21st Century Necromancer
Chapter 983 - 976 Families

Although things seemed urgent, Chen Yu did not go to the USS Iwo Jima immediately.

On one hand, Major General Claire had already suppressed those two mutant soldiers, and the situation was under control, so whether Chen Yu went early or late made no difference.

On the other hand, it was because Chen Yu was in a bad mood.

Anyone would be somewhat irritable if they were disturbed just as they were about to sleep, especially if their family was also woken up.

A normal person might hold it in, but who had the right to make Chen Yu tolerate it? Who had the ability to make him tolerate it?

Thus, no matter how anxious that US military combat staff was to find Chen Yu, he still turned around and went back to sleep instead of leaving with him immediately.

As the combat staff of what is considered and indeed is the world's number one military force, this officer had never encountered someone so disrespectful to the US military.

But there was nothing he could do about Chen Yu, because during the day he had already witnessed the prowess of Chen Yu as a demigod, as well as the might of him and Jounouchi Hiromi when dealing with the Giant Sea Monster.

He clearly knew that even if the entire Fifth Fleet's dual aircraft carrier battle group was deployed, it might not be able to deal with the Giant Sea Monster from that day, much less the Chen Yu couple who could subdue sea monsters.

Therefore, no matter how eager he was to grab a gun and drag Chen Yu onto a plane, this combat staff could only wait outside the villa.

Of course, the combat staff was not foolishly waiting; instead, he made a satellite phone call back to the fleet, informing Major General Claire and Colonel Marcus of the situation.

Upon receiving the call from the combat staff, Major General Claire and Colonel Marcus also had no solution. They clearly knew they did not have the ability to force Chen Yu, and he didn't need to give face to the United States, which undoubtedly made them feel quite uncomfortable.

But in this situation, even Major General Claire could only tell the combat staff to wait, rather than send a warship to forcibly bring Chen Yu aboard.

Stuffed with ire, the combat staff had to follow orders and wait until dawn.

After a good night's sleep, Chen Yu left Jounouchi Hiromi to accompany his parents and daughter and, only after leisurely finishing his breakfast, did he get on a helicopter with the combat staff who had waited all night and once again flew to the USS Iwo Jima.

Compared to Chen Yu's previous visit to the USS Iwo Jima, the condition of this once beautiful amphibious assault ship was not good.

A big hole was blasted open at the rear of its deck, exposing the hangar, and black smoke was billowing from the ruptured hole, seemingly indicating a hangar fire.

Several helicopters had been destroyed on the deck and were being cleared away, but the dents and charred marks on the deck could not be removed quickly.

Seeing this tragic scene, Chen Yu finally understood why the US military had sought him out in the middle of the night.

However, Chen Yu did not feel that there was anything wrong with coming after waking up, as he could also see that this incident had likely occurred the previous night and was quickly restrained afterward. What Chen Yu was seeing now was already a cleaned-up scene.

So whether Chen Yu came last night or now didn't make any difference in handling this incident.

If there was any difference, it was that coming last night would have put him in a bad mood, whereas coming now would put the US military in a bad mood.

Between his own bad mood and others' bad mood, Chen Yu decisively chose the latter.

Yet, even though he came after sleeping and having breakfast, neither Major General Claire nor Colonel Marcus harbored any dissatisfaction.

The former wouldn't, and the latter wouldn't dare.

The helicopter landed on a part of the deck that was still relatively intact, and, under the guidance of the combat staff who could not wait any longer, Chen Yu entered an isolated cabin inside the USS Iwo Jima, where those two mutant soldiers and Major General Claire were present.

"Your Excellency Chen Yu, you're finally here." Seeing Chen Yu appear, Major General Claire nodded slightly at him, not showing much dissatisfaction for him arriving so late.

She herself was also a demigod, and naturally understood that a demigod had the dignity and temper of a demigod. Who could just summon and dismiss them at will?

Someone with power has a temper that matches it; they can be gentle and humble or dictate life and death as they please.

Thus, Major General Claire had no other thoughts about Chen Yu's "slight." Sending someone to invite Chen Yu so late last night was merely because they hoped he could help after the incident had occurred.

Exchanging greetings with Major General Claire, Chen Yu then looked toward the isolated cabin. Inside were two figures in US military uniforms, who appeared to be the two mutant soldiers.

However, they no longer had any trace of human appearance. Their heads had become octopus heads, and the dozen or so tentacles under their chins were writhing unconsciously, looking nothing like humans but rather like octopi with human bodies.

Even though they were wearing clothes, Chen Yu could still discern that their skin had turned into octopus-like skin, with no trace of human features left.

"Are these the soldiers who secretly drank the monster's blood?" Chen Yu looked at these two soldiers with interest, walking into the isolated cabin and examining the soldiers subdued by Major General Claire.

"Yes, they were the soldiers on duty in the hangar last night, but they secretly collected some blood from those two tentacles and mixed it with water to drink," Major General Claire replied, feeling a little speechless; even she wouldn't dare to recklessly mix monster blood with water and drink it like that.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu shook his head in resignation: "Did they think of themselves as protagonists in a Hollywood movie? Drink monster blood and turn into a monster hero? Well, a transformation indeed occurred, but they are no longer themselves."

"No longer themselves?" Major General Claire immediately furrowed her brow.

Although the actions of these two soldiers in secretly drinking monster blood were clear violations of military discipline and caused great damage to the USS Iwo Jima, for the US military, the potential to discover a way to enhance ordinary humans outweighed such losses.

But Chen Yu's comment that they were no longer themselves made Major General Claire concerned. The US military desired controllable super soldiers, not stronger monsters.

Chen Yu didn't pay attention to Major General Claire's thoughts, only nodding and saying: "Their bodies have been completely overwritten by that monster's genes, even their souls have been washed away by the divinity and power contained in the monster's blood. They've entirely turned into monsters. They can no longer be considered human; at best, they're considered part of that monster's Families."
