Chapter 459 Fukushima
Elbert chased after it.
He found the mutated electric catfish hiding among the rocks.
The creature was trembling with fear.
Elbert had been pursuing it relentlessly because he had noticed something strange.
On the head of the mutated electric catfish was a device the size of a suitcase, fixed to its skull with thick steel nails!
The catfish was now too scared to move.
Elbert approached slowly.
He saw that the device was fully insulated and had the words "Dominion Device No. 2" written in Arcturus script.
Signed: EGG Monster Research Institute.
Robert quickly searched and found that EGG was a rumored department specializing in the study of various strange creatures, but it had no significant achievements and was considered useless by many.
Elbert opened the box.
Inside, he saw complex circuit modules.
Robert analyzed instantly, "Positioning system, neurotoxin system, communication system... Wow, the Arcturus people discovered these mutated creatures long ago and tried to control them!"
"But their equipment has failed; the transmitter is broken!"
Then, Elbert's perspective showed a news segment.
Two years ago, a high-precision signal transmission ship from Arcturus near the area was attacked by a giant sea beast, causing the entire ship to sink with no survivors!
Of course, the news was later dismissed as a rumor by the Arcturus authorities.
Elbert understood everything instantly.
Arcturus had discovered these mutated creatures and tried to control them with technology, but the creatures fought back fiercely, leading to the failure of their plan!
Robert said, "The principle of these devices is bio-mimetic transmission. I'll try to take over, but it requires hacking the firewall and decrypting their language codes... It's a bit challenging."
One second later.
Robert said, "Done!"
Elbert nodded and issued the first command to the mutated electric catfish, translated and transmitted by Robert, "Straighten your body."
With a loud rumble, the water churned, and the rocks behind were shattered by the catfish's tail as it straightened its body.
Elbert smiled slightly, crushed the neurotoxin module in the catfish's device, and closed the lid.
"From now on, I won't coerce you. Will you follow my orders?"
The catfish nodded.
Elbert was not only incredibly powerful but also emitted a significant amount of radiation!
The device transmitted the command.
The catfish complied!
Elbert nodded slightly, "Go to the waters near Phantom Island and guard it!"
The mutated electric catfish didn't hesitate and dove into the deep sea!
Elbert turned around, "And you, what are you looking at? Want to become sashimi?"
Behind Elbert was a colossal kraken, hundreds of feet long!
It was glaring at him!
It also had an EGG control box on its head!
This creature was the one responsible for sinking the Arcturus signal ship!
The kraken was puzzled, staring for a long time, its tentacles writhing!
It floated in the dark water, its massive body making Elbert look like an ant!
Elbert narrowed his eyes and released a powerful aura!
The kraken's tentacles twitched!
It felt that the tiny human in front of it was invincible!
Sashimi?
It seemed to understand!
Instantly, it abandoned its suicidal thoughts and followed the mutated electric catfish!
"Smart squid," Elbert said, stretching slightly and leaping out of the water.
Even he hadn't expected that in the short time he spent finding food for Willow, he would tame two mutated sea monsters!
Arcturus sure was hospitable!
Next target: Stellar Nuclear Facility!
The plan was crystal clear. The shells of the two reactors at Stellar Nuclear Facility were cracked.
Arcturus's power company had been using freshwater for physical cooling!
This was a makeshift solution that temporarily suppressed the reactors.
But it produced massive amounts of nuclear-contaminated wastewater!
Initially, Arcturus discharged nearly tens of thousands of pounds of nuclear wastewater into the ocean, causing widespread pollution.
Under pressure from various parties, they switched to land storage, building large water tanks near the nuclear plant.
In these huge tanks, there was an independent pressure relief chamber where all the wastewater was periodically transferred for radiation testing by technicians.
Elbert planned to install oscillators near the reactors to accelerate nuclear material decay and increase radiation release.
He himself would enter the pressure relief chamber.
Using the radioactive wastewater, he would absorb the radiation.
Of course, Robert had already hacked into the nuclear plant's monitoring system.
They monitored all the data.
But since five minutes ago, the monitoring personnel only saw the data Elbert wanted them to see.
Twenty minutes later, everything was ready.
Elbert entered the pressure relief chamber, using liquid metal to build a bridge in the air, setting up the decay weakening system around him.
Below him, the nuclear wastewater flowed, emitting astonishing radiation.
Elbert closed his eyes.
His body functions began to operate rapidly.
A large amount of deadly radiation started to pour into his body.
Meanwhile, in a monitoring room inside the nuclear plant.
A staff member tapped the screen in front of him, looking puzzled, "Why do I see a human figure in the pressure relief chamber on the infrared monitor?"
An engineer nearby walked over, "That's impossible, right?"
The two approached the screen and looked closely.
The red figure in the pressure relief chamber had indeed disappeared.
The engineer shook his head, "I told you, you're overreacting. How could anyone be in there?"
"The radiation there is at least 10,000 roentgens!"
"If someone really walked in there, the rate of cell mutation would exceed the rate of self-healing by 500 times!"
"Disease would erupt instantly, leading to immediate death!"
"No one can survive there for more than a minute!"
"You think the Hulk really exists?"
The staff member scratched his head, "But I clearly saw a figure just now."
The engineer laughed, "How about we go to the bar after work tonight? I think you need some whiskey and a strip show!"
These two had no idea that under the influence of Elbert's oscillator, the radiation levels in the reactor had already skyrocketed.
Five days later.
Elbert's eyelids twitched slightly.
The radiation carried by the nuclear wastewater below him was decreasing, and the energy of the two leaking reactors was almost depleted.
In his view, his own DNA had undergone astonishing changes.
From the previous second stage of the gene lock at 82%, it had risen to 99.9%.
But that 0.1% had remained unchanged for 30 hours, no matter what he did.
However, there was one unexpected change.
His 99.9% variable DNA had become more complex, as if his previous DNA had a shadow, forming a double helix.
Robert said, "The known DNA structures have four levels. The first level is single-celled organisms, the second is the double helix, representing intelligent beings like humans."
"And now, you tend to enter the third level of super-helix DNA, with enhanced DNA molecules and structural rearrangement."
"This is the embryonic form of advanced life!"
Robert appeared, covering his face in surprise, "I didn't expect this result. Are you becoming a new species?"
Elbert was also amazed, "So, I'm the only one with third-level DNA in the world right now?"
"No!"
"There are many such life forms!"
Robert continued, "Those indestructible, infinitely reproducing viruses that can survive in various harsh environments also have this DNA structure!"
"Like the flu."
"Pneumonia."
"Some have even survived since the dinosaur era!"
Elbert was speechless.
Robert said, "Don't underestimate these super-helix DNAs. Small doesn't mean weak!"
Elbert sighed slightly, "I wonder how my control over special abilities is now?"
Robert said, "Hmm, hard to say. This is a fundamental change, and there's no data to measure it. The only certainty is that you've definitely become stronger!"
Elbert's eyes flashed, "The vast Tack Desert is perfect for testing!"
