Chapter 1450 Missing Bullet

The bullet arrived in a flash, and Meng Chao staggered.

It was as if he had slipped and stepped into a bubble in the mud. He lost his balance and leaned to the left.

The bullet then grazed his waist.

He immediately felt a burning pain at his waist, like a poisonous snake that was spewing flames and tearing off a large piece of flesh. The poison was like lava, flowing through his blood vessels and nerves to his internal organs. Meng Chao felt that his heart was like an engine that had been blown up, beating uncontrollably.

The movement of the cells in his lungs was also severely restricted.

It was as if someone had stuffed two lumps of never-ending explosives into his lungs. Every breath he took would trigger the explosion.

It seemed that the bullet had been smeared with some kind of new neurotoxin. Even if it did not hit a vital point, it would still cause most of the targets to lose more than 90% of their mobility.

Of course, Meng Chao was not among the “most.”

Before the bullet touched his flesh and blood, he had already locked onto the contact surface through his hair, which acted as a radar. He had also built an iron wall around his waist with spirit energy.

At the same time, Meng Chao’s muscles contracted violently, trying to clamp the bullet.

Naturally, a Turan orc would not fire sniper bullets.

This was crucial evidence.

To his surprise, he did not suffer a through-and-through injury. He only suffered a wound the size of a teacup on his back. He was completely unharmed in front of him.

However, he did not find the existence of the bullet in his body.

“The other party is using special crystal processing technology. They carefully polished a special warhead and shot it into the target’s body. After achieving a destructive effect, it actually disintegrated automatically and disappeared without a trace, leaving no evidence behind.

“What advanced technology. How meticulous!”

Not only that, but Meng Chao also discovered that the flesh near his wound was rotting and burning at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such a degree of corrosive damage would not kill him.

With the cell activity of a Deity Realm warrior, it would not take long for new flesh to grow out. Even the crusts would fall off within twelve hours.

The problem was that this way, he would not be able to tell that he suffered from a gunshot wound.

“It’s really not easy to catch these guys by their tails!”

Meng Chao’s mind raced.

All kinds of calculations and changes quickly slid down from his mind like a waterfall.

His body did not stop at all. Under the huge impact of the sniper bullets, he pounced forward heavily.

However, before he pounced, he did one thing.

Whoosh! Bang! Meng Chao took out a flare gun from his pocket.

He had picked up the flare gun and his protective suit from Sky Pillar Corporation’s temporary office.

The industrial and mining enterprises in Dragon City often had to carry out all kinds of complicated operations in the dangerous outdoor environment, so encountering danger was a high probability event.

Therefore, many people would carry flare guns that could trigger flares and act as a tool to call for help in an emergency.

Even the dark clouds in the sky could not hide the signal that Meng Chao had sent out, which was as bright as fireworks.

Moreover, the flares that had been added with a special burning agent did not disappear in an instant like fireworks.

Instead, they stayed in the air for a long time in the form of shining flower buds that were slowly blooming. The position where he fell was very close to Universe Corporation’s crystal mine.

The rainstorm hit, and the nerves of the people stationed in the crystal mine were particularly tense.

As soon as they saw Meng Chao’s signal for help, three or four searchlights immediately shot toward his location.

Meng Chao seemed to be able to hear the angry curses of the uninvited guests in the darkness.

However, he did not think that they would fight to the death.

Of course, Meng Chao did not doubt that these people had enough strength and willpower to destroy the crystal mine like a river.

Nevertheless, with their tracks exposed and the crystal mine being guarded, could they do it in the way of the Turan orcs without revealing their true identity and any clues that might lead to trouble?

Meng Chao felt that this was a big question mark.

Plus, from the exchanges between the two sides earlier, it was clear that there was a large organization behind these uninvited guests. They had a tight structure, as well as a well-planned strategy, and they would not take risks easily.

Meng Chao did not think that the uninvited guests would continue to charge at him without thinking before they failed repeatedly and figured out his background.

As he expected, the engine from the direction of the crystal mine was still roaring more than a hundred meters away.

The uninvited guests in the darkness had already disappeared without a trace.

Even when Meng Chao expanded his vitality magnetic field to the maximum, he was still unable to capture the direction and route of their retreat.

Like a few strands of mud, they disappeared into the swamp.

Meng Chao was certain that other than the “evidence” that they had intentionally left behind, they would not have left even a drop of blood or a single hair behind.

“Over there!”

“There’s someone!”

“What happened? Why are they injured so badly!”

“It looks like a monster bit into their waist!”

“D*mn it. How can there be a monster here?”

“Who knows? This d*mn place and the weather are really weird!”

“This guy seems to be from Sky Pillar Corporation.”

“What’s so strange about that? The storm is so heavy, and there are torrents everywhere. Many of our people have rushed into Sky Pillar Corporation’s territory, and many of Sky Pillar’s people have rushed into our territory. No matter where they are, we have to carry them back first!”

Although the explorers of Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation often fought over the ownership of a mining area when they explored the mother lodes of crystals in the hidden wilderness, they remained close to each other when they fought against natural disasters.

They felt that they were in the same boat.

Human beings were such contradictory animals.

A few of Universe Corporation’s rescuers fixed Meng Chao onto a stretcher and carried him onto a tracked SUV. Some people helped him bandage his wounds and inject cardiac stimulants.

At the same time, they marveled at his “shocking’ wounds and found it unbelievable that such a severely injured person could still be breathing with a weak heartbeat.

Their treatment methods were better than nothing for the wounds that Meng Chao had sustained from a special sniper bullet.

So, Meng Chao did not reject their good intentions or accelerate cell division and accelerate the healing of his wounds.

Instead, he played the role of a Heaven Realm warrior perfectly. He had to react the way he should when he was seriously injured.

To be fair, Meng Chao did not have much room for acting

That was because the evil power contained in the crystal warhead that had mysteriously disappeared was still wreaking havoc in his body. Meng Chao felt that his body temperature had already exceeded fifty degrees. His skin could almost make the sizzling sound of barbecued meat.

His cerebral cortex seemed to have been bombarded by napalm. There were ten thousand ferocious beasts roaring in his ears, and he could not maintain his focus at all.

He was in such a terrible state.

If he were a real Heaven Realm warrior, even if he had really seen something that he should not have, he would not have the most basic logical thinking and the ability to describe the truth, would he?

Meng Chao could only pretend that his brain was burned out. He parted his cracked lips slightly and emitted a soft moan from the depths of his throat.

A rescuer put his ear to his mouth and listened carefully for a long time. “What did he say?”

His companion asked him, “Is he saying his last words?”

“I don’t think so. I don’t understand.”

The rescuer frowned and pondered for a moment, wondering. “He seems to be repeating the word… ‘human.”

Even though Chao Meng was seriously injured, he was not the only one in need of medical attention on a night of torrential rain, flooding, mudslides, and collapsing buildings. The medical station attached to the crystal mine was already overcrowded.

Hundreds of people, rescued from floods and collapsed buildings, were groaning. There was not enough room in the house, so a large number of tents were set up temporarily on the relatively open highlands.

However, even the tents were soon filled with the injured from all directions. The few medical staff were so busy that their faces were even paler than many of the injured. The groans of the injured, the shouts of the rescuers, and the orders of the medical staff, in addition to the distance, the sound of rocks sliding down and crashing into the bottom of the valley, were all mixed together, making everyone even more upset. The tents that served as temporary operating rooms were all packed to the brim.

Many of the wounded in the front row were wrapped in three layers of bandages, and large bloodstains were still oozing out of their bodies, as though demonic man-eating flowers were growing out of their bodies.

The rescuers who had sent Meng Chao there were also helpless when they saw the scene.

Following that, a new rescue order came from their crystal communicators.

Just as they scratched their ears and cheeks anxiously, a female doctor, whose face was more than partially covered by a mask, appeared and signaled the rescuers to leave the wounded behind.

The rescuers breathed a long sigh of relief and thanked the female doctor profusely. They also told her about the situation they had found Meng Chao in. Then, they anxiously rushed to the new battlefield.

The female doctor did not push Meng Chao into any operating room. Instead, she went behind the medical station.

She got into a container that was half-submerged in mud.

The surroundings were as chaotic as war, so one noticed the female doctor’s abnormal behavior.

No one suspected her identity either. The container was pitch-black, and one could not see one’s fingers in there.

There was only the sound of raindrops hitting one’s head.

Meng Chao felt the female doctor extend her fingers that were even colder than a scalpel.

She searched around the wound on his waist.

It seemed like she was judging his injury. Then, she checked his pulse and injected threads of spirit energy, which were like mycelium, into his body to detect his physiological parameters in a way that was even more sensitive than medical devices.

With her standard, she was far from qualified to fully examine a Deity Realm powerhouse.

Half a minute later, the female doctor who did not see any flaws breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She took out a vial of potion that emitted a faint red glow like a firefly in the darkness and injected it into the wound in Meng Chao’s waist.
