Hand over Godzilla, and countries will beg me to eat nuclear waste.

The perimeter cordon of the Baijiang Nuclear Power Plant.

Zhan Kuang stood beside the command vehicle, looking at the radiation zone enclosed by barbed wire not far away.

"Lieutenant Luo Yu, the objective of this mission is very clear." He pointed to the area shrouded in dim light in the distance: "Clear all the mutated beasts in the radiation zone, and then let Godzilla absorb the radiation from the core area."

"understood."

Luo Yu nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Radiation zones are divided into three levels."

Zhan Kuang continued, reminding everyone, "The radiation level in the outer area is a thousand times the normal value, in the middle area it's five thousand times, and in the core area it's over ten thousand times. Most mutated beasts are active in the outer and middle areas. The core area is too dangerous; only some slightly higher-level mutated beasts go there."

"it is good."

Luo Yu understood the situation and asked, "Do I need to wear protective clothing?"

"According to the rules, you must wear it." Zhan Kuang glanced at him and said meaningfully, "If you feel it's unnecessary, we can make an exception."

"unnecessary."

Luo Yu grinned and shook his head decisively, "Radiation is no threat to me or Godzilla."

"it is good."

Zhan Kuang was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Then take care of yourself."

"Wait a minute."

Just then, Su Qingxue stepped forward: "Reporting to the general, I request permission to accompany Lieutenant Luo Yu into the radiation zone."

"Um?"

Zhan Kuang frowned and asked, "Do you know the radiation level inside?"

"I know." Su Qingxue said calmly, "But I am an S-rank ice-type awakener. I can use an ice shield to block some of the radiation, so I can at least provide support in the outer areas."

"this……"

Zhan Kuang could only turn his gaze to Luo Yu, "What do you think?"

"Need not."

Luo Yu shrugged and said, "I can handle it all by myself."

"..."

A hint of displeasure appeared on Su Qingxue's pretty face.

She could tell what Luo Yu meant—he felt he would be a burden.

"Lieutenant Luo Yu, my duty is to protect your safety. Even if you don't need it, I must stay with you."

"Lieutenant Colonel Su, I know you are an S-class Awakened, very strong." Hearing this, Luo Yu turned around, looked directly into her eyes, and said in a serious tone, "But... the radiation zone is not an ordinary battlefield. Even an S-class Awakened can't last more than ten minutes in the core high-radiation area."

"I won't go into the core area," Su Qingxue said firmly. "At least I can help you clear out the mutated beasts on the outer perimeter."

"Whatever!"

Seeing Su Qingxue's stubbornness, Luo Yu compromised: "You can only stay on the periphery, not go deeper."

"Can."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Zhan Kuang nodded: "Then that's settled. Su Qingxue will follow Luo Yu into the outer area, and the rest of you will wait outside the cordon."

"yes!"

Five minutes later.

Luo Yu and Su Qingxue stood at the entrance to the radiation zone.

This used to be the staff passageway for the nuclear power plant, but it has now been sealed off, leaving only a heavy iron door.

The War Maniac personally opened the iron gate.

squeak-

Behind the door was complete darkness.

The air was filled with a pungent metallic and putrid smell.

Luo Yu took out a flashlight and shone it forward.

The passage is very long.

The walls on both sides were covered with black mold, and a layer of sticky liquid had accumulated on the ground.

"Let's go."

Luo Yu stepped inside.

Su Qingxue followed behind him, a thin layer of ice shield already forming on her body.

The iron gate closed behind them.

Darkness instantly engulfed the two of them.

Only the beam of the flashlight was swaying in front of me.

After walking about fifty meters, a broken door appeared at the end of the passage.

Luo Yu pushed open the door.

The sight before him stunned him for a moment.

This is a huge space that was originally intended to be the cooling water pool area of ​​a nuclear power plant.

but now,

The pool had dried up, revealing its cracked bottom.

The bottom of the pool is piled with a large amount of abandoned equipment and metal debris.

The most striking feature is the cracks in the wall, from which a green, fluorescent liquid seeps out and slowly flows down, forming small puddles on the ground.

"This is the radiation zone," Su Qingxue whispered, "That green liquid is highly concentrated radioactive water."

"Know."

Luo Yu took out a radiation detector and pointed it at the front.

Drip, drop, drop——

The instrument emitted a piercing alarm sound.

The numbers on the screen were jumping wildly.

1000...1500...2000...

"The radiation level is already two thousand times the normal value." Luo Yu put away the instruments and said, "We are now in the outer area. If we go any further, we will reach the middle area."

"Yeah?"

Su Qingxue took a deep breath.

She could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the air.

Even with the ice shield protecting me, I still started to feel unwell.

"How are you?"

"It's alright. S-class Awakened individuals have much stronger physical abilities than ordinary people, so they can withstand this amount of radiation."

Luo Yu didn't say anything more.

He put the little lizard on his shoulder on the ground.

"Godzilla, get to work."

The little lizard hissed excitedly.

Next second,

Its body began to swell.

Thirty centimeters... one meter... three meters...

In the blink of an eye,

The little lizard transformed into a three-meter-tall black behemoth covered in thick scales.

Su Qingxue's eyes widened.

This was the first time she had ever seen Godzilla in its battle form.

The oppressive aura emanating from the giant beast made her instinctively take a half-step back.

"This is... your pet beast?"

"That's right." Luo Yu patted Godzilla's leg. "Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only three meters long now. Once it's full, it can grow to fourteen meters."

Su Qingxue's throat tightened slightly.

Fourteen meters?

What does that mean?

A first-tier abyssal behemoth is only about ten meters tall.

suddenly,

A rustling sound came from afar.

Luo Yu and Su Qingxue turned their heads at the same time.

The flashlight beam was directed in the direction from which the sound came.

In the shadow of the abandoned equipment, dozens of green eyes lit up.

"It's a mutated rat," Su Qingxue whispered a reminder.

The voice just fell,

Those green eyes began to move.

Giant rats, each the size of a cat, crawled out of the shadows.

Their fur had fallen off, revealing rotting flesh and bare bones.

Glistening saliva dripped from its mouth.

squeak-

A piercing scream rang out.

Dozens of mutated rats rushed over at the same time.

"Watch out!" Su Qingxue raised her hand, and an ice spike condensed in her palm.

whoosh-

Ice cones shot out,

It ran through the mutated rat at the very front.

unfortunately,

The mutated rats behind them didn't care about their companion's death and continued to charge forward madly.

"Get out of the way."

Luo Yu's voice rang out.

Su Qingxue instinctively stepped aside.

Next second,

Godzilla pulled.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a pale blue light flickered deep in its throat.

boom--

A beam of high-temperature plasma shot out.

That's atomic breath.

The ray swept across the ground, and all the mutated rats that were hit were instantly reduced to ashes.

Even the ground was burned with a charred mark.

The whole process took less than a second.

Dozens of mutated rats,

Total annihilation.

Su Qingxue stood there, her mouth slightly open.

She knew Luo Yu's pet was strong, but she didn't expect it to be this strong.

Although those mutated rats were only E-level mutated beasts, their numbers were large and they were fearless, so even she would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with them.

But what about Godzilla?

One breath, and they were all instantly killed.

"Let's go."

Luo Yu's calm voice interrupted her thoughts: "This is just an appetizer; there's more to come."

Su Qingxue snapped out of her daze and followed.

The two continued walking forward.

The deeper you go, the higher the radiation level.

The fluorescent liquid on the ground was increasing, and the cracks in the walls were getting bigger.

A nauseating smell permeated the air.

"The radiation level is already three thousand." Luo Yu glanced at the detector. "We're almost at the middle level."

Su Qingxue did not speak.

She could feel her physical discomfort becoming more and more obvious.

The ice shield has begun to crack.

at this time,

A deep roar came from ahead.

Roar--

The sound was like the roar of a wild beast, or the scraping of metal.

Luo Yu stopped in his tracks.

Something's coming.

The voice just fell,

A huge black shadow lunged out of the darkness ahead.

It was a mutated dog, the size of an ox, covered in rotting fur, with its eyes flashing a crazy red light, and its fangs, which were twenty centimeters long, dripping with green saliva.

"A D-level mutated beast!" Su Qingxue's expression changed.

The strength of a D-level mutant beast is equivalent to that of a D-level Awakened, and because of its long-term exposure to radiation, its physical attributes are stronger than those of Awakened of the same level.

The mutated dog roared and pounced on Luo Yu.

Su Qingxue wanted to make a move, but Luo Yu stopped her.

"Need not."

Godzilla stepped forward and raised its massive forepaws.

Snapped--

He slapped the mutant dog on the head.

boom!

The mutant dog's head was slammed into the ground.

The ground cracked, and rubble flew everywhere. The mutated dog struggled a few times, then lay still.

Godzilla loosened its paws, lowered its head, opened its mouth, and began to absorb the radiation energy from the mutated dog's body.

hum! !

Green light surged from the mutated dog's body and was swallowed by Godzilla.

In just three seconds,

The mutated dog's body shriveled up and turned into a dried-up corpse.

[Ding! Pet has devoured a D-grade mutated beast, evolution rate +0.1%]

"Can."

Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Su Qingxue stared at this scene, her mind blank.

She finally understood,

Why is the military taking Luo Yu so seriously?

This ability... is practically tailor-made for the radiation zone, a million times better than any Awakened or Mech Pilot!

"Keep going."

The two continued forward.

On the road ahead,

They encountered several more waves of mutated beasts.

Mutant cats, mutant rats, mutant dogs... their numbers are increasing, and their levels are getting higher and higher.

But without exception, they were all crushed by the three-meter-tall Godzilla. Some were killed by a single claw, while others were burned to ashes by its atomic breath.

Su Qingxue's initial shock gradually turned into numbness.

She found herself completely useless.

Because in the radiation zone, even as an S-class Awakened, she was greatly restricted. But... without comparison, there is no harm. Those mutated beasts were as fragile as toys in front of Godzilla.

in other words,

Luo Yu's pet beast is the king of the radiation zone.
