Chapter 232 Time Front
"Of course... joint research is a good thing for both worlds. However, I hope your progress can be a little faster, since the state of emergency can't be maintained indefinitely." Hanston paused, "Unless—"

"Excuse me, I'd like to interrupt." Someone suddenly chimed in.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Kanong looked at the man.

The other person approached Xiao Canon and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then he whispered something to General Hans.

Chen Xuan immediately sensed something was wrong. "Who is that person? Do you know him?"

“We found him. He also appeared at the recruitment fair of the Weixian Agency. His name is Wang Qianduan,” Lin Qing replied.

"Have you recruited new people?"

"No, it should be someone transferred from within the organization. There is no such person in the newly formed execution team."

Just then, Hans frowned and beckoned outside, "Come in, all of you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a squad of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the council chamber from the corridor, instantly blocking the only entrance and exit!
"Mr. Xiao said there's something hidden here. Search the place thoroughly, don't miss a single fly," Hans ordered expressionlessly.

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan was startled; Lin Qing had clearly been exposed.

Despite his surprise, he remained calm. "Go under the table on the podium!"

Lin Qing acted immediately, rolling silently from the center of the podium to under the table. Chen Xuan immediately took out the barcode scanner and selected the customer recall function.

The next second, Lin Qing's vision instantly returned to the main store.

Chen Xuan closed his notebook, deciding not to stay any longer. Once he left the room, the branch would be completely closed, becoming a secret room that no one could pry into.

Liu Shuyue was still in the main store. She was a little surprised to see Lin Qing suddenly appear. "What happened? Did something happen over there?"

The recall can only be used once a day, so this trump card will not be used unless absolutely necessary.

"Yeah, we got caught." Lin Qing scratched her head, somewhat confused. "The stealth system was still working."

“He discovered you using his abilities.” Chen Xuan stepped out of the elevator. “Since it’s an ability, he probably didn’t even need to see you.”

"Optical distortion, infrared sensing, acoustic suppression, radar wave absorption..." Lin Qing listed her invisibility effects, "What other detection methods are there besides these?"

"I don't know. Maybe he can 'see' things that ordinary people can't perceive." Chen Xuan shrugged. "Fortunately, we have countermeasures, so we weren't caught red-handed. We'll have to be careful of this guy named Wang Qianduan in the future."

"Hmm..." Lin Qing nodded gently.

She knew that it would be difficult to overthrow the Limits Agency's rule on her own, but with the addition of this person, the balance of power would shift. Even if they still couldn't directly confront the Agency, at least it gave her hope.

"Speaking of which, how did Chaucanon get in touch with the general of the new Paris?" More than the ability to detect things, Chen Xuan was more concerned about the sudden appearance of the mechanism in the Louvre. "The news didn't mention anything about the other group of migrants."

Cameras are installed everywhere on the ground, and anyone who approaches the city will be immediately detected by the residents of the underground city. Any uninvited guest from outside the Paris region is called a migrant; Chen Xuan had seen his own news on television before.

"I've been thinking about it, and there's something you might have overlooked," Liu Shuyue suddenly said. "You, me, Elori... we were initially thrown out by the intrusion point, weren't we?"

"correct."

"Once the eroded area stabilizes, will it be very far from Paris? For example... appearing in another human survival site?"

"Hmm..." Chen Xuan thought for a moment and realized that he couldn't rule out this possibility. When the Chief Executive said that they couldn't contact other continents, he meant that they couldn't find a super bunker city like New Paris for the time being. It didn't mean that they were the only survivors of this catastrophe. Otherwise, there would be no need to build any temporary shelters in the city.

It is certain that there are other human survivors in France or the European continent. Even if these people were unable to hide underground, they would not all have turned into insect monsters.

If the first survivors found by the Security Agency were from outside Paris, then naturally they wouldn't attract the attention of the Second New Paris City. "I think Liu Shuyue is right," Lin Qing sighed, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Just because we don't know something doesn't mean General Hans doesn't know. It seems they've clearly reached some kind of cooperation agreement. Accepting preparations… the relocation work… what exactly do they want to relocate!"

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. "Could it be a population relocation?"

What is the most lacking element in dungeons?
It's just living space!

Now that the authorities control the eroded area, and this is a stable world, it is indeed possible to use the place of residence as a very attractive bargaining chip.

Lin Qing thought about it and agreed it was quite possible. "Where do you think they'll be moved to?"

“They definitely won’t stay in Jiangcheng,” Chen Xuan replied. “The world is so big, it would be best to go somewhere where there’s not much oversight. Of course, sending them to Paris isn’t out of the question either. With the resources and capabilities of the authorities, it shouldn’t be difficult to resettle tens of thousands more people.”

“If that’s the case, we must stop this deal,” Lin Qing said gravely. “What the organization lacks most is manpower, and what it wants most is technology, and New Paris City can provide both.”

Such in-depth cooperation has clearly had a crucial impact on the rapid growth of the Weixian organization.

"It seems we have no choice but to go to Elori's place."

Chen Xuan never expected that the opportunity to break the deal would be proposed by the angel.

Lin Qing quickly guessed his thoughts: "To stop the decline of the Angel Alliance and thus change the future?"

“Whether the Angel Alliance can continue is not important. The key is that, according to Elori, the attack from the moon will only occur after this temple treasury is destroyed,” Chen Xuan said. “If there are no attacks around the world, then they will not need to move underground, which is equivalent to removing the biggest bargaining chip of the Limitation Agency.”

As for the other side, intervening is obviously much more difficult. Now that General Hans has already made contact with the organization and knows that he will soon have a stable living space, this temptation cannot be dispelled by eliminating a few key people.

"That makes sense," Lin Qing said, standing up. "Let's get going!"

……

The setup for this operation remained 2+1. Chen Xuan entrusted the main store to Liu Shuyue to ensure that all functions of the store were activated, while he and Lin Qing would take over and steal the key artifacts from the secret treasure vault in advance.

Elori's room was empty, which was normal; the angels were probably making final preparations for the plan.

By evening, she had finally returned to her residence.

Upon seeing Chen Xuan, she immediately took out a card from her pocket and solemnly handed it over.

The latter took it with some confusion and found it was a bank card. "What's this?"

“I’ve mortgaged the house,” she said earnestly. “This account contains all my savings; please use it as operating funds.”

Uh… Chen Xuan paused for a moment, “How much did you borrow?”

“I took out a 10 euro loan on the house, plus my angel salary and living allowance, it’s about 15 euros,” Elori answered honestly.

For ordinary people, this is no small sum of money. But she is an angel, a superhuman in this world, and her entire net worth is only 15 euros, which is quite pitiful.

Chen Xuan felt a little sorry for her.

However, despite their sympathy, they still had to accept the money, since the two currencies were not interchangeable, and they no longer had time to slowly save up.

He first checked the bedroom door and was relieved to find the passageway still open. It seemed that mortgaging the house wouldn't interrupt the VIP room connection; perhaps it would only be lost when the debt repayment failed and the bank forcibly auctioned the house.

"It's up to you." Chen Xuan tossed the card to Lin Qing. "Buy three plane tickets to the East first."

It is May 30th, and there is still a day and a half before the demon attack.
