Chapter 327 - Brand New Fighting Style (1/2)

Both of them wore sunglasses and restrained their vitality magnetic fields to get on a rusty elevator while watched by guards who pretended to be normal office employees.

To Meng Chao’s surprise, the elevator did not go up. Instead, it went straight down.

Clanging sounds reached his ears. The elevator trembled a little. The journey did not seem to have an end to it. Meng Chao reckoned that they had gone at least one hundred meters underground.

The door opened and revealed a winding, dark, small tunnel.

Based on the mottled walls, it was an underground defensive facility that had existed under Dragon City since it was on Earth and was as complicated as a maze.

When it was first designed, it had to have been used to fend against nuclear weapons. A group of lucky people would be able to stay here for decades or even more than one hundred years, and when things had settled down outside, they would go out.

Hence, the entire place looked crudely made, tough, and cold. It was very militarized.

With Lu Siya in the lead, they went through three doors that were thicker than half a meter, and finally, the area ahead of them became brighter.

The tough walls on both sides of the tunnel were replaced by strengthened glass.

Through it, Meng Chao could see labs with monsters.

The first lab was a 3D maze that slowly rotated in the air. It had a small rat with a body as white as jade. It was moving around the maze, which was quite complex.

Even humans might have a hard time finding the exit.

There were also researchers controlling the forks in the maze. They randomly opened and closed the barricades to change the way out.

The rat could remember each path clearly. It always chose the right path, and it never hesitated when it made its choice. When it reached the end, it enjoyed good food.

The second lab was filled with a faint blue liquid. A colorful eight-tentacled octopus that could change its color like a chameleon floated inside it.

It was currently doing sudoku.

Meng Chao blinked to make sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him.

The octopus was indeed holding a marker pen that could be used underwater. With a tentacle wrapped around the pen, it was focused on solving a sudoku puzzle on an incredibly large white board.

The third lab had a monster that looked like a combination between a sloth and an anteater.

It was curled up lazily in a corner of the lab and snoring loudly.

Meng Chao listened to it closely and soon realized that the monster was not snoring, but reciting poetry in a strange voice. “The bright moon shines through the window next to the bed, its light on the floor is like snow on the ground; I look up and see the moon, and I cannot help but look down to remember my home.”

Meng Chao looked at Lu Siya in shock.

“It’s just imitating speech like a parrot,” Lu Siya explained. “It doesn’t really understand the meaning of the poem. They did a simple stimulation, and this is what happened when it reacted to it based on nervous impulse. Speaking of which, imitation is also a very important method of learning. Who knows whether it will gain enlightenment after it receives multiple stimulations in continuous waves and understands the beauty of the poem?”

There was no monster in the fourth lab.

A lone human was standing inside and staring at Meng Chao with a depressed look.

Meng Chao was just about to ask Lu Siya what was going on and why they trapped a human inside when he realized that the human’s facial features were a little strange. His face was very stiff, as if he was wearing a human skin mask.

And that mask was a copy of Meng Chao’s own face.

The next moment, the “human” suddenly blinked and became transparent. “His” entire body slumped down and “he” turned into a pile of goo.

It trembled about and looked like an extra large sticky pudding.

Meng Chao realized that all monsters locked up in the lab were not normal monsters.

Their fighting strength might not compare to Hell Beasts or Apocalyptic Beasts, but they had high intelligence or strange abilities.

Meng Chao saw Ye Xiaoxing in an office at the end of the corridor.

The office was not big to begin with, but now it was full of files with many years’ worth of dust on them. It looked like a warehouse that a tornado had visited recently.

Ye Xiaoxing was curled up among a pile of old books. He wore two detachable sleeves, which made him look like an old accountant who did not care about the affairs of the world rather than a powerful fighter who could fight fiercely against the Ultimate Sandworm.

“Meng Chao, we meet again.” Ye Xiaoxing shut a folder with lots of monster information. He removed the detachable sleeves and released a long breath before he smiled and said, “First, a piece of good news. We’ll be giving you a huge amount of support in regard to Superstar taking over Spirit Creation Creatures’ remaining business, technology, and employees.

“Siya should have mentioned it to you along the way. I don’t want this matter to blow up again and stir up another internal conflict between the biochemical modification faction and the runic symbol machines faction.
