88: Confidentiality Agreement

From afar, the Security Officer watched the river with a shocked expression, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

Such a massive bird of prey, flying over the river to hunt, was suddenly dragged into the water by something.

And judging by the blood-red appearance of the river water, it was likely doomed.

If such a large bird of prey met this fate, what about humans?

He couldn't handle this situation alone; he had to get Chief Huang and the others back.

“Hello, Xiao Li?”

On the other end of the phone, a group of Security Officers were at the foot of a mountain, with a pile of beast carcasses already lying on the ground in front of them.

The mountain forest ahead was also in disarray, with numerous shell craters.

A middle-aged Security Officer pulled out his phone and said.

“Chief Huang, it’s like this…”

Xiao Li came back to his senses, glanced at the birds of prey that seemed to have been scared away by the scene, and quickly explained the situation.

“Xiao Li, we can’t leave here. You need to take responsibility and ensure the safety of the people.”

“You can ignore the creatures in the water for now, but you must cordon off the river and prohibit all civilians from approaching.”

...From afar, everyone watched the river with astonished expressions, a temporary silence falling over them.

“What about that bird of prey?”

Someone asked in the silence.

Due to distance and obstructions, they couldn't see the giant bird of prey being dragged into the water.

“Why haven’t we seen it? Could it be that strange fish in the water?!”

Someone said.

“That shouldn’t be the case, right? This giant bird of prey is so big; even if it’s the Water Monster in the river, it couldn't have directly hunted it down without any resistance.”

While the group was discussing, Xiao Li walked over and knocked on the door.

“Please all come out. I know many of you are Streamers. I hope you will consciously…”

While Xiao Li was handling the aftermath, Su Yuan also began his new journey of devouring and evolution.

The biological resources of this river were still quite abundant.

Su Yuan still followed his old rule, first devouring invasive species.

At Su Yuan’s current size, it was already extremely exaggerated in this river.

His current body length was thirty-three meters!

And although the river here was relatively large, its width was only about twenty meters.

When Su Yuan’s tentacles spread out, their natural length could sweep a radius of nearly twenty-nine meters!

Su Yuan directly opened his terrifying abyssal maw, and his eight tentacles could be said to draw a line in the sand within a certain range, quickly grabbing fish, shrimp, and crabs, sending them into his mouth.

You devoured a Tilapia and gained 1 evolution point.

You devoured a Suckerfish and gained 0.8 evolution points.

...Su Yuan’s mouth seemed to become a meat grinder, his eight tentacles frantically sending the surrounding creatures into his mouth.

The System’s notification sound rang frantically, and a hint of crimson gradually appeared in this part of the river water.

Soon, the creatures within Su Yuan’s attack range were completely devoured by Su Yuan; besides Tilapia and Suckerfish, native fish like Crucian Carp and Grass Carp were also not spared by Su Yuan.

The other surrounding creatures, from the moment Su Yuan began hunting, had all fled in panic.

“That’s it? Let me see the current evolution points.”

Su Yuan glanced at the river, which had become much quieter in an instant.

evolution points: 14028 / 14000 (Spiritual energy absorption increasing) (Evolvable)

“That’s enough, then let’s start evolving.”

Su Yuan looked at the noisy crowd in the distance, observing the lone Security Officer, lost in thought.

Su Yuan took a look, then turned and returned to the small hole he came through, passing through it to return to the Underground Dark River.

He found a corner, activated his Camouflage Ability, and began to evolve.

As the fourteen thousand evolution points disappeared, a great power descended, enveloping his entire body.

Su Yuan’s entire body, flesh, and cells were undergoing a transformation under this immense power… As time passed, the red sun hung high directly above the sky, radiating scorching red light without restraint.

Inside the Public Security Office, all eyewitnesses were gathered, each undergoing phone checks, deleting all videos and photos, and signing non-disclosure agreements.

“Brother Niu, do we really have to delete everything? This could be a video that goes viral across the entire internet!”

A burly man whispered to Brother Niu.

“Otherwise, what? Do you still want to secretly keep it?”

Brother Niu glared at him, exasperated. Did he really think he could secretly keep it and hide it from the Security Officers?

Most people cooperated silently, but there were also a few stubborn Streamers who tried to secretly keep some data, but they were all found out on the spot.

Don't be fooled by the single Security Officer handling things on site; there were also people from the network department in the distance, constantly scrutinizing the data of everyone present.

Whether it was cloud storage, personal accounts, or even mobile camera storage space, nothing escaped their eyes.

“I hope you can cooperate with my work.”

The young Security Officer looked at everyone, then announced the punishment for the few Streamers who had intentionally tried to conceal information, causing everyone's expressions to tighten.

“See that? Be smart, don’t cause me trouble!”

Brother Niu said in a low voice.

“Yes! Brother Niu is brilliant!”

The burly men nodded repeatedly, looking at Brother Niu with admiration.

After being busy for most of the day, everyone had deleted all videos and photos, signed non-disclosure agreements, and were also asked to leave Laoyu Village as soon as possible.

“This is ridiculous. After being busy for most of the day, coming all this way, we ended up like this.”

“It’s good to know these things. Now it seems that some of the things that appeared online before weren’t entirely false!”

“Brother Niu, where are we going next?”

“Let me think. According to current speculation, Dayang Lake and Dayang Mountain have been sealed off until now, so they must be the core of everything, perhaps the origin of it all.”

“However, Dayang Lake and Dayang Mountain are currently closed and inaccessible, but there is a small town that stands between the two, and that is Yangjiang Town.”

Brother Niu led the burly men to a secluded spot before speaking in a low voice.

He had a strong intuition that Dayang Mountain and Dayang Lake might be the cause of everything.

“Brother Niu, do you also think the military conducted secret experiments in Dayang Mountain and Dayang Lake?”

A burly man said with approval.

“Experiments, my foot! That tiger that shoots wind blades, and that Thunder Dragon Fish that emits light beams, do you think modern technology could create them?”

Brother Niu rolled his eyes, knowing that this subordinate must have watched too many movies.

“Then it must be that a dimensional rift appeared in Dayang Mountain and Dayang Lake, leading to the invasion of mysterious energy, which caused all of this!”

Another burly man said with certainty.

“Dimensional rift? Then why didn’t it deliver a Garen and an Arthas right to my doorstep?!”

Brother Niu said with a black expression.

“Brother Niu, I know! It must be a temporal disruption, an ancient invasion, bringing ancient energy!”

Another burly man volunteered his opinion.

“All of you, scram! Ancient invasion? Why don’t I get a dinosaur instead?!”

Brother Niu held his forehead; having these dim-witted companions was completely dragging down his Streamer career!
