Chapter 1498 Wishing the World Wouldn’t Fall Into Chaos
Ai Lei’s side was filled with people.
The angry roars of the customers, who had queued up all night for nothing, stirred up a storm.
Even Meng Chao, who was on the other end of the line, could feel their power that was hotter than lava.
“Ai Lei, how’s the situation on your side?” Meng Chao asked.
However, he discovered that the brain waves of several hundred superhumans were interfering with their wireless communication. The conversation between them was unstable.
“Senior, where exactly have you been? The situation here is about to get out of control!”
Ai Lei found a quiet corner and whispered, “A lot of fully-armed law enforcement officers, secret police, investigators, and supervisors of the drug administration are here, but it’s useless. Their appearance has instead triggered the customers who are burning with anger. I feel that the brain waves of hundreds of mid-level and low-level superhumans are about to resonate with each other under the impetus of spirit energy!”
Brain wave resonance was a unique phenomenon in the Other World.
On the positive side, the brain waves and vitality magnetic fields of hundreds of soldiers would gradually surge at the same frequency in a desperate fight. When they reached a state where they were united against the same enemy, it was likely that they would fuse together, and a War Soul would be produced.
The envelopment of a War Soul could fully enhance the soldiers’ physical strength, vitality, and combat ability. It could even allow ordinary people to display extraordinary strength in a short period of time.
On the negative side, when someone was consumed by intense fear or anger, their soul index would skyrocket and plummet. If they broke the bottom line or exceeded their limits, they would continuously send out fearful or furious brain waves to the outside world.
Their mental state would also be like a raging wildfire, constantly infecting the people around them, causing everyone to fall into a state of collective fear or collective rage.
Hundreds of mid-to low-level extraordinaires would fall into a state of Brainwave Resonance and collective rage.
That was definitely something even more terrifying than a beast tide.
“This is a downtown area. Once the situation escalates, the consequences will be unimaginable. We have to think of a way to help these mid-to low-level extraordinaires vent their anger. We also have to fundamentally solve their problems.”
Meng Chao rubbed the bridge of his nose and pondered for a moment before saying, “Ai lei, I’ve found the giant-toothed Crocodile’s nest.”
“What?”
Ai lei asked in surprise, “Where is it?”
“Just to the southeast of you, there’s a Xinhui business building. It’s the building with a huge sun symbol inlaid on the top and three eyes in the Sun.”
Meng Chao said, “The distance from you in a straight line is less than 200 meters. I wonder if you can see it?”
“Xinhui Trade?”
Ai lei immediately said, “I know that place!”
“That’s good. Between the 33rd and 37th floors of this building, there should be a large-scale cultivation resource warehouse hidden in the dark. What’s stored in it are all monster ingredients and genetic potions from unknown sources. If I’m not wrong, these items definitely can’t be used to prove that they are purchased, paid taxes, or approved to be sold in the Transcendental Tower.”
Meng Chao said, “These customers have been causing a ruckus for a long time. Among them, there are a few leaders who are louder and more authoritative. Do they dare to fight and fight?”
“Yes.”
Ai lei said, “One of them is the bald man we saw just now.”.
“There’s also an old hunter who has two arms and left legs that have been replaced with mechanical prosthetics. His hair and beard are all white. I heard that he has been fighting in the wilderness for a full thirty years. He is one of the oldest among the oldest. Many ace hunters who were able to command the world during the later stages of the monster wars were brought into the field by him.
“Half of his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys have been replaced with artificial organs. He walks with a shaky gait. Regardless of whether it’s the secret police, investigators, the Drug Administration, or the staff of the transcendental tower, none of them dare to touch him. Even if he spits on their faces, they can only smile and play along
“By the way, there’s another one. I saw him at a gathering of the remnant star a.s.sociation. He seems to be a lawyer. He is running for a seat on the survival committee.
“This lawyer is trying his best to control the situation. He hopes that everyone can be reasonable, forceful, and moderate. He wants to pressure the transcendental tower to solve the problem.
“If not for him, I’m afraid that the entire monster market would have been torn down by the angry customers!”
“That’s good.”
Meng Chao said, “Baldy doesn’t count. That Baldy is too violent. Ai Lei, do you have any way to call the old hunter and lawyer to the side and tell them that you accidentally discovered the giant-toothed Crocodile’s lair?
“Since the giant-toothed crocodile is so famous in the monster market in the south of the city, many customers have been killed in his black market. I think that everyone must be very interested in the giant-toothed crocodile’s black market warehouse, right?
“There are at least three to five hundred low-level extraordinaires gathered in the monster market. And I believe that if they call their friends, the number of people will at least increase by three to five times, or even more. It will be enough to surround the small Xinhui business building.
“However, you have to make it clear to the old hunter and the lawyer. All you have to do is surround Xinhui business building. With so many monster ingredients and genetic potions, as well as larger storage facilities, it’s impossible to smuggle them out.
“Surround the building and put pressure on the transcendental tower. We can investigate it layer by layer. We will definitely be able to get to the bottom of it. When that happens, everyone will be able to buy authentic resources at a fair price.
“Do not rush in on a whim.
“If there is a conflict that causes collateral damage, it will be unreasonable.
“Do you know how to tell them?”
“Don’t worry, senior, don’t Worry!”
Ai lei turned excited. Her voice revealed a sense of wanting the world to be in chaos. “Ai Lei, I know best how to make the matter bigger, but I have always been at the edge of the bottom line. I will never cross the line.
“Just leave it to me. I know how to tell the old hunters and lawyers to organize everyone!”
“Very good.”
Meng Chao said, “Also, on the thirty-third floor of Xinhui commercial building, there is a specially decorated club. There are nearly a hundred people of unknown origins who are extremely extravagant in bidding for non-renewable rare resources. “I very reasonably suspect that all the rare resources they are bidding for are not registered in the transcendental tower, nor have they paid any resource taxes or luxury taxes. It has resulted in a large loss of strategic resources that should belong to all the citizens of Dragon City.
“Just the dragon egg that is about to be auctioned is likely worth more than three to five hundred boxes of dragon elephant bone strengthening injections.
“These guys are so young, and their combat ability is so ordinary. Where did they get so much money? “Thinking about it carefully, the problem is really shocking
“These guys seem to have a very strong relationship. Before you guys came to surround them, they probably received the news and ran away.
“So, I want to know if you have any connections to leak this underground auction to the media first?”
Ai Lei was silent for a moment.
“Of course, there are media connections.”
Ai lei said, “However, most of the people who are qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the giant-toothed crocodile’s auction are the descendants of the nine major cultivation families.
“Most of the media in Dragon City have connections with the nine major corporations. It’s very difficult to expose such a thing.”
Meng Chao asked, “Are there any media that have nothing to do with the nine major corporations?”
“That’s not true.”
Ai lei said, “The media supported by the war G.o.d’s Temple, the remnant star society, the Red Dragon Army, blue homeland, and the superstars group are naturally happy to expose the problems of the nine corporations.
“After all, recently, the forces and the nine corporations have been at each other’s throats because of the conflict between the ‘Progress Plan’and the ‘National Training’.
“The war G.o.d’s Temple, the remnant star society, the Blue Homeland, and the Superstars Group have already gained the upper hand.
“The survival committee has decided to push forward the ‘National Training’plan. There are not many resources that can be used for external colonization for the time being.
“However, the explosion of the crystal warehouse of the Red Creek Creek Creek project, which happened outside the monster mountain range last night, has made the situation even more complicated.
“Faced with the threat of the native creatures from other worlds, the ‘advance plan’of the nine corporations is likely to win the support of the citizens and more than two-thirds of the representatives.
“At this critical moment, the media supported by the war G.o.d Temple, the remnant star society, the Blue Homeland, and the superstars group will certainly be interested in exposing the underground auction.
“However, even the media may not be able to catch the descendants of the wealthy families. As long as they are not caught red-handed at the auction, they have a hundred impeccable reasons to appear in the Xinhui Business Building
“I know. I’m not interested in the children of the wealthy families, either. I just want to lure the fire into the nine n.o.ble families of cultivation.”
Meng Chao smiled. “Believe me, as long as the fire is big enough, many snakes, insects, rats, and ants lurking in the nine n.o.ble families of cultivation will reveal their true forms and jump out on their own
