Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Survival of the Fittest?

TL: Etude

“Finally killed the damned thing!”

Luo Zhendong, with a fierce exertion, yanked his battle knife from its mouth.

Immediately, a gush of blood flowed from the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex’s mouth.

“Whew, whew.”

He was now a bit out of breath.

After all, the fight with the previous mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex had left him severely injured.

“You took down that mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex, Coach Luo!?” Li Ye couldn’t help but speak out.

From their position, they couldn’t see any other mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex in the vicinity.

“It was taken down by another mutant creature,” Luo Zhendong said seriously after a few heavy breaths.

“Mutant creature…”

Hearing his words, everyone’s expressions changed slightly.

“Enough talking. What’s going on with those mutant rats!” Luo Zhendong’s gaze turned towards the distance. Amidst the heavy gunfire suppression, many mutant rats had been killed.

But more were burrowing into the ground!

Once they went underground, they wouldn’t be easy to deal with!

Bang!

At that moment, right beside Luo Zhendong’s foot, the ground suddenly bulged, and a mutant rat, the size of a small pig, burst out from the soil!

“Die!”

Luo Zhendong’s reaction was swift. As the mutant rat emerged, he slashed his battle knife down!

Whoosh!

The slash was so fast that it produced a whistling sound through the air. The rat’s body was cleaved in two!

Blood spattered everywhere.

“Watch out!”

“They’re attacking us!!”

Luo Zhendong shouted as he scanned the surroundings.

Although both mutant Tyrannosaurus Rexes were dead, the battle was far from over!

In fact, it was just beginning!

No sooner had Luo Zhendong spoken than, at that moment, mutant rats began emerging from the ground beneath the soldiers’ feet!

The soldiers instinctively fired their guns at the rats.

But the mutant rats were quick and ignored the bullets, sinking their razor-sharp teeth into the soldiers’ legs!

“Ah!!!”

The intense pain made them scream, and they frantically pressed their guns against the rats’ bodies and fired!

While many mutant rats were killed, many soldiers were also bitten to death by the rats!

“Damn it!”

Li Ye and the others quickly realized the situation, and not daring to relax, they charged forward, continuously swinging their long knives!

As the blades rose and fell, mutant rats were continually cut down!

These mutant rats were not particularly strong, and their physical defense was not as formidable as the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex, but they had the advantage of sheer numbers!

Just looking at the mass of them made one’s scalp tingle!

“Not good!”

“Some are heading that way!”

Zhao Chengkong, on the other side, fired his sniper rifle at the rats emerging from the ground, either shooting them in the head or piercing their brains through their eyes.

But as he continued shooting, Zhao Chengkong noticed that many mutant rats were no longer attacking the soldiers but instead charging toward the front area!

They wanted to break out of the blockade and enter the city!

Zhao Chengkong redirected his aim and fired at them, but his efficiency was too low, and there were too many mutant rats!

It was futile!

He glanced at Luo Zhentian and the others, seeing them also engaged in intense battle!

Large numbers of mutant rats emerged from the ground holes, appearing at the feet of the soldiers and Luo Zhendong’s group.

There were so many of them!

This prevented the distant firepower from targeting the area directly, as it could easily result in friendly fire!

“No way!”

“We must organize an interception immediately!”

“If they break through and get outside, the entire Longyin City will be in crisis!”

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Chengkong charged forward while grabbing his communicator to make a call.

Bzzz—bzzz—

But as he tried to use the communicator, it emitted a low-frequency, ear-piercing noise, and the signal was completely cut off!

What was going on!?

Wait…

Could someone have jammed the signals in this area!?

The thought made Zhao Chengkong’s scalp tingle.

They had been set up!

“Hehehe, this way, all these mutant rats should get out and enter the urban area.”

By the riverside not far away, a middle-aged man in military camouflage and a hat had a sinister smile on his face.

Watching the many mutant rats rushing over from a distance, his eyes were filled with fanaticism.

“Evolution is a global trend! Survival of the fittest, the strong survive, the weak are eliminated, this is the truth, and no one can stop it!” He burst into maniacal laughter.

Given the current situation, no one could stop them!

Splash!

At that moment, a huge splash of water erupted, and a gigantic black shadow instantly loomed over his body!

Who!?

The middle-aged man tensed up at the sight.

The smile on his face froze.

He slowly turned around and saw a massive figure before him.

It was a huge reptilian creature with a massive horn on its head, and its entire body was covered in black scales, like protruding thorns!

What kind of creature was this!?

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened, and just as he was about to react, Lin Hao’s right claw struck swiftly!

Bang!

The man’s body was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing heavily into a distant rock!

With a loud crash, the rock shattered!

His body, covered in blood, slumped to the ground.

“Survival of the fittest, you said it yourself.” Lin Hao sneered inwardly.

He had been hiding in the riverbed and overheard the man’s words.

“This guy must be part of some anti-human organization. I wonder if he’s connected to those people from before. There’s a good chance they are.”

Thinking of the people he had encountered near the Longyin Chemical Plant, Lin Hao felt that this man was somehow connected to them.

It was highly likely they were in cahoots!
