Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: The Tremor of the Underground Ruins

TL: Etude

Zhang Tiansheng took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued speaking to the person on the other end of the phone.

“Yes. The current decision is to launch missiles equipped with nuclear warheads in conjunction with other countries to attack.”

The voice on the other end of the phone responded.

This plan had already been approved in global meetings of various countries.

They were now just waiting for the right time to launch!

“Alright. Let’s hope we can intercept and eliminate these guys on the moon.” Zhang Tiansheng nodded slightly.

Boom!

At that moment, the ground beneath Zhang Tiansheng’s feet began to tremble slightly.

What’s going on!?

Feeling the tremor, Zhang Tiansheng’s eyes widened.

“Something’s happened, I’ll call you back later.”

Sensing the tremor, Zhang Tiansheng quickly hung up the phone and looked toward the area behind him.

He sensed that this tremor was coming from deep underground!

Could it be…

“No way…”

His expression turned grim. After pocketing his phone, he immediately dashed toward the entrance of the underground ruins.

“Mr. Zhang! There’s an earthquake…”

At this moment, the members of the research team inside had already noticed the tremor and were about to inform Zhang Tiansheng, who was at the entrance, when he rushed in.

“Head to the underground ruins immediately and check it out!”

Without hesitation, Zhang Tiansheng entered the underground ruins.

As he dashed inside, he grabbed a silver piece of metal.

In an instant, the silver metal turned into a liquid, covering his entire body and forming a silver battle armor!

Boom!

The turbine propulsion function at the back of the armor accelerated Zhang Tiansheng’s speed dramatically, propelling him rapidly toward the lower levels of the underground ruins!

The underground passage was initially very long, but with his swift sprint, he quickly reached a vast area filled with numerous Behemoth statues!

Boom! Boom!

Standing in this spacious area, he could clearly feel the intense tremors from the ground around him!

“How could this be… Why is there suddenly such a strong tremor!?”

Zhang Tiansheng looked around, his eyes wide with astonishment.

“Mr. Zhang! Since just now, these underground ruins have been shaking, and the tremors are getting stronger!”

At this moment, the other members of the research team stationed here approached Zhang Tiansheng as he rushed in.

“When did this start!?” Zhang Tiansheng couldn’t help but ask.

From when he first felt the tremor, it had likely been a short while since it began.

“About half an hour ago, I felt a slight tremor in the ground here, very faint. But just now, the tremor started to intensify!”

A man took a deep breath, calmed himself, and spoke seriously.

His scalp was tingling with anxiety.

What’s going on? Why did it suddenly start shaking here!

This tremor didn’t feel like a normal earthquake; it was as if something underground had suddenly activated!

“Half an hour ago, just as I went above.” Zhang Tiansheng’s expression turned extremely serious.

What was the cause of this sudden tremor?

Just as Zhang Tiansheng was about to observe the surroundings more closely, a massive beast statue suddenly fell due to the increasingly intense tremors!

Boom!

The statue crashed to the ground, creating a thunderous noise.

Not good!

Seeing this, Zhang Tiansheng’s pupils constricted. He instinctively drew his battle blade, readying himself for combat.

However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the statue had shattered into several pieces upon impact.

It wasn’t the sudden revival of the beast statue he had imagined!

“Is it really just a statue?”

Zhang Tiansheng breathed a sigh of relief. As he walked closer, he could see that the broken pieces of the statue were clearly made of rock, with no traces of flesh or blood.

How could this be!?

He was stunned.

He had always believed that these beast statues were slumbering mutant creatures, appearing as statues but actually alive.

But now, it seemed they were merely ordinary statues.

Moreover, the tremors were gradually becoming weaker.

“Huh? It seems the tremors are weakening.”

“They’ve stopped! The tremors have stopped!”

The surrounding research team members also noticed this and relaxed.

The intensifying tremors had suddenly ceased!

“There are still faint tremors.”

Zhang Tiansheng’s perception was sharper than the others’. Though the tremors had weakened, they had not completely stopped and remained in a very faint state.

“What’s going on here?” He frowned as he looked at the shattered beast statue.

“Mr. Zhang, these should be ordinary statues…”

The others glanced at the beast statues. The broken pieces indeed seemed entirely made of rock, contradicting their previous assumptions.

“Let’s check ahead!” Zhang Tiansheng took a deep breath to calm himself and ran forward.

His speed was incredible, and in no time, he reached the five dragon statues in the distance.

Upon close examination, these dragon statues also showed no signs of anything unusual.

“Could it be because a large number of ETs are about to reach the moon?” Zhang Tiansheng vaguely recalled the decrypted phrase: “When the flames of war reignite, it will be the day of return.”

“Could it be that when a large number of ETs arrive, these statues will come to life? Or do they need the appearance of those intelligent beings from the Cosmic Federation?” His mind was filled with questions.

As he carefully sensed again, the tremors were still present, though they had become low-frequency vibrations.

And these tremors continued.

“I should report this to headquarters first. If the Five-Headed Dragon really revives, it would be a huge problem.”
