Chapter 516 - Just Who Is It? (1/2)

Meng Chao held his breath and released a bit of spirit energy into the outside world through the hole in the manhole cover.

His spirit energy fluctuated and released ripples into the area. He did not manage to find any powerful vitality magnetic fields.

It was only then that Meng Chao carefully and silently opened the manhole cover and crawled out with A’Ji.

They were now at a quiet corner of an alley.

Through the cracks of two tilted, illegal buildings, they could see the building where the Deification Capsule pharmacy was. It was, of course, now completely collapsed.

The flames surrounding the surface of the ruins had already been put out by the Leprosy Village.

But there were still a lot of substances containing spirit energy in the depths of the debris. They were burning silently and releasing ink-like smoke through the cracks in the ground.

The smoke was like a black pillar that reached the skies. It shot through the dusk-colored sky and dyed the rainbow-colored fog in the air black.

It was as if a black coffin had been turned upside down on Leprosy Village, and it was currently squashing the place… No, it was squashing all of Golden Tooth Lair.

Meng Chao knew that this glue-like, black cloud was the product of low-grade crystals and the incomplete combustion of etherealized substances.

Based on his experiences, the black smoke would remain for around half a month or an even longer period of time. During that time, most of the electromagnetic signals, spirit energy magnetic signals, and wireless signals would be blocked.

The enemy had also started a signal interference, which blocked off all forms of communication, so it was difficult for the outside world to know what had happened inside.

Sophisticated equipment like drones would have a hard time operating for a long time in the black smoke as well.

Before long, their control chips would be invaded by the powder from the low-grade crystals in the black smoke, and they would fall like headless flies.

The same logic applied to the Heaven Realm superhumans. If they flew for a long time in the black smoke, the powder from the low-grade crystals would block their pores and interfere with their vitality magnetic fields, so their cultivation realms and fighting strength would both plummet. They could then be easily shot down like sparrows hit by slingshots.

Meng Chao only wished that before the black smoke completely shrouded the sky above the lair, Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and the other veteran hunters would be able to run out and report what had happened to the command center.

With that thought in mind, Meng Chao and A’Ji went to the entrance of the alley.

Since Meng Chao did not have a cloak, he looked eye-catching due to the Bloody Soul and Tiger Fang Saber on his back, the chain saber around his arm, his bulky muscles that made it look like he was carrying explosives, and the intersecting wounds that covered his built body.

He could only hide in the darkness and look out to observe the streets from the darkness.

There were quite a number of villagers wandering around like ghosts in the streets.

By the looks of it, they had just run out of the collapsed building.

Many of them were touched by the flames. Their robes were tattered, and their skin was covered in patches of red and white. There was also some fluid oozing out from the damaged areas, which was an unbearable sight.

There were some people who were not injured, but had lost their homes and all their belongings in the explosion. Now, they stood like statues that stared upward at the black, suffocating sky.

Many people watched everything coldly, as if they had burning hatred for everything, and did not bother to hide their desire to live. It was the type of desire that would drive them to do whatever it took to survive.

No matter what, survival was the first instinct for all those living.

If they wanted to live, they needed food, water, and living space. If they did not have such things, they would go and snatch them!

Meng Chao could sense an underlying current that was going to destroy everything brewing silently among the survivors who lost everything.

He suddenly understood why the Vortex gathered so many cultivation resources and created a super large crystal bomb.

It didn’t matter how many veteran hunters were killed.

The important part was to create people who lost their homes, families, and had nothing left but hatred and the desire to live.

Such people were going to completely destroy the order in Leprosy Village.

And with the Vortex fanning the flames, they would create even more people who had nothing but hatred and the desire to survive.

They would rush out of Leprosy Village after it lost all order and was reduced to ruins. From there, they would destroy the order in Golden Tooth Lair and make the lair citizens lose everything they had. This would then fill them with hatred and a desperate desire to survive.

It would be like a rolling snowball.

With the super crystal bomb, the Vortex destroyed the order in Leprosy Village, which then allowed him to motivate all the villagers who had nothing but hatred, anger, and the desire to survive to destroy the order in Golden Tooth Lair.

After that, all the lair citizens would care about nothing else but escaping Golden Tooth Lair. This would then spread chaotic lawlessness all over Dragon City.

“Chaos…” Meng Chao mumbled. “Chaos is all that the Vortex wants!”

At that moment, piercing alarms suddenly rang out all over the place.

All the buildings rumbled.

Even the ground trembled a little.

This was an alarm that Dragon Citizens knew all too well.
