Except, of course, for Meng Chao.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and quickly scanned the ordinary transport airship in front of him.

The slightly bloated transport airship was undergoing final inspection and inflating, preparing to take off.

Near the pod and the crystal engine, there were many workers with slings tied around their waists, busy moving up and down.

It seemed that they were skilled workers who did not complain.

However, Meng Chao’s perception allowed him to easily scan through their bulging and slightly bloated work clothes, which were filled with labor tools. He detected their copper-cast bodies, and their muscles, which were like steel and iron.

Many of them had calluses on their foreheads, and their bones had been repaired many times.

Artificial joints and organs had even been implanted in their bodies.

It was as if they had experienced countless life-and-death battles. Their bodies were riddled with scars and decorated with warrior medals.

These were definitely not the bodies of ordinary workers.

Instead, they were the bravest warriors or the most elite assassins.

It seemed that this transport airship also belonged to the Blood Alliance.

Their destination was naturally the headquarters of the Blood Alliance, Yun Feidian’s lair.

Unfortunately, the members of the Blood Alliance were extremely vigilant. Their eyes were like a three-dimensional fire net, firmly controlling every inch of space around the transport airship.

Even Meng Chao needed to create a small accident if he wanted to sneak into the transport airship.

Meng Chao’s line of sight was like an invisible ripple, expanding rapidly in all directions.

In an instant, he had scanned the entire airport clearly.

Whether it was the dozens of other transport airships parked nearby…

The ground vehicles that came and went, or loading and unloading vehicles, or the cranes that were dozens of meters tall and used to lift and repair large crystal engines and propellers…

He turned all of this into the most basic data and input it into his brain. He instantly constructed a crystal clear three-dimensional model and simulated it repeatedly in the virtual model.

Three seconds later, a small accident happened perfectly in Meng Chao’s mind.

At this time, the crane was lifting a large crystal engine that weighed several tons and had just been repaired. It slowly rose into the air and was ready to be installed at the tail of a transport airship with the maintenance staff’s help.

Meng Chao put his hands on the ground. Then, spirit energy poured out of his palms like waves and silently surged toward the crane, causing its hoisting device to temporarily malfunction.

With a short period of spirit energy disorder, the crane immediately lost control.

The crystal engine, which had already been lifted into the air, fell and crashed heavily on the ground, emitting a deafening roar. Debris and dust flew everywhere.

The workers around cried out in alarm.

Even the workers and passengers on several nearby transport airships looked sideways.

Fortunately, the airport’s management was very strict. All the workers followed the operation manual meticulously.

When the crane was lifting large-scale goods, no one would stand below it.

Therefore, this accident, which was neither too big nor too small, at most caused some economic losses and did not cause any casualties.

Although the members of the Blood Alliance kept a high level of vigilance, important goods had just been moved into the pod, so they felt guilty.

Hearing the sound of the large-scale crystal engine crashing to the ground, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the sound’s direction.

However, half a second later, the members of the Blood Alliance who had clearly seen what transpired withdrew their gazes one after another and returned to their important mission.

Despite that, half a second was enough time for a Deity Realm expert who had received the enhancement of a spirit magnet to do anything.

By the time the transport airship secretly controlled by the Blood Alliance took to the sky, Meng Chao had already successfully sneaked into it.

The transport airship flew all the way to the west, toward the depths of Monster Mountain Range outside Dragon City.

Along the way, it passed by several high-tech development zones, satellite cities, and large-scale crystal mines, but there was no intention to slow down or land.

As the terrain grew higher and higher, the jungle below also became deeper and denser. On the horizon before them, there were faintly towering peaks that reached into the clouds with intersecting canine teeth.

That was the main vein of Monster Mountain Range.

Once they crossed the mountain range, they would completely leave Dragon City’s domain.

“Has the Blood Alliance set up their nest somewhere outside Monster Mountain Range?”

Just as Meng Chao was deep in thought, a golden light in the sky in front of him attracted his attention.

As the transport airship slowly approached it, the golden light grew larger and clearer.

It was like a giant golden lotus that was slowly blooming in the sky.

The sunlight shone on its mirror-like surface, and complex diffraction, as well as refraction, gave it a golden halo. It very much resembled an eternally-floating golden palace.

Even Meng Chao had to focus and calm his mind to activate his enhanced vision. Only then could he see clearly through the golden halo.

It was a giant armored airship that had never been seen before.

As the transport airship that Meng Chao was on approached it, the scene was reminiscent of a little mouse approaching a big stupid elephant.

No, it was not “one airship.” To be more precise, it was an enormous air fortress formed by hundreds of airbags and hundreds of pods.

Whether it was an enormous airbag with a diameter of more than a hundred meters, a modular design made of super alloy that could be easily dismantled and assembled, a lightweight but extremely sturdy pod, or the crystal engines, propellers, and hedgehog-like machine guns that surrounded the entire air fortress…

They were all shining under the sunlight, demonstrating to the earth under their feet the pride and glory of human civilization.

Meng Chao found many signs of Thundercloud Technology and Soaring Dragon Construction on the airbags and the outer walls of the pods in the air fortress.

In the middle of the air fortress, on a giant airbag that was surrounded by hundreds of smaller airbags, he saw an extremely domineering picture.

It was of a golden roc flapping its wings and flying high.

A big city that symbolized Dragon City was on the golden roc’s back.

“This is… the golden roc!”

Meng Chao ran through his mind and instantly extracted the information about this air fortress.

The golden roc was the most important product of the “air base construction plan.”

All along, while humans and monsters went to war for living space, the construction of forward bases had been an important way for humans to advance step by step.

However, the forward bases on land had plenty of flaws.

First of all, the Other World’s terrain was complex, its environment was harsh, and its climate was turbulent. A whopping 99% of its area was not suitable for building large-scale permanent fortifications, much less large numbers of people to survive in the long term.

Whether it was the dense forests that were shrouded in miasma or the broken and rugged mountains, the investment in building and maintaining a forward base was astronomical.
