45: Chapter 44 Departure, East China Sea Wormhole

"Done."

Luo Yu turned to look at General Zhankuang.

"You... this is too fast, right?"

General Zhankuang was still in a state of shock, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

He had already prepared for the worst, but he did not expect Godzilla to finish it in one second. It seemed he would have to ruthlessly adapt to Godzilla's abnormality in the future.

"Not bad."

Luo Yu grinned and said, "Mainly because Godzilla was hungry, so he was quite ruthless."

"..."

General Zhankuang's mouth could not help but twitch a few times.

This is called 'quite ruthless'?

This is simply a one-hit kill, okay!

"General."

Luo Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Do you know why this Abyssal Giant Beast resurrected?"

"Don't know."

General Zhankuang was also full of confusion, then looked at the elderly researcher: "Old Zhang, what do you think?"

"Wait a moment!!"

The researcher called Old Zhang pushed up his glasses, walked to the corpse of the Split-Tooth Beast, and observed it carefully.

"If I'm not mistaken..."

After a few minutes, Old Zhang pointed to the chest of the Split-Tooth Beast and guessed, "It should be the influence of the wormhole."

"wormhole?"

"Yes." Old Zhang's expression became serious, and he said, "In the last three months, the activity of the seven wormholes around the world has been rising, and the released energy fluctuations are getting stronger. Therefore, I suspect that these energy fluctuations can activate the core fragments remaining in the bodies of the Abyssal Giant Beasts, thereby allowing them to briefly resurrect."

"No way?"

General Zhankuang's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously said, "You mean... the other Abyssal Giant Beast corpses here could also resurrect?"

"Theoretically, it is possible." Old Zhang could not help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and said slowly, "However, the probability is not high. After all, most of the Abyssal Giant Beasts have been dead for a long time, and the core fragments in their bodies have long since completely dissipated."

"Only those like the Split-Tooth Beast, whose death time does not exceed half a year, have the possibility of resurrection."

"Is that so?"

General Zhankuang was silent for a few seconds before ordering, "Immediately check all containers, transfer all Abyssal Giant Beasts that have been dead for less than half a year to the super isolation zone, and strengthen monitoring."

"Yes!"

Luo Yu listened to their conversation, but he was thinking about other things.

The wormhole activity is rising...

What does this mean?

It means that the unknown abyss on the other side of the wormhole might be about to make a big move.

"General."

The next second, Luo Yu's expression also became serious, and he said, "I don't think we can wait any longer. Godzilla needs to increase its strength as soon as possible."

"What do you want to do?" General Zhankuang's tone was also very serious.

"Now that various countries are hiding the nuclear waste, then Godzilla will go to the East Sea Wormhole." A flash of brilliance crossed Luo Yu's eyes, and he said shockingly, "Let Godzilla guard there, first clear out the Abyssal Giant Beasts in the deep sea, then wait around the wormhole. It will eat as many Abyssal Giant Beasts as come out."

"Fine,"

General Zhankuang did not hesitate and said, "I will report to the higher-ups now."

...

Three hours later,

The approval from the Supreme Command Headquarters came down.

They agreed to Luo Yu's proposal to let Godzilla patrol near the East Sea Wormhole and kill any appearing Abyssal Giant Beasts.

However, there was one condition—Luo Yu must follow for the entire duration to ensure Godzilla remains within a controllable range.

Regarding this, Luo Yu of course had no objections.

That evening, Luo Yu took General Zhankuang's private plane and returned from the Abyss Eye base to the East Sea Defense Line.

There was no other way; the higher-ups had already assigned General Zhankuang to be specifically responsible for Luo Yu's logistical support.

On the plane, General Zhankuang gave Luo Yu a detailed introduction to the situation of the East Sea Wormhole.

"The East Sea Wormhole is located in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, about 400 kilometers away from our defense line, and the water depth exceeds 7,000 meters."

"According to known intelligence, the wormhole has a diameter of about eight kilometers and is the third-largest wormhole in the world."

"Most of the Abyssal Giant Beasts that crawl out of the wormhole are amphibious, generally larger than the Mutated Beasts in the radiation zone, and are more difficult to deal with."

While speaking, General Zhankuang also brought up a holographic map, which marked the location of the wormhole and the surrounding defense deployments.

"We have deployed three lines of defense around the wormhole."

"The first line of defense is the underwater monitoring network, which can detect Abyssal Giant Beasts coming out of the wormhole in advance."

"The second line of defense is the drone mecha group, equipped with heavy weapons, capable of long-range strikes."

"The third line of defense is the East Sea Defense Line itself, composed of fleets and heavy mechas."

Luo Yu listened, and he had an idea of the situation.

"In other words, if Godzilla wants to go, it needs to pass through these three lines of defense?"

"Yes." General Zhankuang nodded and said, "However, I will notify the various defense lines in advance, telling them not to attack Godzilla and to let you pass."

"Additionally..." Speaking of this, General Zhankuang paused, "The deep sea near the wormhole is very dangerous. Besides some Abyssal Giant Beasts, there are other unknown threats."

"What threats?"

"The energy fluctuations released by the wormhole will interfere with electronic equipment and even affect the spiritual power circulation of Awakeners."

"Therefore, even an SSS-Class Awakened would not dare to stay near the wormhole for a long time."

Luo Yu touched Godzilla on his shoulder and silently asked in his heart.

"Godzilla, are you afraid?"

Hiss! Hiss!

The Little Lizard opened its eyes, a trace of disdain flashed in its vertical pupils, and then it closed its eyes again to continue dozing.

"It seems Godzilla is not afraid at all."

Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"What about you?" General Zhankuang said somewhat worriedly, "The area around the wormhole is extremely dangerous for humans."

"Me?" Luo Yu thought for a moment before saying slowly, "I shouldn't be afraid either. After all, Godzilla and I are one. What it can withstand, I should also be able to withstand."

"That's good. But you still have to be careful. If an accident occurs, evacuate immediately."

"Don't worry."

The plane landed on the tarmac at the East Sea Defense Line.

As soon as Luo Yu got off the plane, he saw Su Qingxue waiting there with a security squad.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu." Su Qingxue saluted.

"Lieutenant Colonel Su." Luo Yu returned the salute.

"I heard you are going near the wormhole?" Su Qingxue frowned and couldn't help but say, "It is extremely dangerous there."

"I know." Luo Yu smiled dismissively, "Godzilla needs to eat. I can't let it go hungry, right?"

"Sigh!!" Su Qingxue looked at the Little Lizard on Luo Yu's shoulder and sighed, "Then—I will go with you."

"No need." Luo Yu stretched and shook his head, "You stay on the defense line. In case too many Abyssal Giant Beasts come out of the wormhole, Godzilla might not be able to look after you."

"Hmph!" Hearing Luo Yu imply that her strength was weak, Su Qingxue rarely didn't get angry, but just snorted, "Then take care of yourself."

"I will."

Luo Yu turned to look at General Zhankuang, "General, when do I depart?"

"Now." General Zhankuang pointed to a small submarine parked at the edge of the tarmac, "This specially made submarine will take you to the waters near the wormhole. The rest of the way, Godzilla will have to swim on its own."

"Fine."

Luo Yu boarded the submarine, and the hatch slowly closed.

The submarine started, slowly sailed away from the port, and dived toward the deep sea.

Inside the cabin, Luo Yu sat in front of the observation window, watching the seawater outside gradually darken.

Godzilla on his shoulder was now fully awake, its vertical pupils staring tightly outside the window, its tail wagging excitedly.
