Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 356

Chapter 356: City Falls

TL: Etude

Sitting in the car, Luo Zhendong’s expression had become incredibly serious.

He had been in a meeting when he received the news.

Judging by the information he received, the explosions sounded like missile detonations!

But it was impossible for a missile to be fired at Dragon Mountain without anyone knowing!

He now had a headache. During the meeting, he had already learned of some troublesome matters. He hadn’t expected something to suddenly happen in Dragon Mountain as well.

At that moment, Luo Zhendong noticed his phone vibrating in his pocket.

Hmm?

Feeling the vibration, he frowned slightly and took out his phone, pausing in surprise.

It was Luo Xue?

“Luo Xue? How are things on your end…” As Luo Zhendong spoke, he quickly heard Luo Xue’s voice on the other end of the line.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

“Alright, I understand.” He took a deep breath to calm himself.

Soon, several cars stopped at the foot of Dragon Mountain.

Members of the HXLZ team turned on their flashlights, shining them ahead.

“Coach Luo, the plants and animals on Dragon Mountain have mutant to an extreme degree. It won’t be easy for us to go up…”

One man, responsible for monitoring the situation in Dragon Mountain, spoke while looking ahead.

For some time, the plants in Dragon Mountain had been continuously changing, becoming increasingly bizarre.

The trees had grown enormously thick and tall, some flowers and grasses taller than a person.

Additionally, numerous mutant creatures were hiding within Dragon Mountain!

He had previously researched that the nearby mutant creatures seemed to be gathering towards Dragon Mountain.

“Has Dragon Mountain really become like this… It’s like another world.”

“How did these plants mutate to such an extent?”

“……”

The other HXLZ members were also stunned after getting out of the car and looking at Dragon Mountain.

Compared to the vegetation on nearby peaks, the plants on Dragon Mountain seemed magnified by two or three times!

Just looking at it was overwhelming.

Moreover, the vegetation was so dense that it would be challenging to ascend.

“No need to go up.”

As they were contemplating how to proceed, Luo Zhendong’s voice suddenly came through.

“Coach Luo…”

The others turned to look at Luo Zhendong, slightly taken aback.

With such a significant event occurring in Dragon Mountain, not investigating it thoroughly could spell trouble if something went wrong.

“Someone has taken care of it for us.” As he spoke, Luo Zhendong started walking forward. “Let’s go.”

He didn’t climb the mountain but moved towards a specific area ahead.

The others followed closely.

Soon, they discovered a figure lying on the ground in the area ahead.

This person was wearing battle armor!

Moreover, the armor was silver!

“Type 1 Battle Suit!” One of them exclaimed in astonishment.

“Take him away. This person is a member of the EL organization,” Luo Zhendong said calmly.

“An EL organization member!?” The others quickly recovered from their shock and exclaimed.

Luo Zhendong gazed up towards Dragon Mountain, his curiosity intensifying.

Could it be that those civilian experts were still hiding in Dragon Mountain?

…

“I don’t have healing skills; I can’t help you. Whether you survive or not is up to you,” Lin Hao said to the weak War Eagle lying on the ground.

After consuming the crystal core fragments, War Eagle’s wounds had started to clot.

He wouldn’t die in the short term.

But the injuries were severe; survival was still uncertain.

However, with Lin Hao’s divine ability, Auspicious Guardian, the luck of nearby creatures would improve, increasing War Eagle’s chances of survival.

“You all eat these. Whoever evolves the strongest first gets the Type 1 Battle Suit.”

Lin Hao took out some level 7 crystal cores, crushed them with force, and scattered the fragments in front of him.

The mutant creatures immediately swarmed forward, devouring the fragments.

Their evolution levels were still low, and the energy contained in even small amounts of crystal cores required time to be absorbed.

“There’s so much Type 1 armor. Could those ETs be like me, able to repeatedly challenge and help the EL organization acquire so many battle suits?”

Lin Hao muttered to himself while browsing the web on his tablet.

The Type 1 Battle Suit was hard to obtain. It was improbable for the EL organization to acquire so many on their own.

“No, I need to evolve even stronger,” Lin Hao said seriously.

Upon entering the Global Alliance Forum, he noticed the latest news dominated the discussion boards.

[Northern America invaded by a level 7 mutant creature]

[Godzilla! This is definitely Godzilla!]

[Breaking news! A city has already been destroyed]

…

“Godzilla!? Such a thing can’t exist.” Lin Hao’s eyes filled with disbelief as he read the posts.

Clicking on the posts, he saw photos and videos!

A city reduced to ruins!

There was a colossal mutant creature visible in the images.

Though the images were unclear, the silhouette suggested an upright creature, resembling Godzilla from the movies.

One video showed the creature firing a powerful electric beam, destroying numerous buildings!

Fighter jets attacked it, but they couldn’t penetrate its defenses and were destroyed by its energy beams!

“This guy looks incredibly strong…”

Watching the videos, Lin Hao’s expression became grave.

Even among level 7 creatures, this mutant being was top-tier!

Further browsing revealed some cities had been taken over by EL organization members!

“These guys have gotten this brazen?” Lin Hao squinted his eyes.

But it made sense. The battle suits and miniature missiles they possessed posed significant threats to most countries. Moreover, with mutant creatures rampant, smaller nations lacked the capability to resist.

“Let’s see if I can push open the door below.”

Shutting off his tablet, Lin Hao turned and dove to the bottom of the Hualong Pond.

This ancient ruin still held secrets waiting to be uncovered!
