Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 298: Critical Moment

Chapter 298: Critical Moment

“Let’s go!”

Lu Siya pulled at Meng Chao, who grabbed Small Insect. They went inside the women’s toilet again.

With their superhumans’ strength, it would not be difficult for them to use force to subjugate the gang members.

But this was a lair, and many of the citizens were connected to the gangs. They shared a relations.h.i.+p that if one of them fired a signal, everyone would come to help them.

If the two were surrounded by thousands of people, then even if Lu Siya could now go against gravity and fly, it would still be difficult for her to escape.

Besides, the gang members were not suspects. They were also not out-of-control superhumans or human-shaped monsters. In theory, they were all good citizens who obeyed the law. Be it Poison Scorpion, Black Bone, or even the infamous Golden Tooth, these were all just names used to refer to the gangs in private. On official doc.u.ments, they were registered as Ping Pong Club, Movie Lovers’ Exchange Club, Reading Club, and whatnot.

Joining a reading club was not a crime.

Organizing illegal monster fights was also not a major crime.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya could not kill the built men as they pleased.

So, Lu Siya could only snap her fingers again.

She summoned eight spikes from the floor and used them as a fence to block off the corridor, which would stall the group when they rushed up.

Together with Meng Chao, she then pushed Small Insect into the women’s toilet on the first floor.

At that moment, a few women had already entered the women’s toilet on the first floor. They were examining the hole in the floor when they saw someone crawling out of the hole. They screamed.

“Meng Chao!” One of them was a woman with a really curvaceous body. While she screamed, she pointed at Meng Chao’s face. “You’re Lin Chuan’s a.s.sistant, Meng Chao!”

It would seem that she was also a loyal admirer of the Weeping Reaper.

Meng Chao sighed in his heart.

When a person became famous, they were afraid of the troubles their recognition would cause, just like how a pig would be afraid of being slaughtered after it was fattened up.

However, Meng Chao did not have time to hide his face. The Black Bone members underground had already rushed to the women’s toilet at the first bas.e.m.e.nt floor.

Before they could use any lightness skills and jump up, Lu Siya activated her mine explorer’s ability and sealed off most of the hole.

One of the unfortunate Black Bone members was halfway through jumping out of the hole when he got stuck. He yelped and his legs flailed around in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Soon, the sounds of people pus.h.i.+ng at each other came from the hall on the first floor.

As if they had knocked on a hornet’s nest, a large group of Black Bone members charged at them like hornets.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya grabbed Small Insect by the arms and jumped out the window of the women’s toilet.

With just a few steps, they ended up in a maze that was as complicated as a spider’s web.

The buildings around them were packed as densely as in a hornet’s nest, and all of them looked practically the same. Curious faces looked out of the windows and stared at them closely. It made their skins crawl.

In less than half a minute, the Black Bone members caught up to them, since they were familiar with the place.

Lu Siya had to stop and turn around to activate her skill. She summoned spikes again and blocked off their pursuers in the shabby street.

She also released the imposing aura of a Heaven Realm elite in order to intimidate those Black Bone members.

But the Black Bone members did not fall for her trick. After all, those who are unreasonable aren’t afraid of those who would throw away their lives in desperation, so they believed Lu Siya would not really attack them. They gritted their teeth and forced their way through the intersecting spikes.

Meng Chao continued to run forward with Small Insect in his arms.

But after taking only a few steps forward, he felt a sharp gaze on his back.

When he turned his head around, he noticed a strange, silver glare flas.h.i.+ng behind a window across from him.

“Sniper!”

Meng Chao cussed. He could not tell whether the person would dare to fire, and he was not willing to let someone else decide his fate based on their rationale. He swung his arm, and his sleeve flapped. His fingers shook, and a scalpel drew a shrill arc that let out a whistle even sharper than that of a bullet. It went straight to the scope of the sniper rifle. The scalpel’s power was just perfect. It got stuck in the scope after piercing it. There was only half an inch to the person’s eyeball.

It was a warning.

If the sniper ignored it, Meng Chao was confident that he could use another scalpel to pierce his eyeball and brain.

The sniper had never seen such amazing knife throwing skills before.

Just as Meng Chao expected, he was so terrified that he shrank back and did not dare to show his face again.

But at the moment Meng Chao was distracted, Small Insect, who had been staying obediently in his grip, suddenly struggled fiercely.

Thud!

Brilliant flames shot out from beneath his mechanical legs, and he nearly burned Meng Chao’s leg hair.

He used the reverse thrust from his “rocket legs” to break free of Meng Chao’s grip and fly five meters away while remaining close to the ground.

Meng Chao did not think that there would be such a mechanism hidden in Small Insect’s mechanical legs. He quickly tossed his chain sabers forward, but it was already too late. Small Insect used his advantage of being familiar with the terrain and the help of his “rocket legs” to fly upwards until he was as high as the third floor. Then, with a few jumps, he fled to a roof.

“After him!”

Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other. One of them flung his chain saber, and the other activated the maglev power of Heaven Realm elites. They jumped on the roof at the same time.

Small Insect had already jumped over a few buildings with the help of his mechanical legs, and Meng Chao and Lu Siya rushed after him. The distance between them swiftly drew closer.

Meng Chao threw his chain sabers forward, and every time he did so, he grazed Small Insect’s mechanical legs, which created sparks.

Soon, there were no more buildings ahead of Small Insect with a close height difference. He could no longer escape.

Small Insect suddenly shouted. He jumped and fell down from a height of more than ten floors.

Meng Chao ran over to look and saw him using the flames at the end of his legs to buffer his fall a few times. He then crashed into piles of trash, which made them fly everywhere. Even though he looked really pathetic, he was unharmed and could still run.

Meng Chao cussed. He jumped down as well and threw his chain sabers while in midair. They drew a long gash on the outer wall of the building. He used this method to reduce the impact of his fall, and in the end, he managed to land as lightly as a panther.

When he looked up, he noticed that there was a really disorganized pet market in front of him.

The pets sold in it were naturally not the legal pets which had gone through strict modification procedures, like the ones sold at Spirit Creation Creatures, which had been approved by the government.

Instead, they used all sorts of biochemical modification technologies to ruthlessly modify various creatures until they turned into real monsters.

Of course, since the lair was a place with a dense population and really cramped living s.p.a.ces, the pet sellers had to ensure the basic safety of their wares.

Otherwise, before the adjudicator court or investigation departments would come over to condemn them, the gangs in the lair would drop by to create trouble.

Hence, the strange-looking pets lay around quietly in the barb-covered cages.

However, when Small Insect noticed that Meng Chao stuck to him like a shadow and refused to let go no matter what, he gritted his teeth and swung his arm. It activated a hidden mechanism in his sleeve, which fired a poisoned dart. It went straight to a seemingly obedient Iron-armored Rhinoceros.

After the creature was. .h.i.t, its eyes almost instantly became bloodshot.

Even the air that came out of its nostrils turned burning red.

It struggled madly, and the chains tying its neck to the ground started rattling.

No matter how its owner tried to appease it or force it to calm down by using a stun baton to stab its b.u.m, it still went on a rampage. While kicking around with its legs, it even sent its owner flying.

The owner coughed up blood, and the pet market descended into chaos.

“That b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Meng Chao was shocked and enraged.

But this made him certain that Small Insect was definitely the vet c.u.m pharmacist who was related to the case of pets murdering their owners at Blessed Paradise.

He had to have seen the news and online articles and realized that he had ended up causing a major problem by helping Jin Yongqiang. If he left the lair, not even G.o.d would be able to save him.

That was why he hid such a diabolical mechanism on his body. He used a drug that could make monsters go even wilder compared to the mutated rabies virus to stop his pursuers.

“Stop that raging Iron-armored Rhinoceros. Don’t let it hurt innocent citizens!” Meng Chao shouted at Lu Siya, who was just behind him.

He gritted his teeth and ran forward before he lunged around twenty meters forward. Like a flying arrow, he pounced on Small Insect and pinned him to the ground.

“You can’t escape anymore!” Meng Chao punched Small Insect’s face, turning it to a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.

Small Insect was pinned firmly against the ground. But even as blood flowed down his face, he smiled strangely. With a thud, the parts below the knees of his mechanical legs shot out like cannonb.a.l.l.s. They landed on the pet stalls on the sides of the street and, with sizzling sounds, released a large amount of pungent-smelling gas.

‘A drug that makes monsters go berserk, and it’s in a gaseous state!’

Meng Chao sucked in a breath of that strange gas, and his pupils shrank.

He did not expect that Small Insect would be so despicable. He actually hid such a sinister thing in his mechanical legs. It would stimulate dozens of biochemical pets in one go and turn them into fierce monsters!

Just as expected, the biochemical pets started howling in the pungent-smelling gas. They sounded increasingly more wild with every pa.s.sing second.

They tore at the chains with every bit of their strength and yanked at the iron hoops embedded into the ground. Some even used their sharp claws and teeth to rip off their pelts so that their deformed, swelled-up muscles would be seen by the citizens, who were already screaming and shouting.

“Where are the elites from the abnormal beast research department?!” Meng Chao shouted at Lu Siya, who had just subjugated the Iron-armored Rhinoceros.

Lu Siya found herself speechless.

There were already around eight wild pets who had rushed into the crowd and started attacking the people.

The environment was too complicated and there were too many people around. Once these wild pets rushed into the crowd, the consequences would be dire. She could not use her spikes to stop them.

Lu Siya was so angry that she kicked Small Insect’s head.

She put so much strength in it that his teeth fell to the ground. It would appear that they were fake teeth. All his real teeth were probably pulled out by Black Bone.

At that critical moment, they heard thuds coming from behind them. They were faint but rhythmic.

b.l.o.o.d.y fountains gushed out of the wild pets’ eyes at the same time.

Without shocking or harming any innocent citizens, the attacks made the wild pets sway and fall to the ground.

It was not just blood and brains that gushed out of their eye sockets. Black smoke and deep-purple flames followed after them.

By the looks of it, the items that killed them were not normal bullets. They had been injected with spirit energy that was as hot as magma, and it instantly fried their brains.

Small Insect’s strange smile instantly froze.

Lu Siya was also stunned for a moment, then her expression turned really sour.

A man with a hook nose walked toward them from the depths of the pet market with his hands in the pockets of his trenchcoat.

“Adjudicator, Shen Yupeng!” Lu Siya spat out coldly.
