Dragon Race: Lu Mingfei Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 363: Night of Wind and Tide (I)

No one knew what Lu Mingfei meant by "started". All the people who were remotely observing the operation focused their attention on the photos sent back by the Giant Shark.

The camera system of the Megashark was racing against time to record the grandeur and majesty of this ancient underwater dragon city, and with the help of Eva and Kaguya, these photos and videos were recorded and preserved;
For scholars who study dragon history, the paintings, texts and carvings in the photos are the most valuable antiquities. They can use these things to infer the lost ancient civilization, from lifestyle to beliefs, from craftsmanship to political systems.

But now all the cameras are pointed at the huge vermilion torii gate in front of the ancient city - but the purpose is not to record the details and patterns of the torii gate.

Everyone saw the terrifying scene on the screen more than 8,000 meters below the sea:
At the end of the torii, the strangely shaped ruins of the building seemed like a "mountain" rising from the ground. Under the illumination of the magma, it opened a fleshy eye, followed by a second one... facing the Giant Shark from a distance of hundreds of meters.

The camera zoomed in on the surface of the "building," revealing countless black shellfish densely packed on its surface, enough to scare people with trypophobia to faint.

"A 4.2 magnitude earthquake was detected in the abyss."

The seabed ground was shaking violently, and the entire ruins of the ancient city began to shake. The magma rolled up in the magma river illuminated the surface of the giant alien creature more clearly:

Those black shellfish are countless lung snails that are constantly mating and giving birth. Originally, they were at the bottom of the food chain in this strange dragon ecosystem and served as a source of nutrition for other marine life. But after this "building" opened its eyes, the boiling flesh and blood that drilled out from the cracks below covered and engulfed them all, and a new layer of flesh and blood structure similar to tendons and fascia formed on the surface.

It was a hundred meters long, with half of it inserted into the seabed. Buildings could be seen collapsing in circles around it. At this moment, as the thing was resurrected, the part of its body that was inserted into the seabed pulled itself out. It was clearly visible that it was a steel structure, but it was immediately wrapped by the spreading blood and flesh fungus carpet, and it developed movable limbs and drew black blood from underground.

"That damn thing is the Lenin!" Finkel cursed, "It has turned into this horrible state!"

Lu Mingfei watched silently and indifferently. He could slightly feel a faint biological signal coming from the fleshy creature, as if calling him.

Just as he had guessed before, the embryo carried on the Lenin was the bloodline of the black dragon "Eusebeia" who was loyal to Lu Mingze until his death, and the contaminating genes from the dragon even alienated and transformed this giant steel ship into a part of it.

But then, the faint biological signal calling out to him disappeared, and was replaced by undisguised malice and evil.

Lu Mingfei sensed a familiar breath coming from chaos.

"This is a blood sacrifice, a type of alchemy that is most worth abandoning. Someone deliberately killed the embryo half to death, and then sank the Lenin with it as a sacrifice," Yuan Zhinv moved the camera to the bottom of the ruins. At the break of the black blood extracted by the alien organism, it can be seen that the black blood spread throughout the ancient city, like a spring that nourishes it. "This blood sacrifice process should have continued for another four or five years, but someone accelerated the process and distorted it."

"Do you want to extract some samples for research?" Yuan Zhinv turned around and asked Lu Mingfei.

“No need, just purify it along with the things it sacrificed in blood.” Lu Mingfei replied coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a new alarm sounded in the Giant Shark. In addition to the signal from the giant creature just now, new dense red spots lit up on the dragon creature signal monitoring radar, indicating that a large number of dragon creatures were reviving at the bottom of the city.

Scarlet red mist gushed out from the ground of the Takama-ga-hara ruins. It was the dragon's blood flowing underground that nourished this ancient city. Cracks appeared on the ground, and slender creatures crawled out from them.

They tore open the blood membrane that wrapped themselves like a placenta, revealing their bodies with a metallic luster. Purple or blue lines could be vaguely seen flowing on their bodies. When they raised their heads, even the light of the magma could not hide those pairs of shining golden eyes.

"The city's defense system has been activated, but these corpse guards are a little different... But who cares! These despicable creatures, all of them, shall die under the Mega Shark's thunderbolt!"

An excited cry came from the power armor of the source girl.

……

Sitting on the Sumeru throne, Yuan Zhisheng nervously watched the strange changes happening on the seabed, the awakening of the giant creature and the countless resurrected corpses that emerged from the ground.

"Is that thing our resurrected ancestor?" His face turned pale, but suddenly, he was startled by the screams and gunshots coming from the group's communication channel.

"Wind Team! Fire Team! Forest Team! What happened!" Crow immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called, but received no response.

"Something happened!" Yuan Zhisheng was alert and had a very bad premonition...and the instinctive warning from the super hybrid and the gunshots ringing in his ears confirmed this!
The door of the observation room of the Rock Flow Research Institute was kicked open roughly, and several members of the "Mountain Group" who were waiting outside rushed in with their large-caliber pistols in hand expressionlessly, pulling the trigger at anyone they saw. Before Yuan Zhisheng could react and kick the chair away, knocking them down, several researchers in the front had already been hit in the head by bullets.

Crow and Yaksha quickly pounced and shot the attacker dead on the spot.

"Damn it! Hasn't Herzog's dirty blood been completely cleaned up yet?!"

Yuan Zhisheng gritted his teeth and cursed. He originally thought that it was a sneak attack launched by Herzog from the outside, but now it seems that the troubles Herzog left inside the family are much more than he imagined.

He rushed out of the Rock Flow Research Institute. The sounds of gunfire and explosions outside were becoming more frequent. The members of the "Mountain Group" stationed on the Sumeru Seat were fighting each other, but it seemed that the rebels had the upper hand. The "Wind Group" that was flying helicopters for air surveillance and the "Fire Group" that was driving water police boats equipped with heavy weapons turned their spearheads to attack those who had not rebelled. Three of the four floating platforms had been lost.

The only remaining one he was in might not be able to hold out for too long, as the forces of the other rebels would soon be concentrated here... Especially from the direction of the dock where Lu Mingfei's alchemy technology group was located. The gunfire there was the most intense, and there were constant strange cries/screams of "No, you can't do this" and "Quack! Boss Caesar, save me".

This startled Yuan Zhisheng, and he subconsciously led his men to rush over to support them. However, after arriving, he realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Those seemingly powerless technical team members were actually wearing thick exoskeleton armor under their robes!
Judging from the gleaming alchemical patterns on their surface, they were obviously not simple cosplay props. The pistols and submachine guns held by the rebellious "Mountain Group" members could only create a few sparks when they hit them; instead, the powerful firepower from the weapons equipped by the technical group directly blasted the rebel team back.

A loud "boom" was heard not far away. A helicopter operated by a rebel lost control and crashed into a nearby floating platform. The huge fireball produced by the explosion briefly illuminated the howling wind and rain in the night sky.

Yuan Zhisheng saw Caesar's figure. He was still standing on the top of the Sumeru pedestal, occupying the commanding heights, accurately shooting the traitors while rescuing the besieged loyalists. Just now, he used the firearm of amazing caliber in his hand to accurately kill the two pilots on the helicopter in this extremely complex environment.

A moment later, Caesar grabbed a lifting hook and fell from the top, and the heavy armor made a deafening roar when it hit the ground.

His handsome face no longer had the smile it had before, only seriousness:

"You have two minutes. Gather and evacuate here with us."

"Evacuate?" Yuan Zhisheng was puzzled. "But they are still down there! And the little girl, what if something happens to them..."

"It will be fine. Believe in their strength," Caesar said calmly, "and while they are busy, we'd better solve the corresponding problems for them. We need to evacuate to the 'second front' set in the plan."

"The second front?"

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned, but Caesar did not continue to explain to him.

Several dazzling fireballs lit up in succession in the dark night sky with strong winds and heavy rain. The six helicopters originally piloted by the Wind Group were all destroyed. Yuan Zhisheng recognized the attackers. They were advanced flying vehicles called "Hunter Gunboat" from the Sword of Revelation Legion. Ordinary helicopters were powerless against this low-altitude offensive vehicle.

Soon after, a second hunter gunboat appeared, dragging a dazzling tail flame and hovering outside the dock. The group of technicians cheered, then quickly packed up their equipment and evacuated the ship in an orderly manner.

"The Earthquake Bureau has just issued an earthquake and tsunami alert. The tsunami will start in about ten minutes. Even the Sumeru Throne won't be able to hold on for long. Also, young master, look at this." The head of the Rock Flow Research Institute, Miyamoto Shio, handed Gen Chisei a tablet with the real-time results of the Sumeru Throne's sonar scan. Hundreds of light spots could be seen rising at high speed from the bottom of the sea.

"The group of corpse guards in Takama-ga-hara..." Gen Chisei's heart sank to the bottom.

"We'd better obey Mr. Caesar's instructions. His Excellency the High Priest and his legion must have made corresponding plans and programs for this matter." Miyamoto Shio said.

It is obvious that there is no better choice than to evacuate. The fire group that originally had a certain firepower has fallen into the hands of the rebels, and the few people left here cannot stop such a large number of corpse guards - and this is only the first wave of offensive!
Just as Yuan Zhisheng gathered the remaining people and prepared to board the gunboat to evacuate, he received a communication message from the main family, which made his face turn pale in an instant:
"The Kanto branch has rebelled! Genji Heavy Industries has been attacked! The demons have taken Miss Erii away!"

……

Happy May Day to everyone! (Although it’s almost over)

Guess whose new clothes are these? (Not colored)
