Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 199: Sweeping Up

After beheading the strong man with a single strike, Chen Chuan went forward and used his knife to pry open the man's coat, revealing a black, very thick protective armor underneath.

This equipment looked quite high-end, seemingly capable of resisting blades without the need for Internal energy. It was clear the strong man wanted to use this feature to catch him off guard. An ordinary person wouldn't have been able to react.

Although he hadn't used the Heavy Slashing Knife Technique at the time, this type of protective gear was only possessed by a Company team. It was conceivable that the Blood Ink Guards of Molan Company undoubtedly had better protective gear.

If that were the case, fighting them would be difficult, requiring careful consideration of how to fight.

When they fought here, the An Tan Company people didn't hesitate to leave. After all, in this Limit's battle, others couldn't help even if they wanted to; they wouldn't know where to aim their guns. Besides, they had just made a profit and were thinking of going back to enjoy it, so why risk their lives?

On the high slope, the Captain asked, "special envoy, should we chase them?"

Old Feng shook his head. The mission was only to ensure the goods were intercepted. There was no need to waste manpower and resources to kill all the An Tan Company people, because even if one group was killed, another could be sent.

They deliberately left a person of importance behind, partly to prevent being pursued, but also to give an explanation to An Tan Company.

He instructed, "Send a Telegram to let Old Tian move." Now that the Melan support personnel had been intercepted, there was no need to leave the camp they encountered earlier; it could be destroyed directly.

The team member nodded and immediately went back to send the Telegram.

At the same time, gunfire erupted on the opposite slope, as two flanking squads launched an attack on the unidentified armed team.

Old Feng could tell from the gunfire that his side's attack was very rhythmic, with proper coordination between long and short ranges, leaving gaps for those skilled in Martial Combat to assault.

In contrast, the opposing side was chaotic, with little coordination. Some people simply kept pulling the trigger, almost at the level of some teams in the wilderness.

A team like that could only survive if they had Martial Combat experts or well-equipped Implant.

But it was useless. His team had ways to deal with such people, not to mention that the flanking team included the squad Chen Chuan brought, who were very useful for surprise attacks when wearing protective gear.

So, after listening for a while, he stopped paying attention and led his people down to the battlefield.

First, a few team members stepped forward to shoot the people on the ground to make sure they were dead. Then, he personally went to check the goods, opening the rear door of the transport vehicle to find a whole truckload of High-Energy Nutrient.

It seemed all the High-Energy Nutrient ordered from outside were here. As for the Fighting Mantis, there weren't as many as expected, only ten stacked boxes in the corner. This was normal, since no matter how many Fighting Mantis were bought, they couldn't move without High-Energy Nutrient.

Confirming that there were no problems, he felt relieved. The mission was successfully completed. At this time, everyone turned their heads, and he turned back to see Chen Chuan returning.

He praised, "Young Chen, well done!"

Chen Chuan said, "It was Special Envoy Feng and everyone who created the opportunity for me."

Old Feng smiled. This was one of the reasons he favored Chen Chuan. The latter didn't have the arrogance of thinking he was so great that he didn't need to care about others. He didn't care about those things, but many people did.

He turned around and said, "The mission is successfully completed. After returning this time, I will ask Commissioner Cao to reward everyone."

The team members immediately responded, "Thank you, special envoy!"

This mission was actually very easy. Although it seemed that Chen Chuan was the main force, and it was obvious that Old Feng was deliberately promoting this young man, they had no dissatisfaction.

What's wrong with being able to complete the mission without doing too much? Risking their lives might get them more bonuses, but if they lost their lives, what they would get was only a pension.

They would step up when they needed to, but they would also save effort when they could.

At this time, the two flanking squads returned. The Captain came forward and said, "special envoy, the unidentified armed team has been completely annihilated, with thirty-four killed on the spot and five captured."

"What about the prisoners?"

The Captain waved his hand, "Bring them up."

The five prisoners were immediately brought forward. Xiao Xiao was restrained with special ropes, his hands had been cut off, revealing the cross-section of the Implant, with tissue fluid still flowing.

When he came over, his eyes were still unruly, but when he saw Chen Chuan standing there with a knife, and thought of what he had just seen, he showed a look of fear and lowered his head.

Mr. Ling was obviously the leader, so he was brought before Old Feng, who asked, "Which Company are you from?"

Mr. Ling gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Old Feng said, "We have many ways to make you talk, but it's easier if you tell us yourself. Even if you don't, I can find out with a little effort." As he spoke, a team member took out a handgun and pointed it at Mr. Ling's head, as if he would shoot if the answer was wrong.

Mr. Ling wasn't a very resolute person, but he didn't want to seem too cheap by answering immediately. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately replied, "Ferris Wheel Corporation."

Old Feng thought for a moment, and had some impression. This was a newly rising small Company that had created many bizarre things. Currently, the General Affairs Bureau's attention was focused on large company, and this kind of small Company was not worth paying attention to, but since they had run into them, they couldn't pretend they didn't see them.

He said, "Take them all back, create a file, and pay more attention to this Company in the future."

After the people were taken away, he asked again, "Has the team that attacked Molan Company been identified?"

"It's been identified. They are just a hired team, but they don't know who hired them."

Old Feng said, "There must be a person in charge coordinating in the middle, otherwise this kind of armed team would take the money and disband. Old Zhao, find a way to dig him out."

"Yes." A lean team member responded.

At this time, a Telegram operator came over and saluted him, "special envoy, Commissioner Cao sent a Telegram to ask if it has been handled?"

Old Feng looked at his watch and said, "It's only just past four o'clock and he's already sending Telegrams. Lao Cao is too anxious. Send him a Telegram back saying that the matter has been handled. Everyone else, quickly clean up here and we'll go back."

The team members responded in unison.

Half an hour later, after cleaning up the scene, everyone began to return. By the time they returned to Yangzhi City, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning.

This time, the General Affairs Bureau established a temporary base in the Patrol Bureau headquarters, which had complete fortresses and underground works preserved from the Great Reclamation era, so they could hold out for a long time even in unexpected situations.

As Old Feng led Chen Chuan in, it seemed they were discussing strategies against Molan Company. They heard a thick voice saying, "My suggestion is to concentrate our Strength to attack the Molan Company Building, so that none of them can escape and we can solve all the problems once and for all!"

Commissioner Cao's voice then came out, "Molan Company's building is in the city center, only one kilometer away from the Government Affairs Hall's conference hall. This is also a densely populated area. Choosing to start a war here will cause many casualties."

"Can't we evacuate in advance? Besides, doing this kind of thing inevitably involves sacrifices. The faster we solve it, the fewer sacrifices there will be. If you keep dragging on like this, I think the higher-ups will replace you sooner or later."

"I still insist on the opinion I submitted, to let Molan Company come out of that turtle shell themselves, and then encircle them outside."

"How are you going to get them out?"

Commissioner Cao only said, "They will come out."

"I'm waiting. You only have ten days. If you can't handle it within ten days, then I will launch at any time"

After the argument ended, the person who spoke strode out from inside. Chen Chuan saw that this was a burly man about two meters tall, around fifty years old, with a vertical scar at the corner of his eye, his lips tightly pursed, and his uniform seemed to be stretched tightly by the muscles on his body. When he walked, it felt like the floor was shaking.

This person met the two of them, his eyes first passing over Old Feng, and then falling on Chen Chuan. He looked at him and said, "You are Chen Chuan? I have seen what you said in the Courtroom, very good! To deal with those unstable elements, we should take the initiative and leave none behind! After the national conscription ends, you can come to me. I have a stage here where you can ultilize your talents."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Chuan to reply and strode away.

Chen Chuan asked Old Feng, "Who is this?"

Old Feng said, "Someone from the National Special Operations Committee, specially responsible for supervising our work this time on Commission from above. This person is a bit extreme, try to stay away from him. Those who follow them don't have good endings." He gestured inside, "Let's go in."

The two walked in and saw a spacious war room. On the front wall hung a huge map of Yangzhi City, with some places specially marked with black lines and red dots. In the middle of the war room was a scaled-down terrain model, the most conspicuous of which was MelanBuilding.

Commissioner Cao was standing by the model looking at it, seemingly studying something. After the two came in, he said without looking up, "The mission was completed very well. Molan Company should have received the news by now. I think they will start to act at the latest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Old Feng asked, "Lao Cao, are you sure they will leave?"

"If they stay here, they'll die. Why wouldn't they leave?"

Old Feng said, "Ten days..." He pondered, "Even if you force them out, how are you going to deal with them outside? The difficulty of encircling them like that is undoubtedly higher."

Commissioner Cao said, "I already have a plan." He looked at Chen Chuan, "I received Old Feng's Telegram just now. You did well this time. There is another mission, you will participate in it."

Chen Chuan asked, "What is it?"

Commissioner Cao said, "Participate in attacking Molan Company Building. Even if they leave, they will leave some people behind to guard the house, so as to hold back some of our Strength."

Chen Chuan asked, "Commissioner Cao, can I ask about the time?"

Commissioner Cao said with great certainty, "Within three days, go back and prepare well. During the national mission, the things you consume will be provided by the state. Take this opportunity."

Chen Chuan nodded. This seemed to be a benefit of participating in the national mission. He said, "If there's nothing else, then I'll leave first." After saying goodbye to the two, he left.

The conference room was temporarily left with only Commissioner Cao and Old Feng.

Old Feng looked worried, "Lao Cao, destroying Molan Company is important, but whether we can get the thing is equally important, and the higher-ups value this even more. If you let them out, it will be many times more difficult to find."

Commissioner Cao calmly analyzed, "Even in the Company, they have ways to send it away. It's better to let them take it with them." His eyes fell on the model, and he said coldly, "They can't escape."
