Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 223

Chapter 223: They Arrived Early!

TL: Etude

At this moment, Luo Xue clearly sensed something, her eyes widening as she immediately spoke up.

“Not a star!?”

The others, upon hearing her words, also reacted.

“Could it be… a spaceship!?” a man exclaimed as he came to a realization.

“A spaceship!?”

The spacecraft those ETs traveled in!?

“It’s not a question of ‘could it be,’ it definitely is.”

Luo Xue now gripped the long knife in her hand tightly, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on that bright ‘star’ in the sky.

“Looking at the ETs’ spaceship, it should be landing near the civilization ruins in the city.

Someone must have sent the coordinates of this location to those ETs.

……”

While keeping her eyes on the sky, Luo Xue used her headset to communicate the current situation to the others.

“The civilization ruins in the city also have an incident!?”

In the government meeting room, the leaders and another commander received Luo Xue’s message.

Their expressions turned grim.

“Immediately arrange for people to check the location, and if it’s favorable, take them down in advance.”

A commander responsible for the city’s area spoke with a stern expression.

In the projected screen behind him, footage captured remotely by drones was being transmitted through the network.

“Understood.” Some government leaders nodded slightly upon hearing his words.

“What about the mutant velociraptor!? Now, ordinary shells don’t have much effect on it anymore.”

A middle-aged man, watching the images on the screen, felt his scalp tingling.

“Velociraptors are supposed to be the size of a turkey; how did this one get so big? It’s even larger than the previously mutant T-Rex!” Another person couldn’t help but speak up.

He had a keen interest in dinosaurs and had studied a lot of information about them.

Logically, a T-Rex should be larger than a velociraptor, but this velociraptor had reached a body length of nearly thirty meters. Its strength and the toughness of its skin far exceeded that of the previously appeared mutant T-Rex.

“That’s not how it works. After a creature merges with the virus, its strength varies according to its level of evolution. You can’t view mutant creatures with a stereotypical perspective.” The commander shook his head.

“For instance, if an ant evolves to a very high degree, it could reach a body length of dozens of meters and become so tough that missiles can’t penetrate it. Conversely, if a lion doesn’t evolve much, it might only grow slightly larger. Do you think, using traditional biology, a lion could just swat this ant to death?” He spread his hands helplessly.

“In other words, the global food chain has completely changed. It’s no longer based on the original food chain but on the degree of evolutionary mutation after a creature acquires the virus.” Another government official instinctively commented.

“Exactly. This includes us humans. Someone who is small and thin might, after merging with the virus and undergoing deep evolution and mutation, become taller and stronger.

However, those who were originally tall and robust but didn’t achieve a high degree of mutation after merging with the virus won’t fare as well.

But these shortcomings can be somewhat compensated through continued training…” As the commander spoke, the projection screen began to shake violently.

“I see. It seems this mutant velociraptor’s degree of evolution and mutation is quite high.

This velociraptor, already one of the smartest among dinosaurs, evolving its body to this extent is truly terrifying.” The man passionate about studying dinosaurs couldn’t help but speak up.

“Prepare for battle.” The commander’s eyes fixed on the projection screen as he spoke in a low voice.

The next moment, a massive blood-red mouth appeared on the screen, and then the screen went black.

It was clear that the mutant velociraptor had discovered the drone and destroyed it!

…

Boom! Boom!

In the area near Dragon Mountain, the mutant velociraptor continued its frenzied attack on its surroundings.

All the drones hovering around were destroyed by it!

After dodging several times, Luo Zhendong had given up attacking!

He had launched several attacks on the mutant velociraptor during its assault, but all he managed to do was cause superficial wounds.

“Damn it! It looks like I need a more advanced battle knife and greater strength to cause real damage.”

With a flash, Luo Zhendong dodged to another area.

Boom!

The mutant velociraptor stomped on the spot he had just been, leaving another deep pit.

His stamina had been significantly depleted; continuing like this would spell his doom!

“I’ll lure it into the mountains. Prepare the missile strike, and if necessary, kill me along with it!” Luo Zhendong gritted his teeth and shouted into his communicator.

“Idiot, come here!” He turned, picked up a rock, and hurled it at the mutant velociraptor’s head!

The rock flew at high speed and struck the velociraptor’s head!

Bang!

The rock shattered upon impact, having little effect on the creature.

Just as Luo Zhendong expected, the mutant velociraptor seemed provoked and charged towards him!

“Roar!” As it charged, it opened its mouth and let out an angry roar.

“Coach Luo!” Li Ye and the others, hearing Luo Zhendong’s words, felt their eyes well up.

The mutant velociraptor couldn’t be dealt with before it woke up.

The reason was that there might be a civilization ruin under the mountain!

If the ruin were severely impacted by explosions, the automatic destruction system of the ruin could trigger a blast that would affect even Longyin City.

Some might think of using poison or anesthesia… but that’s impossible.

Leaving aside whether it would wake the creature immediately, its skin was so thick that bullets couldn’t penetrate it. What kind of needle could inject anything?

Unless special metal used for making battle knives was used, but they didn’t possess that technology!

The only option was to lure the mutant creature deep into the mountains and use specialized missiles to bombard it!

However, the area affected by such powerful missiles would be vast. By leading the creature into the mountains, Luo Zhendong would also be caught in the explosion and die!

“Prepare the missiles!” The commander responsible for the area, his eyes also reddened, gritted his teeth and roared.

There was no other way out of the current situation!

“Wait, what is that!?”
