Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: The Whereabouts of 002

TL: Etude

Just looking at it made one feel incredulous.

“But this should be a tree lizard from Japan. It’s still a quadruped, quite different from Godzilla…”

The young man continued to watch the news.

This incident caused quite a stir on local Japanese forums.

Just looking at it made one feel unbelievable.

As he continued to read, some commenters revealed that after the appearance of this giant lizard, Japan seemed to have launched an attack, causing a significant commotion.

But what happened in the end was unknown.

As he looked through other posts, many were discussing ‘animal mutations’ on the forum.

He continued reading these posts, growing more and more astonished.

“There are so many animal mutations happening in Japan.”

“And with the plant mutations on Dragon Mountain, what is happening to this world?”

The more he read about the related news, the more shocked he felt.

…

“Now, the support forces from various places have arrived.”

“The entire Longyin City is on high alert. If the EL organization makes any unusual moves, we will detect them immediately.”

At this moment, in the meeting room of the Longyin Research Center, Luo Zhendong spoke to Zhang Tiansheng.

“Mm. Have we found the second civilization relic?” Zhang Tiansheng nodded slightly and then spoke again.

“Not yet.” Luo Zhendong also smiled wryly.

Finding this civilization relic was indeed not an easy task.

There were no special tools to detect it.

The previous civilization relics had either appeared suddenly or were revealed due to the actions of the ETs.

“Don’t worry, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” Zhang Tiansheng patted him on the shoulder and said.

There were many issues that Longyin City had to face, and as one of the persons in charge, Luo Zhendong was under considerable pressure.

“Mm. By the way, Elder Zhang, we received new information that a giant mutant tree lizard nearly thirty meters long appeared in Japan. The situation got out of control at the time, and many people recorded it.

Now, both domestic and international discussions are focused on this, and there are increasing incidents of mutant creatures appearing in our country.” Luo Zhendong continued.

As he spoke, he felt a headache coming on.

The increasing number of mutant creature incidents was becoming hard to conceal.

If this continued, there could be chaos both domestically and internationally.

“There is no way around it. According to the latest information, the concentration of the virus in the air has started to increase.” Zhang Tiansheng said solemnly.

His expression had also become extremely severe.

“Increased!? Could it be that the situation on Dragon Mountain is also due to this influence!?” Hearing Zhang Tiansheng’s words, Luo Zhendong was also shocked.

Since the ETs began to appear, the air had been filled with a special virus, but the concentration of this virus was very low, affecting only those with extremely sensitive bodies.

But now, with the global increase in the virus concentration in the air, it was hard to imagine what changes might occur.

“No, the situation on Dragon Mountain might be due to the influence caused by the previous ET landings.

Although the virus concentration in the air has increased, the immediate impact should not be significant. It will mainly affect specific sensitive groups.

So, in the near future, many people may end up in hospitals. We need to closely monitor this.” Zhang Tiansheng shook his head.

“Mm. But what exactly is causing this?” Luo Zhendong now felt a headache coming on.

This was a major issue!

The global increase in virus concentration could lead to unimaginable consequences!

“It’s unclear for now. It might be related to the frequent appearances of ETs and the civilization relics recently, so we need to keep a close watch.” Zhang Tiansheng said seriously.

“Alright. By the way, Elder Zhang, today our investigation team received news that the mutant sea loaches in the coastal area have all disappeared.”

When Luo Zhendong mentioned this, his face showed a strange expression.

Previously, they had investigated and found many traces of mutant sea loaches in the coastal area.

To prevent any accidents, Longyin City had implemented a maritime ban.

But today, when using machines to photograph the underwater conditions, they found that the previously captured large area of mutant loaches seemed to have vanished!

“All disappeared? Not a single one left?” Hearing this, Zhang Tiansheng was slightly taken aback.

He was aware of the issue with the mutant sea loaches, especially since there were so many of these creatures in the sea, posing a significant challenge.

These sea creatures were highly aggressive and could enter organisms through wounds, making them extremely dangerous.

“Yes. We couldn’t find any trace of them. It’s as if they suddenly vanished.” Luo Zhendong continued, equally curious and baffled, not knowing how they had disappeared.

“This is rather strange.

Could it be the work of that mutant creature you discovered earlier?

Didn’t Zhao Chengkong mention before that a mutant creature emitting golden flames would eat these mutant sea loaches?” Zhang Tiansheng quickly connected this to the previous information he had heard.

“That… seems unlikely. The river over there is quite far from the coast. If it had gone there, someone would have noticed.” Luo Zhendong thought for a moment, furrowing his brows even more.

“We’ll go check it out later. By the way, where is Luo Xue?” Zhang Tiansheng glanced around curiously.

“She said she was checking some information and would be here shortly. Alright, let’s wait a bit.”

…

At this moment, in an inner area, Luo Xue was sitting at a computer, browsing the web.

This was a website jointly established globally about mutant creatures, accessible only to warriors in various countries who had integrated the virus and learned cultivation methods.

Luo Xue had obtained a member account after learning the cultivation method at the headquarters, allowing her to log in and browse the information on this site.

The website contained many data and information uploaded by special organizations from different countries.

“002, it hasn’t appeared again since then?”

After continuing her search, Luo Xue frowned.

The latest information on 002 remained from the last sighting in the high seas.

There had been no new sightings since.

“Hmm?”

“Has the ranking been updated?”

While browsing, Luo Xue noticed that the global ranking of the danger levels of mutant creatures seemed to have a new order!
