Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Evolving Limbs!

TL: Etude

“Self-destruct device…!?”

The government personnel were at a loss at this moment.

They didn’t know much about these relics of civilization.

Hearing Zhao Chengkong’s words, they were quite surprised.

“If these relics of civilization suffer a powerful enough impact, it’s possible the self-destruct device could be triggered.

“Once the self-destruct device is activated, a terrifying explosion will ensue, likely causing collapse over an area spanning several miles!” Zhao Chengkong continued in a grave tone.

The ground within a radius of several miles would collapse!?

Hearing his words, everyone’s breathing became heavy.

“That won’t do…”

The government personnel held their heads, feeling a bit of a headache.

How were they supposed to deal with these two enormous Tyrannosaurus Rexes!?

“Shooting them with bullets could kill them directly, right!?”

Another person spoke up immediately.

If they set up guns at the upper exit aimed at these mutated Tyrannosaurus Rexes, they could pull the trigger and shoot them as soon as they woke up and charged upwards!

Shoot them until they were full of holes!

“It might work, but it might not.” Zhao Chengkong said with a bitter smile.

“Captain Zhao, you mean…” Hearing his words, they were a bit confused.

“The skin of mutated creatures might change as well. Ordinary bullets might not work on them.

“Otherwise, why do you think we use knives instead of guns?”

As Zhao Chengkong spoke, he glanced at the long knife in his hand.

This long knife was confiscated from those extraterrestrials.

The blade of this knife was extremely sharp, truly capable of cutting through iron!

The nation had once analyzed the material of these blades, hoping to mass-produce such blades.

However, they found that this metal didn’t exist on Earth!

It was simply impossible to manufacture!

Therefore, each battle knife was incredibly precious.

“This knife…”

“These extraterrestrial creatures brought them from other planets, and they are sharp enough to cut through iron.” Zhao Chengkong said calmly.

Everyone would eventually learn this information, so there was no need to keep it a secret.

Hiss!

Some government personnel who hadn’t heard this before couldn’t help but gasp when they heard his words.

Previously, they had wondered why these people from the extraterrestrial group didn’t use guns but instead used these cold weapons!

So, that was the reason!

“Now we can only wait. Once our headquarters finishes dealing with the situation there, they can dispatch people to help us here.

“Even if these creatures wake up, we can handle them.” Zhao Chengkong continued.

“Okay.” The government personnel exchanged glances and nodded.

“As for the relics of civilization…”

Their gazes turned toward the inner area, speaking curiously.

“We can’t go in there. I’m afraid it might cause these two mutated creatures to wake up prematurely.”

Zhao Chengkong shook his head.

“For this period, we must lock down the surrounding area and not let any ordinary people get close.

“Try to relocate the nearby residents as much as possible.”

“We’ll do our best.” The government personnel smiled wryly at this point.

Not only did they have to seal off the area, but they also had to properly arrange for the relocation of nearby civilians. It was indeed challenging.

After all, many people had lived in this area for a long time. Getting them to leave wouldn’t be easy.

“You all should go up first. Our physical conditions are quite special; we aren’t very afraid of the cold.” Zhao Chengkong spoke to the others.

“Alright.”

Soon, the government personnel and some of the researchers from the Longyin Research Center, who hadn’t been injected with the virus, went up first.

It was very cold here, and if ordinary people stayed for too long, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

While coming down was easy, going back up was difficult. They walked slowly, stopping frequently, taking a long time to get back to the surface, and were exhausted and out of breath.

“Xiao Ming, during this period, make sure to maintain good communication with the police. The Sky Eye system must thoroughly investigate the movements of those people.And the missing ET.” Zhao Chengkong, who was still at the entrance of the relic, spoke seriously to a young man.

“Got it!” The young man nodded.

…

Time quickly passed into the night.

Splish splash—

At this moment in the Hualong Pond, a lot of water began to ripple.

However, at this time, no one could see it.

Congratulations to the host for reaching level 20

Randomly selecting evolution direction…

“It hurts so much!”

Lin Hao, who was in the Hualong Pond, suddenly opened his eyes.

Why use “opened his eyes”?

Because fish originally don’t have eyelids, but now, he had them!

Moreover, he vaguely felt waves of pain coming from his body!

What was going on!?

He instinctively turned to look at his body and could clearly see lumps of flesh appearing on it!

And these lumps of flesh were still growing!

Seeing this, Lin Hao was completely shocked.

“What is this!?”

During previous evolutions, this had never happened before!

A quick glance was enough to scare him.

“Wait, do I have a neck!?”

From an anatomical perspective, fish are considered to have no neck!

So seeing the back of their own body was extremely difficult.

But now, he felt like he had developed a cervical spine and could turn to look behind him!

Feeling this, Lin Hao was even more shocked.

“It hurts, it hurts.”

He could clearly feel the lumps of flesh on his body growing slowly, causing waves of pain.

However, this pain didn’t last long and soon turned into a dull ache.

“It seems like… limbs are growing!?”

After observing for a while, Lin Hao finally understood.

These lumps of flesh were actually growing into limbs!

“Let’s check the system panel first!”

He took a deep breath, not hesitating at all, and directly checked the system panel.

“Single-Horned Fire Carp Newt!?”

“Am I evolving towards the newt family!?”

Seeing this, Lin Hao was a bit surprised.

This was an evolutionary path he had never considered!

“Wait, I think I heard a system prompt just now, saying it randomly chose the evolution direction!?”

There was an icon on the system panel that looked like an email, allowing him to view previous system notifications.

He clicked it with his mind, and a pop-up window appeared.
