The Kirigakure Territory, completely occupied by humans, has become a jungle where giant crocodiles are rampant in another sense.

For the right to mine crystal mineral veins and the right to explore ancient ruins, nine super companies are fighting fiercely.

Although Chaoxing Resources has become famous in the industry thanks to several "snake-swallowing-elephant" mergers and acquisitions.

After all, it lacks a foundation and is not strong enough to compete head-on with the giants.

Lu Siya told Meng Chao that in order to carve up the legacy of the monster civilization, the large and small shareholders of the Qingtian Group, and even the blood-related brothers and sisters within the Lu family, were all scheming, intrigues, and resorting to all possible means.

Even her father, as the controller of "Qingtian Mining", the group's most profitable enterprise, cannot guarantee how much cream he can get from this big cake.

Not to mention the distribution of interests between Qingtian Group and Huanyu Group, between super enterprises and the Red Dragon Army, between giant crocodiles and small and medium-sized enterprises, between powerful people in the divine realm and middle- and low-level extraordinary beings.

From a certain perspective, this battle for spoils is more intense than the monster war itself.

With Meng Chao's military exploits, there is no problem if he wants to earn a few more medals and gain a false reputation such as "Dragon City's Top Ten Outstanding Young Men".

But if you want to get real benefits from the remains of monster civilization, you have to wait patiently for the opportunity.

Meng Chao is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune.

He mainly wanted to acquire more resources and add a few valuable weights to the "foreign strategy" he had planned in advance.

Faced with the current situation where giant crocodiles are rampant, we can only do nothing but sit back and watch.

Unexpectedly, on this day, the arrival of a mysterious guest made things take a turn for the worse.

…

"Thunder Master!"

An armored airship without any markings, which looked very plain at first glance, slowly landed in a temporary military base deep in the Kirigakure Territory.

The hatch slowly opened, and a rather burly old man, who was completely covered by a fully enclosed chemical protective suit, walked down step by step.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that this highest-grade fully enclosed chemical protective suit is several times bloated compared to ordinary chemical protective suits, and is filled with a crystal clear light green liquid.

There are also seven or eight tubes connected to the tank at the back of the chemical protective suit to ensure that the old man will not be exposed to any outside air, nor will he be disturbed by the chaotic psychic radiation in the Kirigakure.

This is not a chemical protective suit at all. It is simply a mobile medical cabin.

Coupled with the medical team cheering in front and behind, and the strong men and officers waiting respectfully around the armored airship.

Looking at the entire Dragon City, besides "God of War" Lei Zongchao, who else can put on such a pomp?

Lei Zongchao frowned slightly, not too impressed by the welcome ceremony arranged by "Train Cannon" Long Feijun.

But except for the fact that Meng Chao, who was supporting him at the side, sensed this, Lei Zongchao did not let his emotions leak out, causing the greeters to feel fearful and uneasy.

Instead, he abides by his duties as an old-timer with a smile.

First, he delivered an impassioned speech to the unit that performed best in this battle.

He also visited a few soldiers who were the bravest in battle and were so seriously injured that they had to have part of their limbs amputated and replaced with mechanical prostheses, and promised to teach these soldiers the "mechanical martial arts" recently developed by himself and Meng Chao.

After being busy for most of the day, I finally had time to call Meng Chao aside.

"Master Lei, why did you come to the front line?"

Meng Chao was both surprised and a little worried about Lei Zongchao's arrival.

He knew that although Lei Zongchao was the "martial arts legend" of the past, he had already entered his twilight years.

When he was young, he was attacked by mysterious forces in the ancient ruins, and suffered hundreds of fierce battles. He suffered countless major and minor injuries, overt and dark, just like a volcano that could erupt at any time, even if he died of spontaneous combustion in the next second.

Not surprising either.

In order to stabilize the life magnetic field, he usually can only stay in the Extraordinary Tower and the Martial God Temple.

It should not appear in a place like Kirigakure, where the spiritual magnetic environment is complex and radiation and interference are very strong.

Not to mention the previous life of Lei Zongchao, who died together with the monster mastermind in the depths of the Kirigakure.

Meng Chao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But considering that today is different from the past, the monster mastermind has long been swarmed by the powerful gods and torn into pieces, and the entire lair has been disemboweled and dug out by large human construction machinery, so there is no need to worry too much that the same mistakes will happen again.

"So many brave and fearless Red Dragon Army and extraordinary beings fought desperately on the front line, even sacrificing their precious lives. However, I can only huddle in the extraordinary tower. I have been restless waiting for a long time. You have finally arrived and you have gained a lot.

With the great news of victory, why don’t you come to the front line to join in the fun?”

Lei Zongchao said with a smile, paused, his expression became a little stiff, and his voice became lower, "It is said that they found traces of Jin Qianqian inside the monster's mastermind..."

"Really?"

Meng Chao immediately understood Lei Zongchao's mood.

Jin Qianqian is not only his comrade in life and death, but also his lover until death.

Although the relationship between the two has spanned half a century of erosion and the barriers between yin and yang, even at the end of his life, Lei Zongchao still could not forget the love of his life.

After learning that the love of his life was involved with the mastermind of the monster, even if it was an involuntary involvement, Lei Zongchao's mood was extremely complicated.

He probably wants to know more than Meng Chao what happened in the monster base camp, and what kind of existence the monster mastermind is.

"They told me that the monster mastermind is an existence similar to an 'ant queen'. Of course, it is countless times larger than the leader of an ordinary ant colony, and it is connected to the beast tide and doomsday evil through millions of sticky tentacles.

In the beast's gene factory, and on the chest of this 'super queen', there is a human face, exactly like Jin Qianqian. Also, when they were fighting fiercely with the monster mastermind, the monster mastermind would always use

Spoken in the voice of a tortured human girl."

Lei Zongchao sighed and said, "Don't try to persuade me. I am very clear-headed and know that it cannot be the real Jin Millennium, but the remains of Jin Millennium, which may contain part of the brain tissue and was inadvertently picked up and swallowed by the monster mastermind."

, a puppet created by reading Jin Qianqian's memory.

"It's just that even if it's just a puppet, even if it's broken into pieces or even turned into a pool of blood, I still want to go to the scene to see for myself and find out how she died.

"Meng Chao, can you understand this feeling and accompany me to the ultimate lair of monster civilization?"

Meng Chaozhou will not miss this God-given opportunity.

Lei Zongchao didn't want to alarm too many people.

After greeting everyone, Meng Chao simply drove an all-terrain vehicle with dual driving mode, carrying Lei Zongchao, and traveled in a low-key manner.

Dragon City Civilization has opened dozens of simple roads in the Kirigakure Realm.

From the military base to the edge of the sinkhole, the road is smooth.

Because humans have directional blasting in the surrounding mountains containing crystal veins, which has changed the spiritual magnetic environment, most of the fog that has surrounded the Tiankeng for thousands of years has dissipated.

The aerial jungle that originally covered the sinkhole was burned to the ground.

Standing on the edge of the tiankeng and looking far into the distance, you can see directly to the bottom of the tiankeng, which is nearly a thousand meters deep.

After the indiscriminate bombardment more than half a month ago, as well as the desperate fight between the powerful gods and the doomsday beasts, the dark jungle at the bottom of the sinkhole had long been torn to pieces and burned.

Humanity has set up a large number of tents, semi-permanent bases, automatic fire points and signal transmission towers here, and brought tens of thousands of thinking tanks, drones and construction machinery. It was like a roar of steam and splashing of molten iron.

The sweat is steaming and the construction scene is in full swing.

The all-terrain vehicle stretched out eight folded anti-joint crawling legs on both sides, replacing the crawler tracks, and followed the modified gentle slope to the bottom of the sinkhole.

They passed a large warehouse area where monster materials were temporarily stored.

Then we passed the inflatable station where armored airships and hot air balloons gathered, making constant screams of "squeaking".

There is also a large open-air canteen that can accommodate 50,000 soldiers and project builders at the same time - the ingredients here are all slaughtered on site, pieces of plump monster flesh and blood, so fresh that the tendons are still pulsing.

After eating, the soldiers were sweating profusely, burping with satisfaction, and continued to rush to the front line of the battle.

When passing the ruins of Taoyuan Town, Lei Zongchao asked Meng Chao to stop.

Because all the weeds and vines covering the ruins of Taoyuan Town were uprooted and burned to ashes.

This unfortunate satellite town revealed its shattered and devastated appearance.

Time was limited, and the construction team only had time to clean up the ruins of the collapsed building.

The remaining ruins still stand there alone, like monuments without words.

Perhaps, one day, even if the people of Longcheng build a memorial here to commemorate this satellite town that once struggled and finally escaped disaster, they don't know how to explain the destruction of Taoyuan Town, right?

With the support of Meng Chao, Lei Zongchao came to the "wordless monument" composed of ruins and broken walls.

With a solemn expression, he bowed deeply to the ruins of the town in front of him, paying homage to the souls of his compatriots who were even more unfortunate than the people of Longcheng.

Meng Chao understood what he meant instantly.

Like him, I bow deeply and hope that all wandering souls from the earth can rest in peace.

After three minutes of silence, Meng Chao straightened up and stopped talking.

"You really want to know whether Taoyuan Town was destroyed by humans or monsters?"

Lei Zongchao sensed his confusion, "You still want to know whether Earth's civilization was destroyed by a full-scale nuclear war?"

Meng Chao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

"I don't have an answer to the previous question."

Lei Zongchao said, "But for the latter question, I can tell you clearly that the earth's civilization has not been destroyed because we are still here.

"Even if the earth is now suffering from radiation pollution and is already a devastated barren land, the dust will eventually settle and no matter how terrible the radiation is, it will dissipate.

"When the time comes, we will return to Earth and rebuild the entire civilization brick by brick, road by road, city by city."

This is also Meng Chao’s belief.

But he couldn't help but wonder: "How long will it take?"

"It won't take long."

Lei Zongchao said, "It only took two million years from early humans to ignite the first spark of wisdom to when humans became the spirit of all things and the entire earth was bathed in the glory of civilization.
