Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1771 The Virtuous Are Always A Step Ahead

Seven or eight kilometers southwest of the old factory area was a swamp where acid and venom gathered.

It was one of the most intense battlefields during the Monster War.

The surface of the dark swamp glowed with a sinister purple light. From time to time, bubbles would pop up, and every time a bubble burst, a green poisonous mist would spread out.

Not a blade of grass grew around the swamp, but a lot of bizarre-shaped fungi were growing and waving in the wind like the tentacles of a demon.

The Red Dragon Army had cleaned this swamp up many times.

Plus, the military had dropped a large number of incendiary bombs in an attempt to burn the swamp to the ground.

However, there were monster carcasses numbering in the tens of thousands buried deep in the swamp. After they rotted and fermented, they formed humus.

It did not matter even if the acid, poisonous mist, and mycelium on the surface were all burned up. As long as the humus was not excavated until the earth was completely dry, a large amount of water would accumulate there when the rainy season came. Once water gathered in the low-lying areas, a new swamp would be formed within twenty-four hours.

This area was not a main focus for Dragon City in terms of construction.

Over time, the military let it go and only set up an isolation zone in the distance to prevent the poisonous swamp from expanding.

At present, in the swamp where no life could theoretically exist, the frequency of bubbles rising was getting higher and higher.

Hundreds of bubbles gathered and turned into circles of ripples that spread continuously.

Then, at the center of the ripples, the water surface rose up as if an enormous tumor was expanding from the depths of the swamp.

After a pop, the tumor ruptured. As sticky, glittering acid, venom, and mud slowly flowed down from the body, the tumor turned into a human figure that resembled a demon.

The black figure staggered to the shore and took off the oxygen tank on his back and the protective suit on his body. That revealed a tight combat suit made of nanomaterials, which outlined his strong muscles, and Yun Feidian's stiff face that easily triggered an "uncanny valley" effect.

Looking at the poisonous fog rolling in the swamp, Yun Feidian grinned.

During the Monster War, Thundercloud Technology had been in charge of maintaining the underground network in the area.

Therefore, except for a few people in Thundercloud Technology, no one knew that there was a hidden abandoned pipeline in the depths of the swamp. It led to a blocked sewage treatment pool in the old factory area.

It was one of the several dozen escape routes that Yun Feidian had carefully prepared for himself.

Yun Feidian's gaze crossed the swamp and landed on Dragon City, which was close but appeared to be in the distance.

At this moment, black smoke was billowing and flames were soaring into the sky over in Dragon City. There were explosions and people's panicked shouts everywhere.

It was the Blood Alliance members' last ditch effort as they were driven to desperation.

Yun Feidian only looked at the scene for half a second before he turned around and forgot all about it.

He squinted and scanned the edge of the jungle not far away.

Soon, he found a patch of dark green that was slightly strange.

He grabbed the edge of the dark green patch with both hands and pulled it hard.

He ended up lifting a huge waterproof camouflage cover, which revealed a small all-terrain SUV.

Yun Feidian checked the fuel and the trunk.

Very soon, liquid crystals, fuel, compressed food, weapons, and ammunition were all available to him. They were enough to support him while he moved to the next hiding place.

Yun Feidian smiled. Then, he opened the door and jumped into the driver's seat.

"Goodbye, Dragon City," he muttered to himself.

However, before he could start the engine, the deafening roar of engines came from all directions.

The ground was shaking, and the air seemed to be burning. The towering trees in the depths of the jungle ahead fell like giants that had been cut down.

"What's this?"

Yun Feidian's pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

Dozens of fully-armored, tracked bulldozers were approaching him from the front like a flood of steel, flattening the jungle with haste.

There were huge searchlights on top of these bulldozers, and their beams of light made Yun Feidian's head buzz. It was as if the world had turned white, and there was nowhere to hide.

Ironically, Yun Feidian discovered that these tracked bulldozers were all Iron Shield Type-3s, which were manufactured by Thundercloud Technology. They utilized bionic technology, carried monster brains, and were engraved with a large number of automatic control runes to achieve the effect of unmanned driving and working.

Since there was no need for a cockpit and a gap for observation with the naked eye, the Iron Shield Type-3's exterior could be equipped with armor at a crazy rate, raising its defense to the extreme. Even if it was surrounded by monsters, it could slowly but firmly do its job. It was Thundercloud Technology's trump card.

Its system's most remarkable feature was a highly modular design. By changing different operation units, it could achieve various functions such as building forward operating bases, clearing jungles, as well as city ruins, and even acting as a mobile fortress on a battlefield.

Yun Feidian did not know what kind of modifications these Iron Shield Type-3s had undergone.

However, judging from the spirit waves that the Iron Shield Type-3s exuded incessantly and the roaring engines that were obviously a level higher than those of the regular model, it was obvious that they were not ordinary.

"Yun Feidian, you have nowhere to run!"

Meng Chao's voice came from the Iron Shield Type-3 that was leading the way.

"Meng Chao!"

Yun Feidian's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth.

Although he did not use an external loudspeaker like his opponent, his voice was still akin to a stormy sea, clearly and fiercely bombarding the dozens of bulldozers It caused the steel beasts that weighed nearly 100 tons to tremble slightly.

"You think your plan is flawless?"

Meng Chao did not move. He continued speaking. "You 'kindly' told the Blood Alliance leaders that their only option was to run away right now to make it easier for them to escape. You asked them to create a series of destruction and chaos to attract our attention as much as possible, didn't you?

"Little did they know that they were just chess pieces that you tossed out and bait that you were using to attract our attention. Even if they're all captured, I don't think that you'd feel any pity for them at all.

"But what you didn't expect was, Senior Shen and I predicted your reaction a long time ago. We knew that once we revealed the truth, you would only be left with the road of fleeing.

"As for the escape route, you're cunning, so you wouldn't take the main road. Instead, you'd walk through the secret passages deep beneath Dragon City.

"What came next was very simple.

"We only needed to find out Thundercloud Technology's path of construction and maintenance during the Monster War. We had to identify the area of the underground pipe network system since that was where you were going run through!"
