Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1534
Chapter 1534: A Deliberate Show of Strength
“I have to think of a way to attract the guards’ attention. At the same time, I have to destroy 80% of the surveillance equipment, or at the very least, 50%!”
If he could destroy half of the surveillance equipment and distract a third of the guards, the experienced sniper would be able to shift his gaze for a few seconds.
Meng Chao was confident that he could enter the heavily guarded “dragon and tiger’s den” as if there was no one there.
Looking at the traces left by the recent earthquake everywhere in the cave, Meng Chao had an idea.
He dived back into the bottom of the river andexpanded his vitality magnetic field to its limit.
Then, he scanned the surrounding high-energy materials and the concentration of spirit energy.
Soon, he figured out the hydrology of the underground river, including the number of tributaries and the concentration of spirit energy of each tributary within a radius of several miles.
He used his hands and feet like a giant loach, moving close to the riverbed.
Squeezing through a crack that was only as thick as a palm, he soon found a tributary that was obviously purple in color.
The concentration of spirit energy in this tributary was extremely high.
The river water was also mixed with a large amount of glittering suspended substances.
The deformed monsters and mutated plants that lived on the riverbed looked even more ferocious, ugly, and weird as if they were products of incomplete evolution after suffering from nuclear radiation.
Even Meng Chao’s totem armor was emitting a weak alarm sound.
It warned him that if he stayed in such a harsh environment for a long time, his armor’s performance parameters would drop drastically.
“It’s here!”
Meng Chao’s eyes were shining.
To an ordinary person, it was a pitch-black world. However, in Meng Chao’s eyes, it turned into a colorful painting scroll with its concentration of spirit energy and intensity of radiation.
Following the lines of the “painting scroll,” Meng Chao quickly locked onto the left side of the riverbed. There was an extremely bright crack that looked like a poisonous centipede wriggling and twisting.
Raising his extraordinary vision to the maximum, he could clearly see that streams of spirit energy that looked like ink were spurting out from the depths of the crack, forming a raging whirlpool in the river.
“My guess is right. The biochemical sewage discharged by the Blood Flower laboratory alone is not enough to make the radiation of the underground river and the reproduction of the Blood Flower spores so terrible.
“After all, the enemy has spent a lot of money to buy an advanced sewage treatment system. They just don’t want any clues to leak out.
“It’s a pity that man’s plan isn’t as good as God’s. The small-scale earthquake not long ago not only damaged the sewage treatment system but also tore apart the weaker rock layers below the riverbed. The branches of the Red Radiance Jade lode, as well as the accompanying minerals with complex components and unstable crystals, were directly exposed to the air and river water.
“This place was the main area affected by the explosion of the Red Radiance Jade vein a few years ago.
“Although the Red Radiance Jade vein and the accompanying ore did not directly explode, the spirit energy stored in the jade vein and the accompanying ore has been ‘awakened.’
“Spirit energy had accumulated in the depths of the Red Radiance Jade vein and the accompanying ore for billions of years. Stimulated by the spirit storm, it was activated. It was equivalent to a dormant volcano that had been dormant for several billion years, but black smoke suddenly billowed out as it entered the active phase.
“During the ‘active phase,’ as long as the branches and the companion mines are stimulated slightly, a new, small-scale earthquake would be triggered.
“The earthquake that led to the diversion of the underground river a while ago must have been caused by that.
“After the earthquake, the hosts of the Blood Flower laboratory must have been scared out of their wits. They’re extremely sensitive to the faintest tremors in the depths of the underground.
“In that case, I only need to flap my wings like a small butterfly…”
The only problem was that this associated mineral vein was hidden extremely deep.
It was still more than sixty meters away from the bottom of the river bed.
Moreover, the crevices were zigzagging. Many places were less than a millimeter wide. Not even a strand of hair could go through.
If an ordinary superhuman had been there, he could only use a simple and crude method to open up the mineral vein. He could force his entire way through the crevice and set off raging waves in the underground river. Of course, Horizon would also detect him right away.
Meng Chao, on the other hand, had a secret weapon.
He inserted his right hand, which was wrapped in totem armor, into the crack at the bottom of the river bed.
He spread his fingers apart. Then, with a telepathic thought, his totem armor, which was as hard as iron, immediately softened, disintegrated, and reverted to its liquid mercury form.
His spirit magnet made of countless nanorobots turned into several thousand strands of “mercury” as Meng Chao’s vitality magnetic field restrained it. Like roots that were constantly growing, they penetrated the gap without a sound, heading straight to the associated mineral veins.
The spirit magnet was like an extension of Meng Chao’s limbs.
It was also closely connected to his sensory nerves.
When the strands of “mercury” gently pierced into and wound around the associated mineral veins buried deep in the ground, Meng Chao immediately analyzed the composition of the mineral veins.
“Flame Fluorite, sky-blue color-changing stone, Cristobalite ore, Haze Crystal…”
These were all common associated ores of Red Radiance Jade.
Meng Chao was familiar with their texture, vibration frequency, molecular structure, and spirit magnetic field model.
After 3.5 seconds of calculation, a series of mysterious and complicated formulas appeared in Meng Chao’s mind.
He took another 1.5 seconds to build a rigorous resonance model from crisscrossing attacks.
Meng Chao inserted five of his fingers into the crack, and they began to oscillate at different high frequencies.
With the continuous oscillations, five spirit energy streams of different natures flowed into the associated veins along the highly mobile spirit magnets.
The stimulated associated veins were like awakened hidden dragons that were blossoming in different colors of red, orange, blue, and green.
In the beginning, Meng Chao had to burn his cells continuously to stimulate his mitochondria and release increasingly powerful spirit energy to add fuel to the fire.
However, when the concomitant vein surpassed the critical value, the crystal structure of many crystals would change and even experience an avalanche-like chain reaction.
Even if Chao Meng retracted all his spirit powers and the spirit magnet, roaring sounds like rolling thunder from the depths would continue to reverberate and intensify.
The whole riverbed began to tremble.
Countless colorful bubbles were pouring out of the cracks at the bottom of the riverbed.
The cracks grew larger and larger, as though a pair of invisible, weird hands were tearing the riverbed apart.
The bubbles exploded in the river water, turning the river water into colorful, boiling magma.
“This level of vibration should be enough.”
Meng Chao stopped near the cracks and observed attentively.
He only wanted to create a small-scale earthquake that was just a bluff.
He did not want to collapse Horizon’s Blood Flower laboratory and destroy evidence that could be traced back to the Blood Alliance or annihilate them in the depths of the Earth.
After confirming that the magnitude and trend of the earthquake were exactly the same as the model that he had built in his mind, Meng Chao felt slightly relieved. He dived back to the source of the underground river, directly below the sewage treatment system.
