Chapter 106 A Bigger Hole
With the last bit of Epsilon's power, Chen She successfully read Snow Ley's memory, and at the same time injected Gao Jingwu's consciousness into William's body.
As for Snow Ley's body, it certainly cannot be wasted. After all, he is a strong man with level 5 energy fluctuations. It is also handed over to the rebel fighters.
After a fierce battle, the dust finally settled. Although Zhao Zhen, Li Yunhan, Zhang Sirui and others were basically all injured, and two elite resistance fighters were sacrificed, for this operation, it was already a great victory.
The corporate armies of first-class conglomerates such as the Icefield Defense Group, the Mellen Bank Group, and the Fujido Group were completely wiped out, leaving no survivors.
Only Sheriff Violet, the second-level councillors and a small number of personal guards survived. They were frantically looking for a exit while being chased and blocked by the remaining space-time creatures.
Chen She did not kill them because these people had no idea the truth of the matter and could instead cover up for Chen She.
At the moment of Snow Ley's death, Chen She entered his own conscious world to check the condition of the pendulum.
Sure enough, the attention risk dropped sharply after the previous surge, and was even slightly lower than before.
After Snow Ley discovered that the data hard drive was empty, he realized that all the results of the Naraku Project had been obtained by a third party. So if he could leave the underground alive, he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, even turning the entire Dawn City upside down.
By then, Lishan Technology will probably not be spared.
Now that Snow Ley was dead, this suspicion and distrust had completely disappeared, along with Snow Ley's initial concern and distrust for Lishan Technology.
Chen She let out a long sigh, and the long-lost sense of security once again emerged in his heart.
However, the next second, Chen She suddenly found that the attention risk on the pendulum suddenly jumped violently and increased a lot!
Although the increase was not much compared to before, this growth still made Chen She feel frightened.
"what's the situation?"
Chen She was shocked. He had carried out the entire plan flawlessly, making all those who knew about it disappear completely underground. Why would the risk of attention increase?
Chen She soon understood. As he gradually integrated Snow Ley's memories, he knew where the problem lay.
The problem is that he completely underestimated Snow Ley's status and power!
In Snow Ley's memory, he saw an old man who was nearly 100 years old. The old man touched Snow Ley's head with his withered hands, and his eyes showed extremely complicated emotions.
There seemed to be appreciation, pity, and even a hint of greed.
The old man was lying on the hospital bed, and beside him were two young men who were dressed elegantly but had pale faces and lifeless eyes. A special blood circulation device connected the blood circulation systems of the old man and the two young men together.
Snow Ley reported his recent work to the old man and spoke of his recent achievements with great pride.
He called the old man "Great Grandfather"!
From Snow Ley's memory, Chen She learned that the old man's name was Quinay Ley.
He is the chief and the one who truly controls this world!
As the number one family on Silver Star, the Lei family's influence extends to almost every corner of the Old Land and holds shares in almost all major conglomerates.
And Quinay Rey is not only the actual ruler of the world, but also the richest man in the world!
Snow Lye was a great-grandson of Quinay Lye who was very much in love with him.
This time, Snow Ley came to Dawn City to investigate the results of the Naraku Project, not because of his own whim, but because of the instruction of his great-grandfather.
Chen She felt a chill in his heart.
It's over. It's all over!
Since there was too little intelligence about Silver Star from the Old Land, Chen She mistakenly believed that Snow Ley was just an ordinary senator from Silver Star. Although he was able to act arrogantly in the Old Land, he was not a big shot on Silver Star.
But he was obviously wrong, because Snow Ley was one of those top rich second-generation people who nobody could afford to mess with on Silver Star!
What would the Silver Star Federation do if such a person died inexplicably in the underground of Dawn City?
They will definitely dig out the truth about Snow Ley's death at all costs, even if it means turning the entire Dawn City upside down!
At this time, Chen She realized that the Naraku Project was actually a plan that could give people immortality. As long as people's consciousness could be uploaded to the virtual world and then the virtual consciousness could be written into a new body, no matter how much content was lost in it, as long as the main body of consciousness could be preserved, it would be equivalent to achieving the goal of immortality in disguise.
For those bigwigs who are already old and dying, even if this plan has certain flaws, so what?
As long as there is the slightest chance of survival, they will seize it at all costs.
The Naraku Project actually involves the most powerful person in the entire world, the actual ruler of Silver Star, who is searching for the results of the Naraku Project.
No wonder the attention risk has gone up again.
These big shots on Silver Star cannot directly target Lishan Technology and Chen She. If they do, the risk of attention will probably have exploded and the pendulum will have taken off.
But the death of Snow Ley alone was enough to cause an earthquake on the Silver Star, forcing the Silver Star Federation and the big tycoons on the old land to flatten the entire underground world at all costs and find the truth behind Snow Ley's death!
Chen She was a little confused, he thought he had resolved the crisis with his skillful operation. But he didn't expect that the crisis was only temporarily resolved, and there was a bigger crisis coming!
In order to gamble on a hole, he ended up making a bigger hole.
Chen She was helpless. But at this point, it was useless to think about it. The people had already been killed, and it was meaningless to think about it. It was better to retreat first.
"Don't take anything with you. I can find a way to get these things out later."
For Chen She, although he used a large number of space-time particles this time, which was a bit of a loss, it was not without gain.
On the one hand, he obtained a lot of secrets from Snow Ley's memory, and this information was crucial to Chen She. On the other hand, both the Icefield Defense Group and the Black Umbrella Group sent out the most elite teams, so the equipment they held and the combat uniforms they wore were also the most advanced products.
For other consortiums, seizing a weapon is no big deal. After all, there is only one, and it is too difficult to disassemble and copy it.
But Chen She is different. He is a creator. As long as he can get the prototypes of these weapons and equipment, and as long as he is willing to spend time and space-time particles, he will be able to copy them sooner or later.
These people from Lishan Technology had to evacuate. If they carried any equipment from the Icefield Defense Group, it would arouse suspicion, so they couldn't take anything with them.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, Gao Jingwu and his group are still underground. Chen She can also create another Grantham and leave it here. When the time comes, as long as these weapons and equipment are disassembled through Grantham, Chen She can copy these weapons in the base of Lishan Technology.
"withdraw!"
…
At this time, Sheriff Ouellet was cheering and encouraging these second-level councillors, boosting their morale, while killing the time and space creatures that blocked their way and leading them out.
"Everyone hold on a little longer, the exit is right in front of us."
"There are fewer and fewer space-time creatures, which means that space-time activities are weakening. Maybe communication will be restored soon."
“Don’t fall behind!”
Sheriff Violet also wanted to know what was going on with Snow Ley. But he didn't dare to abandon these second-level councillors and walk away. Moreover, he was injured in the previous battle. It was still unclear whether he could find anyone if he went back. Even if he did, he would not be able to help much.
So now he could only grit his teeth and try his best to get these second-level councilors out safely. The rest was beyond his ability.
Several second-level councillors, including Wu Yisu, all had sad faces and looked like they were about to cry.
Didn't we agree that we were just here for fun this time?
It was said that the Space-Time Knights were very weak, so they could be easily successful in this operation?
What is happening now? Why are we the last survivors?
Especially the suicide attacks of the Spacetime Knights who didn't care about death at all, the frenzy when they were on the verge of losing control, and the large amount of spacetime matter produced during the explosion, all caused them extremely severe stimulation. Several second-level councillors with fragile mentalities were about to faint at that time.
Everyone fled in panic, but on the way they encountered many space-time creatures that appeared due to space-time activities. They ran around, groping their way out, and each of them was exhausted.
Just when they were about to see the dawn, several terrifying space-time creatures suddenly appeared in front of them.
Wu Yisu's heart skipped a beat and he burst into tears, "It's over. I should not have joined in on this fun! I just wanted to gain some experience and connections, but I didn't expect to lose my life. These space-time creatures are ruthless and will eat people without leaving any bones or scraps. Now it's impossible for me to leave a whole body!"
When he cried, the other second-level councillors also showed tragic or heroic expressions. Although the energy fluctuations of these space-time creatures were not very high, Sheriff Violet could get out, but it was not certain for them.
At this point in the fight, the bodyguards around them were basically out of ammunition and food, not to mention that the bodyguards could hardly protect themselves, so how could they risk their lives to protect their safety?
Therefore, all these second-level members were filled with a state of sadness.
Just then, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly came from the distance!
These second-level councillors were frightened like frightened birds, thinking that the Fujido Group was coming to hunt them down. But when they turned around, they found that it was the combat uniforms of the Lishan Technology Enterprise Army.
Wu Yisu burst into tears of joy, "Boss Chen! Are you still alive?"
The Lishan Technology team was also covered in wounds. Judging from the number of people, it seemed that two of them had been sacrificed. However, compared with the miserable state of these second-level members, their condition was already very good.
Sheriff Violet also became alert and said quickly: "Mr. Congressman! Come and help me to repel these space-time creatures!"
The two teams cooperated and finally averted the danger. Wu Yisu survived the disaster and wanted to cry loudly.
He asked Chen She with some confusion, "Boss Chen, what's going on? Where did you go before?"
Chen She's acting skills exploded at this moment, and the aura of the curse scholar was directly maximized.
"Oh, forget it! We saw the Fujido Group advancing alone, and we thought that since they were all companies in Liming City, it would be too unsafe for them to rush in so recklessly, so we followed behind them and wanted to cooperate with them."
"After all, we are all members of the investigation team. We are all here to complete the investigation goals. We should work together and not bring corporate grudges into the investigation."
"But we didn't expect that these people from the Fujido Group would suddenly turn against us and attack us. Fortunately, we were on guard. We didn't suffer too serious damage and managed to escape."
"In the end, the Fujido Group didn't come after us and continued to move deeper into the area."
"It took us a lot of effort to find all the people who had fled. Communications were also cut off, and there were many space-time creatures around. We got lost underground. While fighting against the space-time creatures, we groped our way out, and finally met you."
At this point, Wu Yisu immediately nodded indignantly, "The Fujitang Group is really a piece of shit!"
"I thought these people were beyond their limits, but I didn't expect them to go even further. They actually cooperated with the Knights of Time and Space, openly attacked the investigation team, and even attacked Mr. Snow Ley!"
"If we hadn't run fast, maybe even we would have died in their hands."
"Then the Fujido Group can leave as the only survivor. Not only can they obtain all the results of this investigation, but they can also use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, seize market share from other companies, and develop their own industries in Liming City."
"What a good plan by the Fujido Group!"
The other second-level councillors also nodded.
"Once we leave here, we must file a complaint with the parliament. The affairs of the Fujido Group must be thoroughly investigated!"
"That's right! What they did was totally lawless and too much."
"I believe that the Icefield Defense Group and the Mellen Bank Group will definitely not let them go!"
"This time, even the big shots on Silver Star are in danger, and their lives are unknown. When the time comes, Silver Star may blame us and uproot the Fujido Group!"
These congressmen were just as angry as Wu Yisu, their teeth itching with hatred.
After all, they saw with their own eyes that the Fujido Group and the Space-Time Knights stood together and attacked them. How could what they saw with their own eyes be false?
With many years of experience in handling cases, Sheriff Violet felt that there might be something fishy going on, but he had never heard of any powerful person being able to accomplish this kind of mind control. It didn't make sense to say that the Fujido Group was being manipulated by someone to do this.
So he didn't say anything, but just urged: "Let's evacuate here first."
"It now appears that our intelligence on the Spacetime Knights branch was seriously wrong. The defense of this branch is completely beyond our imagination. The Spacetime Knights are even deeply colluding with certain companies in Dawn City and have set an ambush for us this time."
"This investigation has completely failed. The most important thing is to preserve our survival. If we die, there will be no evidence of what happened to my brother."
The medical aids in the second episode nodded hurriedly. "Yes, we should evacuate quickly, otherwise the Fujido Group will really catch up and kill us, which will be troublesome."
Everyone rushed out in a panic, and these second-level councilors were still worried along the way, but fortunately there were no new attacks and the space-time activities gradually disappeared.
When they were about to reach the exit, the communication on the bracelet was finally restored.
Sheriff Violet immediately said to the bracelet: "Disperse all media at the exit immediately! There are major problems with this investigation, and no news can be leaked to the media."
"Repeat, block the exits immediately and disperse all media!"
The DCPD on the surface did not ask any further questions. They had already understood from Sheriff Violet's tone that something very serious must have happened underground. Now was not the time to delve into it, so they decided to block the news first and then investigate slowly later.
There were originally many news media outlets reporting on this incident, so the actions of this investigation team were very much a news event and everyone knew about it.
Snow Ley publicly stated that the terrorist attack by the Time and Space Knights against the Dawn City Councillors must be retaliated with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
According to the original plan, after the investigation team returned victoriously from underground, Snow Ley would definitely report the results of the investigation to everyone through the media, stating that the entire Dawn City branch of the Spacetime Knights had been uprooted, and that Dawn City was completely safe from then on.
But now, the investigation team suffered such heavy losses, and only these small fry escaped alive. If this news were to leak out on a large scale, it might cause panic in Liming City and even the entire Old Land, so of course the news had to be blocked first.
Chief Violet looked at the second-level deputies present, "I'm sorry that this happened this time. On behalf of the DCPD, I apologize to everyone."
"I have already contacted an ambulance for everyone. You can enjoy the platinum medical examination service of Weiya Medical Group. All injuries and illnesses this time will be fully reimbursed. Of course, if you are not satisfied with this arrangement and want to return to your own company for treatment, you can do so, but please do not leave Liming City in the short term. You must cooperate with our subsequent investigation."
If it was anyone else, then Sheriff Ouellette would definitely take them all to the DCPD police station. After all, they are all important witnesses to this incident and cannot be let go until the matter is thoroughly investigated.
But the problem is that these second-level councillors basically have businesses in Dawn City, and the "Enterprise Special Law" has strict regulations on this aspect. The DCPD does not dare to restrict the freedom of these people at will.
The only thing we can do is ask them not to leave Dawn City and be ready to cooperate with the investigation at any time.
Chen She nodded and smiled, "No problem, Sheriff, we will cooperate with the investigation seriously."
In my heart, I once again silently thanked the "Enterprise Special Law".
Is this what it feels like to be privileged?
