Atlas of Heaven and Man

Commissioner Liang wasn't entirely satisfied with the outcome, but it was within expectations.

After all, the Department of Political Affairs was mostly a manager and implementer; specific policy proposals, once submitted, still had to go through the Central City Council.

However, the council represented various interests, making it difficult to coordinate and pass seemingly radical proposals.

In fact, such proposals wouldn't have even been brought up or discussed in the council more than a decade ago. It was only in recent years, with the Great Shun government gradually gaining control, that the Central City Council had yielded somewhat.

But the key to everything lay in the handling of this particular incident.

If it could be resolved smoothly and the crisis overcome, the Jinbei Province government's influence and prestige would undoubtedly rise to a new level. Many decisions from higher authorities could also be steadily advanced. Conversely, its credibility would suffer a major blow, and if things went wrong, the little progress made with great difficulty would be reversed.

Yet, this was a problem that the Central City government had to address and face.

After some thought, he asked, "How are the various companies doing?"

The female assistant said, "All the state-owned enterprises and related companies have agreed to cooperate, but the most unstable points are in these areas..."

She pointed with her pointer, indicating several places one by one, "Skywheel Company, Lianwei Heavy Drive Company, Bolun Company, Green Source Ecology Company, and so on, all have obvious abnormal behaviors..."

Commissioner Liang looked at them. The common characteristic of these companies was that most of them were foreign-owned, and a small portion of domestic companies also had significant multinational capital involvement.

On the other hand, the branches of some global giants seemed to have no unusual activity. This was understandable, because even if these large companies had ideas, they wouldn't take action themselves, but would have agents. Moreover, they were already at the top of the food chain, so there was no need to do anything extra.

He said in a deep voice, "I'm not worried about those companies themselves. The Bureau of General Affairs and the Temporary Special Action Committee have already agreed to share information with us at any time. If there are any situations, they can be dealt with at any time.

What I'm worried about is their active consciousness entities. According to the latest judgment from the front lines, besides the two that the Fusion Boundary and the Treatment Bureau dealt with last time, there should be one more lurking in Central City. If it targets these companies, the damage it causes will be hard to estimate."

He looked at the female assistant, "Can't you sense it yet?"

The female assistant's eyes flickered with black mist. She shook her head and said, "I can't feel where it is."

"That means this opponent is very cunning."

Commissioner Liang reached out and tapped, and the interior of Central City in the light screen showed one hollow after another. These were simulated fissures that might appear, and there were a great number of them.

He looked at it and said, "One is already very troublesome. Once the two worlds get closer, there may be beings from the other side trying to come over. We must not allow it, otherwise it will lead to the collapse of the entire defense system."

He turned his head and asked, "What did 'that person' say?"

The female assistant said, "'That person' said that he will arrive on time."

Commissioner Liang sighed, "Hopefully." He suddenly thought of something, "What has Chen Bitong been doing recently?"

The female assistant said, "No activity."

Commissioner Liang pondered. In fact, the Ministry of Defense wanted to transfer Chen Bitong away from Central City at this critical juncture, but the Chairman of the Assembly did not agree, believing that in the current dangerous situation, Central City needed someone with Chen Bitong's prestige and strength to stabilize people's hearts and ensure safety.

The Ministry of Defense had to consider his request. After several discussions, the matter was delayed again and again, and no clear conclusion had been reached yet. It seemed that no transfer order would be issued during the current breeding season of the Fumu.

He knew that this was still a continuation of the struggle between the two factions. However, the Chairman of the Assembly's insistence was not necessarily a bad thing. If handled well, this might be an opportunity, but it might require some sacrifices.

He looked up and asked, "What about Captain Chen?"

The female assistant replied, "He has been on standby since the end of the training course. Yesterday, he gathered his team members from the Interfusion Zone to Central City."

Commissioner Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Adjust his mission priority. I need Captain Chen to be able to appear in key positions at critical moments."

The female assistant said, "Yes, I will arrange it now."

In the underground district, next to a tunnel on the edge of a collapsed area, there was a solidly built underground residence, with sentry posts and fortifications set up on the periphery.

On the surface, this place looked no different from the ordinary forces in the underground district, but in reality, it was a stronghold of a resistance organization in the underground district of Central City.

At this time, inside a spacious brick room, under bright lights, Guan Xiaohui and some other young people were receiving guidance from a teacher, learning resonance field technology.

The resonators of the resistance organization were all trained by themselves. They would gather members with some talent to learn, and finally implant resonance implants.

Guan Xiaohui was one of the more outstanding members of this group. After all, she had attended a very good middle school. Compared with other students, she had a better foundation and understood things faster. Of course, the most important thing was talent. Without talent, no matter how hard you worked, it would be useless.

After her class ended, she was about to return to her room when she was informed by a member that the person in charge wanted to see her. She came to the area where the person in charge usually was without putting down her things.

When she arrived at the door, she called out a report and was called in, only to find that Zhen Ping was also inside, nodding to her as a greeting.

The person in charge was sitting opposite them. He looked to be in his forties, with developed muscles, a strong build, large finger joints, and a face full of wrinkles. His skin was dark, like a dockworker who worked hard all day.

She bowed slightly, "Hello, Team Leader Yu."

Team Leader Yu said gently, "Xiaohui, sit down, I have something to tell you."

After Guan Xiaohui sat down, he said seriously, "The team has a mission for you recently. During the mission, you need to keep it a secret and ensure that you don't reveal it to anyone."

At the end, his voice was very impassioned.

Zhen Ping and Guan Xiaohui were also a little excited under the infection. After their emotions calmed down a little, Zhen Ping asked with some concern, "Team Leader Yu, is our strength enough?"

Although Central City had more than just their branch, as far as she knew, they had at most a hundred or so people available here, with a lack of weapons and few high-end combatants. A Second Limit combatant like her was already considered the backbone of the branch.

Just thinking about it, she knew how important the Fumu's split offspring was to Central City. The defense would definitely be extremely tight, and other forces might also have designs on it. How could they get it with their strength?

Team Leader Yu said, "You don't need to worry about how to get it. The capture will be handled by comrades sent by the higher-ups. What we need to do is transfer the captured offspring to the underground district. This is where we can help the higher-ups."

Zhen Ping said, "But Team Leader Yu, there are many forces in the underground district. If someone targets us, it will be difficult for us to complete this mission."

Team Leader Yu stretched out his hand, "Don't worry, listen to me."

He leaned forward a little, lowered his voice and said, "We will seal the things in advance, and then hand them over to the logistics system in the lower district, and transport them to a certain place through them. This is indirect, efficient and inconspicuous, and we will send them to several places to divert attention.

When the time comes, you two will be the ones to pick up the items. After you get the things, you will quickly leave Central City according to the route I will give you later, and transfer the things to a safe place."

He said solemnly, "This matter is of great significance, and it only happens once every few decades. The reason why you were chosen is because you haven't been in Central City for long, and you haven't contacted many people. I can completely trust you. Zhen Ping, you are a combatant, and Xiaohui, you have resonance talent.

The two of you are a good complement, so the group thinks you are the most suitable."

Seeing that the two did not speak immediately. He added: "Well, this mission is more dangerous. If you feel that you have no confidence, or have any concerns, you can say it."

Zhen Ping said, "Team Leader Yu, I can do it." Guan Xiaohui looked at her firm expression, pinched the corner of her clothes, and nodded.

Team Leader Yu showed a gratified smile, "Then you can prepare first." He looked at Guan Xiaohui, "Xiaohui, someone will help you do the final implantation surgery later, and then I will ask Lao Mei to give you some intensive training."

Guan Xiaohui said at this time with doubt: "Team leader, if Fumu gives birth to chaos, then my resonance technology may not be useful."

Team Leader Yu said: "Have you forgotten what you are transferring? Holding this kind of thing in your hand, as long as you know it clearly, even if it is isolated, you can make good use of it, and it is far better than ordinary resonators."

Guan Xiaohui still had doubts in her heart, but she thought about it and didn't say anything.

At this time, Team Leader Yu looked at Zhen Ping and said, "The team will teach you a breathing method, which is used for underwater潛行. If the situation is not right, you have to rely on you to get away with the things."

He said solemnly: "Because the news came late, our time is very limited, so I ask you to master it as soon as possible in these two days."
