Chapter 1477 Dragon City!
Meng Chao coughed dryly.
A dangerous light blossomed in his eyes.
However, Ai Lei had already completely recovered from the fear of falling off the cliff.
Perhaps she had also figured out that it was better to die of poverty than fall to her death. There was no way out for her. This mysterious peerless expert in front of her was her last hope!
“No, there’s no reason. For a top-notch expert like this senior to casually make a move, how could he not be able to get a mountain of gold and silver? How could he be short of money?” Ai Lei muttered to herself.
The light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter. “However, thinking about it carefully, this senior’s appearance is indeed quite strange. Logically speaking, with his strength, there must be a powerful and wealthy organization behind him. He has thousands of troops under him, ready to serve him at any time. How could they let him personally take action to deal with these useless men from Universe Corporation?
“Could it be… Could it be that this senior has encountered some difficulties?”
This woman’s sense of smell was really sharp.
The more she a.n.a.lyzed, the more excited she became. As if she had made up her mind, she suddenly punched her fist. “It’s Alright, Senior. No matter what difficulties you encounter, Ai Lei will be able to help you solve them. I’ll be at your service!”
Meng Chao snorted coldly. “I need you to ‘solve the problems’?”
“In terms of combat ability, of course, I can’t even compare to one of senior’s little fingers.”
Ai lei giggled, “However, if senior wants to find someone to get some information and spread some rumors to contact the major organizations, but doesn’t want to show up in public, these are all within my scope of business. I guarantee that I can help senior do it beautifully!”
Meng Chao pondered. If he didn’t want to expose his ident.i.ty for the time being…
He wouldn’t be able to use any of the channels he had in the past.
Although ai lei’s professional ethics was very questionable…
He couldn’t find a more suitable candidate in a short period of time.
Besides, Ai Lei had long been involved in the whirlpool. The Blood Union would find her sooner or later.
Meng Chao couldn’t just watch the blood union kill one innocent person after another.
He could even use AI lei to lure out the new blood union members.
Thinking of this, he said to Ai lei, “I have a batch of natural treasures. Can you help me find a suitable buyer?” “Natural Treasures?”
Ai Lei’s eyes lit up as her imagination ran wild.
“I had some grudges with some people from the universal group.”
Meng Chao satisfied her curiosity. “When we were settling the grudges, I was seriously injured and was knocked off the cliff by the other party. I was lucky to survive and fell into a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy.
“It was a blessing in disguise. I had been cultivating in seclusion for a long time in the blessed land, and I just came out of seclusion. I’m not well-informed, and I don’t know anything about the recent changes in Dragon City. I do need a guide.
“The heavenly materials and earthly treasures that I brought out from the blessed land are very special in shape. It’s easy for people to trace them back to me.
“For the time being, I don’t want to be exposed, lest I arouse the vigilance of my enemy.
“Therefore, I hope to find a reliable buyer. The price is not a problem. The key is to keep my mouth shut and never reveal the details of the deal
“I see!”
Ai Lei’s eyes rolled over and over again.
She racked her brain crazily, and a series of eighty episodes, which involved family, money, beauty, ethics, betrayal, and revenge, had been generated in her mind automatically.
Meng Chao was not afraid of her imagination, either.
For Super Enterprises like Universal Group and Atlas Group, which had made their fortune by exploiting crystals, it was impossible for Meng Chao to be afraid of Meng Chao’s imagination.
The conflicts over the crystal veins were extremely complicated. Who did not have a hundred and eighty enemies? They were too embarra.s.sed to greet their peers.
Based on the ambiguous information, AI lei could not confirm whether it was true or not, let alone connect it to his real ident.i.ty.
“Yes!”
As expected, Ai Lei did not doubt it at all, at least on the surface.
She nodded heavily. “I know some very reliable buyers. As long as the goods are genuine, they will definitely not care about the price or the origin of the heavenly materials and Earthly Treasures!”
“Very good.” Meng Chao stared at Ai Lei. “As long as you have money, you will be able to find that broker friend and find the informant through Him?”
“I Promise!”
Ai lei nodded again. “As long as you have money, there is nothing that I, Ai Lei, can not
do
“If you want me to believe you –“
Meng Chao said, “Then help us think of a way to return to Dragon City with a fake name and ident.i.ty!”
The two of them wandered around the mining area until dawn.
They had never heard of any other accidents besides the explosion of the Crystal Warehouse in the Red Creek Creek project.
Meng Chao couldn’t find any suspicious-looking guys either.
It seemed that the blood union had achieved their tactical goals and was once again in the dark.
Indeed, the explosion of the crystal warehouse alone was enough to arouse the anxiety and hatred of the people of Dragon City.
Apart from the Red Creek project, Meng Chao heard people talking about the threat of the orcs in several crystal mines.
There were also people who couldn’t wait for a brand new war.
As the sky became brighter, the torrential rain that had been raging for the whole night finally turned into drops of water.
The raging flood gradually receded, revealing the broken walls that had been soaked in the mountain torrents and mud for the whole night.
The order of the mining area was still not restored, and there were chaotic crowds everywhere.
Many survivors were so frightened that they temporarily lost the ability to move or even speak.
There were also many people who had been washed away by the flood and lacked something to prove their ident.i.ty.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Meng Chao and Ai Lei easily obtained dozens of work cards and identification cards, as well as seven or eight sets of various types of work clothes that were similar to their bodies.
Due to the need of work, Ai Lei herself was an expert in disguising herself.
However, Meng Chao’s skill in changing his appearance made her even more flabbergasted, exclaiming that it was inconceivable.
Dragon City’s ident.i.ty identification system was very crude. Up until now, there was still no city-wide internet-connected ident.i.ty database.
On one hand, because dragon city’s spiritual and magnetic environment was very complicated, the wireless network was often disturbed by spiritual storms, and the cable was often broken because of monsters gnawing on it.
Although humans claimed to have won the monster war, those enormous apocalyptic beasts that could destroy the world were indeed suppressed by human will, sabers, steel guns, iron fists, tracks, and train cannons.
However, insect-type monsters and rodent-type monsters that were extremely small and had high reproductive ability were another matter.
Things such as mutated c.o.c.kroaches and Spiritualized rats, even if the Red Dragon Army and all the extraordinaires were mobilized to carry out numerous sweeping operations in the city, they would never be eliminated.
On the other hand, the main enemies of humans in the past were either zombies or monsters.
Whether they were zombies or monsters, their appearances were very different from normal people. They could be seen at a glance without using the identification system.
Therefore, with these dozens of badges and identification cards found in the ruins, Meng Chao and Ai Lei, who had changed their appearances, could stay low-key in Dragon City for a long time.
At around 10 a.m. , the airs.p.a.ce above the mining area became calm, meeting the requirements of restarting the route.
Dozens of armored airships, full of wounded people, set off one after another.
Although each crystal mine had its own medical room.
After all, it was only to prepare for common diseases and common accidents in the mines. The number of medical equipment and medical personnel was quite limited. They could not accommodate thousands of casualties caused by floods and torrential rain.
Therefore, the moment the route was restarted, each crystal mine suspended the task of transporting resources to Dragon City. They gathered all the armored airships and sent the wounded back to the rear.
Meng Chao and Ai Lei were also among them.
As soon as the armored airships were launched, Meng Chao felt the rapid technological development of Dragon City in the past year.
Compared to the armored airships he had seen in Dragon City a few years ago.
After the Monster War, these armored airships had been upgraded and modified. They had smaller airbags, larger pods, lighter frame structure, and a more agile, streamlined, flying fish-like shape.
With the same amount of air filling, Meng Chao estimated that the capacity of the new armored airship could reach at least 150% of the past.
As for the faint vibration coming from below the deck, Meng Chao could also sense that the sixteen crystal engines on both sides and at the rear of the armored airship were operating strongly and stably, the crystal reaction efficiency was also greatly improved compared to the past.
The most direct effect of this improvement was that the climbing speed of the new armored airship was almost twice as fast as before.
The once insurmountable chasm — The Monster Mountain Range that pierced into the sky like a forest of swords and halberds, was now conquered by humans step by step.
Soon, the mountain peak that was once shrouded in mist and unclimbable swept past the feet of humans.
And the progress of Dragon City was not only reflected in the ice-cold machinery.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The huge pod was packed full of injured people. All the injured people were smeared with ointment made of crystal powder and monster materials. Meng Chao could smell the refreshing medicinal fragrance, i smell several genetic agents that used to be quite valuable.
It seems that once only extraordinary people can use genetic medicine, now into the thousands of households, even basic miners are eligible to enjoy.
Also, in a corner of the pod, four relatively advanced medical pods were installed.
Meng Chao had only seen similar facilities in the intensive care unit of a large general hospital in the past. Now, they had actually been allocated to a mobile medical station.
“It seems that our efforts have not been in vain.
“Although the doomsday threat has yet to be resolved, Dragon City today is already a hundred times stronger than anything I’ve seen in any Nightmare!”
Meng Chao muttered to himself.
At this moment, a few rays of golden sunlight shone through the porthole and into the pod, stirring up a commotion.
Many survivors who were slightly injured struggled to sit up and leaned against the porthole. No matter how the fierce sunlight dazzled their eyes, they could not take their eyes off the magnificent scene below, then, they exclaimed with mixed feelings:
“Look, Dragon City!
“We’re home!”
