Chapter 1500 A Gap in the Deep Curtain

After the internal meeting, Jin Guogang first communicated with several large companies, and after confirming the details, he convened a meeting with representatives from all companies in the central city.

At the meeting, he announced that in order to ensure the healthy operation of the skyline, the central cities within the skyline's coverage area would undergo a two-day information maintenance in sequence, starting with Jebu Province.

Information exchange will be somewhat affected during the maintenance period, but a certain number of field biological devices will be deployed in various areas of the central city to replace them.

Upon hearing this, the representative of Yuanren Company immediately donated a batch of site equipment and stated that if needed, the company's existing equipment could be temporarily rented to the government.

Following the statement from the original company, other companies also expressed their willingness to cooperate with the government.

Because this is an operation across the entire Skyline, and this matter is covered by the many central cities along the Skyline.

Once covered by the skyline, the connection between many cities is not just about information; the speed and smoothness of resource allocation are also incomparable to the past. The central cities are no longer isolated, but a whole. Even if a link has a problem, it can receive support and supplies from other central cities.

Since Jin Guogang had only recently taken office, in order to ensure that no one would outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, he specifically sent telegrams to Xu Chan in Jiaorong and Yao Zhiyi in Wuyi Academy, hoping that they could be stationed in the central city for the next two days to prevent anyone from causing sabotage.

After the pacification of the old imperial family, the fused lands have not carried out many military operations except for the periodic extermination of the increasingly rampant fused land creatures, so Xu Chan's return to the central city will not have any impact.

At the same time, Jin Guogang also made sure to give the Pure Faction's Jibei Road branch a government commission, asking them to help maintain order at that time.

After settling these matters, he didn't have time to eat, only having a simple cup of nutritious tea to tide him over. He then convened a large number of experts from the technical department to discuss the details and contingency plans.

During the discussion, experts from other cities in Skyline also participated and, with the help of the active consciousness group, came up with a relatively complete solution.

After a whole night of preparation, all the field creatures were in place, and airships arrived one by one to serve as regional signal stations above the central city.

This time, not only were all three airship companies in the central city mobilized, but the civilian airships of each company were also temporarily requisitioned and distributed around the central city, thus ensuring that no surrounding peripheral cities were overlooked.

This event was even larger than the night the female maggots split and reproduced, but without any external interference, everything was completed in an orderly manner.

At midnight that night, a heavy rain began to fall on Jibei Road, and Jin Guogang arrived at the foot of the administrative building.

With the issuance of his administrative order, the Fumu officially entered a dormant state. Subsequently, various technicians quickly entered the airspace where the Fumu was located and began a detailed inspection.

Jin Guogang waited there, while news from outside kept coming in through the field relay equipment and telephones. So far, everything seemed normal.

This incident served as a wake-up call for him. He should no longer handle matters with the mindset of a local central city. Now that the skyline has emerged, he should make good use of its advantages.

When the power of multiple central cities is combined, events that previously seemed to pose a serious crisis to a central city can be dealt with using more resources.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. After leaving the convenience store, Qi Gao glanced at the airship in the sky. Although the maintenance of the information field caused serious delays and stagnation in communication with other skyline cities, the information within the city was not cut off, and the overall impact was not significant.

Of course, some people have complaints, but ultimately the problem isn't completely blocked. After all, it's only for two days, so just bear with it and it will pass.

He got back to his car, started it, and drove south of the city.

He mainly runs a freight business now, but thanks to his early joining of Chen Chuan's team, he not only runs a business that integrates the borders, but has also become the exclusive delivery person for the Pure Party's Jibei Road branch, and maintains a good relationship with Lutong Logistics in the underground city of Jibei Road.

He even started a small company for this purpose. However, even as the boss, when business was busy, he still transported goods outside just like his employees.

About twenty minutes later, he drove into Skull Gang territory.

He had always had business dealings with this gang, initially selling some strange stones from Jiaoshan. Later, he stopped doing that business but would regularly transport a batch of supplies here.

Actually, it's fine not to do this business. It's dangerous and not very profitable. He doesn't need these small sums of money now.

However, there was a newly promoted junior leader in the Skull Gang who used to work for the same company as him. But he was swindled and ended up with a mountain of debt, so he had no choice but to hide in the Skull Gang. This guy had helped him a lot in the past, so he was willing to help him out as well.

Upon arriving here, a slight knocking sound came from the car window, all of which were strange insects.

In fact, due to the city's governance in recent years, the number of alien insects entering the central city through the cracks has been greatly reduced, but many still remain here.

After the car entered the building, it was led by a gang member carrying a crossbow into a cleared area.

A man with a half-implanted hand below the elbow and a tattoo on his shoulder came over. After he got down, the man tossed him a cigarette.

Qi Gao took it, waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to order, and said only, "Old Qu, your son hasn't come these past two days again."

Old Qu cursed, "That little brat's gone mad! I'll give him a good beating when he gets back!" He then put his arm around Qi Gao, "Old Qi, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on this kid."

Old Qi said, "No doubt about it. If it weren't for your help, I would have been done for long ago. But I'm telling you, Old Qu, are you planning to stay here for the rest of your life? I told you before, don't worry about anything. Come to my company and stay with your son. I guarantee they won't cause you any trouble." Old Qu was somewhat tempted. After thinking for a moment, he chuckled and said, "We'll see. The boss has been pretty good to me, and I have so many brothers who rely on me for their livelihood."

Old Qi said, "You can decide for yourself. Anyway, I've reserved a spot for you here. You can come find me anytime you want."

Old Qu patted him gratefully, "Thanks, Lao Qi."

Just as the two were chatting, Lao Qi suddenly saw a figure flicker in the window covered with vines on the dilapidated high-rise building across the street. Although it was just a glimpse, anyone familiar with the place could tell at a glance that it wasn't a member of the Skull Gang.

He asked, "What, what's that?"

Old Qu hesitated for a moment, then pulled him a little closer and whispered, "The boss's guest seems to be from some company. He's been here for several days, acting all mysterious and hiding in the building. I suspect something's up. You shouldn't come over for the next few days."

Old Qi immediately understood that this was most likely some kind of dirty business where the gang was hiring people to do experiments. He was very vigilant. After receiving this reminder, and seeing that the things in the car were almost unloaded, he said, "The things have been delivered, so I won't stay any longer and will be leaving."

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Let's get together again in a couple of days."

After getting into the car, Lao Qi glanced at the window again before driving away.

Inside that room, four technicians with grown beards were gathered around a strange field creature.

One of them said, "If there are no problems, we should see results in three more days, then we'll leave."

Two other people also looked expectant. They had been under a lot of pressure these past few days, unable to contact anyone or engage in any recreational activities. They were also constantly worried that the city center would find out and come after them. They were always on edge and anxious.

Because they knew this matter was too big; once it was exposed, not only they themselves, but their families would likely be involved, and there would be no way to escape it.

Suddenly, a member of the Skull Gang pushed open the door and walked in, casually tossing a boundary token in front of them. "This is today's news," he said, then closed the door and left.

The captain strode forward, picked it up, and put it on his head. Then he frowned and said, "The situation has changed."

"What's wrong?" The technicians were all startled.

The captain handed over the boundary tokens to them, and the technical team members put them on and examined them. Only then did they learn that Jibei Road was adjusting and inspecting large-scale field organisms.

Someone started trembling: "Captain, Captain, have they discovered something wrong?"

To avoid attracting attention, they rarely went out, relying instead on members of the Skull Gang to bring back messages periodically.

The others also looked terrified. "Yeah, Captain, what if we get discovered?"

The captain remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic. They must have discovered something, but it's not a big problem. Once the field closes, the Heart-Eating Worms that have entered will be quickly resisted and digested by the Mother of the Fu. We can release them again once the field recovers."

However, our current supply may be insufficient, and we may need to obtain it from other sources. We'll need to send someone to make contact first.

“Captain, I’ll go…” A team member stood up and started to walk out, but the captain grabbed him. “Forgot? We can’t just go out like that.”

The team member scratched his greasy hair in frustration and said, "Do we have to find the Skull Gang again? What a hassle!"

The captain said, "It's better to be careful. The Skull Gang members are all locals. With their people leading the way, we can stay hidden. Just bear with it a little longer. It'll only take ten days or so. Two days of maintenance is the limit. They have absolutely no chance of coming back again."

After leaving the Skull Gang, Qi Gao found it increasingly strange, because he had been associated with the Skull Gang for so many years, but he had never seen any outsiders stay in the gang. On the contrary, they were very hostile to the company's people and rejected all modern technology.

Thinking about the Pure Faction's instructions to keep an eye on certain things these past two days, and considering that he had followed Chen Chuan before and was sensitive to many things, he felt that this matter could not be ignored.

So I used the Lower Realm Token and contacted a newly joined member of the Pure Faction who was in charge of this.

"Brother Zhai, I've made a discovery and I'd like to tell you about it..."

"OK……"

The guy opposite him, Zhai, didn't seem to care much after hearing his description, because who would connect the affairs of a fringe gang with the government's favor? It was too far off. However, he still recorded it out of respect for the gang's rules.
