Chapter 480 - 480 Another Name for the Monsters
480 Another Name for the Monsters
The end of an era meant the arrival of another era. What strange changes would there be?
Human civilization might no longer reign supreme. Had a worthy challenger finally arrived?
Wu Mo saw the contents of the document as well.
The coastal areas around the world were being attacked by terrifying sea monsters. Some were more than three hundred meters long, while others were even between four hundred and five hundred meters long!
The Steel Six-winged Mantis had appeared once again, but it looked a little different this time.
Its body was covered in orange patterns, and its eyes had returned to their oval shape. It could even spit a stream of fiery air out of its mouth.
Wu Mo was shocked when he saw the wings in the picture.
Although its overall size was similar to the Steel Six-winged Mantis from before, could it be another one since it looked so different?
However, from the deep hatred in its oval eyes, Wu Mo could not help but think that this was the same monster that attacked China’s coast.
It was waving its wings like a sharp knife and bringing it down with ferocious slashes.
Every strike would create deep trenches in the ground, destroy buildings, and even cause waves to flood large areas of land.
Meanwhile, its claws and feet were deeply rooted in the ground. Due to its powerful swing, web-like cracks had erupted on the ground and spread in all directions.
“D*mn it! Isn’t this Steel Six-winged Mantis too terrifying?” An officer could not help but sigh.
The document also showed that a coastal city in the northern part of China had been attacked by a monster last night.
However, the sea monster only harassed the city slightly before retreating on its own.
Its appearance was captured from all angles, and it gave people chills.
Everyone could clearly see that this monster resembled a giant undersea spider.
It had an oval-shaped head, and when it spread its eight large claws, it was more than three hundred meters long.
The giant spider was black, like a huge pile of cow dung, which made it impossible to tell where its eyes were.
Its eight huge legs were also covered in barbs, each of which was more than ten meters long. It looked like a tree.
To top it all off, the giant spider displayed a special skill similar to that of the Steel Six-winged Mantis.
The barbs on one of its legs shot out in all directions and stabbed a row of fishing boats near the coast.
These fishing boats were instantly torn into pieces.
Then, the spider monster quickly rose from the ground and momentarily floated in the air as it moved in a bizarre manner.
When the humans responded and unleashed firepower to suppress it, the creature let out a strange cry and dived into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
In addition to the two sea monsters they discovered, there was also a giant Titan Squid. However, its color and appearance were completely different from previous Titan Squids.
This Titan Squid was nearly three hundred meters long. It was more appropriate to call it the Titan Lord.
It did not move toward the coastal cities, but attacked civilian ships passing by on the sea.
These civilian ships had already received the news and avoided the shipwreck area.
However, even though they were in the open sea so far away, they still encountered this terrifying giant squid.
Facing the Titan Lord, even a huge civilian ship could not fight back.
All the goods and people on the ship became food in the Titan Lord’s stomach.
During this period of time, three sea monsters appeared one after another. Wu Mo clenched his fists, wishing he could smash the table in front of him into pieces.
He felt an unprecedented pressure.
“Looks like the old chief is right… Human society is changing, and a new crisis is coming! Mankind will face an unprecedented challenge. If this is not handled properly, this planet might change hands.”
Wu Mo’s tone was filled with anxiety.
“Oh, right, Wu Mo, I think we have to give these sea monsters names. With code names, we can better track them wherever they go,” the old chief suggested.
At this moment, the old chief and a group of officers were considering that the two sea monsters that they discovered later should have code names.
They decided to keep the Six-Winged Steel Mantis’ name.
An officer contemplated for a while and felt that the giant spider sea monster was really omnipotent, so he suggested, “Why don’t we call it the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider?”
Wu Mo nodded in agreement. He felt that this code name was quite appropriate.
Wu Mo obviously named the nearly three-hundred-meter-long Titan Squid, “Titan Lord.” It sounded more majestic.
“The most serious problem now is that we don’t have the ability to kill the three sea monsters the moment they appear!” Wu Mo said in a heavy voice.
He was depressed and thought of the weapon mentioned before, but it was not something that could be developed in a short time.
Thus, they could only think of another way to deal with it.
“In that case, we can only use the backup plan. Set up firepower at the important coastal ports of the city and conduct long-range surveillance 24 hours a day. Once they discover any abnormalities, they would be on standby at any time. When the sea monster appeared, they would concentrate their firepower and kill it!” the old chief suggested helplessly.
However, this method required a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
As long as the sea monsters did not appear, all the port cities had to maintain a high level of vigilance.
Every city was extremely important and could not withstand such an attack.
Under the constant threat of sea monsters, people had no choice but to use all their skills.
Day after day, night after night, the firepower of the coastal cities was never peaceful.
Although it was impossible to predict the actions of the sea monsters, people had to be prepared at all times to meet these terrifying monsters at any time.
However, in this endless fear, there was still a glimmer of hope.
The inland cities could continuously provide support to the coastal cities, making the human defense line against the sea monsters even more indestructible.
At least so far, these sea monsters had yet to show their ability to land. They only appeared briefly in the sea, disturbed the peace of the humans, and then quickly disappeared.
At the same time, Wu Mo returned to the Institute of Special Biology and continued to observe the next batch of test subjects.
These test subjects were students from the research and development training school.
When they found out that they would be part of Chief Engineer Wu’s grand plan, everyone was extremely excited!
To them, receiving Life First to extend their lifespan and make them look younger was undoubtedly a great honor.
Everyone was proud of this.
Now, the total number of people who had been injected had reached five thousand. When the number reached ten thousand, there would be a qualitative change.
At that time, Wu Mo would fully promote Life First and make it a universal experiment.
Various places would set up injection points to allow people to inject Life First nearby.
Although the pharmaceutical ingredients were difficult to obtain, as the number of people injected increased, the benefits brought by the drug also increased.
This was no longer a problem for Wu Mo.
At this moment, Wu Mo felt that the time had come. He began to devote himself to the research lab and focused on developing Life Second.
This potion could increase a person’s lifespan by sixty years and make them look as young as thirty years old. Everyone was fascinated by it!
