A 'Ji volunteered to scout for information.
When Meng Chao saw that he had returned in one piece, he sighed in relief and asked, "How was it? No one noticed you, right?"
"Of course not."
"Big Brother Chao, I noticed something. The poorer a person is, the uglier they are. These homeless people are the poorest people in the lair. They look even worse than the villagers in Leprosy Village. How could I have been discovered when I was among them?" A 'Ji said mischievously.
Meng Chao was a little stunned.
He remembered how he had been invited by Lu Siya, Ning Shewo, Yan Hengbo, and the others to attend the so-called gathering of the upper class.
The beautiful men and women had pretty good appearances, regardless of their personalities and morals. Compared to the lair citizens and Leprosy Village villagers, they were completely different species.
Meng Chao shook his head and cast aside the boring and dangerous thought. "Did you discover anything?"
"There really is."
"Just now, more than ten important facilities at the perimeter of the lair exploded at the same time and went up in flames. The light and smoke turned the lair into a place where it was as dark as a sandstorm. The air pollution also became worse. Even if a monster swaggered over, it might not be able to see it clearly.
"I think that the abnormal beast pretending to be Brother Chao must have attacked again."
"Did you see the smoke with your own eyes?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a moment before he asked, "What color is the smoke?"
"I saw it. It's colorful. It looks like a very thick and crude paint."
A 'Ji thought about it and said, "There are a lot of unlicensed chemical workshops in Leprosy Village.
This is the color of the waste water that they secretly discharge into the river of garbage. "
"That means he's the target of the exotic beasts' second wave of attacks?
Storing a large number of low-grade items?
Crystals full of impurities?
And very dangerous chemical raw materials. "
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he immediately asked, "Most of the buildings and combustibles in the lair are underground?
There wasn't enough oxygen?
The combustion was not sufficient, and with the impurities in the combustion, the smoke released was more powerful than tear gas?
It would seriously erode the human internal organs and even the immune system.
"If I'm not wrong?
-Is this only the prelude to the second wave of attacks? -
Wait for the fire to get bigger?
Poison fog shrouding the entire lair?
The exotic beasts naturally had even more vicious methods.
They would be used one after another.
"At that time, Leprosy Village, which is located at the center of the lair, will be completely devoured by the flames and all the villagers will flee. At that time, not even the gods will be able to save them!
"No, we have to find the gang leaders immediately.
Did you find out?
Was he in the lair now?
Who has the final say? "
"Huh?
Yes, but … "
Ah Ji hesitated for a moment.
"When I was up there just now, I heard a lot of loudspeakers shouting. They said that the gangs in the lair have worked together and set up a temporary United Command Headquarters. The vice gang leader of Golden Tooth, Red Brows Su Lun, is the temporary commander-in-chief. He's going to control all the fighting power, resources, and information in the lair.
"Since the lair has entered the highest state of alert, theoretically speaking, everyone has the responsibility to join the fight. So, even if you're not a gang member, you have to listen to Red Brows Su Lun's orders.
"Basically, Su Lun is in charge of the lair right now."
"…" Meng Chao frowned.
"That's impossible. In terms of experience, cultivation realm, and fighting strength, Red Brows Su Lun isn't as powerful as Saber Jin Wanhao. In fact, he can't even compare to Phantom Bear Xiong Wei. What right does he have to be the commander-in-chief? How can he convince the people? How can Phantom Bear Xiong Wei submit to him?"
"Then there must be some sort of shady insider trading going on. In any case, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei is the vice commander-in-chief of the temporary United Command Headquarters. By the looks of it, they're working together pretty well," A 'Ji said in frustration.
"Right now, there are two people in charge in the lair. Red Brows Su Lun is a traitor in human form, and Phantom Bear Xiong Wei is deceived by him. His first impression of you is the strongest, and he thinks that you're the enemy who killed his son. The moment he sees you, he might go hysterical and fight to the death.
"We only have nine hours left. It doesn't seem possible to convince either of the two people in charge in such a short amount of time!"
Meng Chao rubbed his face.
He also noticed that he seemed to have stepped into a dead end.
"However, I've also found out a very interesting piece of information."
A 'Ji suddenly changed the topic. "Someone said that an armored airship was forced to land on the open-air arena in Mutual Gold Coliseum. It crashed down like a weight, and not long after it landed, it exploded. Whoever was on the armored airship was crazy enough!" A' Ji suddenly changed the topic.
"An armored airship?"
Meng Chao's eyes lit up, and hope burned in the depths of his eyes once more. "The lair doesn't have any armored airships, so they must have come from the outside. If they came from the city, they wouldn't have needed to ride an airship, which is a dangerous flying vehicle, since it's so close to the lair. They could have just walked in by foot.
"This means that they came from the battlefield at the borders of Dragon City, which is far away from the lair.
"Dozens of Heaven Realm superhumans returned empty-handed from the depths of the lair. If they dared to charge into the lair regardless of the cost, they must be really powerful reinforcements. I knew it! It's impossible for the outside world to give up on the lair!
"Did you manage to find out who was on the armored airship? Were there any Deity Realm superhumans?"
"I don't know about that."
A 'Ji scratched his head. "Besides, Big Brother Chao, I don't think we should be happy too soon. Even if there's really a Deity Realm superhuman leading reinforcements into the lair, the first person they come into contact with is Red Brows Su Lun. Their first impression of him is the strongest, and they'll definitely believe the words of this traitor and schemer!
"Red Brows Su Lun was appointed as the temporary commander and can mobilize most of the resources in the lair. We can tell that he has already fooled the leader of the reinforcements.
"Even if we know who the leader of the reinforcements is and snuck into Mutual Gold Coliseum and suddenly appeared in front of the leader of the reinforcements, do you really think that you can win their trust?"
"That's …"
Meng Chao rubbed his chin and quickly thought of a way to win the trust of the leader of the reinforcements. It would be best if he could also expose Red Brows Su Lun's true colors in one go.
At that moment, the sound of motorized armor clashing came from the end of the tunnel.
A group of heavily armed gang members ran over in a hurry.
The homeless people in the area were intimidated by their murderous presence. They whispered to each other and discussed the matter.
Meng Chao and A 'Ji hunched their heads and listened for a while. They knew that the temporary commander had given the first order to mobilize the armed members of the gangs and the healthy young adults of the lair to extinguish the fires at the areas at the borders of the lair, as well as to clear the fire blockades.
As for the homeless people, they had to be registered and given different tasks based on their physical conditions.
Even if they were really poor, weak, and could not handle the burden, they had to be sent to the underground shelters to be managed so that they would not add to the chaos when the lair descended into chaos.
Meng Chao and A 'Ji looked at each other and hid behind the crowd without batting an eyelid.
When he saw another group of armed gang members run past them, A 'Ji could not help but say, "Big Brother Chao, this is a good chance. The gang members who were originally gathered in Mutual Gold Coliseum have all been sent to the developing lands at the borders of the lair. Mutual Gold Coliseum's defenses must be much lax now. This is a good chance for us to sneak in!"
"That's right. This is indeed a good chance for us, but it's also a good chance for the abnormal beasts."
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. "I heard from the homeless people that Mutual Gold Coliseum has a lot of guns, ammunition, relief resources, and medical medicine. The open-air arena in Mutual Gold Coliseum is the largest empty space above ground level in the lair.
"If the underground space is destroyed, all the lair citizens will have to run to the open-air arena to seek refuge.
"If I were an abnormal beast, no matter how many tricks I pull at the borders of the lair, in the end, there would only be one target worthy of me attacking with my full strength, and that's Mutual Gold Coliseum!
"Let's go. Take me to the secret tunnel you found."
"Big Brother Chao, have you thought of a way to quell Phantom Bear Xiong Wei's anger, expose Red Brows Su Lun's true colors, and gain the trust of the reinforcements' leader?" A 'Ji asked in surprise and delight.
"Not for the time being," Meng Chao said firmly.
"But I believe that all schemes have flaws. If we haven't discovered any flaws yet, it's because we're not close enough to the scheme.
"Red Brows Su Lun …
"No matter how flawless your disguise is, as long as I suddenly appear right in front of your eyes, nose to nose with you, I will certainly be able to stab into your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys and see what kind of animal you are exactly!"
Before the gang members could control all the homeless people, Meng Chao and A 'Ji left the underground field while sticking close to the wall.
They moved quietly through the dark and narrow spider-web paths. In a short while, they went around a sign that said "Construction Danger" and arrived at a construction site that was still under construction.
Ever since they transmigrated to the Other World, Dragon City had been shrouded in fog. Since they were surrounded by wild beasts, the humans naturally thought of asking for space underground.
The process of Dragon City going underground did not stop for a single day. As the largest slum in Dragon City, the lair had a population density that was five times that of the outside world. There were also countless excavators who called themselves "moles" who worked day and night.
Mutual Gold Coliseum was the newest landmark in the lair. Aside from the open-air arena at the top, which was above ground, the other ten levels were all underground.
And with Mutual Gold Coliseum as the core, a brand new hornet or ant nest was born and continued expanding.
Even though the main building was already built and was in operation, the hornet nest was far from being completed.
However, the entire 'honeycomb' was far from finished. Perhaps, until the rock stratum reached the limit of its endurance and completely collapsed, human beings would only dig on endlessly and never finish the job.
