"Demon Subduing Slash!"
Meng Chao used his hand as a saber. His entire arm was covered in profound and complicated spirit tattoos. His spirit energy erupted from the spirit tattoos and formed a saber glare that was around four meters long. It also looked like a shining demon subduing pole that went charging at the Lightning Python.
Boom!
The Lightning Python dodged the attack by a hair's breadth, but Meng Chao left a deep trench on the ground.
Meng Chao did not even catch his breath. The second saber glare rippled at his fingertips. It chased after the Lightning Python like a shadow.
For a period of time, the Lightning Python was enveloped by dozens of saber glares.
The greatest advantage of the Ultimate Style was its ability to fight for an extreme amount of time.
Once an Ultimate Style martial artist surrounded a monster, unless something unexpected happened, it was very difficult for a monster of the same level to escape.
Meng Chao also figured out the pattern in which the Lightning Python shot the plasma in an instant.
There were a few times when he intentionally slowed down and pretended that his strength was not enough to lure the Lightning Python into counterattacking.
And at the moment it was about to spit out the plasma, the saber glare at the tip of Meng Chao's finger would become several times brighter and cut at its weak spot, forcing it to swallow the plasma back into its body.
The Lightning Python was electrocuted so much that it became confused.
Wisps of white smoke came out of the gaps between its scales.
It screeched and swung its tail horizontally, creating intersecting cracks on the cooling tower behind it.
Meng Chao remained as calm as ever. He did not even need Lu Siya's help. He flicked his fingertips and sent fine saber glares at the Lightning Python, making it dizzy.
Suddenly, Meng Chao pulled back his saber glare and jumped back lightly to widen the distance between him and the Lightning Python.
The Lightning Python finally had a chance to catch its breath and counterattack. It was delighted and opened its mouth wide. A ball of plasma that had never been seen before gathered in its throat.
"Careful!"
The superhumans who ran over cried out in surprise.
But it was too late.
"Thud! Zzzt! "
The Lightning Python shot plasma at Meng Chao's face.
Meng Chao ignored it and did not dodge.
Then, something unbelievable happened.
The moment the plasma shot out, it split into hundreds of electrical arcs that surrounded the Lightning Python. It electrocuted it so much that it started foaming. Its scales rose, and its flesh was charred. Its eyes were burning, and the sarcoma on its head that was used to control its mind also shriveled up and drooped down.
The lightning python twisted into a ball as if it was having a cramp. Its flesh and blood were all torn, and it could no longer move.
The superhumans surged forward and bound the Lightning Python. Then, they injected more than ten units of high-density anesthetic into its body. Only then did they turn their heads around to look at Meng Chao in puzzlement.
Meng Chao went forward and knelt on one knee. Then, he carefully pulled out four silver needles that were as thin as hair from the Lightning Python's head.
Just now, when he used Demon Subduing Slash to make the Lightning Python dizzy, he stabbed its brain without it noticing and cut off part of the connection between its brain and its central nervous system.
Not only did it make the Lightning Python lose its mobility, it also made it immune to its own plasma attacks.
It might seem like magic, but it was built on an incredibly deep understanding of monster structures. It was also built on the foundation of meticulous harvesting skills that far surpassed that of a normal person.
This was a tactic unique to veteran harvesters.
The factory protectors and the operation members from the abnormal beast research department looked at each other at a loss. They could see great shock in each other's eyes.
In truth, Meng Chao was quite famous right now. When he first arrived at the power plant, a lot of people recognized him.
However, to the high-ranking engineers who were in their forties or fifties and the operation members from the abnormal beast research department who had gone through hundreds of battles, no matter how strong Meng Chao was, he was just a young man in his early twenties who had not even graduated from university. He could only be said to be outstanding among his peers.
He had joined the operation to defend the power plant because he wanted to broaden his horizons and gain some practical experience.
They did not expect that Meng Chao would be able to instantly locate the monster's commander.
Moreover, before the main force arrived, he had subdued the highly intelligent monster.
The difficulty of capturing a monster alive was ten times higher than killing it.
All the superhumans knew this very well.
When they looked at Meng Chao, their gazes were filled with even more admiration and puzzlement.
Meng Chao smiled faintly.
He clenched his fists, which were burning hot because he had used Demon Subduing Slash too much.
It was as if he was holding a piece of steel that had reached its melting point.
After he became a three-star superhuman, the speed of his spirit energy circulation, the limit of his spirit energy release, and the increase in his basic body functions due to the mutation of his organs were secondary.
The key was that 70% of his spirit meridians had crystallized, and he had learned a brand new method to create spirit energy magnetic fields from his tutor and the mysterious fighter. Right now, he had a lot more tactical choices. He could also use his fighting experience from his previous life to execute unconventional, ever-changing, and fighting styles that surpassed the current era.
'I'm also a three-star superhuman, but I'm a three-star superhuman from decades in the future. If I use fighting strength to judge me, I should be far stronger than Qin Hu under Raging Waves and all the other three-star superhumans in Dragon City, right?'
When Meng Chao sensed the power crashing into his muscles, nerves, and bones like waves, he felt incredibly good. 'If I defend the garbage power plant, the defense system of the hundreds of residential areas in the north of the city won't have any problems. Today, I changed the future and made a small contribution to Dragon City. I wonder how many contribution points I'll get?'
He blinked for a long time.
But not a single contribution point popped up at the corner of his eyes.
'Um …'
Meng Chao suddenly had a bad feeling.
Usually, this sort of situation meant that the mission had not ended yet. The enemy had not been completely destroyed, so it was not time for the points to be calculated.
'No way,' Meng Chao mumbled.
Boom!
Before his voice faded away, a loud explosion came from the depths of the power plant.
A fireball rose into the air, and in the colorful night sky, it gradually turned into a threatening black cloud.
"It's coming from the power generators!"
Lu Siya floated in the air and served as a lookout. She could tell with just one glance.
"Impossible!"
Meng Chao and the superhumans looked at each other, dumbfounded.
The power generators were the core of the power plant.
Of course, they were the most important part of the defense system.
Over the past few days, they had searched the area multiple times and sealed off all the pipes that could be used by monsters. They also set up traps and alarms in the dark and narrow corners. They also sent elite soldiers to patrol the place to make sure that there were no blind spots.
Regardless of whether it was the Lightning Pythons or the Flame Rats, they could only move around the cooling tower. The monsters could not infiltrate the places near the power generators.
The explosion was clearly not a normal malfunction, so who could have triggered it?
Meng Chao quickly rushed to the power generators with the superhumans.
The place was filled with fog, and quite a number of the steam pipes had been destroyed. White fog rose into the air, making it look like a bathhouse. The temperature was really high, but visibility was incredibly low.
Lu Siya gestured in the air to show that she could not see what was going on inside.
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire came from the white mist.
Meng Chao took two steps forward and nearly tripped over a corpse.
He lowered his head and examined the corpse. He found that it was one of the workers protecting the power plant.
But his fatal wound was a gunshot wound in the center of his eye socket.
One of his eyeballs and his brain had been pierced through. The other eyeball was unharmed, but it was filled with shock. It was as if he could not believe that death had descended on him.
"A gunshot wound?"
Meng Chao mumbled to himself.
Did monsters know how to use guns?
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he shuddered and shouted in the communication channel. "Everyone, be careful. The saboteur might be a human. I repeat, the saboteur might be a human. He has a gun and might attack us at any moment. Don't recklessly get close to the people stationed here!"
"H-human?"
The factory workers felt their skin crawl. They looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Seal the steam pipes first and have the fire trucks spray from afar. We'll talk after we increase our visibility!" Meng Chao said quickly.
Four fire trucks sprayed water from the perimeter, and like a storm, they chased away the cover of the steam, revealing corpses all over the ground. There were also three people standing alone.
Regardless of whether they were lying on the ground or standing, they were all wearing the uniforms of the garbage power plant. They were either the engineers of the power plant or the powerful fighters who were sent over as reinforcements from the power company.
When the factory workers on Meng Chao's side saw so many of their comrades lying on the ground, their hearts clenched in pain, and they burned with anxiety.
But they did not run over on impulse.
Because with night vision goggles, they could clearly see that the people on the ground were all suffering from gunshot wounds.
Quite a number of them had fallen on their backs, and their heads had exploded from behind.
If they were not people they knew and trusted, who would be able to sneak up behind them and kill them at close range without them noticing?
"Captain Fang, what's going on?"
One of the factory workers on Meng Chao's side asked loudly.
The three people on the other side ignored him. They just kept walking around as if they were lost.
Their footsteps were a little stiff. One of them raised his head, while the other lowered his head. It was as if they had forgotten how to walk or were searching for something on the ground.
In an instant, they found a few corpses. They crouched down slowly and searched the corpses for a while. Then, they found a belt covered in grenades.
On Meng Chao's side, everyone's pupils shrank.
"Captain Fang, what are you doing? Why is everyone dead? Who did it?!" The factory worker's voice grew more urgent.
The other party still ignored him. He placed four or five belts on his shoulders and dragged his feet to the generator set.
Bang, bang, bang!
Meng Chao fired three shots in a row, and they landed right in front of Captain Fang and the other two workers' feet.
Captain Fang finally turned his head around and glared at Meng Chao.
The searchlights on the four fire engines shone clearly on the faces of Captain Fang and the other two members of the team.
"Hiss …"
Everyone sucked in sharp breaths.
Captain Fang and the other two had blank expressions on their faces. Their eyeballs were black, and the sclera of their eyes had been devoured by black fog. Their faces were also covered in thick blood vessels that were protruding out of their skin. There was something squirming in their blood vessels, and they looked even more terrifying than zombies.
"Captain Fang, don't move, or else we'll shoot!"
The factory workers gulped. More than one hundred guns were pointed at their comrades just a moment ago.
Captain Fang and the other two raised their heads forty-five degrees and stared at the dark sky with their dark eyes.
After a moment, they let out hissing sounds from the depths of their throats. It was a scream that humans definitely could not make.
Two of their subordinates tightened their grip on their belts and charged at Meng Chao with strange postures.
Captain Fang held more than ten grenades and staggered to the generator set.
