Meng Chao could feel the powerful energy along the fuel line, flowing between the different crystal engines in different pods like magma with a temperature of several thousand degrees.

He could even faintly hear the liquid crystal fuel that was about to boil, and the roar that was reminiscent of an evil dragon’s awakening.

It was definitely not a normal phenomenon.

Logically speaking, the Golden Roc was still in its construction stage. It only needed to hover at a fixed coordinate. Aside from resisting strong winds from all directions, it did not need to fly at high speed, hence it did not require that much fuel.

Under normal circumstances, the Golden Roc’s fuel tanks would not even be one-third full. It would be less likely for them to release the partitions between all the fuel pipelines to connect all the fuel tanks together.

Doing so would help all the crystal engines to operate at maximum power.

However, if something unexpected happened, the burning flames of spirit energy might spread from one fuel tank to another in the blink of an eye, triggering an irreversible chain reaction that would lead to the air fortress’ destruction.

Perhaps, that was the enemy’s purpose.

Otherwise, there would be no need to install such a powerful super crystal bomb on the Golden Roc’s heart.

Meng Chao studied the bomb’s structure carefully and combined it with part of the clues he had collected from Shen Yuanbao and Ai Lei about The Bright Light’s explosion.

He found that the bomb and its fragment that caused The Bright Light’s explosion were similar. It should have been the work of the same person or organization.

That aside, the bomb was more complicated, more powerful, and of a higher level.

But it was not justifiable!

The Bright Light explosion was most likely the work of the Blood Alliance.

Based on the available evidence, the Golden Roc was definitely the Blood Alliance’s headquarters, and it was also the result of Yun Feidian’s hard work.

Why would Yun Feidian install a super crystal bomb with tremendous power in his headquarters and the result of his hard work at such a critical moment? Why would he open all the fuel valves and try to blow up the entire sky fortress?

Meng Chao thought about it quickly.

He tried to consider it from Yun Feidian’s point of view.

No matter how cunning Yun Feidian was, he did not have the ability to predict the future. He would never have guessed that a Deity Realm expert would be hiding in his lair and coming into contact with the super crystal bomb that he had planted.

Moreover, it was impossible for him to guess that Lu Siya, whom he had secretly captured and tried to frame, was not a pure and innocent little white rabbit. She was, in fact, an even scarier existence than him, the leader of the Blood Alliance.

In that case, no force could stop the Golden Roc’s explosion.

Once the Golden Roc actually exploded, Yun Feidian, the Air Forward Base Project’s leader, would become the biggest victim.

On top of that, the nine mega corporations all had shares in the Air Forward Base Project, the North Advancement Plan, and a series of colonization plans with the mega corporations as the main forces. They all had to rely on the air advancement base to carry out their plans.

The nine mega corporations, whose core interests had been damaged, would no longer compromise with other forces. They could only run wildly on the road of becoming increasingly extreme and radical.

In such a situation, the Blood Alliance members, who were lurking within the nine mega corporations, would naturally be able to amplify their voices and seize more power.

“Are they prepared to sacrifice the Golden Roc for the Blood Alliance’s rise?”

Meng Chao did not think that the nine mega corporations could lead Dragon City to victory.

After all, the Golden Roc was one of the most important strategic assets in Dragon City.

The astronomical resources and efforts invested in its construction belonged not only to the nine mega corporations but also to all the citizens of Dragon City.

Not to mention, there were countless engineers and builders who had been kept in the dark on the Golden Roc!

“All the Blood Alliance members, including Yun Feidian, have seemingly evacuated the Golden Roc’s core area. I believe they’re prepared to withstand the explosion. They can land on the ground before or at the moment of the explosion and add to their ‘innocence’ and ‘grief’ with apparently bloody wounds.

“Even so, there are still a lot of engineers and builders inside the huge air fortress. They are not members of the Blood Alliance. They are just employed by the nine mega corporations and are working hard.

“These people are the real innocents and victims!

“Yun Feidian is that insane. For the Blood Alliance’s rise, he’s prepared to sacrifice the lives of so many innocent people in addition to sacrificing the Golden Roc?”

Meng Chao did not want to believe it.

However, the rat tide that had just erupted in the downtown area and the overwhelming black waves appeared before his eyes again.

Yun Feidian had gone mad.

Once he let go of his humanity, he could do it again, or even ten thousand times.

Meng Chao could not let Yun Feidian succeed no matter what.

He had to dismantle the super crystal bomb and save the Golden Roc as well as everyone.

Meng Chao proceeded to control more spirit magnets to envelop the seemingly simple super crystal bomb and wrap spirit energy around his nerve endings. He then connected his nerve endings to the spirit magnets. He tried to turn the spirit magnets into an extension of his neural network to study the crystal bomb’s structure.

A bead of sweat the size of a bean appeared on his forehead.

Different from its simple and crude appearance, the crystal bomb’s internal structure was more precise than a clock.

The detonation system, in particular, was interlocked and embedded with many layers. Every inch was filled with murderous intent.

Meng Chao scanned the crystal bomb for only three seconds and found four flaws that had been deliberately left behind. It was obviously a trap left behind by the crystal bomb’s designer for the disassemblers.

It should be known that according to Yun Feidian’s plan, the super crystal bomb installed in the Golden Roc’s core cabin was supposed to be hard to find and dismantle.

However, the bomb’s designer still laid so many traps. One could assume that it was the work habit and obsessive-compulsive disorder of a perfectionist.

“The crystal bomb will be detonated via remote control and timer simultaneously.

“If no signal is received, it will detonate automatically one hour later.

“Wait a minute. No, to be more precise, there’s a third detonating method. If someone tries to dismantle it and blocks the external signal, it will detonate immediately.

“Besides, temperature sensing, air pressure sensing, monitoring rune arrays, nanowires that are wrapped around the core of the explosion… all kinds of the most sophisticated sensing units are available. It’s almost impossible for anyone to crack the detonating system and dismantle the bomb’s core.”
