100: Chapter 99: Using Nuclear Bombs? Evolution? The Collapse of Japan

Dragon Country,

East Sea Defense Line, Command Center.

"What? Japan wants to use nuclear weapons?"

General Zhankuang's expression changed instantly as he looked at the intelligence on the screen.

"Yes, General." The intelligence officer nodded. "According to satellite monitoring, the Japan Self-Defense Forces are deploying nuclear bombs on the outskirts of Taixian City, and they are expected to be launched in half an hour."

"Those lunatics..."

General Zhankuang rubbed his temples.

Using nuclear weapons on their own soil—this was practically a suicide mission.

"General, should we warn them?"

"Warn them about what?" General Zhankuang shook his head. "If they want to court death, what does it have to do with us?"

"But... if the radiation from the nuclear blast spreads to our side..."

"Then strengthen our monitoring." General Zhankuang took a deep breath and said, "Also, notify the East Sea Fleet to enter a state of first-degree combat readiness. If any Mutated Beasts are found crossing the sea, kill them immediately."

"Yes!"

Just then,

Luo Yu, who had just returned to Dragon Country, walked into the command center.

"General."

"Luo Yu, you've come at the right time." General Zhankuang turned around and said with a heavy tone, "Japan is about to use nuclear weapons."

"What?"

Luo Yu showed a look of disbelief and said in surprise, "Using nuclear weapons on their own territory? That's way too extreme, isn't it?"

"What do you think?"

"They can bomb however they like." Luo Yu shrugged. "However... while the nuclear blast might have an effect, next... it might stimulate those Mutated Beasts to evolve even faster."

"I was thinking the same thing."

General Zhankuang sighed. "That's why I've put the East Sea Fleet on combat readiness. If any Mutated Beasts cross the sea, they are to be killed instantly."

"Do you need me to step in?"

"Not for now," General Zhankuang said with a smile. "You've just finished your work abroad; take a couple of days to rest first."

"Alright."

Luo Yu didn't insist.

He was indeed a bit tired after being abroad these past few days, so a rest was exactly what he needed.

"By the way, where's Godzilla?"

"Basking in the sun outside."

General Zhankuang smiled,

And walked to the window to look out.

On the open ground outside the base, Godzilla had shrunk to thirty centimeters and was lying on the ground, its dorsal fins shimmering with a faint blue light in the sunlight.

A circle of soldiers surrounded it, carefully feeding it food.

"Godzilla is now the base's mascot," General Zhankuang lamented.

"Yeah."

Luo Yu walked to the window, looking at Godzilla outside, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Just then.

Rumble!

A massive explosion sounded from the distance.

"What's happening?"

General Zhankuang turned to look at the large screen.

On the screen, twenty huge mushroom clouds rose from the outskirts of Taixian City in Japan.

"Japan's twenty nuclear bombs have been launched," reported the intelligence officer.

"What's the yield of each one?"

"Five hundred thousand tons."

"Five hundred thousand tons..."

General Zhankuang narrowed his eyes.

This yield was enough to destroy everything within a ten-kilometer radius. The combined power of twenty such bombs was absolutely terrifying.

"What about the Mutated Beasts?"

"We are compiling the data."

A few seconds later,

Satellite images were transmitted back.

In the center of the nuclear blast, the figures of five SSS+ Mutated Beasts were faintly visible.

They... were still alive.

"This..."

Everyone was stunned.

Twenty nuclear bombs with a yield of five hundred thousand tons each had actually failed to kill those five Mutated Beasts?

"General, the energy fluctuations of the Mutated Beasts are skyrocketing!" The intelligence officer's voice trembled slightly. "They... they are actually like Godzilla, frantically absorbing the nuclear radiation!"

"No way?"

General Zhankuang's face changed drastically.

The next second.

In the satellite images,

The sizes of the five Mutated Beasts began to swell.

Two hundred meters... two hundred and fifty meters... three hundred meters!

"They've evolved!"

The intelligence officer shouted with a hint of uncertainty.

"From five SSS+ Mutated Beasts, they have evolved directly; they are now equivalent to fifth-stage late-phase Abyssal Giant Beasts."

"Damn it..."

General Zhankuang clenched his fists.

Japan had shot themselves in the foot.

The nuclear bombs hadn't just failed to kill the Mutated Beasts; they had made them stronger.

This also proved from another angle that the evolution speed of radiation-Mutated Beasts was too fast and their adaptability too strong; nuclear weapons had become a catalyst.

"Luo Yu..."

General Zhankuang turned to look at Luo Yu.

"I know."

Luo Yu stared at the screen, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"If those Mutated Beasts cross the sea to Dragon Country, Godzilla will take action."

"Good."

General Zhankuang breathed a sigh of relief.

With Godzilla here, he didn't fear those Mutated Beasts.

But...

As for Japan, they were likely truly finished.

Indeed,

They were doomed.

Five fifth-stage late-phase Mutated Beasts—how terrifying was that?

Without Godzilla, and with nuclear weapons proving ineffective, even Dragon Country would find it extremely difficult and passive to deal with them.

...

Japan, Tokyo, Prime Minister's Official Residence.

At this moment,

The meeting room was deathly silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the footage on the large screen—five Mutated Beasts, their sizes having surged to three hundred meters, were treading over the ruins after the nuclear blast, sprinting toward Tokyo.

"How can this be..."

The Prime Minister slumped in his chair, looking as if all his strength had been drained.

Twenty nuclear bombs with a yield of five hundred thousand tons each hadn't just failed to kill those monsters; they had made them stronger.

What kind of twisted logic was this?

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister..."

The Minister of Defense stood up and said in a raspy voice, "We... we still have thirty nuclear bombs. Should we..."

"Enough!"

The Prime Minister looked up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "Didn't you see? Nuclear bombs are completely useless against them! They only make them stronger!"

"Then... then what should we do?"

"How should I know!"

The Prime Minister slammed the table and stood up, cursing loudly, "You useless lot! Usually, you each beat your chests and say you can defend the country, but now? You can't even deal with a few beasts!"

The meeting room was silent.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

After a long while,

The Minister of Foreign Affairs spoke up.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we... can try contacting Dragon Country again."

"Contact Dragon Country?" The Prime Minister shook his head in disappointment. "Do you think they will help us?"

"At least... at least let's try." The Minister of Foreign Affairs gritted his teeth. "Right now, besides Dragon Country, no one can save us."

"Sigh!!"

The Prime Minister let out a sigh.

He knew the Minister of Foreign Affairs was right.

In the entire world, the only one who could deal with those Mutated Beasts was Godzilla.

"Then..."

Just as the Prime Minister was about to speak,

The door to the meeting room was pushed open again.

It was that same young official, his face even paler than before.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Those five Mutated Beasts... they've split up!"

"What?"

"They've split into five directions, heading toward the five major cities of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area!"

"Damn it..."

The Prime Minister clenched his fists.

These Mutated Beasts hadn't just become stronger; they had also learned tactics.

Attacking in separate groups—

They intended to wipe out the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Area in one fell swoop.

"Immediately activate the national evacuation plan."

The Prime Minister made his final decision.

"Abandon Tokyo?"

Everyone was stunned.

"What else can we do if we don't abandon it?" The Prime Minister shrugged helplessly. "Are we supposed to stay behind and wait for death? Notify all civilians to evacuate the Tokyo Metropolitan Area immediately and head to Kyushu for refuge."

"Yes..."
