Atlas of Heaven and Man

Central City, Weiguang District, the independent combat command hall of the Defense Department.

A voice echoed in the hall:

“The Fumu is entering the final stage of fission preparation.”

“Estimated to enter the first fission at 00:00 on the 22nd, countdown: twelve hours and thirty-two minutes.”

“All departments and emergency forces have entered a state of full alert.”

Commissioner Liang stood on the second floor of the hall, looking at the display image of the entire Central City on the light screen.

Below him, the command room was filled with liaison communication personnel, resonance technology personnel, and some troop commanders.

When the fission officially begins, they will transmit information from the Political Affairs Office, the Processing Bureau, city patrols, and various local troops and emergency teams in the Central City in real-time, summarize and analyze it, and then direct and issue orders.

Commissioner Liang's expression was very serious at the moment because he knew that although the major companies in Central City did not know the exact fission and reproduction time of the Fumu, they could estimate the general time period from the Fumu's performance.

Needless to say, these companies are also making preparations at this moment, waiting for the opportunity to move out.

However, they must strictly guard against it. As the first fission body of the prototype, not even one is allowed to leak out!

However…

His eyes were deep. The opponents were not only those companies, but also a larger and more dangerous enemy. He only hoped that the previous arrangements would work.

Chen Chuan had already left the Xuangong Building and was driving his Gade car towards the mansion.

At this time, he looked out and saw that the flickering in the sky was still continuing and becoming denser.

In fact, after such a long period of brewing, this movement had reached the point where even ordinary people could see it clearly.

However, because of the neon light curtain originally existing in the sky, it was not so conspicuous, and the public was not in the mood to care about those things.

Because the gradually increasing insects almost formed an insect rain on the street, almost obscuring the line of sight, even spraying pesticides could not stop it.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of insect corpses like a carpet. At this moment, city cleaners on both sides were shoveling them into large dustpans and dumping them onto transport vehicles.

People walking in a hurry on the street were all wearing thick clothes, covering their entire bodies.

The light screen began to repeatedly notify the public not to go out and to inform them that a larger biological tide would come later, and it may also be accompanied by a magnetic storm phenomenon that is rare in decades.

The Central City Political Affairs Office will dispatch armed forces to solve these creatures that have been raging in the city for the past few days, requiring the public to stay in a safe place or follow the patrol convoy to evacuate to underground works for shelter.

At this moment, shopping malls and public places in Central City have begun to be sealed off and closed, and patrol cars are driving on the streets one after another.

Ten minutes later, he arrived outside the mansion. It had already been fully deployed, with a layer of electric fence above, and barbed wire and roadblocks arranged at the entrance. As the electric gate opened, the car slowly drove in.

After parking the car in the garage, he entered the living room. Three fully armed team members were waiting here. Seeing him come in, they saluted in unison: “Captain!”

Chen Chuan nodded and returned a salute, “Are you all ready?”

Qin Qingque replied: “Captain, we are all ready. The defenses inside and outside the house have been arranged properly. The three of us can move out at any time.”

Chen Chuan hummed. At this moment, a prompt sounded on the interface, and seeing that it was a voice message from Counselor Pei, he clicked it open.

Counselor Pei's voice then came out:

“The situation may occur between tonight and tomorrow morning.

After sending this location to the three team members, he said: “The fission period is estimated to be around these two days. You should rest well to cope with the situation that follows.”

“Yes, Captain!”

After Chen Chuan finished explaining, he left the hall and returned to the bedroom on the fourth floor. After washing up, he sat down.

He placed the Xuejun Knife in front of him, and then took out the cold and hot weapons he carried with him, wiping them one by one for the last time.

After the Fumu begins to reproduce and the Heavenly Gate opens, whether it is folk fighters, powerful groups, or those companies with ulterior motives, they will probably all participate.

The opponents encountered this time may be stronger than any he has ever seen before, but this is exactly what he needs and expects.

Time passed by, and soon it was 9:00 p.m., with the final three hours remaining before the Fumu fission stage.

A voice came from the command hall: “The field signal is starting to weaken, preparing to enter the signal separation state, countdown begins in three minutes…”

The people at the bottom of the first floor hall stopped their movements.

The three minutes passed quickly, and the surrounding field light first dimmed for a while, and after a few breaths, the light returned to normal again. Then a steady and serious voice came out:

“Sentry Tower is at your service. During the Fumu fission, I will fully take over the field connection between all parties.”

This is the Defense Department's active consciousness body “Sentry Tower,” responsible for taking over the internal and external field information connection during the Fumu fission period.

At the same time, the scattered field creatures in various regions transmitted the images back through the airship signal stations set up above, and within a short five minutes, they returned to the previous level.

Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice: “Sentry Tower, immediately check the deployments of all parties and check the personnel situation at all key locations.”

“Sentry Tower received, checking…”

Chen Chuan put down the last weapon in his hand and looked at the time displayed on the interface, it was now 10:10 p.m.

But seemingly due to some kind of traction, his spirit was becoming more and more active at this moment. This is likely because as the Fumu gradually enters the reproduction stage, the field force begins to contract, causing the barrier or some kind of protection for another world to gradually weaken.

If this situation continues, it matches the time that Counselor Pei explained.

At this time, he put away his weapons, took out some medicine, and swallowed it.

After entering the third limit, he rarely used medicine anymore. In addition to the reduction in the effect of the medicine itself, there was also no need for it as his strength increased.

However, this time he didn't know how many opponents he would encounter, nor did he know how strong the enemies he would encounter, so he should be fully prepared.

After taking the medicine, he did nothing else, but adjusted his breathing and waited quietly.

Another hour later, suddenly a rustling sound came from the interface in his ear, as if the field information had become extremely unstable. After lasting for about ten seconds, the interface completely lost its sound.

He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, 11:55 p.m.

He clicked on the interface again and logged into the frequency band of the field creatures inside the mansion, reconnecting with the three team members downstairs.

Yuan Qiuyuan's voice came from inside: “Captain, has it started? Why does it feel like there's no movement?”

Chen Chuan stood up and walked to the window. The neon lights outside were still there, as if nothing had happened, but he could clearly feel that a powerful spirit that was everywhere seemed to be surging.

He said: “No, it has already begun.”

Just as he said this, most of the light in the city suddenly weakened, and the brilliant world displayed outside the interface was almost invisible. Immediately afterward, a seemingly gloomy feeling permeated the spirit.

A bright light suddenly appeared outside the window. He raised his head. It was clearly night, but the sky had become bright, but with a bit of cold and gloomy darkness. The feeling was like facing the sky of the fusion zone. It seemed that at this moment, the fusion zone had extended here.

In just a moment, a wisp of bright red light appeared at the far end of the sky, as if a crack had been broken open there, and thick blood was leaking out of it.

He stared at that place. He could feel that although the invisible barrier existing in the sky had been broken open, it was still勉强 maintaining it, blocking the intrusion from the outside world, but the Heavenly Gate had already been pushed open a crack.

Inside the Defense Department's command hall, the Sentry Tower made a sound: “Time, 00:03, the first wave of Fumu fission has begun, with a total of seven fission sub-bodies… Now reporting the location of the fission sub-bodies…”

On the Central City area image in front of him, locations were marked with lights. These fission sub-bodies were located in Fengde District, Shenwei District, Yinglu District, Jiyang District, and other places, and three of them were concentrated in Jiyang District.

“The Political Affairs Office has shared information, and reaction forces and emergency teams in each area have been dispatched… Estimated processing time, forty-five minutes, the second wave of fission is estimated to begin in one hour and thirty-five minutes, countdown begins…”

From the image screen, you can see the marked routes, as well as the time and distance displayed at the same time. As the team approached, the distance marker was gradually shortening.

“Warning, a large number of resonance field monitoring and intrusions detected.”

Only a moment later, on the originally calm screen, dense red dots suddenly appeared, and in a short moment, they almost covered the entire Central City.

Commissioner Liang's expression was solemn.

This situation clearly showed that a large number of resonators were trying to peek at the government's deployment through private field creatures, as well as active and inactive consciousness bodies, and many technically skilled resonators were trying to hijack the shared field signals on the airships.

He knew that this was what the major companies were doing, in order to find out the distribution locations of the reaction forces, and to analyze the combat effectiveness of the emergency teams, so as to prepare for the next actions.

But they had already prepared countermeasures and counterattacks for this.
