Chapter 070 I've Become Human?
While the US was still discussing and undecided...
On this side of the cherry blossoms, inside the crater.
It wasn't as unbearably hot as outsiders might imagine, at least not for Lin Fan.
At that moment, he felt as if he had returned to his mother's womb, warm, sticky, and full of a sense of security.
The dark red magma surrounding them was not only a carrier of heat, but also more like a highly concentrated nutrient solution.
With each breath he took, the violent geothermal energy greedily seeped into his body through the open pores of his skin.
His body, like a sponge, continuously and frantically absorbed this enormous energy.
As for him, he had already fallen asleep in this warm embrace.
She even couldn't help but turn over in extreme comfort.
However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't turn over.
This sudden turn of events threw the underground magma chamber, which had been maintaining a delicate balance, into complete chaos.
At this moment, the volcano is like a pressure cooker with excessive pressure, and Lin Fan is the valve that is blocking the pressure cooker's vent.
It's the kind that doesn't emit exhaust gas.
But with his turning over and stirring things up...
The pressure inside the pressure cooker finally reached its peak, and the pot exploded.
And then, the world outside seemed to collapse.
……
The edge of the crater.
Two squid, who were dreaming of evolution, suddenly shuddered.
The countless strange eyeballs on their bodies darted around wildly at the same time, revealing a kind of fear stemming from the creature's instinct for danger.
"Chirp!!!" (Hey bro, something's not right! The wind's blowing fast, let's get out of here!)
Sensing something was wrong, the giant squid let out a strange cry and immediately pulled out its tentacles that were embedded in the rock to absorb heat.
Without saying a word, it wrapped its tentacles into a giant ball of flesh and rolled straight down the mountain.
This scene left the little squid standing nearby completely stunned.
This guy's walking style is so unique!
It was just about to ask its older brother what was going on.
Boom! ...
A terrifying, muffled sound erupted from inside the crater behind it.
Followed by.
The entire volcano seemed to jump.
That's right, it was a physical "jump".
In an instant, this volcano, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, seemed to turn into a powder keg about to explode.
The snow that originally covered the mountain surface was shattered in an instant, turning into a massive avalanche.
But this is just the beginning.
next second.
The shaking mountainside was cracked open with several large fissures, which spread outwards from the crater like a wildly growing spider web towards the foot of the mountain...
……
The changes at Mount Fuji were immediately transmitted to Osaka via drone footage.
"Report...Report!"
The staff who had been monitoring the volcano's movements shouted in terror.
"This is terrible! The gravity constant in the area surrounding Mount Fuji is abnormal! The Earth's tectonic plates are... are fracturing!"
Even without the staff member saying it, everyone could see the changes to Mount Fuji through the footage transmitted back by the drone.
Tanaka, who had been suffering a series of setbacks, was now numb.
"Let's get straight to the result. Is it about to erupt?"
"No...it wasn't an eruption..."
The monitor stared at the red alert on the screen, which had almost turned into a straight line, his face ashen.
"It's a collapse! When that happens, it won't just be the entire Shizuoka area..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
The scene he described had already begun to play on the large screen on the conference room wall.
Then, the volcano that symbolized the spiritual totem of their country suddenly cracked open with the tremors.
And it's not the kind of slow, gradual cracking.
Instead, it looked as if someone had cleaved it in two with a giant axe.
Moreover, the crack extended all the way to the coast...
In an instant, a large amount of seawater rushed in and collided with the magma gushing from the ground.
laugh--! ! !
The white steam instantly enveloped the area for miles around.
Beneath the steam, the entire island nation seemed to groan in agony.
"Help!"
"The ground cracked open! The car fell through!"
The residents of the towns surrounding the foot of the volcano, who were being evacuated, were all terrified by this sudden turn of events.
These people were running around like headless flies.
Everything around seemed to be vibrating.
The tectonic plates fractured, and the asphalt road cracked.
Those old houses collapsed like building blocks, falling into bottomless cracks.
The road in front of the disaster victims who were driving away frantically suddenly rose up and turned into a high wall, so that they didn't even have time to step on the brakes and crashed into it.
This is the power of nature.
Or rather, this is the power of Lin Fan turning the tables.
Amidst this chaotic ruin, two peculiar sights stand out.
Those two enormous mutated squid.
At this moment, the two evolved sea monsters wrapped themselves up in their tentacles and rolled around frantically.
Correct,
It's rolling!
The two sea monsters, like two enormous lion heads, were rolling wildly toward the nearest shore.
To be honest, it's good that we evolved brains.
Even their escape routes are so unique!
These two silly fools didn't care what was in front of them.
Houses? Smash them!
Cars? Smash them!
The woods? Level them!
At this moment, they have only one goal.
That's the ocean!
In this frantic shaking mode, only the ocean can offer them a sense of security.
However, the earth collapsed much faster than they had imagined.
click-
It was accompanied by a tooth-grinding bang.
The entire tectonic plate where Shizuoka is located has been completely separated from Honshu Island.
The massive landmass, like a slice of cake, began to slowly slide down into the deep trench.
This scene is very similar to the apocalyptic scene in the movie "2012".
Seawater surged wildly into the fracture zone, forming a terrifying whirlpool.
"grumble!!!"
Just then, the little squid running behind let out a scream.
The ground beneath its feet suddenly collapsed, and the ball struck the fractured tectonic plate, bouncing back and leaving it suspended in mid-air.
Below are churning lava and scalding hot seawater.
If it falls in, it'll definitely become a boiled squid.
However, at this critical moment...
A thick tentacle suddenly stretched out and tightly wrapped around its head.
It's a giant squid.
Although this guy likes to bully his underlings, he's really loyal to them right now.
Its other tentacles wrapped around any nearby objects that could be secured, and then it used several other tentacles to pull its little brother up like a radish.
"Squeak—" (Get out of here if you don't want to become a teppanyaki grill!)
then.
These two are taking advantage of the huge benefits brought about by the decline in the stock market.
Following the landmass plate that had tilted at a 45-degree angle, it rolled wildly toward the sea.
Whoosh-!
The two enormous black spheres, like wheels of fire, plunged into the turbulent Pacific Ocean in just a few breaths.
Pfft!Pfft!
The two squid were so moved that they almost cried when they entered the water.
It's still better in the water!
It's too dangerous on land, I'll never go ashore again in my life!
……
The two sea monsters successfully entered the sea.
But the land behind them suffered!
A massive earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale swept across the entire country of cherry blossoms in an instant.
Although the epicenter was Shizuoka, which was slowly sinking into the sea, the tremors were felt throughout the entire island.
The ruins of Tokyo were plowed up once again.
Even the temporary government building in Osaka was shaken so badly that it was on the verge of collapse, with shattered glass everywhere.
It can be said that disasters are everywhere on the entire island.
"It's over...it's all over..."
Tanaka lay under the table, clutching his head, his face filled with despair.
Just now, a piece of the map of Japan was missing.
And he, who was temporarily pushed into the position of scapegoat, has become a king who brought about the downfall of his country.
Right now,
The world's attention is once again focused on this land.
However, at this moment, a large area has been transformed into part of the ocean.
On the satellite cloud image, the landmass that was originally protruding has now turned into a deep blue.
The seawater was still churning violently and billowing white smoke.
Clearly, the underground heat source had not been extinguished.
Eagle, White Palace.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the footage transmitted back by the drone.
"This...this is what you call carbon-based life forms that can be dealt with with nuclear bombs?"
The president pointed at the screen and roared at the Secretary of Defense:
"Tell me, how does this thing resemble a carbon-based life form?"
What kind of carbon-based life form could sink the land?!
The Minister of Defense wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, speechless.
Who the hell would have thought that!
Logically speaking, that monster absorbed so much energy, it should have either died from overeating or not, right?
But now,
Both drone footage and energy responses monitored by the data department prove that the monster is still alive.
Do not,
Not only are they alive, but the fluctuations in their vital signs are becoming increasingly stronger.
……
Hundreds of meters deep in the ocean.
The land fragments that were originally sunk to the seabed are now lying quietly on the seabed, and the surrounding seawater is boiling due to the high temperature, forming a huge natural bubble.
And in the center of that bubble.
An oval-shaped boulder formed from cooled magma lies there quietly.
From a distance, it looks like a giant black egg.
thump.
thump.
thump.
Just then, a powerful heartbeat came from inside the giant egg.
With each heartbeat, the surrounding seawater trembled.
"Chirp—" (Big brother, that aura...it sounds like the boss! Why is the boss an egg?)
Just then, two huge black shadows swam by.
The smaller figure stopped when it saw the giant black egg.
"Chirp—" (It seems so, but why is the boss turned into an egg? Oh well, it's too hot here, I need to take the boss away quickly...)
After a brief exchange, the two silly creatures, enduring the high temperature, swam to the giant egg, then entangled and dragged each other...
Drag him away and run!
Ok?
Inside the giant egg, Lin Fan opened his eyes.
He moved his neck, making a cracking sound as his bones popped.
"I slept so well, but my whole body aches."
He had barely muttered a word when he was startled by the scene before him.
"Wait, where is this place?"
Lin Fan turned his head and looked around. All around him were cliffs glowing with fluorescent light.
There is no exit.
Where am I?
I'm not inside a volcano...
However, before he could figure out what was going on, he was drawn to something else.
He looked at his hands in disbelief.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the thick scales or sharp claws I had in mind.
Although it was still covered with a thin layer of black keratin.
But this outline... these joints... these five fingers...
It's clearly a human hand!
He touched his face again.
It has no prominent snout and no mouthful of fangs.
All that's left is a sharply defined jawline, and... slightly rough skin...
Have I turned back into a human?
Rumbling--
however,
He didn't even have time to feel joy.
The space around them began to shake violently.
Then, before he could regain his composure, the world began to spin...
"Holy crap—where am I?"
