"Time is limited. I'll give you three seconds to make two choices."
Meng Chao continued using the blade to scratch the leader's carotid artery. He coughed and said, "One, quietly pee your last drop, come with me, talk to me, and do me a small favor. Two, scream at the top of your lungs, and I'll cut your windpipe, carotid artery, and vocal cords before I quietly drag you away. You still have to talk to me, and do me a small favor.
"Of course, since you won't be able to make a sound in the second choice and can only gesture and write, it will make the entire matter very troublesome.
"So, cough, I personally hope that you choose one. What do you think?"
The leader's eyes moved, and he saw the sharp blade on his neck.
He shuddered and raised a finger.
"Very good. Now, you can continue peeing," Meng Chao said.
"Holding it in isn't good for your body."
He patiently waited for the leader to shake himself clean before he brought him back to the building where he had set up the ambush through an empty path.
Since he kept coughing on the way, the blade left eight bloody gashes on the leader's neck. The leader was so terrified that his eyes popped out, and he did not dare make a sound.
The "wound" on Meng Chao's abdomen continued bleeding as he coughed, staining the leader's urban camouflage fighting suit.
"Sit."
When he returned to the room, A 'Ji and Su Mulian had already hidden themselves.
Meng Chao leaned against the door and sat down. He panted harshly and swung his saber randomly. He looked exhausted.
The gunpowder and crystal powder he had taken just now had taken effect. At that moment, his eyes were sunken, and he was drenched in sweat. He looked like he had used up all his strength.
The leader's gaze shifted. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"You're from Poison Scorpion?"
Meng Chao saw the scorpion tattoo on the back of the leader's hand.
"Poison Scorpion, Dong Sibao." The leader touched the bloody gash on his throat.
His vocal cords were injured by Meng Chao's killing intent, so his voice was very hoarse.
"I'm sorry. The situation is unique, so I could only do this."
Meng Chao looked at Dong Sibao. "You know me?"
The gangs in the lair received support from the mega corporations in the dark.
Poison Scorpion was a power that was second only to Golden Tooth in the lair, and its backer was Sky Pillar Corporation.
The first time Meng Chao entered the lair, he had gone with Lu Siya to search for clues regarding the abnormal beast murders. At that time, he had asked a minor leader of Poison Scorpion to act as his guide.
During the Noble Descent Hotel ambush, Meng Chao fought alongside Lu Siya and killed the Demonic Abyss Eye.
This matter was carefully packaged by Sky Pillar Corporation, and it became Lu Siya's glorious achievements as the model superhuman. After social media platforms and propaganda organizations repeatedly bombarded it with information, it reached the point where all of Dragon City knew about it, and everyone was familiar with it.
Of course, Lu Siya did not forget about Meng Chao.
Regardless of whether it was because she valued her friendship with Meng Chao, because she saw his potential, or because she hoped to fight for the middle and low class citizens' market that Meng Chao represented, she liked to tie herself together with Meng Chao in all sorts of promotional activities.
Even if Meng Chao was training in the wild and did not have the time to promote the brand, she often mentioned Meng Chao and created the image of a loyal and affectionate person.
Besides, Meng Chao's family's Superstar had indeed worked closely with Sky Pillar Corporation through Lu Siya and her father.
In the eyes of Poison Scorpion, Meng Chao and Sky Pillar Corporation should be considered as half a strategic partner.
Hence, when he noticed that Dong Sibao was from Poison Scorpion, Meng Chao sighed in relief.
Just as he expected, Dong Sibao nodded and answered honestly, "I do. You're Meng Chao."
"Good. Then, do you know that I'm a non-staff member of the abnormal beast research department and that I stopped the abnormal beast's scheme in Noble Descent Hotel half a year ago?"
"I do."
"Then, do you know that a hunting squad entered the lair this morning to hunt the abnormal beast related to the Deification Capsule? The members of the squad are all veteran hunters with mega corporations backing them up, and I'm one of them? Besides, this hunting squad has the support of all the gangs in the lair. Even Saber Jin Wanhao gave us the green light and let us go. "
"I know. This morning, the gang leader personally gave an order for everyone to work with you unconditionally."
"That's great."
Meng Chao exhaled and said, "Then, you should believe what I say, right?"
"Of course."
Dong Sibao touched his neck and smiled wanly. "Mr. Meng Chao, I know that you're Ms. Lu Siya's friend. Honestly, you didn't have to use this method to invite me over. If you wanted to know something, you could have just called me.
I wouldn't have dared to refuse. "" I'm sorry. You know that a lot of things happened in Golden Tooth Lair today. Once everything settles, I'll definitely hold a feast and apologize to you. "
Meng Chao used his chin to point outside the window. "But even if there are monsters lurking in Leprosy Village, there's no need for them to bring such a huge ruckus. They seem to want to mobilize heavy artillery and blast the village to the ground, right? Brother Dong, what exactly happened? "
"I don't know either," Dong Sibao said.
"Right now, there's a major battle at the borders of Dragon City. There are monsters lurking in the lair, and they might cause major destruction at any moment. Communication is also being severely disrupted, and the leaders' expressions are getting darker and darker.
"The higher-ups told us to bring everyone here to be prepared for battle. We didn't dare to say anything. We were just following orders."
"Alright, since you don't know, I'll tell you," Meng Chao said.
"There's indeed a really smart abnormal beast lurking in Leprosy Village, but its target isn't just Leprosy Village. It's targeting all of Golden Tooth Lair.
"I've already gained a general understanding of the abnormal beast's scheme. I need to report everything to Saber Jin Wanhao and have him send the information.
"I know that you might not be able to meet Saber Jin Wanhao directly, but I still need you to report my presence to the highest-ranking person in charge you can find. Have him come here to me as soon as possible. Can you do that?"
Dong Sibao stared at the wound on the left side of Meng Chao's abdomen and nodded. "Sure. I'll have someone notify the vice gang leader now and have him bring a doctor to you."
"No, the information I brought is very important. It might decide Golden Tooth Lair's survival. Right now, I don't know who I should trust. Brother Dong, can I trouble you to personally go to Poison Scorpion's headquarters and tell your vice gang leader?"
Meng Chao asked seriously. "I'll be counting on you!"
Dong Sibao hesitated for a moment before he nodded. "Alright, I'll immediately go to Poison Scorpion's headquarters!"
"Thank you."
Meng Chao smiled. When he saw the messy bloody gashes on Dong Sibao's neck, he felt a little embarrassed. He thought about it and decided to turn his saber around and hand over the hilt. "I'm sorry for what I did just now. Why don't you stab me a few times to vent your anger?"
Dong Sibao smiled as well.
"You must be joking, Mr. Meng."
He removed his thigh bag and unzipped it to reveal the medical fluids and battlefield suturing machines inside. "I'll go now. I'll leave these emergency medicines and tools for you. You can deal with them yourself first. You have to hold on, Mr. Meng!"
"Thank you. Go, Brother Dong."
Meng Chao gripped the medical bag tightly and gave Dong Sibao a weak smile.
Dong Sibao left the building in a hurry. A 'Ji and Su Mulian immediately jumped out.
"Big Brother Chao, can this guy be trusted?" A 'Ji asked with a frown. It was clear that he had an objection to Meng Chao's actions.
"Of course not."
Meng Chao instantly regained his sharp expression. He narrowed his eyes and poured out the items in the medical bag Dong Sibao left behind. He gathered his spirit energy on his fingers and squeezed the medical bag carefully. He paid special attention to the interlayer and hidden pockets. He touched them repeatedly in search of the fine bumps and stitches.
Just as he expected, he flicked the harvesting blade and tore through the interlayer in the depths of the hidden pocket. Then, he brought out a chip that was only the size of a quarter of a fingernail.
"What's this?" Su Mulian asked in surprise.
"A locator chip," Meng Chao said coldly.
"If I bring this medical bag with me, no matter where I go, I'll be locked down by the gangs in the lair."
He did not seem to be surprised that Dong Sibao would leave a locator chip behind.
He tossed the medical bag to the side and brought out all the items he brought out of Leprosy Village from his military-grade backpack. Then, he started setting them up.
First, he used the Seven-star Wolf Spider's spider silk to set up a few tripwires on the doors and windows.
Then, he adjusted the smoke bombs and stun grenades to the most sensitive trigger mode before he carefully tied them to the tripwires.
There were also quite a number of monster materials that burned easily. Once they were burned, they would release a pungent smell that made it seem like they were poisonous, but in truth, they were not really harmful to the human body.
After a short five minutes of setting them up, the room turned into a trap filled with danger. It did not matter whether the enemy attacked from the window, the door, the ceiling, or the floor, they would experience an unforgettable experience.
"Let's go."
When Meng Chao saw the intersecting spider silk, smoke bombs, and stun grenades in every corner of the room, he nodded in satisfaction and said to A 'Ji and Su Mulian, "You've surveyed the terrain around here, right? Is there a place where we can see this room clearly from a distance? It's also well-connected, and it'll be easier for us to escape? "
As expected of A 'Ji, a professional Wealth Transferor.
Just as Meng Chao expected, he found the high ground Meng Chao wanted two streets away.
But he did not understand. "Big Brother Chao, you didn't trust this guy from the start?"
"That's right."
Meng Chao cast a glance at A 'Ji. "The situation is complicated. I don't trust anyone."
"Then, why did you ask him to bring people over? Why did you say that you would stay there and wait for them?" A 'Ji was puzzled.
"Based on the people he brought over, I can tell what attitude the gangs have toward me. From there, I can guess whether the abnormal beasts have completely infiltrated and controlled them," Meng Chao explained.
"If he only brought a handful of people, including doctors, it means that he doesn't harbor any ill will toward me and that I can trust him with reservations.
"If he agreed to it on the surface but mobilized a large group of elites to surround the building just now and even charged in without a word, we'll have to adjust our plan of action."
