"Let's talk about the private lives of the older generation of paragons in Dragon City when we have time!"
Meng Chao suppressed his burning curiosity and asked, "What happened later? You … How did Jin Wanhao's little sister die?"
"Later on, we naturally couldn't accept being controlled by Blood Alliance forever and living a life worse than death. It was especially so when my sister, Lei Zongchao, and I explored the ancient ruins countless times and gained greater power. Gradually, we gained the ability to overturn Blood Alliance," A 'Ji said.
"But the time wasn't right yet. We still needed to hide our claws, because the members of Blood Alliance also noticed that our strength was gradually increasing and that we could no longer control it. That's why they injected all sorts of anesthetics and poison that would last for a long time, so we had to take the antidote regularly. They also tied all sorts of shackles and time bombs on us so that we wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
"We've all realized that we need someone to help us overthrow the evil rule of Blood Oath Alliance.
"Those people appeared very soon.
"They were the other gangs aside from Blood Alliance in the apocalyptic Dragon City. They were the predecessors of the nine great mega corporations in Dragon City.
"Now that I mention it, it's a little ironic. When Dragon City had just entered the lawless, bloody era, all the gangs were products of the law of the jungle. They relied on absolute strength to carry out brutal rule. No matter which gang it was, they weren't any better than Blood Alliance.
"But as Blood Alliance extended its influence to all of Dragon City, most of the gangs that relied on violence to rule were abandoned by the people. Then, they were destroyed by Blood Alliance.
"The logic behind it is simple. If the strong preys on the weak is the only law in this world, then these gangs are just as violent as Blood Alliance, but their fists aren't as strong as Blood Alliance's. Then, why should people submit to these gangs and quietly endure their oppression and bullying?
"Isn't it better to just submit to Blood Alliance and endure their oppression and bullying?
"No matter how brutal Blood Alliance was, at the very least, they had great fighting strength and could help the people survive under the threat of zombies and monsters. They could also snatch precious food and water from the other gangs!
"Aside from Blood Alliance, the only ones who managed to survive in the harsh environment at that time were the sects whose ruling methods were relatively gentle, who were rather friendly to the people, and who had all sorts of crucial technology. They were relatively civilized.
"These gangs have noticed that as Earthlings gradually gain a stable footing in the Other World, the zombie virus and ancient bacteria are no longer a fatal threat to us. The popularity of spirit energy martial arts and runic symbol technology has also allowed us to gain the ability to fight against monsters and all sorts of Other World creatures. The lawless apocalypse won't last for long. The light of civilization will eventually shine on everyone's heads again.
"Law, morality, order, these seemingly illusory things are the common calls of tens of millions of survivors. Whoever responds to their calls and receives their support will be able to obtain power greater than that of the Primordial Ruins and become the ruler of tomorrow.
"These relatively gentle and friendly gangs have keenly grasped the pulse of the times.
"On the surface, they are respectful to Blood Alliance and will grant all their requests. In fact, they even wag their tails and beg for mercy.
"Blood Alliance placed most of their attention on researching the ancient ruins, and they also needed the gangs to help them manage the huge Dragon City. They also needed to gather all sorts of miscellaneous resources and get rid of" small problems "like zombies, but they were deceived by their seemingly docile act, and they didn't kill them as soon as possible.
"In the dark, an alliance that opposes Blood Alliance is slowly forming, and without anyone noticing it, it extends its tentacles to every corner of Dragon City and into the hearts of all the citizens who are oppressed by Blood Alliance.
"The ancient ruins and supernatural abilities are the common property of all Dragon Citizens!
"Defeat the Blood Oath Alliance and build a new Dragon City where everyone is equal!
"When Blood Alliance thinks that with supernatural abilities, they can act like a tyrant and suppress everyone forever, these two slogans spread like wildfire on the plains in midsummer.
"In the end, when the flames spread, war broke out.
"This isn't a zombie war or a monster war. It's a civil war between transmigrators from Earth.
"One side that started the war was Blood Alliance, and the other side was everyone aside from Blood Alliance.
"At the start of the war, Blood Alliance used their peerless supernatural abilities to sweep through the enemy. No one was the superhumans' opponent, and they were incredibly arrogant. They thought that they could easily suppress the riffraff who were just asking for their own deaths.
"But they didn't expect that the head-on battle was just a feint to divert their attention.
"When they went on a killing spree, the suicide squads of the anti-Blood Alliance had already snuck into the nest Blood Alliance built in the ancient ruins and released me, my sister, Lei Zongchao, and the other experimental subjects.
"The spies of the anti-Blood Alliance alliance had long since infiltrated Blood Alliance and formed a connection with us. They were just waiting for this heaven-sent chance to unlock all the seals on us so that they could work together and deliver a fatal blow to Blood Alliance.
"Our participation caused the situation on the battlefield to change 180 degrees.
"My sister, Lei Zongchao, and I turned into killing machines that were even more terrifying than the Blood Alliance members. We instantly wiped out Blood Alliance's advantage in terms of high-end fighting power.
"There were also some superhumans who were infected by the zombie virus and awakened to supernatural abilities in the anti-Blood Alliance alliance. They were just slightly weaker than the Blood Alliance members, but they had the advantage in numbers. They had the support of all the citizens, and they led the citizens to open their armory. They armed themselves to the teeth and fought to the death against Blood Alliance.
"It was a bloody battle where the sun and moon no longer shone, and the world turned dark.
"All the citizens were united against a common enemy, and Blood Alliance suffered a crushing defeat.
"But when the founders of Blood Alliance were forced into a corner, they turned into injured beasts and became even crazier and more dangerous.
"Their final counterattack injured my … Jin Wanhao's sister so badly that she fell into Red Dragon River. In the blink of an eye, she was devoured by the raging river."
When Meng Chao heard this, he could not help but gasp.
His mind raced, and he asked tentatively, "So, you think that my sister is already dead? But did you manage to fish out her corpse? "
"No."
A 'Ji shook his head with a solemn expression. "At that time, Red Dragon River had just stopped flooding. The river surface was twice as wide as it is now. The amount of runoff and the speed of the flow were much greater. It was truly a ferocious river, and there were plenty of aggressive aquatic monsters in the river. They could even bite a human's armed speedboat in half with one bite.
"Even Blood Alliance has designated the area around Red Dragon River as a forbidden area and they don't dare to step into it easily.
"Even fully-armed superhumans often go missing along the banks of Red Dragon River and end up with nothing left of them.
"My sister risked her life in the fierce battle and suffered more than ten fatal wounds. Her spiritual energy has long been drained, and she is completely draining her life.
"When she fell into Red Dragon River, there was no way she could have survived.
"At that time, I was fighting in another region, so I didn't immediately receive news of my sister falling into Red Dragon River, but Lei Zongchao stayed close to her. He could only watch as she was devoured by the red river." This scene deeply provoked Lei Zongchao, and an unbelievable change happened to him. He awakened to power that was equivalent to that of a deity, and in one go, he killed seven core elites of Blood Alliance who killed my sister. In fact, he even crushed the leader's head with one punch.
"After the leader died, Blood Alliance, which no longer had a leader, completely crumbled and was reduced to ashes.
"And Lei Zongchao's terrifying achievements earned him the title of a martial arts legend. After that battle, he became the strongest in Dragon City that everyone respected and respected!"
When Meng Chao and Lu Siya heard this, they sighed in relief at the same time.
They did not expect that Dragon City would have such a terrifying and soul-stirring story during the bloody era half a century ago.
However, there were still a lot of suspicious points in the story that only Meng Chao knew.
For example, he did not know what was going on with the X-shaped eye tattoo.
If the X-shaped eye was the symbol of Blood Alliance, why did it appear in the notes his mother left behind when she was young, the Demonic Abyss Eye's memories before his death, and the back of his sister's hand when she turned into the Dark Witch?
Based on the timeline, when his mother was young, Blood Alliance had long since crumbled and was completely destroyed. The underground medical organization his mother worked for should have nothing to do with Blood Alliance!
Meng Chao pointed at A 'Ji's chest and asked a question. "Is this the symbol of Blood Alliance?"
"Yes, and no," A 'Ji said.
"Blood Alliance does indeed use the X-shaped eye as their symbol, but this symbol isn't something someone in Blood Alliance imagined out of thin air. Instead … it appeared on the bodies of some ancient ruins explorers in a very strange manner."
Meng Chao was a little stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know how to put it."
A 'Ji thought about it for a long time before he said, "In Saber Jin Wanhao's memory fragments, some of the explorers who entered the ancient ruins had a certain chance of having this tattoo appear on their bodies after they went through a terrifying, unbelievable, and dangerous adventure. If they were lucky enough to survive, they would have this tattoo appear on their bodies.
"Strange. We don't remember getting a tattoo, and it doesn't hurt us at all. But this thing just popped up out of nowhere.
"Explorers with the X-shaped eye tattoo seem to have a higher chance of running into all sorts of strange dangers than others, but it's also easier for them to survive. Then, they'll run into bigger, stranger, and denser dangers.
"It's as if there's some mysterious power that forcefully sealed us at the entrance to hell. It doesn't let us live, but it doesn't let us die either. It just wants us to suffer endless torture.
"That's why I said that the X-shaped eye isn't a tattoo, but a curse!"
