Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 748 Convergence
At this moment, Xu Chan was leading everyone on this trip towards Chen Chuan.

With the speed of him and the three captains, it wouldn't take long for them to reach Chen Chuan, but they were accompanied by other personnel, so they moved a little slower.

You should know that it is not just them now. All the creatures in the dense forest are fleeing under the threat of the insect quicksand. The sky is filled with dense flying insects and birds, and the ground is filled with all kinds of unknown insects crawling quickly.

These things moved forward with them, and sometimes they would devour and bite each other.

From time to time, you can see some creatures falling to the ground due to the terrain and collisions, and at this time they will immediately be covered by the swarming insects, and in just a moment not even any bones will be left.

This forced them to slow down and form a formation outside all the team members, with Xu Chan leading the way and the other three responsible for the left, right and rear to protect everyone as they moved forward.

The ground ahead was gradually rising, and now it was visible. The huge body of the creature below was revealed, and its abdomen began to support its body. Mud and trees began to fall from above. The scene was very spectacular, and this one should be considered a large creature.

The large creatures in the Interfusion Zone are generally found deep in the Interfusion Zone and rarely in other places. This may be because the environment is not sufficient to support their survival as they are far away from the other world.

No one knows how it appeared here. It is very likely that it had been sleeping underground before, and perhaps it was awakened by the arrival of insect quicksand, or the continued existence of the relics.

Soon everyone came close to the creature, jumped onto the wrinkles on its body, and climbed up.

At this moment, not only them, but various creatures and reptiles were also climbing and jumping on this creature. Judging from the situation, it seemed that this thing could protect them.

But with so many things climbing up at the same time, they inevitably rubbed against each other and were hit by the dirt, rocks and trees falling from above. So while they were swarming up, they kept falling down, and then landed in the dense community of organisms below, disappearing in the blink of an eye, which was shocking to watch.

At this moment, there was suddenly an invisible wave falling from above, and the creatures blocking their way suddenly rolled down in groups. At this moment, a large area around them was also cleared.

When they looked up, they saw a figure standing at the very top, holding a long knife in his hand, with a red scarf fluttering outside his body. There was also a magnificent ray of light that went from where he was standing all the way to the sky, merging with the magnificent rays of light.

"Director Chen!"

Captain Lu shouted excitedly.

Since they were all running just now, and the ground ahead was gradually rising, they really had no idea what the situation was like above during the running process. But now they saw him standing there in good health, did that mean... the battle above was over?

Xu Chan said at this time: "Let's talk about it when we get up there."

Everyone responded in unison.

After they climbed up with confusion and excitement, they immediately looked around and saw that behind Chen Chuan in the distance were all broken limbs and bodies, with almost no complete human figures. They were shocked and many people couldn't help but look at him with awe and admiration.

Xu Chan was the calmest, as if he had guessed the result in advance. After looking around, he raised his hand and saluted, "Supervisor, the search team is reporting in. All members are here now."

All the people behind him saluted at the same time. Even though their clothes were stained with blood and their faces were covered in dirt, they all stood very straight.

Chen Chuan raised his hand and saluted in return. After he put his hand down, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I was asked to come and pick you up this time."

Hearing these words, everyone was excited.

Captain Lu looked around and couldn't help asking, "Manager Chen, these people..."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "It has almost been cleaned up."

Even though they had seen the situation at the scene, everyone was still shocked to hear him admit it himself.

When they were watching the battle on the hillside just now, most of the enemy's main forces were still there, and when they ran over, it was only a few minutes, right? They were all solved?
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Well, I still have one person alive, and I need his confession."

Captain Hai immediately asked seriously, "Manager Chen, do you need to ask anything?"

Chen Chuan said: "Some problems occurred within the processing bureau."

He briefly described the murder of Supervisor Wen and the capture of Supervisor Han.

"Director Wen's body ended up in the hands of the skinner. I kept this man here because I wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of Director Wen's body and try to bring it back."

No one expected such a serious situation to occur in the rear. Manager Han's behavior was enough to be called treason. No wonder so many people from the Linax Federation sneaked in at once. Many team members could not hide their anger on their faces.

Captain Hai's expression became extremely serious: "Director Chen, I'm very good at interrogation. Can you leave this to me?"

Chen Chuan looked at him and nodded.

Captain Hu then said, "Manager Chen, the insect swarm is coming soon. Should we leave here first?"

Chen Chuan said: "The worm quicksand is unavoidable. From what I know, the shortest worm quicksand lasts for one or two days, and the longest lasts for several days.

And I suspect that these bugs came here, probably attracted by the abandoned objects, so unless we give up this thing, it will be difficult to get rid of it.

But you don't need to worry.

He stepped on the ground with his foot. "This thing is called a sleeping earthworm, and it feeds on these large groups of small insects. The environment here is not enough to support its long-term movement. After eating all the insects, it will continue to sink into the ground and sleep, so we are actually safe here."

Xu Chan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, we will need to stay here overnight."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's right, we just need to pay attention to those blended creatures that are rushing up with us."

Xu Chan immediately said: "Then let's start preparing for nightfall."

After obtaining Chen Chuan's consent, he immediately arranged for his men to disperse and arrange defenses.

In addition to the things they carried with them, there were also a lot of supplies left behind by the Federation and the Linax Federation, which they made full use of.

After digging trenches on the periphery, they sprinkled medicine inside and around them, and then surrounded the area with several layers of barbed wire. They then set up bonfires with large intervals and built tents that were large enough for everyone to shelter in at night.

In order to avoid attracting more creatures from the fusion land, the corpses here need to be burned in time.

While everyone was working separately, Captain Hai found the skinner according to the direction pointed out by Chen Chuan. Seeing his body twisted into a pretzel, he was secretly shocked, wondering what kind of strength that was used. As a result, many interrogation methods could not be implemented, but there were still ways.

He picked up the Skinner and took him to a secluded spot.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Chen Chuan walked aside and collected the weapons left behind by some people.

The harvest this time was not small, as all the weapons that could be used were alienated weapons that could carry the power of the mind.

For example, the dagger carried by Heros, the long whip used by Qi Qianyang, the Thunder Twin Arm Fins, etc. Although I have never seen Heros use his dagger, it is undoubtedly a top-grade weapon because he can carry it with him.

He picked them up and wiped them clean carefully, then packed them in a packaging bag and put them safely in his luggage, ready to take them back after the trip.

As for the weapons of the ordinary fighters, he did not touch them. He had no impression of these people, and he did not even look at any of the weapons in their hands.

About an hour later, Captain Hai came back, wiping his hands with a handkerchief as he walked. When he came to Chen Chuan, he saluted and said, "Director, he has confessed everything. The situation is a bit complicated. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find Director Wen's body."

Chen Chuan asked: "How do you say that?"

Captain Hai took a breath and steadied his voice before saying, "He peeled off Director Wen's skin and flesh, separated it from the skeleton, and processed it in some other ways. He placed them in two storage boxes and prepared to take them back as collections. They are currently being placed in their camp."

Chen Chuan asked: "Where is the camp?"

Captain Hai said: "It may be some distance from here. Now the worm quicksand is right in front of us. It is hard to say whether we can survive after the worm quicksand passes."

He took out the map he had drawn in the future, unfolded it, and pointed at a certain location. "According to what he said, it should be within this area."

Chen Chuan compared the approximate distance and glanced at the time. There was still more than an hour before dark, and it would take more than that much time to get there, not to mention the time to get back. It was indeed too late.

And because of the insect quicksand, it is possible that the camp has already evacuated with its belongings.

In this case, I can only try to find it later.

"There is one more thing." Captain Hai said, "That person said that the general leading the team this time seemed to be preparing for some ceremony."

"ceremony?"

"Yes, he said so."

Captain Hai said, "He just said that he was a hired fighter and didn't care what the higher-ups wanted to do. He just said that the ritual made him feel evil and uncomfortable."

Chen Chuan nodded, "Besides this, is there anything else?"

Captain Hai said, "No more. I have asked him several times and confirmed that this is all he knows."

Chen Chuan asked, "Is the person still alive?"

"Alive."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, then keep him alive. Keep him alive for now. Don't let him die. Once we find Director Wen, we can deal with him together."

Captain Hai saluted solemnly and said "yes" in an emphasis!

Chen Chuan took another look at the map, then glanced in a certain direction according to that location. "A secret cult ritual?" He had a feeling that the camp might not be dispersed so easily.
