1770 Underground Passageway

An unprecedented search-and-capture operation that covered the entire city was immediately launched.

Tens of thousands of superhumans joined the search.

Half an hour later, they intercepted Yun Feidian’s mobile office bus at a checkpoint in the south of the city’s high-speed hub.

Capturing a Deity Realm warrior was equivalent to intercepting a nuclear missile that could explode at any time.

If they were not careful, all the buildings and living beings within a few kilometers would be destroyed.

Therefore, not only were all the captors on guard but there were also a few Deity Realm warriors present, ready to stop Yun Feidian’s last desperate attack.

However, when the captors held their breath and moved forward carefully, tearing apart the mobile office with violence to force its driver out, they found that the vehicle was empty. With the exception of several dozen dark screens, there was no sign of Yun Feidian or the Blood Alliance leaders.

Meanwhile, the driver foamed at the mouth, twitched, and fainted the moment they cornered him.

After an examination, it was found that a control chip had been implanted in his brain. It could output a weak bioelectric current to stimulate the brain and produce a reaction similar to epilepsy.

Such a reaction would not only prevent him from undergoing a high-intensity interrogation, but it might even erase part of his short-term memory, making him unable to remember what had happened in the past 24 hours.

It was obvious that this was bait that had been prepared long ago.

The problem was, where was the real Yun Feidian now?

…

At the same time, in the southwest of Dragon City…

This place had once been Dragon City’s heavy industrial base during the Monster War. It was filled with smelters, steel factories, machinery factories, crystal power stations, and other key facilities that Dragon City relied on to survive.

Therefore, it had become the target of many beast horde outbreaks.

Human warriors had been there countless times in that heroic age of turbulent winds and raging flames of war. They had used their flesh and blood to form dams, sacrificing their lives to ignite extraordinary powers, blocking the overwhelming beast tide, and covering the production of the workers.

The ordinary workers without any extraordinary power, on the other hand, had the courage to work overtime day and night to produce a large number of bullets, guns, and even tanks and armored vehicles. They braved the rumbling cannons, the heart-wrenching howls of the monsters, and even the destructive attacks of the Apocalyptic Beasts. They formed a rolling torrent of steel and turned into the sabers in the hands of the superhumans, turning the place into a burning stage for heroes who risked their lives.

In the later stages of the Monster War, the Dragon City civilization had gone from defense to offense. Human living space expanded greatly, and in places with more abundant resources such as Raging Waves Mountain Range, they built a large number of satellite cities, industrial bases, and high-tech development zones.

The old factory district located in the main city had successfully completed its historical mission. As a large number of people and facilities were moved out, it gradually fell silent, leaving only ruins full of monster scratches on top of pits filled with guns and shells, as well as rails and daggers that had been melted into scrap metal. They silently told the impassioned, singable stories of the past.

After their victory in the Monster War, the grand old city reconstruction plan began. With the new plan. they hoped to be transformed into “Spirit Energy Industry 2.0 Complex,” which reminisced about history, looked into the future, and combined the remains of old industries with high-tech research and development.

However, plans were exactly that, plans.

After many years of intense battles, the acid and poison from the monsters had seeped into the ground, making it very difficult to clean up.

Now, there was plenty of living space around Dragon City. Instead of demolishing all the old buildings there and spending a huge amount of money to purify the land, it was better to open up a new satellite town in the area rich in crystal resources outside the city. The cost was low and the results were immediate—as the saying went, “without any burdens or baggage, they could be creative”!

No one knew when it would be demolished and rebuilt. Therefore, even today, when the entire Dragon City was in chaos, the old factory area remained deserted. No one cared about it.

Of course, realizing that the higher-ups of the Blood Alliance were likely to escape, the relevant departments still strengthened the control over the old factory area.

Hundreds of light armored vehicles suitable for street fighting and several superhumans blocked every road from the old factory area to the outside of the city.

There were also twelve armored airships belonging to the Red Dragon Army. They carried high-precision observation equipment that were originally used to lock onto small monsters such as snakes, insects, rats, and ants. They looked down from above and repeatedly scanned the streets and the interior of the buildings.

However, what the pursuers did not realize, or rather, even if they did, they could not completely block, was the dense, crisscrossing underground tubes that looked like capillary vessels and neural networks deep below the old factory area.

This complicated underground pipeline system was a strong guarantee for the human defenders to be able to obtain an endless stream of weapons and raw materials from other places when the Monster War was at its most intense.

To prevent the monsters from digging and cutting them off, not only were the underground pipes buried extremely deep, but they were also extremely sturdy and hidden. They were often connected in all directions with branches everywhere and intersections everywhere. Even if half of them were destroyed by the Apocalyptic Beasts, the other half could still operate normally to ensure the water supply, power supply, and heat supply of the factory area, as well as to maintain the minimum level of industrial production.

In fact, the monsters with high intelligence had indeed targeted the underground pipeline system time and time again.

Some of the high-tier deadly beasts would bombard the tubes, while some of the smaller deadly beasts such as snakes, insects, rats, and ants were worming their way into the tubes to destroy and pollute them.

At its worst, two-thirds of the underground pipelines were blocked, cut off, polluted, and occupied.

Mankind’s countermeasure was to excavate and establish new and more underground tubes.

They had even buried countless fake pipes that led to the death trap.

The result of the battle of wits and courage between the two sides after decades of tug-of-war was that the underground of this old factory area had the largest scale and the most complicated structure in Dragon City. It was a pipe network system that was like a maze woven from hemp.

Even if the Apocalyptic Beast leads tens of millions of monsters, it can forget about breaking through our underground fortress!

When the Monster War was at its most intense, the human defenders who defended this place once proudly declared this.

They had also used their blood and blades to defend their promise.

In fact, not only could this pipe network serve as the strongest underground fortress, but it could also block the invasion of the beast tide.

There were even countless secret passages that extended all the way from the underground to the outside. After extending for several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers, they went straight into the thick forests and even the high mountains on the periphery of Dragon City.

These underground passages were convenient for the Red Dragon Army and the superhumans to move secretly from the underground to the outside of the city. They could circle around to the rear of the beast tide and catch the enemy off guard.

It was also used to transport weapons, ammunition, and construction materials, to help humans build forward bases or deploy mines on the periphery of Dragon City. The fortress strategy was used to gradually expand the living space.

Even today, when history had long been completed, some of the underground passages were still unimpeded. They were only blocked by collapsed buildings or submerged in the wild growth of the jungle.
