Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 650 - You're Back, That's All That Matters

Chapter 650: You’re Back, That’s All That Matters

The fact that a lot of insect-type monsters similar to lice and fleas hid in the feathers of the flying-type monsters was even more terrifying, and these creatures carried the fatal new zombie virus in their blood.

When the flying-type monsters were torn to shreds by the dense bullets from humans, their lice, virus, and bacteria-laden carca.s.ses would fall down from the sky like biochemical bombs, causing the densely populated residential areas to be severely polluted. Countless citizens would be bitten by pests and be infected by the new zombie virus, thus turning into agile and powerful zombies.

The zombie hordes also brought great trouble to Dragon Citizens.

Many of the old citizens felt as if they had returned to a b.l.o.o.d.y era, where the city area shrank until it was only one-third its current size, and humans had to fight against all kinds of monsters on every street, and in every house as well as corner.

However, the normal citizens had vastly underestimated the crisis this time.

Even so, Vice Director Nie Chenglong of the Abnormal Beast Research Department knew clearly that compared with the abnormal beast, which had snuck into Dragon City and was now causing absolute mayhem and destruction, the flying-type monsters and super zombies were nothing.

A temporary command center had been set up beside the lair in the meantime, and the alarm for major threats just kept blaring. It lasted for seventy-two hours and practically never stopped.

The crystal warehouses, water purification plants, synthetic food plants, large shelters, and other fundamental facilities had all been visited by the abnormal beast’s scheme.

On the invisible battlefield that the normal citizens could not see, the investigators whose ident.i.ties remained unknown to the public fought in an astounding, secret battle against the cunning abnormal beast.

Hundreds of investigators had perished silently in the dark and used their lives to defuse these “ticking time bombs”.

However, the largest ticking time bomb had still not been defused.

The lair.

No, despite being encased in black smoke, facing interference due to spirit energy, having its communications cut off, and basically being a black box at this point, the lair was not a ticking time bomb, it was Pandora’s box. The moment it was opened, it would bring unimaginable disasters to Dragon City.

Bad news just kept appearing.

Leprosy Village had faced a major explosion. The veteran hunters had almost been entirely wiped out. Meng Chao had betrayed Dragon City. Leprosy Village and the gangs had gotten into a conflict. The fire had grown stronger and nearly engulfed the entire lair. Jin Wanhao was near death, and he had not been able to control the situation. The lair citizens—almost one million of them—could rush out of the lair at any moment to seek shelter, causing the chaotic vortex to spread to the entire city. That forced the fighters and warriors fighting on the frontlines to sense how it felt to be surrounded by enemies as trouble brewed in their homes.

Nie Chenglong sank into despair.

He lacked forces, and he simply could not mobilize more forces to enter the lair. He did not even know what was going on inside the lair.

He could only lock down the lair and temporarily surround it.

However, he was quite certain that even if he could gather manpower to lock down the lair, they would still have a hard time handling the situation should the citizens really rush out. The defense lines were so thin that they were basically nonexistent, and they were really just there as a symbol.

If the fire in the lair grew to the point that it could not be extinguished and the lair citizens ran out to seek shelter, it would be impossible for him to trap the lair citizens inside and let them burn to death, not that he had the right to do so.

Once the refugees rushed out, no one would be able to figure out who were the monster puppets mixed among the refugees. After all, they were monsters in human skin.

To make matters worse, when the explosion happened in Leprosy Village, dozens of Apocalyptic Beasts had appeared on the battlefield at the borders of Dragon City. It was as if they had planned this.

There was only one reason why the Red Dragon Army, private squads of mega corporations, and powerful fighters from the universities, as well as medium and small-size firms, had been able to fight the monster horde. It was because the Deity Realm superhumans had been in a stalemate with the Apocalyptic Beasts. The high-end forces from both sides had held back each other.

Right now, the war situation was still worrying. Plus, mobilizing any Deity Realm superhuman or top-cla.s.s Heaven Realm superhuman to come back and defend the lair meant that thousands of fighters on the frontlines would die. If the entire frontlines crumbled, it would even imply that the scales of victory would tip against their favor.

Nie Chenglong could only brace himself and grit his teeth.

Aside from Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue, who had snuck into the lair earlier, the only reinforcement he could send into the lair was Lu Siya, who had volunteered to enter.

Even though he had managed to give Lu Siya the highest possible authority by granting her the status of a special messenger, honestly speaking, Nie Chenglong did not have high hopes.

He just hoped that Ye Xiaoyue and Lu Siya could maintain the order in the lair a little longer. It was only until the frontlines could catch a breath and mobilize more manpower, as well as powerful fighters, to provide them with reinforcements.

To his surprise, less than the short twenty-four hours since Lu Siya entered the lair, she had sent a report that was one hundred times more amazing than what he had expected of her.

No, it was not Lu Siya who had done it, it was Meng Chao.

Just like the Blessed Paradise’s murderous pets case and the n.o.ble Descent Hotel ambush case, Meng Chao had once again appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time and created an unbelievable miracle.

Happiness had arrived too suddenly, and despite being experienced in battle, Nie Chenglong was still stunned by Meng Chao and Lu Siya’s exciting performance.

There was a moment where he became anxious and wondered whether it was really true. He was worried about whether there was something wrong with the report or whether the abnormal beast had infiltrated their communication lines and delivered fake news to them.

It was not that he was unwilling to believe in his beloved investigators, it was just that the achievements mentioned in the report, the results, and the entire fight were just too amazing to be true!

When the clouds dispersed and the spirit energy magnetic field interference slowly became weaker, communications between the lair and the outside world were recovered. Hundreds of drones flew into the lair from different directions to record multiple first-person view shots. Despite being heavily damaged, order remained in the lair. Hence, Nie Chenglong and the investigators, as well as the Red Dragon Army, who were defending the lair’s borders, heaved a long sigh of relief.

The first batch of people who were sent out of the lair were severely wounded people. They were burnt and suffering from major carbon monoxide poisoning.

Many of the wounded were barely breathing, and their wounds were too unbearable for the eyes.

However, if they could bring out all the heavily wounded and gather them into one place before sending them out of the lair in an orderly manner, the lair would already manage to seize the most basic of order. They were now working together to save themselves.

The second batch of people sent out of the lair were wanted criminals and former Reaper Squad members who had joined the monster civilization.

They were all infamous people who had committed unpardonable crimes.

Before Nie Chenglong had been tasked to fully handle the daily administrative work of the Abnormal Beast Research Department, he had even worked together with the bounty hunters and fought a few of these fearsome people. He remembered their faces clearly.

When he saw that these heinous, brutal people had been captured by Meng Chao, Ye Xiaoyue, and the gangs, Nie Chenglong was surprised but also delighted. He no longer suspected anything that Lu Siya had mentioned in her report.

The one who sent this batch of wanted criminals and former Reaper Squad members out was the Deity Realm superhuman, Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue.

However, while he was telling him about the process of the capture, Ye Xiaoyue decided to be generous by giving all the credit to Meng Chao and Lu Siya.

In spite of his crippled condition, this Deity Realm superhuman’s sword technique was akin to divine art. Yet, someone with such power had given such high praise to those two rising stars, especially to Meng Chao.

“In ten years… No, perhaps even shorter. Perhaps in five years, the boy will make me want to draw my sword against him.” Ye Xiaoyue grinned and said, “Vice Director Nie, your department has picked up gold this time!”

Nie Chenglong opened his mouth, and he did not know what to say.

He knew Meng Chao’s strength clearly, and he had a firm grasp of Meng Chao’s might before he had gone into the lair seventy-two hours ago.

No matter what, he was still far away from reaching Deity Realm, and it was impossible for him to try and challenge that cultivation realm within just five years.

Yet, Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue was never one who liked to exaggerate things.

The man was obsessed with martial arts, and he never showed interest in teaching anyone younger than him.

So, why was he showing Meng Chao special respect?

Nie Chenglong soon got his answer.

Meng Chao came out.

Actually, he flew out.

The secret police, abnormal beast investigators, and Red Dragon Army soldiers who were stationed outside the lair burst into commotion.

Farther down was the residential area that stood next to the lair. The normal citizens had been ready to disperse at any moment, and they also raised a ruckus right then.

Even farther down, powerful fighters were levitating in the air and monitoring the war situation in the city. They were in an uproar as well.

Everyone’s jaws dropped as they stared at the sky.

Two golden birds flew out of the smog-covered ruins in the lair. They were like phoenixes that had been reborn from the ashes.

…No, they were not birds. They were two non-motorized gliders that looked like golden wings because of their unique and beautiful appearances.

Lu Siya trailed behind Meng Chao, and they resembled celestial generals who had returned triumphantly as they shone in the light of victory that belonged solely to them.

In that brilliant fashion, they slowly circled the borders of the lair once so that the soldiers, people, and fighters within and outside the lair could see them clearly.

In such a simple and crude manner, they told all the citizens that the lair was already safe, and their home still belonged to the humans!

They flew for more than ten minutes and attracted countless pairs of eyes, simultaneously placating their hearts. Then, the two of them flew back and landed in front of Nie Chenglong.

“Brat…”

Even with the help of the non-motorized gliders, being able to fly at a constant speed and stable manner for such a long time showed that Meng Chao had precise control over his speed and angle of flight. He had also released burning spirit flames that allowed the golden wings to release a dazzling lightning effect. All of this showed that Meng Chao had reached an explosive breakthrough over the past short three days.

Nie Chenglong saw Meng Chao beaming at him while putting the glider away, and he saw the Golden Tooth Saber on his waist. In response, he could not help but marvel at the fact that time was an unforgiving master. The era that belonged to him was now gone, and the future would eventually belong to the people of the Golden Era.

He slapped Meng Chao on the shoulder, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down for a long time before he finally said, “You’re back, that’s all that matters.”
