Chapter 106 The United Plan of the Lighthouse Nation
The moment the global announcement was made, the whole world fell silent.
All the viewers watching the live stream, regardless of their nationality, stared in disbelief at the giant beast's corpse slowly sinking into the abyss on the screen, their minds blank.
died?
That prehistoric behemoth, which seemed to have stepped out of mythology and brought endless oppression and fear to the world, just like that... died?
Killed in one shot?
"My God... what did I just see? What kind of weapon is that?!"
"One shot... just one shot! It went straight through the eye and into the brain! So... so precise!"
"Dragon Kingdom... just how many trump cards do they still have up their sleeve?!"
After a brief period of silence, the global internet exploded!
Especially in the live streams from China, countless "Holy crap!" and "Awesome!" flooded in, almost paralyzing the servers.
"Zihan's wife is awesome! That shot was so cool!"
"Hahaha! Let me show you what a Chinese sniper looks like!"
"I hereby declare that from today onwards, Zhao Zihan is my goddess! Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
Meanwhile, within the Dragon Kingdom, countless people along rivers, lakes, and seas suddenly sensed something amiss.
A young man swimming at the beach was surprised to find that he could easily hold his breath underwater for more than five minutes, and that he was swimming more than twice as fast as before.
An old man who was fishing accidentally fell into the river. He thought he was going to die, but he found that he did not feel any panic in the water. Instead, he felt comfortable and at ease.
The seemingly insignificant reward of "Water Ability Enhancement (Beginner)" is subtly and gradually changing the physical condition of 1.4 billion people in China.
This means that citizens of the Dragon Kingdom will possess a natural advantage over those of other countries in future water-related activities. The drowning accident rate will be reduced to an unprecedented low.
……
Dragon Kingdom National Operations War Center.
"We won! We won! Hahahaha!"
Major General Li Guodong slapped his thigh excitedly, as thrilled as a child.
General Lin Zhan, beaming, nodded repeatedly: "Excellent! Excellent! Wang Yi's control of the situation and Zhao Zihan's sniping are perfectly coordinated! This is our Dragon Team!"
He turned to look at Su Yuan, his eyes filled with admiration: "Little Su, that combination of moves you executed was brilliant!"
Su Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.
His gaze fell on the system panel.
[Dragon Kingdom's National Fortune Points: 15000]
I just spent 8000 points to buy a heavy artillery, and in the blink of an eye, I got 5000 points from the first kill reward. I only lost 3000 points, but I got rid of a major threat. This deal was a huge win.
More importantly, through this battle, Wang Yi successfully found his new role, and Zhao Zihan also proved her indispensable value to the team. The confidence and cohesion of the entire team were greatly enhanced.
However, just as the entire Dragon Kingdom was immersed in joy, a cold undercurrent was quietly surging in another part of the deep sea.
……
The beacon nation, the command center for national destiny.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
The blond president slumped in his chair, his face ashen, the expensive cigar in his hand now lying on the floor.
Looking at the nonchalant demeanor of the Chinese players on the screen, and then at his own players trembling in the base, too afraid to even leave the house, a wave of immense shame and despair overwhelmed him.
It's the Dragon Kingdom again!
Another SSS-level rating!
Another crushing defeat!
From the moment they entered the arena of national destiny, their beacon nation, the former world hegemon, has been trampled underfoot and wantonly trampled by the dragon nation time and time again.
Their pride in technology, military, and economy appears so laughable and so vulnerable on the stage of national destiny competition.
"General... what... what should we do?" an aide asked in a trembling voice.
General Davis's face was ashen, and his eyes were bloodshot.
His series of failures had brought him to the brink of being purged.
If he doesn't come up with a solution, he will face trial by a military court.
"What do we do?" Davis abruptly stood up, a morbid madness flashing in his eyes. "We, the Beacon, can't win alone; we have to take extreme measures!"
He walked to a separate screen in the command center, which displayed a separate communication channel.
"I need to find the joint secretary!" he shouted at the screen, enunciating each word clearly.
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the screen, a hoarse, electronically processed voice came through: "General, are you sure you want to drag us into this at this time?"
"This is no longer just a matter for the United States alone. You're not blind to how many times China has succeeded! Last time, their intervention in reality also failed. If this continues..."
"Not just the lighthouse, none of you will escape the reckoning!"
There was silence on the other end of the screen, only faint, sparse sounds, as if they were discussing something.
After a long silence, he spoke again.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to launch Project Seawolf."
"Are you sure? Project Sea Wolf is extremely risky. Once it starts, there's no turning back. Those soldiers will no longer be human..."
"I don't care!" Davis roared madly, "I just want victory! I just want to bring down the Dragon Kingdom! Even if it means using the dirtiest and most despicable methods!"
"...Then so be it, General."
The call was disconnected.
Davis turned around, facing all the astonished gazes in the command center, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Just you wait, you Chinese. You think you've got this in the bag? Soon, I'll show you what true fear is!"
The deep sea, in an unnamed trench.
The Joint Center's deep-sea base is less of a base and more of a crude steel cage.
Athletes from more than a dozen countries were crammed into this small space, their faces filled with fear and despair.
Just then, the base's internal broadcast system suddenly came on.
"Attention all soldiers, supreme command issued. You will now be injected with the Sea Wolf Gene Agent to prepare for the harsh deep-sea environment."
As soon as he finished speaking, several staff members wearing white protective suits walked in carrying metal briefcases.
The box was opened, and inside were neatly arranged a dozen syringes filled with dark green liquid.
"What is this?" a burly black man asked warily.
"Obey orders." The staff member's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
A young white player couldn't help but take a step back: "No... I don't want to play this! This thing doesn't look right!"
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The white athlete who was stepping back was shot between the eyebrows and fell straight down.
The one who fired the shot was the captain of the United States, a man with eyes as cold as ice.
"Either inject me, or die," he said coldly.
No one dared to utter a sound.
Under the threat of death, they could only line up, extend their arms, and let the cold needle pierce their veins.
The moment the dark green liquid was injected into the body, an indescribable, excruciating pain instantly spread throughout everyone's body!
"ah--!"
Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the cramped base.
Their skin began to keratinize rapidly, growing fine, metallic-looking black scales.
Webbed membranes have grown between their fingers and toes.
On both sides of their necks, flesh was torn open, and fish-like gills grew out.
Their eyes transformed into vertical pupils emitting a ghostly green light, filled with beastly savagery and bloodlust.
In less than a minute, these dozen or so people had completely lost their human form and turned into a group of half-human, half-fish monsters.
Their rationality is being rapidly devoured by primal bestiality.
"Very good." The captain of the Lighthouse Nation nodded in satisfaction. He himself had also undergone the mutation, though he appeared more stable than the others. "Now, our mission is to find the Dragon Nation's base and, with our new claws and teeth, tear that tin can to shreds!"
"Use strong biological acids to corrode their shells! Let them be crushed alive by the seawater!"
"roar!"
A pack of sea wolves let out inhuman roars as they rammed through the base's airlock and plunged into the dark depths of the sea like arrows released from a bow.
They moved with incredible speed, leaving trails of afterimages in the water, silently stealthily making their way towards the Dragon Kingdom base location that Su Yuan had already pinpointed.
However, what they didn't know was that in the Dragon Kingdom's combat center, Su Yuan was watching with great interest the dozen or so non-human signals that were moving at high speed on the sonar detection map.
"Oh? You can't sit still anymore? Starting to play around with biochemical modifications?"
A cold smile curled at the corner of Su Yuan's lips.
He didn't immediately remind Wang Yi and the others; that would be too pointless.
He stretched out his finger and gently drew a circle around the Dragon Kingdom base on the virtual map.
"Since you like being wild beasts, I'll prepare an electric cage for you."
[Ding! 1000 National Fortune Points consumed. 10 'High-Voltage Electromagnetic Induction Traps' have been deployed in the designated area.]
"Enjoy yourselves, sea wolves."
