Chapter 776: The Tide Returns and Waves Rise

After Chen Chuan got off the airship, he met up with Xu Chan and others who had rested for a night, and prepared to rush back to the central city during the opening period of the intersection channel.

When the group packed their luggage and equipment and arrived in front of the train, they found that Pei was waiting there. He came up and shook hands with Chen Chuan and said hello, then looked at Xu Chan and others behind him, "Manager Chen, and everyone else, I need to take up some of your time."

Chen Chuan asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. Because you have been to the unknown area, the situation there is very complicated. In addition, the breach in the World Ring has not been sealed yet. In order to prevent external infection, everyone needs to do some necessary tests before returning to the central city."

Pei said meaningfully: "This is a very necessary procedure. It is better for us to do it ourselves than to let others do it. This way we can avoid some unnecessary trouble."

Chen Chuan had done similar tests and knew what he meant. He said, "I don't know where I need to go for testing?"

Counselor Pei smiled and said, "Just on this train. We have moved the equipment there for the convenience of testing. It won't delay you for too long."

Chen Chuan said: "That's good."

After the agreement was made, the group boarded the train with Counselor Pei. After putting away their luggage, they followed Counselor Pei to a certain carriage at the rear, where the entire carriage was occupied by the detection creature.

As they needed to be tested one by one, Xu Chan and others went in first. The testing time was not long, and each person came out in less than a minute. Even Chao Ming went in for the test, and no problems were found.

Chen Chuan had anticipated this situation. Not to mention the first half, in the second half almost all of them were shrouded in the light of the relic.

This thing seems to have a strong repelling effect on those infective substances, and even the parasites on certain things carried with you have all disappeared.

The people nowadays are much cleaner than those who have been stationed in the fusion area for a long time.

After most people had finished the test, it was Chen Chuan's turn, but some problems arose.

He was about to go inside, but before he walked in, the detection creature seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying. It made bursts of sharp and strange noises and retreated desperately. It seemed that if the surroundings had not been reinforced, it would have escaped from this train car.

Counselor Pei was a little puzzled. He went up to ask the person in charge. The latter was a little confused, and then seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Chen Chuan with a suspicious look, and then said something to Counselor Pei using the boundary. After hearing this, Counselor Pei was also shocked and unbelievable.

He thought about it, and said to Xu Chan and others, "Everyone, you can leave first."

Captain Lu disagreed and said loudly: "What is going on? Let's make it clear here. Manager Chen has been with us all the way. There is no way there is anything wrong with him!"

Captain Hu also stood up immediately. Chen Chuan had saved all of them before. If they were needed for help, they would definitely help.

Xu Chan seemed to have figured out something. He stopped Captain Lu from talking and said, "No need to say more. Let's go back first. We are all on the train. Nothing will happen." Then he added, "Trust Manager Chen."

This sentence worked. Captain Lu and the others looked at each other and followed Xu Chan away.

At this moment, Counselor Pei looked at Chen Chuan and did not ask anything directly. Instead, he took a breath and said slowly:
"I just asked about this. This detection creature can detect fighters at or below the third limit. But if the target is a fighter, then these devices cannot detect it."

As he spoke, his eyes remained on Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan said in a natural tone: "If that's the case, then this detection organism is indeed useless to me."

Pei's eyes widened at once, his face showing excitement and great surprise. After a while, he managed to calm his turbulent emotions and said in a voice that was still trembling slightly, "Manager Chen, you, you said it's already..."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "I came back with Principal Yao on his airship, and had a meal with him by the way."

Pei understood immediately. He nodded vigorously, and couldn't help being excited. After a while, he said, "I understand, I understand!"

He knew very well how important a fighter was. After the old imperial army was cleared out at the intersection of Jibei Road, the next thing they would do would be to deal with the Municipal Council. If they had one more fighter at this time, they could guarantee an absolute upper advantage, and perhaps the opportunity to solve the chronic problems of Jibei Road would be right in front of them.

After calming down a bit, he said solemnly: "Manager Chen, I'm sorry, this news is very important, I think I must report it to my superiors."

Chen Chuan didn't mind it. "It doesn't matter. Counselor Pei, just do your own thing."

He knew very well that the existence of a fighter involved many aspects of the matter, which could not be ignored, so he had no intention of hiding it, but he would not take the initiative to publicize it. Pei's expression relaxed a little, and he said seriously: "Thank you for your understanding, Director Chen, I will leave for a while."

Chen Chuan nodded. Seeing Counselor Pei leave, he also went back to his own carriage. At this time, the train had entered the central city area. Suddenly, a prompt sound came from his interface, so he connected it. A steady voice came from inside: "Manager Chen, this is Wei Huan."

"Director Wei?"

Chen Chuan heard that the person who was looking for him was Director Wei of the Processing Bureau. However, due to his old age and being in a semi-retired state, the specific affairs of the Processing Bureau have been handed over to Deputy Director Wu in recent years. After the breach in the World Ring appeared, he led a group of people to garrison at the front line.

That was the last time he came back when he was promoted to investigation director.

"Director Wei, is there anything you would like to explain?"

"Director Wei said politely, "Manager Chen, Principal Yao has already told me about your situation via telegram. I will be transferred to the capital soon. You young people will be responsible for the affairs of the central city. I will not be able to comment on your future duties, but there are some things I think I can help you deal with before I leave office."

Just as they were returning to the central city on their train, a large number of violent crimes occurred in various districts within the central city within a few hours, many of which involved fighters.

The bureau mobilized personnel from all parties for this purpose. Due to the shortage of manpower and some incidents being particularly serious, in the end even Captain Zou Jinxing, who was in charge of the bureau, led a team to handle the situation personally.

About an hour after he left, Wang Weiguang, who had been detained by the Emergency Office since the last testing incident, entered the headquarters with a team of people.

The apparent reason for his detention was that he was contaminated with infectious substances, but in fact it was an action done at the suggestion of the Municipal Council. However, because there was no definite evidence in this matter and he was imprisoned afterwards, his position was not revoked, and his authority was retained by Han Fu intentionally or unintentionally.

After Wang Weiguang entered the General Administration, Andun said, "Captain Wang, we have detected that the charges against you by the Critical Affairs Center have been dropped. Captain Wang, welcome back to the team. Please go through the procedures for your return to the team."

Wang Weiguang smiled and said, "First, please record the people behind me. They are the team members I hired personally."

"Identification in progress. No criminal or wanted record. No citizen status... Captain Wang, identity has been registered..."

Wang Weiguang saw that the registration was over, and then he went forward to complete the procedures for his return to the team. Then he said, "I received a case on the way here. It is related to the detained Han Fu, the former supervisor Han. I need to learn some information from him. Can I meet with him?"

"I'm sorry, Captain Wang, interrogating Han Fu requires sufficient authority. Please apply to your superiors first, or wait here for the relevant supervisor to come back."

Wang Weiguang's eyes flickered and he said, "Okay, let's wait a little longer."

At the entrance of the underground passage, the train slowly pulled into the station. After it stopped, Counselor Pei and Chen Chuan and his party walked down from it. They passed the scanning area and walked up the stairs. However, when they reached the exit area, they saw a team of armed men waiting there. In the front was a man wearing an imported suit and sunglasses.

When the man saw the group coming, he took off his sunglasses, motioned the armed men to stop behind, walked out a few steps by himself, showed his ID, and said:

"I am Li Xie, the external liaison of the Emergency Affairs Center. This time, I am waiting for you here according to the arrangements of the Affairs Center."

He looked at everyone and said seriously, "Because you are going to the fusion area and going deep into the unknown area, we need to check you to prevent the central city from being harmed."

At this time, Counselor Pei walked up first, came in front of the man, and showed him a test report.

"Contact Officer Li, these people have already registered and checked at the Ministry of Defense before coming here. I don't think they need to go to the Emergency Center for the time being, right?"

Li Xie's expression changed slightly. Theoretically, after the inspection by the Ministry of Defense, there was no need to conduct another inspection. Although they retained the qualification for re-inspection, it was not appropriate to forcibly take people away before there was definite evidence that there was a problem. If the other party refused, there was no problem from a procedural point of view.

At this moment, a sound came from the boundary. After hearing it, he immediately looked up at the people in front of him and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, of course we trust the detection of the Ministry of Defense, but there is a situation that needs to be explained.

Some time ago, our business center city discovered new attachments, and our detection organisms have also recently re-recorded some biological information, so..." He looked behind Pei, smiled and said, "We need to check again, I hope you can understand."
