Chapter 479: Enter the Lair, Begin Operation!

“The people in the lair never liked working with the people from the world outside. They’re also very wary of giving up the data in the lair. In the past, the Survival Committee thought about sending a large number of drones to scan the whole lair and use the heat from the data communications to get an estimate of its inhabitants, but the people in the lair interfered with the signal,” Shen Yupeng added by the side.

“This time, the people in the lair are showing great sincerity of working with us by being willing to share a large amount of critical data with us. That’s why we must act on our main goal and not let any accidents happen. The gray industries in the lair and the lost people who have been hiding in the past few decades are not the goal of the operation this time. The Deification Capsule’s factory and the creator are our main focus.

“At the end of the day, it’s only when we completely solve the problem of monsters that we can slowly bring down the lairs and lost people. As long as monsters exist, we cannot free up our hands to get rid of the ‘tumors’.”

These words were mainly for Meng Chao.

Shen Yupeng was worried that he would be too righteous and let his sense of justice fly over the roof. He did not want to see him not caring about anything and doing his own thing when he ran into a lost person in the lair.

But Meng Chao’s mental age was much higher than his real age when he carried out missions.

In his previous life, he had worked many times with demons for the sake of survival, and in the end, he even turned into a demon.

The Extraordinary Disaster was not synonymous with justice and hope.

Meng Chao understood the logic behind distinguishing the main goal and secondary goals.

He focused on reading the brief report of the mission that had just been projected to his retina.

[Over the past three days, hundreds of malicious crimes have happened in Dragon City. At least three hundred robbers have stolen a large amount of cultivation resources and fled into Golden Tooth Lair. We suspect that they are controlled by a mastermind going by the codename of Vortex. In the depths of Golden Tooth Lair is a factory that is creating the forbidden drug, Deification Capsule.

[Due to the unique nature of Golden Tooth Lair, the first wave of fighting forces entering the lair will be formed by the veteran hunters hired by various insurance companies.

[Your main task is to work with the people in the lair and, with their guidance, search through every suspicious area. You are also to chase after the two robbers with the locating chips implanted in them to find the factory creating the Deification Capsules and the Vortex. If possible, capture them.

[Pay attention to this: Ever since we gained victory in the northern offense, Dragon City has been expanding outward, and the distance between the Supernatural Tower and the new areas is almost twice as long as in the past. If we make calculations based on that, the new surface area of Dragon City is four times larger than in the past.

[There are around twenty new areas busy with construction. A lot of construction machines, crystal refinement equipment, and experts are necessary for the development of Dragon City.

[To protect these important human and material resources in Dragon City, the Red Dragon Army, secret police, the abnormal beast research department, and even normal superhumans have been spread out. The superhumans in every square meter are now one-quarter less than before.

[In consideration of the hundreds of crimes that happened over the past few days, it’s likely that this is just the start of the abnormal beasts’ offense. We need a lot of manpower and weapons to guard our crystal mines, refinement factories, power plants, water treatment plants, schools, residential areas, and other important sources of income that maintain the operations of our civilization. The other capture squads might not be able to arrive on time to provide reinforcements.

[The environment inside the lair is unprecedentedly complicated. There are five or sometimes even times more people living in one square meter than outside. If you attack, it is highly likely that it will lead to a lot of deaths and casualties among innocent citizens.

[Hence, the primary mission of the capture squad is to locate the targets, the secondary mission is to investigate, and the tertiary mission is to lock down the target. Ensure that everything is under control before you execute a capture and suppression mission that must succeed immediately.

[The most ideal situation is that you force the Vortex out of Golden Tooth Lair before you kill them with force.

[The secret police and abnormal beast research department have each contacted Deity Realm superhumans as the final solution.

[But the power of Deity Realm can destroy the world. Hence, if the Deity Realm superhumans bring out their full power in Golden Tooth Lair, not only will they injure a lot of innocent citizens by accident, there’s also a possibility that they will shock the lost people lurking in the lair.

[At that time, when these sinister lost people escape from the lair and flee to the alleys and streets of Dragon City, the situation will become so chaotic that we will be unable to solve it.

[We have limited time, and this is the information that we’ve got for the time being. The data of the operation and the summary of the mission will be renewed once every five minutes to provide you with the most accurate directions.]

Meng Chao whistled.

The neural tactical data link interactor was just too amazing. Fighting with the support of a lot of data was just awesome.

“Get ready to move out!”

Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and the veteran hunters had finished going through their data. Everyone was now connected to the same tactical network and could even share each other’s fields of vision and voices.

The logisticians from the secret police and the abnormal beast research department sent them the last replenishments—gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid.

Meng Chao took the gene medicine packed in a silver-white package. It looked like a sealed metallic tube. When he held it, it was incredibly light. There was a picture of an aquatic dragon that was dark red in color, had its teeth bared, and looked really angry on the surface.

“Raging Dragon Blood?”

Meng Chao could not help but gulp.

Raging Dragon Blood was the most powerful gene medicine Dragon City had created. There was nothing that could compare to it.

The main components of this gene medicine came from the blood of Apocalyptic Beasts.

And it was not like Dragon City could kill Apocalyptic Beasts every day.

Even if they managed to kill them, it was impossible for them to extract all their blood.

There was only a limited supply of Raging Dragon Blood in the market, and it was a treasure that countless superhumans could only dream of having.

As for its use…

There was no need to mention the boring aspect of adding to one’s parameters. To make a quick explanation of it, if Meng Chao were given a vial of Raging Dragon Blood, he would actually have the guts to go and kick an Apocalyptic Dragon’s butt!

“Everyone has gotten three vials of Raging Dragon Blood? That’s too spendthrift!” Meng Chao might not have felt faint earlier, but now, he actually felt a little faint.

He felt like he had just been hit by a train called Lucky.

“We’re entering the lair to capture unidentified criminals. It’s something really dangerous, so it’ll only be worth it if they give us rewards that are high enough for the trouble.” Snake Eye Mo Lan sashayed over and grinned at Meng Chao. “It’s fine. Dragon City’s insurance companies have plenty of money, so you don’t have to be frugal for them.”

Veteran hunters were considered mercenaries, so it was only natural that they would take up the job only when it offered a great reward. The three Raging Dragon Blood vials were considered the down payment.

But Meng Chao did not care about fame and profit. His main goal for joining the operation was to protect Dragon City’s peace and the future of human civilization.

So, he immediately tugged open his shirt collar and shoved the three vials of Raging Dragon Blood deep under Black Soul. When they were stuck to his stomach and he sensed the three cold and hard vials against his skin, he smiled sincerely.

“With these three Raging Dragon Blood vials, I can contribute even more to human civilization, that’s great!”

“I have this too. Do you want it?”

Snake Eye Mo Lan handed a black mud paste that gave off an earthy scent.

A lot of the veteran hunters held a handful of mud paste and spread it evenly over their hands before they covered their faces and hands with it.

As they continued rubbing and squeezing their faces, their skin tone and even the lines of their faces changed. Some people’s faces turned a little more swollen, others’ corners of the eyes and lips went up or down, yet others’ skin tone turned a waxy yellow or a light brown or they gained clear acne.

They all became someone completely different.

The faint killing intent that they had after surviving through countless battles and awe-inspiring presence was also suppressed to the limit.

Once they placed tattered cloaks on themselves, wore hoodies, and wide-rimmed sunglasses, they turned into gang members that could be seen everywhere in the lair.

Snake Eye Mo Lan sighed and put on the black mud as well.

Then, from a heroic huntress, she turned into a messy-looking middle-aged woman who had all her radiance robbed away by life.

Meng Chao realized that the black paste was the Disguise Gel. It was made of the slightly poisonous, unique fungi and microorganisms in the jungles to the south of Dragon City.

Just as the name implied, the Disguise Gel could stimulate and numb the muscles and nerves on a human’s face to change their faces and hide their presence.

Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and the other veteran hunters were all major celebrities with millions of fans on social media platforms and video broadcasting platforms.

The abnormal beasts might have a lot of eyes and ears spread out in the lair, so the hunters would stand out too much if they used their real faces to carry out their missions.

Meng Chao thought about it. Ever since he killed the Demonic Abyss Eye, he might be on the abnormal beasts’ list. They might be sharpening their claws and waiting to kill him.

He quickly grabbed a large clump of Disguise Gel and spread it over his face and hands. He even tugged open Black Soul’s collar and spread some of the gel on his throat and chest.

Along with a slight sting and itchiness, he noticed that he had turned into someone with thick lips, eyes of varying shapes, and dark skin.

Not even Bai Jiacao would be able to recognize him like that.

“Let’s go!”

Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong opened the lid to a secret tunnel at a corner of the storehouse.

During the era when zombies ran wild, the storehouse had stored more than half of the food from Golden Tooth Lair, so there was a secret tunnel that connected both of them.

Meng Chao followed the veteran hunters and moved in silence through the dark secret tunnel for ten minutes. They walked past broken fences and kicked away hundreds of rats and insects before they finally saw the stairs leading up.

The stairs led to a rather small garage.

It was filled with synthetic food made of earthworm meat and monster organs. They released a strong aroma, and it stung Meng Chao’s eyes a little.

There were a few people who wore huge cloaks, had hoodies on, and goggles inside the room. They hid their weapons and gazes while observing them discreetly. They should be their handlers in the lair.

Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong went forward and extended his hands into the cloak of one of the handlers.

This handler also pushed his hands under Zhou Chong’s cloak.

This was a unique greeting among those in the lair.

It was the same as a handshake outside.

Of course, it would not be wrong to say that they were checking whether the other was carrying lethal weapons on them.

No, it was par for the course for the people in the lair to carry around lethal weapons. The only difference was how “lethal” they were and how many of such weapons they brought with them.
