Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: The Game

TL: Etude

Just now, Zhao Chengkong suddenly sprang up, as if he were flying.

He directly hit the ceiling.

It wasn’t due to the force of his legs, but the power from his hips, causing his body to leap up!

“Your body has now completely accepted the virus.

This virus has already made significant foundational changes to your physical body. Your neural reaction time, the strength in your limbs, and your jumping ability have all been enhanced.

And these enhancements vary from person to person. For some, the improvements are quite noticeable, and you are one of them.

However, to continue getting stronger, you need to absorb energy from the air, an energy originating from the depths of the universe. We call it source energy. Absorbing source energy stimulates the cells, continuing the enhancement process.” Li Ye spoke earnestly as he looked at Zhao Chengkong.

“Good!” Listening to Li Ye’s words, excitement flashed in Zhao Chengkong’s eyes, and his hands clenched into fists.

Getting stronger!

He wanted to become even more powerful!

“Training methods can’t be directly imparted. You need to go to the headquarters for training and registration. Also, there are quite a few Type 3 Battle Suit now; you should be able to get one.” Li Ye continued to speak.

“Understood.” Zhao Chengkong nodded slightly, aware of this procedure.

“Captain, we also want to inject the virus…”

At this moment, several men, after a bit of hesitation, gritted their teeth and spoke up.

“No!” Before Zhao Chengkong could respond, Li Ye turned around and sternly replied.

“Zhao Chengkong was exposed to the virus earlier than you. Even now, he only has a fifty percent success rate. If it were you, the success rate would drop to twenty percent.” He stared at them seriously as he spoke.

Twenty percent success rate!?

Hearing Li Ye’s words, the men’s expressions changed slightly.

“That’s a death sentence. It’s not time for that yet. Just wait a bit longer.” Li Ye continued.

“Yes, there’s no need to rush. A twenty percent success rate is too low. And I’m an orphan. If I die, it doesn’t matter. But you’re different.” Zhao Chengkong grinned.

He had been an orphan, growing up in a welfare institution with no parents and no attachments. Even if he died, there would be no one in the world to remember him.

“Captain…”

Listening to Zhao Chengkong, the men felt a bit uncomfortable.

“Enough, no more nonsense. I need to go to headquarters soon. The situation here in Longyin City isn’t resolved yet. I’ll be back.”

Thinking about the mutant creatures in the civilization ruins, the members of the EL organization, and even the appearing ETs, his expression grew serious.

There was much to deal with, and he was still too weak to help much.

As Zhao Chengkong regained his clarity, Li Ye returned to the police station to interrogate the two EL organization members.

The severely injured bald man had also been resuscitated.

Because he had also accepted the virus, his physical fitness was different from that of an ordinary person. If he had been a normal person, he would have already died!

Meanwhile, Luo Zhendong and a few others remained below the civilization ruins.

“This container might explode. But I can’t be one hundred percent certain.”

At this moment, within the civilization ruins, an elderly man with white hair stared at a massive container that had developed cracks and spoke seriously.

Surrounding him were many members of the Longyin Research Center, their eyes scanning the area, filled with a sense of awe.

Even though they had reviewed numerous documents about civilization ruins after joining the Longyin Research Center, seeing the ruins firsthand was still incredibly shocking.

“Yes. If the container explodes, the mutant creature inside is likely to escape. If only this one mutant creature gets out, it wouldn’t be so concerning. The real trouble is whether this creature would attack other containers, releasing all the other mutant creatures.” Luo Zhendong spoke earnestly.

“You participated in the excavation of civilization ruins abroad and experienced an outbreak of mutant creatures there. You should have some understanding of this.” He looked at the elderly man, continuing to speak.

“Yes. In those foreign sites, there were indeed cases where a mutant creature escaped from its glass container and destroyed the other containers, releasing all the mutant creatures. The likelihood is very high.” The elderly man spoke seriously, his expression becoming grave.

The head of the Longyin Research Center, Zhang Tiansheng!

He had been dispatched for a mission abroad and had only returned to Longyin City today.

As soon as he got back, he rushed straight here.

“Then I’ll treat this situation as if it’s a one hundred percent certainty.” Luo Zhendong spoke seriously.

They couldn’t afford to be careless at all.

With so many mutant creatures in these containers, if they all broke free, it would be a huge problem for all of Longyin City!

A colossal crisis!

“I heard that many ETs appeared around Dragon Mountain that night?” Zhang Tiansheng glanced around as he spoke.

His hair was white, and he had a long white beard. His face was lined with wrinkles, but his eyes were clear and bright, not at all clouded with age.

His vitality made him seem more like a young man than an old one!

“Yes. It was very strange this time. I don’t know why so many ETs appeared there.”

Luo Zhendong nodded.

He still found it very peculiar.

That night, so many ETs had appeared!

“They’re likely looking for this mutant ruins site.”

“They want to awaken the mutant creatures inside.”

Zhang Tiansheng looked around as he spoke calmly.

“But this ruins site isn’t a truly large one. If my guess is correct, Longyin City might be hiding a second civilization ruins site.” He continued.

“A second civilization ruins site!?” Hearing Zhang Tiansheng’s words, Luo Zhendong couldn’t help but gasp.

The discovery of this ruins site was already shocking. If another ruins site were to be found…

“It’s just my speculation. The actions of these ETs are very strange. They don’t attack our human cities directly. Instead, they search everywhere for civilization ruins, then awaken the mutant creatures.” Zhang Tiansheng said coldly.

Over the years, the International Alliance had been studying the behavior of these ETs. Initially, it seemed baffling, but gradually, they started to get a sense of something.

“Do they want those powerful mutant creatures to destroy our planet?” Luo Zhendong continued to speak.

“No. Perhaps this is just a game to them.”

“A game?”
