Chapter 571 - Walk Straight Into The Trap (1/2)

Xiong Wei and Su Lun sucked in a deep breath and did their best to control their expressions and emotions.

Both of them smiled at the same time.

“Now, gather your squads and prepare to move out so that we can capture Meng Chao and fight against the monsters!” Lu Siya said. “I will talk to Poison Scorpion so they will work with all of you. I trust that if Golden Tooth, Black Bone, and Poison Scorpion work together, the other middle-sized gangs and small gangs won’t make any noise.

“However, I’m very curious as to whether you have any specific plan to handle the situation. Where are you going to look for Meng Chao and his master? You’re not thinking about searching everywhere like blind fools, right?”

“Ever since the explosion in Leprosy Village, the leaders of the other gangs have gathered together to discuss things, and they’ve already set up a rather perfect emergency plan,” Su Lun said quickly. “Aside from setting up an isolation zone in the lair and locking down Leprosy Village, we’ve also located twenty-two locations, which are all important facilities. They also happen to be the places that are the easiest for the enemy to attack.

“Next, Gang Leader Xiong will personally lead the people to the twenty-two facilities and perform a thorough search to ensure that there are no holes in the security that Meng Chao and the abnormal beast could take advantage of.”

“That’s good.” Lu Siya nodded in satisfaction. She then changed her tone and said, “But I suggest that you add a twenty-third location and add a lot of forces to prioritize searching through it.”

Su Lun and Xiong Wei looked at each other. “Ms. Lu, which place are you talking about?”

“This one.” Lu Siya tapped the ground lightly with her toe. “The underground area of Mutual Gold Coliseum, specifically, the area right under us.”

“This place?” Su Lun’s eyebrows flew up. “The leaders of the gangs are all gathered in Mutual Gold Coliseum. There are plenty of people and resources gathered here. If Meng Chao really dared to sneak into this place, wouldn’t he be walking straight into a trap?”

“That’s why I’m saying that you don’t understand Meng Chao at all. If you didn’t have my help, it’d be impossible for you to capture him.” Lu Siya smiled. “Meng Chao is a really aggressive person. If he faces an enemy attack and the chance of performing a perfect dodge is less than 50%, he will usually choose offense instead of defense. He doesn’t care if he’ll be severely injured if he can deliver a fatal strike in exchange.

“It’s just as you said, Mutual Gold Coliseum is the command center of the gangs and the logistics warehouse. The moment he took this place down— No, as long as he damaged this place and created chaos here, the lair might end up destroyed entirely.

“With Meng Chao’s greed, he won’t take a fancy to those so-called ‘important facilities’. They’re not important to him.

“He will either not attack or attack the heart, and it’s this place!”

Su Lun looked enlightened.

Xiong Wei’s expression also became slightly more pleasant.

He slowly started to believe that it was the right choice to work together with Lu Siya.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, explosions came one after another from the edge of the lair. They were not far from Mutual Gold Coliseum.

The explosions came from different directions, and rolling smoke as well as brilliant fireballs rose into the air, causing the already complicated situation to become even more confusing.

“Meng Chao and the abnormal beast have attacked once more.” Su Lun’s expression turned stark white. “Hospitals, drug warehouses, water purification plants, and other important fundamental facilities in the lair are in the direction of the explosions. If these places are destroyed, the order in the lair won’t be maintained for long.”

“Then, Commander Su, hurry up and mobilize your forces to provide reinforcements and defend those places!” Lu Siya’s voice was just as calm as before. “But I’m going to be firm about my judgment. This is just Meng Chao throwing feints. No matter how fierce the explosions at the borders of the lair are, they’re just a diversion. His real goal is this place.”

Su Lun was stunned for a moment, then he asked hesitantly, “Why are you so certain that the explosions are just feints to capture our attention?”

“Because you’re still alive,” Lu Siya said.

Su Lun did not understand what she meant. “What do you mean?”

“If it weren’t a feint and Meng Chao really attacked, then at the moment you heard the explosion, you should have died, “Lu Siya said faintly.

At that moment, the distance between Meng Chao and Mutual Gold Coliseum was just one hundred meters. He was in the slums under the lair, and the place was like an ant’s nest.

Meng Chao wore a tattered, hooded cloak and a pair of goggles that were as dark as night. The cloak covered his face and hands, and he had meticulously put on a disguise that made it look like he had pus and rotten flesh. He looked disfigured and like his entire body was rotting away.

He had also shrunk the muscles and bones of his left leg, making it shorter than his right leg by two centimeters. He limped as he walked, and at first glance, it looked like he was really sick.

At that moment, he was a homeless man like many others who could be seen everywhere within the lair.

Even if his sister, Bai Jiacao, or his tutor, Gu Jianbo, stood in front of him, they would be unable to recognize him based on his looks or his posture.
