Chapter 59
Newest Plan
Crackle crackle!
The flames danced around the red zone… and the temperature of the surrounding air went up several degrees.
At this moment, the eight massive Blood Pythons were hunkered down near the flames, constantly flicking out their tongues.
“Spring! Why did King stop us just now? If we kill all the mutated beasts, with our devouring ability, we’ll become even stronger, and when that happens, the entire island will become our territory. No other species would be able to stop us.”
“Idiot! Can you really not comprehend why the King did that?” Spring asked unreservedly. “Let me ask you, do you have what it takes to defeat Wang Wen in a fight? Even if it was the Wang Wen you first met, would you be able to defeat him?”
“All the mutated beasts have clans of their own, and every clan has a king, all of whom are incredibly powerful. Even though our King can even breathe fire, it takes a certain amount of time for him to use that ability. If those mutated beasts felt like fighting to the death and joined hands to attack us together, it’s really hard to say who would win.”
“The King let them go after intimidating them with his mighty strength, which means they’ll be our food soon enough. We just have to take them down one by one! The King’s decision isn’t wrong.”
“Those mutated beasts fear our King’s power. When they return, they’ll expend great effort to propagate and protect more of their kind. By the time we kill them, we’ll be able to capture all their offspring. And if we raise them, they’ll become yet another huge source of food.”
“The King truly is wise.”
“Yeah! But first, let’s gather the burnt corpses of those wild beasts! They’ll be used as fodder for the juvenile snakes later on.”
The eight Blood Pythons continued their discussion.
One had to admit that their way of thinking had altered drastically after the Evolution Potion improved their intelligence. They even managed to guess some of Ye Bei’s true intentions.
Of course…
If Ye Bei were to hear them, other than being shocked…
He would want to say one thing to these eight pythons: for snakes, don’t you f*ckin’ think you’re being a little too noisy!!!
Of course, it was impossible for those at the Mercenary Base to remain oblivious to the massive fire that had taken place.
Those in charge had gotten up from their cozy blankets in the dead of night and were now having a meeting in the conference room. They were all looking at the footage on the massive screen.
“…Gentlemen! This video footage has just been fed back from the island! The massive flames spanned at least several hundred meters, and what’s more, they had instantly appeared. However, according to our experts’ analysis, these flames don’t appear to be man-made. The first time they appeared may have been an accident, but the second time definitely wasn’t.
When the chief mercenary, who was sitting at the head of the table, said this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Apart from being cruel, those who were able to hold such a high position naturally had extremely high intelligence.
But the conclusions drawn from the video analysis made him feel a little terrified!
Some of the other high officials also expressed their opinions.
“To be frank, this is truly unbelievable!”
“Unbelievable! We’ve checked the mutated beasts over there before. Apart from being massive in size, they don’t really pose any threat! Besides, that island is completely isolated from the outside world, and it’s surrounded by vast oceans. Those beasts have absolutely no chance of escaping. If we find that they pose a threat to mankind, all the countries of this world will definitely want to destroy the entire island. There’s no doubt about it.”
“It’s true that the flames are incredible, but I don’t think they pose any harm!”
The high officials’ remarks made the chief mercenary feel even gloomier as he sat at the head of the table.
“Then… what if it the mutated creatures on the island are the ones that have gained mastery over fire?” the person in charge of the mercenary said, his voice chilling. “That would mean they’re intelligent. Gentlemen… don’t forget, even if their bodies are capable of undergoing such terrifying changes, it isn’t impossible for their minds to as well! Maybe, if they’re given enough time, those mutated beasts, even if they know nothing about water right now, will be able to enter and live in the sea. If that day truly arrives, there’ll be trouble.”
Though the chief mercenary’s voice was cold, on the other hand, the desire in his eyes was growing more and more intense…
“I suggest that we continue to send more people to attack Research Island.”
“I agree. By then, we should have enough weapons prepared to stop the creatures from evolving any further.”
“It would be best if we placed armored vehicles over there.”
“As long as we capture the creatures over there and get them analyzed, all will come to light! The plan should proceed as intended, but an upgrade is advised.”
“For mankind!”
“For mankind!”
“For world peace!”
“For the human race’s prosperity…”
The high officials around him were very intelligent. In no time, they quickly understood what their leader meant.
When the chief said that there were intelligent mutated creatures on Research Island…
He made it sound so terrifying.
But in the end, it was for their own benefit.
He was obviously just trying to convince everyone to focus all their attention on Research Island!
Now that they understood all this, the higher officials also had the same idea in their heads, and they naturally hit it off with the chief. In the end, they even said things like “for mankind”… one should know that these people were merciless killers; They just weren’t ashamed to say these kinds of things.
As for now, Ye Bei had absolutely no idea that the mercenary organization would be sending more people to the island.
Hiss hiss!
Under Wang We’s leadership, Ye Bei directly revealed his terrifying presence.
The two huge pythons quickly slithered through the jungle in the Red Zone while making hissing sounds. With such an appalling aura, the mutated beasts they encountered along the way, no matter the kind, all instinctively hid far away for fear of getting themselves in trouble.
20 minutes later.
Wang Wen finally slowed down a little…then came to a complete stop.
“My King, we’ve arrived,” Wang Wen said respectfully. “All the eggs are inside this place.”
Hmm?
Ye Bei also stopped moving.
Snake eggs… these would help him expand the snake colony, and also increase his own strength. When he followed Wang Wen’s gaze, he stuck out his forked tongue. The pupils of his eyes returned to pitch black, but those eyes of his were opening bigger and bigger.
Hooh hooh!
He was even breathing heavily.
As for Wang Wen, who was beside him, when he saw Ye Bei’s reaction, a little excitement slowly appeared in his eyes.
He knew that… the eggs stored here would definitely satisfy his King.
