Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: There’s a Mutant Creature Below!

TL: Etude

“If they told you to eat shit, would you do it?”

Zhao Chengkong glanced at Du Zitong and the others, then let out a cold laugh.

“I…” Du Zitong was taken aback and didn’t dare to retort.

“It’s because they gave a lot…” At this moment, he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

“You’ve now released these mutant sea loaches into the main rivers of Longyin City.”

“Do you know that these creatures can survive even in freshwater?”

“And they reproduce very quickly. In a short time, the entire water system of Longyin City could be overrun by them. Then, the survival of the city’s entire population will be threatened.”

“And it’s all because of you.”

As Zhao Chengkong spoke, his expression turned icy.

This situation was extremely troublesome.

Based on the characteristics of these creatures, they could survive in freshwater rivers. Even more terrifying was their strong reproductive ability and their tendency to devour other mutant creatures in large numbers.

One could foresee that the river’s ecosystem would be completely consumed by these mutant sea loaches.

Eventually, all other riverine species would be gone, replaced by these mutant sea loaches!

Just thinking about it made one’s scalp tingle.

“No… it can’t be that bad…”

Du Zitong and the others felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing Zhao Chengkong’s words.

They had already realized the terror of these creatures the night their two companions died.

But the idea that these creatures could survive in freshwater and reproduce rapidly had never crossed their minds.

If what Zhao Chengkong said was true, then the entire population of Longyin City would be in danger!

“Officer, we really didn’t think it would be like this! If we had known, we would never have done it!” They hurriedly spoke up.

Given the current situation, would their crimes seem even worse?

Thinking this, they grew even more anxious.

“Heh.” Zhao Chengkong and the others let out a cold laugh.

Ignoring Du Zitong and his group, they walked towards the front of the Longyin Reservoir.

Staring at the river, their expressions grew more severe.

“Captain, I’ve heard that the reproduction rate of these mutant sea loaches is incredibly high, especially when food is abundant. Their reproduction rate reaches its peak.” A young man spoke seriously at this moment.

“So, how do we eliminate them now…” Another person couldn’t help but voice out.

Given the size of the Longyin Reservoir, how could they completely eradicate these mutant sea loaches?

There seemed to be no feasible way!

“If there’s absolutely no other way, we’ll have to use special poisons.” Zhao Chengkong was now also feeling a headache.

They needed to study these mutant sea loaches and develop a targeted poison specifically for them, which might be able to kill them.

“However, these creatures are mutants! Ordinary toxins won’t work. We don’t even know if we can develop such a targeted poison!”

“But it seems that people from headquarters are coming soon. Who knows if they have a solution…” Another man couldn’t help but voice his thoughts.

“That’s unlikely. Even people from headquarters can’t handle so many creatures in the river.”

Reluctantly, they had to acknowledge the truth. Even if the experts from headquarters arrived, how could they possibly deal with such a vast number of mutant sea loaches in the river?

There seemed to be no way!

Gurgle, gurgle!

As they wrestled with this problem, strange sounds began emanating from not far away.

What’s that noise?

With keen hearing, Zhao Chengkong turned towards the area upstream and saw bubbles rising from the river surface.

“What is that…”

Upon closer inspection, he noticed a faint light under the water.

“Go check it out!”

Startled, Zhao Chengkong dashed forward with incredible speed.

As he approached, he could see clearly that it looked as though a fire was burning underwater!

The bubbles rising from the surrounding river were due to the increased water temperature.

It was as if the water was boiling!

Splash!

In that instant, a large number of mutant sea loaches, seemingly scorched by the hot water, leapt out of the river.

The sight left Zhao Chengkong and the others staring in disbelief.

This was too shocking!

“There’s something under the water!” A man excitedly pointed to the area beneath the water, his voice trembling.

“A mutant creature! There’s a mutant creature!!!” Zhao Chengkong shouted, instinctively gripping his long knife.

Sweat began to form on his forehead.

Who would have thought that besides the mutant sea loaches, there would be another mutant creature?

And the current situation…

“Captain, what should we do now?!”

Upon hearing Zhao Chengkong mention the mutant creature, the others felt their scalps tingle.

Looking closely at the situation underwater, the massive light gradually faded, but a huge shadow could be seen moving in the water.

The figure was enormous. Just seeing this large shadow was utterly breathtaking!

“Wait, it seems to be devouring those mutant sea loaches!”

Zhao Chengkong quickly realized this, his eyes filled with astonishment.

No doubt about it!

This gigantic mutant creature was devouring the mutant sea loaches!

Previously, there had been reports of a mutant creature in the Longyin Reservoir. Videos of it had gone viral, but no one expected to discover the creature’s whereabouts under these circumstances!

…

Devoured mutant sea loaches, gained 350 evolution points.

Devoured…

…

Meanwhile, system notifications continuously announced the acquisition of evolution points.

The surrounding sea loaches were entirely devoured!

“I didn’t expect so many mutant sea loaches here. Many are quite small, likely newly spawned.” Lin Hao spoke to himself internally.

Looking up towards the surface, he could clearly see the HXLZ people standing with battle knives, staring at him! He had noticed them on the shore earlier, but now he didn’t care.

Before, he lacked the strength, but now he wasn’t afraid. He knew that this group of HXLZ people couldn’t fight him underwater without special armor.

Moreover, he had the ability to teleport away.

For now, the most important thing was the evolution points!
