Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 430: Situation

The next day, as the sky gradually brightened, Chen Chuan opened his eyes from deep meditation.

He felt that Cultivation with Special drugs in the Convergence Zone seemed to have a better effect than in Central City.

But it also seemed to carry more risks.

He looked at Second Self . The signs of fading within were obvious and deeply entrenched. It seemed this intrusion was long-lasting, and he didn't know how long it would take to eliminate it.

Cultivating here with drugs required more caution. He couldn't do it as frequently as in Central City, since he still had combat missions to undertake.

He got up, washed, and was about to go outside for some exercise when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle from outside, indicating something was happening.

Sensing this, he changed into the uniform issued to him yesterday and walked out of the dormitory to the open space in the middle of the fortress. He saw the Base gate open and a team of garrison soldiers jogging out, but no vehicles were being mobilized.

He knew at a glance that something had gone wrong in the nearby area. So, with salutes from the sentries on both sides, he walked out of the gate. Once outside, he immediately discovered the Anomaly without needing to search.

On the thick snow in front, not far from the tracks, was a series of huge footprints. Each was about two or three meters long, deeply embedded, revealing the dark mud underneath.

Judging from the footprints, it looked like some kind of large quadruped. It came from the direction of the tracks and stretched out of sight. The closest point was only twenty or thirty meters from the fortress wall, almost right next to it.

Several technicians and officers stood beside the footprints, discussing. Although they spoke quietly, their words still reached Chen Chuan's ears clearly.

"Looks like a big guy?"

"Not necessarily. In the Convergence Zone, what you don't see doesn't count, and what you do see can't be completely trusted. So, the footprints might just be footprints, and there might not really be anything there."

The officer called over a guard who had been on duty the previous day and asked, "Was there any activity last night?"

The soldier saluted. "Reporting, sir, everything was normal last night. We didn't hear anything. These tracks were discovered during the morning patrol."

The officer seemed used to it and casually ordered, "Record it and file it away."

Chen Chuan looked at the footprints for a while, then turned back.

Because how to Control Activity Index was the most important thing at the moment, he had directly applied for it when going through the procedures yesterday, setting the time for eight o'clock in the morning.

He went back, ate something, and met up with his two teammates. They arrived at the training room, where the teacher in charge of teaching the Breathing Technique was already there.

This one was named Zhai, also a Third-Limit Martial Artist , whose identity was Martial Combat guardian and instructor within the Base.

After the three arrived, he said a few simple words and began to explain the key points.

Such basic things as Breathing Technique were almost effortless for Chen Chuan and the others. After listening once, all three grasped it easily. Next was diligent practice.

Yuan Qiu Yuan's attitude towards this teacher was completely different from his attitude towards Tian Yu, showing great respect. After mastering the Breathing Technique, he stood up and asked, "Instructor Zhai, besides Breathing Technique and Drugs, what other ways are there to avoid the harm of Activation?"

Instructor Zhai said, "Yes, transplanting an Implant can effectively avoid this. Because the activity level of imitation Implants is not high, they are difficult to be Activated, so they are widely used. Ordinary garrison soldiers here use combat Implants.

Martial Artists also have corresponding Martial Combat Implants. If you need them, we can arrange it. However, matching a Third Limit Implant takes a long time and requires taking Mutated Tissue from your bodies. So, even if you submit an application, you will have to wait for some time."

Yuan Qiu Yuan shook his head. "I don't need it. I only trust my own fists and weapons."

Instructor Zhai said, "Adhering to your original intention is right, but we are combat personnel. What will happen in the future is not determined by your own wishes, but by your enemies.

I have served here for over twelve years and have seen people whose bodies, limbs, or internal organs were excessively Activated and had to be replaced with Implants. More often, they lost parts in combat. They also went from initially not accepting to accepting, and many are still active on the front lines and have become the backbone.

In the front lines, this is already the mainstream.

For example, me, the same is true..."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing a muscular arm.

It could be seen that the lower half of his arm below the elbow had been replaced with an Implant. The appearance looked almost the same as before because it was covered by his grown Skin.

But if you look closely, you can see some differences.

"This Implant is adapted to my Mutated Tissue. It feels almost the same as before and does not hinder my combat. On the contrary, some areas are enhanced.

As an instructor, I give you a piece of advice: don't reject things that can save your life, even if they don't seem so good at first. It's better to keep your life than anything else. Times are changing, and maybe you can get back what you regret someday."

Yuan Qiu Yuan curled his lip. Although he respected the instructor, he still politely declined this kind of thing. He had higher pursuits. Installing this would mean that progress would depend entirely on technology.

After the Breathing Technique course here ended, the three went to the screening room to continue the class. This time, the main focus was on explaining the environment of the Convergence Zone.

They were at the near end of the Convergence Zone, far from the World Ring as everyone knew it. This was also the area where this world had been most deeply conquered, opened up, and Controlled by various countries, considered the rear.

But this was not really safe because the Convergence Zone was too vast. They could only Control the sections along the tracks and part of the perimeter of the military Base.

Yuan Qiu Yuan raised his hand at this time. After getting permission to speak from Tian Yu, he said, "I came here to protect the World Ring, but judging from this, it should be very far from us, right? Will it even be our turn to go up there?"

Tian Yu said, "From a conventional distance, it is indeed very far. However, the World Ring is not just a simple existence in reality. Because the opposite world is more inclined to invade at the Spirit level, it is actually an energy field isolation zone jointly built by various Field Entities in Central City.

The three Executive Officers should know that the location of Central City is the forefront of the collision between the two worlds, a breach between the two worlds, and an anchor point for the other world. Therefore, when these resistance anchor point energy fields are gathered together, all passages into our world are tightly blocked."

As she spoke, she pointed with her pointer, and the projector showed all the Central Cities around the world. Above the Central Cities, there was a huge light representing the energy field."...When these are connected together, it looks like this."

Chen Chuan looked and saw that the lights of all the Central Cities were connected, like a shimmering nebula light band, swirling back and forth together.

"Because when all the Central Cities are connected, their presentation in the material world is like a huge ring. This is the origin of the World Ring.

However, the presentation of the energy field on the Spirit level may be different. When combining the two defensive aspects of reality and Spirit, it is collectively referred to as the "World Ring'."

Speaking here, she solemnly said, "Because the Biological Field is more inclined to the Spirit level, some unique Martial Artists and powerful Resonators , with the help of certain special conditions, their Spirits have a certain possibility of penetrating this barrier, approaching or reaching the opposite side.

So, the World Ring may be far away, but in fact, it is right next to you."

"Then what exactly is on the other side of the World Ring?"

Yuan Qiu Yuan asked curiously from below.

"Executive Officer Yuan Qiu Yuan , please raise your hand to ask questions."

Yuan Qiu Yuan immediately raised his hand and impatiently said again, "Instructor Tian, what's on the other side?"

Tian Yu said, "This is confidential. The higher-ups strictly prohibit disclosure, and the Government and various large companies strictly prohibit anyone from crossing the World Ring privately, because this kind of action is a destruction of the World Ring itself."

She straightened her small face, raised her voice, and solemnly reminded, "Executive Officers, don't even think about crossing over, because those who have that ability are either eliminated or recruited by the Government and Company. They will ambush and locate anyone who crosses over arbitrarily.

Once confirmed, a team composed of Government and Company Unions from various countries will come to suppress them. After confirming the first defense plan, they have the right to eliminate any individuals and forces that exceed this limit without trial."

Yuan Qiu Yuan shrugged. "Okay, never mind I asked."

Qin Qing Que raised her hand at this time.

"Executive Officer Qin Qing Que , what do you want to ask?" Tian Yu's attitude softened a little.

"Our enemies."

Qin Qing Que asked seriously, "Since we are here to participate in the defense of the World Ring, please tell us, who are our enemies, and where are they?"

"It seems the three of you are a little impatient." A voice came from the side of the podium in the screening room.

Chen Chuan looked up from his seat and saw an officer in uniform, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, standing straight, walking out of the side door.

He walked to the front of the podium and saluted the three. "I am Ding Mou , a tactical staff officer from the Command Center, ordered to convey the action arrangements to your team."

Yuan Qiu Yuan heard this and his eyes lit up immediately.

Qin Qing Que's whole body tensed up naturally, entering a certain state.

Ding Mou looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Executive Officer Chen, because you have just entered here, the higher-ups originally planned to let you rest for two days, familiarize yourself with the environment here and the things you need to pay attention to, and then arrange some adaptive tasks for you.

However, an urgent message was sent from other outposts just now. Currently, other teams have been transferred to the front to carry out tasks, and only your combat-capable team is in a free state, so you may have to end the course arrangement early."
