Great Migration (Please Bookmark, Please Recommend)
"By the way, Instructor Dong, does the higher-ups have any better weapons?"
After settling the matter of the cultivation technique, Lu Yunhe had not forgotten the other purpose of his visit: getting a better weapon for his human body.
As for the Ultraman Avatar, he would most likely have to search Earth's ruins for Force weapons.
Hearing Lu Yunhe's question, Dong Nanbiao could not help but reveal a wry smile. "With things as they are now, any good weapons would have long been distributed to us martial artists. How could there still be any stock left?"
"However, the research institute is currently organizing a lunar mission. It might solve the weapon problem for us martial artists."
Dong Nanbiao briefly explained that Krodesena, a scientist from the USA, had invented Kro Alloy—a metal far harder than diamond—by combining the "Blue Gold" metal discovered on the moon with Monster corpses.
Afterward, the research institute had also collected lunar Meteorites from Earth, extracted Blue Gold from them, and synthesized Kro Alloy.
However, there was simply too little Blue Gold in the Meteorites. Even War God Level martial artists could not be fully equipped with it, much less ordinary martial artists.
Therefore, the few remaining major powers were all preparing to resume lunar missions and mine directly from the moon.
"Fine!"
Lu Yunhe felt somewhat regretful as well, and he also declined the only Kro Alloy axe Dong Nanbiao offered him.
"Let me think!"
Watching Lu Yunhe ponder, Dong Nanbiao thought to himself, It should be impossible. Although Lu Yunhe was indeed freakishly gifted at creating cultivation techniques, scientific research required far too many prerequisites. It was impossible to accomplish it just by thinking things through out of thin air.
"Then I'll be leaving first!"
Other than the weapon issue, everything else had more or less been settled. There was no need for Lu Yunhe to remain, so he prepared to go home and continue cultivating.
"Whew! All right, I'll see you out."
Seeing that Lu Yunhe had not come up with any outrageous claims, Dong Nanbiao sighed in relief, though he also felt a little disappointed.
Afterward, Dong Nanbiao gave Lu Yunhe an ID card that allowed him free access throughout the entire base and let him find Dong Nanbiao at any time without going through the front desk.
When Lu Yunhe left, Dong Nanbiao also gave him a large amount of Monster meat, almost all of it Commander-level material.
"Now I can cultivate in peace!"
Back home, Lu Yunhe ate Monster meat while practicing the Guidance Technique, and he continued working on his force-generation techniques as well.
During cultivation, Lu Yunhe also tried transforming his main body into Ultraman.
After all, he now counted as an Ultraman Host. Logically speaking, he should have been able to transform.
However, whether because of the Ultraman Avatar's strength or his height, every time Ultraman's power covered half of his main body, it directly dissipated.
Though he failed, this confirmed for Lu Yunhe that he truly could transform into Ultraman.
Although this transformation was no different from having the Ultraman Avatar fight on its own, and was even somewhat inferior, Lu Yunhe still kept practicing tirelessly. After all, it had once been his dream.
A month passed before he knew it. Just as Lu Yunhe had expected, Dong Nanbiao did not disturb him during that time aside from occasionally visiting to discuss his condition, allowing him to cultivate peacefully.
But rather than saying Lu Yunhe had been cultivating, it would be more accurate to say that the Ultraman Avatar had been cultivating.
In just one month, Lu Yunhe's main body had not progressed much. Even with the buff from being an Ultraman Host, he had only gained several hundred kilograms of strength, still falling slightly short of Advanced Warrior.
Although Lu Yunhe's main body progressed slowly, the Ultraman Avatar cultivated at an astonishing pace, advancing a realm every few days. It had now reached Apprentice Ninth Order and was only days away from breaking through to Planetary Level.
The only things that continued to bother Lu Yunhe, aside from still being unable to transform, were that the Ultraman Avatar was currently only about as tall as a person, not even two meters tall.
"Relax. I'm only a one-month-old Ultraman baby right now, so don't expect too much from me."
The Ultraman Avatar said he had not grown up on hormones. Growing nearly twice as large in just over a month was already fast enough.
"Once I break through to Planetary Level, the power belonging to the Giant of Light should reveal itself once more."
The Ultraman Avatar sensed the restless power within his body, as though it were waiting for some kind of stimulus.
"When that happens, with the power from the breakthrough, I should be able to break through to Advanced Warrior too."
As an Ultraman Host, Lu Yunhe's main body could catch a free ride on this opportunity as well.
Thinking of the cultivation gap between the two, Lu Yunhe could not help but sigh. This situation would probably continue until they entered the universe.
"Entering the universe!"
Lu Yunhe stroked his chin and began pondering. He did not really want to wait until Luo Feng rose to prominence before entering the universe together.
After all, even as a Pinnacle Cosmic Race, Ultraman progressed rapidly during the Apprentice and Stellar periods. It would only take a year or two.
But once he reached the Stellar period, cultivation by himself would become astonishingly slow. Even after decades, he might not complete the accumulation needed for the Stellar period.
"Looks like I'll have to think of a way."
Just as Lu Yunhe was considering how to enter the universe, Dong Nanbiao encountered trouble as well.
"Is this information really accurate?"
Dong Nanbiao looked solemnly at the middle-aged man seated across from him and the white-haired elder beside him.
"This information was confirmed with the lives of countless soldiers."
"I understand!"
Dong Nanbiao pondered the information provided by the military. The Sea Beasts in the Yangtze River had begun to stir and seemed to be preparing an attack on land. The base not far from the Yangtze River would be the first to bear the brunt.
In fact, the greatest threat to humanity during the Great Cataclysm had been the Monsters in the ocean. After all, the ocean covered seventy percent of Earth's surface, and its animal population was even more staggering.
At the very beginning of the Great Cataclysm, those island nations had been wiped out at the first time.
As for the land Monsters, because of the natural environment and their numbers, major powers could still barely contend with them.
"I never expected the ocean Monsters to have started invading inland along the rivers flowing out to sea."
Dong Nanbiao was filled with emotion. This also meant that the areas around both mother rivers had become unsafe.
"We should relocate!"
After the three discussed it, they found that relocating the entire base was their only option.
With the base's current firepower, it simply could not stop an invasion by ocean Monsters. They could only head for Jiangnan Base on the other side.
"More than a million people!"
Feeling the weight of that staggering number, Dong Nanbiao's heart trembled. This was not the relocation of a few hundred or thousand people, but tens of thousands, even millions.
Though they did not want to face that reality, decisiveness was what the Great Cataclysm lacked least. The resolve of Dong Nanbiao and the other two aligned, and the entire base immediately sprang into action.
The commander-in-chief was responsible for coordinating the base, Dong Nanbiao was responsible for leading martial artists to clear out Monsters along the route, and the military was responsible for making a final stand and buying time.
If no one remained behind to cover the retreat, the Monster horde would definitely catch up with a migration of more than a million people. By then, it would not end with merely a few casualties.
