30: Chapter 29 The Shock to the Top Leadership of the Dragon Kingdom and a Global Sensation

Beijing, Supreme Command Headquarters.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was relaxed yet carried a hint of gravity.

The long table was filled with high-ranking generals in military uniforms, each wearing at least two gold stars on their shoulder boards.

The Supreme Commander in the main seat flipped through the report in his hand, remaining silent for a full three minutes.

"Less than a month."

He finally spoke, his voice low: "The eight major nuclear radiation restricted zones, all cleared."

"Yes, Chief."

The General Zhan Kuang, who had been specially summoned for the meeting, stood up and opened the projector: "This is the latest holographic map."

On the huge holographic map, the eight red areas originally marked with skull icons had now all turned green, representing safety.

Next, eight comparison charts were displayed in sequence.

Baijiang Nuclear Power Plant—radiation value dropped from 5,000 to 500.

Donghai Ghost Island—radiation value dropped from 50,000 to 1,000.

Northwest Death Valley—radiation value dropped from 100,000 to 500.

Southern Frontier Rotten Swamp—radiation value dropped from 80,000 to 600.

...

"Within Dragon Country, there are no more nuclear radiation restricted zones." The General Zhan Kuang's voice trembled slightly: "This is the first time in thirty years that we have achieved a truly nuclear-radiation-free zone."

Clap, clap, clap!

Applause erupted in the meeting room.

But the applause stopped quickly.

Because... the Supreme Commander was not clapping; he just continued flipping through the report.

"Major Luo Yu and his beast pet Godzilla have consumed a total of 530,000 tons of nuclear waste in this month." He looked up, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "Do you know what this concept means?"

Silence!

No one answered.

"The total amount of nuclear waste accumulated by Dragon Country over these years is over 800,000 tons; now, only 270,000 tons remain." The Supreme Commander tapped the table with a grave expression: "In other words, our 'food supply' is running out."

The meeting room fell into a dead silence.

A general couldn't help but speak: "Chief, this... is a good thing, right? The less nuclear waste, the better."

"Yes, it is a good thing."

The Supreme Commander also nodded: "But the problem is, Godzilla is still in its growth phase, and it is still far from the next evolution."

Speaking of this, the Supreme Commander paused for a moment before adding: "According to Major Luo Yu's estimation, as Godzilla grows, it will need at least another 600,000 tons of nuclear waste before it might reach the threshold for evolution."

"600,000 tons..."

Everyone on site showed a helpless expression.

As nuclear waste became more and more abundant, they in Dragon Country had deliberately reduced it, and now, it wasn't enough! If they had known, they should have been more reckless and let there be more nuclear waste; this was truly a happy problem.

"We only have 270,000 tons left, and the gap is 330,000 tons."

The Supreme Commander continued: "With the strength of our Dragon Country, even if we try hard to manufacture nuclear waste, it would take two and a half years to save up enough."

"Two and a half years..."

Another general frowned: "Then let Major Luo Yu rest for two and a half years?"

"No."

The General Zhan Kuang hurriedly shook his head: "Godzilla's growth speed is too fast. If it stagnates for two and a half years, it will likely affect its evolutionary potential."

"And..."

The General Zhan Kuang took a deep breath and called up another chart: "The Abyssal rifts, which have been silent for three years, are increasing in activity frequency. In the last three months, the number of Abyssal Giant Beasts appearing globally has increased by 30% compared to the same period last year. So, we really need Godzilla to get stronger as soon as possible. Should we feed Godzilla some nuclear reserves?"

"No, the strategic reserves are reserved nuclear weapon raw materials and mech energy rods to deal with a full-scale Abyssal war. If we feed it, what if the Abyssal Giant Beasts attack the city? Will our mechs go to war burning coal?"

The meeting room fell into silence again.

"Is there any way?"

The Supreme Commander rubbed his temples.

"Yes."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up; he was the Minister of Strategic Resources of Dragon Country: "We can take the initiative to help other countries purchase nuclear waste."

"Help?"

"Yes."

The Minister pushed his glasses: "The total amount of nuclear waste accumulated globally exceeds 8 million tons. Among them, Eagle Country has 1.8 million tons, the Northern Border Federation has 1.4 million tons, the Western European Alliance has 800,000 tons, and Japan has 1.1 million tons..."

"We can propose requests to these countries in the name of processing nuclear waste."

The Supreme Commander's expression stirred: "What about the price?"

"According to the market price, the cost of processing one ton of nuclear waste is 100,000 dragon coins."

The Minister calculated quickly: "If we help others process 500,000 tons, we can receive 50 billion dragon coins."

"50 billion..."

"This is killing three birds with one stone, right?"

"Our Dragon Country makes a huge profit; it's definitely not a loss!"

"..."

Sounds of discussion rang out.

"It's worth it."

The Supreme Commander also made a decisive decision: "It can allow Godzilla to evolve to the mature stage, and it can also make money. Our Dragon Country will not lose."

"But..."

Someone else raised a question: "Will other countries agree? Won't they suspect our true purpose?"

"They won't."

The Minister of Strategic Resources couldn't help but laugh: "We have already demonstrated our nuclear waste processing technology to the whole world. Now, countries are holding cash and lining up to ask for our help."

"They are eager for us to take more."

The Supreme Commander nodded: "Then it's settled. The Department of Strategic Resources is responsible for external contact, and we will get 500,000 tons of nuclear waste as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Also."

The Supreme Commander looked at the General Zhan Kuang: "What is the situation with Major Luo Yu now?"

"He just broke through to S-rank and is resting in the Icebound Mountain Range." The General Zhan Kuang reported: "His condition is very good, and he even took the initiative to suggest that he wants to continue executing missions."

"S-rank..."

The Supreme Commander sighed with emotion: "Breaking through from C-rank to S-rank in less than a month, this speed..."

"Yes!"

The General Zhan Kuang also showed an expression of deep emotion and said: "Who would have thought that Luo Yu, who awakened an F-rank Talent, would have such great potential? This cultivation speed is unique in the world."

"Good thing."

The Supreme Commander smiled with satisfaction: "The stronger Luo Yu is, the more advantageous it is for us."

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Seemingly thinking of something, the Supreme Commander took out a document: "We need an accurate assessment of Godzilla's true combat power."

"Assessment?"

"Yes."

The Supreme Commander stood up and walked to the window: "Major Luo Yu has swept everything along the way, killing countless mutated beasts, including two S+-rank Twin Scorpions and one S+-rank Radiation Ice Bear."

"But... how does the combat power of these mutated beasts compare to the Abyssal Giant Beasts?"

He turned around, his gaze sharp: "If Godzilla faces Abyssal Giant Beasts that are stronger tier by tier, can it win?"

The meeting room was quiet.

Clearly!

Everyone wanted to know the answer to this question.

"I suggest..."

A few minutes later, a general spoke: "Arranging a live combat test."

"Live combat test?"

"Yes."

The general revealed a smile and said: "Recently, a Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth has been appearing frequently on the East Sea Defense Line. We can let Major Luo Yu take Godzilla to handle it."

"Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth..."

The Supreme Commander pondered for a moment: "Okay, we must make full preparations. We cannot let Major Luo Yu get into trouble."

"Understood!"

"Then let's start it in three days."

...

On the other side.

Major global media outlets exploded.

The official Dragon Country news had just released a news story that shocked the world.

【The eight major nuclear radiation restricted zones within Dragon Country have all been cleared, achieving domestic nuclear-pollution-free status】

Once this news came out, the world was in an uproar.

Eagle Country, White House.

The President looked at the pure territory of Dragon Country on the screen, then looked at the urgent report on his desk regarding the "Nevada nuclear waste Leak Accident", and was so angry that he smashed his coffee cup to pieces.

"Cheating! This is definitely cheating!" The President roared with a flushed face: "They must have used some means to transfer the waste underground or into the sea. Cleaning up so much nuclear waste in one month, even God couldn't do it."

"Mr. President."

After hearing this, the Minister of Intelligence said cautiously: "According to our latest intelligence, Dragon Country used a biological weapon to process the nuclear waste."

"Biological weapon?"

"Yes, it seems to be a giant creature that can consume nuclear radiation."

The Minister of Intelligence pulled up a blurry satellite photo: "This is the only photo we have taken, and its size exceeds 80 meters."

The President stared at the photo, his pupils contracting.

"80 meters... What kind of monster is this?"

"I don't know."

The Minister of Intelligence shook his head: "Dragon Country's security level for it is SSS-rank. Our spies cannot access any intelligence at all."

"Trash!"

Bang!

The President slapped the table in extreme anger: "Find a way for me, at all costs, to get intelligence on this creature!"

"Yes!"

Japan.

Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister looked at the news, his eyes turning red.

Their country was a disaster area for nuclear pollution, the territory was small, and there was nowhere to pile up waste, so they could only discharge it into the sea, and as a result, they were scolded like grandsons.

"Contact Dragon Country immediately!"

He roared at his secretary: "Tell them we are willing to pay any price and ask them to help us process the nuclear wastewater!"

"Yes!"

Northern Border Federation.

The Kremlin.

The President looked at the news and fell into deep thought.

"Dragon Country's technology... is already leading the world."

He turned to look at the Minister of National Defense: "How much nuclear waste reserves do we have?"

"1.4 million tons."

"Contact Dragon Country."

The President did not hesitate and made a decisive decision: "Tell them we are willing to pay money to let them help us process the nuclear waste."

"Understood."

Countries around the world,

Almost at the same time, all sent cooperation requests to Dragon Country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Dragon Country had its phones blown up.

And on the internet, the discussion was even more heated.

"Dragon Country is awesome! This is a real great power!"

"So envious that I'm crying, when can our country achieve this step?"

"What technology did Dragon Country use? It's too magical!"

"I heard it's biological technology. The official Eagle Country released intelligence, saying that the most advanced satellites captured a giant monster."

"Giant monster? Could it be an Abyssal Giant Beast?"

"I don't know."

All kinds of speculations were flying everywhere.

Unfortunately,

The official Dragon Country remained silent and did not reveal any information about Godzilla.

This made the whole world even more curious and restless.
