The nine rollerbladers wandered around the lair, which was like a maze, for a long time before they stopped at the same time.
Three of them stopped at gambling dens, monster coliseums, underground black markets, and other places with a lot of people. There were all sorts of people around them, and the air was foul. Someone might take their backpacks at any moment.
The other three stopped at the entrance of a really narrow alley. The alley could only accommodate two people walking sideways. The top of the alley was sealed off by illegal buildings, so they could not monitor or track them from above.
In the end, the three of them entered three buildings that looked like a maze.
Then, thick black smoke rose from the nine people at the same time.
They were smoke bombs!
The large outdoor survival backpacks they brought with them were filled with a lot of smoke bombs.
The slightly corrosive and poisonous black smoke gushed out like a monster baring its fangs. In an instant, it covered a circular area of ten meters.
Violent coughs and cries of surprise rose around the three rollerbladers who stopped in a crowded area.
The gamblers in the gambling dens, the spectators in the coliseums, and the customers in the black markets all turned into panicked headless flies.
People squeezed and crashed into each other. It was a mess, and there were more than one hundred hooded cloaks mixed together. It was difficult to tell who the rollerbladers the veteran hunters had been following.
The rollerbladers who stopped outside the narrow alley used smoke bombs to seal off the entire entrance. Then, they rushed into the depths of the alley at high speed.
If the veteran hunters wanted to chase after them, they could only break through the smoke.
But no one knew what was behind the smoke. There was a high possibility that they would be discovered the moment they rushed out.
The last three rollerbladers set off smoke bombs inside the three buildings.
These buildings brought out the full potential of humans' ability to compress space. The space that was the size of a shipping container could fit dozens of citizens. When the suffocating smoke spread out in this place, it was basically a disaster.
Quite a number of citizens coughed loudly with tears in their eyes. They cursed and flailed their arms as they fled from the buildings.
In their haste, they could not find the mastermind who set off the smoke bombs. The rollerbladers had long since disappeared behind them with their backs bent.
"Bastard!"
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong was shocked and angry. He did not expect that the other party would be so cunning.
This was definitely not Big Brother Knife's idea. It was a meticulous plan from the mastermind, the Vortex.
"After them!"
Zhou Chong narrowed his eyes. "We can't let any of them escape!"
Multi-armed Bear Hong Li, Snake Eye Mo Lan, Bullet Xue Rui, and the other veteran hunters could no longer care about hiding and disguising themselves. They activated their vitality magnetic fields to the max.
Their eyes shone brightly, and their hearing and smell cells were ten times stronger than before. They were able to gather the slightest scent of the rollerbladers in the air.
Like blood-eyed hounds, they parted the crowd, entered the smoke, and flashed into the buildings.
Meng Chao saw eighteen different scenes at the same time.
Four veteran hunters had already locked onto their targets.
Meng Chao's heart was filled with unease, and the warning signs became more piercing to his ears.
He felt that something was wrong.
Or rather, the other party's methods were somewhat familiar.
In his previous life, he seemed to have used similar methods to identify and get rid of his pursuers.
"Senior Zhou, something's wrong."
Meng Chao did not have time to think about it. "Perhaps the nine rollerbladers' backpacks are filled with smoke bombs. They don't have any resources at all. Big Brother Knife won't let the rollerbladers go to the mastermind. This is just an anti-tracking method!"
Zhou Chong was a little stunned. "What?"
"Since Big Brother Knife went through so much trouble and sent nine rollerbladers, it means that he doesn't completely trust the two robbers who came late. If that's the case, why would he send the real resources to the real mastermind's address?"
Meng Chao said quickly. "If I were the mastermind, I would have Big Brother Knife set up a few anti-tracking measures. For example, I would have intentionally sent nine rollerbladers with smoke bombs on their backs to nine fake addresses. Then, they would suddenly release the smoke bombs and leave at high speed.
"Then, I would have sent some observers to nearby corners and high spots to see whether there is anyone chasing after the rollerbladers regardless of the cost. Our attention is all on the rollerbladers, so it's impossible for us to scan all the drunkards, gamblers, and vagrants by the side of the road.
"If I can be certain that there is no tail behind the nine rollerbladers, I will have the tenth rollerblader send the real goods. I won't waste a lot of time, and my safety will increase by leaps and bounds!
"On the other hand, if there is a tail behind any of the nine rollerbladers, it means that Big Brother Knife has been exposed, and there's definitely something wrong with the two robbers who came late!"
Zhou Chong's pupils shrank to the size of two needles.
He put on a disbelieving expression and stared at Meng Chao for five seconds.
Then, he pressed down on the nerve signal receiver behind his ear and hissed, "Everyone, pay attention! Stop moving! I repeat, stop moving! Don't follow them anymore!"
His words instantly rang in the ears of all the veteran hunters.
But they were still one step too late.
Mighty Bear Hong Li had already torn through the smoke and entered the narrow alley.
But he noticed that the rollerblader he followed did not run away. Instead, he crouched behind the smoke and stared at him.
Hong Li wanted to pretend to be a normal lair citizen.
But when a normal citizen saw the pungent smoke in the alley, not only did he not run away, he even took the initiative to rush in. No matter how Meng Chao thought about it, it was strange.
Besides, Hong Li was built and had great bones. His arms were even thicker than Meng Chao's thighs, and they were bulging with bulging muscles. It made the loose hooded cloak look like a tight-fitting garment on him, and it brought out his triangular, brawny, and perfect body. The presence of a powerful fighter could not be hidden at all.
'We've been discovered!'
Meng Chao and Zhou Chong cursed at the same time.
And under their feet, through the reinforced concrete floor, the atmosphere in the room below was obviously tense.
Click, click, click, click. The sound of bullets being loaded rose nonstop.
There were also people who screamed, as if they could not control the power of a monster and were about to explode from their bodies.
"Big Brother Knife already knows that someone is following the rollerbladers he sent out!"
Meng Chao and Zhou Chong looked at each other.
They instantly understood each other's intentions.
They had no other choice.
They could only attack the robbers' nest.
"Crash!"
Zhou Chong punched the floor.
The spirit energy magnetic field of someone at the peak of Heaven Realm was like a super heavy pile driver. In an instant, it blasted apart the floor that was nearly half a meter thick.
The reinforced concrete shattered into hundreds of shattered stones, and like rain, they shot toward the thirty robbers downstairs.
The robbers were first blinded by the dust, then they were battered by the shattered stones. They sank into temporary chaos.
Meng Chao looked down and pounced on the robbers like an eagle.
While he was still in midair, his right arm swelled up. The joints of his wrist, elbow, and shoulder respectively let out crackling sounds. Every explosive sound was like a heavy wave, overlapping and converging on the surface of his fist.
This was the Ripple Force that had reached the peak of perfection.
Bang!
His first punch landed on the chest of a robber who held a double-barreled shotgun. The robber's sternum exploded, and his chest caved in. His heart, lungs, and other organs were reduced to mush. They gushed out of his mouth and nose, and he died on the spot.
Crack!
Before Meng Chao could pull his fist back completely, his right leg had already turned into a mountain-splitting axe made of steel, and it struck the second robber's waist.
The destructive power was like that of a penetrator. It shattered the robber's heavy bulletproof vest and strengthened ceramic plates. It also reduced his spine to powder, and his upper and lower bodies were completely folded together. Before he could even open his body, he stopped breathing.
There were at least twenty to thirty bandits.
There was a possibility that they had taken Deification Capsules beforehand and temporarily obtained the fighting power of Spirit Tattoo Realm.
Meng Chao had to end the fight quickly.
It was only then that he could prevent the robbers from hurting the innocent when they were driven to desperation.
Hence, he had to choose the most ruthless method.
Just as he expected, at the same time he killed two robbers, the third robber who had taken a Deification Capsule pounced on Meng Chao from behind like a mad demon and seized his neck.
Meng Chao's cervical vertebrae let out cracking sounds.
It was as if they were being strangled by a high-powered capstan.
The robber behind him growled like a beast, and a thick, burnt stench came from his pores.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and grabbed the robber's arms. He first yanked them hard before he squeezed them, crushing the robber's wrists.
The robber did not even have the time to scream. Wisps of strange flames crawled out of his orifices, wounds, and pores.
To fight against Meng Chao, who was at Heaven Realm, he had squeezed out all his life force, which far surpassed the limits of a human body that could spontaneously combust. Before Meng Chao could execute any methods, he burned himself to death.
Most of the robbers took Deification Capsules.
Some of them threw caution to the wind and took doses that were double or triple what a normal person could bear.
Their muscles swelled up, and their skin was torn. Fur and scales that resembled those of wild beasts grew out of their wounds. Their eyes were either red, yellow, or lingering. They shone with a light that could capture people's souls. Their killing instincts completely suppressed their rational thoughts. Even when they saw their companions spontaneously combust, they did not care about it. They howled and pounced on Meng Chao and Zhou Chong.
There were also a few robbers who brought out bound crystal bombs from their backpacks and tried to activate them before throwing them at Meng Chao and Zhou Chong.
If so many crystal bombs exploded indoors, it did not matter whether they could kill the two Heaven Realm superhumans. At the very least, the building, which was already swaying under the weight of more than ten illegal floors, would definitely not be able to withstand it. It would collapse.
Meng Chao sucked in a sharp breath. He swung his left hand and released a thin layer of starlight.
As it turned out, more than ten wasted harvesting blades, which were as thin as paper, flashed past the wrists and fingers of the three tough bandits in the weirdest curve, cutting off their nerves and tendons. The crystal bombs in their hands, on the other hand, smashed into the ground in a soul-stirring sound.
