Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 1842 - 1842 The Still Lava

Chapter 1842 - 1842 The Still Lava

1842 The Still Lava

Meng Chao thought of the ten thousand possibilities he had seen when he had fallen into a deep sleep in the Holy Mountain Temple. One of them showed him turning into a half-human, half-beast form that was ferocious and mighty.

He could not help but be speechless.

Alright, Lu Siya was right.

As the saying went, “misfortunes never come singly.” Lu Siya might be a wild banshee, as well as the Queen of Monsters, and she might have evil intentions and the ability to put those intentions into actions. Even so, she would only be one of the ten thousand reasons leading to Dragon City’s destruction.

She might not even be the most important and deadly reason.

Humans were the wisest of all creatures and the king of the earth. They even had the ability to survive natural disasters. Yet, this race had always been the best at self-destruction and killing each other.

Even if there were no monsters, no Holy Light, no G.o.ds or demons that were superior to humans, and no external threats, humans could still bring about the terrifying apocalypse with their own strength. They would then dance in the burning flames and perish together.

“Are you sure that you want to come with me?”

Meng Chao stared at Lu Siya. “You insist even if you might lose your life? Even if you might turn into an indescribable and unimaginable monster after exploring the depths of the ancient ruins? Even if you have to endure endless torture and pain?”

“Yes, I’m ready.”

Lu Siya appeared very calm, but her eyes were bright. “I have a feeling that Battle Lei Zongchao hasn’t gone insane. He probably knows about a secret hidden deep within the ancient ruins that would likely change the future.

“It will only be possible to save Dragon City and have a deeper understanding of our situation once we unravel this secret.

“You don’t have to doubt my position. I might really be a wild banshee, or the kindling that will revive the monster civilization. However, I wouldn’t want my race to be completely burned to ashes by the flames of ten thousand suns exploding in the sky, would I?”

Looking at the sincerity in Lu Siya’s eyes, Meng Chao seemed to understand why Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao had placed a coin in the envelope.

Perhaps, when it came to strategic issues that concerned Dragon City’s survival, there was not much difference between the probability of success and failure between carefully calculated, repeatedly deduced decisions made with cold reasoning and randomly made decisions that were made with the flip of a coin.

The future was unpredictable.

Humans could only muster their courage and walk on without looking back.

“Let’s go, then.”

Meng Chao looked away. He did not even notice that the corners of his lips had curled up slightly. It felt as if he was finally not fighting alone. He let out a sigh of relief and said, “Let’s go to the deepest part of the ancient ruins together and discover the Other World’s greatest secret!

…

The two of them boarded a biplane, which could be accelerated with spirit energy. It flew like a sharp arrow through the clouds into the smoke-filled sky. At this time, the surrounding airs.p.a.ce was already crowded with heavily-armed and menacing armored airs.h.i.+ps.

The crystal engines of all these armored airs.h.i.+ps were activated to the maximum, and they roared like iron beasts. This ensured that they could accelerate in a mere three to five seconds even if they were in a hovering state. All their turrets were opened, and the black muzzles of their cannons were enshrouded in circles of colorful spirit energy flames. They could fire flames of death that even low-level superhumans would have to avoid.

Meng Chao did not know if this was a coincidence.

All the armored airs.h.i.+ps had been arranged into two distinct camps in the sky according to their respective paint and owners.h.i.+p.

Most of the armored airs.h.i.+ps hovering in the southeastern airs.p.a.ce had been painted with the logos of the nine mega corporations and their a.s.sociated companies. The airs.h.i.+ps were relatively narrow, swift, and light. There were also many boarding gates around the pods for people to enter and exit. Their main purpose during battle was to transport and release superhumans who could fly independently. They relied on the superhumans to carry out air combat and fire projection.

Most of the armored airs.h.i.+ps in the northwestern airs.p.a.ce had been painted with the Red Dragon Army’s emblem. The airs.h.i.+ps were relatively thick, huge, strong, and even a little bulky. At the cost of speed and flexibility, they had crazy firepower, like iron hedgehogs with red eyes. Even if there were no superhumans on the airs.h.i.+ps, the pilots and battle squads made up of ordinary people could still blow up mountains and seas.

The armored airs.h.i.+ps of the nine mega corporations and Red Dragon Army each occupied half of the sky.

Even though their crystal engines were giving off deafening rumbles, the silence after the roar was suffocating.

This strange feeling of suffocation reminded Meng Chao of what Song Jinbo had just said.

He said that the Ordinary People’s Committee had divided Dragon City’s people into two groups—no, not into superhumans and ordinary people.

They had been divided into those who could get a wife and those who could not.

To be more precise, some had the ability and the right to bear children, continue their bloodline, and let their descendants live better than themselves.

Then, there were those who did not have the ability or right to bear children and continue their bloodline. Even if they were lucky enough to have an offspring, there was a high probability that their offspring would be in a worse state than them.

The nine mega corporations’ armed forces consisted of superhumans, and it was obvious that they belonged to the former group. They were warriors who would fight for the former.

Aside from the middle- and high-ranking officers, the Red Dragon Army was filled with ordinary people. They naturally belonged to the latter group. They were loyal to the latter, and in return, the latter trusted and relied on them.

Under the influence of the two completely different but equally murderous armed forces, millions of ordinary citizens crowded the streets and alleys of Dragon City. This was especially so at the nine mega corporations’ headquarters, the R&D centers, the private clubs, and the private training centers of the unparalleled experts.

Meng Chao activated his enhanced vision and saw that there were lights around all the normal citizens. They were reminiscent of still lava lying dormant in the dark.

No, they did not come from torches or flashlights.

Instead, they were mobile terminals such as cellphones, tablets, smart watches, tactical communicators, head-mounted communicators, and so on.

Through these mobile terminals, everyone recorded and shared live events in every corner of the city.

The continuous breakthroughs in spirit energy research and rune technology had allowed Dragon City to re-enter the Internet of Things era after traveling through time for half a century.

The ordinary people’s thoughts and desires were closely connected through the network, forming a force that even the Deity Realm warriors and mega corporations dared not provoke.

Meng Chao wondered how he should face this power.

Song Jinbo had sent him a brief report.

So far, the interrogation records of the Blood Alliance members showed that the number of “big shots” involved were far more extensive than the interrogators had imagined.
