Lu Siya was stunned by Meng Chao's bold guess.
She could not help but turn her head around and ask the researchers beside her, "Can a sandworm be like an earthworm and split into two before regenerating on its own?"
"It's quite impossible in a natural environment."
The sandworm experts discussed it nervously for a while before they said, "After all, their sizes are too different, and their structures are different as well. It's hard for a sandworm to regenerate its esophageal cavity, which is filled with sharp teeth."
"What if they used the best biochemical technology in the lab to help them?"
Meng Chao asked anxiously. "You have to understand that we're not facing a wild sandworm, but a work of art carefully created through genetic engineering. This Ultimate Sandworm has the genes of earthworms, sea cucumbers, octopuses, and other creatures with great regenerative abilities. Is it really impossible for it to split into two?"
"That's …"
The sandworm experts looked at each other and nodded with solemn expressions. "In a lab, if we cut a sandworm in two and put it into a culture tank, there's a possibility that it can grow a brand new esophageal cavity and excretory orifice."
"That's right!"
Meng Chao swung his arm. "The Ultimate Sandworm in front of us must have been regenerated from the second half of Gao Ye's body, which is his butt and tail. It's just an incomplete body, so it doesn't have the terrifying fighting power of the original, nor does it have any intelligence or humanity.
"Big Sis Ya, think about the fight just now. It didn't show any fighting intelligence that can compare to a human's, right?
"Also, when the zombies heard my touching speech, they cried, and when the monsters heard it, they fell silent. But in the end, I didn't manage to stir up even the slightest bit of emotion in the depths of its soul.
"I thought that my silver tongue wasn't sharp enough, but now that I think about it, it's because it's just Gao Ye's butt. It doesn't have a soul!"
"Um …" Lu Siya said.
"That's just your guess. You don't have any proof."
"I don't have proof, but it's very logical, isn't it?"
Meng Chao said. "This guess solves all my doubts. Why is it so weak? Why can't it understand my words? Why did the enemy release it ten days ahead of time to stir up trouble?"
"Wait," Lu Siya said.
"Even if it's really Gao Ye's clone, why did the enemy release it ten days ahead of time to make us wary? Even if it's just a clone, it could have destroyed the underwater tunnel. "
"That's right. That's another problem …"
Meng Chao mumbled to himself and started thinking.
But this time, he only thought about it for half a minute before he extended a finger and said, "I can only think of one possibility, and that is to attract our attention to the greatest extent so that the entire Group 9 will be led by the nose by the Ultimate Sandworm's clone, and they won't have time to care about anything else.
"At the end of the day, Group 9 is the special investigation team for Lin Chuan and Gao Ye's case. Once Gao Ye's whereabouts appear, we have to put down everything we're doing and mobilize all our forces to surround him.
"From Team Leader Ye to me, who's an off-staff member, we've been playing hide-and-seek with this beast in the depths of the underground for more than ten days. We've barely slept a wink, so naturally, we don't have the time and energy to deal with other clues.
"Ye Gao and Gu and Siya," Gao Dong. Chuan and I have been. "Lin not. and I," Shan, "Gao Gao Chit Long, Sun." I "Gao. a ten, Lu and Long. Lu. Long," Ch Chuan, in, "Long,, and it.." Ch. Gao, ". Lu," Dong, "
"Isn't the destruction of the southern part of the city a shocking scheme? "This time, the abnormal beast managed to create the effect of fog descending and monster horde invasion without any fog."
"So what? Will Dragon City be destroyed because of this?"
Meng Chao asked. "Even if I increase the intensity of the abnormal beast's attacks by five times and make the entire south of the city turn into a sea of fire, so what? Will Dragon City be destroyed because of this?
"No, it's impossible. It's not like Dragon City has never suffered such a heavy blow before. During the most dangerous time, the city area controlled by humans shrank by half, but we still managed to get through it.
"Big Sis Ya, it's impossible for the monsters to destroy us if they attack Dragon City purely through physical means. Danger will make us even more united, and it will subtly get rid of and cover up the original conflicts in Dragon City. I believe that the abnormal beast knows this very well.
"Then, if we launch this sort of pointless attack, it won't have much of a strategic meaning.
"That's right. Tonight, the south of the city is in a mess. Many innocent citizens have been harmed, and many buildings are burning. Some of the buildings might collapse, and some of the powerful fighters might die. Once the dust settles, there will be countless citizens who will lose their homes, and we'll have to settle them down.
"But these problems won't shake Dragon City's foundation, and it's impossible for them to shake the humans' beliefs. Instead, they'll make us unite against a common enemy, and we'll be united.
"And what's the price the abnormal beast has to pay?
"First of all, this attack made the humans realize the abnormal beast's new strategy. In the future, they'll definitely increase their surveillance of the underground world. Next time, it won't be so easy for them to dig an underground tunnel from outside the city into the city.
"Second, the humans have also discovered the new zombie virus. With our learning and research speed, we'll definitely be able to decipher the secrets of the new virus and develop the corresponding vaccines and serums. We'll also be able to come up with strategies to deal with the new zombies.
"Even the normal citizens won't be so panicked the next time they see the new zombies that can fly, jump, spit acid, and self-destruct.
"Besides, we won't be wasting our resources in Dragon City for nothing. There are so many genetically modified pests with super nerves and basic intelligence. Even if they're abnormal beasts, they'll still need a lot of resources to modify them, right?
"These are all the costs of attacking Dragon City.
"Then, what exactly did the abnormal beasts get in return after investing so much in this? Nothing. Nothing at all. It's the same as the previous fog descends. The return on cost is so low that it's terrifying! "
When she heard this, Lu Siya could not help but say, "Isn't your imagination a little too wild?
"In the past, the monsters fought like this during the fog descends.
"Now, with the abnormal beasts' commands, the monsters' concealment of their attacks, their targeting, the coordination between different races, and even the coordination between the monsters and zombies have increased by leaps and bounds. Isn't that enough?"
"Not enough. It's far from enough."
Meng Chao stared at Lu Siya seriously. A light that surpassed the current era shone in the depths of his eyes, and he said clearly, "Big Sis Ya, do you know what the current Dragon Citizens lack the most?"
When he stared at her, Lu Siya had a strange feeling. She instinctively asked, "What is it?"
"Strategic thinking," Meng Chao said.
"Right now, Dragon City has a lot of Deity Realm superhumans who stand at the top. There are also experts and scholars who have reached the peak of their specialties. There are also mighty generals in the Red Dragon Army who lead millions of soldiers.
"Of course, their intelligence is a hundred times greater than mine.
"But forgive me for being blunt, but I think that the current powerful fighters and wise people in Dragon City don't have a good grasp of the overall situation and strategic thinking.
"Of course, we can't blame anyone for this. After all, ever since Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World more than half a century ago, we've been a lone army in the Other World. Our vision is shrouded in fog, and all we see and think about is in a small city. It's inevitable that we have more blind spots and limitations in our thinking.
"Moreover, our opponents are far from being the smartest of the bunch.
"Monsters don't have any strategic intelligence. Their so-called sieges are just them charging in like a swarm of bees to destroy the city and die because of their killing instincts. Even though they're fierce, they have no strategy. They can kill people with their tactics, but when it comes to strategy, every single time they attack, it's meaningless.
"Have you ever heard of this saying? Don't argue with idiots, because idiots will only drag you down to their level and use their vast experience to defeat you.
"Similarly, we shouldn't fight against Demonic Halberd Pigs in a swamp. Even if we win, we'll just end up covered in smelly mud.
"Do you understand what I mean? The Monster War doesn't exist at all, because this sort of fight is like child's play. It doesn't deserve to be called a real war!
"Even if a Deity Realm superhuman and an Apocalyptic Beast fight in a battlefield that is as fierce as an epic battle, when it comes to strategy, it's the same as two soldiers rolling around in a ditch. It's no different.
"As a result, not only have we not gained any strategic thinking during the decades of the Monster War, we've been dragged down to the level of monsters. We're like monsters. We're all brawn and no brains!
"Let's talk about the battle before us.
"Since the enemy first attacked the south of the city, we believe that the south of the city is the enemy's only target, but we don't think about why the enemy launched this attack or what their strategic goal is. This is the typical case of people who only see the trees but not the forest!"
Lu Siya opened her mouth.
She really wanted to say, "All the people in the city don't have strategic intelligence, but you do?"
But when she thought about how Meng Chao had given her a lot of analysis of the abnormal beasts and how his accuracy was so high that it was terrifying, Lu Siya wanted to say something.
He also helped Gu Jianbo create the Ultimate Style, which was practically perfect against the monsters who were constantly evolving.
Lu Siya obediently shut up.
Meng Chao also felt that he had gone overboard with his words.
Right now, the powerful fighters, wise people, specialists, and elites in Dragon City might not lack strategic thinking.
But their strategic thinking could not compare to the Dragon Citizens decades later in his previous life.
After all, the current Dragon Citizens only treated one city as their battlefield and the stupid monsters as their enemies.
Decades later, the battlefield would turn into the Other World, and their enemies would turn into all sorts of strange races in the Other World!
Even before the apocalypse arrived, Meng Chao only played the role of vanguard and assassinating in the dark.
Under the stimulation of a battlefield that was one hundred times bigger and enemies that were one hundred times more dangerous, he had a mind that was one hundred times sharper than the current Dragon Citizens!
