In the monitoring area at the center of the camp, the scene of Wilhelm being beheaded and dismembered was clearly seen by everyone, including Lenoir. This highly impactful image left their minds blank for a moment, all of them stunned on the spot, unable to react. This was Wilhelm, ranked within the top thirty "Blue Bloods' worldwide! They couldn't see the specific details of the confrontation between the two, nor could they discern the back-and-forth maneuvers during the clash. They only saw Wilhelm being killed instantly upon meeting, which brought them a great shock and awe. Both rationally and emotionally, they couldn't accept it for a moment. They didn't know the identity of the newcomer, only recognizing from Chen Chuan's attire that it was the uniform of the Processing Bureau—probably... an Investigation Director? Was there any Investigation Director in Da Shun ranked within the top thirty worldwide? As their minds raced, trying to find an answer, they saw the figure turn around in the dissipating dust, looking towards them. The jade-like protective visor showed no expression, but everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. This pressure was much greater than what Wilhelm had given them, as the person who had previously exerted pressure on them was now divided into four unequal parts. Lenoir suppressed the urge to retreat, stood his ground, and then loudly said, "Send a telegram to the rear, have the airship ascend, and block the passage, gather all combat personnel here!" Being far from the entrance of the Convergence Zone, where signal transmission was difficult, the usual form of telegram was hard to send to the rear, mainly relying on airships for communication. So now, he needed the airship to ascend to report the situation here. Besides reporting, the most important task the camp undertook was to serve as a support point and rear for the frontline personnel. Only with this place could the frontline personnel receive continuous support and bring back the relics they captured. Therefore, the camp must not be lost, no matter how strong the enemy, they must hold on. Fortunately, he still had a trump card. He looked in a direction, towards a slightly elevated platform in the middle of the dumbbell-shaped camp, where metal plates were slowly moving apart under electric power, revealing a creature half-human, half-scorpion, with a sturdy dark brown carapace, crawling out from beneath. This was a combat creature placed here by the Union to defend the camp, named "Tax', a monster from the ancient Rhine region. Standing about four meters tall, it had no obvious head, but two long, massive pincers were very noticeable, clearly indicating great lethality, with a series of short, sharp appendages along its back and ribs, the hooks gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen. Despite its large size, it moved silently and not slowly, instinctively using buildings and shadows for cover as it quickly crawled towards Chen Chuan. Lenoir wiped the cold sweat from his head with a cloth and swallowed a drug, comforting himself in his heart that Tax, with its strong biological defense, robust limbs, and powerful strength, should be able to hold off this unknown Da Shun Martial Artist. After killing Wilhelm, Chen Chuan glanced at the gun core on the ground, intending to complete his task first and then come back to clean up. Then he heard the sound of propeller blades and looked over to see an airship slowly ascending in the distance. He looked away, not bothering with it, as the life forms inside the airship were very weak, clearly not Martial Artists. The key to the camp lay with those Martial Artists; as long as they were eliminated, no matter how well the camp was built, it would be useless, even the local creatures might not hold. As for the airship going back to report, he didn't care; airships came and went every day here, the news couldn't be hidden anyway, at most delayed by a day or half. And later, as long as this camp and all its supplies were burned down, and the port tower was toppled, this place would lose its function as a rear support. Rebuilding wouldn't be a matter of a day or two. And he was sure that the main combat personnel of the Union and Linax Federation had already entered the Convergence Zone. Even if there were still some left in the rear, they were only responsible for security and couldn't be easily mobilized anymore. Even if they knew the news, they couldn't do much. So he just walked forward, heading towards a certain direction in the camp, but not long after, his gaze shifted towards a shadowy area. Although Tax moved almost silently, it was clearly an anomaly on his Boundary Token. In fact, even without the Boundary Token, any biological entity, unless of a very high level, entering his Spirit range couldn't go unnoticed. Tax was also extremely sharp; upon seeing Chen Chuan looking over, it immediately stopped hiding, crashing through the building blocking its path with a loud noise, emerging into the open space ahead, letting out a sharp screech, slowly lowering its body, its two long pincers spreading out, vaguely enclosing both sides. Lenoir watched the scene nervously through the energy field monitor. As a bio-weapon, Tax had an extremely tough body, integrated with a large amount of mutated tissue, its defense was astonishing, its outer shell strong enough to withstand the slashes of ordinary mutated weapons. Moreover, using a new experimental technology, even if its limbs and parts were destroyed, it could quickly self-repair and regenerate. He didn't expect it to defeat this Martial Artist, but he thought it could hold off for a while. Chen Chuan stood still, then suddenly appeared in front of Tax, clenched his fist, a circle of air exploded above, and then he punched the creature's body. However, this punch didn't cause much commotion, as if the strength had vanished upon impact. Tax's two flickering eyes looked down at him, and he met the gaze, standing under the shadow of the creature's body, yet his expression was extremely calm. Just as the onlookers Lenoir and others thought the punch had been blocked by Tax, before they could feel any joy, they saw Tax's massive body slowly tipping to one side, crashing down with a loud noise, raising a large cloud of dust. It could be seen that there were five concave areas on its body, as if the tissues there had been smashed to a pulp. The expressions of Lenoir and others froze. Chen Chuan glanced over; with the help of the energy field and Spirit's perception, he had seen that this creature's body was very tough, but there were several areas of dense anomaly inside, possibly key parts. He instinctively felt that as long as these parts were destroyed, even if the creature could continue fighting, its combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. And with this punch, his internal energy directly destroyed these parts, unexpectedly causing the creature to collapse after losing these tissues. Lenoir once again broke out in a cold sweat, tremblingly wiping his bald head with a cloth, he shouted into the Boundary Token, "All personnel concentrate, emergency teams evacuate the camp..." But before he could finish, he felt a static noise from the Boundary Token, obviously the communication had been cut off, and not just him, everyone present's Boundary Token had this issue, even the energy field screen only showed light, nothing else could be seen. His face turned pale, knowing what had happened. The camp's information Field Entity had been destroyed. At the center of the camp, Chen Chuan stood on a metal plate that had been sliced open, slowly sheathing the Snow Emperor Blade. Through the cracks in the underground space ahead, a Field Entity could be seen lying dead, a large amount of tissue fluid flowing out. With the death of this Field Entity, the camp's communication naturally couldn't be maintained, thus everyone in the camp lost unified command and contact. Now, all that was left was to find and eliminate all those in the camp who still had combat capability. According to Hong Fu's display, he found that these people were all gathering in one place, preparing to concentrate their strength to resist? Although not wise, it was consistent with the behavior logic of this group in the camp, whose first priority was to preserve the camp, so apart from concentrating their strength to resist him, there was no other way. This situation actually saved him a lot of trouble. He didn't know if the camp had any way to recall those who had entered the depths of the unknown area, but if they really did, that would be something he very much wanted to see. He deliberately waited for a while, until those people were almost all there, then adjusted his hat and walked unhurriedly towards the location where the crowd was. In the monitoring area of the camp, although all the remaining armed personnel with combat capability in the camp had gathered here, everyone was uneasy. After all, they were about to face someone who had almost instantly killed Wilhelm. If not for the fact that the other's performance wasn't at a higher level, they would have almost thought a Martial Artist had stormed into the camp. Lenoir nervously watched the outer door, with the loss of monitoring, it was hard for them to observe outside, only relying on the lookout outside. At this moment, a bang was heard from afar, he looked over, only to see the lookout fall down. Immediately after, a staff member not far in front of him also fell to the ground with a thud, and this seemed to trigger some kind of switch, as one by one, the technical personnel in the hall fell down. From the distance between the fallen personnel, it was clear that the enemy was approaching step by step, getting closer and closer, pushing the oppressive feeling in their hearts to the extreme. After waiting in this oppressive atmosphere for a while, with a loud bang, the metal door was pushed down by a huge force, and as the light from outside poured in, a figure holding a sword stood there, silhouetted against the sky.
