Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: The Mutant Tyrannosaurus is Coming Out!

TL: Etude

“Are they chasing after me?”

Lin Hao turned and looked back into the distance, clearly seeing Zhao Chengkong and his men rushing toward him at an incredible speed. If his guess was correct, they were indeed chasing his silhouette.

“Too slow.”

Lin Hao smiled inwardly. In an instant, with a single thought, his entire body transformed into a white light and vanished from the spot.

The next teleportation point: near the Longyin Chemical Plant!

…

“This is the furthest downstream area. The river branches and forks are very small over there; it shouldn’t be able to escape far!”

Zhao Chengkong’s physical strength was evidently far superior to that of ordinary people. Even while carrying a long knife, his speed was remarkable. When he reached the area where Lin Hao had just been, he saw no trace of any giant creature.

“Gone!?”

After scanning the surroundings with his eyes, he showed a look of surprise. The water here was quite clear, and he could almost see the bottom, but there was no sign of the giant creature.

“Could it be hiding!?” A young man couldn’t help but speak out.

“Impossible. That creature is almost eight meters long. With such a massive body, it couldn’t possibly hide completely!” Zhao Chengkong retorted.

Thinking about the enormous body of the monster they had just encountered made his scalp tingle. Who would have thought that such a mutant creature was actually lurking in the Longyin Reservoir?

As he walked forward, his eyes kept scanning the surrounding water, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find that huge silhouette. It was as if it had suddenly disappeared!

“If only we had the battle armor suit.”

Zhao Chengkong couldn’t help but speak again. He had dared to go into the river just now because he trusted his judgment and the protective gear he wore. Plus, his body had been affected by the virus, so those mutant sea loaches couldn’t easily bite through his skin and burrow into him like they could with ordinary people.

But now, in this area, he dared not go down. The mutant creature was too strong; if he recklessly entered the water and encountered it, he would be finished. His combat power in the water would be greatly reduced, and he wouldn’t be able to struggle for long before being devoured by the monster.

“Captain, shouldn’t we avoid going down there?” A young man voiced his concern, genuinely worried that their captain might suddenly jump into the water again.

“Yeah, we won’t.” Zhao Chengkong nodded. “If my guess is right, the mutant sea loaches in the reservoir have likely been eaten by this mutant creature. For now, the threat of the mutant sea loaches in the reservoir is gone. But given the size of this mutant creature, we need to record this information and report it to headquarters.”

“Yes!” The others nodded in agreement and began recording the scenes they had just witnessed using special phones.

“Where did it go…” Zhao Chengkong muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the water’s surface.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

At that moment, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.

“This is Zhao Chengkong.” He picked up his phone and instinctively responded.

“Captain, something’s wrong! A huge chunk of ice from the frozen Tyrannosaurus suddenly fell off!” The moment he answered the phone, a frantic voice came from the other end.

“What!?” Hearing the man’s words, Zhao Chengkong’s pupils contracted slightly.

“…”

“I understand.” After listening to the explanation from the other end, Zhao Chengkong took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

“There’s trouble. Let’s go!” Zhao Chengkong took one last deep look at the water behind him before leaving without hesitation.

…

“Hey, there are no mutant sea loaches here.”

At the same time, Lin Hao, who had teleported to the river outside the Longyin Chemical Plant, carefully searched the area and found no traces of mutant sea loaches.

“It seems they’re only in those specific rivers. Did those people release these creatures into those rivers?” Lin Hao pondered the possibility.

“But normal people couldn’t catch such mutant creatures. They’d get bitten just by touching them, let alone capturing them.”

Talking to himself, Lin Hao moved forward. After devouring all the mutant crawfish in this river last time, there seemed to be no other creatures left. Continuing upstream, he spotted a small tilapia but wasn’t interested in swallowing it.

“Damn, teleportation takes at least an hour. To return to Hualong Pond, I need to leave the mapped area of the system to be directly teleported back.”

As he swam upstream, Lin Hao continued to talk to himself. After a while, he noticed two men in black suits, one wearing sunglasses, standing in the distance, smoking.

Huh!?

Why are there people here suddenly?

Are they management from the factory?

Lin Hao was surprised by this scene. He didn’t stop but continued to swim forward, albeit at a slower pace. As he got closer, his keen hearing picked up their conversation.

“Those idiots got caught. What should we do now?” The man with sunglasses sneered and complained.

“So what if they got caught? They already released the mutant sea loaches into various rivers. With their reproduction rate, it won’t be long before the rivers throughout Longyin City are full of them.” The young man next to the man with sunglasses smiled.

Hmm!?

They did this!?

Hearing their conversation, Lin Hao was shocked. His body, camouflaged to blend with the sewage color, remained unnoticed in the area.

“What are they planning? To fill Longyin City with mutant sea loaches… they’re trying to destroy the city!”

This was a crime against humanity!

Thinking of this, Lin Hao’s eyes turned cold.

“True. Now Zhao Chengkong and his men are scrambling.

“When those mutant creatures fully erupt, we’ll seize the opportunity to enter the civilization’s ruins.”

The man with sunglasses spoke with excitement in his voice.
