Chapter 349: Chapter 346: Electric Shock at Zhiyang Lake_1

In the dragon battle, people like them, who stand on platforms and operate the Quantum Cannon, were in the most jeopardy. If the giant dragon in the lake lost control, they would be the first ones to get attacked!

How could they not be nervous about this?

Finally, all the luminescent tubes scattered in the lake had reached their maximum brightness, transforming Zhiyang Lake into a dazzling spectacle where all the evolved creatures inside it were revealed as if out of a fairy tale.

The scene was beautiful, like something from a dream, but some people found it chilling. Among the myriad aquatic creatures, a giant shadow was shuttling back and forth. Every time it passed, a large number of creatures disappeared!

After watching this scene for a while with a slightly skewed perspective, Tang Ye said to Xu Haishui, "You and Ah Fu stay here, don’t act rashly. I’ll go take a look."

Xu Haishui did not reply, only nodding his head. Tang Ye then swiftly spread his wings under the cover of night and flew directly to the mountain forest on the opposite side.

Arriving at a large tree, Tang Ye looked up. The tree was about ten meters high, which he presumed should be sufficient.

With a stretch of his arms, he retracted his massive wings, so as not to attract attention, and quickly climbed to the top of the tree with his tentacles, looking down into Zhiyang Lake.

His eyes light up at the sight!

The pseudo-dragon had returned to Zhiyang Lake! This meant that their long wait had not been in vain.

"Quick, pull it over here!"

The non-commissioned officers observing the giant shadow in the lake felt as insignificant as an insect, easily crushed underfoot.

The enormity of the shadow caused psychological pressure, making him tremble as he shouted at the soldiers. They went about unloading rolled up bundles from the transport plane, and at the sound of the NCO’s voice, their movements became even swifter.

As they pulled the load to the lake’s edge, the sight of the pseudo-dragon’s monstrous shadow, spanning over a hundred meters, made their knees tremble in fear.

"Take the measurements fast!"

"Move faster, all of you! Haven’t you had enough to eat?"

Whether or not they were affected by the sight of the pseudo-dragon, several NCOs were definitely letting off some steam through their harsh words.

"Sir, the water’s about 53.6 meters deep! The target is located approximately 27.4 meters down!"

"Good, prepare the electric net!"

Upon receiving this command, two armed helicopters lowered their altitude quickly. Meanwhile, several more rolled-up electric nets were being unloaded from the transport plane.

Two soldiers hooked up the leading edge of a net roll to the frames of the two helicopters, while other soldiers connected the trailing end of this net to the leading end of the other roll.

"The preparation is complete!"

"Release it!"

No sooner did a soldier say that, than an NCO gave the order.

The helicopter blades spun faster to gain altitude and veered towards Zhiyang Lake.

The pull from the helicopter caused the wheel axles wrapped in electric nets to spin rapidly, stretching out the net and then dragging it into the water.

The electric net was three meters wide, which means it stood three meters high when set up. Rolled up on a wheel, it looked like a giant wheel.

A three-meter-tall electric net was almost negligible in fifty meters deep Zhiyang Lake, and obviously, it wasn’t meant to trap the pseudo-dragon.

Tang Ye quickly realized what was happening but the two helicopters gradually encompassed the pseudo-dragon with the long electric net. As it was engrossed in feeding, the pseudo-dragon didn’t notice the net. It just kept devouring the other creatures.

After an anxious wait, it took the two helicopters a little over twenty minutes to finally enclose the pseudo-dragon in the lake with the electric net.

Watching the helicopters release the net’s hooks and returning, the NCO in charge heaved a sigh of relief. He Zhoulong, the middle-aged military officer inside the transport plane’s communication room did the same. His heart, which had been in his throat, settled a bit. He had been genuinely worried that the dragon might notice something and leap up to destroy the helicopters in an instant.

In two years, the Qinshan Base had lost many armed helicopters to the pseudo-dragon. This time, they couldn’t afford any more losses.

Exhaling deeply, He Zhoulong nodded at Chen Huaijiang on the screen and then left the transport plane. To the soldiers outside, he yelled, "Everyone get ready! No mistakes allowed! We have to win this time!"

The soldiers opened their mouths to reply but remained silent for fear that a collective shout of "Yes!" might alarm the beast in the lake, prompting it to turn on them.

Knowing what the soldiers were worried about, He Zhoulong didn’t hold it against them and continued, "Now, everyone, switch the electricity on and crank it up to maximum! We have to immobilize the dragon!"

"Start! Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Pull!"

A robust, new-age soldier gripped the two ends of the circuit breaker, pulling it down forcefully to the maximum power, without worrying about the logistics of restarting the transport plane when they return. This time, Qinshan Base was pulling out all the stops, with the sole aim of killing the pseudo-dragon and obtaining the Evolution Crystal inside its brain.

Walking forward, He Zhoulong looked at the giant shadow in the brilliantly lit Zhiyang Lake. With an unprecedented calmness, he watched attentively without showing any signs of fear.

Perhaps, in his mind, the dragon in the lake was as good as dead. But what he didn’t notice was that the moment he had left the communications room of the transport plane, a group of people had barged into Chen Huaijiang’s office on the other side of the screen. Without uttering a word, the leader of the group had raised his cannon and fired at the unsuspecting Chen Huaijiang!

"Die! Hahaha!"

Bang!

Boom!

Chen Huaijiang barely had time to turn his head when a cannonball hit him square in the face. A loud explosion followed, and his entire body was torn into fragments!

The screen in the transport plane’s communication room was now filled with static.

Zzzt-Zzzt-Zzzt-

Visible arcs of electricity in silvery-white crackled along the conduit, continuously pouring into the electric net. The moment the high-voltage electricity entered the net, every creature in the lake froze, including the giant shadow.

In an instant, countless fish, shrimp, and evolved aquatic creatures began floating belly-up on the lake surface. After a brief immobility, the pseudo-dragon started moving again, violently thrashing about in the water, clearly in distress. Giant bubbles began to surface above it.

Scalp tingling, Tang Ye cursed under his breath, "That’s freakin’ brutal!"

The water on the lake surface began to jump and bubble, as if drawn by some force, rolling like waves. Some of the droplets seemed to have a mind of their own, attaching themselves to the pants of the soldiers nearest to the shore.

The soldier who had water droplets adhere to him jumped about three feet into the-air, then screamed once before collapsing onto the ground, scaring the other soldiers into retreating.

The electric charge in the water transmitted quickly, causing the entire lake to explode in an interaction. From this, one could guess how high the voltage was?
