Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 183: Boundary

The car drove out of Quanzhou District in the south of the city and entered Xigang District after forty-five minutes. Because of the many old factory areas, this area has become a base for many gangs and a place for trading contraband.

The vehicle drove over the bumpy road. Chen Chuan looked at the abandoned factory buildings outside. He remembered that he had come here with Wei Chang'an once to capture Tong Qianjiang , but for various reasons, they failed to catch him. It wasn't until later that they solved the group at the sentry post outside Caijia Village.

At this moment, the car bumped again, seemingly because there was a pothole on the road just now, but there was a rustling noise from the box beside him.

Chen Chuan reached out and patted it, and the noise quickly disappeared.

After driving for a while, the driver slowly reduced the speed and said from the seat, "Mr. Chen, the one in front is the Li'an Old Factory, but it seems the road is blocked by roadblocks."

Chen Chuan looked ahead and saw two sections of concrete roadblocks. The factory building could already be seen in the back. He said, "It's only a few steps away. I'll get out of the car here."

He opened the car door, took the Snow Emperor Blade and walked out. The driver also got out of the car and helped him take out the box from the other side.

He looked at his watch. It was 3:45, fifteen minutes before the agreed time.

The driver walked over and placed the box in front of him. Chen Chuan said thank you, then picked up the box, held the Snow Emperor Blade, and walked in that direction.

As he walked along the road, he could see sparse woods on both sides, as well as simple, old roadside benches. The road under his feet was also uneven, full of branches and gravel.

Three years ago, Shen Zheng probably walked this road too, right?

And today, he has also come here.

However, they are not the same.

He looked ahead and strode forward steadily and powerfully, each step crushing the dead leaves under his feet, making a clear crushing sound, gradually approaching the dark factory building.

At about the same time, on the National Highway east of the city, a black extended car was heading towards Yangzhi City. Judging from the direction of the car, it was clearly coming from Central City.

A man in his thirties with embedded lines on half of his face was sitting in the back seat. The car's tape recorder was playing soothing music. He took out a bottle, poured half a glass of orange juice, and slowly tasted it.

As a martial artist , he was strictly self-disciplined, not drinking or smoking. However, Central City's technology could already make drinks taste like high-end wines, so he could savor the flavor.

Just then, the car's speed slowly decreased.

He felt something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

The driver replied, "Mr. Chi, ahead..."

Mr. Chi looked over and saw a burly figure standing in the middle of the wide road, his lion's mane-like hair flying in the wind.

He looked at it for a few moments and said to himself, "It seems I won't be able to arrive before four o'clock." He put down the glass, pushed open the door, got out of the car, stretched his joints, and walked leisurely towards the figure in front.

On the other side, Chen Chuan had arrived in front of the factory building. Here, he could see many luxury cars parked outside, many with their headlights still on. Some private security personnel were standing outside. At this moment, a butler-like person came up to him, smiling obsequiously, "Are you Mr. Chen?"

Chen Chuan said, "I am."

"Please follow me."

The butler gestured, and two security personnel slowly raised a wide rolling gate in front of the factory building, immediately revealing the bright light inside, gathered by many industrial and mining lamps. There were also two spotlights on the left and right, the long beams of light deliberately shining from inside to outside, seemingly deliberately showing something.

Chen Chuan stood in front of the high, wide door with his knife in hand. Behind him was the dark, deep night, and in front of him was the glaring light, as if this door divided two different worlds.

The butler reached out to invite him, "Mr. Chen, please."

Chen Chuan tightened his grip on the Snow Emperor Blade and walked inside. After about seven or eight steps, the rolling gate behind him slowly lowered again, and finally clicked into place on the ground.

He ignored it and looked around. The interior space of this factory building was very large. About three or four meters high on all sides were steel structure platforms built with metal plates and supports. There were metal stairs below, and passages were left in the middle.

At this moment, people were walking back and forth on it, making clanging sounds. Spotlights were also placed at the passage corners and square pillar positions, and when they were turned on with a bang, more than a dozen light sources shone down on him from all directions.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, then placed the box in his hand on the ground, and then walked forward with the Snow Emperor Blade until he was under a platform. He could see members of the Mutual Aid Society standing on it.

The reason he could recognize them at a glance was because they were all wearing Mutual Aid Society-customized clothing, with gold threads and the Mutual Aid Society emblem of two hands holding each other, somewhat similar to the Academy's formal attire, but more luxurious.

There were about five or six people standing on the platform in front, and whispers were coming from the farther distances on both sides. In addition, he could hear many breathing sounds on the platforms and passages in other parts of the factory building, at least dozens, perhaps more. He guessed they were security guards and attendants.

This was normal. Without a certain degree of security, these people would probably not dare to appear in front of him at all.

Just like now, these people were standing high up, seemingly to show their strength and status, probably also because they were afraid, so they deliberately kept their distance from him.

With a few clangs, Wei Jun walked to the front of the metal railing. He raised one hand and slapped it, then looked down, "Junior Chen Chuan , you're very punctual."

Chen Chuan said, "I never like to be late, so I don't do that to others either."

Wei Jun said oh, nodded, and evaluated, "That's a good habit. No need to waste each other's time. Now that you're here, let's have a good talk first."

With Chen Chuan arriving here, his mood wasn't as urgent as before. For tonight, they had made many arrangements, with their men inside and out.

And in all parts of Yangzhi City, the strength of various companies and families had also been mobilized long ago, keeping an eye on the forces in various parts of Yangzhi City that might be involved in this matter. It could be said that any disturbance would be

However, so far, no movement had been seen. In this situation, Chen Chuan came alone to the appointment and entered here, then this matter was actually stable.

"Junior Chen, we didn't necessarily need to get to this point today. I know what you want, but do you really think this road is so easy to walk?"

He reached out and placed it on the steel pipe of the railing, walking to the side while talking, his fingers tapping on it.

"I know you got the Foreign Affairs Bureau Evaluation, and the next step must be to take the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit exam. The goal is to get the quota to go to Central City, but no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to get this quota. Do you know why?"

Seeming to feel that he already had victory in his grasp, Wei Jun seemed very relaxed, but with a hint of unspeakable agitation in his relaxation.

"By the way, you should have heard of Shen Zheng , right?" He suddenly turned around to look at Chen Chuan , then nodded and said, "It seems you've heard of him, and you should have heard of him."

"He fell on the way to this road. Do you know what his mistake was?"

"That is, he overstepped the boundary!"

When Wei Jun said this, he pointed down hard with his finger, seemingly emphasizing something, "He didn't follow the rules he should have followed, he overstepped the boundary he shouldn't have overstepped, which led to his end!"

He suddenly turned around, pressing both hands on the metal railing with a bang, causing the surroundings to vibrate, and dust fell down. He stared at Chen Chuan standing below, "Now you are also going in this direction, it's very dangerous, really dangerous."

He slowed down his tone slightly, "Actually, you don't have to be like this. As long as you go back, abide by the rules, and do things according to the rules, we can live in peace, you know? If you continue, then what you will face is not us, Mutual Aid Society? Heh, no..."

Saying this, he slowly raised his hands high, "But the high dam erected by the numerous upper forces in Yangzhi."

Chen Chuan stood below looking up. He knew what it meant. This world has clear hierarchies. Central City is at the very center, followed by outer cities like Yangzhi City, then villages and towns, and then the wilderness...

Each place is an independent circle, with its own different ways of survival. It seems that they can completely not interfere with each other, and there is also a huge gap between them.

The passage to cross this step is very narrow, and only a few people can pass through. Those who are qualified to pass will try to suppress anyone who tries to compete with them for this passage.

As long as you don't fantasize about going to a higher step, don't think about breaking the boundary, and stay honestly in your own position, then there will be nothing.

But once you try to break the boundary of that rule, you will be met with various suppressions.

"We are willing to have a good talk with you, that is also because we don't want to go to that step." Wei Jun's voice came down from above again.

"Junior Jiang has invited you to join the Mutual Aid Society twice," he spread his hands, gesturing to Jiang Wei standing to the side, "Now I can invite you again.

Those tedious conditions can be ignored, and we don't ask you to do anything. The treaties and agreements are for those mediocre people, you don't need them. We can give you funding, as long as you don't cross that boundary."

Chen Chuan just smiled at this. He clearly knew that the so-called conditions were just compromises that had to be made because they saw his strength, and what they wanted was to temporarily stabilize him.

Once he agreed and put down the knife in his hand, they would have plenty of ways to slowly disintegrate and divide his supporters, and then calmly mobilize their strength to target him.

If he was obedient, then he would become a Mutual Aid Society thug to deal with those who tried to cross the boundary in the future. If he was disobedient, then

then the end would be the same as Shen Zheng .

"Since this senior asked, then I can give you a clear answer now."

Chen Chuan said slowly, "I will continue on this road, and I will continue to walk it. As for the so-called obstacles on the road..." He raised his head, looked at Wei Jun above, and those Mutual Aid Society members, his eyes like blades, "Just eliminate them all."
