup and added: "There are only two short time periods every day when we arrive at the blending place. The other times are closed. This is to try to ensure that our world is not penetrated, because every time we pass through, we have come
, but it will also lead to something coming to us."
Chen Chuan glanced outside, and he didn't know when the fog started to form behind him, and the end of the railway track was shrouded in thick fog, which seemed to have blocked the way.
He asked: "Are they those existences?"
Counselor Pei shook his head, "Not entirely. We still can't completely figure out what is missing, but there must be something."
He said seriously: "So we must try to reduce frequent exchanges as much as possible. Therefore, some troops and personnel in the command office will be stationed here for a long time. And for such stationed personnel, we will have higher treatment.
He smiled again, "But Executive Chen has just arrived, so he can get familiar with the situation here before deciding what to do."
Chen Chuan looked at his realm token at this time and saw that the communication function still seemed to be maintained, but the people in Central City could not be contacted. He asked: "Can the realm token still be used here?"
Counselor Pei said: "Although the field biological connection points we have buried nearby are not as large as the field of the mother, it can be within the range of the connection points, which is enough to maintain basic communication functions."
As he said that, he reached out and clicked. Chen Chuan immediately received the contact addition, so he added the other party to the communication list.
At this time, he accidentally glanced and saw that a mountain on the horizon seemed to be moving. But when he looked again, it was completely normal, as if he had just been dazzled.
But he knew that this would not happen to him.
Maybe it's because this place is close to the opposite world, so this kind of anomaly appears again?
He looked outside for a long time. This place was lonely and strange, and seemed to hide many unpredictable things.
After the train had been traveling for more than an hour, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, thick dark clouds piled on top, and the vast sky became darker.
Counselor Pei said at this time: "We are here."
Chen Chuan could see that it was a fortress built along the hillside. From the exposed area, one could see the light of the searchlights shining on the heavy watchtower in the wind and snow.
After the two got off the car, a strong wind blew snowflakes. It could be seen that Counselor Pei was well prepared and he was wearing thick clothes.
Chen Chuan just felt a little chilly, as if he had been stuffy indoors for a long time. He opened the window and took a breath of fresh air, which made him feel more energetic.
Counselor Pei tightened his clothes and said jokingly: "No matter how many times I see it, I still feel a little envious. Let's go in first."
After going through the strict entry and exit procedures, as the metal gate in front rose, the three people entered the fortress.
Chen Chuan asked: "Counsellor Pei, what are we guarding against here?"
Counselor Pei said: "Do you still remember what I told Executive Chen about the theories just now?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
"There are not only us in this area, but also other creatures. According to a certain theory, they may be things from other ancient worlds, or they may be the existence before our world. Well, there is no conclusion yet."
Counselor Pei looked outside and saw that the heavy fortress gate was slowly lowering from above. He said slowly: "They are not friendly to us."
