Meng Chao did not mind Lu Siya freeloading off his fame or creating her image.
In any case, Sky Pillar Minerals had poured real money into the residential areas around Blessed Heavenly Garden. All of it was turned into electric fences, turrets, light machine guns, and rocket launchers in the neighbors' houses.
If this was fishing for fame, then it would be impossible.
He could not wait for all the superhumans to bring out their real money to fish for fame and praise!
In any case, with Sky Pillar Minerals' great support, the defense systems in Blessed Heavenly Garden and the residential areas around it were upgraded and connected to become a forbidden monster zone.
As long as a monster horde was not formed by more than one hundred Nightmarish Beasts, they would definitely not be able to break through the iron wall that was covered in fangs.
Meng Chao could finally bring his family to his new home with a peace of mind.
There were a total of twenty-nine floors. Meng Chao's house was on the twenty-second floor. It was more than 130 square meters, and it had three bedrooms and two living rooms. There was also a small meditation room that was not too big. The three rooms faced the south, and the sun shone brightly. The air was clear, and they could see the bustling city of the new development area. They could also see the Supernatural Tower that towered into the clouds.
Even though the residential area's exterior and environment were not as luxurious as Dragon City No.1's and the name did not stand out, since it was located on Lucky Street, it was called Lucky Home.
But there were anti-aircraft bases hidden in the four corners of the residential area, security teams equipped with six heavy infantry fighting vehicles, attack drones, and self-thinking spider fighting vehicles that could be seen everywhere, and they gave the residents a sense of security.
There was also a large gas pipeline from the depths of the mining area to the north of Shattered Starlake to the main city area. After it was pressurized twice, it was connected to Lucky Home, and spirit energy entered the residents' houses. Superhumans did not need to leave their houses to sit in stances, meditate, and cultivate. Normal people could also stay in an environment with a lot of spirit energy. They could live longer and be immune to all diseases.
The people living in the other buildings were the internal members of the abnormal beast research department. Aside from personnel, administration, finance, information analysis, and other non-fighting positions, around half of the neighbors were investigators who had fought in hundreds of battles. All of them had fighting strength above average, and they helped each other. Naturally, they were not afraid of abnormal beasts' ambushes. They could also often exchange experiences and spar with each other. It was the most suitable place for Meng Chao, who had just entered Heaven Realm and was in a hurry to stabilize his cultivation realm.
As for Meng Chao and the others, they said that they were selling the building to the public, but the people who could get the quota to buy the building were all experts in their fields or people who had made outstanding contributions to Dragon City.
The owner of House 2202,2201 was a researcher from the monster research center. It was said that he had a deep understanding of flying-type monsters.
The owner of 2203, on the other hand, was a veteran hunter who had been fighting in the fog for more than twenty years. He had even worked with Nie Chenglong to search for satellite towns and rescue the lost Earthlings.
Even though he was old and had to leave the battlefield due to his injuries, his rich fighting experience still gave Meng Chao great inspiration.
What satisfied Meng Chao the most was that Lucky Home even had its own school bus. It could send the children in the residential area to their respective schools. The residents who had awakened to supernatural abilities in the residential area also took turns to be in charge of escorting the bus and ensuring the children's safety on the way.
The management of the experimental class where Bai Jiacao was in was very strict, and she usually had to stay in the school. As one of the three super high schools in Dragon City, the teachers were naturally strong people who had killed tigers and dragons. They were not afraid of being attacked by abnormal beasts. Now that he had solved the problem of sending the children to school twice a week, Meng Chao no longer had any worries!
He helped the businesses and the community build bridges, joined the follow-up investigation of the Noble Descent Hotel ambush, learned Celestial Soul Visualization from Professor Lu Tianxing, worked with the weapons manufacturing department of the abnormal beast research department and the runic symbol master's workshop to provide his fighting data to create brand new weapons that could withstand the power of Heaven Realm, took time to join the activities of the Broken Star Club, which was getting stronger by the day, and joined Blue Home's activities as the thirteenth committee member. Finally, he had to solve the problem of moving … Meng Chao was so busy that he could barely breathe. Another month went by.
The repercussions of the fierce battle in the south of the city finally calmed down.
The casualty statistics that night were released. A total of 7,741 Dragon Citizens, soldiers, and superhumans died or sacrificed their lives. Hundreds of houses were destroyed and polluted, and the direct economic losses reached nearly ten billion yuan.
This was one of the greatest tragedies Dragon City had suffered over the past ten years.
But the citizens' sacrifices were not for naught.
Most of the residential areas and strategic facilities were protected.
Humans also captured a lot of the new zombies and undead alive.
Due to the tireless efforts of the medical experts, serums, vaccines, and neutralizing agents that targeted the new zombie virus and Blood Flower spores were created one after another.
The Red Dragon Army, related departments, and various superhuman organizations also summarized their experiences and lessons, and they came up with a lot of fighting rules that targeted the new zombies and undead.
Humans became stronger as they sacrificed themselves.
They believed that the next time the new zombies and undead appeared, humans' iron fists would definitely strike them head-on. They would pluck out their fangs and claws so that they would work for humans forever to make up for their losses.
The public memorial ceremony for the 7,741 sacrifices was held in the public square in front of the Supernatural Tower.
More than one hundred thousand citizens filled up the public square, and in a solemn atmosphere, they paid their highest respect to the sacrifices.
Meng Chao also joined the public memorial ceremony with the members of the abnormal beast research department and Special Investigation Group 9.
After the public memorial ceremony ended, all the members of Group 9 received a collective second-class merit during the commendation ceremony because they found the abnormal beasts' mastermind and discovered the abnormal beasts' scheme.
Since Meng Chao and Lu Siya were the first to rush into Noble Descent Hotel, they each received a Grade Two Star Medal from the Supernatural Tower.
The medal system in Dragon City was mainly given out by the Supernatural Tower, the Red Dragon Army, and the Survival Committee. The Star Medal, Cannon Medal, and Dragon Medal were given to superhumans, soldiers, and normal citizens respectively.
The medals were divided into five grades: iron, bronze, silver, gold, and the most honorable blood medal. It was linked to different benefits and rewards.
In truth, with Meng Chao and Lu Siya's contribution in killing the Demonic Abyss Eye, they were definitely worthy of getting a blood medal.
But there was an unwritten rule in Dragon City that only those who sacrificed themselves heroically or suffered irreversible injuries that left them with sequelae of being unable to take care of themselves had the right to receive a Grade One blood medal.
This was the principle behind the word "blood" in the blood medal.
Meng Chao originally coveted the blood medal.
Then, he heard about the deeds of the martyrs who received the blood medals.
During the fierce battle in the south of the city, a total of nine blood medal recipients appeared.
The first martyr came from the city's public transport company. He was not a superhuman, but a normal bus driver.
The bus route he was in charge of ran through the south of the city, and it was the place with the most zombies and the undead.
It was the peak hour when people got off work.
His bus was full of passengers, and it looked like a sardine can that was filled to the brim.
In the end, a zombie appeared on the road ahead of him.
The bus driver was a soldier from the Red Dragon Army, so he had a lot of experience. He made a prompt decision and did not brake or retreat. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator and rammed into the zombies.
All the buses in Dragon City were equipped with armor, and many of them had sharp corners in front of them. The tires were also filled with flexible materials and were explosion-proof. In an instant, a few zombies were torn to shreds and reduced to pulp.
However, there was a fish that slipped through the net. It agilely jumped in front of the windshield of the bus and used its hard skull to repeatedly hit the tempered glass. After a small hole was made in the glass, it sprayed acid containing the new zombie virus at the driver's position.
Even though the bus driver used his skilled driving skills to slam on the brakes and fling away the zombie on the front of the bus, he instantly drove it away and swept it under the bus.
Unfortunately, he was also infected by the zombie virus.
Through the surveillance cameras in the bus, they could clearly see that in the next three minutes, he changed very quickly.
His eyeballs were bloodshot, and the line between his pupils and sclera became blurry.
His blood vessels that were as thick as earthworms also popped up from under his skin, which was gradually turning green and black. They were wriggling madly like real earthworms.
His teeth and fingernails grew longer, and wisps of black smoke spread out from them.
His chest caved in, and his abdomen swelled up. It was as if his organs had been invaded by the zombie virus and turned into a completely different organ system.
His transformation caused the passengers to cry out in surprise.
It has to be known that the bus was still traveling at high speed, and there were new zombies and undead everywhere outside. In this sort of situation, whether the bus went out of control, crashed into a wall, or stopped abruptly, or even if the driver unbuckled his seatbelt and attacked someone, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But …
Even though the heroic bus driver's body was being invaded by the virus and he was turning into a deformed monster, his will kept him firmly in the driver's seat and his duty.
But his will pinned him firmly to the driver's seat and his responsibility. He still controlled the steering wheel steadily and maintained a uniform speed as he drove at high speed. He knocked down and crushed the zombies and the undead until the bus reached a safe region. Then, with the Red Dragon Army's rapid reaction force protecting him, he switched gears, stopped the engine, and pulled the handbrake.
At that moment, he had already turned into a zombie.
But even when the last passenger was safely evacuated, he did not struggle free of his seatbelt and leave his seat.
A small seatbelt was naturally not enough to restrain the killing instincts of a new zombie.
Through the surveillance cameras in the bus, the passengers could clearly see the resistance on his face and the struggle in his body. They could also see the two armies of humanity and bestiality fighting fiercely.
In fact, when the people checked the bus afterward, they found that the steering wheel had long since been snapped.
There were also several bones in his body that had been forcibly torn apart by two forces that came from different directions in his body.
It was hard to imagine just what sort of tenacious will and professional ethics he used to fight against the invasion of his brain by the virus.
In the end, humanity won against bestiality.
