Chapter 375 - A Crazy Thought (1/2)

The more Meng Chao thought about it, the more excited he became. He even thought of a specific plan.

‘The nine cultivation families have been in control of the Survival Committee for years, and scandals like Thundercloud Corporation hoarding items is definitely like mushrooms after a shower. If I were an abnormal beast, I would definitely find a case or two more of them doing something even worse than hoarding and deal a severe blow to their reputation.

‘Then, through mind control or something like brain modification, I will bewitch some of the people from the nine great cultivation families to assassinate the people who exposed the scandals and the investigators. That way, I would definitely make the Dragon Citizens lose their trust in the nine great cultivation families.

‘That’s right. When I order the assassination, I will tell them to cause a large scene so that hundreds or even a whole thousand normal citizens would end up as collateral damage. That way, the conflict between the normal citizens and nine great cultivation families would become worse.

“Wait, to make sure that the flames burn even hotter, I should do some preparatory work.

‘For example, I could lead my monsters to deliver more precise strikes in the city, just like a surgeon removing tumors from a body. My target shouldn’t be the military facilities that are heavily defended, but water purification plants, gene farms, synthesized food factories, and other basic facilities that are related to the survival of the normal citizens.

“Then, millions of normal Dragon Citizens would suffer from a lack of resources and would become resentful. After that, I will fan the flames with rumors that the superhumans of the nine great cultivation families live luxurious lives so that the normal citizens will think something along the lines, “We can’t even ensure our basic survival, so how could you high-and-mighty superhumans be so shameless as to live wanton lives?”

‘With this series of actions, everyone, from superhumans who are from powerful families in Dragon City to those who are not, from below average superhumans to above average superhumans, from superhumans to normal people, and from the Colonization Party to the Home Party will suffer from a rift so bad that it can’t possibly get worse.

‘At that time, as an abnormal beast, I would carry out a plan to support one side while oppressing the other, such as what Gao Ye imagined. I might give normal humans monsters’ abilities and have them fight against superhumans…

‘This wouldn’t even take me a few years. Dragon City would be dealing with such internal strife that it would destroy itself!’

After thinking through everything, Meng Chao wanted to slap his thigh and praise himself for coming up with such a good plan.

As he considered everything carefully, he realized that the abnormal beasts from his previous life had carried out a similar plan to his in the middle stage and later stage of the Monster War.

Many of the odd accidents and changes in Dragon City were something he saw on the news, but he was ignorant about it and did not understand what was going on.

After returning to the past and analyzing the situation with a lot of new information, he felt as if the fog hda dispersed and he could see light now.

Meng Chao stayed up late for three days and handed Ye Xiaoxing the battle plan he came up with after he placed himself in the abnormal beasts’ shoes as well as his investigation report about Blue Home.

As a result, Ye Xiaoxing took the time to discuss things with him in detail a few times, and he was incredibly shocked by Meng Chao’s foresight and ruthlessness, which was something far beyond what a university student should have.

Ye Xiaoxing told Meng Chao that the higher-ups placed a lot of value in his report.

Up till then, the abnormal beast research department had captured and killed quite a number of abnormal beasts. Their research showed that they already possessed nigh human intelligence.

But while the tactical analyzers from the research department had tried to deduce what sort of plans these intelligent monsters would use to fight against Dragon City, the results of their deductions were not as audacious, or rather, not as insane as Meng Chao’s.

But when one had to predict an enemy’s movements, they had to do so with an open mind.

If the abnormal beasts did indeed use Meng Chao’s method to intensify the conflict within Dragon City, that would indeed be very troublesome.

In the next few months, things did indeed progress as Meng Chao predicted.

The superhuman squads who were professionally armored, had high mobility, and belonged to the nine great cultivation families worked together with the Red Dragon Army to obtain a clean victory at the perimeter of Dragon City. They pushed the outermost defense line to the east, west, and south by dozens or even one hundred kilometers.

Even though Dragon City’s territory was expanding, it created problems such as its military strength being dispersed and a longer time being necessary to replenish supplies.

Besides, the newly occupied territories were just like Shattered Starlake, Graveyard Forest, and Raging Waves. They had complicated terrain and all their resources were hidden underground. The capital needed to mine those resources was rather high.

If they wanted to maintain effective control over those places and turn them into built-up areas that could produce items efficiently, they needed to invest a large amount of manpower, materials, and resources into them.

And while there was no longer any fog that covered the sky of Dragon City, small-scale space-time rifts still appeared occasionally. They usually sent a handful of monsters into the core area of the city, where they would land precise attacks on the fundamental facilities that affected the normal people’s livelihood.

One attack was not enough to affect the lifeline of Dragon City.

But if the facilities were damaged repeatedly, Dragon City would be unable to handle the harassment, and the people grew increasingly restless.

“Didn’t they say that the Red Dragon Army has been winning repeatedly at the frontlines and has destroyed a lot of the monster nests in the fog? Why are there still so many monsters coming nonstop into the city?”

“Monsters destroy our water plants, power plants, and food factories every few days. Having power outages and water shortages is still fine, but if we can’t even have a guaranteed supply of earthworm canned food, how will we be supposed to live?”

“What are the superhumans doing? I saw some photos from Dragon City No.1 in the deep web yesterday. That place is decorated so friggin’ lavishly that it’s basically heaven in there. The superhumans are enjoying life in heaven and do not care about the lives and deaths of the normal citizens anymore, huh?”
