"Unfortunately, they still managed to escape."
Meng Chao frowned and stared at the building where the Deification Capsule pharmacy was.
It was a building that was around eighty meters tall. The style was crude and black, and it looked like a fortress made of iron and steel.
It was the typical product of Earthlings who had just transmigrated to the Other World and treated civilian buildings as fighting fortresses to fend against zombies and monsters.
In the decades that followed, the building was expanded, modified, and fortified, just like most buildings. Gradually, it became one with the buildings around it.
Then, they dug underground and created a large shelter. It was like an ant nest or a hornet's nest, and it was connected to all directions. It was very complicated.
All the windows at the perimeter of the building were blocked by bricks and steel plates. Only small holes for shooting were left.
Even if there were windows, it was useless, because aside from the rooms at the perimeter of the square building, at least three-quarters of the rooms were squeezed in the center. There were no windows at all. At most, they relied on shafts and ventilation pipes to connect them.
It was easy to imagine just how difficult it was to capture and destroy zombies, monsters, the undead, robbers who took Deification Capsules, wanted criminals who lost their minds, and even the Vortex hiding in this place.
At that moment, many of the veteran hunters and powerful fighters from the clubs entered their attack positions.
When they personally saw how large and complicated the building was, they sucked in sharp breaths, just like Meng Chao.
"Is it possible to reduce the building to rubble?"
Multi-armed Bear Hong Li represented everyone and gave a simple and crude suggestion.
"Impossible."
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong thought about it for a while before he shook his head and rejected the very tempting suggestion. "That's right. With the strength of the thirty-three Heaven Realm superhumans, we might be able to destroy the building if we release the strongest and most destructive spirit energy magnetic field we can.
"But there's still a long distance between destroying the building and turning it into rubble.
"The buildings built during the early stages of transmigration are the sturdiest. At that time, Earthlings had to face the mysterious world filled with zombies and monsters. No one knew how long they had to stay in the buildings, so they treated the buildings they lived in as their final refuge and their only home.
"Apart from the reinforced concrete on the surface, the interior also uses a frame structure, supported by a large number of steel beams. Even if it completely collapses, it will only form semi-independent ruins.
"With Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang and the others' survival abilities, the collapse of the building alone might not be able to kill them. The dust stirred up by the collapse of the building is their best cover. It'll be very easy for them to escape during the chaos.
"But we aren't perpetual motion machines. Everyone's spirit energy is limited. If we use ourselves as heavy cannons and bombard them without restraint, we will soon run out of spirit energy. We will need a long time to cool down and recover, and it will be very easy for enemies hiding in the dark to ambush us.
"Besides, the underground space of this sort of building might be even larger than the space above ground. Even if we flatten the area above ground, the target might take all the Deification Capsules underground. At that time, the entrance to the underground would be blocked by the ruins, and it would increase the difficulty of our hunt.
"Finally, we have to consider that not all the robbers and murderers are in this huge building. There might be innocent Leprosy Village villagers living there.
"There's no room for petty kindness on the battlefield, but if we know that there are a lot of villagers living inside but take the initiative to use a heavy method to flatten the building, causing the innocent villagers to die, what will the villagers who survived think of us, uninvited guests?
"The Leprosy Village villagers are a very unique group of people among the tens of millions of citizens in Dragon City. You can say that while Dragon City is developing rapidly and the sun is shining brightly, they are among the few who have not been touched by the sun.
"They've always been wary of the outside world, and it's very easy for them to be bewitched and used by the monster civilization. We can't give the monster civilization an excuse to brainwash them. Otherwise, even if the Deification Capsule pharmacy is completely destroyed, new problems will appear!"
It was reasonable for Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong to be the captain of the hunting squad.
Zhou Chong instantly analyzed the pros and cons. He decided to enter the tiger's den and carry out the most brutal street fight in the building.
Many veteran hunters charged straight at the building from all directions, from the sky and from the ground.
Fierce firepower shot out from more than ten windows above their heads.
Unfortunately, normal bullets fired by normal guns could not even break a Heaven Realm superhuman's spirit energy shield. They could not even scratch an itch.
The result of exposing the firing points was that Bullet Xue Rui, the other snipers, and the Gun Fighting Style martial artists, who occupied the high ground, used anti-material sniper rifles and special bullets embedded with crystals and runic symbols to kill them.
Bang!
Bang!
Xue Rui and the other snipers did not fire quickly.
But every bullet, entangled by spiritual energy, turned into a roaring shooting star. As if they had grown eyes, they crawled into the holes the size of fists and let out deafening explosions inside.
Colorful flames spewed out of the firing holes, and soon, more than a dozen firing points were completely silent.
Meng Chao and the other hunters seized the chance to rush into the building from different entrances.
Fierce people like Multi-armed Bear Hong Li did not even need an entrance. With a punch, they created a huge hole that was more than two meters in diameter in the reinforced concrete. Then, they jumped in.
Meng Chao crawled in through the hole Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang and the other two criminals had escaped from.
At the moment he entered the building, he crouched down and crawled on the ground like a four-legged snake. He used the rise and fall of his abdominal muscles to move quickly on the ground.
Just as he expected, two powerful gusts of wind swept past him from the left and right at the same time. There was a thick stench in the air.
Meng Chao did not even look up. With a Scorpion Swings Its Tail, he kicked upward diagonally. Two sharp blades shot out of his combat boots, and with a crack, he cut something.
Based on the feeling of the collision, Meng Chao determined that the blades were stuck in some sort of scale.
The rich experience he gained from killing tens of thousands of monsters instantly turned into instinctive reactions. It allowed him to adjust the angle of the blades at the bottom of his boots, and through the spirit meridians in his legs, he injected two waves of spirit energy into the blades, causing the saber glare to become ten times brighter. Then, like a red-hot table knife cutting through a cream cake, he sliced through the enemy's scales.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Blood gushed out of Meng Chao's head.
He ignored it and rolled all the way to a corner. Then, he got up and turned his head around to look. He saw two Steel Needle Pythons. He had already cut their throats and cervical vertebrae. Only a thin layer of flesh was left connecting their heads and torsos, and they were dancing a dance of death in a frenzy.
Steel Needle Pythons had given Meng Chao a lot of trouble during the practical test of the national college examination.
At that time, he needed to gather all his strength and intelligence, plan carefully, and even set up traps before he could kill one Steel Needle Python.
But now, he only needed to swing his saber casually.
The appearance of the Steel Needle Pythons meant that the Deification Capsule pharmacy was indeed related to the monster civilization.
The mastermind was most likely the Vortex from Meng Chao's previous life!
'Vortex, let me see your true colors!'
Meng Chao's sparkling eyes illuminated the dark corridor.
They also illuminated the spiral staircase hidden at the end of the corridor.
His sharp senses after he reached Heaven Realm allowed him to hear a lot of rapid breathing and heartbeats from the rooms on the sides of the corridor.
He could also hear the faint sounds of bullets being loaded.
He could even use the difference in body temperature and room temperature to form blurry figures through the doors and walls. He could also accurately calculate the time and method of their attacks.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and went into a crouching start.
Then, with a speed that surpassed the limits of a four-star superhuman, he charged forward!
Whoosh!
His speed instantly surpassed the reaction speed of the enemies hiding in the rooms on the two floors of the corridor.
They did not even have time to open the door before it was torn apart by the ripples created by Meng Chao's spirit energy tearing through the air.
And they did not even have time to place their hands on the triggers or the hilts of their weapons. Meng Chao moved to his left and right and fired hundreds of harvesting blades into the more than ten rooms on the sides of the corridor.
As if they had eyes, hundreds of blades cut the tendons in the hands and feet of the ambushers, making them fall apart like puppets whose strings were cut. They fell limp on the ground.
Meng Chao turned his head around and saw faces filled with despair, regret, or confusion.
Based on their appearances and clothes, they were robbers who had been bewitched by the Vortex and had fled to the lair over the past few days.
However, they were not the fiercest among the robbers.
Instead, they were people who had their bodies drained and were incredibly weak due to the side effects of taking Deification Capsules during the robberies. Some of them were heavily injured when they fought against the secret police. In any case, they were no longer suited to take Deification Capsules.
Since they could not increase their fighting strength through the Deification Capsules …
To the Vortex, these bandits no longer held any value to it.
They could only be casually tossed aside and used as cannon fodder to stall for time.
Meng Chao looked away.
He did not intend to waste even a second on these people.
He strode forward and arrived at the spiral staircase.
It was a staircase, but it was also a shaft used for ventilation. He could feel cold wind blowing down from above and into the top of his head.
When he looked up, he saw darkness. There were a few sparks that looked like the eyes of monsters. They seemed to lead to the top of the staircase.
However, there were intersecting steel rods embedded in the middle of the spiral staircase. They formed metal fences that prevented the powerful fighters from using maglev to fly up.
Meng Chao did not doubt that the other party had also hung a lot of anti-monster grenades and other explosives on the metal fences.
They wanted to make the powerful fighters who wanted to use brute force to charge up suffer a little.
But this was not a problem for Meng Chao.
He grinned, and dozens of harvesting blades flashed between his fingers.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. He flicked his fingers, and the dozens of blades turned into dozens of silver flowing lights that shot toward the metal fences between the spiral staircase.
