Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1509
Chapter 1509 Tearing the Night Apart
Krash!
Before Meng Chao realized Gao Chuang’s real purpose, the black market boss, codenamed “Giant-toothed Crocodile,” had already smashed through the seemingly sturdy tempered glass.
As it turned out, when renovating this office on the top floor of the skyscraper, Gao Chuang had carefully selected a French window and secretly destroyed its four corners.
He ensures that the tempered glass was indestructible when receiving impact from the outside. Even six-barreled Vulcan cannons, anti-material sniper bullets, and anti-tank rockets could not explode it.
However, as long as he exerted a slight force from the inside, the tempered glass would be shattered.
The fierce wind was like a raging wave, instantly engulfing the entire office and sweeping up the debris all over the ground, forming a huge whirlpool that could swallow everything
Beyond the tempered glass, there was a steel beam that extended into the void.
Gao Chuang stood at the end of the steel beam, his face rippling with an increasingly relaxed smile.
Meng Chao had initially thought that he was going to escape. The problem was that the streets were now filled with people. Plus, mid-level to low-level superhumans, who were beyond angry, were everywhere.
Not far away, there were also armored airships belonging to different units in the air, rushing over at full speed.
On top of that, there were Heaven Realm warriors from the major forces who could seal off the entire sky in no time.
Many pairs of eyes had already locked onto Gao Chuang There was no way out in the sky and no way on the ground. There was nowhere for him to run.
Gao Chuang’s eyes and cheeks were getting increasingly red, while green smoke was puffing out of his nostrils and ears. The green smoke was about to turn into flames when Meng Chao finally identified Gao Chuang’s method of “escaping” interrogation, trial, and judgment.
“No!” Meng Chao shouted.
“Don’t do this. You can still be saved. As long as you’re willing to cooperate, I guarantee that no one can touch you. You can live!” “Live? Then what?”
Gao Chuang opened his arms in the wild wind as if he was stepping on spider silk that was hanging in the sky above hell, maintaining his balance unsteadily.
He smiled. “Live on. I’ll be interrogated and interviewed endlessly. I’ll tell them again and again how I went from a hero who saved the lives of countless citizens during the Monster War to a scum who was blinded by greed, hoarded, and despised by everyone.
“I’ll also be forced into the conflict between the Azure Alliance and the nine families. I’ll either become a chess piece on your side or become a puppet on the nine families’ side.
“In the end, because this matter has become too big, no matter how much I cooperate and try to redeem myself, I’ll have to spend at least eight to ten years in prison.
“While I’m in prison, I won’t be able to get sufficient cultivation resources, so my cultivation will naturally plummet.
“By the time I’m released from prison, I’ll have no money, no status, and no power. Aside from being full of pain and regret, I’ll have nothing
“What’s worse than being despised and ridiculed by others is that no one will remember who I am. I’ll become a nobody and an ordinary citizen who can only look up to others.
“Is this what you mean by ‘living?””
Meng Chao was silent.
Everyone was smart.
Naturally, they knew that every word Gao Chuang said was true.
Meng Chao was confident that he could save Gao Chuang’s life.
However, it was impossible for him to help Gao Chuang escape a fair trial.
He had to take responsibility for what he had done.
“What’s wrong with being an ordinary citizen?”
Meng Chao could only say, “No matter how many superhumans there are in Dragon City, they don’t exceed 5% of the population. The remaining 95% are all ordinary citizens.”
“Perhaps there’s nothing wrong with being an ordinary citizen. However, after getting a taste of extraordinary power in my hands, I can no longer bear to leave my fate for others to decide, to live a life of being protected and manipulated by others!”
Gao Chuang mumbled, “Perhaps, I should have died a long time ago. I should have died in the jungle full of monsters, under the overwhelming beast horde, like a real hero.
“No, not just me. All superhumans should have died before the end of the last war. That’s the only way I could have accepted everyone’s eternal worship and remembrance with the perfect image of a hero.
“We are a group of monsters. We are monsters in human skin. We eat half a month’s worth of an ordinary person in a meal. Our fists are stronger than anti-tank cannons. We have far more energy than ordinary people. We can even make the opposite sex feel ten times more stimulated ten times faster.
“In short, we can easily decide the fate of ordinary people.
“This also means that ordinary people will never be able to get along well with us.
“There will always be problems, there will always be conflicts, and there will always be people who lose their mind and transform into something that’s beyond recognition. Even they themselves feel hatred and fear.
“Goodbye, old friend. No matter who you are, I wish that you can always keep the original intention you had when you first awakened your extraordinary powers, unlike me, who unknowingly became an unrecognizable—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Meng Chao pounced on Gao Chuang like an arrow that had just left the bow.
However, there was a reason that Gao Chuang was a big shot in the black market. He was the spokesperson for the questionable interests of countless genetic medicine companies. Naturally, he had his own methods.
Even if he was not a match for Meng Chao, he was bent on seeking death.
It was not something that Meng Chao could stop.
Before Meng Chao’s vitality magnetic field, which suddenly expanded like an octopus, touched Gao Chuang’s fingertips, Gao Chuang had already jumped down from a hundred meters in the air.
If Meng Chao had not been afraid of being exposed, he would have certainly flown into the air and retrieved Gao Chuang.
But that was meaningless now.
Gao Chuang detonated all the spirit energy stored in his body before he fell to the ground.
His skin instantly became crystal clear, and his flesh below seemed to turn into magma.
Every blood vessel and nerve was clearly visible, and they gradually turned into cracks on his skin.
Bright flames spurted out of Gao Chuang’s seven orifices. His limbs were entangled and swallowed by fiery snakes like two pairs of burning wings, transforming him from a “giant-toothed crocodile” to a giant butterfly.
No, he was not a butterfly.
He was a moth.
A moth flying into the fire.
At that moment, Gao Chuang’s throat, had been burned black by the flames. Even so, he finally managed to spit out the last word in his sentence.
“…Monster.”
Gao Chuang had chosen to go mad. His body spontaneously combusted, ending his life.
Although it was not a matter of dignity, at least it was satisfying enough
Amidst the exclamations of countless people below, his burning corpse fell hundreds of meters from the air. With a loud slam, it crashed heavily into the glass dome of the hall on the second floor, falling into a rainbow of colors amidst the dazzling neon lights.
He shattered into pieces and died.
As Meng Chao carried the core transaction data that might involve the management of countless genetic medicine factories, he sneaked out of Xinhui Business Center and returned to the main street before the investigators arrived.
He discovered that the four streets surrounding the building had all turned into the Raging Tiger River and Red Dragon River.
The price of the gene reagents remained high, and the supply was in short supply. In fact, the supply of the gene reagents had been out of stock for a long time, making the cultivation of low-level and mid-level superhumans without any background increasingly difficult. Their problem of having to take more time to level up had long affected everyone’s nerves.
However, in the past, there had been no conclusive evidence, and the low-level and mid-level superhumans did not know where to vent their anger.
Until today, Meng Chao’s unintentional discovery had triggered a shocking and indignant truth.
The low-level and mid-level superhumans who were willing to step forward and investigate to the end were naturally far more than three to five hundred or one to two thousand.
Almost all the superhumans were calling their friends.
Almost all the superhumans had a lack of cultivation resources and faced cultivation costs that were too high. It was to the extent that they could not make ends meet and were even burdened with heavy debt.
Almost all superhumans had the experience of being treated as fat lambs on the black market and ruthlessly butchered.
Almost all superhumans had been plagued with doubt when they saw the sons of wealthy families wantonly squander the cultivation resources that they could not wait for. They wondered, “Where did these little brats’ cultivation resources come from?”
Therefore, almost all the low-level superhumans who were born poor and did not have any background or connections rushed over from all directions in Dragon City.
With Xinhui Business Center as the center, they formed a vast and mighty long dragon in the crisscrossing streets and alleys that resembled a cobweb.
The vitality magnetic fields of all the low-level and mid-level superhumans vibrated at a high frequency due to their anger and constantly rubbing against each other in the dense crowd. In the dark night, they bloomed with colorful spirit flames, just like numerous bared fangs and brandished claws, the fire dragons were burning fiercely, ready to tear apart the dark night at any time.
It was the age of information age.
The speed at which news spread through the grapevine was faster than the Deity Realm warriors’ speed of lightning.
Even if some people had no choice but to guard their important posts, they could still monitor everything that happened inside and outside Xinhui Business Center in real time. They did so through the three-hundred-and-sixty-degree ultra-high-definition images captured by thousands of cameras. They could hear the numerous comrades, who had fought side by side, roaring like raging waves.
“We want the truth!”
“We want fairness!”
“We want resources!”
“We want cultivation!”
If the mid-level and low-level superhumans, who had gathered together out of impulse, had been a little anxious and worried about whether the news was true or if this was the black market’s headquarters that had secretly accumulated countless cultivation resources…
Then, when Gao Chuang smashed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and jumped down from the top floor of the building, turning into an incomparably dazzling fireball in midair, all the people’s worries vanished in an instant.
Many low-level and mid-level superhumans had witnessed and even personally experienced the terrifying scene of spirit energy deviation.
Naturally, they knew what it meant for spirit flames to shoot out of a superhuman’s body so violently.
If there was really no problem with Xinhui Business Center…
How could a mid-level to high-level superhuman with such bright spirit flames and extraordinary strength jump down from the top of the building and commit suicide at that critical moment?
