Chapter 602: A Clue That Is Not a Clue
When Meng Chao left the ground, it was already late at night on the ground.
In order to facilitate the rescue, the Chaocheng gang installed dozens of high-power searchlights on the roofs of more than a dozen high-rise buildings, and the dazzling pillars of light tore through the smoke and reflected the night as if it were day.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes, feeling dizzy.
He was still digesting and absorbing the bombshell dropped by Suren and the turbulent waves set off.
Su Lun's confession contained too much information, and until this moment, Meng Chao's brain cells were still hot, and he had a headache for this incomparably amazing piece of information.
Lu Siya also ended the interrogation of the former Grim Reaper team members such as "Wandering Spirit" Zhongli.
Judging from the strong smell of blood that lingered all around her body, her interrogation was "smooth".
"The former members of the Reaper team don't know where the 'whirlpool' is hiding, mainly because this guy is ever-changing, and can turn into anyone at will, and in the case of being separated from the human body, it is a puddle of life forms that are softer than slugs, semi-liquid lifeforms, and with only a gap of more than a millimeter thick, it can get into it, escape, and disappear."
Lu Siya said, "The good news is that Zhongli and the others have confessed a few dens, we have captured a group of their accomplices, and we have also found a large number of powerful psionic weapons and spar bombs with amazing destructive power, and of course, hundreds of god transformation capsules - if they are not stopped in time, these weapons, ammunition and genetic potions will definitely destroy the nest city completely."
"Now the open flames on the outskirts of Chaocheng have basically been extinguished.
"Song Jinbo and Xiong Wei are leading the Chaocheng gang to inspect important facilities including spiritual energy pipelines and flammable and explosive warehouses, chasing down the fish that have slipped through the net, and eliminating all hidden dangers.
"Although the spiritual magnetic interference is still very serious, but with the use of high-power mine-specific communicators, we have finally built a bridge of information with the outside world, I have reported everything that happened here to Director Ye, the outside world is very shocked by the truth of the 'Battle of Chaocheng', and is also actively raising materials and manpower, preparing to receive a large number of wounded, sick and refugees in Chaocheng.
"Director Ye told me that by 12 a.m. at the latest, a large-scale temporary hospital will be set up on the edge of Chaocheng, which has the capacity to test thousands of patients per hour, and as long as it is tested, they can be evacuated to the outside world after testing to ensure that the residents of Chaocheng do not carry deadly bacteria, viruses and spores in their bodies.
With such assurance, the faces of the Chaocheng gang are finally slightly better, and they can work harder to solve the problems of the leprosy village.
"Just now, Su Mulian has already returned to Leprosy Village with the envoy of the Chaocheng Gang, under the protection of the 'Remnant Sword' Ye Xiaoyue, to discuss the issue of rescue and evacuation with the Wild Wolf Gang.
"The Chaocheng gang, with the fastest speed and the greatest sincerity, also evacuated the space around the leprosy village, set up camps, and raised supplies, and it is expected that the first batch of about 800 to 1,000 leprosy villagers will be able to take refuge - although the number is not much, it is a good start after all, and I believe that the remaining leprosy villagers will be able to show more patience and grit their teeth to survive this crisis when they see that the problem is beginning to be solved.
"In short, except for the 'whirlpool' that has not yet settled, everything is going in a good direction...... Meng Chao, why have you been thoughtful and worried, is Su Lun unwilling to explain honestly? ”
"No, he did."
Meng Chao smiled bitterly, "He explained more than I wanted, so much that my brain was about to explode." ”
Meng Chao threw the bombshell dropped by Su Lun and stuffed it into Lu Siya's arms.
After listening to his story, Lu Siya's eyes were also a little straight.
"The leader of the monster civilization is a human?" She asked incredulously.
"The leader of the monster civilization, 'once' was a human." Meng Chao added an accent.
Lu Siya thought for a moment and said, "In other words, now this human has become a strange appearance, similar to a monster, or a demon more terrifying than a monster?" ”
"I don't know, Su Lun didn't say it, and he didn't see the leader of the monster civilization with his own eyes, he just listened to the relay of the alien beast's 'whirlpool'."
Meng Chao said, "The Alien Beast 'Vortex' was not described in particular detail, but only told Su Lun that it would not be long before he would see the true face of the leader of the Monster Civilization with his own eyes. ”
"That's the 'whirlpool' deceiving people, using this kind of lie to dispel the last trace of concern in Su Lun's heart."
Lu Siya said, "The leader of the monster civilization is a human? How can it be! ”
"I don't think what 'Vortex' says is 100% a lie."
Meng Chao said, "I have been in close contact with the 'whirlpool', if it weren't for the extremely deep understanding of human civilization, as a monster, it would never be able to disguise human beings so vividly."
"And the existence of those former members of the Grim Reaper Squad, as well as the 'Vortex' to lure the unemployed vagrants in the slums, take the Divine Transformation Capsule, and become murderous bandits without blinking, which involves human life sciences, social psychology, and criminology...... Expertise in multiple fields, do you think, it is a monster that drinks blood in the deep mountains and old forests, can it be self-taught?
"Regardless of whether the leader of the monster civilization is a human or not, the monster civilization is a new civilization born from the inspiration and influence of human civilization, even if they are hideous and ugly as demons on the outside, they are inextricably linked with us in their bones.
"Think about it from another perspective, if you are a super monster who has just turned on your intelligence and wants to create and upgrade your own civilization, isn't the best way to capture a few humans and learn from your worst enemy?"
"That's right."
Lu Siya admitted, "In the secret files of the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, it is true that many humans were captured by monsters and did not eat them directly, but they carried out various research records, and even some monsters can directly read human memories by devouring human brains, and it is not surprising that they learn the way of thinking and social organization of human beings."
"But how can a human who has been captured by monsters turn into the leader of a monster civilization?"
"That's another story."
Meng Chao said, "Perhaps, what the 'whirlpool' said is an exaggeration, or perhaps, this so-called 'human leader' is just a puppet pushed to the fore by the monster civilization."
"The benefits of concocting a human puppet are obvious.
"If the monster civilization is full of demons and monsters, and refuses to accept the surrender of humans, then everyone will fight to the end, even if the monster civilization can really destroy Dragon City, it will definitely pay an extremely tragic price.
"And having a human leader, even if it's just a puppet, can allow many people like 'Su Lun' to cross the psychological barrier and moral bottom line, and die for the monster civilization.
"They can deceive themselves and others, believing that they are not reduced to the minions of monsters, but are loyal to the human beings behind the monster civilization, and the so-called monster civilization is just another form of human civilization that is more adapted to the otherworldly environment."
"It's horrible."
Lu Siya couldn't help but shudder and muttered, "This piece of information is indeed a bombshell that has the potential to change the direction of the war, no, I must report it to my superiors immediately." ”
"Wait, this piece of information is indeed very important, but the imminent threat is still the 'whirlpool' of alien beasts."
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we must find it out, and the 'Battle of Chaocheng' can be completely won." ”
"What if it's already gone?"
Lu Siya asked, "It has been several hours since we caught 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun and 'Wandering Soul' Zhongli, but the alien beast 'Vortex' has not moved.
"I believe that it must still have a hidden intelligence channel in the nest city, and it can know the fate of Su Lun and Zhongli for the first time, the victory and defeat have been decided, and there is no reason for it to continue to stay here."
"No, I haven't decided the winner of the game with it yet!"
Meng Chao said, "I believe that the alien beast 'Vortex' must have a deeper conspiracy, and it will not be so easy to escape with its tail between its legs." ”
"Why?"
Lu Siya said, "On what basis do you think that it still has a conspiracy?" ”
"The conspiracy we are stopping now is known to 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun and 'Wandering Soul' Zhongli, and they will carry it out."
Meng Chao said, "If you are a 'whirlpool' of alien beasts, will you tell your subordinates all your plans and pin all your hopes on a group of humans?" ”
“……”
Lu Siya pondered for a moment, then raised her hand in surrender, "Okay, you're right, it's really impossible for the alien beast 'Vortex' to pin all its hopes on Su Lun and the others, but in this way, our clues will all be cut off, do we have to be stupid here all the time, waiting for the alien beast 'Vortex' to make a move?" ”
"No, there's one more clue."
Meng Chao's expression suddenly became very strange, "A clue that is not a clue." ”
……
Five minutes later.
Meng Chao took Lu Siya back to the depths of the Alloy Gladiatorial Arena.
It's deeper than the monster cage where Suren was imprisoned.
Surrounded by unfinished rooms and tunnels, littered with disorganized building materials and rubbish.
There was also a dark, cold, shaft, which let out a faint whimper at every moment.
Meng Chao listened to the edge of the shaft for a moment.
Then it fell lightly.
When he landed like dead leaves, he didn't find half a figure under the shaft.
There were only a few faint traces of blood.
Join him in the secret passage and infiltrate the alloy arena, but the leper boy "Aji", who fell down while climbing the shaft, disappeared.
Meng Chao didn't even shake his eyelashes, neither surprised nor worried, as if he had expected this result a long time ago.
"Sister Ya, you are a sensitive person, your perception is particularly keen, help me track down someone."
Meng Chao said, "No, don't care about the blood stains on the ground and on the wall of the well, this is very likely that the other party is suspicious and pointing us in the wrong direction."
"You just need to sense if there are any red glow jade ripples around you - I used monster slime to rub a small pinch of red glow jade crystal powder behind the other party's back."
