Chapter 1480 - Tailless Monkey and Giant-Toothed Crocodile
Chapter 1480 Tailless Monkey and Giant-Toothed Crocodile
Meng Chao typed in his father and mother’s names in the search bar again.
Compared with Lu Siya, whose name was known all over the city, his father and mother were undoubtedly much more low-key.
Meng Chao only found a few news articles about their participation in charity events.
Looking at the dates, they were all recent events.
His old folks had a few wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, and they looked good in the photo. There should not be too many changes, except for signs of their own aging.
Meng Chao breathed out a sigh of relief.
He typed in “Bai Jiacao” again.
The reason why he put his little sister at the end was not that he did not care about his little sister.
It was because he was worried that he would find something strange like the “Dark Witch.”
Fortunately, the future had changed, and that nightmare did not happen.
His little sister was still enjoying her university life without any worries. Moreover, she had already displayed her amazing martial arts talent and was gradually making a name for herself.
Meng Chao speculated that the Bai Jiacao in his nightmare was just an ordinary person with no background. Even if she mysteriously disappeared, it would not cause a huge uproar.
In addition, the drastic changes in her family had caused her personality to be extreme. That was why, under the bewitchment of those with ulterior motives, she set foot on the path of a witch.
However, the Bai Jiacao now had her own protective talisman. Her target was too big. If the Blood Alliance wanted to touch her, they would definitely have to weigh the pros and cons. If they were slightly careless, it would be very easy for them to get away with it.
Of course, Meng Chao would not entrust the safety of his family to the mercy of the enemy. Even if it was for the sake of his little sister being able to live in the bright sunlight and never worry, he would do everything he could to remove the thorn of the Blood Union!
Just as he was thinking, a news pop-up popped up in the lower right corner of the browser.
It was broadcasting the series of events that happened outside the monster mountain range last night, such as the torrential rain, the flood, and the explosion of the Crystal Warehouse.
Compared to the thousands of casualties when the Beast Tide attacked and destroyed the entire block.
The casualties caused by the rainstorm, floods, and the explosion of the crystal warehouse last night were almost negligible.
It did not cause too much psychological trauma to the people of Dragon City who had been honed through the flames of war.
The people of Dragon City had long been mentally prepared for the casualties they would have to pay if they wanted to conquer the other world.
However, due to the heavy rain, floods, and even the explosion of the crystal warehouse, the commissioning date of the Red Creek Project and several nearby crystal ore mines had been repeatedly delayed. The mining volume after the official commissioning might not be as high as expected, this explosive news, however, was not stingy in throwing a heavy bomb at the financial market of Dragon City, causing a great uproar.
Affected by the negative news, the composite financial index of Dragon City dropped more than three points in the first half hour of trading
The crystal resources section could only be described as “a river of blood, a terrible sight.”
So many analysts used such terrifying words as “guillotine” when commenting on today’s plummeting trend.
When Meng Chao clicked on the details, he was even more shocked.
It was not because of how severe the one-day decline in the index was.
It was because he discovered that the shares of the nine mega corporations, including Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation, had actually risen by more than 200%, or even several times, compared to when he left Dragon City more than a year ago.
One had to know that these were not small and small enterprises that could easily turn around.
They were colossals of astonishing size, like nine huge Emperor Mammoths.
In just a short year, it was as if they had been injected with super large doses of hormones and stimulants, or even directly injected with air, and it had inflated by three to five times!
“How… How is this possible?”
“Although the victory of the Monster War was indeed a great benefit.
“However, it is not so easy to perfectly digest and absorb the war dividends.
“Even if they have perfectly inherited the legacy of the monster civilization, the Dragon City civilization still faces problems such as being remote, lacking resources, and limited market capacity. It is completely different from the local customs of different races in the other world, and it is difficult to completely open up the external market in the short term.
“With this restriction, it is already good enough that Dragon City does not have an economic crisis.
“How can the financial market be so hot?
“The market values of the nine super enterprises have all been blown into the sky. The problem is that these behemoths can not always float in the sky.
“The higher the blow now, the harder the fall will be.
“And this rainstorm, flood, and the big explosion that happened at the Red Creek Project are very likely to be the fuse. It is an incomparably sharp steel needle that is enough to burst a bubble!”
Meng Chao kind of understood what Shen Yulin meant by, “Dragon City needs war.”
Indeed, many people have identified the orcs as responsible for the explosion of the Red Creek Project. The activists of Universe Corporation and Sky Pillar Corporation, at the first moment, all issued impassioned declarations, declaring that in order to ensure the safety of the human mining areas, they must strike with a thunderous momentum, launch a special military operation against the orcs.
Due to the positioning of this special military operation is to “protect the mining area”, only the mobilization of corporate arms and the nine families of practice their own extraordinary, without the need to launch the Red Dragon Army.
So, you don’t have to get permission from the Survival Council.
Affected by this, in the resources plate fell in Huala at the same time, the military industry plate is rising against the trend, a solo show.
Countless ordinary investors who owned military industry stocks were also excited. They believed that even the apocalyptic beasts that could destroy the world had fallen at the feet of humans. The Little Orcs were as dirty and weak as rats, they dared to provoke the humans on their own initiative. They were simply courting death!
“Use the iron flood of Dragon City to make those damn beasts accept the baptism of human civilization!”
Yes, in the eyes of these people, the Tulan Orcs were not even human. They were only beasts in human form.
Meng Chao had a headache.
The citizens of Dragon City could not be blamed for being too fanatical.
Without such fanaticism, Dragon City would not have been able to survive the monster wars that had lasted for decades.
Moreover, if the Tulan Orcs were slightly weaker and did not have the ultimate threat of the Holy Light Camp behind them,
Starting a foreign war might also be one of the ways to solve internal problems.
If Meng Chao hadn’t had two vivid nightmares related to the end of the world.
Perhaps, in order to survive, he would also become the most radical militant.
Speaking of which, such public opinion didn’t make Meng Chao worry about the morale of the dragon city civilization when they needed to go to the land of Holy Light One day.
Meng Chao wanted to browse more information.
Ai Lei’s soft footsteps came from behind him.
Meng Chao closed the browser and got up to leave the communication terminal to the survivors who needed it more.
“How is it?”
He asked as he motioned for Ai Lei to sneak out of the medical camp.
“As expected, Tailless Monkey has disappeared.”
Ai Lei’s face was full of helplessness. “I’ve changed several sets of previously agreed contact methods, but none of them succeeded in contacting him. It seems that he was either killed by someone or has gone into hiding in advance.”
Tailless Monkey was Ai Lei’s broker friend.
He was also the person who had set up the mysterious informant who was hiding within Universe Corporation, as well as Ai Lei.
It was said that this guy was very well-informed. He was as alert and agile as a monkey and had never been caught by anyone before.
That was how he came to be known as the “Tailless Monkey.” “However, there is one thing that is very strange.”
Ai Lei added, “I found some other friends and asked them about Tailless Monkey. I found out that he did not go missing last night, but the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday. Anyway, nobody has seen Tailless Monkey for at least forty-eight hours.”
“Forty-eight hours?”
Meng Chao was slightly dazed.
Only twelve hours had passed since the explosion of the crystal warehouse of the Red Creek Project.
It had been less than twenty-four hours since AI lei had interviewed Shen Yulin.
Before that, Tailless Monkey wouldn’t have sensed the danger.
After all, if the tailless monkey had sensed the danger from the beginning, he wouldn’t have needed to introduce such a business deal to Ai Lei and put himself in the treacherous vortex.
“The big explosion in the crystal warehouse was a complete accident. Tailless Monkey couldn’t have foreseen it and hid in advance to avoid the trouble.”
“Therefore, I suspect that Tailless Monkey had provoked someone he shouldn’t have provoked and was either hiding or captured,” Ai Lei said.
“The broker is a high-risk profession. The more famous he is in the business, the more people he will offend. He is often confused and doesn’t even know how to die!
“I heard from Tailless Monkey that not long ago, due to a business dispute, he accidentally offended the black market boss, Giant-toothed Crocodile.
“In fact, in order to raise funds and solve the problem between him and Giant-toothed Crocodile, Tailless Monkey took the risk and asked me to investigate Universe Corporation’s scandal. As long as we can discover the ugly man’s identity, there is no need to expose him to the media. We can directly give him to some people in Universe Corporation or sell him to Sky Pillar Corporation in exchange for real money to solve our urgent problem.
“So it’s very likely that Tailless Monkey has been captured by the crocodile. Even if the black market mogul hasn’t caught Tailless Monkey yet, he must know something.”
