Chapter 1513: An Army of One Man

The Blue Armbands regained control of the scene.

The chaotic noise gradually subsided.

The giant screen on the surrounding glass walls was suddenly split into two parts.

The lower half was still a live broadcast of the monster hunters searching the black market warehouse.

The upper half was filled with Gu Dongcheng’s face, which was full of veins and anger.

Meng Chao saw several Blue Armbands aiming their cameras at Gu Dongcheng.

They were using shoulder professional equipment with multiple angles and positions. There were also people doing post-processing and data maintenance on the spot to ensure that Gu Dongcheng’s voice and image could be synchronized with the progress of the monster hunters. It was transmitted to the eyes of everyone on the scene in real-time and even spread across the entire Dragon City through the Internet.

Ai Lei was right.

These were all professionals.

The Azure Alliance had come prepared.

“All along, the low-level and middle-level superhumans of Dragon City, especially those like us who are born poor and have no power and influence, have always been plagued by the lack of cultivation resources. The cultivation resources that sustain our strength are either running out of stock every day or have high price tags. We can’t even afford it.”

Gu Dongcheng spoke slowly.

His voice suddenly turned from slightly shrill to deep and powerful, filled with a convincing charisma.

He was a completely different person from the naive and stubborn engineer that Meng Chao had remembered.

It seemed that during the year that Meng Chao had spent in tulanze, everyone in Dragon City had not been idle either. They were all striding on their respective journeys with their heads held high, achieving different levels of growth.

“Originally, we had all accepted the explanation from the transcendental tower and the gene potion manufacturers. We believed that there were objective reasons for the lack of cultivation resources.

“Due to the death of the monster’s main brain, a large number of wild hellish beasts and apocalyptic beasts were buried along with them. The quality of the raw materials of artificially bred monsters could not compare to wild monsters.

“The natural environment of the hidden fog domain is too weird. It’s like a tropical rainforest where the growth rate of plants is ten times faster than that of Earth. Developing such a ‘Super Tropical Rainforest’requires a lot of resources. In this critical period of development, we can only rely on everyone to overcome the difficulties.

“Exploring the vast foreign world beyond the monster mountain range also requires an astronomical amount of resources. In order for the people of Earth to achieve the grand goal of conquering the foreign world, many cultivation resources are temporarily out of stock. There’s nothing we can do about it.

“Yes, we used to believe these claims.

“Even though we are all on the black market and have spent seven to eight times the normal price to purchase cultivation resources, we are still unwilling to consider such a question — since cultivation resources are so scarce, where did the seemingly endless supply of gene reagents on the black market come from?

“Why is it that the black market scalpers are so resourceful and can obtain so many cultivation resources, while the transcendent tower’s flagship stores and direct stores are supposed to serve all Beyonders and supervise the entire circle of Beyonders, but they can’t even obtain a single cheap gene reagent?

“We are unwilling to voice such doubts. It’s not because we are stupid, it’s not because we are weak, and it’s also not because we like to be taken advantage of and get ripped off for nothing.

“Instead, we never expected that the people who control a large amount of cultivation resources would, would, would dare to do such a thing!

“What kind of people were they?

“They were the people who swore to protect Dragon City with their lives!

“They were the people who fought with us side by side, supported by us, and even made us willing to sacrifice ourselves for them!

“They were the people who received the flowers, Cheers, hugs, trust, and worship of all the citizens of Dragon City!

“They are the people who have grasped the power of transcendence and sainthood and stand at the peak of evolution. They are the people who should lead the entire civilization of Dragon City forward bravely!

“How much we trusted and worshipped these people, the unparalleled experts!

“We are like children in a kindergarten, naively believing that, while they have grasped the absolute power, the unparalleled experts will naturally have the lofty morality, pure personality, and selfless spirit, and automatically become the perfect saints.

“As the saying goes, ‘the stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility’. We took this saying as self-evident and self-evident axiom, but we never thought that the so-called ‘axiom’did not exist and was just a figment of our self-deception. What if the peerless experts betrayed their oath of the past, as well as everyone who deeply trusted and supported them? How would our civilization continue to exist in this cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak.

“Until today, such a shocking scene was presented in front of all of us.

“We finally can not be like ostriches anymore, burying our heads in the sand and pretending not to see the problems that have always existed in Dragon City, especially in the circle of Extraordinaires!”

Gu Dongcheng’s words were like a thunderbolt that came out of nowhere, echoing in the crowded street for a long time.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Many people could not help but clench their fists.

“So many gene reagents have been secretly leaked out of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and stored here. Their prices have been hyped up to five to six times, seven to eight times, or even more than ten times. They are trying to swindle us, the low-and middle-level Beyonders who have worked hard to exchange our lives for hard-earned money. This matter involves many aspects. There are dozens of links between the upper and lower levels. Just dragging some ‘black market bigshot’, such as the one who fell from the sky and fell freely, out to be a scapegoat is not something that can be fooled!”

Gu Dongcheng said resolutely, “Please Rest assured, all citizens. Our Azure Alliance will naturally help the transcendental tower to investigate the entire matter to the end.

“However, if we investigate the matter to the end, it will only result in the upper echelons of the pharmaceutical manufacturers. They are blinded by greed, corrupted by morals, and colluded with the outside world to create all these evil schemes. Do you think we will be able to let this matter rest?

“As you can see, the camera here shows clearly that the cultivation resources stored in the black market come from the manufacturers of the major genetic drugs in Dragon City. Almost all the well-known brands are not spared.

“If only one brand of genetic drugs is involved, we can explain it with the corrupted morality of the relevant managers and the insatiable greed.

“However, so many brands of genetic medicine are related to the black market transactions and involve the management of almost all the cultivation resources suppliers. We can not help but ask, are all the extraordinary individuals with high positions of authority morally corrupted and have insatiable desires?

“If that’s the case, then what factors caused these experts and heroes who fought bravely and fearlessly against the Blood Union and during the Monster War to transform into unrecognizable figures so quickly?”

Gu Dongcheng’s question stirred up a lot of discussion.

Extraordinary people were always very sensitive to cultivation resources.

Even the mediocre and low-level extraordinary people could see that the so many gene drugs stored in the black market were not something that the management of a certain pharmaceutical factory or a few pharmaceutical factories could obtain by deceiving the higher-ups and the lower-ups.

This was not the problem of a certain person or a few people.

It was a problem that they could not explain clearly and could not explain clearly. It was a problem of a higher level, the “General Environment.”.

“Everyone, of course, the problem of the underground black market has to be investigated thoroughly. However, in my opinion, the underground black market is only a symptom on the surface. The true root of dragon city’s illness is still hidden in a deeper level. If we do not fundamentally dismantle dragon city’s chronic disease, even if we destroy one underground black market today, there will still be more and more underground black markets emerging tomorrow. Even if we destroy all the underground black markets, we, the middle-level and low-level extraordinaires without power and influence, will not be able to easily obtain an astronomical number of cultivation resources like those people with great magical powers!”

Gu Dongcheng went straight to the point and said something shocking, “What is the chronic disease of Dragon City? In a word, some of the peerless experts and the forces firmly controlled by the peerless experts have become too powerful, so powerful that no one can supervise, balance, and restrain them!

“Any power needs to be checked and balanced.

“The stronger the power, the more transparent supervision and perfect restriction is needed.

“The power that has lost its balance can go out of control at any time and devour the owner of the power.

“Even the ancient kings knew that they could not combine the financial power, personnel power, and military power into the same general.

“Countless bloody history also tells us that once a general controls the financial power, personnel power, and the power to mobilize troops and expand his territory at will, no matter how loyal he is to his king, the uncontrollable and crazily expanding power under his command will completely devour him, turning him into a vassal town that can not be eliminated, or even a warlord in yellow robes!

“Many of the peerless experts in Dragon City today already possess extremely terrifying martial strength.

“The ancient warlords still needed to recruit their confidants, reorganize their troops, prepare provisions, and work together in order to unleash their overwhelming combat strength.

“Even so, even if an ancient warlord was powerful enough to dominate the court and the public, a short knife hidden in the belly of a fish, a sharp arrow covered in rust, and a bottle of colorless and tasteless poison could still easily take his life.

“After all, no matter how awe-inspiring he looked when he was wearing his armor, the person curled up in the armor was still an ordinary person. There was no essential difference between him and the most humble soldier under his command.

“But the peerless experts of dragon city are different.

“The peerless experts of Dragon City are an army in themselves.

“A Super Army whose logistical supply pressure is far less than that of a traditional army and whose stealth and mobility are greatly improved!

“This Super Army made up of one person is not afraid of being recalled by the twelve gold medals, controlled by the supervising army, or beheaded by assassins. Therefore, compared to the ancient warlords, it can use its power as it pleases, without any scruples, and decide the direction in which it should use its power
