Chapter 1855 The Confrontation Underground
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The Supernatural Tower at the center of the city had originally been a towering structure that pierced the clouds.
Even when the Monster War was at its fiercest and nearly half of the city had been reduced to burning ruins, the Supernatural Tower still stood tall and mighty. The nine super-powered crystal searchlights at the top of the tower would constantly emit a light as dazzling as a treasured sword. It allowed the struggling people in every corner of Dragon City to see it clearly. They could see the human spirit pierce through the clouds like a raging flame and point straight at the sea of stars. As a result, their courage and faith increased a hundredfold.
However, at this moment, the Supernatural Tower was caught in the subtle but tense confrontation between the two separated groups of armored airships in the sky. It gave off the impression that it was wavering, and that made people feel uneasy as well as nervous.
As the base camp of all the superhumans in Dragon City, the security inside and outside the Supernatural Tower was naturally very tight. It was also set up as a temporary command center by several emergency action departments.
The armored vehicles that escorted the Blood Alliance members and the evidence of their crimes were like armored steel hedgehogs, entering and exiting the Supernatural Tower.
In the air, invisible waves that contained tremendous information spread out in all directions like an overlapping and dense tide.
Battle God Palace was regarded as the "holy land of martial arts" and even a "spiritual pillar" by all the residents of Dragon City. However, aside from Meng Chao, Lu Siya, and a few other people, most of the superhumans who were busy in the middle and upper levels of the tower had no idea that it was now empty above them.
Below their feet, in the Ancient Ruins Research Center deep underground, two elite teams that should have been fighting side by side were at daggers drawn, not giving in to each other.
One of them was a group of Battle God Palace disciples led by "Railway Gun" Long Feijun.
From a legal point of view, Battle God Palace was not like Broken Star Club and the Azure Alliance, which were officially registered civil organizations.
Instead, it was a big family that had been spontaneously formed by the young people who had received careful guidance and financial support from Battle God Lei Zongchao in the past twenty to thirty years. They wanted to learn more from the Battle God and protect him.
Its core members, such as "Railway Gun" Long Feijun, were war orphans who had received Lei Zongchao's financial support and emotional care since they were children.
In the decades of war, Dragon City had produced hundreds of thousands, even millions, of war orphans.
Over the past twenty to thirty years, Lei Zongchao had been doing his best to raise them.
He never held back and taught them everything he knew.
War orphans like them often had a few things in common.
Firstly, they were all children of the lower class. In fact, they could not even be considered as "lower class." They were lonely rats and ants living below the lofty buildings of Dragon City's civilization.
Secondly, they not only saw Battle God Lei Zongchao as a mentor but also a father. They had feelings that were beyond loyalty to him. They believed in the Battle God's principle that "the blood of the strong should flow for the weak," and they were willing to defend it with their lives.
Thirdly, their identity as war orphans made them sensitive and intense. They naturally did not trust the children of the rich who had the support of their large families. They also opposed the status quo that the nine mega corporations had set and run for decades.
Fourthly, many other war orphans who had grown up also held a grudge against Battle God Lei Zongchao for his choices in the past.
They believed that it was Lei Zongchao's tolerance and concession that reduced Dragon City to a playground for the nine mega corporations, which ruled the world as a unit. They acted wantonly and unscrupulously.
Well, perhaps decades ago, Lei Zongchao had been alone, and he had no choice but to submit to the will of the nine families.
However, Lei Zongchao no longer fought alone in the present. He had a group of loyal, righteous, selfless, and fearless disciples in Battle God Palace.
Among them was the youngest Deity Realm warrior in Dragon City, Meng Chao, who had just returned from Picturesque Orchid Lake and made a great contribution. There were also people like "Railway Gun" Long Feijun, who represented the Red Dragon Army's young officers. There were also people who ventured into various industries, fought bravely on the front lines, got along well with the ordinary people, and understood, as well as controlled, Dragon City's fundamental nature.
With such a foundation, Battle God Lei Zongchao could and should step out of the mountain again to clean up this mess and set a new order in Dragon City!
Yet, the Battle God, whom they regarded as their kind father, teacher, and last hope, had mysteriously disappeared at this critical moment.
No wonder all his disciples in Battle God Palace were gritting their teeth with bloodshot eyes and killing intent. They looked at everyone with suspicion and hostility.
When they turned their gazes, which were as sharp as daggers, to the young masters of the rich families, they wanted to carve the words, "Did you b*stards do this?" into their faces.
Before the disciples of Battle God Palace who were on the verge of exploding, the secret police led by Shen Yupeng were silent. Even so, their aura was growing stronger and stronger.
The secret police under the Supernatural Tower and the adjudicator court were disciplinary forces that specialized in dealing with the crimes committed by superhumans.
Due to the secrecy and destructive power of the superhumans, once they broke the law and crossed the line of humanity, it was very easy for them to cause immeasurable damage in the densely populated areas.
Therefore, the investigation, arrest, and punishment of superhuman criminals and ordinary criminals were vastly different.
In a sense, the secret police were just like hunters.
However, the latter hunted monsters in the jungle.
The former lurked in the shadows of reinforced concrete and hunted superhumans in the steel jungle called the city.
The selection criteria for the secret police were a hundred times harsher than the criteria for the Abnormal Beast Research Department and the nine mega corporations.
As the secret police, they also had the absolute power to act first and report later, open fire whenever they deem it necessary, and investigate at will.
It was not hard to imagine that the special discipline team, which was designed to deal with their own people, had been controlled by the nine cultivation families since the very beginning. The central and high-level commanders were core members of the nine cultivation families. More than 80% of the secret police at the bottom level were also the children of noble families.
Despite the rise of the lower class in recent years, and the superhumans from this class emerging in the business world, academic world, political world, military world, and official institutions, the court's secret police remained an impenetrable fortress. They adopted various selection guidelines to pick out the bad seeds to ensure their team's "purity."
