Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 497: Battle in the Confusing Village!

“But it’s a pity. They still managed to run back.”

Meng Chao frowned and stared at the building where the Deification Capsule pharmacy was.

It looked like a fortress made of metal. It was around eighty meters tall and uneven. It was the standard product of stereotypical Earthlings used to fend off zombies and monsters. Just like other apartment buildings, it had been turned into a war fortress.

And decades later, just like most other buildings, it had been massively expanded, modified, and repeatedly fortified until it blended together with the buildings around it.

Then, the villagers dug underground and opened up a large shelter. It was as complicated as an ant or hornet nest and led to all directions.

All the windows of the building were sealed shut by bricks and steel plates. Only small embrasures were left open.

Not that most of the apartments had any use for windows, since only the apartments at the outermost part of the building could get ventilation from the world outside. At least three quarters of the apartments were squashed in the middle and had no use for windows. They got their ventilation from the shafts and ventilation pipes that connected them to the outside.

Thus, it was easy to imagine just how difficult it would be to capture and destroy zombies, monsters, undead, robbers who took Deification Capsules, wanted criminals who lost their original personalities, and Vortex when they decided to hide here.

At that moment, many of the veteran hunters and the powerful fighters from the lair’s clubs were in offensive positions.

When they personally saw just how huge and complicated the building was, they reacted just as Meng Chao. They sucked in sharp breaths.

“Is there a possibility for us to just blow the building up?”

Multi-armed Bear Hong Li represented everyone and gave a simple and crude suggestion.

Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong thought about it for a while before he shook his head and denied this tempting offer. “It’s impossible.With our strength, we could demolish this building if we release our strongest destructive spirit energy magnetic fields.

“But there will be a long span of time between us releasing our first attack to the point the place is completely demolished.

“This place was built soon after Dragon City’s transmigration, and it’s very sturdy. At that time, Earthlings had to face a mysterious world filled with zombies and monsters. No one knew how long they would have to stay inside, so they treated the buildings they stay in as their final safe haven and turned their homes into fortresses.

“Aside from the reinforced concrete on the surface, the internal structure is also made of frames and supported by a lot of steel girders. Even if the building collapsed, we would only see semi-detached, broken walls.

“With Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang and the others’ survival skills, making the building collapse would not kill them. Instead, the dust from the building’s collapse would turn into their best cover. They could easily flee during the chaos.

“We’re not perpetual motion machines either. We only have a limited amount of spirit energy. If we pretend to be heavy artillery and attack without moderation, we will drain ourselves of spirit energy and will need a long time to cool down and recover. It’ll be child’s play for the enemies hiding in the dark to ambush us.

“Besides, the underground space of this sort of building might be larger than the space aboveground. Even if we level the building to the ground, our targets might flee underground with all the Deification Capsules. At that time, the entrance to the underground will be blocked by debris, and it’ll increase the difficulty of our hunt.

“And finally, we still need to consider that not everyone in this huge building is a robber or a criminal. There might be innocent villagers living here.

“There is no space for trivial kindness on the battlefield, but if we take the initiative to deliver a brutal attack while we know that there are a lot of innocent villagers in there, then how are the surviving villagers going to view us? After all, we’re uninvited guests.

“These villagers are a very unique existence among the few ten million citizens in Dragon City. You can say that while Dragon City is developing at a rapid pace and everyone can see hope, they’re the handful who have not seen hope yet.

“They have always been wary and averse to the outside world, so it’s easy for the monster civilization to tempt and use them. We can’t give the monster civilization an excuse to brainwash them. Otherwise, even if the Deification Capsule pharmacy is completely destroyed, a new problem will arise!”

There was a reason why Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong was elected as the captain of the hunting squad.

He had instantly analyzed the pros and cons of the situation, and in the end decided that they would enter the building and engage in the most brutal urban warfare inside.

Many of the veteran hunters rushed into the building from all directions.

Fierce gunshots came at them from more than ten windows above them.

Unfortunately, normal bullets from normal guns could not shatter the spirit energy shield created by Heaven Realm superhumans. They could not even help the superhumans scratch their itch.

And the result of the men exposing their firing points was that they were all gunned down by Bullet Xue Rui, other snipers, and Gun Fighting Style martial artists. These superhumans occupied high spots and used anti-material sniper rifles and bullets embedded with crystals and had runic symbols carved into them.

Bang!

Bang, bang!

Xue Rui and the other snipers did not fire rapidly, but every bullet was surrounded by spirit energy and became a howling shooting star that seemed to have eyes They shot inside the fist-sized embrasures and released deafening explosions inside.

As colorful flames gushed out of the embrasures, soon, the ten or so firing points became completely silent.

Meng Chao and the other hunters used the chance to rush into the building through different entrances.

Fierce fighters like Multi-armed Bear Hong Li did not even need entrances. With one punch, he blew a giant hole that had a diameter of more than two meters in the wall made of reinforced concrete and jumped in.

Meng Chao went into the building through the exit that Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang and the rest had used moments ago.

At the moment he entered, he lowered his body and placed his hands and knees on the floor like an iguana. He used the fluctuations of his abs to slither swiftly over the floor.

Just as he expected, two strong gusts of wind whooshed above his head. They swept past him from his left and right simultaneously. There was a strong, foul stench in their wake.

Meng Chao did not look up. He used scorpion kick diagonally at the air with both legs. Two sharp blades shot out of his combat boots, and with a crack, he cut something.

Based on the texture from the clash, Meng Chao was certain that the blades were stuck in some sort of scale.

The rich experience of harvesting over ten thousand monsters had turned into instincts, and he was able to adjust the blades in his boots with extreme precision as well as use the spirit meridians in his legs to deliver two waves of spirit energy into the blades. It allowed the blades to become ten times brighter, and like burning knives cutting a butter cake, they sliced between the creatures’ scales.

Splash!

Blood gushed out from above Meng Chao’s head.

He ignored it and rolled to a corner before he got up and looked over. Two Steel King Pythons lay on the ground with their necks cut. Only a thin layer of flesh connected their heads to their bodies. The two creatures were spasming like they were dancing the Death Waltz.

Steel King Pythons had once given Meng Chao a whole load of trouble during the practical test of his national college examination.

At that time, he had to focus all his strength and wit to carefully come up with and set a trap to kill on Steel King Python.

Now, all he needed was a casual slash.

The appearance of the Steel King Pythons meant that the Deification Capsule pharmacy was indeed related to the monster civilization. It was highly likely that the mastermind was the Vortex from his previous life!

‘Vortex, let me see your true face!’

Meng Chao’s eyes burned brightly and lit up the dark corridor. They also illuminated the spiraling staircase hidden at the end of the corridor.

The sharp senses he gained after reaching Heaven Realm allowed him to hear rapid breathing and quite a few heartbeats in the apartments on either side of the corridor. He also heard the faint sounds of guns being cocked.

He could even form the outlines of figures behind the doors and walls based on the difference between body temperature and room temperature, accurately calculate when they would launch their attacks, and the methods they would use to do so.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and went into the crouching start for running. Then, he dashed forward at the maximum speed a four-star superhuman could achieve!

Whoosh!

His speed instantly surpassed the limits of the reaction speed of the enemies hidden in the apartments lining up the corridor.

The people inside did not even have the time to open the doors. They exploded from the ripples caused by Meng Chao’s spirit energy tearing the air.

The people inside were also too late to place their hands on the triggers and handles of their weapons. Meng Chao swung his arms and fired hundreds of harvesting blades into the dozens of apartments lining up the corridor.

The blades moved as if they had eyes. Hundreds of them cut into the tendons of the dozens of ambushers, causing them to fall on the floor limp, like puppets with their strings cut.

Meng Chao turned his head to look and saw faces full of despair, regret, or confusion.

Based on their appearances and clothes, they were all tempted by the Vortex into becoming robbers who had then fled into the lair over.

However, they were not the fiercest bunch.

While robbing their targets, they had taken Deification Capsules, and due to the side effects, their bodies were drained and they were incredibly weak now. It was either this or they were heavily injured when they fought against the secret police. In any case, they were no longer suited to take Deification Capsules.

Since they could not use Deification Capsules to increase their fighting strength, to the Vortex, they no longer had any value.

That was why it casually tossed them here as cannon fodder to stall for time. One could say that it was making good use of waste.

Meng Chao looked away.

He did not intend to waste even a second on such people.

He strode forward and arrived at the spiralling staircase. It was a staircase but also a shaft for ventilation. He could feel a cool breeze blowing down on his head.

When he looked up, all he saw was darkness. There were a few sparks that looked like the light from a monster’s eyes, and it seemed like it led straight to the top.

However, there were intersecting steel rods embedded in the center of the spiralling staircase. They formed metal fences that prevented superhumans from using their maglev ability to fly up.

Meng Chao knew with absolute certainty that there were a lot of anti-monster grenades and other explosives on the metal fences as well.

The mastermind wanted to use these things to make the superhumans who wanted to use brute force to charge up suffer a little.

But this was not a problem for Meng Chao.

He grinned, and dozens of harvesting blades appeared between his fingers.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

He flicked his fingers, and the dozens of blades turned into dozens of silver shooting stars that headed for the metal fences at the center of the spiraling staircase.
