1859 Destructive Calamity
Zhou Chen nodded.
The two leaders of the Mundt Gang had been captured, and most of the black fog in the base had been eliminated in the fierce battle just now.
According to the players from the City of Darkness who have surrendered, Aktu was the only deputy leader left in the Mundt Gang.
It’s hard to support him alone.
It was time to launch the final attack and settle this once and for all.
“Now that we have captured the leader of the Mundt Gang, the morale of the Mundt Gang has collapsed. Let’s kill the remaining forces in the Mundt Gang in one go.”
“Commander Zhou.”
Oracle Autolia was still a little uneasy. She tried to persuade them, “We don’t need to be afraid of the Mundt Gang. However, the black fog in their base aura is very strange. We can’t take the game rift lightly. For safety reasons, I suggest you give me an hour to reinforce the magic seal around the base to prevent any accidents.”
After the previous few exchanges, Zhou Chen was also very afraid of the black fog at the base of the Mundt Gang. He thought about it and nodded immediately.
“The Oracle is really thoughtful. Alright, do just as she said.”
The Federation military immediately began to work together with the Holy Court to set up a periphery magic array to strengthen the outer perimeter of the base.
A few minutes after the preparations were made, a federal soldier hurried over and whispered something to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen frowned when he heard this, and his expression became a little strange.
Kleinman looked at Zhou Chen and asked, “Commander Zhou, did something happen?”
Zhou Chen pretended to be relaxed and smiled. He replied, “It’s the people from the Mundt Gang. They probably know that Meng Ruhui is under our control and have come to negotiate with us.”
Negotiate?
In the temporary camp, everyone couldn’t help but feel strange.
Now that even the leader of the Mundt Gang had been captured, they had been reduced to meat on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. What capital did they have to negotiate with them?
Zhou Chen had the same thought. He nodded and said, “Bring them up. Let’s hear what they have to say.”
Soon, a member of the Mundt Gang was brought up under the custody of the Federation.
Zhou Chen looked down at the newcomer and said disdainfully, “There’s no one left in the Mundt Gang. You sent a nobody to pass on the message. You can say whatever you want.”
When the members of the Mundt Gang arrived, they were already prepared to die. They raised their heads and said, “I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Mundt Gang. My request is simple. Release our people immediately. All of them!”
Zhou Chen looked at him with interest and asked, “What else?”
“Otherwise, we’ll release the black fog that is trapped in the holy land of the Mundt Gang!”
Heh, just based on the remaining black fog aura in the base?
Zhou Chen lost his interest in listening. He waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to leave.
“Wait! Leader told me to relay two words to you, ‘demonic seed’.”
Hearing this, Zhou Chen and the other Federation players did not understand what it was, but the expressions of the people from the Holy Court changed slightly.
“What did you say?!”
The Archbishop of the Holy Court could not help but interrupt. He blocked the two soldiers and questioned, “What did Aktu say?!”
Seeing how anxious the people of the Holy Court were, the gang members became even more emboldened. They threatened, “The deputy gang leader said that we all have rotten lives. If we die, so be it. If you still don’t let us go, we’ll release the demonic seed pollution source. At that time, everyone will fight to the death! Let’s bring more people along with us!”
The expressions of the people from the Holy Court became even uglier when they heard this.
Zhou Chen noticed the change in the expressions of the people from the Holy Court. He could not help but turn to look at the Archbishop of the Holy Court and ask, “Archbishop, what is a demonic seed?”
“It’s related to the advanced hidden game world. Pollution has a very strong infectious ability and will have a disastrous effect on ordinary people. If it’s really as they said, there’s a demonic pollution aura inside the Mundt Gang. Once the aura spreads, the pollution will spread among players and it will be very troublesome.”
Zhou Chen frowned and raised his hand to signal to the soldier beside him.
“Let me go!”
“Let our Leader go! Otherwise, all of you will regret it!”
The soldiers dragged the screaming members of the Mundt Gang away.
Zhou Chen had never heard of any information related to demonic seed pollution before. He could not help but ask, “May I ask what level of disaster the demonic seed pollution is?”
The Archbishop nodded and said, “Yes. It’s the highest 3S level, the destructive level.”
The expressions of the people from the Federation changed when they heard this.
Destructive level.
It was equivalent to the level of world destruction.
If they were not careful, the entire world would be destroyed.
Kleinman hesitated for a moment before asking, “Everyone, are we still uncertain if the Mundt Gang can release the demonic seed? Could the Mundt Gang be lying to us?”
A federal officer immediately echoed, “Indeed, the term ‘demonic seed pollution’ came out of nowhere. There has never been any evidence that the black fog released by the game rift is related to the demonic seed pollution.”
“That makes sense. The demonic seed and the pollution are most likely strategies that the Mundt Gang is using to delay for time! They’re bluffing us!”
“The more they want to stall for time, the faster we have to be! I suggest we act immediately and catch them off guard!”
Most of the officers in the military department had the same opinion. None of them had ever heard of the demonic seed contamination and they thought that the Mundt Gang was just putting on an act.
As for the Holy Court…
The people of the Holy Court were often putting up an act.
Who knew if it was true or false?!
Zhou Chen pressed his hand down and stopped everyone’s discussion. He looked at Oracle Autolia.
“Oracle Autolia, what do you think?”
Oracle Autolia had not participated in the discussion and had not said a word. She frowned and looked into the depths of the base of the Mundt Gang. She spoke in a deep voice, “I am not sure if what they said is true or not. However, the dark fog’s transformation is indeed similar to the pollution. We cannot completely rule out this possibility.”
“What about the past?” one of the officers asked, “The last time you came here, you also participated in the sealing of the mystical array. At that time, did you feel any traces of the demonic seed contamination?”
“I can confirm that more than ten years ago, there was no demonic seed pollution here at all.”
Autolia said, “If there are any changes, it must have happened in the past ten years.”
Kleinman was silent.
Originally, they were only here to chase after the fleeing demi-humans.
First, they encountered the City of Darkness, then the Mundt Gang, then the dark fog, and now the demonic seed pollution.
Ever since Fang Heng appeared, things had become more and more uncontrollable. He had an extremely strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that all of this was inextricably linked to Fang Heng!
Zhou Chen was a little hesitant when he heard the Holy Court’s analysis. The data he had so far was not enough for him to make a judgment.
He needed more information.
There was no direct communication between the inside and outside of City of Darkness.
It would take a long time to obtain more data related to the demonic seed pollution from the Federation headquarters.
While he was thinking, Autolia realized that something was wrong.
Her gaze was focused on the depths of the Mundt Gang’s base, and her brows were tightly knitted.
“Boom!!!”
