Xiong Wei and Su Lun sucked in deep breaths.
They tried their best to control their expressions and emotions.
Both of them laughed at the same time.
"Now, gather your forces and get ready to move out. We'll search for Meng Chao and fight against the monsters!"
Lu Siya said. "I'll talk to Poison Scorpion and have them work together with you. I believe that with Golden Tooth, Black Bone, and Poison Scorpion working together, the other middle-sized and small gangs won't make any noise.
"But I'm curious. Do you have a concrete plan? Where are you going to search for Meng Chao and his master? You're not going to run around like headless chickens, right?"
"Ever since the explosion happened in Leprosy Village, the people in charge of the gangs have gathered together to discuss it. They've come up with a rather mature emergency plan," Su Lun said quickly.
"Aside from setting up another quarantine zone in the lair and locking down Leprosy Village, we've also locked onto twenty-two coordinates. They're the most important facilities in the lair, and they're also the facilities that are the easiest for the enemy to attack.
"Next, Gang Leader Xiong will personally lead a team to conduct a thorough search of the twenty-two facilities to make sure that there are no loopholes for Meng Chao and the abnormal beasts to take advantage of."
"That's good."
Lu Siya nodded in satisfaction. Then, she changed the topic and said, "But I suggest that we add the twenty-third coordinate and send a lot of manpower to focus on searching and defending it."
Su Lun and Xiong Wei looked at each other. "Where are you referring to, Ms. Lu?"
"Here."
Lu Siya tapped the ground with the tip of her foot. "We're standing under Mutual Gold Coliseum."
"Here?"
Su Lun's eyebrows shot up. "Right now, all the gang leaders are gathered in Mutual Gold Coliseum. This is also the gathering place for a lot of people and resources. If Meng Chao dares to sneak in here, he'll be walking right into a trap."
"That's why I said that you don't understand Meng Chao at all. Without my help, it's impossible for you to capture him," Lu Siya said with a smile.
"Meng Chao is a person with a strong desire to attack. If he faces an enemy's attack and the probability of him dodging it perfectly is less than 50%, he will usually choose to use offense as defense. he'll be willing to die together with his enemy to deliver a fatal strike.
"It's just as you said. Mutual Gold Coliseum is the joint command center and logistics storage for the gangs. As long as we take this place … No, as long as we cause damage here and cause chaos, the lair might completely collapse.
"With Meng Chao's appetite, he won't be interested in the so-called important facilities at the corners.
"Either he doesn't make a move, or once he makes a move, he'll definitely strike our hearts, right here!"
Su Lun showed an expression of sudden realization.
Bear.Might's expression became slightly better.
Gradually, he began to believe that working with Lu Siya was the right choice.
"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom! "
Suddenly, a few explosions came from the borders of the lair, which was not far away from Mutual Gold Coliseum.
The sounds of explosions came from all directions. Billowing smoke and dazzling fireballs soared into the sky, causing the originally complicated situation to become even more confusing.
"Meng Chao and the abnormal beast are attacking again."
Su Lun's face was stark white as he mumbled, "The direction of the explosions are hospitals, drug warehouses, water purification plants, and other important facilities for the people in the lair. Once these places are completely destroyed, the lair's order won't be able to be maintained for long."
"Then, I'll have to trouble Commander Su to mobilize people to provide reinforcements and defend the lair!"
Lu Siya's voice was as calm as ever. "But I still believe in my judgment. This is just Meng Chao bluffing. No matter how intense the explosions at the borders of the lair are, it's just to divert our attention. His real goal is still this place."
Su Lun was stunned. He asked hesitantly, "Why are you so certain that the explosions just now were just a bluff, Ms. Lu?"
"Because you're still alive," Lu Siya said.
Su Lun did not understand. "What do you mean?"
"If it wasn't a bluff and Meng Chao really attacked, then at the moment you heard the explosions, you should have died," Lu Siya said faintly.
…
At the same time.
There were only one hundred meters left before they reached Mutual Gold Coliseum.
In the slums under the lair was an ant nest-like slum.
Meng Chao wore a tattered hooded cloak and a pair of black sunglasses. His face and hands were covered by the cloak, and he had meticulously pasted a disguise that looked like abscesses and rotten flesh. His mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and his entire body was festering.
Even his left leg was two centimeters shorter than his right leg because of the contraction of his muscles and bones. When he walked, he swayed, and anyone who saw him would think that he was unlucky.
Right then, he was a homeless person that could be seen everywhere in the lair.
Even if his younger sister or his tutor stood in front of him, they would not be able to recognize him based on his face or posture.
With this disguise, he and A 'Ji could approach Mutual Gold Coliseum through the main underground tunnel of the lair. They did not need to crawl into the sewers or ventilation ducts.
Along the way, they ran into three groups of armed gang members who checked them.
But there were just too many homeless people in the lair. Even if the lair was fortified, there were still plenty of homeless people who could not find a place to shelter themselves.
The sects could only do their best to place these people in underground shelters. As long as they were not allowed to run out and cause trouble, it would be fine. In a hurry, it was impossible for them to investigate their identities one by one.
Meng Chao and the other three split into two groups. He and A 'Ji acted as the vanguard and searched whether the secret tunnel leading to the depths of Mutual Gold Coliseum was still there.
Su Mulian and Song Jinbo stayed at the back.
Su Mulian could tell Song Jinbo everything that had happened in Leprosy Village, the wishes of the villagers led by Wild Wolf, and the tragedy that might happen nine hours later.
Song Jinbo was born and raised in the lair. He had been Saber Jin Wanhao's right-hand man for many years. Even though he had been a little lonely over the past few years, he was still a person who was still stronger than a horse. Of course, he had his connections and good friends who he could entrust his life to.
As long as Meng Chao was able to find a breakthrough and find concrete evidence …
Song Jinbo could use the connections, resources, and reputation he had accumulated for decades to work together with him from afar.
But at that moment, Meng Chao heard muffled explosions coming from all directions.
He saw the ceiling above him trembling slightly.
The intersecting cracks became larger and denser.
A few spiders who were weaving their webs in the corners of the walls were so terrified that they quickly climbed up the spider threads and crawled into the cracks before they disappeared.
The lair people in the area fell into a commotion.
Just like in Leprosy Village, rumors flew everywhere.
No one knew where the news came from, but all the citizens living at the lowest level of society in the lair learned about it. An incredibly dangerous abnormal beast and the human traitors who had been bewitched, corrupted, and turned into the monsters' subordinates had invaded the lair and were hiding around them. They were about to turn the lair into a literal hell.
Some people said that the monster had already occupied all of Leprosy Village and was using the rapidly growing fungi and plants to turn the human town into a bloody jungle.
Some people said that the monster had created a terrifying drug known as the Deification Capsule that could turn humans into monsters. The villagers had all been "transformed" and turned into the most evil and terrifying monster army in history. They were about to rush out of Leprosy Village and tear apart and eat all the people in the lair.
Some people also said that the villagers had not been bewitched by the abnormal beast but had willingly joined the monster camp. After all, the descendants of the infectees were so deformed and ugly that they did not even look like humans. They had long since stopped treating themselves as humans. Only by killing all the humans as monsters could they vent their hatred for decades of discrimination.
Some people also said that regardless of whether the villagers were willing or forced, Leprosy Village had already turned into a chaotic vortex and a paradise for monsters. This was an undeniable truth.
And before long, the terrifying vortex would continue expanding and gradually devour everything around it. In fact, it would even tear apart the order in the lair.
The people who stood at the top had never cared about the lives of the citizens at the bottom of the lair. Right now, they had sent all their elites to the frontlines at the borders of Dragon City and left the lair citizens to fend for themselves.
If they did not want to be torn to shreds by the vortex, the lair citizens had to save themselves.
There was only one way for them to escape, and that was to break through the lockdown line at all costs and rush outside.
If the dirty and smelly citizens at the bottom of the lair rushed to the noble residential areas where the superhumans lived, the people of power could no longer ignore them. They would be able to keep their lives, right?
Of course, this sort of argument was not the mainstream for the time being.
Most of the lair citizens still believed in order, believed in the superhumans, and believed that the Survival Committee would not give up on them.
Even if they were homeless people who had nothing, it was still very difficult for them to make up their minds and break through the lockdown line at the borders of the lair.
However, Meng Chao was not sure how long the lair citizens' confidence in the superhumans and the Survival Committee would last.
If the Vortex and its puppets launched brutal attacks on the living facilities, resource warehouses, and densely populated residential areas in the lair, the monster's puppets lurking in the gangs, such as Red Brows Su Lun, would fan the flames and add fuel to the fire.
If the monster's puppets lurking in the gangs, such as Red Brows Su Lun, who were ambitious people with great power, fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire, the lair citizens' confidence in the outside world would be crushed.
It was very easy to crush the lair citizens' confidence in the outside world and make the outside world misjudge the situation in the lair.
At that time, the lair would repeat Leprosy Village's mistakes and head toward chaos and destruction.
