There was a sudden coughing sound behind him.
Meng Chao turned his head around and saw that Lu Siya's face was red. She was pounding her chest with both hands, and her back was bent like a shrimp. She coughed so much that tears fell out of her eyes.
There was also an empty can of compressed nutrition at her feet.
"Why, why can you drink so much compressed nutrition fluid in one gulp without batting an eyelid?"
Lu Siya coughed for a long time before she glared at Meng Chao. Then, she cast a glance at the dozens of empty cans he threw on the ground. She was puzzled and gloomy. "Did you know that in ten minutes, you ate enough compressed nutritional fluid for a tactical squad in the military for a week?! “
"Um, ever since I was attacked by the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals under Raging Waves, my spirit meridians and appetite have become much bigger. “
Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Big Sis Ya, you didn't receive a lot of impact from the Red Radiance Jade tsunami at that time. Don't learn from me and eat the compressed nutritional fluid that hasn't been diluted!"
"… I'm more and more convinced that you are a monster. Why are you as vigorous as a tiger after only ten minutes of rest? You even seem to be reborn and stronger than before?"
Lu Siya snorted softly and continued. "No matter what, we've won our gamble this time. We saved a large number of transmigration experts, core members of Blue Home, and the rich people who invested in Project 101 from Noble Descent Hotel. These are all achievements and connections!
"We've also reconnected with the team leader. Since the result was' turning the tide ', it's not a big deal for us to' falsely report military intelligence '. The team leader will help us out.
"In fact, before we disconnected, Team Leader had already made the same decision as me, which was to place all his bets on you. Although the communication on the battlefield south of the city was very chaotic, he still did his best to find a large number of powerhouses and military commanders, which was why the reinforcements could arrive in time. “
When he remembered the scene just now, fear still lingered in his heart.
If the reinforcements had arrived three to five minutes later, the outcome would have been an entirely different tragedy.
Fortunately, over the past year or so, he had managed to ride the coattails of many people, set up the Broken Star Club, and befriended a lot of broken-star superhumans who were willing to fight on the frontlines. Word spread like wildfire, and in the end, he managed to stop the abnormal beasts' scheme.
"Now that I think about it, it's really unbelievable. “
Lu Siya said, "Aren't you a little too lucky?"
"Maybe it's because I'm always willing to help others and contribute selflessly?"
Meng Chao smiled and said, "Those who love to contribute will never have bad luck. “
Lu Siya pursed her lips.
"Big Sis Ya, you've contributed a lot today. “
"Without you, we wouldn't have been able to save so many people from Noble Descent Hotel. Thank you for fighting with me until the very last moment. “
"Don't say such mushy words. I'm getting goosebumps. You know, whether it's a normal person or a transmigration expert, their life or death has nothing to do with me."
"In my eyes, they are just achievements, connections, and stairs that can allow me to climb up the ranks."
"It doesn't matter."
Meng Chao was already used to Lu Siya's way of speaking. He shrugged and said, "No matter what your goal is, it's fine as long as you can save them. “
Lu Siya looked as if she was not used to Meng Chao thanking her sincerely. She changed the topic and said, "By the way, the pregnant woman just now is your friend, right? “
"That's right."
Meng Chao's heart leaped into his throat again. "How is Big Sis Xiao? Is she safe?"
"You sure have a lot of sisters."
Lu Siya paused for a moment before she said, "She's fine. She just gave birth to a pair of twins. Even though they're a little premature, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"What?!"
Meng Chao jumped up. "Big Sis Xiao gave birth, and she's here! No way! W-Can we go and see her?"
Meng Chao was in a sealed negative pressure medical room next door. Through a transparent bacteria-inhibiting film, he saw Xiao Fanghua lying in a sterile room.
Since she had inhaled too much poisonous gas on the battlefield and had some acid and poison on her, the military doctor was worried that the zombie virus or Blood Flower spores would invade her body and even turn the two babies into "evil babies". That was why he made sure that the room was sterile as if they were facing a great enemy.
Thankfully, the mother and children were safe. Perhaps it was because she had been practicing the Ultimate Style hard during her pregnancy, and her 1,024 branch meridians were filled with spirit energy, which allowed them to form a second immune system. Xiao Fanghua killed all the viruses and spores that invaded her body. She did not detect anything strange in her or her children's bodies.
This might be the best news of the night.
Xiao Fanghua was so tired that she could not even open her eyes.
When she saw Meng Chao, a sincere smile bloomed on her swollen face. She gestured with her hands and said, "Thank you, Meng Chao. You're their savior." “
There were a pair of children with pink and wrinkled skin lying in a small medical cabin meant for babies.
Honestly speaking, they looked a little ugly.
But Meng Chao smiled knowingly.
Many innocent people died tonight.
Many brave warriors died as well.
But during the monster horde's invasion, new lives were born as well.
At that moment, Dragon City was still shrouded in darkness.
Perhaps it would be the same tomorrow. The darkness would last for a long time.
But tomorrow would be the day after tomorrow. When these two children grew up, Dragon City would definitely welcome true light!
"Where's Old Zhao?"
Xiao Fanghua asked softly. "Meng Chao, do you have news about him? “
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other.
By the looks of it, no one had told Xiao Fanghua about Zhao Feixuan falling down the elevator shaft and his fate unknown.
As he stared at Xiao Fanghua, who was at her weakest, Meng Chao did not know what to say.
He could only clench his fists and promise Xiao Fanghua, "Big Sis Xiao, rest in peace. We'll definitely find Big Brother Zhao!"
Meng Chao's footsteps were a little heavy when he left the medical room.
As he stared at the burning battlefield, he clenched and unclenched his fists. Lu Siya knew what he was thinking.
There was no way Lu Siya would not know what he was thinking. She quickly said, "Seriously? You chased after the Ultimate Sandworm for ten days and ten nights, then jumped into its mouth in the underwater tunnel. Then, you ran through all of Dragon City in a hurry and went to Noble Descent Hotel to fight. Aren't you tired?"
"It's alright."
Meng Chao really wanted to say that after being nourished by more than one hundred thousand contribution points, not only did his fatigue and pain disappear, he also felt like he was hungry and thirsty.
He thought about it and said, "Even though we managed to save most of the transmigration experts, Professor Lu Tianxing, the soul of Project 101, is still missing. Besides, the mastermind of the abnormal beasts who planned this ambush is definitely lurking nearby. If we don't drag it out, we won't be able to accept it."
"But you don't have to do it yourself, right? “
"There are tens of millions of people in Dragon City. You're not the only one who can fight, you're not the only one with brains, and you're not the only one who can be a hero!
"We've already stopped most of the abnormal beasts' schemes and told the higher-ups about Professor Lu Tianxing's information as well as your theory about the abnormal beasts' mastermind. Right now, the elites from the abnormal beast research department, the military, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, Griffin Li Yingzi, and many other powerful fighters are monitoring and searching the underground tunnel.
"You don't know where Professor Lu Tianxing and the abnormal beasts' mastermind are hiding. If they're still nearby, sooner or later, the powerful fighters will find them. If they've already fled, what can you do? You don't have any clues on hand!"
"… True."
Meng Chao thought about it for a long time and had to admit that Lu Siya was right. "I don't think we can do anything. We can only leave it to fate."
"Then go back and continue eating your compressed nutritional fluid. Then, go to the medical cabin and have a good sleep. Take a comfortable bath and wait for the good news from the powerful fighters!"
Lu Siya said. "I don't care what you think. In any case, I can't be bothered to move a single finger."
Meng Chao nodded in resignation and walked to his medical cabin.
After taking a few steps, he saw the Blue Home members lying in the medical cabin beside him. They were all here to join the transmigration technology conference.
Suddenly, Meng Chao remembered something, and he came to a swift stop.
"Wait, Big Sis Ya, I noticed something really strange," Meng Chao mumbled.
"Did you notice that the monsters didn't attack Noble Descent Hotel indiscriminately? At that time, the guests in the hotel weren't just the experts, investors, and core members of Blue Home who were here to join the transmigration technology conference. There were also a lot of normal guests, waiters, and staff.
"If the monsters had slaughtered their way up floor by floor and killed everyone they saw until they were all dead, they wouldn't have been able to reach the higher floors in time.
"Now that I think about it, the monsters let most of the normal guests and staff go, but they went straight for the Project 101 members, especially Professor Lu Tianxing.
"Even when we were in the administrative lounge on the third floor, we only found the transmigration expert surrounded by the monsters. Many of the guests and staff members had long since escaped.
"My question is, how did the monsters manage to accurately locate the Project 101 experts?" Lu Siya was a little stunned.
She frowned and said, "That's not a question. Of course it's because the abnormal beast's mastermind knew the floor where the conference was held and the faces of the experts. It controlled the other monsters and saw them!"
"That's unlikely. “
"Most of the monsters that ambushed Noble Descent Hotel were insect-type monsters. The visual system of insects is different from humans, so it's very difficult for them to accurately identify a human's face. It's just like how when humans look at insects, they think that they look exactly the same.
"Besides, think about the battlefield at that time. It was filled with smoke and poisonous fog. In some places, there were only emergency lights, and in some places, even the emergency lights were destroyed. It was completely dark, and the humans' faces were covered in blood and dust. Even their parents wouldn't be able to recognize them. Are you sure that the eyes of insects can identify all the transmigration experts in such a terrible environment?
"Even if the insects with compound eyes can identify their targets, isn't it a little too ridiculous for the Giant Centipede, which is a half-blind creature whose eyes can only sense light, to be able to accurately locate their targets?"
