Chapter 463 - 463 Heavy Casualties

463 Heavy Casualties

The legend of the plesiosaur suddenly appeared in Wu Mo’s mind.

He had heard many legends about the mysterious water monster plesiosaurus, but did such creatures exist in real life?

Wu Mo’s heart was filled with doubt.

The plesiosaurus was once a type of aquatic dinosaur, and it should have gone extinct long ago.

However, the ancient creature before him was completely different from any modern creature. Even the closest in terms of appearance looked very different from it.

Wu Mo temporarily put this idea to the back of his mind and decided to go to his parents’ house to enjoy some delicious food at night.

He would always miss his parents’ cooking.

Furthermore, he planned on taking a few days off and taking Shen Qingya out to relax.

Work-life balance was very important to him.

In his parents’ home, he tasted delicious food, and Wu Mo chatted with his parents while they had some tea.

Now, not only did his parents look youthful, but they also had young minds.

The spontaneity of their chats made Wu Mo feel close to them, as if they were friends of the same age as him.

This change made Wu Mo very confident in Life First’s popularity.

However, at this moment, the alarm from the base in the distance pierced through the peaceful atmosphere.

The moment Wu Mo heard the alarm, he stood up, bade farewell to his parents, and rushed back to the base.

When he arrived at the meeting room, Wu Mo found that almost all the higher-ups were present. It was obvious that something major had happened.

The doubt in his heart intensified. The old general was still presiding over the meeting. There were a few important officers beside him. Their expressions were serious, and the atmosphere in the entire meeting room was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.

Right then, no one spoke. Everyone was waiting to solve this mystery.

Everyone seemed to know the truth.

They lowered their heads and tapped their fingers on the table. Their faces revealed thoughtful and introspective expressions.

Wu Mo found a seat and sat down as well. The R&D staff behind him had given him a hint.

He could feel the urgency in the atmosphere from their gazes and knew that something major must have happened!

The old chief looked unprecedentedly serious too.

The old chief made a gesture, and his a.s.sistant immediately turned on the projector.

Wu Mo’s eyes widened when he saw the scene.

The projector showed nine pictures of the Maritime Agency’s soldiers, who were suffering endless pain.

Some soldiers had lost their arms, some had lost their legs, and a soldier had even been dragged into the sea by a monster, never to be seen again.

The b.l.o.o.d.y background of the photo painted a terrible tragedy.

In an instant, all the officers lowered their heads.

Wu Mo’s eyes became teary. He had never seen such a scene before. These were the best warriors in China!

They had fearlessly gone out to sea to carry out their mission. In the face of unknown undersea creatures, they suffered such bad luck.

Wu Mo remembered that he was the one who had suggested that a company be stationed there to monitor the movements of the underwater creatures at all times.

Now, something had unexpectedly happened!

“Two hours ago, our outstanding soldiers were attacked by an unknown creature at the bottom of the sea!”

“Half of the monster’s head was exposed, and it was covered in thick golden scales. It’s strong enough to block electromagnetic guns and the most advanced submachine rifles at close range. Everyone here can see what happened next.”

At this point, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more depressing.

No one thought that the monster’s scales could block firearms and kill soldiers wantonly under the cover of fire.

One could only imagine the despair in their hearts when they were faced with the threat of death!

Even the most trusted weapons in their hands were useless, and they could only watch as their comrades fell one by one before them.

This was undoubtedly a humiliation, an unbearable shame for them!

When had these outstanding soldiers ever suffered such a blow? If this matter were to spread, where would China’s prestige go?

Forget prestige, the people present would not be able to bear the regret in their hearts!

At this moment, everyone was extremely furious. They wished they could immediately send the most advanced cruisers to the area of the wreckage to capture that hateful sea monster.

The projector showed the closest photo of the sea monster to date.

“Everyone, this photo was taken by our brave soldiers during their last moments!”

The projector showed a huge head covered in golden scales.

Its eyes were shaped like green beans, and they emitted a terrifying ferocity.

There were still fragments of various fish carca.s.ses between its dense teeth in its inverted triangular-shaped mouth.

“It was this monster that hurt our warriors! Its strength is roughly equivalent to an early six-star cultivator.”

A muscular officer clenched his fist, which made a crisp sound.

At this moment, Wu Mo noticed that the creature was indeed different from anything they had seen. It did not look like any other species in the world.

Eventually, a famous paleontologist walked in.

He was already in his sixties. He adjusted his gla.s.ses and observed the scene carefully. After he cleared his throat twice, he slowly said, “This creature is somewhat similar to the ancient dinosaurs. To a.n.a.lyze it accurately, we may need to capture a certain number of samples.”

A remnant of an ancient dinosaur?

Wu Mo could not help but be shocked. Could it be that the dinosaurs that were once the overlords of the Earth were not completely extinct?

There were actually descendants?

“But didn’t the ancient dinosaurs go completely extinct?” an officer could not help but ask. If they’ve existed, then why haven’t their huge bodies been discovered?”

” Yes.” The paleontologist nodded and replied,” The ocean world is vast and boundless. There are many unknown areas. It’s very likely that there have been descendants of plesiosaurs in the ocean. This is a common consensus in paleobiology.”

Only then did everyone understand that it might be a descendant of a plesiosaur.

When they observed the image again and combined it with a previous full-body image. It indeed had similar characteristics.

“I hope you’ll find a way to obtain a specimen of this creature so that it will be much easier to identify its true ident.i.ty!”

The old chief nodded and issued his order seriously.

Obviously, the casualties of the soldiers were a heavy blow to him!

When else had such an ambitious old chief ever suffered such embarra.s.sment?

Wu Mo thought to himself that the old chief might send people to the sea area where the accident would happen next. The intensity of this operation would definitely be much greater than before!

As expected, the old chief issued an order that surprised Wu Mo. He was sending genetically-enhanced warriors to the sea area to increase the intensity of their attacks.

After some observation, the drug in these genetically-enhanced warriors were performing well. It was time for them to go on an expedition for China!

At first, the old chief had planned to wait for these soldiers to reach a sufficient scale before they were given priority to deal with the foreign races in the Nine Provinces.

Now that the situation was urgent, there was no harm in letting them test their might on these monsters first.

All parties attached great importance when selecting the elite warriors to carry out special missions in the shipwreck area.

That was because the outstanding company of soldiers had encountered an unknown creature and suffered heavy casualties!

They could see that the unknown creature’s combat strength was extremely powerful, so they had to be careful.

Otherwise, future soldiers would be defeated and encounter similar incidents.

The old chief specifically sought Wu Mo’s opinion on the matter.
