Meng Chao's heart instantly leaped into his throat.
Zhou Chong whispered by the side, "It's fine. The secret police implanted the best biochemical chips into the two robbers. The raw materials came from the crystalized neurospheres and periosteum of monsters. They won't be discovered by the metal detectors."
Just as he expected, rustling sounds came from the other side, and Big Brother Knife snorted. "Come in."
The two robbers finally relaxed and quickly said, "Thank you, Big Brother Knife! Thank you!"
Then came the sound of the door being closed and locked.
Based on the sound, the door was very thick and might have been armored. There were at least three locks on it, and there was a high possibility that the door was connected to high-voltage electricity or explosives.
Based on Big Brother Knife's name and the characteristics of his voiceprint, the identity of the informant was obvious.
"Chen Hao, a former member of Poison Scorpion. He's in charge of the gambling and loan business at the periphery of Bloody Claw Coliseum. He's smart and forthright, and he has a lot of friends in the lair.
"One and a half years ago, because he worked with other people to manipulate the gambling for personal gain and infringed upon Poison Scorpion's interests, he was punished by the gang rules.
"Originally, this sort of act of benefiting himself at the expense of others should have made him disappear from the face of the earth.
"But because someone with power pleaded for him, he was only crippled of one of his arms and legs. Then, he was chased out of Poison Scorpion and left to fend for himself.
"Chen Hao hired someone to install a shimmering mandible on him and continued living in the depths of the lair. That's how he got his title of Big Brother Knife.
"But he angered Poison Scorpion and had one of his arms and legs crippled. It's impossible for Chen Hao to be as glorious as he was in the past. At most, he can only wander the lawless areas controlled by the gangs and lick the leftovers left behind by the gangs. He's at the bottom of the gray food chain in the lair.
"But over the past few months, he's suddenly been spending lavishly. Quite a number of gang members saw him spending a lot of money in the black market and buying monster materials that are worth cities. Some people also saw him treating his old friends and the core members of the gangs to a meal.
"Some people suspect that Chen Hao has found a powerful backer.
"Since his actions never touched the interests of the gangs, no one was interested in getting to the bottom of it. In the lair, aside from curiosity killing the cat, it might even kill the whole family."
Within ten minutes, the information was converted into nerve signals through the wireless network and appeared on the retina of Meng Chao and the veteran hunters.
Along with it were a few blurry photos.
The Chen Hao in the photo was a middle-aged man with a thin body and a slightly hunched back, but he exuded a sharp aura like a machete.
His sinister expression and the gigantic scythe that replaced his right arm gave him a feeling that no one should get close to him.
There was also a video in which he leaned against the wall, limping like a water snake.
"Big Brother Knife, Chen Hao has been in Poison Scorpion for more than ten years. He was a lackey who delivered chips to the periphery of the coliseum, and he became the host of the gambling. He knows a lot of people from all walks of life and is familiar with every corner of the lair."
Zhou Chong thought about it and said, "If I were the mastermind, I would need a local tyrant in the lair to show his face for me."
At that moment, a new voice came from the house.
One of the two robbers asked, "Big Brother Knife, when are you going to bring us to meet the boss?"
This question lifted the spirits of the veteran hunters.
The "boss" the robbers mentioned might be the mastermind who sent them the emails, gave them medicine and equipment, and guided them to complete the crime.
Meng Chao's heart raced. He knew that the "boss" was most likely the Vortex!
Big Brother Knife snorted coldly. "What? Are you in a hurry to meet the boss?"
"Of course."
The other robber did not hear the wariness in Big Brother Knife's voice. He said foolishly, "The boss is just too amazing. His plan helped us fool the secret police. Even though quite a number of our brothers died, with our statuses, it's worth it even if we were to be executed for making so many superhumans suffer so much!
"We want to meet the boss and personally thank him. We also want to ask him about his next step. We can't wait anymore. We want to eat more Deification Capsules and fight to our heart's content!
"But I don't know when and where the next operation will be. Right now, the situation outside is very tense. The warehouses and labs of the major companies have all been on high alert. It might be difficult for us to take action within a short period of time!"
"That's not something you should be asking about. Knowing too much won't do you any good," Big Brother Knife said coldly.
He paused for a moment and could not help but add, "It doesn't matter whether the situation outside is tense or not. Just rest well. There might be a major operation soon."
"Soon?" The two robbers were stunned.
One of the smarter robbers registered what he meant and immediately said, "I get it. Boss, are you saying that we're going to attack the targets in the lair?
"That's right. The black market in the lair, the secret warehouses, and labs of the gangs will definitely have a lot of cultivation resources. Quite a number of supreme-grade items that are worth cities might not be found outside. We'll rob them under the boss's orders!
"The best thing is that the gangs in the lair have always been averse to outside forces infiltrating the lair. Even if we're robbed, we'll be robbing them. They won't report it to the police!"
The other robber said hesitantly, "But I heard that Golden Tooth Lair's Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao is very powerful. If we're captured by him, we'll definitely end up in a worse state than if we're captured by the secret police."
"Jin Wanhao is already in his seventies or eighties. Underground Emperor? He's just an old dog who's struggling at death's door in the depths of the lair. The boss even managed to make the secret police lose their bearings. Jin Wanhao is just a dead dog in front of him!"
The first robber slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, Big Brother Knife. As long as the boss gives the word, even if we have to climb a mountain of blades, jump into a frying pan, or cut Jin Wanhao into pieces, we won't say anything!"
Big Brother Knife was silent for a while.
No one knew whether he was shocked by the two robbers' arrogance.
Or whether it was their stupidity.
In the end, he said, "Both of you, wait here. Eat something first and recover your strength. I'll send the goods to the boss and get someone to treat your wounds. Once you're fully recovered, you can move at any moment."
"Thank you, Big Brother Knife."
The two robbers said at the same time. "I don't care about anything else, but we need Deification Capsules. We need more Deification Capsules!"
Big Brother Knife did not answer.
The soft sound of a door being opened and closed came from the other side of the room.
The hunters looked at each other, and they saw the grave look in each other's eyes.
The most troublesome thing was about to happen. The mastermind with the codename Vortex was going to attack the gangs in the lair next.
If hundreds of crimes exploded at the same time in a place like Golden Tooth Lair, it would definitely stir up a chain reaction. Not only would the gangs descend into chaos, there might also be countless lost people who had been lurking for more than twenty years who would become restless!
"The mastermind wants to send the monster materials the two robbers stole to the boss. There's a high possibility that he's going to use them to create Deification Capsules," Zhou Chong said quickly.
"Mo Lan, Xue Rui, try to get close to the target. See where he's sending the monster materials to!"
A few veteran hunters entered the beehive-like underground from different entrances of a few nearby buildings.
Even if he had the powerful spatial analysis and navigation abilities of a Heaven Realm superhuman, as well as the sharp senses of a Body Hair Monster, when he arrived at the underground, which was as complicated as a maze, he still felt dizzy.
Fortunately, Big Brother Knife had a limp. To hide it and maintain his balance, he wore a high-heeled boot with steel plates embedded in it. When he walked, it let out cracking sounds, and it was very easy to recognize him.
Soon, Mo Lan saw Chen Hao.
She did not stop. Instead, she quickened her footsteps and brushed past Chen Hao. She seized the chance to lock her gaze on the bulging thing under his cloak. It should be the wilderness survival backpack the two robbers had brought into the lair.
Xue Rui immediately hid in the dark and observed where Chen Hao went from a distance.
Chen Hao did not leave the building.
He just went up a spiral staircase that looked like a vertical well and arrived at the third floor above ground. Then, he entered a room.
Since the staircase was too narrow and could only allow one person to go up and down, neither Mo Lan nor Xue Rui dared to follow him in case Chen Hao became suspicious.
But based on Chen Hao's footsteps, they could more or less figure out the number of the room he entered.
"Should we force our way in?"
Multi-armed Bear Hong Li was eager to try.
"Wait, let's watch a little longer."
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong thought about it for a while before he said, "The mastermind doesn't seem to be hiding here. This place is too close to the first meeting point, and it's not even in the same building. Also, I haven't detected any Deification Capsules in the underground waste water. The ventilation and drainage conditions aren't good either. It doesn't seem like a secret pharmacy.
"I suspect that this is just a transit station. We can't alert the enemy. Let's wait a little longer and see who comes out of this place."
Zhou Chong was right.
Soon, someone left the room Chen Hao entered.
But it was not just one person. Instead, nine people wearing skateboarding shoes, hooded cloaks, and goggles jumped down from the window on the third floor of the building. Sparks flew from the pulleys under their feet, and with the agility of apes, they charged in all directions.
They seemed to be able to ignore gravity and move 360 degrees in the alleys and alleys.
Some of them even shot out grappling hooks and rope darts from their wide sleeves. They grabbed the bulges of the building and instantly dragged them to the top of the building that was dozens of meters tall. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the lair.
Meng Chao and the veteran hunters could see clearly that the nine rollerbladers' cloaks were bulging, as if they were carrying a huge backpack for survival in the wild.
