Chapter 90: Prepare for War
Tuesday, June 10th.
In a heavily guarded secret base.
The big screen in front of Snow Ley was showing the terrorist attack that took place after the regular parliamentary session ended last weekend.
The congressmen's hovercrafts were rammed crazily by a hovercraft of unknown origin, and the hovercrafts of several congressmen, including Dr. Zhang, crashed one after another.
Immediately afterwards, the hovercraft that Chen She was carrying counterattacked these hovercrafts of unknown origin, shooting down several of them on the spot, while the others quickly escaped.
Snow Ley gestured to retract the image on the big screen and watched it again in slow motion.
"William, what's the situation now?"
Next to Snow Ley stood a middle-aged man in black clothes. Although he no longer looked young, there were no wrinkles on his face. He had a strong body and sharp eyes. It was obvious that he was a powerful man.
If anyone is familiar with the Black Umbrella Group, they will recognize that the middle-aged man in black is called William. He is a senior executive of the Black Umbrella Group and also a strong man in the genetic pathway.
According to common sense, he should be in the Western Continent at this moment, leading the Black Umbrella Group's corporate army to encircle and suppress the rebels in the Western Continent, but he has already arrived in Dawn City without anyone noticing, and came to Snow Ley's side.
William said in a low voice: "The news of the congressman being attacked has been broadcasted in major media and caused a stir. All parties are willing to support the suppression of the Space-Time Knights, hoping to completely eliminate the Space-Time Knights' power from Dawn City."
"The Space-Time Knights have not made any response yet, which is enough to prove that your judgment is correct."
Snow Ley nodded with satisfaction.
So far, everything has been going exactly as he expected.
But he rewound the image on the big screen and watched it again, feeling a little bothered. It was obvious that this scene was not part of his plan, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
William asked, "Does this Chen She from Lishan Technology need special attention?"
Snow Ley was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head, "It shouldn't be necessary."
"This hovercraft looks like it has been modified and has certain combat capabilities. But I think this proves that he is rather timid. Even when attending an important event like the Dawn City Council, he did not forget to ensure his own safety."
"And judging from the proposals he put forward in the parliament and his previous performance, he seems to be only interested in making money and dreaming. This incident is just a coincidence."
"So far, no direct evidence has been found linking Lishan Technology to this series of events."
"Most of the results of the Naraku Project were taken away by the Time Knights or directly destroyed . However, our plan was very successful, and we can smoothly search for the remaining members of the Time Knights. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find the results of the Naraku Project."
"The people of the Spacetime Knights have not made a public response yet. This can only mean two things. Either they have been completely annihilated and suffered heavy losses, and can only survive, or they have more important things to do, so they have to swallow this loss in silence."
"But in any case, this means our plan can proceed smoothly."
"William, as long as you can find the results of the Naraku Project, all the credit for the Naraku Project can be attributed to the Black Umbrella Group. By then, when the three paths of genes, computing power, and machinery are connected, immortality will no longer be an illusory dream."
William nodded slightly, “I understand.”
…
At the same time, Chen She was in a field base, discussing this incident with several senior leaders of the resistance army.
Du Guanqi sent several pieces of information to the holographic projection in front of everyone.
"Dr. Zhang does have some conflicts with the Black Umbrella Group. He has previously publicly criticized the Black Umbrella Group for conducting some inhumane genetic experiments, and Dr. Zhang's genetic pharmaceutical company also has a direct conflict of interest with the Black Umbrella Group."
"Based on the clues the captain saw at the scene, this attack was most likely aimed at Dr. Zhang and framed on the Space-Time Knights. We cannot rule out the possibility that someone from the Black Umbrella Group was behind this."
"It's a pity that we can't get more information. The information we know now is not enough to make a more accurate inference. It is also possible that the people of the Space-Time Knights simply went crazy, and Dr. Zhang unfortunately became a victim."
So far, Du Guanqi and other leaders of the resistance army have not known that Chen She has transformed the other side of the space and successfully seized the entire branch of the Space Knights in Liming City. They just judged two different situations based on the information they have obtained so far.
Zhang Sirui said: "I don't think we need to be overly nervous about this matter. It's just an ordinary member who died. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon."
"It's not uncommon for large corporations to hire someone to kill someone for their own benefit. But this time, they did it right after the council meeting ended, and their attitude was indeed a bit arrogant."
"It will probably not be very smooth for this Silver Star envoy to encircle and suppress the members of the Space-Time Knights in Dawn City. After all, the Space-Time Knights are hiding underground. They are proficient in telepathy and have connected the underground space-time rifts like a maze. Even if the corporate army is sent to encircle and suppress them, they will basically be fooled and will not achieve much results."
"We still focus on our own development."
Chen She did not comment.
Obviously, what Zhang Sirui said makes sense, and this matter does not seem to have much to do with Lishan Technology.
But Chen She always felt that there was something strange about this matter, and there should be more to it than that. What was Snow Lei's purpose in coming to Dawn City as the Silver Star's special envoy? If there was no clear reason, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to destroy the Space-Time Knights.
Unless he has other purposes, and destroying the Knights of Time and Space is just a cover.
This made Chen She a little worried.
"Although we are still unclear about the other party's specific intentions, we must seize the time to prepare for war just in case."
"I decided to build a training ground at the field base to further enhance the brothers' combat and coordination capabilities under extreme conditions. And to pair it with two training versions of Mewtwo, virtual training and real-life training will be combined."
"In addition, we must speed up the construction of the base's defense facilities."
In fact, there is one thing Chen She did not say clearly. He also wants to carry out a series of upgrades and training for the Knights of Time and Space through Grantham.
After all, he had finally taken over the branch of the Space-Time Knights in Dawn City. If he just lost it for no reason, it would be a bit too painful. By keeping this branch, Chen She could continue to develop and expand it, and it might play a crucial role at some point in the future.
Zhang Sirui was stunned for a moment, "Captain, if there is a real training ground, it will definitely be a good thing for the brothers. After all, it is difficult to achieve the best results if we only train in Mewtwo without the opportunity for actual combat training."
"But the problem is that there are many problems with real training grounds. The larger the training ground, the more noise it makes during training, and the easier it is to be exposed. Moreover, the training effect that can be achieved by building a training ground itself may not be very good, unless a lot of money is spent on making the corresponding training equipment."
"Under the current circumstances, the most we can do is to create a shooting range for training. The training effect of this kind of training may not be much better than that of Mewtwo in Desperate Battle."
Zhang Sirui's worries are obviously not unfounded.
If you want to build a real training ground, you must solve two problems: the first is how to conceal it, and the second is how to ensure the training effect.
At present, the impression left by the Lishan Technology Field Base is that it is a conventional base used only for collecting space-time particles, and most of the facilities are hidden. Even the defense facilities built, such as the electromagnetic coil, look like a simple power transmission device.
Large training grounds are often open-air and may involve the use of some large equipment. Wouldn’t this make them too easy to be exposed?
If it is a small training ground, the concealment of the indoor training ground is quite good, but the training effect will definitely not be very good. At most, it can be used as an indoor shooting range.
On the other hand, in the game "Desperate Struggle", the resistance fighters can experience some very extreme combat situations in the game, and constantly hone their combat skills in one death after another. In reality, simply making a shooting range for training may not be as effective as the game "Desperate Struggle".
After all, now both Mewtwo, "Embers of Desolation" and "Desperate Confrontation", have special training versions, and with the blessing of the creator power of Chen She, the training effect is very good.
Chen She said: "Don't worry about this, you will know after I build the training ground."
The responsible persons looked at each other. Since Mr. Chen had said so, there was nothing to worry about. They could just do as Mr. Chen said.
…
After the meeting, Chen She entered his own conscious world again.
At present, the various risk indexes on the pendulum are still within the normal range, but Chen She feels that he cannot take it lightly and must strengthen corresponding training and preparation.
The Silver Star envoy Snow Ley gave Chen She a very dangerous feeling.
Although these people have not yet suspected Chen She, Chen She must prepare for the worst in advance.
At this moment in the conscious world, Ember and Grantham are still honing their skills as usual.
Yu Jin's cold weapon combat skills have reached an extremely high level. It can be said that in terms of pure skills, there are probably few people in the entire Old Land who can beat him. And Grantham has also reached an extremely high level in controlling space-time creatures. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to easily kill the knights of the Space-Time Knights with just a mouse-sized space-time creature.
And around Chen She's world of consciousness, the black tides were still surging and spreading inward.
A whole month had passed since the power of Epsilon was borrowed, and at this time, Epsilon's power had once again grown rapidly.
Chen She felt that it was almost ready to use again.
Although the power of Epsilon is dangerous to use, Chen She has been carefully controlling the extent of its use. Especially after he obtained Grantham as his servant, he became more and more proficient in the power of synaesthesia, so when using the power of Epsilon, the risk will be reduced accordingly.
For Chen She, it is not safe not to use the power of Epsilon at all. After all, this power will continue to expand, and it is very likely to break through the critical point if it is not consumed.
After borrowing Epsilon's power, he just had to make sure not to borrow it too frequently and not let Epsilon's power grow much faster than Chen She's own power.
As soon as Chen She moved his mind, the black tide immediately became turbulent and boiling . The endless synaesthesia power began to rise according to Chen She's will, instantly raising his energy fluctuation level to the peak state of level 6 energy fluctuation!
…
At the same time, in the underground branch of the Space-Time Knights in Dawn City.
Chen She's consciousness took over Grantham's body.
Although Grantham, as a servant, is far away from Chen She, the magical characteristics of the creator allow Chen She to control Grantham unhindered.
Gao Jingwu and other rebels disguised as knights of the Space-Time Knights are currently conducting routine training.
They originally did not have professions that allowed them to have synesthesia, but after death and changing bodies, they could only continue to use the profession of this body.
For example, Gao Jingwu uses Coker's body, and Coker himself is a time traveler, so Gao Jingwu can only continue to grow along the career path of a time traveler.
This is not an easy task for these resistance fighters.
Because the improvement systems of different professions are very different. For example, the genetic pathway requires constantly transforming one's body through various genetic drugs, and through hard training, constantly strengthening one's control over the body and reaction ability.
The mechanical approach requires constant transformation of the body and constant adaptation to various combat-integrated usage methods to improve adaptability to the mechanical body.
The ability of synesthesia is to improve the affinity between oneself and space-time creatures, and compared with genetic and mechanical pathways, it has a completely different set of rules.
Although Gao Jingwu had made some achievements in other fields before, changing to a completely new profession meant starting from scratch. His previous combat experience and knowledge were not very useful.
During this period, it has been very difficult for everyone to adapt to their current bodies and become familiar with the combat methods of their current professions.
Gao Jingwu noticed the difference in Grantham's state and realized that it was Chen She who took over this body.
Chen She called everyone over, "Everyone come here, I have something very important to tell you."
"Soon, the corporate armies of some of the big conglomerates in Dawn City will join forces with the DCPD to encircle and suppress the Space-Time Knights branch in Dawn City, so we must be prepared in advance."
Chen She recounted in detail the attack he suffered at the Dawn City Council and put forward his own speculations based on the situation at the scene.
He looked at Gao Jingwu, "Does any other large conglomerate have people who have synesthesia?"
Gao Jingwu nodded, "Of course there are. In fact, there are many large financial groups that also covet the power of synaesthesia. Although they all curse the Space-Time Knights, they are also very envious of their powerful combat power."
"When we were fighting the Black Umbrella Group in the Western Continent, we were attacked by people who possessed telepathic powers."
"The Black Umbrella Group is not only conducting research on genetic engineering, they are also trying to change people's synaesthesia talents through genetic modification, and are working hard to cultivate a special force that masters synaesthesia."
"I'm afraid this kind of thing is not just happening to the Black Umbrella Group. Other big financial groups should also have similar plans."
Chen She nodded. It seemed that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There was a lot going on here.
"That's why we need to improve our strength quickly now."
"On the one hand, we must not let them find our true location underground. On the other hand, we must be prepared for battle. Even if they are found, we must try our best to preserve our strength and make them pay the price."
Gao Jingwu hesitated. "Captain, I'm afraid this is not that easy. The main reason is that we are too slow in mastering the power of synaesthesia."
"If we want to hide our location, we must build more space-time rifts underground. However, if the other party also has people who are proficient in synesthesia, they may still be able to track us down."
"Besides, our current energy fluctuation level is not high, and we are completely unfamiliar with the profession. If we confront the opponent head-on under such circumstances, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve much effect."
"Perhaps our only advantage is that we are not afraid of death."
The consciousness of Gao Jingwu and his people has been preserved in the other side of space, and their bodies in reality are "borrowed" from the Knights of Space and Time. If they really encounter the masters of the Enterprise Army, the best result is to exchange their lives.
However, after these bodies are consumed, it is not easy to find a body with a certain level of combat power again.
What's more, if the masters of the corporate coalition army come prepared, a strong man with energy fluctuations above level 5 can catch all of them in one fell swoop, and it is basically impossible to exchange their lives for theirs.
Chen She smiled and said, "So I came here this time to help you find a way to quickly improve your abilities."
"In fact, the principle is very simple. From now on, you should stop trying to master conventional synesthesia and conventional combat methods, and you don't need to think about how to control space-time creatures."
"The only combat skill you need to master is how to keep yourself on the edge of losing control and unleash the most powerful force in the shortest possible time."
"As for what happens next, you don't have to worry about it."
"Compared to the general members of the Space-Time Knights, you have a more unique advantage. Your consciousness is attached to the other side of the space, and you can be resurrected continuously."
