Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 698 Gap
Chen Chuan gently stroked Xue Jun's sword, feeling that there was still some power left in it, so he raised the sword again, swung it in the air, and cut open another tiny crack of only an inch in size.

Then he concentrated his mind and swung the knife across it again, and this time he successfully repaired it again.

He then tried several more times, and after a while, he felt a sense of fatigue from Xue Jun's sword.

This means that whether it is cutting open a crack or closing a crack, the action will consume the power in the sword, and the alienated tissue in it will also feel tired.

He felt it carefully and found that perhaps because of the suppression of the World Ring, the consumption of closing the rift was much less than that of creating it.

In this way, if one can only open a rift with maximum force once a day, then one can close it two or three times.

This is very useful, as it means that in the future when he practices alone, whether something tries to come over from the other side of the rift, or someone suddenly discovers something unusual here, he can immediately close it to prevent any problems.

In this way, he doesn't have to force the time limit to four hours. He can just relax the time a little bit. If any problem occurs, he can close it in time.

At the same time, he no longer needs to pay too much attention to guarding against the movements outside. He can leave most of it to Chao Ming, which can greatly improve his practice efficiency.

But we need to take into account that the World Ring will close in more than a month at most. By then, it will not be so easy to cut open the rift, and the duration of the rift's existence may be shortened.

The prime time is just over a month away, or maybe not even there yet.

In this case, he must try his best to make more progress, or even a breakthrough, during this period of time.

Putting the knife back, he took out a bottle of liquid medicine and poured it on the charred marks on the ground, which immediately corroded the area. Then he took out a utility knife and scraped it into a small bag prepared in advance.

After the cracks appear, there will always be some inexplicable things appearing, so he always keeps these tools here to deal with them safely, which can not only prevent the traces of practice from leaking out, but also prevent any subsequent problems from occurring.

As for the damage to some parts, it is normal for a powerful fighter and no one would think too much about it.

After he finished dealing with it, he went up and pulled the bell rope on the side of the compartment. The airship crew had cooperated with him many times during this period, and they immediately returned after hearing the sound.

To be honest, they were also very curious about Chen Chuan's practice. They didn't know why he had to go into the sky to practice every time. However, they were all old employees in the company and knew not to ask what they shouldn't ask and not to say what they shouldn't say.

After the airship returned to the central city, a lot of news appeared in the world. He responded to them one by one. Among them, there was a piece of news about Lianwei's re-control that was particularly worthy of attention.

Although most of Andun's monitoring resources were transferred away because the bureau needed to monitor the Linax Federation diplomatic team and the Commonwealth delegation, he did not relax the information monitoring of Lianwei Zhongyu.

At the same time, in order to ensure that he had inside information, he had occasionally sent personnel into the company to conduct surprise inspections.

The excuses were ready. Fan Mo and three team members were proved to be related to the Lianwei Zhongyu headquarters. These people had caused considerable impact and damage to the security of the central city. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, of course, the branch needed to be closely monitored.

This message shows that Lianwei Zhongyu Company recently submitted an application to enter the integration area for exploration and perform support duties.

It is called an application, but in reality, the companies have used the agreements left over from the Grand Alliance era, and with the cooperation of the municipal council, this has long become a procedure with little effect.

It can be said that as long as the company itself is recognized by the central city, the application will definitely be approved.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Defense and the Processing Bureau can still review the people entering. If they are inconsistent with the submitted list, the two departments have the power to take measures.

So after Chen Chuan read the application, he immediately retrieved the list of personnel.

The two Black Steel-level fighters who had previously served as guards for the person in charge were now on the list for this operation.

In addition, there are some names that were not previously recorded. The notes say that these people are not in the central city at the moment and are still on their way, and will arrive in a few days.

But he felt there was a problem. Black Steel-level fighters were indeed very powerful in normal situations, but they were not good enough when involved in the fight for lost items.

Unless they weren't planning on doing anything.

But is this possible?
Did Lianwei Chongyu go to so much trouble just to send two people in for a walk and then come out?
He dared to be sure that the real force invested by Lianwei Zhongyu was definitely more than just these two people.

So how can they ensure the force when another group of personnel has been eliminated and the new personnel have not yet been arranged?

He concentrated on thinking for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the active consciousness embryo.

He had fought with active consciousness and was particularly impressed by this kind of thing, so he instinctively thought of this. After changing his mind, he immediately asked Andun: "Andun, you said that the embryo of the active consciousness itself has no combat power and can only transmit and receive messages. Are there other technical means to achieve the purpose of enhancing its combat power? I am asking about those technologies that have not yet matured or are only in theory."

Andun replied: "There is currently an immature technology that may be able to achieve the effect mentioned by the supervisor. It is the combination of humans and active consciousness embryos, so as to achieve the purpose of mutual symbiosis and mutual amplification.

However, the conditions are rather harsh. First, a person with special spiritual talents is required, and his spirit must be in harmony with the active consciousness body in order to achieve a higher success rate of fusion.

However, it should be noted that even if the above conditions are met, fusion may not be successful every time under the same conditions and with the same objects. Once it fails, it will cause irreversible damage to both parties, thereby reducing the success rate next time.

Even if it succeeds, how to separate is still a problem to be solved. According to current research, if this state is maintained for a long time, it is possible that the two sides will completely merge into one. There is currently no existing experimental data available for the specific impact and consequences of the subsequent...”

After listening to it, Chen Chuan thought for a moment and immediately pulled out the photo of the girl named Yang Ling and took a look at it.

If, as he had previously guessed, this sheep spirit possessed certain talents that ordinary people did not possess, then it would just meet this condition.

Only such biological weapons are qualified to compete with governments and even other forces.

In the absence of other options and possibilities, this inference is the most likely one.

However, there was no mention of active consciousness or the name of Yang Ling on the list. He quickly realized that this was a condition that could be exploited. If it was true as he expected, perhaps he could destroy the possible plan of Lianwei's re-control.

I took another look at the application time for Lianwei Zhongyu to enter the intersection area, which was 5 pm on October 4th.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and touched Jie Ping, "Attention all teams, there will be an important mission in the near future, please pay attention to the news."

Inside the underground hall of Lianwei Zhongyu, Yang Ling was controlling Narcissus to absorb high-energy nutrients. Tentacles were emerging from her outer body and extending into the storage area of ​​the nutrients, sucking up the nutrient solution.

You can see that her body is much bigger than when she first came out.

But a strong body also means more consumption. Here she can supplement with nutrients and even enter a low-consumption state on her own.

But after entering the fusion land, there is no such convenience. Although Narcissus can theoretically replenish consumption by catching prey in the fusion land, this will mean that a lot of time will be spent on eating every day, and basically he will not be able to do anything else.

Therefore, Lianwei Zhongyu will equip a team with her as the core to capture prey for her and provide logistical support.

She just needs to focus on finding lost items and dealing with key enemies.

As she ate, Yang Ling felt that her thoughts were gradually approaching Narcissus's, as if she herself was Narcissus, and Narcissus was her. This was the inevitable result of the integration of their bodies and spirits.

Perhaps before long, they would become truly indistinguishable from each other, her human side would fade away completely, and she would be transformed into a unique active consciousness, a biological weapon controlled by the Company.

Footsteps were heard and the female assistant walked up to her. She looked at the conscious creature in front of her that had grown even bigger with fanatical eyes.

She said, "Miss, the application has been submitted and the time has been set. We will set off tomorrow evening. Everything has been arranged. We will cover you by then."

After she finished speaking, Jian Jieping responded and said, "Miss, there is no need to worry about the shortage of manpower. The second team sent by the head office has been waiting outside the city.

Although the processing bureau has been keeping a close eye on our movements and has been using procedures to block us, we have followed the formal procedures this time, and the arrangements for the fighters are completely in line with safety standards. We will release them tomorrow at the latest."

Narcissus looked up at her again.

The female assistant looked at Jianjie Ping, and her expression became cold again. "Miss, you can rest assured. As long as we find the thing, we will release the fusion for you. There is no one else with special talents like you in the company. We will not waste you in this operation casually.

I also need to remind you, young lady, that the duration of this integration is entirely up to you. If you can find what the company needs sooner, you can end the status sooner."

As she spoke, she leaned forward, turned around and left in her high heels, and her figure disappeared into the dimly lit passage ahead in a moment.

Yang Ling watched her leave silently. After a moment, he lowered his head again, unconsciously shook Narcissus's tail, and continued to absorb the high-energy nutrient solution around him.
