Free Web NovelChapter 51: Chapter 51: The Bearer of the Doomsday Fragment
The "toilet" that had become an oil depot was naturally devoid of any foul stench.
The entire zoo seemed to have undergone a colossal transformation, not just the creatures, but the environment as well.
Even Bai Wu believed the rules of the outside world were definitely not as simple as he had imagined.
The apocalypse was like a shift in the world’s rules.
A toilet generally wouldn’t hold anything special, but on the inside of the toilet’s door... Bai Wu did find some information:
"That dog... I’ve said before that there’s something wrong with that dog, but why didn’t anyone listen to me! That dog should have been dealt with earlier! It’s come back, it’s come back to get revenge on us!"
A dog?
Even if Bai Wu was skilled at guessing, he couldn’t infer any information from this.
But clues came to him much faster than he had anticipated.
The lions outside the stronghold began to emit uneasy sounds, and in those sounds was an unmistakable fear.
Bai Wu didn’t overthink it and walked out of the stronghold, and at that moment... he realized the ground was shaking slightly.
It was as if some gigantic creature was trampling the area.
Within the zoo, all sorts of mechanical beasts roared, as if warning of something extremely dangerous approaching.
In Bai Wu’s field of vision, there appeared an immensely gigantic creature.
[Level 7 mutant Evil Fallen, rare Mutation Entry: Mechanization, Infinite Energy, Stitched. Perfect Mutation Entries: Gigantism, Overload Operation, Heat Armament.
As you see, this is a dog, and you can even recognize from its lackluster gaze that it is a Husky, but in this area, it is the undisputed overlord, and also... the carrier of the Doomsday Puzzle Fragment. To take the fragment, you need to gain its recognition.]
This was a colossal creature comparable in size to a battleship.
From its skull, one could vaguely make out that it belonged to the species of a dog, but due to excessive mutation, its body showed no other sign of canine features.
The skeleton was fused with machinery, its internal organs all intricately etched with precision patterns, yet they lacked the aesthetic of machinery.
The head still retained flesh and blood, but the body was reduced to a skeletal structure, and those bones were covered with dense clusters of gun barrels.
These gun barrels looked just like the shotguns from Bai Wu’s previous life.
This suddenly emergent behemoth completely overshadowed Bai Wu’s Mech Lion.
The lion was like a kitten curled up inside the oil depot, shaking with trepidation.
Gigantism, as a perfect Mutation Entry, symbolized absolute power. Dandelion also possessed the ability to become gigantic, and when it entered its second stage, the stomach form, its power was almost incomparable to the previous form.
The strength of this Evil Fallen even surpassed that of the two disciples, just ranking below Hong Yin.
"With three perfect entries... this is not something I can handle."
Bai Wu didn’t know what Overload Operation and Heat Armament were, but looking at the densely packed shotgun barrels, he could be sure that they were the reason this big dog dominated the area.
"It appears to be patrolling its territory?"
Bai Wu was not flustered, instead taking the offensive, he gently soothed the Mech Lion by his side.
In comparison with the giant white-boned Husky, both Bai Wu and the lion seemed exceedingly insignificant.
The terrifying, mountainous body moved slowly, and as the distance closed, Bai Wu could feel the trembling of the ground growing more intense.
He remained calm, pondering the previous instance zones seriously.
"So it seems, the Doomsday Fragments each have their corresponding Guardians?"
"The Guardian of the Ninth Hospital should have been Hong Yin, but the fragment was relocated... this might be related to Cain."
To find Cain, one would need to use the Traction Disc, and for the short term, Bai Wu did not wish to use the Traction Disc.
He stared at the gigantic husky roaming the area, incessantly deducing the truth:
"The husky isn’t one of the stray dogs, this dog must have an owner. The owner must also be closely related to the zoo."
"Previous information showed that the zoo staff had considered dealing with this dog. The dog came back for revenge... Why would a dog want to revenge against humans? It seems like there’s a story behind this zoo."
Until now, Bai Wu had not seen a single human Evil Fallen, all he encountered were animal Evil Fallen.
He faintly felt that something was amiss, Cain had left the stories of his disciples in the area related to the Traction Disc.
But perhaps each area itself... the guardians of the Doomsday Fragments all have their own stories.
"The note mentioned that to obtain the Doomsday Puzzle Fragment, I need to earn the Guardian’s recognition, not eliminate the Guardian..."
Bai Wu narrowed his eyes.
At the same time, this scene from his live broadcast greatly satisfied the sensory needs of the tower’s internal audience.
Just as some people have a phobia of the deep sea, there are those who like to witness such bizarrely gigantic creatures.
The emotions of the spectators at Salvage Harbor grew more intense, and even the organizers knew that an Evil Fallen of this caliber was not commonly seen even in the Blue Zone.
"What in the world is this monster... I’d bet a day’s worth of nutritional meals, if this thing appeared in our mining area, it would absolutely scare everyone pissless..."
"This broadcast is much more interesting than the last one!"
"Constantine is so cool! A real man should be riding a lion and fighting monsters!"
"My Yao, Ah Kai, and Little Wang Cai suddenly don’t seem so enticing anymore."
The scene in Bai Wu’s vision looked as if a distant mountain range was suddenly moving; the mountainous beast, dragging its body covered in bones and artillery, slowly shifted.
The birds in the sky, resembling fighter jets, quickly scattered, but in a short while... all were taken down by the horrific canine.
The Evil Dog, however, had no interest in the mechanical cores inside these birds. It seemed to be searching for something, or perhaps wandering aimlessly.
This perspective was like people walking on the streets of Tokyo witnessing the sudden appearance of a monster fighting with Ultraman.
In the seven hundred years, these animals had also unraveled some rules.
So most animals hid in strongholds to sleep. Because in the world outside the tower, certain scenes were indestructible.
After a full seven minutes had passed, the lion beside him finally stopped trembling.
It raised its head with pride, looking at its dear Bai Wu as if the one scared and curled up just a moment ago wasn’t itself.
For the animals here, fearing that giant hunting dog was nothing to be ashamed of.
Bai Wu once again mounted the lion’s back, but when he pointed in the direction of the giant dog, the Mech Lion clearly resisted.
"Great, the affection brought by the ring is still not strong enough; it doesn’t want to take risks for me."
Bai Wu could only watch helplessly as Little Wang Cai left.
The fear over seven hundred years taught the lion one thing: the dog must not be provoked. It was the dominator of the entire zoo area.
Bai Wu did not force it. His gaze was quickly drawn to something else. freёwebnovel.com
Where the lion had trodden, there was a pile of mechanical debris, the bodies of antelopes and deer were trampled and shattered.
Machine cores lay scattered aside, seeming unable to self-repair their bodies due to the distance from the body being too far, but they did not transform into flesh and blood bodies like that snake did.
"This is a chance to observe Evil Fallen up close."
Mechanized Evil Fallen, genetically mutated Evil Fallen, these two distinct aspects, could they imply...
That the apocalypse of that year actually involved two different forces?
