Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 528: The Missing Saber

Meng Chao did not expect that he would be treated as an important person who stood above everyone else one day.

“Besides, you can’t just think about convincing Uncle Wolf and us to not fight. You need to convince the gangs outside the lair too!” Su Mulian said seriously. “Based on what you said just now, some really cunning monster has snuck into Leprosy Village, and it even brought a lot of powerful subordinates with it. Based on how they managed to secretly set up a Deification Capsule pharmacy in Leprosy Village, it might have lured a number of villagers to its side. It might have also lured the people beside Uncle Wolf to its side.”

Meng Chao muttered, “That’s right. Since Wild Wolves have the strongest martial power in Leprosy Village, the abnormal beast would definitely do everything within its power to infiltrate Wild Wolves. By doing so, it could control and manipulate the course of events in Leprosy Village.

“But I believe that Wild Wolf himself should not have betrayed the humans. The reason for that is simple. Over the past year, he has slowly started to take the authority in Leprosy Village. Before long, he would become the village chief. He doesn’t need any external power or the monster civilization to help him. After all, they’re something that will bring endless trouble in the future.

“So, Wild Wolves definitely have a mole, but it should not be Wild Wolf. It should be someone around him.”

“It’s good that you’re willing to believe in Uncle Wolf, but others might not trust him and might be unwilling to trust us,” Su Mulian said. “To the gangs, someone in Leprosy Village is working together with the monster civilization and set up a trap to kill all the powerful fighters in the gangs.

“You mentioned that the elites in the gangs entered the Deification Capsule pharmacy behind the hunting squad from the world outside. They were injured by the explosion, and while their injuries might not be as severe as those of the veteran hunters, they are definitely badly battered and heavily injured. Only a number of people would have been able to escape from Leprosy Village, right?

“Then, to the gangs, Leprosy Village is already controlled by the monster civilization and forming an even grander scheme. The gangs need to attack first to seize the initiative. Also, they must be thinking that their elies are lost in Leprosy Village, so even if it means that they have to pay an even greater price, they must use brute force to enter the place and save them.

“They might even be thinking that all the villagers are already brainwashed by the monster civilization. They must kill all of the villagers now, even if there are innocent people among them, because if they spare some and only kill the people they suspect of treason, they would definitely miss killing some who are already on the monster civilization’s side. It’s only logical for them to think that way.”

“That’s…” Meng Chao found himself speechless for a period of time.

Indeed, all he had been thinking about all this while was about how to let Su Mulian and Wild Wolf know the truth so that they could stabilize the situation in Leprosy Village.

But he forgot that Leprosy Village was part of the mess, but not the whole of it. Stabilizing Leprosy Village alone was useless.

The gangs had responded to the call of the government and sent a large group of Heaven Realm superhumans and elites into Leprosy Village to capture really dangerous criminals, but they were blasted by a super crystal bomb. Communications were completely cut off, and they did not know the status and whereabouts of most of their Heaven Realm superhumans and elites.

This was a major event that concerned the survival of the gangs and the lair. No matter what, they could not just stand by and do nothing.

Gang members had always been wild people. After suffering a major loss, they would not just swallow such an insult.

Even if they did not have the support from the outside world and had to rely on their own strength, they might still attack Leprosy Village to take revenge and save their members.

“Uncle Wolf might be an extremist, but he’s not someone who will blow up at the slightest provocation. The enemy’s scheme might not deceive him, so we might be able to convince him to lay low and do nothing for the time being,” Su Mulian said. “But if the villagers stay in the village obediently and the gangs in the lair bring out weapons of mass destruction, how are we going to survive without having the initiative?

“Uncle Wolf will definitely ask you this question. Have you thought about how you’re going to answer it?”

Meng Chao scratched his head. He realized that he had been oversimplifying the problem.

“So, you can’t just convince us to not fight. You have to convince the gangs to not fight as well. That’s why your first action shouldn’t be to convince us not to fight, but to convince the gangs not to fight,” Su Mulian said.

“Saber Jin Wanhao is in charge of the gangs in the lair. I heard that he’s the Underground Emperor of Dragon City. Decades ago, he was on the same rank as Battle God Lei Zongchao and has been cultivating since that time. No matter what, he should have reached Deity Realm, right?

“Even if he fought in a lot of battles when he was young and suffered many injuries, which has left him at death’s bed now and without most of his fighting strength, his glory still remains. Why didn’t he show up at such a critical moment and solve this complicated problem?

“What I’m thinking about might be the same as what Uncle Wolf is thinking. Saber Jin Wanhao has chosen not to show up, which in itself is a stance saying that he’s hostile toward Leprosy Village, or at least, he harbors great distrust toward us.

“He believes that Leprosy Village has already been taken over by the monsters, and he doesn’t have the ability nor the will to distinguish between normal villagers and the puppets of the monsters at such a critical moment. He only has one way to solve this, and that is to wipe out Leprosy Village together with the Deification Capsule pharmacy and the monsters lurking in it.

“In this sort of situation, don’t you think that it’s too unfair to ask the villagers to give up on using martial force to defend their right to live?”

Meng Chao had always been puzzled by this.

When he was solving the Blessed Paradise Murderous Pets Case, they needed to search for the source of the gene medicine and entered Golden Tooth Lair with Lu Siya and Shen Yupeng.

When they left the lair, Saber Jin Wanhao stood at the top floor of a building and stared down at them coldly from behind a window.

Even though he had not seen Saber Jin Wanhao’s real face before, Meng Chao could still feel great pressure and a suffocating feeling.

Also, even an outstanding member of the third generation of Universe Corporation and one of the adjudicators, who were the most mysterious and strongest people among the secret police in Dragon City, Shen Yupeng showed respect to him. Only after expressing his gratitude and requesting for permission did he dare to bring Meng Chao and Lu Siya away from the place.

This was enough to show that Saber Jin Wanhao, who was at the same rank as Battle God Lei Zongchao more than thirty years ago, was definitely still hale and hearty. He was definitely not in his twilight years.

He desired to control Golden Tooth Lair, so he would not let any Tom, Dick, or Harry to invade his territory.

Last time, even nobodies like Meng Chao and Lu Siya had alerted him enough to make him show up.

Why was it then that Saber Jin Wanhao didn’t show up when the abnormal beasts set up a Deification Capsule pharmacy in Leprosy Village? He didn’t show up even after the abnormal beasts killed the village chief, who was the spokesperson of his interests in the village. There was a huge possibility that Golden Tooth Lair was going to end up in a mess because of this, but he was still not around.

Could it be that he did not know what was going on ?

There was no way. The spirit energy ripples from the huge explosion created by the super crystal bomb had spread through the area of more than dozens of kilometers. Even if all communications were cut off, with the sharp senses Deity Realm superhumans possessed, he should have been able to guess most of what had happened.

Besides, even though Red Brows Su Lun, the second-in-command in Golden Tooth, coordinated things and was the one who contacted more than ten gangs as well as mobilized a large group of Heaven Realm elites and tactical resources, Saber Jin Wanhao definitely knew about such a large-scale operation and had personally allowed it.

No matter how complicated the situation was inside Golden Tooth, it was only complicated to outsiders.

Saber Jin Wanhao was a Deity Realm superhuman. If he really wanted to take action, all he needed to do was fly over from his bed in Golden Tooth’s nest, right?

‘Just what is the Underground Emperor of Dragon City doing? Why is he watching the monster civilization destroy the Golden Tooth Lair he spent decades to build? Could it be… that he’s already controlled by the Vortex and is the monster civilization’s puppet, just like the lost people and the former Reaper Squad members?’

Meng Chao shuddered.

Could Deity Realm superhumans be brainwashed, tempted, and controlled by the monster civilization?

Based on his past experiences, it should not be possible.

But if he analyzed things based on his memories from his previous life, if some Deity Realm superhumans had not switched sides, would Dragon City have had such a hard time fighting in the later stage of the Monster War?

Meng Chao felt his head pound as he continued thinking about this.

A’Ji squatted by the side and looked at Meng Chao as well as Su Mulian. He was so anxious that he felt ants running all over his skin, but he could do nothing about it.

Meng Chao pondered the question for a while and asked, “Ms. Mulian, I heard that your grandpa had a pretty good relationship with Saber Jin Wanhao, and Golden Tooth provided most of the basic resources to Leprosy Village…

“Did you grandpa tell you how to contact Golden Tooth and get Saber Jin Wanhao’s trust?”

“No.” Su Mulian shook her head. “There seemed to be a lot of secrets that couldn’t come to light in Grandpa and Saber Jin Wanhao’s relationship. He didn’t want Uncle Wolf and me to get involved in it.

“That’s why a couple years ago Grandpa had started handing over the businesses in Leprosy Village to Uncle Wolf. Even though they had that major argument a year ago, it didn’t stop Grandpa from treating Uncle Wolf as his successor.

“For the sake of Leprosy Village’s survival, those working with the village chief had to do some dirty and even bloody work. Grandpa and Uncle Wolf both wanted me to stay as far away from it as possible. This might be the only thing they agreed on.”

Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath. He sprayed a bit of medical gel on his forehead and cheeks to cool down his burning head so that he could smooth out the first clue from all the jumbled up clues he had gathered thus far.

“So, you’re saying that even if he’s unwilling to, Wild Wolf might still have a way to contact Saber Jin Wanhao, or at the very least, Golden Tooth?

“Then, we need to get Wild Wolf’s trust first and look for the mole the abnormal beast planted in Wild Wolves. We also have to think of a way to contact Saber Jin Wanhao. In the end, we need to convince both sides to remain calm, figure out the truth of the matter, and maintain order in the lair!”

Su Mulian and A’Ji looked like they had so many things to say, they did not know where to start.

They could not give any comments about the mission Meng Chao just mentioned. It seemed like an impossible task.

When Meng Chao finished the outline of his plan, even he found that the difficulty of this task was really high.

And right then, the third explosion rang at the end of the underground tunnel. The sound came from far away.

It was the booby trap Meng Chao had set under the manhole cover. The enemy had triggered it.

He killed Ghost Eagle Song Yu, Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang, Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun, and four former Reaper Squad members consecutively. It was inevitable that it would cause a major ruckus, and in the end, they would be discovered by the enemies.

The Vortex had to know by then that there was one target it missed, and it was a target who had a lot of fighting power and was fighting against it in the dark.

Next, the Vortex would definitely increase the speed of carrying out its scheme, and it would use every possible method to kill Meng Chao!
