Chapter 550: God of Fog of War Battles
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
The room where Meng Chao had stayed before turned into a fireworks factory.
Along with the strong light and shock waves came colorful flames. They quickly turned into smoke that was such a brilliant shade of red and purple that it looked like it was rotting.
The smoke spread out really quickly and instantly encompassed the streets in the area. It engulfed all the attackers in it.
“Careful! Poison!”
When the attackers smelled the foul and acidic scent in the air, quite a few of them felt their skins crawl.
Over the past few decades, Leprosy Village was synonymous to viruses and plagues.
And monsters were especially skilled at creating zombie viruses and fatal spores.
Who knew what sort of terrifying creatures were hiding in the colorful smoke?
The attackers had come prepared, however.
They immediately put on full anti-epidemic suits so not an inch of their skin could be seen and highest-grade poison filtration masks. They even used compressed oxygen tanks to ensure that they would not take in even a breath of the fatal smog.
But the price for wearing the anti-epidemic suits and poison filtration masks was a much more limited field of vision. The goggles of the poison filtration mask were also stained, so they were unable to see clearly.
Since they wore anti-epidemic clothes, their senses also became relatively dull.
The crystal powder Meng Chao had mixed into the inflammable substance had also released spirit energy ripples while it burned, which interfered with the superhumans’ spirit energy circulation and creation of spirit energy magnetic fields.
The situation instantly turned chaotic, and everyone was caught off guard.
Hence, while remaining absolutely tense, the attackers in front cast all their attention to the area ahead of them. No one noticed a panther-like black shadow entering the smog at lightning speed from behind them.
The real hunter had arrived!
Slap!
Meng Chao dashed forward at full speed, and the first attacker was sent flying by getting hit in the back.
This pitiful man was like a bowling ball. He crashed into half of the squad in front of him and knocked them off their feet.
Meng Chao seized that moment to go forward with his back bent. While holding a sturdy diamond in his hand, he stabbed a few attackers’ poison filtration masks.
Crack! Crack!
The masks shattered right away, and a large amount of acidic and foul-smelling smoke seeped in.
The attackers cried out and covered their throats while foaming at their mouths.
The smoke was completely harmless and normal, but the men were extremely terrified of it, so the effect was even better than when smog was released.
Meng Chao did not stay around to fight. The moment he succeeded in his attack, he immediately switched locations.
With a few jumps, he circled around the smoke.
Sometimes, he shattered a few attackers’ poison filtration masks. Sometimes, he cut the flexible tubes connected to their oxygen tanks. Sometimes, he grabbed their guns and fired randomly at the air.
“Here!”
“Kill him!”
“Help! I’m poisoned!”
In an area with smoke bombs and flash bombs wreaking havoc, having a large number of people on your side was not an advantage. It was a burden.
Ever since Meng Chao rose to fame during the practical exam of the national college exam, he had improved by leaps and bounds within just a few short years and left behind a deep impression on the superhuman circle.
This was especially so when he killed the Demonic Abyss Abyss and reached Heaven Realm in the middle of the battle. Countless people were shocked by it.
The gang members had naturally heard of his infamous deeds.
They knew that he was a ruthless person who was unmatched among the young superhumans in Dragon City.
Once they learned that their mission was to surround and kill Meng Chao, their hearts thundered in their chests.
At that moment, when they noticed that Meng Chao attacked as fiercely as a flood, fear rose in them, and they could only swing their weapons and fire their guns randomly to chase away their fear.
But once they fired at random like headless chickens, they achieved nothing aside from hurting their comrades with friendly fire. They did not hurt a single strand of hair on Meng Chao’s body. Instead, they created the image that Meng Chao was everywhere.
When everyone began attacking like mad dogs, Meng Chao remained as calm as water. He used Walking Corpse to maximize his control over the secretion of his hormones, his breathing, and heartbeat.
Even his body temperature went down to twenty-six degrees Celsius, which was basically the same as the temperature around him.
He was like a shadowless ghost. Time and again, he shot out of the smoke to attack.
This time, his target was a strong, built man who was more than two meters tall.
Aside from a four mount rocket launcher on his shoulder, he also had more than twenty rocket projectiles in a huge backpack.
Meng Chao grinned, revealing sharp white teeth in the darkness.
Half a second later, the backpack filled with rocket projectiles swelled up after being injected with a hint of spirit energy. They rose high into the sky.
Once stimulated by spirit energy and a fierce shock, the rocket projectiles instantly exploded.
The shockwaves carried with them thousands of shrapnel that spilled everywhere.
The attackers on the lower floor started wailing. They wrapped their arms around their heads and could not even be bothered to figure out just where Meng Chao was.
Meng Chao used the chance to release an astonishing killing intent, and it was like a saber that he fished out from magma. Then, he charged to Rattlesnake Xiang Wei, whom he had targeted since the beginning.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
His footsteps created even louder roars than the explosions of the rocket projectiles.
“Meng Chao!”
No matter what, Rattlesnake Xiang Wei was a Heaven Realm superhuman. Even if he was heavily injured, he managed to sense Meng Chao’s fierce murderous intent.
He was a man with an iron will. His eyes became bloodshot, and anger filled his system. He did not bother to dodge. Instead, he drew his saber and let out a loud shout to face Meng Chao, as if he was facing a mortal enemy.
But against his expectations, Meng Chao had his eyes set on an ammunition box on the sidelines of the battlefield.
The moment he dashed forward, he fired his chain sabers, swept up the ammunition box, and threw it at Xiang Wei.
Since Rattlesnake Xiang Wei was injured, he did not dare to be reckless and face the “smog” head-on. He also wore a poison filtration mask, so his vision and senses were affected.
He only saw something charge at him from the black smoke.
He reacted instinctively and swung his saber immediately.
Crack!
The runic symbols on his saber shone. Electrical arcs surrounded the blade, and flames flickered. The second he cut open the ammunition box, a lot of ammunition ignited, creating yet another situation where the area was filled with smoke which was lit up by flames. The people around them began to panic.
Meng Chao never intended to fight head-on against Rattlesnake Xiang Wei.
He was just diverting the superhumans’ attention.
While Rattlesnake Xiang Wei was badly battered and confused, Meng Chao bent his knees and fell on the ground. He used the movements of his muscles and, like a snake, slithered to his real target—the “military adviser” with the big head and small body.
While he was on his way there, he removed the poison filtration mask of an unconscious, unlucky sod lying on the floor and placed it on his face.
This “military adviser” was not strong. When the explosions rang out, he naturally remained at the end of the street to observe the battle, which meant that he was at the border of the area affected by the smoke bombs and flash bombs. There was no one beside him to protect him.
The situation in the smoke was rather chaotic, so he could not immediately tell what was going on. At that moment, he was hesitating as to whether he should go back and call for more reinforcements.
Meng Chao jumped out of the smoke and ran toward him while staggering.
The “military adviser”‘s eyes lit up, and he was about to go forward to ask what was going on when warning bells rang out in his head. He noticed that Meng Chao’s equipment was different from that of the other attackers.
The “military adviser” immediately brought out two modified handguns that contained great power as if he was doing a magic trick. A mystifying light shone in his eyes.
But when a prepared Heaven Realm superhuman attacked him, all his struggles were in vain.
Meng Chao dropped the poison filtration mask, and his eyes shone with an even stronger light.
With the use of Fear Bomb, his brain waves rammed into the “military adviser”‘s head in the form of astonishing waves. They made him see an apocalyptic scene that was as if hell had descended among them.
The “military adviser” screamed. He took three steps back. His face was pale and full of sadness, as if he had just seen the apocalypse.
Something seemed to have shattered in his eyes, and sticky, bloody tears flowed out of his eyes.
He fired two shots at random.
They grazed Meng Chao’s scalp.
Meng Chao covered eight meters with one jump and struck the “military adviser”‘s chin. A high frequency shockwave was delivered into the “military adviser”‘s brain through his skull.
The “military adviser”‘s soft brain instantly rammed more than one thousand times against his sturdy skull. In an instant, he suffered a concussion and fainted.
Before Rattlesnake Xiang Wei and the other attackers could registrar what was going on, Meng Chao picked up the unconscious “military adviser” and crawled into the manhole he had chosen as a rendezvous spot with A’Ji.
In the complicated underground space that was shaped like a maze, A’Ji and Su Mulian quickly went up to Meng Chao.
“What should we do now?” A’Ji heard the gunshots above him and felt really anxious.
“We can’t stay here for long. Let’s run away first and look for a safe place. Then, we’ll interrogate this person slowly,” Meng Chao said.
“But how are we going to escape?!” A’Ji asked with a glum face.
The underground of the lair was much larger and complex compared to the surface, and there were also more paths around. It was something everyone knew.
Hence, not only did the lairs set up defenses on the surface, they also sent up a lot of manpower underground, which allowed them to form a net that covered all directions.
Meng Chao might have succeeded in his ambush, but he had also poked the hornet’s nest.
Now, all the armed forces nearby were shouting, running, contacting each other, and forming teams in a frenzy to form the second and third defense line to trap Meng Chao. They wanted to catch at least his tail.
Rattlesnake Xiang Wei would not be confused for long.
Very soon, they would start searching in every nook and cranny.
Meng Chao and Su Mulian were not familiar with the place, so their chances of breaking out were slim to none.
“Didn’t you say that you’re really familiar with the lair?” Meng Chao stared at A’Ji with an intense gaze. “We can only rely on you now to bypass our pursuers and find a path to escape.”
“No way.” A’Ji pulled a long face. “I’m familiar with the headquarters of the gangs, the monster coliseums, gamblings sites, financial companies, and other places like that. Those are the places where the rich appear so I had business over there!
“But I’m not familiar with this area. There are so many branching paths underground, so how am I supposed to know which one leads to our survival?”
“No other choice, then. We can only do everything we can to survive. We’ll trust your instincts and my luck,” Meng Chao said. “Just choose one path!”
A’Ji was dumbfounded. He screeched, “Any random path?”
“Trust me. My luck today is pretty good. I have a hunch that we’ll definitely be able to find the path to survival,” Meng Chao said with a smile.
A’Ji was stunned for a long time.
When he heard disorderly footsteps getting closer, he was forced into a corner, and he made his decision. He pointed at a random path. “Then, we’ll go there first!”
