152: Honghua

Su Yuan devoured greedily. There were so many fish, shrimp, and crabs swept in by this wave that Su Yuan hadn't even finished devouring them when many of them woke up and tried to escape.

However, the surroundings were already tightly encircled by Su Yuan's kin, making escape impossible. Some fish, shrimp, and crabs that reacted violently were bitten to death on the spot.

Countless kin had long since considered this place the hunting ground of a great being. Without the great divine decree, these creatures were not allowed to enter or exit.

Su Yuan felt the benefit of this skill for the first time. With a large group of subordinates, nothing else mattered, at least devouring prey became much more convenient.

No wonder many important figures enjoyed developing their influence.

At their single word, their subordinates would complete the task even if it meant running themselves ragged.

Su Yuan also fell in love with this feeling now, though he didn't forget that the most important thing was his own strength.

Great strength, combined with influence, could complement each other.

There were simply too many fish, shrimp, and crabs driven in by his kin; it took Su Yuan some time to devour them all.

After this wave of devouring, Su Yuan discovered that he had gained 100,000 evolution points!

[evolution points: 106898 / 160000] (Devouring psionic energy is increasing)

This was truly astonishing!

Those large fish alone had given Su Yuan a full 50,000 evolution points!

"Dayang Lake truly lives up to its name. Both the number and strength of Mutated Creatures here surpass other waters; even the Yangtze River can't compare!"

Su Yuan praised silently.

Compared to Dayang Lake, the Yangtze River was only larger in volume.

Whether it was the density or strength of Mutated Creatures, it was still a bit inferior to Dayang Lake.

Especially Dayang Lake, which was also affected by the heavy rain, now had a higher psionic energy concentration than before.

At this moment, it was late at night.

"One more wave, then evolve!"

Seeing such an astonishing harvest, Su Yuan directly broke his self-imposed biological clock, cultivating to gain evolution points.

Su Yuan left this place and arrived a few kilometers away. With such a large commotion, the fish and shrimp along the way fled frantically, but they couldn't match the speed of Su Yuan and his kin.

Su Yuan sent all his kin to chase the surrounding Mutated Creatures towards him.

After more than ten minutes, his kin, under his command, collectively herded the Mutated Creatures towards him.

Su Yuan seized the moment and activated his Water Control Technique, forming a huge water vortex that quickly covered an area of hundreds of meters!

The powerful pulling force of the water vortex made it difficult even for some large fish to break free, and they were slowly pulled towards Su Yuan in the center.

The smaller fish, of course, were even more helpless.

With the help of countless kin, Su Yuan easily devoured all the surrounding fish, shrimp, and crabs.

At this moment, the first ray of dawn happened to fall, and at the end of the horizon, a red sun leaped out, scattering the morning glow, dyeing the lake water with a hint of crimson.

Su Yuan looked at the empty lake water around him with lingering desire, then looked at the morning glow on the water surface.

He swam up, emerged from the water, and let the reddish-gold morning glow fall on his body, feeling warm and pleasant.

In the sky, the dark clouds were all gone, and the blue sky was as clear as if it had been washed.

"This is truly nice."

Su Yuan comfortably narrowed his eyes, and after sunbathing, he looked at the system panel.

[evolution points: 165476 / 160000] (Devouring psionic energy is increasing) (Evolvable)

"This wave only yielded 60,000 evolution points. It seems the first wave was due to good luck."

After sunbathing for a while, Su Yuan re-submerged to the bottom of the lake.

"This time, for evolution, I won't need to return to the Underground Dark River."

Su Yuan looked at the countless kin around him, a faint smile on his face.

Especially the God-Devouring Fish and the Two-Winged Dark Python, with their combined strength, no creature in Dayang Lake should be able to overpower them.

Su Yuan also dived to the bottom of the lake with peace of mind, burrowed into the lakebed mud, entered a disguised state, and began to evolve.

A great power descended, covering Su Yuan's body, allowing every cell and every inch of his flesh and blood to be baptized and activated, becoming increasingly powerful.

Su Yuan's body began to evolve and strengthen dramatically in this short period.

At the same time, all of his kin were also distributed around Su Yuan.

In the innermost circle were the Two-Winged Dark Python and the God-Devouring Fish, and moving outward, the strength of the kin decreased in sequence.

But even the weakest kin had a body length of at least three meters, with strange appearances and forming large groups.

With such a force, the surrounding Mutated Creatures were very consciously afraid to approach.

Occasionally, a few large fish over twenty meters long would attack, but they were easily hunted down by the Two-Winged Dark Python and the God-Devouring Fish, and their corpses were devoured clean by the kin.

As for the other ordinary large fish of about ten meters, they didn't even stir a ripple before being devoured by the group of kin.

It wasn't until noon that a giant fish, thirty meters long, attacked, having evolved so much that its original species was unrecognizable.

This was a local overlord, ranking high in the entire Dayang Lake.

Yet, under the attack of the God-Devouring Fish, this giant fish fled in a panic, wounded.

Given the biting force of the God-Devouring Fish, if it bit down, and the giant fish wasn't bitten to death on the spot, its strength was already quite impressive... Jingcheng.

By the time Lin Fei and the others got off the plane, it was already daylight.

The plane landed at a military base, and Lin Fei and the others were led to a room.

Along the way, Lin Fei and the others dared not look around much.

In the room, an old man was already seated.

The old man was wearing a military uniform, appeared to be in his fifties, was robust and energetic, especially his eyes, which, when slightly narrowed, gave off a sense of authority.

Lin Fei noticed that on his shoulder, there was a shining general's star!

He swallowed, he had never even dreamed of seeing such an important figure.

Not just Lin Fei, even Brother Niu and Chen Xu, who were usually jovial, were now serious, their postures unconsciously straightening.

Except for one person, Old Man Zhang.

"Hong Hua, you brat, you've become a general! You've done well!"

Old Man Zhang's words were startling, his voice as hearty and loud as ever.

Lin Fei's mouth twitched, almost wanting to run away, fearing he'd be implicated.

This was a general! Old Man Zhang! Can't you read the room!

"Brother Zhang! Haha, long time no see."

Hong Hua was also a bit surprised, he looked closely at Old Man Zhang, recognized his face, and smiled.

Saying this, he even got up and personally helped Old Man Zhang to a seat.

Old Man Zhang was not polite, he sat down with a thud, crossing his legs, which made Lin Fei and the others gape.

To be so brazen in front of a general, they were incredibly envious.

"Hong Hua, you called us here this time for the situation in Shangqing City, right?"

Although Old Man Zhang was very impolite, he went straight to the point, getting down to business.

"Brother Zhang, the situation in Shangqing City is very serious. The higher-ups are also paying close attention to this matter, personally inquiring about the progress every day."

Hong Hua nodded and said.

"Alright, then I'll give a brief overview."

Old Man Zhang nodded and briefly recounted their group's experiences.

"Brother Zhang? Are you saying that Mutated Creatures also fought against the Infected with you?"

Hong Hua asked in surprise; this was something he didn't know.

No wonder the spread of Parasite was confined to Shangqing City.

Shangqing City was surrounded by water on one side and mountains on the other three.

If Mutated Creatures could understand the danger of Parasite and unite to fight the Infected, it could somewhat explain the spread of the Parasite.

"We are preparing to enter Shangqing City to rescue the civilians there."

"But just the day before yesterday, a place in our country suddenly experienced a Parasite outbreak. Not only domestically, but at the same time, major countries worldwide also experienced Parasite outbreaks. Coincidentally, these major countries were all those that wanted to fully investigate whether there was a Mysterious Organization within their borders."

Hong Hua said.

"Was it the Mysterious Organization?"

Lin Fei couldn't help but say; these were his enemies.

"According to the evidence currently available, it's highly likely to be them."

Hong Hua glanced at him, seemingly recognizing Lin Fei, and said.

"Actually, even before this, we had already cooperated with the Eagle Sauce Country to develop an antidote. And today, major countries worldwide have joined in, but so far, no hope of success has been seen."

"The higher-ups can't wait any longer. Given the obvious signs of infection and the extremely short onset time, the higher-ups have decided to enter the Infected area as soon as possible to rescue all surviving civilians!"

"So, I heard the National Security Bureau (Guo'an) say that someone came out, and I called you all over."

Hong Hua slowly said.

"If that's the case, I suggest not entering the wilderness. The powerful Mutated Creatures in the wilderness haven't changed at all due to the Parasite outbreak; they still hunt other creatures, including humans. They can even directly eat the Infected without showing any signs of infection themselves."

Old Man Zhang said.

"I already know about this. We have already captured several of them alive and given them to the professors to develop an antidote, but it doesn't seem to be making any progress."

Hong Hua said...
