As he spoke, Meng Chao's ears twitched. He heard rustling coming from outside the door of the shelter. It sounded like mutated rats scratching against the metal door.
Meng Chao thought about it for a while and said, "Ms. Mulian, please treat Manager Song. He suffered a severe shock just now and suffered a concussion. He also fainted twice. He might not be able to handle the upcoming situation in his best condition.
"There's still some food and medicine here. Eat as much as you can and conserve your energy. I'll go out and check the location of our pursuers. We should depart in at most fifteen minutes."
"Where are we going?" Su Mulian and Song Jinbo asked at the same time.
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "You'll know later."
Once he left the shelter, he closed the door gently.
In the dark tunnel, the rustling sounds that sounded like rats gnawing at something guided him forward.
Soon, he found A 'Ji behind a corner.
The boy from Leprosy Village had always looked disheveled and dirty.
But now, he was even more disheveled and miserable than when he was in Leprosy Village.
He was covered in a lot of blood, rust, and mud.
He looked like he had rolled around in trash piles, piles of corpses, and pipes that had not been repaired for a long time.
His face was bruised, and he was covered in wounds. When he saw Meng Chao, he felt so wronged that he nearly cried.
"Big Brother Chao, you're so disloyal! How could you leave me alone and run away with Big Sis Mulian and that Song guy? I don't care about Big Sis Mulian, but am I not as good as Song?" A 'Ji grumbled.
"I'm sorry. The situation forced me to do so. At that time, I didn't have time to care about where you were."
Meng Chao sized up the boy from Leprosy Village and noticed that the blood on his body did not belong to him. The seemingly terrifying wounds were just superficial wounds.
Meng Chao was not surprised. He stopped talking for a moment before he continued, "Besides, the enemy's target was me. It was only by luring the pursuers away that you could have the chance to escape. If they had insisted on searching for you, we might have died together."
"That's true."
A 'Ji thought about it and smiled. "I knew that Big Brother Chao is a loyal person and wouldn't abandon me.
"But I didn't drag Big Brother Chao and Big Sis Mulian down. I told you that I can take care of myself. No matter how many pursuers there are, they can only dream about catching me. No matter how complicated the underground maze is, I can still move about freely and return the way I came!"
"Looks like your participation in this operation is really a blessing."
Meng Chao smiled and asked, "How is it? Did you gain anything?"
"Of course!"
Ah Ji made a beautiful snap of his fingers.
Then, as if presenting a treasure, he dragged out two large tactical backpacks from behind him.
It was filled with weapons, ammunition, gene medicine, high-calorie nutritional fluid, emergency medical equipment, the identification badges of various gangs, three gas masks, and a lot of strange items.
Based on the scratches and bloodstains on them, A 'Ji should have stolen them from the battlefield.
Who knew how this thin boy from Leprosy Village, who looked like a reed stick, managed to steal so many things in a battlefield filled with weapons and bullets.
Meng Chao did not know how he managed to carry the two heavy backpacks several kilometers away under the pursuers' noses like an ant moving house.
However, with this equipment, Meng Chao's plan would be even more perfect, and the success rate would also be higher.
"Don't worry, Big Brother Chao, I've checked everything. There are definitely no tracking and locating chips in them. Besides, the spirit energy magnetic field interference in the lair is really bad right now. Even if there are chips, it'll be difficult for them to send information out. That's why these resources are all 'clean'!" A 'Ji said smugly.
"Amazing."
Meng Chao praised him in a seemingly unexpected manner. He gave him a thumbs up and said, "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'd find it hard to believe that a thief raised by an old thief in Leprosy Village would have such amazing abilities."
A 'Ji was stunned for a moment before he immediately said, "The children of the poor become masters of their families at a young age. The thieves in Leprosy Village are naturally stronger than the thieves outside. If they don't have good skills and dare to come out to embarrass themselves, they deserve to be beaten to death!
"Let's not talk about this for now. Big Brother Chao, these resources are just in passing. I was lurking in the pile of corpses just now, and I heard an important piece of news from the pursuers' conversations!"
Meng Chao's eyes sparkled. "What news?
"All of Golden Tooth Lair has entered the highest state of alert and has been fortified. Most of the gang leaders are gathered in Mutual Gold Coliseum to discuss their next step," A 'Ji said.
"Mutual Gold Coliseum is the newest coliseum in Golden Tooth Lair. It has the most advanced facilities, and it's also the largest coliseum. The gangs in the lair invested in it together and built it together. Mutual Gold means that when brothers are united, their sharpness can cut through metal.
"The biggest investor of Mutual Gold Coliseum is Golden Tooth. This coliseum isn't far away from Golden Tooth's headquarters. I believe that Saber Jin Wanhao must be there to command the situation during such a critical moment, right?
"Our goal is to find Saber Jin Wanhao and explain everything so that he can give the order to let the villagers out to seek refuge. Then, as long as we go to Mutual Gold Coliseum, we'll definitely be able to find the culprit!"
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he nodded slowly. "You're right, but I've been mistaken for a monster's puppet and a murderer. Since the powerful people in Golden Tooth Lair are gathered in Mutual Gold Coliseum, it's only natural that the defense is really tight. How are we supposed to get close to it? We can't just walk over, right?
"I'm just worried that before we get close to Mutual Gold Coliseum, we'll be discovered and turned into a sieve."
"That's not a problem. I'm here!"
A 'Ji slapped his chest and grinned. "I know a secret tunnel that leads straight into Mutual Gold Coliseum!"
Meng Chao looked at A 'Ji and waited patiently for his explanation.
"Last year, before Mutual Gold Coliseum was completed, I came here a few times," A 'Ji said quickly.
"At that time, the place was filled with construction materials, and the people going in and out were all over the place. It was a good chance for me to take action. I stayed in the unfinished Mutual Gold Coliseum for a few months, and I was even more familiar with the plants and cracks there than the construction workers.
"During the last time, I was too greedy and lost my head. I stole from a Spirit Transformation Realm superhuman, so he naturally noticed me and nearly killed me with one palm strike. Fortunately, I crawled into a maintenance tunnel that was like a dog hole in time. I took a lot of turns under Mutual Gold Coliseum and found a secret tunnel that allowed me to sneak into Mutual Gold Coliseum without anyone noticing.
"I was thinking that once Mutual Gold Coliseum officially opened for business, it would definitely be filled with people and earn a lot of money every day.
"It was a treasure trove, so I definitely wouldn't let go of this heaven-sent chance. I left behind marks that only I could understand around the secret tunnel. If it were anyone else, no matter how sharp their eyes were, they would at most think that they were scratches left behind by pests.
"When I returned to Leprosy Village, Boss Feng scolded me because I made a mistake. I was angry, so I naturally wouldn't tell him about the secret tunnel.
"That's why I'm the only one who knows about the tunnel that leads straight into Mutual Gold Coliseum!
"Big Brother Chao, why are you expressionless? You don't look surprised or happy at all."
"Because I'm so surprised and happy … that I don't know what expression I should show."
Meng Chao wiped his face and smiled. "A 'Ji, now that I've realized how capable you are, I suddenly have a thought. Why don't you continue keeping a distance from us and move around in the dark alone? Perhaps you'll be of greater use that way."
"That's …"
A 'Ji's eyes sparkled. "Is it?"
"Yes," Meng Chao said.
"Right now, the enemy knows that I've rushed out of Leprosy Village and that Ms. Mulian is with us. They don't know about you.
"That's why you're our secret weapon.
"With you as our lucky star, I believe that we'll definitely be able to smoothly sneak into Mutual Gold Coliseum and meet Saber Jin Wanhao!"
…
At the same time, in the depths of Mutual Gold Coliseum.
As the largest monster coliseum with the most luxurious facilities, it was built by all the gangs in the lair. The monsters reared and modified here were the most varied, and their habits were also the fiercest.
To make the competition more interesting and exciting, many of the monsters were biochemically modified. They had alloy armor, bones, horns, and even firearms implanted in their bodies.
Their appearances were much more monstrous compared to their wild counterparts.
Among all the monsters reared in Mutual Gold Coliseum, the Red Crowned Speed Dragon King was the king at the top of the food chain.
Normal speed dragons were nightmares that hunters did not want to encounter in the wild due to their lightning speed.
Compared to normal speed dragons, the Red Crowned Speed Dragon had a circle of red spikes that were as red as blood. They surrounded the spikes and formed a very destructive crown.
The crown could absorb the spirit energy of the world to form a spirit energy magnetic field that could promote the growth of brain cells and central nervous system. Its speed, strength, and physical strength would increase by leaps and bounds. It was one of the most brutal and cunning speed dragons in the large speed dragon family.
The Red Crowned Speed Dragon King had an incomparably ferocious horn protruding from the center of its crown on the basis of an ordinary Red Crowned Speed Dragon. There was also a red lightning-like stripe that extended from its head all the way to its tail, allowing it to shoot out extremely lethal electric arcs at will when it swung its tail.
Instead of saying that it was a monster, it would be better to say that it was a flesh machine that was born to kill. The Red Crowned Speed Dragon King could not be kept together with any other carnivorous monster. Otherwise, no matter how big the monster was or how brutal it was, after one night, it would turn into a broken skeleton in the Red Crowned Speed Dragon King's feces.
Since the abnormal beasts and robbers had been discovered in the lair and the lair was in the highest state of alert, the three Red Crowned Speed Dragon Kings locked in the fourth basement of Mutual Gold Coliseum had not had food for a long time, and they were so hungry that they went berserk.
They gritted their teeth nonstop and let out bone-chilling roars. They used their crowns to clash against each other, and blinding sparks flew.
At that moment, the sound of metal grinding against metal rose, and the feed slots above the three monsters' heads slowly opened.
