Chapter 589 - Capture All Of Them In One Go (2/2)

“Enough with the nonsense.” Meng Chao reached out and grabbed Su Lun’s jaw. With a bit of strength, cracking came from Su Lun’s jaw.

Half of Su Lun’s teeth had been knocked out by Xiong Wei. The nerves under the broken teeth were exposed to the air, and when Meng Chao pressed down on them, Su Lun started spasming in pain again.

“Now, take us to the place where the robbers, traitors, and former Reaper Squad members are,” Meng Chao ordered coldly.

“I-I can take you there, but I don’t think you’re strong enough to handle them.” Su Lun grunted. “The robbers and traitors are easy targets, but those former Reaper Squad members have died once or even multiple times. They’re ferocious ghosts who crawled out of hell and have direct contact with the Vortex. They aren’t completely under my command.

“They’re wary and have a lot of experience in fighting, surviving, and fleeing from complicated situations. Second-class fighters from the gangs and you might be unable to capture them in one go.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Lu Siya moved forward, and an unfathomable smile appeared on her lips. “Did you really think that I was the only one who entered the lair?”

Fifteen minutes later, more than ten people lay in a smelly room on the second basement level of a large building that was as complicated as a hive, as cramped as an ant’s nest, and as dirty as a pig’s pen. It was surrounded by illegal buildings and situated next to a large waste sorting and recycling factory.

Even though the group wore hooded cloaks of the lair citizens, the thick smell of blood spreading out from their pores was something not even the thick cloaks could cover.

The skin that was exposed was an abnormal shade of white, and it looked even more hideous than that of a zombie.

Thick but messy blood vessels encased muscles that twitched nonstop, showing that these people were in a state of excitement and exhaustion. It was a paradoxical look.

Under the hoods were twisted faces due to them draining their lives too much to release their desires.

Their eyes were bulging out of their sockets, and the spark of humanity in them had been replaced by a fierce, animalistic glint.

The people were clearly awake, but they were exhausted. They could not even move their fingers.

All of them held metal tubes that contained Deification Capsules next to their chests. Sometimes, they licked their lips and cast hungry eyes at the metal tubes.

It was as if the only meaning left in whatever little remained of their lives was to eat the Deification Capsules and charge out to fight fearlessly.

“How long do we have to wait before we can take action again?” One of the robbers could not tolerate it anymore. He reached for the metal tube with a quivering hand. “I want power. I want to enjoy that damn strength. I want to punch through walls, flip over an armored vehicle, and tear apart motorized armor! That feeling is amazing!”

“Wait. The boss has his own arrangements. We can’t interfere with the big plan!”

A man who seemed like the leader of the robbers kicked him, causing the metal tube in his hands to roll away.

The robber leader gulped and gasped as he said, “It’ll be soon. The fire outside is already very large. Once the gangs’ forces spread out even more, we’ll rush out and light up the junkyard beside us.

“This junkyard is full of inflammable and explosive items as well as thick miasma. If we blast it into the air, everything within a circular area of a few kilometers will be in chaos. At that time, we’ll welcome our world!”

“At that time, we’ll empty the warehouses of the gangs!” Another robber who looked as thin as a skeleton started cackling. “Then, we’ll use the resources from the gangs to create more Deification Capsules and continue killing, stealing, and having fun!”

When they remembered the endless joy that made them feel as if they were on cloud nine, all the robbers laughed savagely.

“I think it’s past the allocated time. Why isn’t the signal here yet?” one robber asked in slight worry. “Did something happen?”

“Shut up. Nothing will go wrong with the boss.” The robber leader kicked the person and spoke confidently, though he was also lying to himself. “Without the boss’ planning, we’d still be nameless nobodies in the slums, and everyone could step all over us!

“But under the boss’ instructions, we stole from a lot of big companies and industries, and even the secret police couldn’t do anything to us!

“Compared to the mega corporations and secret police, the gangs are nothing. The boss has definitely arranged everything a long time ago!”

The robbers started cackling again.

Since they were immersed in the feeling of the upcoming robbery and murder, the overly excited robbers did not notice a colorless and scentless, high-density anesthetic gas seeping into their room through the cracks in the window and the door and the ventilation pipes.
