After the processing bureau's armed convoy traveled a distance, a fork appeared in front of it, with three tunnels leading in different directions.

According to the traces left before, they should take the left path.

Xu Chan, on the other hand, asked to go from the right.

An employee reminded aloud: "Director Xu, according to the drawings of Xiacheng District, if we choose the tunnel on the right, we may make a big detour and walk an extra hour, and we may miss some key traces."

Xu Chan said with certainty: "This trace should have been left intentionally by them." Even if not, he did not intend to take this path. He would not follow the path left to them by the enemy.

"yes!"

The clerk saluted, and the entire convoy immediately turned around and headed along the tunnel. Although it took a few more detours, there were indeed no obstacles in the first half of the journey. However, when approaching the tunnel exit, they discovered that the car was vandalized in front of them.

There were a lot of collapsed masonry on the road surface, and it looked like the road was blocked.

It seems like I can't leave here.

Xu Chan was unmoved. He observed and found that there were not many traffic jams. He immediately asked a group of combat creatures on the car to come forward and cooperate with the logistics personnel to clear a road.

During this process, he did not wait here, but got out of the car and deployed field information creatures to establish a strong signal connection.

He would make such arrangements at every intersection along the way, and arrange for a team of personnel to be on duty to prevent interfering creatures from impeding communication, ensure smooth communication between the dispersed team and the ground, and eliminate the possibility of loopholes being exploited in the rear.

This time, the three investigation supervisors from the processing bureau have arrived, and he is responsible for the main break-in route. The other two investigation supervisors are responsible for the other two directions, and slowly shrink the space, and finally this area can be given to

Lock it down.

On the second day, a road was finally cleared ahead that was barely passable by vehicles.

Xu Chan still chose to sit in the leading vehicle and lead the way in front of him.

For this operation, in addition to two of his trustworthy subordinates, he also brought Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque, two men sent by Chen Chuan to support him.

No less than five third-level fighters acted together. This lineup was very powerful. When the First Mother split, it was impossible to concentrate such a strong force in one direction.

Behind them were Wei Changan, Luo Kaiyuan, Feng Xiaoqi and others, as well as the teams responsible for following and cooperating with them.

Although they only have the second limit, they can actually be regarded as the middle force in handling the situation, and they are all confident fighters with rich experience in teamwork. In addition, they are all wearing the most advanced equipment at the moment.

The equipment, it is no exaggeration to call it elite.

To be honest, if you are just dealing with an ordinary gang, the strength of such a team seems to be wasted.

But what we have to deal with this time may be the remnants of the parliament and some unknown things.

At this time, there was a voice reminder: "It has been detected that there is a risk of collapse in the road ahead." This is the inactive consciousness in their vehicle, which is responsible for scanning and checking road conditions at any time.

The convoy immediately stopped, and the engineering team following from behind, protected by the fighters, quickly stepped forward to inspect, fill in the holes, and search for the presence of explosives.

After all, operating underground is different from other places. A simple explosion is enough to create obstacles and obstructions. Of course, the large tunnel structure cannot be destroyed. These were built back then with explosion-proof designs. However, after so many years, some of the surface layers prevent erosion.

The protective layer against microbial invasion, as well as some of the original landscape buildings, were already dilapidated due to lack of maintenance. These were the things that blocked them just now.

While I was checking, I suddenly heard a buzzing sound, which was getting closer and closer.

Xu Chan was the first to hear it and immediately said: "Everyone, get back to the car!"

Everyone immediately put down what they were doing and retreated to the armed vehicle. Xu Chan stood at the front alone. In less than a minute, he saw dense insects crawling over, covering the walls of the underground tunnel.

It was so full that the people behind felt their scalps numb and goosebumps all over their bodies.

Xu Chan stood in front without taking a step back, seeing that the front end of the insect wave was almost rushing to him. At this moment, a banging sound came out, the bright searchlight behind him turned on, and then there was a sound inside the vehicle.

An invisible sound wave emitted.

Because Central City has been plagued by insect pests in recent years, it has recently authorized the development of this insect repellent sound wave, which comes from a special organism.

The effect was very good. The insects that came up seemed to lose their vitality and fell down in pieces.

After almost seven or eight minutes, the movement in the tunnel finally stopped.

Xu Chan did not relax and took a few steps forward. The ground seemed to be covered with a thick layer of carpet, which seemed to sink if he stepped on it. At the same time, he smelled an unpleasant smell.

He frowned and asked everyone to put on protective masks and connect to oxygen tanks.

This approach proved to be very correct. These bugs actually spontaneously burned. The entire tunnel was temporarily covered by flames and smoke, emitting a large amount of harmful gases, and the already thin oxygen around it was also rapidly consumed. If there was no prior

The preparation is enough for them to suffer a big loss here.

This kind of bug seems to be very easy to use as a combustible. It actually burned for more than an hour before it stopped. The tunnel had become completely charred, and there was a strange smell permeating the smoke.

Xu Chan did not rush forward, but came to the side of the vehicle, clicked on the lower boundary token, and sent a report to the bureau according to the previous practice.

After the smoke almost dissipated, he led the convoy deeper inside.

Because they encountered obstacles from time to time, and the damaged tunnel road surface, they had to stop for repairs, resulting in a very slow advancement. It took five days to advance two-thirds of the way.

But Xu Chan is not impatient. He would rather go slower and ensure the safety of his men. Moreover, they always keep moving forward. The one facing more pressure should be the other side, not them.

In the meditation room, Chen Chuanzheng was floating cross-legged. The slightly pulsating light outside his body was originally undulating, but at some point, it seemed to be soothed by some kind of force, and it slowly converged inward.

However, there are still wave-like ripples on the surface from time to time.

But even the rhythm of these ripples gradually became gentler and gradually disappeared. In the end, a bright light film seemed to fit on the surface of the body.

At this time he slowly opened his eyes.

After six consecutive days and nights of non-stop practice, he finally subdued his own aura.

This level is easier than expected. The tedious process is actually the process of straightening out the aura. After all, the power in his body far exceeds that of a fighter at the same level. If you want to straighten it out, you need a lot of patience.

Then the next step is the "Jie Tianqiao" level. If you can complete this step, you can achieve the state of immortality.

At this time, he lowered himself, opened the border, and paid attention to the progress of Xiacheng District. It could be seen that the entire area near the northwest corner had been blocked from three directions by investigators from the processing bureau.

And this area also highly overlaps with the location of the Plague Gang that was previously explored, so some of the people behind it are related to the Plague Gang.

However, he did not forget that the main purpose of this operation was to find that existence, and the bait thrown in front was just to facilitate their action.

He watched for a while, walked out of the meditation room, clicked on the lower realm token, and asked: "An Dun, is there anything unusual at Luyuan Ecological Company?"

Andun replied: "There are no signs of abnormality in Luyuan Ecological Company. The monitoring data is all normal. Andun will continue to pay attention."

Chen Chuan hummed, Luyuan Company was not moving at this time, and it seemed that it wanted to stay out of the business.

This company is still so cautious and will never directly participate in actions that may be detrimental to itself. If it is so forbearing, it must have a deeper conspiracy.

After thinking for a while, he clicked on the lower realm button and contacted Xu Chan. After waiting for a while, the other party connected, he asked: "Old Xu, how is the situation there?"

Xu Chan's voice came out: "Director, we will advance the final stretch tomorrow. According to previous intelligence, we are likely to encounter fierce resistance.

The environment here is very complex. All the sun trees have been deliberately cleaned, and there is almost no light. We also detected toxins in the air, which caused some of our vehicle-mounted field creatures to be in poor condition. We applied for more combat creatures.

, we also need to add a batch of new equipment."

Chen Chuanchuan: "I will allocate the things you want to you immediately, and then I will apply for a biological expert team from the blending place to come and cooperate with your actions."

"Thank you, Director."

Chen Zhuan said: "The Plague Cult is complex in composition and there may be some cult members. According to the prior plan, personnel from the Esoteric Cult Bureau will join your team tomorrow to avoid accidents. Lao Xu, be careful and be there in time if anything happens.

Let me know."

"Director, I understand."

After Xu Chan spoke with Chen Chuan, he continued to delve deeper. One day later, he found that some patterns suspected of esoteric rituals began to appear around him.

After Director Lei learned about this, he personally led a team to investigate. After seeing it, he immediately contacted Chen Chuan.

"Director Chen, I've seen it. What Director Xu encountered were some rituals of the old national religion. I can crack it, but I need someone to cooperate. There are some colleagues in the bureau who are capable, but I can't trust them. If I do it alone

, it may take a long time, I speculate that this may be their purpose."

Chen Chuan asked: "What about applying for employment from above?"

Director Lei said: "It's possible, but I'm afraid someone will stop us and we can't afford to delay."

Chen Chuan nodded, "You crack the mine first, and I'll find a way to find someone."

After ending the call, he thought for a moment. It would be very simple for him to come forward and use the Great Light Style to destroy it. But if he had to deal with this kind of thing, the noise would be too great. Assuming that existence is there,

It will definitely arouse his great vigilance, and he cannot come forward until he is found.

But fortunately, he had thought about this section before and considered it when making the plan. He walked aside, picked up the phone, and dialed a phone number. After a while, Liao Donghai's voice came out,

"Director Chen?"

Chen Chuanchuan: "Mr. Liao, please invite Mr. Lan to come over."
