Chapter 559: Kill On Sight?

Meng Chao thought about it and asked, “You didn’t send them outside to be treated?”

“We couldn’t,” Song Jinbo said. “The super crystal bomb explosion was extremely strong. They might have successfully escaped, but they were heavily injured. Many people’s spines were damaged, and many of them also lost more than 70% of blood. Quite a number of them showed symptoms of severe concussions and cerebral hemorrhages.

“If it weren’t for the astonishing constitution of Heaven Realm superhumans and they were normal people or even Earth Realm superhumans, they would have died a couple of times over.

“Such people couldn’t be transported rashly and go through any bumps. But we couldn’t delay their treatment either, so we raced against time to save them in the lair.

“Besides, it’s also impossible for us to transfer those who only have minor injuries. The lair has been fully locked down. When it comes to people and resources, you can only come in, not out.”

This was within Meng Chao’s expectations.

Nie Chenglong, the vice director of the abnormal beast research department, had told him that if the hunting squad failed, they would temporarily lock down the lair in an attempt to suppress the monster inside, because they were facing an unprecedented lack of fighting power and resources. It was impossible for them to mobilize a lot of fighting power to send into the lair before the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City came to an end.

If Meng Chao placed himself in the shoes of the highest ranked commander and found out that there were multiple monster hordes around Dragon City accompanied by a large number of Apocalyptic Beasts, he would do the same thing.

But what Meng Chao was concerned about was another thing. “Are the communications between the lair and the outside world smooth? Can you contact the commander outside?”

“They’re not very smooth. Ever since the super crystal bomb explosion, the spirit energy magnetic field within and outside the lair has become really chaotic and complex. Practically all communications suffer from interference or are blocked. We can only send people to the contact points between the lair and the outside world to communicate with them face to face.

“The problem is, we don’t really understand the situation inside the lair, especially the Leprosy Village. Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and Snake Eye Mo Lan’s brain cells and vitality magnetic fields have received huge impacts from the spirit energy tsunami, so they’re feeling a little confused. Aside from having a deep impression that you betrayed Dragon City and joined the monsters, they didn’t provide a lot of valuable information.

“The outside world is also in the dark about this, so they can’t carry out any effective operations. They can only provide a large amount of medical resources and other stuff for relief so that we can store them in our warehouses. It’s all to ensure the daily needs of the lair citizens and get through the most difficult days.”

“This means that you don’t lack medical resources and relief aid for the time being.” Meng Chao sighed in relief. His mind raced, and he suddenly noticed one thing. “Wait, the news of me betraying Dragon City and joining the monsters has already traveled outside?”

“Of course,” Song Jinbo said. “You faced multiple obstacles in this hunting operation. You were led around the nose by the abnormal beast right from the start. In the end, the explosion of the super crystal bomb destroyed most of the mobile forces from the government and the gangs, and they were the ones who ensured control of the lair.

“This is a bizarre scheme. It would have been impossible for the abnormal beast to succeed if there was no traitor working with it.

“Zhou Chong, Mo Lan, and Xiang Wei all ‘saw’ your true colors. This is an important piece of information, so they definitely sent it out at first notice.”

“Then?” Meng Chao asked. “What was the attitude of the outside world once the news traveled out? How are they going to deal with me?”

“They sent a kill on sight order,” Song Jinbo said. “Otherwise, how could I have possibly gone with Rattlesnake Xiang Wei and led a squad to kill you?”

Meng Chao frowned a little.

He felt that things were not that simple.

Even though Zhou Chong, Mo Lan, and Xiang Wei all “saw” him killing people and chatting with Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang, his motive for joining the monsters was just too weak.

He had been enjoying success in Dragon City with the memories from his previous life. Be it his cultivation realm, Superstar, or large organizations like the Broken Star Club and Blue Home, all of them had endless space for development.

It was not impossible for Superstar to become the tenth mega corporation and join the nine great mega corporations.

His current life was different from his previous life. After they won in the northern offense, Dragon City had been on the offense all the time. The might of human civilization was revealed, and things were going great for them.

Why was there a need for him to cast aside his bright future and join the monster civilization when it was about to die the moment it was born?

There was just no reason for it!

Hence, even if Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and Snake Eye Mo Lan gave vivid descriptions, the outside world should take their words with a grain of salt.

After all, Nie Chenglon was still in control of the overall situation outside and Meng Chao was deeply involved with the abnormal beast research department.

The department had also provided secret investments to and bought secret shares from Superstar.

Nie Chenglong also had plans to develop the Broken Star Club into the abnormal beast research department’s outside organization through Meng Chao. After all, the club had a few hundred thousand members.

They had a close, mutually beneficial relationship. It was the reason why the abnormal beast research department allocated a high-end apartment to him in their apartment complex for employees at a price that was basically them giving the apartment to him as a gift.

He was bound tightly to the abnormal beast research department, so how could Nie Chenglong have possibly released a kill on sight order without prior investigation?

After all, once Meng Chao died, his status as a traitor would be set in stone, and the reputation of the abnormal beast research department would definitely be affected since after the Noble Descent Hotel ambush, he and Lu Siya became the model superhuman and super newbie that the abnormal beast research department supported!

“Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and Snake Eye Mo Lan belong to the insurance companies under various mega corporations, so they are in no way connected to the abnormal beast research department. It’s impossible for Nie Chenglong to trust them unconditionally, much less rashly give the order to kill me on sight. The more logical order would be to subjugate me, and unless it’s absolutely necessary, to not kill me. Otherwise, I’d be unable to give my testimony.”

Meng Chao’s mind raced, and he asked gravely, “Manager Song, how do you know that the outside world gave the order to kill me on sight? Did you personally hear the commander outside say this?”

Song Jinbo was a little taken aback by this, then shook his head and said, “I didn’t. The wireless communications between the lair and the outside world were cut off a long time ago. It’s hard for the gangs to receive direct orders from the outside world, but it’s what Mr. Jin said.

“Mr. Jin was the one who gave the order to kill you on sight. He offered a high bounty and summoned all the gang members to ensure that we will definitely be able to kill you, so we acted based on our orders.”

Mr. Jin was Jin Wanhao.

He was the Saber, the gang leader of Golden Tooth, and the Underground Emperor of Dragon City.

It was said that he was one of the few people in the lair who could speak directly to the outside world in this chaotic situation.

“Manager Song, did you personally hear Saber Jin Wanhao say those things?”

“I didn’t. Our vice gang leader, Red Brows Su Lun, gave us Mr. Jin’s orders,” Song Jinbo replied. “I did hear from Su Lun personally, though, and I definitely saw Mr. Jin’s written order to kill you on sight.”

“Red Brows Su Lun...” Meng Chao said in a contemplative manner. “Then, why didn’t Saber Jin Wanhao personally come out and give you such an important order?

“I must say, Dragon City is currently in a pitched battle at its borders, which will decide its destiny, but trouble is brewing in the lair and Leprosy Village is in a mess.

“Even a blind man can see just how critical the situation is right now.

“But even after things have progressed to this state, Saber Jin Wanhao hasn’t come out to take control of the situation. Instead, he asked Red Brows Su Lun to send word. Don’t you find it strange?”

“It’s been like this for the past few years,” Song Jinbo said. “Vice Gang Leader Su has long since turned into Mr. Jin’s stand-in.”

Saber Jin Wanhao was the same as Battle God Lei Zongchao. They were both people who belonged to the earliest batch of Earth transmigrators who got into contact with spirit energy, cultivated their cells, and awakened to supernatural abilities.

In their era, there were no scientifically proven cultivation methods, no medicine that could nourish the cells and nurture the body, and they had to fight against enemies that numbered to hundreds of times their number. The environment was so horrible that the superhumans of the current day and age would have a hard time imagining it.

They fought day and night, and every day, they had more than one hundred wounds of varying sizes.

Later, they tried to imitate the Chinese myth of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs and used all sorts of monster materials that had yet to be processed to cultivate and treat their wounds.

It was common for them to go through spirit energy deviation.

They risked their lives every day and walked on a tightrope above hell. Even a God of War made of metal would be unable to withstand this.

Hence, most of the older generation elites had countless hidden injuries and were suppressing them with their cultivation realms.

The time they spent at the peak of their fighting strength was usually very short.

They were like shooting stars who risked everything for a moment. They drained their lives to shine brighter than anyone and light up the road ahead of Dragon City. Once that moment was over, though, they died fallen on the land.

This was the reason why Battle God Lei Zongchao, the strongest in Dragon City, had been in a state of semi-retirement after he set up the Survival Committee and did not take up any positions inside.

But the Battle God had a transcendent position. Since he was the publicly acknowledged savior, best citizen of the city, and the creator of the Survivor Committee, the nine great mega corporations brought out many resources to support him and maintain his glorious image of a master of his generation so that he could enjoy his late years.

But Saber Jin Wanhao was not as lucky as Battle God Lei Zongchao.

He might be the Underground Emperor, but he was old and covered in wounds. Yet he still needed to drag along his injury-laden body to fight against the wanted criminals, lost people, and all sorts of evil creatures who snuck into the lair.

“The gangs are naturally not as glorious and righteous as the mega corporations, but in truth, we also maintain the order in Dragon City,” Song Jinbo said. “We’re in charge of maintaining the region that is the most complicated, chaotic, and difficult to manage.

“The lost people who went through spirit energy deviation and became addicted to killing love entering the lair after they committed heinous crimes in the outside world. The world also speaks of the lair as the paradise for crimes and the hotbed of evil, making it sound like we welcome these evil wanted criminals.

“But honestly? The gangs are no different from other companies. Everyone is working for money, so no one likes these people who create chaos and destroy order.

“If they stay put after they run into the lair and keep to themselves, we might turn a blind eye, but if they refuse to change their ways and become restless, we and even Mr. Jin himself don’t show mercy!”
