Chapter 386 - : Vague Sense of Unease (1/2)

Meng Chao sat up in the medical cabin.

He noticed that he was in a military-issued ambulance.

When he looked out the left window, he found that the ambulance was parked beside Red Dragon River. It was not far from the construction site of the underwater tunnel.

Based on how busy and tense the people were at the construction site and the facilities there, the Ultimate Sandworm had not managed to completely destroy the underwater tunnel.

The damage was pretty bad, but it was within acceptable range.

‘That’s good, then.’

Meng Chao sighed in relief.

He then saw a silver camp. It had a painted warning for biochemical danger and the emblem of the abnormal beast research department. Many researchers wearing white chemical protective clothing moved in and out.

By the looks of it, the Ultimate Sandworm’s carcass had already been dragged to the surface. The researchers were racing against time to discover the secrets of Supernatural Entities and abnormal beasts before its flesh and nerve bundles completely rotted away.

“You’re awake?”

A slightly hoarse woman’s voice came from beside him.

Meng Chao turned his head around and noticed that there were two medical cabins in the ambulance. Lu Siya sat in the other one. By the looks of it, she had woken up a little earlier than he did. Even though there were still a lot of IV tubes sticking out of her, she looked pretty good. She was already tapping away at her tab while working on something.

“How long have I been in the cabin and what’s the situation?”

Meng Chao stretched his limbs and spine. The light sting of pain made him feel like he was bitten by ants. It was not too bad.

“Forty-five minutes,” Lu Siya said. “Don’t worry. It isn’t anything serious. You’ve just drained your spirit energy and the acid from the Ultimate Sandworm had seeped into your skin. In the end, when the fat, methane, nitroso-ene, ethenone, and other substances exploded, the impact gave you a slight concussion.

“The problems are not too serious, but the captain wanted me to tell you that your strategy of crawling into a monster’s stomach to wreak havoc was too reckless, since you didn’t know the strength of its organs’ acid and corrosive properties. You didn’t know how much bacteria and viruses were in the monster’s body, much less how destructive the incendiary and explosive substances in the monster’s body would be when ignited. If you were unlucky, you might have died together with the monster.

“He will apply for a reward from the government, soon. You will get medals and rewards that only official investigators can get. But if you run into a similar situation again, please don’t act like such a lunatic.”

“I was just… excited from all the fighting and it got to my head!” Meng Chao scratched his head and smiled. He could not quite believe it himself. “Is the Ultimate Sandworm really dead?”

“Don’t you remember?” Lu Siya asked. “You cut it apart from its mouth to its excretion pore and created a mess inside. You even ripped it to pieces. How could it not be dead?”

Meng Chao blinked and checked Kindling, which was burning at the corner of his eyes.

Just as he expected, a new notification had popped up.

[You killed the mutated form of the Ultimate Sandworm. Increased contribution points by 9,999.]

“It’s really dead, huh…” Meng Chao mumbled to himself.

He felt a little disappointed. Kindling seemed to be becoming more stingy with each mission.

9,999 contribution points might seem a lot, but he had faced the legendary Supernatural Entity. It was a bit of a slight to its status if it did not give Meng Chao fifty thousand contribution points.

Ever since he reached the peak of Earth Realm, he really wanted to reach Heaven Realm.

The things he had to cultivate became harder and needed more resources.

Even the determined and focused superhumans would need a few years or even more than ten years before to reach Heaven Realm.

Meng Chao was not stupid. He knew that his foundation was not too firm and he had to deal with too many matters on a daily basis.

He spent his time on lectures, the Ultimate Style, Broken Star Club, Blue Home, Superstar, the abnormal beast research department, and his cooperation with Yan Hengbo, Ning Shewo, and Luo Wu. He just did not have a lot of time to cultivate.

Since he only had limited time and wanted to improve fast, he could only splurge on his skills and use up the contribution points.

The skills he was cultivating right now were all from Gu Jianbo, Li Yingzi, Deity Realm superhuman Black Tortoise Zong Yue, and the anonymous donor who was even greater than Zong Yue.

They were completely different compared to basic martial arts like Ripple Force and One Hundred Saber Techniques.

Many of the spirit energy magnetic fields that were labeled as killing techniques and secret techniques had profound and complicated structures that made them look like 3D mazes. Even a 1% increase in Skillfulness required more than one hundred contribution points.

He had expected to earn a whole bunch of contribution points from the Supernatural Entity, but in the end, he only earned 9,999 contribution points. It was not enough for him to survive…

Meng Chao shook his head and looked at the light from flames that rose between the buildings situated far away from them. They were in the southern part of the city. He stopped thinking about nonsense and asked, “What’s the situation in the southern part of the city? Did a large scale zombie horde appear?”

“No, even if the abnormal beasts caught us off guard. They first had the Ultimate Sandworm secretly dig an underground tunnel leading from outside the city, then quietly mobilized a large number of pests with zombie virus.

“Since they were in control of top-class neurological technology, the abnormal beasts upgraded the nervous systems of the pests and caused the low-class ecdysozoans and mollusca to be in possession of a certain degree of intelligence. At the very least, they could receive and carry out orders via brainwaves.

“The rat hordes were in charge of spreading the zombie virus, and the zombies created chaos. The shell-type monsters, ecdysozoans, and snake-type monsters were strengthened and upgraded, and they located the important facilities at the southern part of the city, which they then attacked them. They were really troublesome.

“But that’s all. They were just troublesome.

“Sneakily causing trouble within Dragon City won’t allow them to go to war with us. It’s impossible for the enemy to secretly transport a lot of monsters into the city, and the ones brought in can’t be of any notable strength. If there were high-grade Hell Beasts or even Apocalyptic Beasts with powerful spirit energy hidden among them, we would have detected them a long time ago.

“So, while we suffered a lot of damage in this attack, it’s within controllable range.
