Chapter 217: Emergence
Luo Wen hadn’t expected the alien squad to be so extreme, detonating a small nuclear bomb in the end. The explosion not only annihilated most of the Swarm in the cave but also woke up Godzilla.
Godzilla was highly sensitive to nuclear explosions. Odd-Headed Fish near its resting place had detected its awakening within minutes of the detonation. Godzilla left its nest and began swimming toward the blast site.
The explosion occurred over 2,000 kilometers in a straight line from Godzilla’s resting place, with over 3,500 kilometers to traverse by sea. At Godzilla’s speed, it would take approximately 30 hours to reach the coastal waters near the blast zone.
Luo Wen’s original plan had been to slowly weaken the alien forces and drive them away while keeping Godzilla’s existence hidden.
But the self-detonation of the nuclear bomb had disrupted everything.
Despite the many Brood Queens on Great Dawn Planet and the presence of a Brood Nest, they had only recently arrived and had just begun hatching combat units, most of which had been destroyed in the explosion.
Now, Luo Wen was at a disadvantage. He couldn’t take on either the aliens or Godzilla. In 24 hours, when Godzilla confronted the aliens, the outcome would be anyone’s guess.
The situation had spiraled out of control. Even if this scenario had unfolded a month later, Luo Wen would have been in a much stronger position.
But it was too late for regrets. For now, he could only watch from the shadows, accumulating strength.
