Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 699 Passage
October 4, 3:30 p.m.

A heavy convoy drove out from the branch of Lianwei Chongyu Company and headed towards a designated intersection under the guidance of many conscious beings.

There are usually three types of channels leading to the interchange: government public channels, company-specific channels, and emergency internal channels.

Lianwei Zhongyu took the company's dedicated channel.

A quarter of an hour later, at nearly four o'clock, the convoy arrived at the designated location.

Most of the entrances to the interchanges are located near stations, and this place is no exception. During this period of time, this place has been evacuated and cleared in advance, and they will be given twenty minutes of access.

After getting off the car, the middle-aged female assistant walked in front, and next to her were two Black Steel-level fighters, "Raptor" and "Eel". Both of them were wearing heavy protective clothing, even their heads were covered by it.

Following behind them were three additional Iron-level fighters and one Bronze-level fighter.

In the internal rating of Lianwei Zhongyu, third-level fighters are divided into three levels: white iron, brass, and black steel. The white iron level has the ability to act alone in the fusion area, while the brass level can independently deal with ordinary dedicated warriors, and the black steel level is a fighter with experience in fighting against titled dedicated warriors.

Since Lianwei Zhongyu Company also has a great influence in the industry, this rating is actually accepted and used by some related mercenary organizations and is considered a semi-common assessment standard.

In addition, there are more than 20 logistics support and technical personnel in the team.

On the surface, due to the presence of two Black Steel-level fighters, the overall strength of this team is slightly stronger than the regular execution team of the Defense Department, but not by much.

As there were so many people, they did not choose the elevator this time, but went down through the emergency passage.

The group walked down the long and empty slope. Everyone's footsteps were clearly audible. At this moment, Yang Ling used Narcissus's stealth ability to follow silently at the back of the team.

Although her body was not small in size, her movements were very light and nimble. Even the team members who were close to her could not detect her presence at all.

After walking down the ramp, the female assistant reminded us intentionally or unintentionally, "The inspection channel is ahead, just pass through one by one."

Then she made special arrangements for everyone to line up in a long queue and then walk into the testing channel. In an instant, a biological field enveloped them and swept over everyone.

Because the distance between the teams was relatively far, when the first person had walked out of the passage, half of the people behind had not yet entered.

At this moment, Yang Ling suddenly lowered her body and rushed forward quickly. Her movement path was very particular, that is, she walked close to the side of each team member. When they got close, their fields reached a consensus, thus blurring and concealing her existence.

Although the strength of the field would vary due to individual differences, she was moving very quickly, and the anti-interference field of the active consciousness body meant that she had already passed through before the strength feedback signal was sent out.

She only stayed in the 30-meter passage for less than a second, and the special structure of her body did not allow her to make even the slightest unnecessary movement.

After everyone passed through the passage, there was no warning on the ground.

When the female assistant saw that everyone had come over and there was no movement in the inspection channel, she raised her head, obviously thinking that this level had been passed. However, when she led people through the channel and walked out of the security gate, her expression froze slightly.

Just in front of the parked train, Chen Chuan was standing there. He was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a protective coat, looking very imposing.

Behind him were Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque, also fully armed. The rest of the processing bureau members lined up behind him, setting up machine guns behind the existing fortifications at the station, and guns could be seen pointed at them from the trains.

In such an open area and at such a close distance, once these machine guns with already calibrated shooting angles start firing, even a Black Steel-level fighter wearing protective clothing would find it difficult to withstand such intensive shooting.

The female assistant raised her hand to signal everyone to stop. She walked to the front alone, bowed slightly to Chen Chuan, and said politely: "Manager Chen, we have obtained the approval of the Central City and are heading to Jiaorong to fulfill our company's obligations. I wonder why you are here..."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Thank you very much for your support to the fusion area. I have seen your company's application list. In view of the current tense situation, many armed forces have entered the central city to undermine the security of the central city, so we need to re-screen and verify all personnel entering and leaving the fusion area. I hope you can understand."

The female assistant expressed her understanding: "This is as it should be. We at Lianwei Zhongyu have always respected and abided by the laws of Central City and will cooperate with your review."

She gestured sideways, her expression looking very sincere and frank.

Chen Chuan gestured, and Qin Qingque immediately stepped forward and, comparing the list with the original one, began to use his world credential to scan every current member of Lianwei Zhongyu.

Yang Ling was quietly clinging to the wall at one side. Although she had passed the field monitoring, she always felt uneasy after arriving here. The long and sharp claws at the end of her slender limbs moved uneasily. When she saw Qin Qingque approaching her, she carefully moved to the other side. The whole process was silent. She did not dare to look at Chen Chuan. Even though she had no experience as a fighter, her active consciousness stored a lot of information about fighters, allowing her to clearly understand how sharp these people's senses were. Even the slightest change in the scene could attract the attention of such people.

Especially some fighters who are good at field sensing are very sensitive to biological fields. Fortunately, Narcissus is an active conscious being and can perfectly converge his own field.

Since there were not many people in the field, Qin Qingque completed all the comparisons in less than half an hour. Then she walked back and saluted Chen Chuan.

"Supervisor, the current personnel have all been checked and are consistent with the list provided."

The female assistant was watching from the side. She didn't have any special expression. She just raised her chin slightly when she heard the words.

Chen Chuan looked at the female assistant and asked, "Ms. Ling, let me ask you a serious question. In addition to the people on the list, do you have any additional personnel or combat creatures?"

The female assistant's heart skipped a beat and she shook her head and said, "No."

Chen Chuan's eyes were deep and calm: "Are you sure?" He looked at the empty space beside him and asked calmly: "Then why did this active consciousness appear here?"

The female assistant's heart was suddenly filled with shock, but she pretended to be surprised and said, "Where is the active consciousness? Is Director Chen joking?"

Chen Chuan ignored her and stared at that place. There was a gleam of light in his eyes and a spiritual power instantly spread outward.

The next moment, in the direction where his gaze fell, an invisible ripple appeared in the air, but it was already possible to make out the outline of a larger creature.

The active consciousness can hide from the field, but it cannot hide from his mental power. Especially now that he has overlapped with his second self, his mental power has reached an extremely sharp level, and any abnormal changes in the surroundings cannot be hidden from him.

Yang Ling originally wanted to cover up, but the mental shock made her unable to stabilize her own field. The invisibility effect immediately faded, and her huge outer body was instantly exposed to the air.

Seeing this scene, the members of the processing bureau behind Chen Chuan raised their guns and pointed them at her.

Yang Ling suddenly felt threatened, and at the same time, an idea emerged in her mind, telling her to immediately implement the backup plan.

The company's original plan was to let her follow the team. It would be best if she could enter the blending area smoothly. However, if she encountered obstacles or was discovered in advance, then the second plan would be implemented.

That is to break through on your own.

Her spiritual power can find a gap to enter the fusion area or even another world. After combining with the active consciousness, the spiritual power becomes even more powerful. Once she gets close to the intersection edge of the fusion area, she can create a crack for herself to pass through without going there.

As long as they can't catch her, Lianwei Zhongyu will still have a way to shirk responsibility. Even if they fail, as long as she enters the fusion area, there is still a possibility of seizing the lost items.

At this moment, she jumped lightly, and her figure suddenly became blurred, leaving only a residual image. At this time, the sound of machine guns rang out, and other guns also started firing at the same time, all aimed at her, but her movement speed was too fast, and not even a single bullet hit her.

In fact, with Narcissus's tough shell, she can fight against those dangerous creatures in the fusion land. She is not afraid of the shooting of these bullets at all, but the impact of dense bullets will undoubtedly affect her speed and movement, so she would rather take the safest approach.

She herself is not a fighter and has no practical experience. If it were just her, no matter how capable she was, she would not be able to react if she suddenly encountered these things. However, after merging with the active consciousness, these are no longer a problem.

With the help of an active consciousness, all those hesitant and weak emotions will be suppressed, and she will calmly and quickly make the most reasonable decision based on the current situation.

After jumping back and forth twice, her speed became even faster. She managed to pass through the gaps between the bullets and rushed towards the direction of the train.

As she leaped forward, the ribbon-like fins on her back began to flicker. At the same time, the air around her seemed to vibrate. The empty space in front of her suddenly melted into a deep hole. It seemed that she was about to pass through it in the next moment.

But her body suddenly stopped in mid-air.

She looked back and saw that one of her hind legs was firmly grasped by a strong hand. Then the world spun around and there was a loud bang. This huge body was thrown heavily to the ground!
