62: Chapter 61 Arrival, Welcoming, Giving Godzilla a Foot and Shoulder Massage?

Twelve hours later.

Northern Border Federation, Cosmo International Airport.

The transport plane landed slowly.

The hatch opened,

Luo Yu walked down the ramp with Godzilla.

The tarmac was already full of people, led by a middle-aged man in military uniform with four gold stars on his epaulettes.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu, welcome to the Northern Border Federation." The middle-aged man proactively extended his hand and said very politely, "I am Ivannov, the Minister of National Defense of the Northern Border Federation."

"Minister Ivannov." Luo Yu shook hands.

"This is His Excellency the President." Ivannov introduced an elderly man in a suit next to him.

"Your Excellency." Luo Yu saluted.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu, I have heard much about you." The President said with a beaming smile, "Thank you for coming to help us handle the nuclear waste issue."

"It's my duty."

"And this is..."

The President looked at the Little Lizard on Luo Yu's shoulder.

"Godzilla."

Luo Yu patted its head.

Hiss!

The Little Lizard let out a low growl.

Alright!

Although it was only thirty centimeters in size,

but... the invisible pressure still made everyone present feel a surge of palpitations.

"Truly... an awe-inspiring existence." The President couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go."

Ivannov made a gesture of invitation and said, "We have prepared a welcome dinner."

"No need."

Luo Yu shook his head and said, "I want to see the situation in the Nuclear Waste Storage Area first."

"This..."

Ivannov was stunned for a moment.

"Time is precious."

Luo Yu said calmly, "The sooner we start, the sooner we finish."

"Fine."

The President didn't say much more: "Then you should go directly to Siberia."

"Can do."

The group boarded several military off-road vehicles and headed toward Siberia.

In the car.

Ivannov took out a detailed set of information.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu, this is the detailed situation of the Siliberia Nuclear Radiation Zone."

Luo Yu took the information and flipped through it.

[Siliberia Nuclear Radiation Zone]

Area: 120,000 square kilometers

Radiation Level: SSS-rank

nuclear waste reserves: 600,000 tons

Number of Mutated Beasts: 53,000

Known SSS-rank Mutated Beast: One (Siliberia Tiger)

Known SS-Class Mutated Beasts: Seventeen

Known S-rank Mutated Beasts: 320

"This Siliberia Tiger..."

Luo Yu pointed to the photo in the file and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"Of course."

Ivannov's expression turned solemn: "That is the strongest Mutated Beast we have ever encountered."

"Two months ago, it was only S-rank."

"But... in just three months, it evolved to SSS-rank."

"We sent three of our most advanced 'north wind god' Heavy Mecha, accompanied by twelve SS-Class Awakened for a suppression mission."

"As a result... while pursuing it, we entered the radiation center area and..."

Ivannov paused.

"Wiped out?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Not completely wiped out." Ivannov added with a bitter smile, "All three of the most advanced 'north wind god' mecha were scrapped, eight of the twelve Awakened died, and the remaining four were seriously injured."

"And that Siliberia Tiger... was only seriously injured, but it grew stronger the more it fought, aided by the nuclear radiation."

"Since then, we haven't dared to go in again."

Luo Yu nodded thoughtfully.

It was much as he had guessed... in the central radiation area, an SSS-rank Mutated Beast indeed couldn't be dealt with by ordinary means.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu."

Despite knowing Godzilla's strength, Ivannov still asked cautiously, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

"I am."

Luo Yu's tone was very certain.

"That's good."

Ivannov breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to say, "We can send our most advanced Heavy Mecha to assist you, however... because the nuclear radiation zone has a suppression effect on Heavy Mecha, they can only assist on the outskirts of the Core Area."

"No problem."

Luo Yu said without thinking, "When the time comes, your 'north wind god' mecha don't need to do anything, they just need to give Godzilla a foot massage."

"Foot... massage?"

Ivannov was dumbfounded.

Everyone else in the car was also stunned.

Their most advanced Heavy Mecha giving Godzilla a foot massage? What kind of operation was this?

"Hahaha... just kidding." Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Your mecha can just stand by on the outskirts; Godzilla can handle it himself."

"Well... alright."

Although Ivannov was a bit confused,

he didn't ask further.

As for the foot... massage?

As long as Godzilla solved the problem, having the Heavy Mecha give a foot... massage wasn't out of the question.

The convoy continued forward.

Three hours later,

they finally arrived at the edge of the Siliberia Nuclear Radiation Zone.

Looking out,

a temporary military base stood on the wasteland.

Towering watchtowers, thick alloy walls, and more than twenty Heavy Mecha over a hundred meters tall were lined up neatly.

Seeing they had reached their destination, Luo Yu got out of the off-road vehicle and surveyed the surroundings: a gray sky, a barren earth where nothing grew, and the faint smell of radiation lingering in the air.

"This is the first line of defense for the Siliberia Nuclear Radiation Zone." Ivannov quickly got out of the car to introduce: "We have deployed twenty-three Heavy Mecha here, slightly inferior to the most advanced 'north wind god', along with three hundred Awakened to prevent Mutated Beasts from rushing out of the radiation zone."

"How effective is the defensive line?" Luo Yu looked toward the distant Core Area.

"It's alright." Ivannov took a deep breath and said, "We can stop ordinary Mutated Beasts from rushing out, but if they are S-rank or above, they have intelligence... it becomes very difficult, especially that SSS-rank Siliberia Tiger, which even knows how to use tactical strategies."

"Don't worry, with me here, no tactical strategy will be of any damn use."

"Hope so."

Ivannov led Luo Yu into the Base Command Center.

A massive holographic screen displayed real-time monitoring footage of the radiation zone.

"This is footage we captured with drones." A technician explained while operating the console, "However... drones can only last ten minutes inside the radiation zone, so the image isn't very clear."

On the screen.

On the gray wasteland, the shadows of Mutated Beasts were everywhere.

Packs of mutated wolves over ten meters in size.

Mutated Bears with three heads.

Mutated Wild Boars covered in sharp spikes.

And some monsters whose original species couldn't be identified at all.

"These are all low-level Mutated Beasts." Ivannov pointed at the screen: "The real danger lies deep within the radiation zone."

The screen switched.

A forest contaminated by nuclear radiation.

The trees were all dead, but strangely, these withered trees were covered with green glowing fungi.

And deep within the forest,

a massive figure could be vaguely seen.

"That is the Siliberia Tiger." Ivannov's voice became solemn.

Luo Yu narrowed his eyes.

Although the footage looked very blurry, the size of the tiger could still be discerned.

At least a hundred meters long.

Its body was covered in black scales, with a row of sharp bone spikes growing along its back.

"It's currently dormant." The technician spoke up, "Based on our observations, it spends twenty hours a day dormant and only comes out to be active for four hours."

"What does it do when it's active?"

"Hunting." Ivannov replied, "It hunts other Mutated Beasts and absorbs the radiation energy in their bodies, which is why it was able to evolve so quickly."

"I see!"

Luo Yu nodded playfully.

It seemed this Siliberia Tiger had already mastered an evolutionary method similar to Godzilla's, strengthening itself by devouring the energy of other Mutated Beasts.

"Interesting."

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu." Ivannov asked, "When do you plan to go in?"

"Now."

Luo Yu turned to leave.

"Now?"

Ivannov was stunned for a moment before catching up and saying, "Don't you need to rest? It'll be dark in a few hours, and visibility in the radiation zone is very low..."

"No need."

Luo Yu said without looking back, "Finish early, eat early."

"This..."

Ivannov and the other officers looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

This Lieutenant Colonel from the Dragon Kingdom was too straightforward.

Giving money,

and he really gets things done?

They had originally arranged some exciting programs to let Luo Yu enjoy himself first, but now it seemed that giving money to the Dragon Kingdom was truly worth it.

"Immediately notify all mecha units."

With almost no hesitation, Ivannov also gave the order decisively: "Enter first-level combat readiness, be ready to support Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu at any time, and at the same time, dispatch three 'north wind god' mecha to prepare to massage Godzilla's feet."

"Yes!"
