Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 460 One Man Saves the Day

The three officers looked in the direction pointed out by a soldier and saw a very bright spot of light in the far distance of the sky. Commander Liu Qiang immediately ordered someone to bring high-powered military binoculars and looked at the spot of light.

A humanoid figure clad in armor was seen, its entire body radiating a dazzling golden light, with orbs of light emanating from its hands, as if it were gathering power.

The armored figure was none other than Li Chenglong. He sensed the energy emanating from the battle taking place in Kyoto from a great distance, and used dimensional travel to arrive directly at the high altitude of the Kyoto battlefield, where he began to accumulate energy.

The zombies and zombie beasts on the ground are at most level 11, so they don't need very strong attack moves, but they do need to have a large enough range. Of all the ranged attack moves Li Chenglong has, the Dragon Fist has a lot of explosive power, but the range is still a bit small. The Holy Dragon Armor's World-Destroying Cannon has a large range, but it will pollute the land, making the area barren for several years, which is definitely not what he wants to see.

After much thought, only the Dimensional Starburst seemed to be the most suitable option for the current situation. Li Chenglong immediately shouted, "Holy Dragon Armor! Disintegrate and upgrade, sublimate to the all-around form!" The Holy Dragon Armor then shattered, emitting a dazzling golden light that covered Li Chenglong's body again. The Holy Dragon Armor was thus upgraded to the sublime all-around form.

Li Chenglong spread his arms, and thirteen dazzling white orbs of light, each containing a swirling pattern of galaxies, flew out from his hands. These orbs rapidly expanded and began to rotate. As they rotated, they generated a tremendous suction force, pulling all the zombies and zombie beasts still attacking the human defenders on the ground, except for the higher-level ones which could still struggle, into the air.

Surprisingly, although the suction force of the 13 white vortexes was extremely strong, they only sucked up the zombies and zombie beasts; not a single human soldier was sucked up. After the zombies and zombie beasts, along with some rocks and construction debris, were sucked into the air, they were gradually gathered from the outer edge of the vortex into the inner circle. The alien creatures were also gradually crushed and turned into minced meat.

As time passed, the 13 vortexes gradually merged into one enormous vortex, and its color changed from white to blood red. As the vortex spun rapidly, a huge, dark crack with a blood-red glow appeared in the sky, turning the once somewhat azure sky into an extremely terrifying sight.

Li Chenglong slowly clenched his outstretched hands, then suddenly tightened them. The mixture, which had been coalesced into a giant sphere, exploded and was subsequently absorbed into the crack. After the absorption was complete, the giant crack disappeared.

Li Chenglong's single strike wiped out at least tens of thousands of zombies and zombie beasts, greatly relieving the pressure on the western defense line. The soldiers were initially in a daze, but some officers reacted first, shouting to wake them up and leading the soldiers in a counterattack.

Seeing that the crisis on the western defense line had been resolved, Li Chenglong disappeared from his spot and headed towards the southern defense line. Commander Liu Qiang, Li Zhi, and the two deputy commanders Zhao Guo, who witnessed the entire scene from the city wall, exchanged a slow glance, and could see utter astonishment on each other's faces.

Li Chenglong shuttled back and forth between different positions. Because such a large-scale dimensional explosion consumed a lot of spiritual energy, even he, at level 13, was somewhat overwhelmed and had to take out several large bottles of Flame Fruit Wine and Spiritual Royal Jelly to drink.

Four hours later, the commanders of the three defense lines successively sent messages reporting that the crisis had been resolved to Liu Qiang, the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto base garrison.

At this moment, two twin sisters came in after reporting their arrival. As soon as Liu Qiang saw them, he quickly asked, "Zhao Hui, Zhao Ya, how did you do with the task I just gave you?"

The two sisters looked very alike and were wearing the same combat uniforms. Even Commander Liu Qiang could only distinguish them by their hairstyles. The elder sister, Zhao Hui, smiled and nodded, saying, "Commander, during the battle just now, you instructed our intelligence department to keep an eye on that person in the air. After careful reconnaissance and searching, we have located his whereabouts."

Liu Qiang hurriedly asked, "Where is he now? He helped us so much, we must repay him handsomely. And the President just called, he also said he wants to meet this great hero."

Zhao Ya replied, "Commander, please don't be in such a hurry. Actually, he is currently at the front line, helping the healing ability users treat the wounded. We have already conveyed your message to him, and he said he will come shortly."

Li Zhi asked in surprise, "He can heal?" Zhao Ya nodded, "Yes, not only can he, but he's very good at it. Even the strongest wood-type ability user in our base can't heal as well as him. No, I shouldn't say that he can't heal as well as him, but that there's a world of difference between them."

Commander Liu Qiang thought for a moment, then smiled at Li Zhi and Zhao Guo beside him and said, "I feel it's not good for us to send someone over while we're here. Why don't we just go over there?" The two looked at each other and agreed.

The three leaders then went out, accompanied by two level 11 ability users, Zhao Hui and Zhao Ya, with only two guards following them.

Thirty minutes later, two military vehicles stopped in front of the field hospital. Liu Qiang and others got out of the vehicles one after another, and the director of the field hospital and others came out to greet them.

Commander Liu Qiang inquired in detail about the hospital's treatment of the wounded, and then, along with Li Zhi and Liu Guo, visited the wounded soldiers in their wards. As they walked, they discovered a long queue in front of one ward, with many people crowding the doorway, occasionally eliciting sounds of surprise or expressions of gratitude.

The hospital director explained, "My lords, this room was temporarily set aside specifically for treating the seriously injured. It's truly a miracle; some of the wounded that even our strongest healing-type ability users couldn't treat can be saved here, with at least a large majority of them being saved."

The vice president next to him said, "Sir, should we go over now, or what?" Liu Qiang shook his head: "Since they are focused on treating the wounded, it would be tactless of us to go over and disturb them. Let's find a place to wait for a while."

After saying that, the group found a place to sit down. Because the battle had just ended, the hospital was very busy, and the director and vice director soon left to arrange work.

Five people sat in the office, with two guards standing outside the door. They would notify their superiors as soon as Li Chenglong came out. Liu Qiang smiled and asked, "Zhao Hui, Zhao Ya, you are both late-stage Level 11 ability users, your strength is among the top in Kyoto. How strong do you think this person is?"

The two sisters exchanged a glance, and Zhao Ya said somewhat seriously, "His strength is really hard to estimate. We'd venture a guess that he's at least a late-stage level 12, or even a level 13 ability user. However, his fighting style is different from the ability users we're familiar with; he seems to be an Awakened one, as mentioned in the report. Our intelligence department, through the perception of sensory ability users and the calculations of our instruments, has come to the conclusion that even if all the ability users in this base attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for him."

Sister Zhao Hui continued, "What puzzles us the most is where such a powerful ability user came from. Although the connections between our bases aren't very close due to the rampage of various alien species, we still have records of most ability users above level 10. But now, suddenly, such a powerful individual has appeared, and there were no records of him before."

Liu Qiang nodded and said, "However, we can be sure that this person is a friend, not an enemy. He was able to use his abilities to save us from the crisis, and then he came to the hospital to treat these seriously injured people. This proves that he is definitely not a bad person. Knowing this is enough."

The group waited for five or six hours, until 7 p.m., when the guard outside came in to report, "Sir, he's out." Liu Qiang straightened his clothes, looked around, and let out a long sigh, saying, "Let's go, let's go see this great hero!"
