Chapter 235 Evolution
The edge of Las Vegas.
The black fungal carpet has spread to the outskirts of the city.
Several abandoned cars on the roadside were covered with fungal carpet.
In just a few seconds, the steel car body was corroded with countless holes, eventually turning into a pool of black water that merged into the fungal carpet.
"Run! That thing is coming!"
A piercing scream erupted from the crowd.
Those who remained in the city finally saw the hundred-meter-high mountain of flesh.
It has no legs and moves forward entirely by the twitching of muscles at its base.
With each step taken, the ground trembled violently.
The mountain of flesh was covered with countless eyes that emitted a maddening red light.
One glance is enough to instantly strip away all reason.
A man holding a television stopped in his tracks and stared blankly at the mountain of flesh.
His eyes bulged out, and drool was dripping from his mouth.
The next second, he threw away the television and walked towards the mountain of flesh like a walking corpse, with a strange smile on his face.
This kind of spiritual pollution spread wildly among the crowd as the mountain of flesh approached.
More and more people stopped running and began moving towards the mountain of flesh.
"Help! God!"
A woman was running wildly down the street, clutching her child.
A tentacle more than ten meters long descended from the sky, grabbed a bus, and slammed it hard against the hotel building next to it.
The glass curtain wall shattered.
The bus exploded.
The firelight illuminated the woman's desperate face.
The tentacles waved in the air, and the mouthparts at the ends opened, sucking in forcefully.
The crowds, cars, and even the streetlights on the street were all sucked into that bottomless black hole.
The sound of chewing.
The sound of bones cracking.
Creepy.
The buildings along the way appear fragile and vulnerable in the face of its massive size.
Luxury casinos were razed to the ground.
The neon sign was trampled and smashed.
The entire city of Las Vegas is being gradually wiped out by this darkness.
……
Raccoon City.
Lin Fan sat on the sofa, watching the real-time footage transmitted back by the Dark Night Intelligence System on his tablet.
I couldn't help but sigh:
"How miserable."
Lin Jianguo stood to the side, his brows furrowed in a frown:
"Just what level is this monster? At this rate, it wouldn't be able to create enough food for the entire Earth."
"I'm not sure."
Lin Fan recalled Da Wu's words,
"That idiot Big Crow only knows that it's a chaotic and disordered product. Now it seems it can grow indefinitely, which is indeed a problem."
"So, do you think there's a possibility that the US might ultimately use nuclear weapons?"
"I estimate it's highly likely."
Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "After all, I really can't think of anything else they could use besides this method."
However, just as the father and son were talking, the mountain of flesh that was raging in the video suddenly stopped moving.
All of its tentacles retracted and clung tightly to its body surface.
All those scarlet eyes closed.
The once enormous mountain of flesh began to shrink and solidify rapidly.
The black slime solidified on its surface, forming a hard black carapace.
"Depend on."
Lin Fan sat bolt upright. "Is this thing starting to evolve again?"
Meanwhile, at the Hexagon command center.
The alarm blared throughout the hall.
"Report! The energy level at the site has exceeded the limit! The detector has burned out!" the radar operator shouted in alarm.
The bureau chief, his face ashen, grabbed the encrypted phone: "Your Excellency, we can't wait! Authorize a nuclear strike immediately! Now!"
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.
"Authorization granted. God bless the US."
The military representative took a deep breath, entered the password, and pressed the red launch button.
"Minuteman-3 intercontinental ballistic missile has been launched. It is expected to arrive over the target in five minutes."
The cold, mechanical synthesized voice echoed in the command center.
Everyone stared intently at the screen, awaiting the final judgment.
Five minutes feels like an eternity to the top brass of the United States.
On the screen, the red dot representing an intercontinental ballistic missile is rapidly approaching the skies over Las Vegas.
"Target locked."
"Prepare to detonate."
A blinding white light illuminated the screen.
All the surveillance footage instantly turned into static.
The command center was deathly silent.
No one cheered, no one spoke.
Everyone knew that with this nuclear bomb, Las Vegas would be completely wiped off the map. Countless civilian lives would be lost, along with the city itself, reduced to ashes.
"Did it work?"
Looking at the screens that had completely gone black, the bureau chief couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Satellite imagery is being restored."
The operator's hands are rapidly typing on the keyboard.
A dozen seconds later, the screen lit up again.
A huge crater has appeared on the original site of Las Vegas.
The surrounding sand and soil were burned into crystals.
The towering mushroom cloud was still rolling.
"No signs of life."
The operator glanced at the radar screen and continued, "The heat source reaction has disappeared. The energy index has reached zero."
A heavy breathing sound came from the command center.
Several lawmakers slumped in their chairs, wiping the cold sweat from their brows.
"It's finally over." The military representative breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as they were preparing to celebrate their survival.
A faint red dot suddenly flashed on the radar screen.
Immediately afterwards, the red dot rapidly grew larger, its color turning a deep purplish hue.
"Warning! High-energy reaction has occurred again!" The operator's voice was distorted with extreme fear.
"What did you say?" The director rushed to the screen.
As seen in the picture.
At the center of the mushroom cloud, a black beam of light shot into the sky.
The beam of light tore through the thick radiation clouds.
At the bottom of the deep pit, a black cocoon is slowly cracking open.
The terrifying energy of the nuclear bomb not only failed to destroy the monster, but instead became a catalyst for its evolution.
A huge arm covered in black scales emerged from the cocoon.
He grabbed the rock at the edge of the pit.
"It absorbed nuclear energy..."
The military representative's legs trembled as he backed away, saying, "We've created a real monster..."
……
In Raccoon City, Lin Fan, who had just had his surveillance footage restored, was also shocked by what he saw.
Although he had long realized that nuclear bombs might not be able to destroy the monster, he never expected that it would allow the monster to evolve to this extent.
And it has also evolved arms.
This... isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
"The US has completely messed up this time!"
The night owl, who had remained silent, watched the monster about to emerge from its cocoon:
"Young Master Li, is there anything we need to prepare? What if that monster comes this way..."
"It won't come over."
Lin Fan said with absolute certainty,
"It has just completed its evolution and needs time to consolidate."
Moreover, the US will definitely fight tooth and nail to stop it.
Just as he was speaking, the monster emerged completely from the nuclear crater, revealing a completely new form.
It was no longer a bloated mountain of flesh, but a humanoid creature that was hundreds of meters tall.
Its body was covered in black scales, and it had four huge tentacles growing from its back.
Its face has no features, only a deep black hole...
