Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong was silent.
"Also, Senior Zhou, don't you think that this place is too calm?"
Meng Chao continued. "I know that the gangs in the lair want to create a calm atmosphere to confuse the mastermind, but they overreached themselves.
"Right now, the battle has already broken out at the borders of Dragon City. The news will definitely reach the lair, and the mastermind will definitely know when the monster civilization will launch an all-out attack.
"In other words, the mastermind knows very well that the people in the lair should be panicking right now. It's only logical that the lair is in chaos. The calm before us doesn't make sense at all!
"With the mastermind's cunning and wariness, the moment he sensed danger, he should have immediately moved. But why isn't there any movement in Leprosy Village?
"He didn't even check the bag of raw materials with the locating chip we sent and brought it to Leprosy Village just like that?
"There must be something wrong here.
"Trust me, Senior Zhou. We were too hasty. Think about it carefully. There were a lot of openings. If I were the mastermind, I would have hidden a remote control camera in the room where Big Brother Knife hid or implanted a chip that could monitor his physiological parameters. That way, I would have immediately known that Chen Hao had been captured!"
Zhou Chong stared at Meng Chao. "Are you suspecting that there's a trap in Leprosy Village?"
"I'm not suspecting it. I'm certain of it," Meng Chao said.
"The mastermind might be the most terrifying and cunning enemy we've ever encountered. There must be a trap in Leprosy Village!"
"I agree with you, and I believe that the command center will agree with you as well."
Zhou Chong first nodded, then changed the topic. He punched the air and said, "But even if there's a trap, so what? We have a total of thirty-three Heaven Realm superhumans on our side, and we can be said to be an unstoppable force!
"Of course the enemy has a trap, but even if it's a dragon's den, we've been forced into a corner, so we have to go in!"
Zhou Chong's determination affected Meng Chao.
When he thought about it carefully, he found that it made sense.
The thirty-three Heaven Realm superhumans were all hunters and martial artists who had gone through hundreds of battles. They were a grand lineup that could destroy everything.
So what if there was a trap? He could just push his way through.
It had to be known that in his previous life, Golden Tooth Lair was tormented by fire because the Red Radiance Jade mine exploded during the northern offense. All of Raging Waves was blown up, and countless powerful fighters died, which resulted in a shortage of superhumans. Their foundation was badly damaged.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and the veteran hunters had practically all participated in the northern offense.
If Meng Chao had not turned the tide, based on the original development, they would have died tragically in the Red Radiance Jade tsunami.
Even if they did not die, their spirit meridians would be destroyed by the spirit energy tsunami, and they would become useless.
Naturally, it was impossible for them to join Golden Tooth Lair's search and hunt.
In other words, in his previous life, the abnormal beast research department and secret police might have discovered the problem with the Deification Capsules and located the depths of Golden Tooth Lair.
But in his previous life, the abnormal beast research department and the secret police could mobilize were far inferior to the hunting squad in front of him.
Even if there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire in front of him, he could only move forward bravely!
At that moment, the command center sent him the latest battle report from the frontlines.
In the video, humans and monsters engaged in the most intense battle at dozens of strategically important spots and resource-rich areas at the periphery of Dragon City.
Smoke tumbled everywhere. Flames burned fiercely, and the world spun. Sand and stones flew everywhere.
Large, monstrous, rampaging beasts charged out of the flames and fog. They withstood the humans' powerful firepower and uprooted the semi-underground fighting fortresses. Then, they tossed the humans' armored fighting vehicles into the air and ravaged them as if they were matchboxes.
Nightmare level! Hell level! Apocalypse level!
Wave after wave of monster hordes attacked as if there was no end to them. They did indeed bring nightmares, hell, and the apocalypse to humans!
But even if they were surrounded by nightmares, hell, and the apocalypse …
It was not as if they could not fight back.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of long roars, deafening explosions set off blooming red lotuses that blotted out the sky and covered the earth on the battlefield.
Each destructive red lotus could spread more than one hundred meters away and turn all the monsters in its area of effect into fireballs, charcoal, and ashes.
There were also quite a number of rampaging beasts that were seven or eight-story tall and had shells that were as tough as super alloy. The anti-monster cannons on the main battle tanks could not damage them no matter what. They had been strutting around just now, but in an instant, half of their bodies were blasted off, and they fell to the ground like collapsed mountains of flesh.
This was a baptism of fire from the Red Dragon Army's heavy artillery to the south of Red Dragon River.
There were no carbon-based creatures that the 800-millimeter super railway guns filled with special crystal shells could not kill with one round of concentrated fire.
If there were, they would fire another round.
Of course, each round of fire from the super railway guns was like a stab to Dragon City's precarious financial budget.
It had to be known that monsters themselves were valuable resources.
The value of an Apocalyptic Beast was not much lower than a crystal mine.
If a Deity Realm superhuman used the most meticulous methods to kill an Apocalyptic Beast, they could usually harvest more than 90% of the resources around it.
But if they used the meteor shower from the super railway guns to blow up the Hell Beasts and Apocalyptic Beasts, only veteran harvesters like Meng Chao and Ning Shewo would be able to harvest at most 10% of the resources.
In the face of the overwhelming monster horde, the humans had no other choice.
The battle almost instantly reached its climax.
In fact, quite a number of Red Dragon Army soldiers and low-grade superhumans were surrounded by the monster horde, and their eyes turned bloodshot. They grabbed their crystal bombs and jumped into the monster horde to die together with the monsters.
Under the dual resistance from the humans' super firepower and unyielding will, the monster civilization, which seemed to have surrounded them from all directions, soon revealed that they did not have enough fighting power.
Once the cannon fodder formed by normal monsters was used up in quite a number of directions, the monster horde gradually thinned out and slowed down, even though the first wave seemed to have come with an aggressive momentum.
Clearly, the monster civilization could not launch a main attack from all directions. Most of the directions were just feints to confuse the humans.
"Since the monsters have chosen to die, we won't have to search for their nests all over the place," Nie Chenglong told Meng Chao and the members of the hunting squad.
"Right now, the Red Dragon Army and the Supernatural Tower have decided to rely on the current defense line and the heavy artillery in Jiangnan to fight a positional battle against the monster civilization. We'll use the automated war fortresses, unmanned vehicles, and remotely controlled thinking vehicles to whittle down the monsters' fighting power.
"Once we figure out the monsters' main attack direction and crush their might, our main force will move to the back of the monster horde and completely destroy them!
"At the same time, our Deity Realm superhumans are actively searching for and locking down on the Apocalyptic Beasts in the enemy's camp. We'll fight with numbers, and with the help of the super railway guns, we'll deal the greatest damage.
"You have to understand that ever since the frontline from Shattered Starlake to Raging Waves became the humans' home, the monsters have been retreating on all fronts for more than a year. This monster horde looks like they're staking everything on one attack. It's their final counterattack. As long as we can withstand it and even kill three to five Apocalyptic Beasts, the monsters will completely lose their ability to fight against humans in the wild, and we'll have the initiative in the battlefield!
"At that time, all of Monster Mountain Range will belong to us humans. The remaining monsters will have to hide in their nests and suffer from hunger while trembling in fear!
"Hence, the most important battlefield right now is the battlefield at the borders of Dragon City. The Supernatural Tower, the Red Dragon Army, the Survival Committee, the four research centers, the nine great mega corporations, and even the abnormal beast research department and secret police have to pour most of their resources and manpower into the fight between the Deity Realm superhumans and the Apocalyptic Beasts.
"Captain Zhou, I'll represent the frontlines and ask you again. Can you stabilize the situation here?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Chong gritted his teeth. "With us around, we won't let a single Deification Capsule leave the lair and cause chaos!"
They ended the communication with the command center.
The locating and scanning chip sent into Leprosy Village had already explored more than 50% of the area. It had formed the outline of the main streets and buildings in the depths of Leprosy Village.
This chip was destined to be discovered by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Hence, the hunting squad did not have any hopes that the chip could directly locate the precise coordinates of the Deification Capsule pharmacy.
Its use was only to guide the biochemical rats with cameras and sensors to the drainage pipes of the Deification Capsule pharmacy.
Just as they expected, after a few biochemical rats died, the remaining biochemical rats sent them good news.
They found a very well-hidden drainage pipe.
The sewage there was a faint, fluorescent green color.
It was the same as the Deification Capsules.
Near the sewage pipe, they also found some mutilated corpses of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
The incomplete carcasses were not full of bite marks.
Instead, they were charred black burns.
"The pests living near the drainage pipe are the same as the humans who took too many Deification Capsules. They're showing signs of spontaneous combustion?"
To be safe, a biochemical rat was controlled by a human remotely. It crawled to the spot where the fluorescent green color in the sewage was the thickest and started eating the green, glowing sewage.
Very soon, it started squeaking and waving its arms and legs as if it was having a cramp. The flesh and blood all over its body grew crazily, tearing apart its skin and leaving many shocking wounds. Its claws and teeth also became sharper and more dangerous.
In the end, flames gushed out of its throat, and in just a few seconds, its entire head was burned into a white skull.
The other biochemical rats recorded this scene clearly.
It was enough to show that the Deification Capsule pharmacy was above the drainage pipe.
