If they walked another two kilometers southeast of the ruins of Peach Blossom Town, they could see more than one hundred tower cranes standing tall and drilling machines that looked like oil wells in the distance.
There were also excavators and dump trucks that were taller than three-story buildings and needed dozens of tires that were more than five meters in diameter to support them.
They worked day and night to dig out all the rocks and dirt that covered the monster camp and moved them to the edge of the sinkhole to build stairs.
Because of it, all the secrets of the monster civilization were exposed to the world.
There were also hundreds of hot air balloons dragging steel cables that were thicker than Meng Chao's thighs. They continuously dragged out the carcasses in the monster camp and the objects attached to the nest from the holes created by the excavators and drilling machines.
Not far away from the bustling construction site were a few monster processing plants that were set up in a row. They carefully trimmed and processed the easily rotten or already rotten monster materials. Then, they sealed them into cans and gene medicine bottles according to their categories.
Most of the sturdiest bones of the monsters had not been processed yet, including the Apocalyptic Beasts that had not matured yet. They were piled up like mountains beside the monster processing factories, and they shone with a fierce metallic light.
Before long, they would be broken down into unstoppable pieces or ground into powder before they were made into real weapons.
"That was close!"
Lei Zongchao cast a glance at the monster bones and sighed. "The quality and structure of these monsters' bones are completely different from the monsters we've encountered in the past. If my guess is correct, they should be the ultimate evolved version carefully modified by the monster mastermind.
"Fortunately, Dragon City has been fighting smoothly over the past two years. We've snatched a lot of resources from the monster civilization and pressed forward. We didn't give the monster civilization too much time to catch its breath, so we disrupted the rhythm of the monster mastermind and made it unable to complete the modifications of the ultimate evolved version.
"If the war had continued for another two to three years and this batch of Apocalyptic Beasts had matured, we wouldn't have been able to tell just who would have won!"
When Meng Chao heard this, he could not help but give him a thumbs-up in his heart.
As expected of a Battle God. No matter how old he was, his vision was still sharp, and he could predict things like a god.
At that moment, a dump truck that was three or four stories tall and had the Red Dragon Army's emblem painted on it ran into their all-terrain vehicle.
The dumper, which was more than 20 meters wide, blocked the makeshift road.
Meng Chao extended his crawling legs again and controlled the all-terrain vehicle to crawl to the sides of the road.
A military cap poked out from the cockpit on the opposite side, and the pilot honked to thank them.
Meng Chao and Lei Zongchao narrowed their eyes and activated super vision. With the support of spirit energy, they easily saw through the flipper.
Inside, there was a gigantic … cocoon, or perhaps egg.
It was a giant egg with a diameter of more than ten meters. Thick fiber tubes were wrapped around its surface, twisting into clusters of mysterious and complicated spiritual tattoos.
Hundreds of high-grade crystals were attached to the end of the fiber tube.
Inside the giant egg, there seemed to be an embryo sleeping, but it released an incomparably ferocious aura in its sleep.
"This is an Apocalyptic Beast embryo!"
Meng Chao sensed it for a while, and his pupils shrank swiftly.
He did not expect that the humans would discover a living Apocalyptic Beast embryo in the monster nest.
Many of the monsters had the nestling effect. They would treat the first creature they saw when they hatched as their mother.
The only monster mastermind that could interfere with the Apocalyptic Beasts' thoughts was already dead.
If Dragon City could digest and absorb all the legacy left by the monster civilization, their biochemical technology would improve by leaps and bounds, and there was a high possibility that they could turn all the Apocalyptic Beasts into loyal biochemical pets.
Because of that, Dragon City's fighting strength would increase by ten times compared to his previous life!
Meng Chao could not wait to know whether there were more living Apocalyptic Beast embryos in the monster camp.
In fact, he started imagining Dragon City building an Apocalyptic Beast army in the near future to sweep through the Other World.
Unfortunately, the few dump trucks that passed by were all filled with the appendages of the monster nests.
It was a material that was not made of gold, iron, or crystals.
It was covered in dense holes, but it was not brittle. Instead, it saved on materials and lightened its weight. At the same time, it increased its sturdiness and spirit energy permeability.
Meng Chao also sensed an incredibly weak life force from the material.
It was like a skeleton left behind from billions of years ago by some sort of carbon-based creature.
But how was that possible?
Meng Chao found structures that were similar to pipes, gears, and bearings in a few of the materials.
Gears and bearings grew out of the bodies of carbon-based creatures. This was too incredible!
"Mr. Thunder!"
"Old Thunder!"
Two people were waiting for them at the entrance of the monster civilization's ultimate nest with smiles on their faces.
One of them was Meng Chao's old acquaintance. He was a senior researcher from the ruins research center and the vice team leader of Project 101, Wu Haibo.
The other was a middle-aged man with white hair at his temples. Even though he only wore a faded camouflage uniform, his back was as straight as a spear, and his gaze was as sharp as a saber that had been soaked in monster blood for three days and three nights.
He was the strongest fighter in the Red Dragon Army, Thunder God Shao Zhengyang!
A "Martial God" and a "Thunder God" laughed and hugged each other.
Decades ago, they had been good friends who had fought together.
Lei Zongchao and the creator of the Red Dragon Army, Wu Tiedao, who was known as the God of War, were good friends who had gone through life and death together.
In truth, Lei Zongchao had been the one who had pushed the Red Dragon Army's creation and rise to power.
Even now, the young officers of the Red Dragon Army had to go to Lei Zongchao's Battle God Palace to train for a period of time before they could step into the circle of the higher ups of the military. This was an unwritten rule.
Meng Chao's father was a retired soldier.
His family's company, Superstar, was one of the biggest logistics contractors in the Red Dragon Army.
He had also become friends with Railway Cannon Long Feijun and the other young officers in Battle God Palace. They even called each other brothers.
He had also mentioned the idea of strengthening the Red Dragon Army's strength and forming a balance with the mega corporations during many of the discussions held in the Broken Star Club and Blue Home. Quite a number of powerful fighters in the military agreed with his idea.
Even though he did not have an official military status, he was also a military man.
Besides, Meng Chao's best friend, Chu Feixiong, was in the same class as Shao Zhengyang's daughter, Female Battle God Shao Jianqing.
A few years ago, during the northern offensive, they had often fought side by side.
Through this relationship, Shao Zhengyang naturally treated Meng Chao as his nephew and one of his own.
"Meng Chao, you've contributed greatly this time. You saved countless normal soldiers' lives, and you're worthy of the military giving you a huge medal!"
Just as Meng Chao expected, Shao Zhengyang, who usually did not smile and flew into a rage at the slightest provocation, did not put on airs in front of Meng Chao. He extended a hand that could crush lightning and struck Meng Chao's shoulder. He nearly broke half of Meng Chao's body.
"General Shao, you praise me too much. There are plenty of people in the exploration team, and I'm not the only one who contributed," Meng Chao said with a grimace.
"We're all on the same side here, and we're not carrying out a combat mission right now, so there's no need for you to keep calling me general. It's so estranged. I remember that you've been good friends with Chu Feixiong since you were young, right? Then just call me uncle like he does! "Shao Zhengyang said readily with a wave of his hand.
"Uncle … Shao?"
Meng Chao blinked and thought about his best friend. Wasn't Chu Feixiong from the military school's heroic spirit course? Wasn't he ranked at the bottom of their batch, and he even made Shao Zhengyang's daughter, Shao Jianqing, the class rep so angry?
In any case, every time Meng Chao saw Chu Feixiong and Shao Jianqing, his best friend made the class rep fly into a rage, and the class rep kicked him a few times.
Since when did Chu Feixiong become so close to the class rep's father and the strongest fighter in the Red Dragon Army? Meng Chao called him uncle, and he even called him that boy?
'No, there's something going on here.
Once this mission is over, I'll definitely go to the white bear and ask him about it! '
"Meng Chao, even though we're on the same side, I'm not using my official position for personal gain just because you call me uncle."
Shao Zhengyang said with an intense gaze. "I'm saying that the military should give you a huge medal, but it's not for the mission to explore Hidden Fog Desolate Region, but for the Ultimate Style and the three basic force execution methods you modified — Reckless Bull Force, Ripple Force, and Dragon Snake Force!"
"Ultimate Style? Three basic force execution methods? "Meng Chao was puzzled.
"That's right. A few years ago, the three basic force execution methods you modified and the fighting ideals of the Ultimate Style became popular among the grassroots soldiers in the military through the Broken Star Club and other civilian organizations," Shao Zhengyang explained.
Shao Zhengyang explained, "The higher-ups in the military noticed this a long time ago, but you know, in the military, if you want to reform a concept or a system, it's a very serious and troublesome thing. So, we don't encourage or stop it, and we just wait and see how it goes.
"I didn't expect that the three basic force execution methods would have such an unexpected effect on normal soldiers and the Ultimate Style on grassroots soldiers.
"It's especially so over the past two years. The speed at which the monsters evolved and mutated has increased, and a lot of strange new species have popped up. A lot of monsters also carry Blood Flower spores in their bodies, and when they die, they transform. Once they die, they resurrect as undead. They're practically ten times more difficult to deal with than before!
"Based on the calculations of the experts in the military, if we didn't have the brand new version of the three basic force execution methods and the Ultimate Style's tactical ideals, based on the intensity of the war over the past two years, the Red Dragon Army would have lost hundreds of thousands or even millions of people!
"Tell me, is it not worth the military giving you a huge medal after you saved millions of soldiers' lives?"
