Chapter 279 Opening That Door
But its eyes emitted a faint, eerie light, like a demon peering into the human heart, sending chills down the spine.
It once had an owner named Song Zhibin!
It once had a wish: to live together with its master.
But now, its wish had long since changed.
It was fortunate, because of its status as a Beast King, it wasn't subjected to the forced injection of data into its brain like Song Zhibin was within the research institute. The researchers believed that humans were easier to communicate with and control.
But it was also unfortunate.
During their escape, Song Zhibin not only uploaded half of his information into its brain but also conveyed his intense hatred for humanity!
Thus, this Beast King, which had not initially hated humans, began to despise them, just like its master.
At the border, Song Zhibin used himself as a decoy to distract the military police, creating an opportunity for it to escape. It carried Song Zhibin's strong desire for revenge against humanity to the sea.
Initially, even it didn't know where its destination lay, or how it should seek revenge against humanity.
But now, its gaze swept across the dark abyss below, sensing the terrifying cluster of brainwave fluctuations from thousands of meters below the sea. It knew it had found the right path!
The abyss below was its destination!
"Kindred..." The cyan turtle's brain emitted a strong brainwave signal as its body slowly sank into the abyss below.
Around it were countless mutated beast corpses in gruesome states, which should have filled it with fear. But at this moment, its brain was filled only with excitement!
The massive strait was like a spiraling corridor, and the brainwave signals were reflected and amplified by the terrain. As the cyan turtle descended, the electromagnetic field rapidly spread wildly throughout the strait.
Buzz!
An invisible vibration echoed beneath the sea, and the silt at the bottom of the abyss surged madly, like a precursor to the earth's crust cracking!
Pairs of eyes, some fierce, some cold, opened beneath the silt, shaking off the covering debris. The Beast Kings' enormous bodies reappeared in the abyss!
"Roar!"
"Woo..."
Long, drawn-out howls echoed in the abyss. After nearly twenty days of slumber, the Beast Kings had awakened once more.
Nearly ten thousand Beast Kings filled almost the entire abyss. They fixed their coldest, most brutal gazes on the cyan turtle above, roaring in anger.
The Sea Demon's order was to slumber, reduce energy consumption, and remain as inconspicuous as possible, so as not to attract human attention!
And this cyan turtle had clearly violated the Sea Demon's command.
Beast Kings could also devour each other. Although there was the Sea Demon's deterrence, it seemed that being devoured completely was the fate of this cyan turtle, which had clearly violated the "commandments."
Many Beast Kings surged menacingly towards the cyan turtle.
But at that moment, a sharp, overbearing cry came from the depths of the abyss.
The Beast Kings scattered obediently, like sheep meeting a lion, sticking to the stone walls of the abyss and clearing a wide passage.
The Sea Demon appeared before the cyan turtle, extended a finger, and made a strange sound in its throat.
"Qika... Sisi, wudi shen... (Why disturb the clan's slumber?)"
Beast Kings had not yet developed a common language, but the Sea Demon's "domination" divine descent ability was enough for the Beast Kings to understand its orders and questions!
The cyan turtle stared at the Sea Demon and slowly closed its eyes. An extremely powerful brainwave electromagnetic field rapidly enveloped the Sea Demon.
The Sea Demon did not stop it; it could tell that this fellow creature harbored no malicious intent towards it.
As this brainwave electromagnetic field connected to the Sea Demon's brain, countless images and messages flooded in like a tide.
The Sea Demon's exquisite face suddenly became distorted, as if enduring great pain!
Boom!
The surrounding Beast Kings became restless. The Sea Demon's brain was stimulated, and its divine descent ability began to be released somewhat uncontrollably. But it quickly realized its abnormality and forcibly severed the connection with the cyan turtle's brain.
Because the cyan turtle was not invading the Sea Demon's brain, the connection between the two brains was easily broken.
The Sea Demon lowered its head. In just those few seconds, countless images and messages had appeared in its brain. It saw the true human world!
There were no Planet-Destroying Cannons!
There were no Megatrons!
There were no Planetary Prisons!
There were no Brave Fighters!
There was only infighting between great powers, and conflict between humans!
People drove steel monsters, dropping shells on their own kind's settlements!
On battlefields filled with flying artillery fire, humans slaughtered each other with weapons!
Missiles with long tails of flame ascended, landing in cities thousands of kilometers away, turning everything into scorched earth!
Giant mushroom clouds rose from the ground, turning the land into a wasteland!
The Sea Demon seemed to understand something, and anger at being deceived appeared on its face.
This was the true level of human technology!
Compared to the previous crude images, the information conveyed by the cyan turtle, with various detailed data, was clearly more credible.
It understood that the strongest weapon of humans was called nuclear weapons! Anything beyond nuclear weapons was just a virtual concept!
At the same time, it also understood that humans were not as terrifying or indestructible as it had imagined!
Beast Kings feared nuclear weapons, and humans feared nuclear weapons just as much!
From the day humans created nuclear weapons, these terrifying weapons had only been used once in war!
Moreover, in seawater, the power of these weapons would be limited to the minimum!
The sea itself was a natural layer of protection.
A strange laugh echoed from the bottom of the abyss.
The Sea Demon's long hair danced wildly as it opened its arms, laughing wantonly, as if mocking its previous deception and rejoicing for the future of the Sea Beasts!
It issued new orders to the Beast Kings.
The Beast Kings did not need to continue their slumber!
Beneath the abyss, the Beast Kings' violent figures surged out wildly, like hungry ghosts from the depths of hell being released!
The cyan turtle remained silent, slowly swimming towards the Sea Demon and calmly landing in its palm.
...
On this day, naval monitoring stations around the world detected signs of activity from the long-dormant Beast Kings.
Everyone was puzzled, unable to understand why the Beast King group had chosen to slumber before, and why they had lifted their slumber on this day.
To this end, research centers in many countries wanted to capture a Sea Beast King to analyze its brain, trying to unlock the secret of this "group behavior."
Many scholars had fierce debates over this, believing that this phenomenon was a "physical defect" or "group defect" of the Beast Kings, and that they needed to slumber for a period of time after each period of activity to recover their strength!
Others believed that the reason for this phenomenon was that the Beast Kings were undergoing a second mutation, and the Beast Kings that reawakened would be even more terrifying!
Research centers around the world were arguing fiercely about this issue.
But no one would ever know that the reason for this "group" activity was just because of two creatures.
The Beast Kings were a group of evil ghosts locked inside the gates of hell. Li Tianchen had fortunately closed the gate, but today, the cyan turtle opened it again!
And most importantly, the cyan turtle not only opened the gate but also dismantled the door frame along with it. From this day on, no one would be able to lock these evil ghosts inside the gate again...
