<h4>Chapter 140: ck Dragon Gang Base! Man-made God!</h4>


    Living his life a second time, Link knew that the Abyssal Realm and the Undead Army weren’t everything there was to the apocalypse. There were more terrifying existences that would descend on Blue Starter on.


    If one wanted to survive, they would have to improve their capabilities and strengthen themselves constantly.


    Outside the City Master’s Hall, Xue Linglong and the others stood by respectfully.


    Yang Xuerou took a step forward and said solemnly, “City Master, ording to the scouting over the past two days, many of the ck Dragon Gang’s strongholds in Dragon City have been abandoned.”


    “After the sacrificial offering to the God of Evil, everyone in the ck Dragon Gang has gone into hiding, going underground and into the darkness. They are seemingly engaged in some deeper scheme.”


    “We have also captured several peripheral members who have had contact with the ck Dragon Gang, but there’s no way to know their true purpose. It’s currently difficult to find traces of the ck Dragon Gang in Dragon City through conventional means.”


    Not only was the ck Dragon Gang the No Retreat Army’s enemy, but also Unfallen City’s enemy.


    After taking care of the Semi-Sage imprint, Link sent the [Doomsday Online] yers under him to scout for news about the ck Dragon Gang.


    It now seemed like the ck Dragon Gang was indeed still plotting something.


    Communicating with the God of Evil was not their whole purpose. And lying low currently seemed more like the calm before the storm.


    Link nodded slightly and asked, “Is there anything happening in the wilderness outside the city?”


    In the wilderness outside Dragon City was the Epochal Ruins; the [Key of Relic] had always been in Link’s hands.


    Previously, the siege had not begun, so the ruins could not be entered. However, the Epochal Ruins was now essible.


    But Link intended to resolve the unstable factor, the ck Dragon Gang, andpletely develop Dragon City into a strong city before considering going to the ruins.


    Based on the words of the Semi-Sage imprint before, Link guessed that certain existences in the abyss might know about the Epochal Ruins.


    Some ancient organizations on Blue Star might even know these secrets. But even if they knew where the ruins were, the [Key of Relic] was in Link’s hands.


    What Link was doing now was to see if he could lure these people out and obtain more truths about the apocalypse.


    Yang Xuerou answered, “Most of the people in the wilderness are nearby exiles who have beenforted and taken in by the people we sent. There are also some powerful ones who don’t want to leave the wilderness to ept our shelter.”


    “They could be from some powerful organizations that we’re still investigating.”


    Is someone here already? It’s getting more and more interesting. It looks like we need to take care of the ck Dragon Gang as soon as possible, Link thought. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he stopped asking.


    He looked at Xue Linglong and the others and solemnlymanded, “Go back and get ready. We will set off in two hours.”


    Luo Xinghe and the others nodded without questions.


    Yang Xuerou asked, “City Master, how many people should we send from Unfallen City this time? The ck Dragon Gang is not easy to deal with. Should we gather people above Stage Three?”


    Link shook his head slightly. “We don’t need many people.”


    The ck Dragon Gang had the ability to make people aberrated. If too many people went along, they might be a liability instead.


    Two hours soon passed, and everyone gathered again.


    Link brought along Xue Linglong, Luo Xinghe, Zhao Yongkang, and one No Retreat Army Stage Four powerhouse—Li Geyang—and left Unfallen City.


    The others, including the Stage Five blood shadow, stayed in the city to guard against unexpected events.


    Zhao Yongkang was surprised and excited by Link’s efficiency. He had long wanted to eradicate the ck Dragon Gang and avenge his brother, who died in vain that day.


    “City Master, it’s hard to trace the ck Dragon Gang now. Do you have clues that lead to them?”


    Link nodded. One might not be able to locate the ck Dragon Gang using conventional means, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t find them.


    He took out the [Mask of the Faceless]—which was full of madness and chaotic aura—and covered his face with it.


    The mask, made of an unknown being’s leather, dissolved and molded to Link’s face.


    His aurapletely changed with it, permeating with madness and an indescribable aura.


    The jet-ck whirlpool pattern on the mask seemed to be rotating on its own, looking as if it could absorb one’s soul into it.


    A faint whisper sounded as if there was an unknown presence chanting and instigating in the crowd’s ears.


    “Madness, foolishness... Those are the essences of the universe...”


    “Senses... Abandoning senses... that is the curse...”


    ...


    But due to Link’s control, these whispers wouldn’t pollute Xue Linglong and the others’ spirit.


    Also, with the [Mask of the Faceless] and the [Talisman of Eternal Sleep], Link was more sensitive to distorted auras. Hence, he was able to use it to pinpoint the ck Dragon Gang’s current location.


    Link could feel that the ce with the strongest distorted aura within Dragon City was the No Retreat Army’s original base. After all, that was the ce where the ck Dragon Gang used tomunicate with God of Evil and conduct rituals.


    Outside the city, there was also a dense God of Evil’s aura, guiding the way like a lighthouse.


    “Follow me,” said Link, and he went toward the direction of the ck Dragon Gang.


    ...


    The outskirts of Dragon City.


    Due to the Undead army’s ravaging, this ce had long been uninhabited and deste.


    And this was just how it appeared to be.


    A huge space was carved out of the ground floor of a small, three-story vi.


    Members of the ck Dragon Gang shuttled through different areas while wearing whiteb coats.


    Ordinary people, as well as some Undead monsters and even Spiderhumans—which had undergone deep aberration—were held in different areas divided by alloy doors.


    Various experiments were constantly conducted by the ck Dragon Gang members as they recorded the corresponding data.


    Many of them appeared sickly with sunken eyes.


    Some of the ck Dragon Gang members’ bodies even appeared slightly aberrated. Such aberrations appeared in the forms of eyeballs and mouths growing on the surface of their bodies. It looked iparably bizarre.


    Basement three was ck Dragon Gang’s most private ce. Only those with ck Dragon or Doctor Ghost could enter.


    Large apparatuses, with transparent containers filled with a green viscous liquid, were everywhere.


    In the transparent containers were human limbs and aberrated tissue. There were even a fewrge eyeballs swimming in the green liquid—it was absolutely terrifying.


    Some of the apparatuses here were derived from old world technology and had a sci-fi look.


    The other apparatuses were new products created by Doctor Ghost by using his profession skills as a Craftsman,bined with old-world technology.


    At this moment, ck Dragon—d in a ck robe and had a ghastly white face—stood beside Doctor Ghost.


    And beside them was a young man wearing a hoodie. It was Jiang Cheng.


    Doctor Ghost appeared excited as he introduced a pir-shaped object—covered with ck cloth—to both of them.


    “This is the greatest achievement of this experiment. It can be an aberrant weapon that we can use. I call it—Man-made God!”
