They bent their backs and moved through the narrow and craggy underground tunnels, which were as dense as a spider's web.
They could hear the footsteps of their pursuers all around them.
There were a few times when the pursuers seemed to be only one wall away from them.
With the strength of superhumans, breaking through a wall was as easy as tearing a newspaper.
They could only lie on the ground and use the cold water in the underground tunnels to cool their bodies while they prayed that the pursuers would hurry over them.
There were also a few times when A 'Ji led the way like a headless chicken, and they seemed to have reached a dead end.
But every single time, there would be light at the end of the tunnel, and a gap that they could squeeze through would appear.
They did not know how much time had passed, but the trio gradually forgot about their pursuers.
It was dead silent all around them. They were dozens of meters underground, which meant that they were around the seventh or eighth floor.
"Huh? What's this?"
A 'Ji suddenly pointed at a dark wall and asked.
Meng Chao groped around carefully and relied on the uneven feeling to find a rusty hidden door embedded in the wall.
The hidden door had a complicated combination lock.
But it was not a problem for A 'Ji.
Meng Chao used his spirit energy to shake off the rust on the door lock.
A 'Ji fiddled with two metal wires, and soon, he heard a click from inside the hidden door.
A brick protruded out from the wall by the side.
Meng Chao pulled out the brick and a chain.
He pulled the chain, and the hidden door slowly opened.
Inside was a shelter that had been abandoned for a long time.
Even though it had been sealed for decades, the air was still flowing, and it allowed them to catch their breath for a while.
Meng Chao went in and closed the door. He had A 'Ji and Su Mulian listen outside.
The soundproofing of the shelter was pretty good, so they could interrogate them.
The three of them tossed the unconscious' military advisor 'into the hole.
Meng Chao thought about it and had Su Mulian stay by his side. Then, he told A 'Ji to curl up in the broken fridge in the corner.
It was only at that moment that he could carefully inspect the "military advisor" to make sure that he did not have anything that could harm him.
There was no barcode tattoo on the back of his neck, and there was no wound under his armpit. It was impossible for him to be a former Reaper Squad member.
Based on his appearance, he did not look like a lost person on the bounty list.
"Can you heal him?"
It was only then that Meng Chao asked Su Mulian. "He doesn't need to fully recover. He just needs to be able to answer our questions."
Su Mulian nodded. She pressed her hands against the military advisor's temples gently, and spirit tattoos that looked like branches appeared on the back of her hands. A gentle green light surged in her palms, and wisps of it seeped into the depths of the military advisor's brain.
Half a minute later, the "military advisor"'s eyelids twitched.
It seemed that he was still pretending to be unconscious.
But he could not endure the aftereffects of the concussion.
With a roll, he flipped over and leaped up. However, he immediately lay down again. Propping himself up with both hands, he started to retch violently.
After vomiting for a long time and almost vomiting bile, he turned around and scanned his surroundings vigilantly.
When his gaze landed on Meng Chao, he clearly shuddered.
When he saw Su Mulian's light green skin and pointy ears, his pupils shrank, and he could not hide his shock.
Su Mulian was the third most important person in Leprosy Village, and she was second only to the old village chief and Wild Wolf.
If this person was really a middle or higher management member of the gangs, he should know her. At the very least, he should know what Ms. Mulian looked like.
"Name and job," Meng Chao said.
The 'military advisor' gritted his teeth and snorted coldly. He did not answer.
Meng Chao sighed.
He poured out harvesting blades, lancet knives, all sorts of poisonous and corrosive monster materials from his military-grade backpack, and eight survival tools with hooks, spikes, hinges, and pliers were placed in front of the 'military advisor'.
"Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between us. Perhaps you're just being deceived by someone and aren't my true target," Meng Chao said sincerely but helplessly.
"But my time is limited, and I don't have the time to be pestering you. So, if what I do next will make you experience pain worse than death, please don't be offended. I'm forced to do this.
"Fortunately, we have the best doctor. No matter how badly I torture you, she will be able to heal you and carry out the second round of torture."
As Meng Chao spoke, he picked up a harvesting blade and quickly cut the back of the 'military advisor's' hand.
He held back his strength. While the 'military advisor' looked like he was bleeding, he did not injure any bones or tendons.
Even so, the 'military advisor' still sucked in a sharp breath.
Meng Chao gestured at Su Mulian. "Heal him."
Su Mulian frowned a little.
It was as if she did not want to go against her nature and help Meng Chao extort a confession.
But when she thought about the villagers in Leprosy Village and the abnormal beasts' scheme, she gritted her teeth and quietly held the 'military advisor's' hand.
Ten seconds later, she let go. The wound on the back of the 'military advisor's' hand had already healed without needing any medicine.
Apart from the fact that the newly grown skin was somewhat tender and there were still bloodstains around it, there was no difference at all.
The 'military advisor' widened his eyes. He was shocked by how amazing Su Mulian's healing skills were.
But a thought appeared in his head, and he immediately realized that such amazing healing skills might not be a good thing for him at the moment.
"Look, we'll keep you safe until you tell us everything."
Meng Chao's fingers moved over the harvesting blades, lancet knives, poisonous materials, acidic materials, and all sorts of strange-looking survival tools. He seemed to be hesitating about where he should start.
"If I pluck out all his teeth with my bare hands, do you have a way to put them back or grow them back?" he asked Su Mulian seriously.
Su Mulian shuddered.
The 'military advisor' shuddered even more than she did.
"Forget it. My mouth is leaking air, so I might not be able to hear what you're saying clearly. Let's start with the physical wounds." Meng Chao picked up three harvesting blades and spun them between his fingers to form more than one hundred saber glares that looked like white silk.
"My name is Song Jinbo, and I'm the manager of Glory Entertainment."
The 'military advisor' had been attacked by Meng Chao's Fear Bomb, and his mental defenses were already riddled with holes. He could already be considered a tough guy if he managed to last until then before breaking down.
The names of gangs like Golden Tooth, Poison Scorpion, Black Bone, and so on were all names that were accepted by the people.
To make it easier for them to manage and operate, the gangs would register themselves as legal businesses and associations so that they could run their gangs in a business-like manner.
Glory Entertainment was a company under Golden Tooth that was in charge of the monster coliseums and casinos.
The things that attracted the citizens of the outside world the most were the unique cooking skills of all sorts of monsters, the sharing of girlfriends, and the monster coliseums and underground gambling.
Those who could become the manager of Glory Entertainment were naturally the middle or higher management in Golden Tooth. In fact, they even had the chance to meet Saber Jin Wanhao.
Meng Chao and Su Mulian looked at each other. 'I finally see hope.'
"Manager Song, you should know that this morning, I received orders from the abnormal beast research department and secret police to follow a veteran hunter with a mega corporation background into the lair to investigate the Deification Capsules, right?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he asked, "We were clearly allies who fought together in the morning. How did you manage to mobilize the power of the gangs in less than twenty-four hours to kill me? Who gave the order? Does your gang leader, Saber Jin Wanhao, know about this?"
"Of course he does," Song Jinbo said stiffly. "It's the gang leader who personally gave the order to kill me."
"What?"
This time, Meng Chao was truly shocked. "Saber Jin Wanhao wants to kill me, and Poison Scorpion doesn't have anything to say about it. So many gangs are actively responding to it, and they're not worried about the reaction from the abnormal beast research department and secret police? That's impossible! "
Song Jinbo smiled coldly.
"Meng Chao, stop putting on an act. Did you think that no one knew what you did? Everyone saw what you did. Now, be it the lair or the outside world, everyone sees through your true colors. No one will believe a single word you say!"
Song Jinbo gritted his teeth. "Since I'm not as good as you, I'm willing to admit defeat. You can kill me or torture me as you please, but it's impossible for me to betray Golden Tooth and the lair!"
His righteous words stunned Meng Chao for a long time.
"Wait, I'm certain that there's a misunderstanding between us."
Meng Chao frowned. "As a passionate citizen of Dragon City, I often do all sorts of good deeds. Which one are you referring to?"
Song Jinbo quirked his eyebrows and said fiercely, "You killed Bullet Xue Rui!"
"…"
Meng Chao was dumbfounded.
Bullet Xue Rui was a veteran hunter who belonged to an insurance company under a mega corporation.
He was also a member of the hunting squad.
When they were undergoing adaptive training outside the lair, Meng Chao had fought against him before. Their abilities in deducing bullet trajectories and deflecting shrapnel were incredibly high.
When Meng Chao rushed into Leprosy Village and fought against Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang for the first time, Bullet Xue Rui had arrived in time to intimidate the three lost people.
Later, Bullet Xue Rui was the same as Meng Chao. He was lost in the ruins of a super crystal bomb.
Since then, Meng Chao had never heard any news about Bullet Xue Rui.
"Xue Rui is dead?"
Meng Chao could not believe it, and he was incredibly angry. "But what right do you have to say that I killed Xue Rui?"
"Your acting skills are really good. It's no wonder why you were able to hide for so long and not reveal your true colors," Song Jinbo said coldly.
Song Jinbo said coldly. "Unfortunately, Rattlesnake Xiang Wei saw the entire process of you killing Bullet Xue Rui!
"At that time, Xiang Wei was caught in a huge explosion and was badly injured. He was then squashed under reinforced concrete and was unconscious for a long time.
"Fortunately, he was at the perimeter, so his vitals weren't injured, and he soon woke up.
"While he was struggling to crawl out, he heard your cries for help. From a distance, he saw that you were stuck in a broken wall and couldn't move.
"Xiang Wei naturally knew who you were. He was about to go up to help you, but Bullet Xue Rui appeared before him and wanted to drag you out of the ruins.
"In the end, when Bullet Xue Rui hugged you, you stabbed him in the heart. Your entire arm pierced through his chest!"
