It was to prevent monsters from attacking the city.
When most of the buildings in Dragon City were first built, they used a lot of the structures and technology used in fortresses and fortresses.
Even skyscrapers that were hundreds of meters tall were usually built in the shape of pyramids and gravity dams. Their bases were huge, and the higher they were, the deeper they retreated. The space they left behind was perfect for anti-aircraft machine gun bases to fend off flying monsters in the sky.
Hence, the crystal bombs buried underground by the monsters did not manage to blow up more than ten buildings in one go.
Even though the buildings were collapsing and leaning heavily toward the ground, the overall structure of the buildings was still perfectly intact.
For the citizens inside, unless they happened to encounter the shockwave of the explosion on the ground floor, they were safe for the time being.
But the explosions were still happening.
Every time there was an explosion, the ground would tremble.
No matter how sturdy the building was, it could not withstand the continuous bombardment.
The collapsed buildings were gradually swallowed up by the earth.
Many residents scrambled out of the tilting buildings.
Some of them were equipped with 3D mobile suits and jumped down from a height of tens of meters.
Without the 3D Mobile Suit, he climbed the rope and slid down.
The biggest problem right now was not the explosion and collapse.
Instead, it was dust and smoke.
The thick gray fog was like a demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, constantly entering the buildings through the windows and shooting holes. Many of the buildings were so dark that one could not even see their own fingers.
Inhaling the gray fog, which was extremely hot and contained a lot of poisonous dust caused by the crystal bombs, the citizens could not see the way out. Some of them were even suffocated.
"There are a lot of citizens there who need help!"
Meng Chao's heart burned with anxiety. 'Damn it, the enemy didn't detonate Noble Descent Hotel first. Instead, they detonated the office buildings and residences around the hotel. Their goal is to create chaos and a large number of citizens who must be saved. They want to prevent the reinforcements from entering the hotel!'
At this moment, a large amount of black smoke and dust exploded around the Noble Descent Hotel.
Looking down from above, he could clearly see that the crystal bombs the other party had planted under the Noble Descent Hotel were clearly much more precise. They had hollowed out the rock stratum beneath the hotel and detonated them at the four corners at the same time, causing the Noble Descent Hotel to sink into the ground.
What happened next was that they were completely shrouded by the black smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Facing the black god-like smoke.
Meng Chao felt as if he was facing a concrete and irreversible fate.
"F * ck you!"
Meng Chao spat out a mouthful of bloody spit at Fate.
Then, he injected a gene medicine extracted from an Apocalyptic Beast's blood into his heart.
He felt like he had turned into an Apocalyptic Beast.
Two chipped, blood-stained sabers that were no longer sharp but had become even fiercer were crossed behind his back. They were connected to his arms by chains. Meng Chao tightened his tactical vest, which was covered in grenades, and placed the vehicle-mounted grenade launcher, Hammer of Destruction, on his shoulder. Then, he was about to jump down from the balcony of the building.
"Look!"
Lu Siya suddenly called out.
Meng Chao turned his head around and narrowed his eyes in the direction she pointed.
In the pitch-black night sky, under the burning dark clouds, hundreds of specks of starlight were rapidly moving towards them.
"This is …"
Meng Chao was stunned for three seconds before he suddenly jumped three feet high in excitement and swung his fists fiercely. "It's a glider bag! There are Heaven Realm elites with gliders on them! One, two, five … There are at least dozens of Heaven Realm elites rushing over from all directions!"
"There too." Lu Siya pointed at the ground.
On the ground was a long steel line formed by the Red Dragon Army's rapid reaction squad. They were charging toward Noble Descent Hotel at the fastest speed possible.
The explosion and the smoke had already presented "indisputable evidence". It was believed that more experts from the military were on their way here as fast as lightning.
Their communication terminals kept ringing with notifications.
Just now, Lu Siya had used her connections and contacted countless powerful fighters.
Meng Chao also contacted his tutor, Gu Jianbo, his tutoress, Li Yingzi, the powerful fighters from Yan Organization who were skilled in Ripple Force, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, the core members of the Broken Star Club, and through Qin Hu, he asked him to mobilize more veteran hunters in the city.
Many of them were already in the southern battlefield and could not be contacted for the time being.
Those who managed to contact them also had their own posts to defend and duties to fulfill.
But in the end, there were still a lot of people who heard about the monsters launching an ambush in Starlake, and without hesitation, they rushed to provide reinforcements.
"Great." “
"The real fight has just begun. Not only have we not lost, we even have a chance to launch a counterattack and find the mastermind of the abnormal beasts.
"I don't care who you are.
"Tonight will be the day you die. This place will be the day you die!"
Meng Chao opened his eyes swiftly.
The depths of his eyes were filled with killing intent that came from the apocalypse.
He retreated to the other end of the balcony and sucked in a deep breath. Then, he went into a crouching starting position.
"Let's go!" “
It was as if two crystal bombs had exploded under his feet. They blasted two holes in the sturdy reinforced concrete floor of the balcony. Meng Chao instantly reached his maximum speed, and in just 1.7 seconds, he carried his heavy equipment and crossed the entire balcony. Then, without any hesitation, he jumped into the air and soared into the air like a roc with its wings spread.
He flew dozens of meters.
He did not rely on the 3D mobile suit and just his body to jump to the balcony of a slightly shorter building that was dozens of meters tall.
He did not stop there. In fact, he did not even roll to reduce the force. The muscles, blood vessels, and spirit tattoos on his legs popped out at the same time. His knee joints and ankle joints seemed to have turned into springs that were both hard and soft. They turned the force of impact into a driving force that propelled him forward at high speed. He continued charging forward and jumped from the balcony of the second building to the balcony of the third building, which was even shorter.
Just like that, after jumping a few times, Meng Chao arrived at the edge of the smoke-filled area.
Ahead of him was a collapsing building.
At that moment, a father with a child in his arms was climbing out of a distorted window with great difficulty.
He used a bed sheet to tie himself and his child tightly together. Then, he used his hands and feet to slowly climb down the steep and slanted wall to the ground.
But the overall structure of the building could no longer hold on after the continuous attacks.
"Kacha kacha, kacha kacha!"
Terrifying cracking sounds came from within the building.
Then, another violent tremor rose.
The father slipped and fell from the edge of the building.
Below him were ruins that were covered in smoke.
He did not know whether there were terrifying monsters lurking there.
Meng Chao threw caution to the wind and jumped toward the father with the child in his arms.
They were too far away from each other, and there was no place for him to use as a foothold in the air. Meng Chao had already reached the highest point and was about to fall.
He threw two chain sabers at lightning speed.
One of the chain sabers pierced the slanted roof.
The other chain saber bound the father and his child.
Meng Chao exerted strength in his arms and swung, sending the two of them to relatively flat ground.
The father was confused and still in a state of shock.
When he saw the chain sabers floating in the air and Meng Chao, he realized what had happened. He smiled as if he had just survived a disaster and waved at Meng Chao to express his gratitude.
Meng Chao was just about to signal the father to take the child and run out of the smoke.
The building above their heads finally could not hold on any longer. The roof shattered, and large pieces of reinforced concrete fell on the father and child on the ground.
"Careful!"
Meng Chao's face turned pale with fright.
But the floor above his head where the chain saber had pierced also shattered. For a period of time, he lost his foothold and his balance.
He wanted to jump to where the father and child were, but there was no time for him to do so.
At that critical moment …
The reinforced concrete that weighed several tons was about to crush the father and child into meat pies.
The ground under their feet suddenly started trembling in a strange manner. A stone dragon shot out of the ground and sent them more than ten meters away.
Boom!
The reinforced concrete came crashing down and stirred up a huge cloud of dust.
Meng Chao landed on the ground and rushed into the depths of the dust regardless of the cost.
He saw Lu Siya spitting on the ground with a gloomy look on her face. Her spit was filled with dust.
"Th-Thank you …"
The father had been saved twice in a row, and he was so terrified that he could not even speak clearly.
The child in his arms started bawling.
"You don't have to thank me. This is what we should do as superhumans. After all, superhumans fight for human civilization. The blood of the strong flows for the weak!"
When Lu Siya turned around, she had already put on a smile. She took a step forward and gently caressed the child's head. She said gently, "Don't cry. Trust me. I'll chase away all the monsters!"
Meng Chao did not know whether her words were effective or whether her talent as a Spirit Sensor allowed her to control spirit energy accurately and soothe the child's vitality magnetic field.
The child stopped crying and looked at Lu Siya with curiosity and admiration.
"Go. Listen to me and run to a safe place outside. The Red Dragon Army is already here, and more superhumans are on their way. You'll be fine. Dragon City will be fine!"
She rolled up her sleeves and swung her fists. "As for me, I'm going to teach those monsters who bullied you a lesson right now! “
Once she said that, the child's gaze stuck to Lu Siya like glue. He was reluctant to move even half a step away.
"Big sister, what's your name?" the child asked in a childish voice.
"I'm … a superhuman!" Lu Siya smiled sweetly.
Meng Chao watched his father and son leave, and his mouth hung so wide that a goose egg could fit in it. He stared at Lu Siya with an incredibly strange gaze.
"Are you really Big Sis Ya?"
He asked in disbelief, "Could it be that you've been controlled by an abnormal beast, or that you're a monster in disguise? Why didn't I realize before that you cared so much about the lives of ordinary people? “
"The lives of ordinary people have nothing to do with me. But there's a camera here."
Lu Siya pointed at the camera on her shoulder and smiled. "I have a feeling that this time, we'll have the chance to contribute to the world. We'll definitely receive countless commendations and a lot of interviews. If the reporters and citizens find out that we had such a small incident while we were carrying out our mission and that we risked our lives to save people, did a good deed without leaving our names behind, and even said the two bold words that the Survival Committee is currently promoting, wow, if we don't become model superhumans, all the citizens won't agree to it!"
