Meng Chao returned to the other side of the roof and looked down at Leprosy Village.
It might be called a village, but in truth, it was a cluster of buildings that rose and fell all over the place.
It was as if someone had used reinforced concrete to fix a collapsed ruin in place and built new ruins on top of it.
It was also like a nest of pests, but magnified ten thousand times.
All of Leprosy Village was enveloped by faint purple, dark brown, and dark red smoke.
Since he grew up in Blessed Heavenly Garden, which was an old residential area, Meng Chao was very familiar with this sort of slightly pungent smoke.
It was the waste gas released by low-grade crystals that were mixed with a lot of impurities and poisonous substances because the reaction was not strong enough.
Compared to Blessed Heavenly Garden, the waste gas around and above Leprosy Village was ten times thicker. It practically covered the sky, making Leprosy Village look like a village that did not belong to this dimension but was built in the depths of hell.
By the looks of it, the crystals used in Leprosy Village were ten times worse than those used in Blessed Heavenly Garden.
It was the lowest quality energy source that even public buses would not use.
Of course, it would produce severe pollution and radiation, which would result in unpredictable consequences for the human body.
But Leprosy Village itself was the "unpredictable consequence" produced by the Other World continuously invading Earthlings.
To survive, they needed cheap energy source, so they could not care less.
Meng Chao found the trash-filled ditch that surrounded Leprosy Village under the heavily polluted fog.
Most of the trash had long since rotted away and turned into something that resembled the humus in the depths of the jungle. It was incredibly sticky and smelly.
But more trash was thrown in, and it formed small mountains that slowly rose and fell on top of the humus.
Quite a number of Leprosy Village children swam past the humus without a care in the world. They climbed up the mountains of trash and picked out the resources that still had some value.
And from the deepest part of the humus, there were countless thick, wriggling vines with sharp thorns on them.
The vines climbed up the ditch like creepers and climbed all the way to the walls of the buildings in Leprosy Village.
The colorful, mottled, and dilapidated buildings became even more strange and twisted. They looked like monsters that were rotting and struggling on their deathbed. It presented a completely different style compared to a normal residential area.
'This place … is really troublesome!'
Meng Chao frowned.
All of Leprosy Village was shrouded in heavily polluted fog, so it was difficult to observe and scan the situation inside.
The difficulty of completing the mission and the sacrifices they had to make would definitely increase greatly.
He shifted his gaze to the small black market at the entrance of Leprosy Village.
Leprosy Village villagers and normal lair citizens did not come into contact with each other and traded goods.
The entire black market was divided into two sides, with rows of huge storage cabinets on each side, as well as manually controlled gears and conveyor belts.
The supplies brought by the rollerbladers were placed in the lockers or on the conveyor belts.
The Leprosy Village villagers would naturally personally turn the gears and bring the necessities and raw materials needed for cultivation to them.
The gene medicine they created in Leprosy Village and the weapons they modified until they were beyond recognition and had their damage increased by ten times were also exported to the outside world through this method.
In this way, the two sides would not interfere with each other, and the possibility of conflict would be reduced.
When Meng Chao got closer to Leprosy Village, he saw quite a number of villagers. They were the descendants of the zombie virus infected.
Most of the villagers used wide cloaks or bandages to cover themselves tightly.
However, from the overly large and bloated bodies of some of the villagers, it was obvious that they were different from ordinary humans.
At the very least, normal humans would not grow to be more than 2.5 meters tall and have a shoulder width of more than one meter.
Some of the villagers carefully removed their cloaks to test the armor, fighting suits, and all sorts of personal weapons sent to them from the outside world to reveal their true faces.
Perhaps it was because they had reproduced for two or three generations, and their mutated genes had slowly stabilized, so they were not as deformed and monstrous as Meng Chao imagined.
Some of them had the same facial features as normal people. They only had indigo or red skin.
Some of them had really fair skin and were even more handsome than normal people. Only their ears were perked up, and they had fangs at the corners of their mouths to show that they were the descendants of the infectees.
Some of them were short and built. They did not look like midgets, but like Hercules who had been compressed to half their original size. Muscles that weighed more than one hundred kilograms were compressed to less than 1.23 meters tall. Their bodies were covered in hair that looked like steel brushes. When they jumped around, they looked like small steel cannons that would explode at the slightest touch.
Some of them had faint scales on their arms, and there were signs of parotid glands on their cheeks. By the looks of it, compared to land, they were more suited to living in the water.
Some of them even had four arms and could use them flexibly. They could lift four guns at the same time, and their firepower was twice that of a normal person's.
When Meng Chao saw the legendary descendants of the infectees, he was a little stunned, and a strange sense of familiarity rose in his heart.
'Why do I feel like the descendants of the zombie infectees are similar to the indigenous humans who have been living in the Other World for millions of years?'
The relationship between Earthlings and the Other World people was not something he needed to investigate right now.
What Meng Chao was worried about was that based on the memories from his previous life, many of the Other World's human-like races had inborn abilities that were similar to monsters. Even if they had never cultivated, they still had rather fierce fighting strength.
He wondered how the fighting strength of the villagers was.
At that moment, more than ten shining dots appeared in the 3D map that represented the terrain around Leprosy Village in Meng Chao's retina.
"The powerful fighters from the clubs in Golden Tooth Lair are here," Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong told everyone.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong told everyone. "There are a total of thirteen Heaven Realm superhumans. Aside from Saber Jin Wanhao, all the elites in the lair have come out."
There were twenty Heaven Realm elites in the hunting squad.
Together with the elites from Golden Tooth Lair, they had a total of thirty-three Heaven Realm elites. Their lineup was definitely grand.
Even if their target was an Apocalyptic Beast or a Deity Realm elite, they were confident that they could fight.
Besides, the normal club members might not have high cultivation realms, but they had the advantage in numbers. They were also equipped with quite a lot of light and heavy weapons, so they quietly surrounded Leprosy Village.
The veteran hunters could finally heave a sigh of relief as the vantage points and strategic locations were set up with ferocious firepower.
At that moment, the rollerbladers transporting raw materials arrived at the entrance of Leprosy Village.
Big Brother Knife Chen Hao, who was at the perimeter of the lair, also received a new email from the mastermind.
There were only two rows of numbers in the email.
The first row was the number of the locker.
The second row was the password to open the locker.
The rollerbladers stuffed the bag with the locating chip into the locker.
All the veteran hunters stared at the locker.
The club members who were skilled in unorthodox methods and were familiar with the lair released more than one hundred rats that had been biochemically modified and had chips and electrodes implanted in their brains.
These rats had mini cameras and sensors on their backs.
Under the humans' remote control, they snuck into the humus, crossed the trenches, and searched for the sewage outlet.
No matter how isolated Leprosy Village was, there was still a lot of domestic waste and industrial waste that needed to be discharged.
It was very difficult for humans to move around in poisonous and corrosive water, but the rats that had been biochemically modified could.
And the biochemical rats had super sensitive sensors on them. They could detect the minute components of more than one hundred raw materials within the shortest amount of time.
Soon, the rats snuck into Leprosy Village through the sewage pipes.
They also sensed the components that could be used to create Deification Capsules in the industrial waste water.
The deeper they went into Leprosy Village, the higher the density of the Deification Capsule raw materials in the sewage water.
Quite a number of pests that lived in the sewage pipes showed different degrees of excitement, as if they were affected by the residual liquid from the Deification Capsules.
The biochemical rats' breathing, heartbeats, and other physiological parameters also showed abnormalities.
This was enough to prove that the Deification Capsule pharmacy was hidden in Leprosy Village.
At that moment, the bag in the locker was taken away.
The person who took the bag was a small and thin child.
He should have played the same role as the rollerbladers.
Soon, he disappeared into the mist and left the veteran hunters' surveillance.
But the chip in the bag could locate his coordinates in real time and scan the terrain around him.
Even though it was limited by the transmission power and the 3D map it scanned was very blurry.
But if the biochemical rats traced the source and found the coordinates with the highest density of the residual liquid from the Deification Capsule, they could basically locate the Deification Capsule pharmacy.
"With the locating chip and the biochemical rats, we've already scanned 30% of Leprosy Village."
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong looked at Meng Chao and whispered, "Once we've scanned more than 50% of the area, we'll get a general idea of where the Deification Capsule pharmacy is and set up three attack and retreat routes. Then, we'll rush in. Do you have a problem with that?"
"I have no problem with that."
Meng Chao shook his head, then said hesitantly, "But Senior Zhou, I've gone through the entire capture operation, and I still don't think there are some things that make sense.
"First, why would the mastermind choose someone like 'Brother Knife' Chen Hao to work for him?
"No, no, no. I'm not talking about loyalty. Traitors who are chased out of gangs naturally don't have any loyalty. Anyone who is tortured will spill the secrets of the mastermind.
"I'm saying that Big Brother Knife's characteristics are too obvious. His arms have been replaced with sharp blades, and his legs are crippled. When he walks, he limps. It's hard not to recognize him.
"With how cautious the mastermind is, shouldn't he have looked for someone who is more normal, less eye-catching, and easier to hide? Big Brother Knife is a low-level hooligan, and he's not a rare talent. At the very least, he shouldn't be in charge of showing up in public and receiving people!
"On the way here, the more I thought about this, the more I couldn't understand it. Big Brother Knife seems like the mastermind intentionally placed him under the spotlight so that we could discover him!"
