Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1636 - Falling Hope    



Chapter 1636: Falling Hope

Of course, Meng Chao had made the bit himself.

It was easy to tell from the curvature of the bite mark.

But…

At Meng Chao’s level, even when he entered a deep sleep state, his body had another “On-duty system.” He would always be on high alert and have control over every muscle fiber in his body.

How deep had he fallen into a nightmare to disrupt his control over his body and leave such a bloody mark on his lips?

Meng Chao licked his lips, and the blood that he swallowed felt particularly cold.

At that moment, his tactical wristwatch vibrated crazily.

Wiping away his cold sweat, Meng Chao raised his wrist and saw that Ai Lei had sent him several messages through the four new social media accounts that she had registered under different fake identities.

Meng Chao had set up a special vibration effect for AI Lei’s messages.

Logically speaking, he should have woken up from his nightmare when Ai Lei sent the first message.

For some reason, he had actually fallen into such a deep sleep!

Meng Chao frowned slightly as he opened the messages.

All the messages were the same, with only a short sentence.

Every word that formed this sentence was like a deep-water bomb, with an earth-shattering effect.

“The Bright Light has exploded!”

Meng Chao’s brain erupted with a buzz.

The Bright Light was an armored airship that the Supernatural Tower had sent off with an expert investigation team.

According to the plan, they would set sail this afternoon. They would cross Monster Mountain Range and head to Universe Corporation’s Red Creek Project site to conduct an investigation.

However, depending on the situation, they would have to expand the scope and level of the investigation.

At the moment, most of Dragon City’s citizens regarded The Bright Light as a hope that could bring them “truth and justice.”

There were also many who believed that the elites among the ordinary people aboard The Bright Light could represent them and give them a voice that could decide Dragon City’s fate.

Unexpectedly, The Bright Light exploded at this critical juncture. It was a typical example of “dying before success”!

Meng Chao looked at the time of the first message from Ai Lei.

It was 2.05 pm.

The Bright Light should have set sail at 2.00 pm. It only took five minutes from the launch to the explosion.

In other words, The Bright Light was near the airport. It had turned into a burning fireball under the public’s watchful eyes.

The messages sent by Ai Lei after 2.30 pm were all accompanied by video links.

Meng Chao clicked on a video and realized that he had guessed correctly.

The airport was crowded with people inside and outside. A huge number of people were sending them off. There were also plenty of reporters carrying “long guns and short cannons.” They kept taking pictures.

Even though there were no lights and streamers, the air was filled with optimism.

Everyone looked at The Bright Light. Some even carried their children high up and waved at The Bright Light.

The ship had been specially lengthened and widened to accommodate passengers working in the air. Amidst the noisy cheers, The Bright Light slowly rose into the air like a big-bellied blue whale.

Although it was not fast, it was very stable. It was almost impossible to feel the presence of turbulence in the air.

After it floated up to a hundred meters in the air, the crystal engines on both of its sides and at the rear finally drove the huge propeller, gradually increasing its speed of rotation. The Bright Light then shook its head and wagged its tail as it swam toward the north of Monster Mountain Range.

Right then, the two crystal engines on the left and at the rear of the starship exploded almost at the same time. Flames and thick smoke almost covered the entire armored airship.

Then, violent spirit energy spurted out of the bottom of the cockpit like an invisible volcanic eruption, instantly blowing the armored airship into smithereens.

The people in the airport had their heads raised as they watched The Bright Light leave with expectant smiles on their faces.

As such, their eyes were severely burned by the flames that fell from the sky, and they felt excruciating pain.

Before they could cry out in surprise, the wrecked aircraft fell from hundreds of meters above the ground together with its passengers.

Fortunately, about two-thirds of its passengers and the captain of the armored airship were superhumans. Right as the explosion occurred, they had activated their spirit magnetic fields and formed a shield around their bodies.

The superhumans, who had reached Heaven Realm and above, took control of the magnetic levitation force to break away from the range of the raging flames. Although they were covered in wounds, their lives were not in danger.

Even the Earth Realm fighters who could not fly freely adjusted their muscles and tendons to the most suitable state to withstand the impact. They would not die on the spot the moment they fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, one-third of the passengers and the operators of the armored airship were ordinary people.

Most of the elite ordinary people, including Su Yidong, died on the spot the moment the explosion occurred.

Only a few lucky people, although badly burnt, were caught by nearby Heaven Realm fighters before they fell and turned into meat pies. They were promptly rescued to the ground.

That was when the people in the airport reacted and screamed.

The crowd started to push each other and run. The scene started to shake as well. Soon, the equipment that was used to record the scene was pushed to the ground by the chaotic crowd along with the cameraman.

The last thing that the equipment recorded was a father holding his daughter tightly in his arms.

A moment ago, that same man had let his daughter ride on his shoulders and wave at the ship. Both of their eyes were gleaming.

Now, the father had to cover his daughter’s eyes to prevent her from seeing the tragedy that was unfolding in the air and on the ground.

The father himself had the most desperate and angry expression that Meng Chao had ever seen.

Meng Chao took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He carefully recalled the whole process of the explosion, which he had just witnessed.

After 0.1 seconds, he came to a conclusion.

“It was not an accident but foul play!

“The armored airship’s airbags are made of fire-proof materials. They’re filled with inert gas. Even if a flamethrower is fired at them for more than twenty minutes, the airbags might not ignite!

“The new generation of crystal engines are all equipped with explosion-proof devices and automatic disengagement devices as well. Even if they burn or even explode due to overload, the damaged crystal engines would be automatically ejected. There would be no chain reaction.

“For such an important mission, The Bright Light must have adopted the latest crystal engines, as well as strengthened and upgraded its overall structure. It’s impossible for it to be completely turned into a giant fireball in three seconds!

“Right. The two crystal engines that exploded in the beginning released thick black smoke simultaneously, enveloping the entire armored airship. It was obviously a smoke bomb. The purpose of the smoke bomb was to disrupt visuals and audio.

“The explosion below the cockpit was the fatal wound that The Bright Light suffered!

“There is neither a power system nor a warehouse for storing crystals below the cockpit. There shouldn’t be anything that can cause an explosion unless it’s a super powerful crystal bomb that was stuffed into the cockpit!”
