Atlas of Heaven and Man

After leaving the meeting room, Chen Chuan was temporarily assigned a room within the headquarters of the Patrol Bureau because he had to continue his mission.

As for the set of equipment he received from Lao Feng, after signing a form, it was directly placed here with him. It wouldn't be taken back in the future. If it was damaged, it would be scrapped directly, but he wasn't allowed to sell it. Otherwise, he would be held responsible.

Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, the place he was staying was exactly where he had stayed the last time he came to the headquarters.

After taking a shower, he changed clothes and sat down in the room.

Judging from Commissioner Cao's words, they might face the defense forces of Molan Corporation within the next day or two, so he needed to find a way to cut through that kind of protective clothing.

In fact, the simplest idea was to change weapons, using heavy objects for attacks was often more effective. However, this would affect his original speed and require him to change his original fighting style. It would be far from as smooth as before, and it would be almost impossible to develop combat effectiveness in a day or two.

Replacing the Snow Monarch Blade was also unlikely. After all, he was already used to this blade, and the performance of those standard weapons might not be as good as the Snow Monarch Blade.

Looking at it this way, he could only find a way to improve his strength. In the battle with Tan Wang, the Heavy Cleave Blade Force had proven to be effective.

But there was a problem. The Heavy Cleave Blade Force had a brief charge-up time when activated. There was no problem with one slash, but if he slashed continuously, there would be an imperceptible pause in between, which could lead to a delay in rhythm.

This was still on the premise of having a "second self." If there was no second self, the charge-up and adjustment time might be longer. And against ordinary opponents, a normal slash was enough, which was why he generally didn't use this blade force.

Now that he was facing a difficult problem, he had to find a way to adjust.

After all, the blade manual was created by people, based on the blade manual owner's own experience and understanding, and also taking into account the strength and quantity of their own alienated organs.

And without saying anything else, he dared to say that his own alienated organs were far more numerous and complex than those of the blade manual creator.

When practicing blade force before, he didn't completely follow the manual except for the earliest times, but made some reasonable adjustments himself.

Now, as he could mobilize alienated organs and use them in a more in-depth and comprehensive way, he felt that he could further change the way he used his strength. He was now fully capable and able to solve this problem.

He had ideas before, but didn't have enough time to do it. Now he could settle down and put them into action. Although it would consume a lot of drugs in the process of trying, since the state provided the necessary consumption, he wouldn't be polite.

He first closed his eyes and meditated, harmonizing his state of mind, and slowly mobilized his alienated organs through breathing. After a long time, he picked up the Snow Monarch Blade and slashed out, then after a while, another slash, and then repeated this action. This was from less to more, from shallow to deep, slowly coordinating more alienated organs to participate.

As more and more alienated organs were involved in the use of blade force, he also felt that the connection between blade moves was significantly improved.

But later on, it always seemed to be lacking something. After all, the blade force had to mobilize the alienated organs in the body first, and then transfer it to the Snow Monarch Blade, this process of occurrence led to a slight delay.

But it seems like it could be like this…

At this time, he turned the Snow Monarch Blade, slowly guiding his breathing. After about half a day, the blade began to vibrate continuously, and the red line on the back of the blade seemed to come alive.

This was the real purpose of this blade.

People who could do this didn't need to be reminded, and it was useless to remind people who couldn't.

It completely depended on the blade wielder to comprehend it himself.

The reason why he hadn't discovered it before was because this communication required a process, just like people needed to warm up before exercise, otherwise the transfer would not be smooth. And as a blade, to "warm up", it would take a very long time, just like the time it took just now.

And he had never fought anyone for half a day before. Even the battle with Tan Wang ended in about an hour.

However, this was not unchangeable. First of all, as the fit between the two deepened, this process would be shortened. This was a long-term view. Currently, there was a way to solve it. He could choose to actively communicate in advance, fully warm up, and keep the blade ready for activation at any time.

There was another way, which was to kill some non-threatening opponents first, and then look for the main opponent. Facts had proven that the more intense the battle and the heavier the killing, the more active the alienated organs would become accordingly.

However, this still depended on the specific situation. Assumptions were assumptions, and there were rarely ideal conditions in real battles. But at least in this battle, he should be able to prepare in advance, because he was on the offensive this time and had the initiative.

So in the next two or three days, what he had to do was to warm up the blade in advance and prepare it for battle at any time.

At this moment, in the underground conference room of Molan Corporation, five directors were listening to Director Luo's report. In addition to the construction of the outer defense points of the building, the main points mentioned were the interception of the batch of high-energy nutrient solutions and the assassination of the dispatched personnel.

Director Luo said, "I initially didn't recommend accepting this batch of goods, but several directors insisted, believing that it was the company's assets and there was no reason not to try to salvage them. Therefore, the action team had to send a few elite experts. Among them were two Third-Limit Fighters, and none of them returned this time..."

Speaking of this, his tone was somewhat dissatisfied, "It can be confirmed that they were ambushed on the way to the wasteland. This also exposed a safe passage reserved by the action team, and this loss could have been avoided."

One of the directors said with a slightly stern tone, "Director Luo, I need to remind you again, you can make suggestions and you can question, but whether to adopt them and how to act, all of this is decided by the company. Those two personnel are also the company's assets, not your personal force, Director Luo."

Another director said, "There must be trade-offs in decision-making. Before making a decision, the company will conduct detailed and careful analysis and evaluation. If there is a mistake, it is only because some unfavorable factors were not taken into account. We will question the intelligence department and hold them accountable. This is not something Director Luo should be concerned about.

Director Luo, all you need to do is obey."

Director Luo was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Yes."

"If Director Luo has nothing more to say, then please leave first. The company still has actions to take, and the external action team needs to be on standby at any time."

Director Luo didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

After he left, the pneumatic door of the conference room closed, and the fluorescent panel behind the five Molan Corporation directors suddenly lit up. They also turned to face it.

The fluorescent panel showed a topographic map of Yangzhi, including water systems, mountains, highways, villages, and so on. At this moment, it could be seen that on the eastern coastline, a flashing light was slowly sliding south from the north.

One of the directors slowly said, "According to the telegram just received, two warships from the north have arrived at the Yuanwang Port, including a troop carrier. There are a considerable number of troops inside. They should be coming from the Hangu City direction."

His voice was serious, "This is obviously the Da Shun government preparing to transfer troops from the northern Hangu City military port to the south to deal with us."

Another director thought for a moment and said, "Yuanwang Port is only four hundred kilometers away from Yangzhi City, and there is a national highway connecting them. Once the army lands, the advance troops can almost reach Yangzhi City within a day."

The atmosphere in the conference room became heavy. These Molan directors all understood that this might only be the first batch of troops. Further reinforcements might follow, and at that time, they would only be trapped in the Molan Building.

After a while, one of the directors asked, "Is the news reliable?"

The previous director said, "That's what the observation post there said, but I think this news should be correct, because relying solely on the strength of the various institutions currently remaining in Yangzhi City, it would be difficult to break through our defenses at a lower cost. Using the army can force us to surrender proactively, which is also the lowest cost method."

All five directors fell silent. The key to the matter was that they didn't dare to gamble. If it was true, they would no longer be able to make any choices if they delayed even slightly.

From now on, they must prepare to evacuate.

The director who spoke first said, "I suggest that we immediately activate Contingency Plan Three."

The remaining four directors all seconded the proposal.

Only two hours later, a convoy suddenly drove out of the underground parking lot of the Molan Corporation, which had been quiet for a long time since the Judgment Academy incident, and headed towards the National Highway in the east of the city.

Prior to this, Guo Pangzi, the Bloodscar Gang leader who had been hiding here, was notified by radio in advance to be responsible for the reception. Because he had been outside the city and did not participate in the internal struggles, he had avoided the previous conflict. And because he was outside the city, no one had deliberately tried to eliminate him afterwards.

As soon as the convoy drove out, Commissioner Cao received the news. Realizing that Molan Corporation had begun to act, he was also very decisive and summoned personnel from various departments to the war room for a meeting.

Participants included the Central City Management Bureau, the Secret Sect Review Bureau, the Patrol Bureau, and various government departments in Yangzhi City. Representatives from Wuyi Academy were also sent.

After briefly introducing the current situation, an official from the Yangzhi City Government Office asked, "Now that Molan Corporation has taken action, Commissioner Cao, should we immediately sign an order to pursue them?"

Commissioner Cao said, "This convoy must be destroyed, but it should only be a smokescreen. The National Highway in the east of the city, besides going to the port, can only go to the headquarters in the central city. At this time, going back to the headquarters will only lead to more severe attacks, so they can never go back."

He looked at everyone, "I predict that their main personnel and armed forces will definitely choose to evacuate from another location."

"Then where will they go?" the government official asked.

Commissioner Cao's gaze fell on the sandbox in the middle of the conference room. He reached out and pointed to a certain place, saying, "My judgment is that the place they choose should be here!"
