Evolve into a Dragon after Surviving a Nuclear Blast - Chapter 33

“Especially for coastal countries like us, we are often troubled by these mutated beasts. Our situation is unbearable, and we can feel the surging waves in the depths of the ocean…”

Listening to the complaints of the coastal representative below the stage, the Chinese representative explained.

“That’s because of that mysterious substance, which is the spiritual qi that the United States representative has mentioned. Their source seems to be in the depths of the ocean.

“The sea is now a forbidden place for humans. Who knows how terrifying those mutated beasts have evolved to? Not long ago, a mutated sea snake from the sea took the initiative to attack a human city. Until now, I can still vaguely remember the techniques of the giant python in the video.”

At this moment, the representative of the United States added by the side.

“The current situation of the sea is indeed as the Chinese representative said. We have already sent five of our newest armed helicopter squads to the nuclear weapons testing island — Komodo Island.

“However, the five helicopters have long since gone missing. Based on the some of the images sent back, we can see clearly that many terrifying mutated beasts have appeared in the sea.”

This was the first time that there was a meeting about the future of mankind, and it had finally begun.

At this time, Gray, who was far away, did not know about this.

He was still immersed in the thrill of hunting.

“Roar.”

With a soft roar, a nine meter long mutated beast suddenly accelerated…

It was fast, unimaginably fast. In just a few seconds, it had crossed a few hundred meters.

Looking at the constantly changing scenery on both sides, Gray didn’t know how fast the other Level 9 mutated beasts were. But his speed was astonishing.

He clearly had short legs, but he had an incomparable explosive ability and endurance. It almost reached a speed of dozens of meters per second.

What kind of concept was this? The speed of sound was only 340 meters per second. From afar, the average human’s vision could only catch a black shadow flashing past in front of them.

If one were to use an example as a comparison, his speed should be a little faster than the fastest high-speed train on land.

“Roar…”

Suddenly, a low roar sounded, and a hurricane that was neither too big nor too small rolled up on the grass. Before a mutated rhinoceros that was more than two meters tall could react, its entire body had already flown out, turning into a bloody mist in the air.

This mutated rhinoceros was actually smashed into pieces by Gray, who was extremely fast.

“I did this…”

Looking at the scattered rhino’s corpse on the ground, Gray remained silent for a long time. Then, he picked up a piece of its flesh on the ground and began to eat it with relish.

“Ding dong, it has veen detected that the host is devouring the flesh of a Level 3 mutated rhinoceros. Evolution Points + 30…”

Listening to the good news from the system quietly, Gray looked at his attribute panel and remained silent for a long time.

He had already obtained 1,500 evolution points. These were the evolution points he currently had.

These evolution points were obtained from the battles on the island over the past few days. It could be considered quite a lot, but it was still not enough to support him through a complete evolution.

This was because, out of the blue, there was a voice in his body telling him that he needed to strengthen all his abilities to Level 9 before he could evolve his body again.

However, if all his abilities evolved to Level 9, it would require a lot of evolution points. For example, Steel Tail was only Level 6. His Infrared Thermal Sensing Ability was also at Level 6. There were also other abilities…

He needed to evolve all of these abilities to Level 9 to keep up with Gray’s current body level. Only then would he be able to display their true strength.

As for Gray, he had a feeling that only being above Level 9 would be able to come into contact with the reason for the evolution and mutation of living things. It was a brand new world.

“The revolution has yet to succeed. I still need to work harder…”

He smiled in his heart and no longer sighed. Gray also chose to strengthen the Level 6 Steel Tail.

“Ding dong, are you sure you want to use 700 evolution points to upgrade the Steel Tail?”

“Eh, does it really need so many…”

Hearing the string of numbers reported by the system, a hint of doubt flashed across Gray’s face.

Why was it 700 points all of a sudden? At this moment, as if sensing Gray’s doubt, a cold system notification rang out beside Gray’s ear.

“Ding dong. After the host underwent a series of mutations, the amount of energy required to evolve his body has increased by leaps and bounds. The amount of evolution points required for certain powerful abilities has increased by tenfold.”

Nodding his head, Gray did not mind. This reason made sense.

After all, based on his current hunting speed, 70 and 700 would only take a few days. Thinking it this way, Gray felt that it was very reasonable.

If he could strengthen a physical skill with only a few dozen evolution points like before, then wouldn’t Gray be able to fully strengthen it in a short while? And he wouldn’t even need to spend a lot of evolution points.

Even if he had the system, he still had to abide by the law of conservation of matter. The energy provided by the system didn’t come out of from nowhere.

From this, it could be seen that it was still a long way from reaching Level 10.

He had jumped three levels in a row during the previous fortuitous encounter with the pit. Up until now, his control over his body had not reached 100% . If he continued to evolve so quickly, not only would the system not be able to handle it, even he would be panicking.

Some of the ‘unstable foundations’ recorded in the ancient books of his previous life referred to the current situation of his body.

So…

“Yes, I’m very sure. Help me strengthen my Steel Tail.”

The moment his words left his mouth, a strange energy spread from the depths of his heart to his entire body. The energy was extremely violent and was constantly surging. It was extremely vast and cold.

The moment the energy came into contact with the tail…

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of rumbling sounds reverberated from the end of the tail.

At this moment, upon closer inspection, one would definitely notice that Gray’s tail was slowly changing color. It was no longer the healthy black color like before.

Instead, it had truly turned into a hard metallic color, with some additional ineffable textures.

And just as the color of the tail had changed, Gray could clearly feel that his tail had become much heavier, at least several times heavier.

“This is?”

He gently waved the huge tail behind him,

“Rumble…”

Wherever the tail went, a whistling sound could be heard. Accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, a deathly white wave of air swept out.

It was as though the air had been separated by it.

“Could this be…”

As he grew more and more surprised, Gray carefully sized up his current tail.

“It seems to have turned into a metallic color, but it can’t really have turned into steel, right?”

While muttering, Gray looked at his attribute panel…

[ Steel tail (Level 7) : able to act like a magnet, controlling the magnetic field of the current environment. Able to absorb all sorts of metal elements from the earth, thereby continuously improving the defense and hardness of the tail… Until it becomes a real ‘Steel Tail’. ]

“Was it metal element….”
