Chapter 387 - Too Many Suspicious Points (2/2)

“No. I’m not questioning why it wants to destroy Dragon City. I’m just curious as to why it did those things to alert us. It practically announced itself with fanfare,” Meng Chao said. “Let’s say that it didn’t destroy the skyscrapers, power generators, and operating subways. Instead, it remained hidden underground obediently and sneakily dug underground tunnels leading to outside Dragon City for the abnormal beasts, what would have happened then?

“We then wouldn’t have been able to locate its hiding place and operation goals.

“Then, when the rat horde, zombies, and monsters appeared one after another, most of the superhumans and Red Dragon Army’s attention would have been fixed on the southern part of the city. Then, it could pop out to cause trouble and would be able to destroy the underwater tunnel without any trouble, right?”

This question caused Lu Siya to sink into deep thought.

“Makes sense.” Lu Siya squatted on the ground and thought about it for a total of three minutes before she mumbled, “He attacked ten days ahead. It does feel like he was acting rashly and alerted us.”

“I know, right? Since the abnormal beasts had decided that they would attack the city en masse ten days later, why did they send the Ultimate Sandworm ahead of time? It was their tactical biochemical weapon that could dig tunnels underground, send forces in secret, and cause trouble on the surface,” Meng Chao said.

“Of course, it would definitely be able to create a certain amount of destruction on itself, but it wouldn’t be able to touch Dragon City’s foundation. Instead, it would reveal its existence and would fall short of success when it came to its most important task. Don’t the losses outweigh the benefits here?”

Lu Siya thought about it. “Did the abnormal beasts not think it through?”

“They have an abnormal beast with advanced consciousness transferring technology and gene modification technology as well as ability to control thousands of pests at the same time to create a biochemical storm and target the important facilities in Dragon City. Would they really not have been able to realize that this might be rash?” Meng Chao asked.

Lu Siya’s face turned red. “Yeah, that doesn’t make sense.”

“It doesn’t make sense at all. The abnormal beasts can’t be that stupid, they’re…”

‘Existences who nearly won the Monster War in my previous life and nearly destroyed Dragon City!’

Meng Chao forced himself to swallow the second half of the sentence.

But he could not stop all sorts of thoughts from popping up in his mind.

“If I were an abnormal beast, why would I make the Ultimate Sandworm appear beforehand and attract the abnormal beast research department’s attention?”

Meng Chao thought about it carefully and ruffled his hair so much that it looked like a bird’s nest.

Suddenly, he stopped moving, and a dark light shone in his eyes.

“Unless the underwater tunnel was not the abnormal beasts’ ultimate goal and just smokescreen!”

“No way. Don’t you think you’re being a little too paranoid?” Lu Siya asked. “If they used the one-and-only Ultimate Sandworm as a smokescreen, then I’d have to say that the abnormal beasts are really willing to sacrifice their soldiers.”

“That’s right…” Meng Chao stood up swiftly and massaged his numb legs. He walked around the Ultimate Sandworm’s carcass three times, occasionally drawing closer to observe its skin, spikes, and nerves. He also took over the data the researchers gathered and focused to make calculations and comparisons.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank into two small dots. A cold chill gushed out of his pores, and he turned into a super high capacity 3D air con.

“Big Sis Ya, what did you just say?” Meng Chao mumbled.

“When?” Lu Siya thought about it and said, “I said that the abnormal beasts are too willing to sacrifice their pawns.”

“No. Before it.”

“Using the one-and-only Ultimate Sandworm as a smokescreen?”

“That’s right. That’s it! I know why I could kill this creature so easily now!” Meng Chao’s eyes shone brightly as he pointed at the Ultimate Sandworm’s carcass. “Because it’s not Gao Ye!”

“What did you say?” Lu Siya’s eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

“Don’t go saying that it’s impossible. Let’s talk about why we thought it’s Gao Ye,” Meng Chao said.

“Because…” Lu Siya pondered over it and said, “Not long ago, Gao Ye sent an experiment log saying that he’s gradually losing control and is about to lose his humanity. He also asked you to kill him.

“Soon after that, it appeared and started causing massive destruction. Based on the CCTVs, even though it has gone through a lot of evolution and has completely changed, its basic characteristics are very similar to when it fled half a year ago.

“Besides, it has terrifying tunneling and stone crushing abilities. I can’t believe that the abnormal beasts could modify a second Ultimate Sandworm into something as terrifying as Gao Ye.

“Even if this is just circumstantial evidence, you already killed it and we have concrete evidence. Just now, we compared the living cells we extracted from this Ultimate Sandworm with the living cells from the Ultimate Sandworm half a year ago under Spirit Creatures Creations’ lab. After comparing them, we’re certain that they belong to the same creature. How can you explain that?”

“I can explain it,” Meng Chao said darkly. “Big Sis Ya, even though their appearances and sizes are vastly different from each other, you should know that sandworms and earthworms are close relatives and their DNA components and certain characteristics are practically the same, right?

“Earthworms and sandworms are both annelids. Since their nerves are inferior creations, their bodies are very independent and have great regeneration capabilities.

“If you used a knife to cut an earthworm in half at the center, it might not die. Instead, there is a certain chance that the two severed parts would grow into two different entities, and from ‘it’, it will turn into ‘them’!”
