Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Heard There Are Dragons in Your Country?

TL: Etude

The coverage had extended to all cities except the area near Longyin City.

The ocean coverage had also reached a much broader extent.

Although Xingyao City was not yet on the map, the distance to teleport to the farthest point and then fly to Xingyao City wouldn’t take long.

“Let’s wait until it gets dark.”

Even with his current level of strength, Lin Hao didn’t fear being discovered. However, attracting too much attention in broad daylight wasn’t ideal.

“Let’s eat these first. Keep evolving; time is running out.”

Regaining his focus, Lin Hao retrieved some hidden level 7 crystal cores from the bottom of the pool. He crushed them with his claws and threw them to War Eagle and other creatures to devour.

They quickly rushed towards the crystal cores.

However, due to Lin Hao’s presence, they didn’t dare to fight over them.

“With less than one hundred eighty days, they should evolve significantly.”

Lin Hao squinted as he watched them.

He intended to create a formidable giant beast army so that when the intelligent creatures from the Cosmic Federation arrived, they would witness the might of Earth’s creatures!

…

“Previously, the Global Alliance warned you not to discharge wastewater indiscriminately. But you took advantage of the mutant creature situation to discharge it randomly, didn’t you?”

Meanwhile, near the wastewater discharge plant in the island nation, Luo Zhendong and his team walked forward.

The situation in the island nation was critical. If not handled properly, the continuous mutation of these creatures could threaten not only the island nation but the entire world!

Luo Zhendong, dispatched for this urgent mission, looked grim.

The Global Alliance had previously warned against discharging wastewater. Who would have thought they would secretly do it anyway?

“We thought the wastewater could kill the mutant creatures…”

A nervous official from the special organization in the island nation spoke up.

They hadn’t anticipated the current situation.

Continuing to hide the problem would not only lead to the island nation’s destruction by these mutant creatures but also affect the entire world!

“Knows minor courtesy but lacks great righteousness, fixated on minor details but lacks great virtue.” Luo Zhendong shook his head, sighing. [1]

He said nothing further and proceeded with his team towards the designated area.

Soon, they arrived at the wastewater discharge plant.

Around them lay many corpses of mutant creatures. After days of exposure to the sun, these mutant salmon had dried into fish jerky.

A foul stench permeated the air.

“They even grew limbs!?”

Some team members felt nauseous at the sight of the mutant salmon corpses.

Usually, mutant creatures grew larger and developed teeth, but these salmon had grown limbs, making them particularly disgusting.

Looking further ahead, they saw even more mutant creature corpses.

In the distance, large exposed pipes, damaged from the inside out, indicated where the mutant salmon had emerged.

“Currently, a mutant marine iguana has entered the plant and rushed into the underground radiation reactor. Since then, there has been no response.”

The special organization official explained as they walked forward.

“Our people tried to search inside, but without exception, they all went missing.”

As he said this, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The dispatched team was elite, yet no one had expected that all these elite forces would disappear below.

Now, they could only hope for the support from the Global Alliance, comprised of warriors from around the world.

Standing at the entrance of the wastewater plant’s main building, besides Luo Zhendong and his team, there were many other personnel from abroad.

“Luo, long time no see.”

A blond, blue-eyed man, noticing Luo Zhendong approaching, ceased his conversation with someone nearby and walked over to him.

“Blaze?”

Luo Zhendong was slightly taken aback. Turning around, he saw Blaze’s familiar figure.

“I didn’t expect you to come too.” He sighed with emotion.

A few years ago, he had participated in a Global Alliance mission, hunting mutant creatures alongside others from around the world, including Blaze.

“Yes, we were responsible for dealing with this mutant creature before. Who would have thought it survived even under such a weapon’s attack?” Blaze helplessly spread his hands.

Previously, this mutant marine iguana had not only survived a nuclear weapon blast but had also escaped into the deep sea.

It had only resurfaced now.

And according to the videos taken by the island nation’s warriors, its wounds had completely healed!

Moreover, it had grown even larger, looking incredible in the video footage.

“It’s rare to encounter a creature capable of absorbing radiation energy. No one knew it was one of them.” Luo Zhendong sighed.

If this radiation-absorbing creature truly absorbed the energy from the reactor, no one could predict what it might become.

“Sorry, it’s our fault for not handling it properly.” Hino Shuji, standing aside, spoke with guilt.

Not everyone on their side had agreed to discharge the wastewater.

But what could his lone dissent achieve?

“Forget it, what’s done is done. Let’s focus on solving it.” Luo Zhendong waved his hand and looked towards the wastewater plant’s entrance.

The walls around the entrance were heavily damaged from the mutant marine iguana’s previous attack.

Looking inside, one could clearly see a specially constructed passage leading underground.

This passage had been built to reach the reactor area.

It was wide and long.

“By the way, Luo, I heard a fire dragon appeared in your country?”

Blaze suddenly recalled something and asked Luo Zhendong with great interest.

“Hmm.

Luo Zhendong listened to him and thought of explaining that it was a flood dragon, not a true dragon. However, he figured foreigners wouldn’t have a clear distinction between dragons and flood dragons anyway.

He couldn’t be bothered to explain.

“I heard this dragon is your national guardian, helping you fight mutant creatures?” Blaze continued, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Not only he, but others also looked at Luo Zhendong with interest.

[1] It’s attributed to a quote from a famous scholar in ancient China, Sima Guang, critiquing Japan in “Zizhi Tongjian” to be superficially polite at the expense of anything deeper or virtuous. I actually find it to be quite profound.
