"If those people really brought over heavy artillery and poisonous gas, even if all the villagers were armed to the teeth, would they be able to protect them?" Meng Chao sneered.
Meng Chao smiled coldly. "Wild Wolf naturally knows this. That's why if he wants to fight for the villagers' survival, he only has one choice, and that is to lead all the villagers out of this troublesome place.
"But here's the problem. The gangs outside just lost dozens of elites in the explosion. They also know that there's a terrifying enemy lurking in Leprosy Village. Will they just watch the villagers rush out like a tidal wave?
"You have to understand that the enemies, including the abnormal beasts, lost people, and former Reaper Squad members, might be among the villagers and turn the lair into a mess!
"That's impossible. Leprosy Village and Golden Tooth Lair might have been fighting against each other for decades, but they've never interfered with each other. They don't even want to come into contact with each other when they trade with each other. Their wariness toward each other is incredibly strong.
"Besides, Dragon City is fighting at the borders, and the entire lair is locked down. If something really happens, the reinforcements from the outside world won't be able to arrive in time.
"To maintain order in the lair, the gangs have already entered full fortification. At this critical moment, they won't let the villagers run out.
"One wants to run, and the other won't let them. Conflict is inevitable, and as long as the villagers and the gangs fight against each other, the enemy will naturally fan the flames and take advantage of the situation!"
Meng Chao's mind raced. He wondered whether it was possible for him to leave Leprosy Village on foot and find the gang leaders.
If he could find the gang leader of Golden Tooth, the Underground Emperor Saber Jin Wanhao …
Or Golden Tooth's second in command, Red Brows Su Lun.
He could tell them everything so that they could make arrangements for the villagers and not intensify the conflict.
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he was unfamiliar with the lair, and all forms of communication had been blocked. By the time he found Golden Tooth, it would be too late.
Wild Wolf was already arming the villagers. Before long, he would escape with a large group of villagers.
Even if he wanted to think twice before he acted, since the Vortex had set up a series of interconnected schemes, it would definitely monitor Wild Wolf's actions and create all sorts of situations that would force Wild Wolf to turn all the villagers into a raging tsunami that would charge out regardless of the cost.
If the fully-armed descendants of the infectees really rushed out of Leprosy Village, they would definitely clash against the gangs stationed outside the village.
Meng Chao had personally seen just how terrifying the heavy weapons the gangs used to lock down Leprosy Village were.
Once a conflict broke out, both sides would go berserk, and even the gods would find it hard to save them.
Therefore, as the only person who had guessed the truth, he must not leave this place.
"We have to find Ms. Mulian first. She's the key to solving the problem."
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "Have you found out where she is?"
"Yes."
"Ms. Mulian isn't in the hospital. She's at the place we escaped from. She's near the collapsed building because of the explosion. There are a lot of casualties there, and she's treating them."
"Alright, we'll head over right away!"
Meng Chao turned around and left.
He moved as if he was flying, and A 'Ji had to use all his strength to barely catch up to him. He gasped for breath and said, "W-Wait! Uncle, you just said that Ms. Mulian is in danger. Why?"
"Let's walk and talk."
Meng Chao lifted the boy like an eagle catching a chick, and his speed increased by another level. "Based on what you said just now, Wild Wolf should be a radical who advocates brute force and is tough against the outside world. Ms. Mulian is a doctor, and doctors are benevolent, so she should be relatively gentle. She doesn't approve of Leprosy Village fighting against the outside world, right?"
A 'Ji was slightly stunned. He tilted his head and thought about it for a while before he nodded and said, "Yes. Wild Wolf always says that the people outside have bullied us for decades, and there's a limit to how much we can tolerate it. If we can't tolerate it anymore, there's no need to tolerate it anymore. The appearance and genes of the villagers aren't something we can choose. We don't have any original sins, so why can't we clench our fists, pick up our weapons, and defend our interests openly?
"Ms. Mulian rarely says such things. In truth, her personality is a little similar to the old village chief. When she speaks, she's always soft, gentle, and patient. No one has ever seen her get angry or lose her temper. In fact, sometimes, the patients will hallucinate because of the pain and accidentally hurt her, but she's never blamed anyone.
"I think that once Ms. Mulian learns about the village chief's death, she might be heartbroken, but it's unlikely that she'll fly into a rage, right? I just can't imagine how Ms. Mulian would fly into a rage. "
"Then my guess is correct," Meng Chao said.
"Now that the village chief is dead, the authority in Leprosy Village is in Wild Wolf's and Ms. Mulian's hands.
"Ms. Mulian might not be interested in the position of village chief, but she'll definitely go to Wild Wolf and give him some suggestions to calm him down. In fact, if necessary, she'll keep Wild Wolf's strength in check so that he won't act like a wild horse that's out of control and bring all the villagers with it. He'll end up destroying the carriage and killing everyone.
"There are still a lot of suspicious points about the village chief's death. Everyone believes in the second theory, and it seems to be true, but how did so many details reach the ears of so many villagers in an instant? "And it's impossible for the intelligence of the pursuers to be so low that they'd say something as crazy as using heavy artillery to destroy Leprosy Village. Do they really think that we're still in the lawless, dark era decades ago?
"We can't say that the current Dragon City doesn't discriminate against zombie virus carriers and people with genetic mutations, but in terms of the law, every human life is a priceless treasure. If they intentionally killed thousands of innocent people to complete their mission, it would be a crime against humanity. They would definitely face the harshest suppression and punishment from the Supernatural Tower and adjudicator court!
"If they calm down and think about these suspicious points, it won't be hard for them to find flaws in them.
"Even if Wild Wolf can't calm down, Ms. Mulian should have a way to make him calm down.
"And this is something the enemy doesn't want to see.
"Also, you mentioned that Wild Wolf was raised by the old village chief and is like a father to the old village chief. He also has a really good relationship with his granddaughter, Ms. Mulian. Wild Wolves even protect Ms. Mulian when she goes out to practice medicine. Then, I'm guessing that their relationship is similar to that of uncle and nephew. They're really close, and that's about the same, right?"
A 'Ji nodded. "Ms. Mulian does indeed call Wild Wolf Uncle Wolf."
"Good. The old village chief is the elder who raised Wild Wolf and protected him in the past, and Ms. Mulian is the nephew that Wild Wolf wants to protect," Meng Chao said.
"Let's say that the old village chief's death isn't enough to completely destroy Wild Wolf's rationality and make him so angry that he goes mad. What if we add Ms. Mulian to the mix?
"What if Wild Wolf's rationality is on the verge of breaking down and he suddenly hears about Ms. Mulian's death, and Ms. Mulian's death is related to the pursuers from outside?"
A 'Ji was dumbfounded. He stuttered, "Then … then Wild Wolf will completely break down."
"That's right. When a person is angry, they will ignore a lot of clues and do a lot of things that they wouldn't believe if they were sober," Meng Chao said coldly.
"I think that's what the enemy wants to see."
As they spoke, they took a detour and returned to the building where the Deification Capsule pharmacy was. They were near the ruins of the explosion.
The closer they got to the ruins, the more they could see the traces left behind by the explosion.
All the windows of the houses within a radius of hundreds of meters were shattered by the blast wave, and the steel pipes and scaffolding that supported the camouflaged buildings were blown away. Even the layers of illegal buildings fell down. The residents inside did not even have the time to scream before they were smashed into a bloody mess and died.
Even the buildings that still stood crookedly had been burned by the flames. Their facades were mottled and colorful.
This place was like a dark forest that had been burned by wildfire.
The air was filled with a strong burning smell, making people have to blow their nose every few breaths, otherwise their nostrils would be clogged.
There were also spots of will-o '-the-wisps rising up from the heat wave and floating above the black dome of smoke.
There were still a lot of Leprosy Village villagers gathered there.
Most of them had homes in the ruins, or had relatives buried under the rubble.
Even though they knew the chances were slim, they still dug mechanically, futilely, and numbly.
Although most of the villagers had more or less signs of abnormality on their bodies.
Their expressions were the same as those of normal citizens who had lost their homes, which Meng Chao had seen countless times before.
When he saw the villagers' hellish appearances, Meng Chao instinctively clenched his fists inch by inch.
Since half of his soul had returned from the apocalypse, he could view the Monster War more objectively than the people of the current era. He could also calmly write One Hundred Ways to Destroy Dragon City and treat the clash between human civilization and monster civilization as a survival game that would pit them against each other.
Then, the scene in front of him made him hate the Vortex from the bottom of his heart.
Even if it was a war to exterminate civilizations, this sort of method was beyond despicable.
"Look, Uncle, Ms. Mulian should be over there!"
A 'Ji pointed at a flag fluttering in the heat wave next to the ruins in the distance.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and saw countless villagers surrounding a temporary white tent. There was a flagpole in front of the tent, and a blooming wooden lotus flower was drawn on the flag.
The wooden lotus flower was as elegant as a lotus flower, noble and holy.
But it was a tall tree that could take root on granite and sandy rocks. Its trunk was straight and sturdy, and it had great vitality.
"That's great! Looks like Ms. Mulian is fine!"
A 'Ji cheered. He felt really lucky.
Before his voice faded away, the sound of the motorized armor's crystal engine roaring at full speed came from above them.
