Airships are not limited by terrain and only need to travel in a straight line, making their speed much faster than off-road vehicles. Of course, they still land to rest at night because the anomalous conditions in the Convergence Zone at night cannot be avoided from the sky.

But even so, it only took them two days to return to No. 4 Fortress Base.

As soon as the airship was steady, Commander Lai came up with soldiers and said to Chen Chuan: "Captain Chen, I am ordered to take over Fei Tong. This person will be handed over to me."

Chen Chuan signaled and had Yuan Qiu Yuan bring the person out from behind and hand him over to Lai Wu. Yuan Qiu Yuan said as he handed him over, "Take good care of him. We finally caught him and sent him here, so don't let him die."

Lai Wu was expressionless and had the Martial Artist behind him take the still seriously injured Fei Tong away.

Chen Chuan led his team down and, after giving a few instructions, disbanded them on the spot. The team members saluted him and went to the Base's recreational area in groups of twos and threes to relax and drink.

Chen Chuan went to the operations room alone, met the operations staff officer Ding Mou who was waiting there, and handed over a report he had written on the way.

Ding Mou already understood the situation from the Telegram, so after taking it, he glanced at it roughly and put it aside. He said, "Captain Chen, you completed the mission quickly and in a very timely manner, averting a large number of potential casualties and losses. The key is that you also caught the traitor. I thank you on behalf of the Base."

Chen Chuan said, "It's my duty." After a pause, he added, "Has the Base confirmed that Fei Tong is the traitor?"

"Not just him, but we can confirm that he was one of the participants at the time."

Chen Chuan nodded.

After handing in the mission and report and going through the procedures, he left the operations room. At this time, a message came from Councilor Pei, informing him that because it was almost the end of the year, his Special drugs would be issued in the next few days, and he should wait a moment.

He knew that it shouldn't be this fast according to the rules, so someone from Councilor Pei's faction must have exerted some effort behind the scenes, so he sent a message to thank him.

After returning to his dormitory, he rested for two consecutive days. On the 21st, Councilor Pei contacted him and said that he had brought the Drugs and asked him to come to the conference room.

Chen Chuan arrived at the conference room where he had met the previous two times. Councilor Pei shook hands with him, invited him to sit down, personally made him a cup of tea, and sat on the sofa opposite him.

"After this mission, the Base will not arrange any missions for Captain Chen's team before and after the New Year. Captain Chen can return to Central City. After arriving there, Captain Chen's main task is to contact Chen Bitong.

Since he invited you to his training and guidance class, don't miss this opportunity and try to build a good relationship with him."

Chen Chuan said, "How are my team members going to be arranged?"

Councilor Pei said, "After the New Year, if they want to participate in missions, I will find a way to arrange them. When you return to the team, they will still be your teammates. If they are unwilling, they can also be on standby temporarily, but these are based on Captain Chen's opinion. You can bring up any ideas you have."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "This arrangement is fine."

Councilor Pei picked up the metal box next to his feet and placed it on the table. "Captain Chen can distribute these Special drugs himself. Oh, right, there is also something sent to you. Remember to check it after you go back."

Chen Chuan said, "What is it?"

Councilor Pei smiled.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Chuan didn't ask further. After drinking a few cups of tea here and chatting about some things about the Base, he left with the Special drugs.

After Chen Chuan left, Councilor Pei's expression became serious. He returned to his room, took out a key to open the cabinet, took out a Radio with a special number, and began to send a message.

"Executive Officer Chen will return before the end of the year to approach the target. Time: December 21st, 2:10 PM. Sender: Wasp."

Chen Chuan returned to his dormitory, called two team members over, and distributed the Special drugs and bonuses he received. As for the other team members, the bonuses were distributed by the Base.

After receiving the Drugs, Yuan Qiu Yuan said happily, "I knew it was good to follow Captain. I haven't heard of Drugs being distributed so readily elsewhere."

Qin Qing Que nodded seriously. As someone from the military, she knew that Special drugs were rarely distributed so promptly.

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "It's the end of the year, and the higher-ups are showing their concern for our difficulties. Besides this, I called you two here to talk about one more thing."

He paused slightly, "After the New Year, I may have to stay in Central City for a while, which may have some influence on participating in Base missions. How would you like to be arranged?"

Yuan Qiu Yuan said without hesitation, "Captain, I said long ago that I don't recognize anyone but you."

Qin Qing Que also said seriously, "Captain, we are your team members. We will wait for you to come back."

They were all very clear that following the right person made a big difference. Chen Chuan had only led them twice, but each time he was at the forefront, and he was outstanding in his abilities, fair in his dealings, and very caring for his team members.

Where could they find such a Captain?

Although they hadn't been here for long, they knew something about the situation. Some Captains used their team members to death and then tried to suppress Drug quotas in every possible way, simply not treating their team members as human beings. With these comparisons, being able to follow Chen Chuan was simply a blessing, and they would never go to other teams.

Chen Chuan looked at them and saw that both of them were very determined, so he said, "Since you said so, then it's settled. When I come back, we will continue the mission."

Yuan Qiu Yuan and Qin Qing Que stood up together and saluted him.

"Yes, Captain."

After Chen Chuan took care of the matters within the Base, he boarded the train the next day with his team members seeing him off, and returned to Central City from the Convergence Zone.

Because he was an Executive Captain, he could sit in a private compartment even without Councilor Pei accompanying him, and there was a flight attendant to serve him. He could ask for anything he needed.

No wonder many people try every means to get promoted. The treatment is indeed different.

After the train left the Base, it traveled for a day and entered the tunnel back to Central City. However, this time, they saw another train passing through the tunnel junction, heading in the other direction.

He noticed at a glance that there were many people inside, seemingly an Armed Forces, as well as some well-dressed people in foreign-style formal wear.

It seemed to be people from the Company. He didn't know where they were going.

The two trains headed in different directions, quickly passing each other.

Not long after, the train entered the platform and slowly stopped.

He carried his suitcase and walked down. When passing through the security checkpoint, the Boundary Token made a sound, and then a female voice rang in his ear:

"Detecting personnel returning from the Convergence Zone.

Name: Chen Chuan.

Identity: Executive Captain.

Activation Index: Zero.

This person is allowed to pass."

That voice became a little more humanized at this time: "Welcome back, Captain Chen."

Chen Chuan straightened his wide-brimmed hat, tidied up his clothes slightly, and walked out of the checkpoint, walking up the passage.

He had come down from here last time, but he learned that, in fact, the stations in Central City have some special passages that are not usually open and lead to the Convergence Zone. There are people on duty there 24 hours a day, and under Yi Mu's energy field monitoring, only personnel who have been to the Convergence Zone are allowed to pass.

This is actually to allow combat personnel scattered throughout Central City to return to the Convergence Zone faster to participate in the defense in case of emergency.

He came to the parking plaza. The various noises of Central City and the advertisements on the giant screen poured into his senses, but this scene inexplicably relaxed him a lot.

In the Convergence Zone, entry and exit are military areas, and at night, you can only try not to move around. Even staying in the fortress is dangerous. The whole atmosphere does not allow people to truly let down their guard.

However, as the two worlds get closer and closer and the Convergence Zone becomes larger and larger, I don't know where this place in front of me and that place will eventually go.

After finding the Jiade car, he reached out and pulled the car door open, sat in, and while starting the engine, sent a voice message to acquaintances, telling them that he had returned from the mission.

This time, he didn't go directly back to the Mysterious Palace Tower, but first went to the mansion given to him by the Company, preparing to put back the spoils and souvenirs he brought back this time.

When driving into the mansion, a mansion maintenance worker informed him that something had been sent here two days ago and had been placed in the garage.

Chen Chuan thought about it, remembering that Councilor Pei had said that he would send him something. Could this be it? He was a little curious about what it would be.

After driving into the garage, he saw a large wooden box placed there at a glance, about two meters long and wide.

He parked the car steadily, got out of the car, came to the wooden box, pulled out the fixed wooden bolts, and the box fell to the ground on all sides. As dust rose, he saw an object covered with a dust-proof cloth inside. He reached out and lifted the cloth, and found that it was a suit of Iron Demon's Armor presented in a sitting position.

He recognized it at a glance.

The entire armor was supported by a movable human model, with an iron Mask, helmet, shoulder armor, body armor, arm guards, belt, skirt armor, greaves, hip bindings, leather boots, and so on. It could be seen that it had been carefully repaired. Not only were the armor plates bright, but there was also a robe draped over the outside.

He noticed that the entire iron armor was sitting there, with one hand raised to the side in a gripping position, but it was now empty, and what was missing was undoubtedly the Spear.

Very good, they knew he liked collecting weapons, so they sent a whole set of "weapon racks" over.

It could be considered making dumplings for this bit of vinegar.

But he liked this gift very much.

This thing couldn't be placed here, but had to be placed in the weapon collection room, so he took it with one hand, holding the support frame below, and left the garage, walking into the house.
