Chapter 1454 Innocence or Guilt

After an entire night of torrential rain, the low-lying area had become a muddy swamp.

The off-road armored vehicle was also loaded with extremely sturdy and heavy armor, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition. It was comparable to a moving armory, and its own weight was extremely great.

After rolling over more than a dozen times on the hillside and crashing heavily into the swamp below the hillside, although its overall structure did not suffer too much damage, its two tracks were turned toward the sky. It could not turn over no matter how hard it tried. The six mechanical legs that were stored on both sides of its chassis opened up again and waved awkwardly, trying to turn the vehicle’s body.

Meng Chao followed it like a shadow. He jumped onto the four-legged SUV and exerted force with his arms, forcefully breaking the six mechanical legs.

Then, he turned his body in the air again, and his legs shot toward the armor on the left side of the SUV like a railway gun. He forced the steel giant beast, which was comparable to an infantry war vehicle, to move more than twenty meters horizontally and fall into the most viscous part of the swamp. It was the deepest and most unpredictable part of the swamp. The off-road vehicle immediately sank deeper and deeper into the swamp, with bubbles popping up. The passenger in the vehicle was naturally shocked.

The armored off-road vehicle, which had been modified without any limit on the cost, had a perfect safety system, and the passenger did not suffer the slightest injury even after rolling dozens of meters down the slope.

However, once the SUV sank into the depths of the swamp…

No matter how perfect the safety system was, it would not be able to help the passenger survive the disaster!

Before the armored vehicle completely sank, the passenger could only brace himself and try to break out.

Ka-cha, ka-cha, ka-cha.

Accompanied by a series of ear-piercing mechanical sounds, the armor around the SUV that could withstand the full-force attack of the ferocious Hell Beasts slid to the side.

Dozens of heavy machine guns and beehive-type rocket launchers were revealed.

The off-road vehicle was like an angry steel hedgehog, pouring fire in all directions.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The dense bullet curtain set off raging waves in the swamp. If ferocious Hell Beasts were hit head-on, even they would be badly wounded.

In fact, the original intention of this off-road vehicle was to ride unhindered in a place where spirit energy was rich and monsters were rampant.

Unfortunately, Meng Chao was not a Hell Beast.

If one had to measure him in terms of monsters, he was also a level higher than the Hell Beasts. He was the absolute overlord among the billions of monsters, the Apocalyptic Beast!

Meng Chao strolled leisurely in the airtight bullet curtain.

As long as there was a hair-sized gap between the bullet and the rocket, he could slip in and approach the SUV without changing his expression.

Under the high-frequency vibration, his cochlea could clearly outline the internal structure of all the weapon systems beneath the vehicle’s armor. He knew that his opponent would use up its ammunition in a few seconds.

One-third of the heavy machine guns and honeycomb rocket launchers’ furious roars came to an abrupt end, and they had no choice but to cool down and reload.

At that moment, Meng Chao’s entire body turned into a war hammer made of cold steel, ruthlessly slamming into the off-road vehicle’s chassis.

His iron fist that was exploding with spirit energy was like a ground-penetrating bomb. Its destructive power, which could destroy everything, penetrated the chassis and directly destroyed the vehicle’s weapons and communication systems. Not only that, but the top-down bombardment also accelerated the speed of the off-road vehicle settling in the swamp. Two-thirds of the vehicle’s body had already sunk into the mud.

Both the heavy machine guns and the honeycomb rocket launchers were blocked solidly.

It was not Meng Chao’s style to point until he was done.

He did not stop until he was done. His fists turned from war hammers into windmills, bombarding the chassis of the off-road vehicle like a whirlwind. Not only did he create a shocking dent made of hundreds of fist prints on the chassis, but he also smashed more than half of the SUV’s body into the depths of the swamp. The armored SUV turned into an airtight iron can.

The deafening roar of Meng Chao’s fists was like armor-piercing bullets hitting the interior of the SUV back and forth. The continuous amplification made the passenger feel the urge to bleed from all seven orifices and spew blood from his internal organs.

The passenger was forced into a helpless situation. They could only open the only skylight that exposed the mud and jumped out of the severely distorted carriage.

What greeted him was Meng Chao’s fist that was magnified to the extreme like a shooting star from the sky.

was

Bang!

Meng Chao smothered the passenger with his fist again.

The passenger screamed in pain. Blood splattered everywhere, broken teeth flew everywhere, and his entire face was twisted due to the extreme.

Meng Chao was still unwilling to stop.

He was like a crazy ape, constantly tearing at the armor and shell around the skylight.

The armor that was embedded with composite materials was as crisp as withered bark in his hands.

The skylight was severely damaged by him, and it could no longer be closed.

A large amount of mud was washed away by the rain and poured into the off-road vehicle, instantly drowning the passenger’s legs.

The passenger was extremely scared, so he could only brace himself and try to break out from the skylight a second time.

Naturally, he was trapped by Meng Chao, who had the absolute advantage from above, for the second time.

This time, the passenger’s soul was blasted out of his body.

Curled up on the severely deformed seat, white foam came out of his mouth, and his whole body spasmed. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He was horrified to find that the mud had already come up to his chest, and it was about to completely devour his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears-perhaps forever.

The people of Dragon City were no stranger to death, just like the people of Turan.

However, there were thousands of ways to die. On a night of torrential rain, trapped in a nearly abandoned armored SUV, sinking into the depths of the swamp and slowly suffocating to death was, undoubtedly, one of the most unacceptable ways to die.

Faced with Meng Chao’s storm of insane attacks that did not give him any time to think, the passenger’s spirit defense finally collapsed.

He let out a desperate scream.

At that moment, accompanied by a dull sound of metal friction, the passenger was partially surprised and partially confused to find that the off-road vehicle had temporarily stopped sinking

It was as if there was a thick chain dragging the steel beam on the chassis of the off-road vehicle.

And the pair of eyes that covered the entire skylight, like a volcanic eruption, also cooled down a little.

“Director Shen, you’re a very important person. Judging from your status and your performance earlier, you wouldn’t go so far as to commit suicide by taking poison and even burn yourself into ashes, would you?”

A faint mocking voice drifted over the passenger’s head.

The passenger, Shen Yulin, was still in shock as he panted heavily.

His brain cells were operating at a rate close to burning as he tried his best to think of a way to survive.

“You-You’ve found the wrong person!”

Shen Yulin screamed hysterically.

“I have no grudge against you. No matter who you want to find or what you want to do, it has nothing to do with me. You’ve found the wrong person!”

Meng Chao laughed lightly. The chassis and chains of the SUV let out an ear-piercing scraping sound.

Then, the SUV sank into the swamp again.

The foul-smelling mud poured into Shen Yulin’s mouth.

“Director Shen, we are in the same boat now. Our lives are in the countdown state. There’s no need to waste each other’s precious time by going in circles, is there?” Meng Chao said coldly. “Although the team you sent is well-trained, it will still be difficult for them to sneak into the crystal mine without being noticed.

“After all, this was once the territory of the orcs, who could attack us at any time. In order to ensure the crystal mine’s safety, the three-dimensional defense system of every family is well-established.

“In order to ensure that everything is safe, you intentionally moved away a lot of the defense forces deployed behind the crystal mine. You even moved away a lot of mobile searchlights and reconnaissance drones, which created an opportunity for the uninvited guests.

“When I saw the uninvited guests while I lurked in the mud, I sensed that something was strange. These people were too familiar with the terrain and structure of the crystal mine. Compared with the other sides, the crystal mine was facing them, and the defense system seemed to be full of loopholes.

“It was as if there was a mole who was cooperating with them from the inside out.

“As for those who have the ability to adjust the deployment of the defense system and move the mobile searchlights and reconnaissance drones away, I believe that there can’t be too many of them in a crystal mine.

“The mole is definitely a high-level manager of this crystal mine. “That’s the reason why I locked onto you. “Of course, you can deny it.

“I don’t want to kill you unless it’s absolutely necessary.

“Why don’t I tie you up and send you back to Dragon City. “The headquarters of the Universe Corporation, the towering Sky Pillar Corporation’s headquarters, the Supernatural Tower, or the Survival Committee, I think there must be a place where we can investigate the matter clearly and determine your innocence or…

guilt?”

Shen Yulin’s eyes darted around.

Although he could tell that Meng Chao did not have any killing intent for the time being, the invisible blade of judgment still grazed his throat gently. It made his internal organs cramp up, and he wanted to vomit.

“Who are you?”

Shen Yulin stopped struggling. He took a deep breath and calmed down.

Meng Chao smiled bitterly. “If I tell you that I’m just an ordinary member of the Lu family, who’s found my first pot of gold and awakened some own abilities, so I’m going to try my luck outside Monster Mountain Range and see if I can get more cultivation resources to soar to the sky and rise miraculously, would you believe me?”

Meng Chao looked at Shen Yulin. “If I say that there are no organizations, forces, or conspiracies behind me, that I don’t want to be involved in any maelstrom at all, that I don’t want to get into any big trouble, and that I don’t want to unravel any damnable, complicated, and near-death conspiracy, would you believe me?

“If I say that I really came out to scout the situation on the mountain ridge, and when I was trying to stop the debris flow from erupting, I was washed into the mud at the bottom of the valley and accidentally crashed into your good show, as in, I’m really what the female doctor said, an ‘unlucky fool,’ would you believe me?”

Shen Yulin stared at Meng Chao with a strange gaze.

“I don’t believe any of it.”

He shook his head.
