Chapter 426 Hai City
Li Tianran was amazed by the fighting power displayed by the EU evolvers, but he wasn't too disappointed. After all, behind them stood the world's leading power, and with the support of various top-notch equipment, achieving such a record was acceptable.
If the evolvers of other world powers showed the same combat capabilities as this EU team, then defeating the Beast Kings didn't seem like an impossible task.
Seemingly encouraged by the EU's successful start, the world's powerful nations began to have their nascent evolver teams carry out extermination missions one after another.
Just after the EU evolver force crushed a city's Beast King, that afternoon, the Russian evolver team set off into a land-based beast nest, killing nearly a hundred Beast Kings and more than two thousand mutated beasts. Dozens of Beast Kings fled in disarray, completely defeated!
This victory greatly encouraged humanity, which had been continuously shrinking its territory since the world's transformation. Everyone saw the hope of victory.
After defeating the beast tide, the EU and Russia also obtained a large number of Beast King corpses. The flesh and bones of these Beast Kings were extremely precious, and some special Beast King bones and skins could be made into weapons and armor. Their toughness and sharpness were no less than any known alloy material in the world.
There were even rumors that the Beast Kings could be tried as a new energy source.
In the current situation of mineral shortages, this Beast King new energy was undoubtedly a resource that many countries would compete for. As a result, many countries chose to use some of their accumulated minerals to build evolver teams, abandoning some industrial and even traditional weapons supply lines.
This extreme tilting of resources was very abnormal, because it was almost a do-or-die behavior. Once it failed, it would be irreversible. However, because of the two performances of the EU and Russian evolver teams, many people felt that investing in evolvers was the most correct thing to do. Traditional weapons were destined to be eliminated, and the current reserves of traditional weapons were enough to support the evolver forces on their own, so there was no need to continue to replenish them.
Li Tianran looked at these news reports without feeling too surprised.
After all, the current situation was like many heroes vying for supremacy. The evolver force would be the main force in the future. Whoever could build the strongest and fiercest evolver force now would rule the Blue Planet in the future.
The EU had made its fortune by selling arms during the World War, and then it got out of control, sitting in the position of overlord for hundreds of years.
In terms of technology and weapons, almost no country could surpass the EU, and no one could shake its position.
But now the world had undergone new changes, and several powerful countries were once again standing on the same starting line. Whoever could build the strongest evolver force in the shortest time and lay the foundation would be the strongest king in the future.
No one would give up this opportunity.
Even the Yanhuang Federation abandoned the plans for two giant wind and hydro power stations, and invested all the resources originally used for construction into evolver research. In addition, it also requisitioned steel and medicine from all over the country, and dismantled a large number of armories and heavy factories, almost abandoning all traditional technology.
Because the new weapons and equipment required for evolver research required far more resource investment than the already streamlined traditional equipment. Even a powerful country like the EU could not support two lines at the same time.
In this case, the traditional weapons and technological power of the entire Blue Planet were completely cut off, and with the attacks of the beast tide, weapon reserves were rapidly declining.
A large number of evolver research labs, training grounds, and individual weapon research institutes were established.
All countries painfully cut off their once proud traditional weapons manufacturing lines, all hoping that the evolver forces could bring a new miracle to the country and humanity.
...
Lu Chi walked in a pile of ruins. After two days of sailing, he was now standing in a sea city five thousand kilometers away from Kuangxi Island. This place belonged to a small country, and it had also established a shelter at the beginning of the world's changes, but due to insufficient firepower, the shelter had long been captured by the Beast Kings and mutated beasts.
However, there were still living people in this sea city. They were hiding deep in the shelter that had been ravaged by sea beasts. Not long ago, the survivors in this sea city had also used communicators to ask for help from the outside world, but they had not received any response.
These survivors were Lu Chi's target. After all, only to people in desperate situations is kindness the most valuable.
However, it had been seven days since the last news report about this matter, and Lu Chi didn't know if the people in the sea city shelter were still alive.
The city was like a ruin, full of mutated beasts and human corpses, and some exposed steel bars were twisted. The collapsed walls were covered with frozen blood, looking like a hell.
Lu Chi took out a signal waveband meter and tried to search for whether there were still distress signals coming out.
"Di Di Di!"
The waveband meter showed that there was a weak signal spreading outward in a certain direction.
Lu Chi glanced at that direction and saw the collapsed high shelter wall.
At this time, the regular signal fluctuations on the signal waveband meter proved that there must be a creature controlling the communicator to transmit a distress signal to the outside world.
It seemed that the other party was still alive.
Lu Chi jumped up and traveled like the wind in the ruins. Suddenly, accompanied by a sharp roar, several mutated beasts with hideous limbs and covered in mucus rushed out of the corner of the ruins and bit at Lu Chi.
Bang!
Lu Chi flashed in the air, stepped on the wall of the ruins next to him with his left foot, and his right leg swung down like a whip, directly hitting the head of a mutated beast, and blasting its head on the spot!
Bang bang bang!
After kicking a head, Lu Chi quickly took out a pistol, fired five shots in a row, and directly smashed the bodies of the mutated beasts that rushed out!
Each of these mutated beasts was as big as a rhinoceros, but at this time they were easily torn apart like paper, and pieces of corpses were scattered all over the ground, and a fishy smell instantly filled the air.
Lu Chi pushed open the magazine of the revolver in his hand and took out five large and somewhat abnormal bullet casings.
Since becoming an evolver, he had become more and more fond of his physical strength, but he didn't like to fight directly with these unintelligent and dirty mutated beasts, so he carried an M500 pistol with him to replace his former weapon... the hammer.
This was the most powerful pistol in human history, and it could blow an elephant's head with one shot, which was most suitable for dealing with these mutated beasts.
Lu Chi expressionlessly inserted bullets into the magazine. This sea city was very dangerous. Although he had not seen the trace of the Beast King, there were a large number of mutated beasts. He had already seen many corpses of mutated beasts along the way.
The sound of gunfire and the smell of gunpowder would soon attract the surrounding mutated beasts. Lu Chi didn't want to get entangled with these monsters, and he soon disappeared in place.
