Chapter 60: The Secret Of The Thunder God Genes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Endless darkness enveloped everything in the collapsed underground tunnel.
Peter had lost his smart device somewhere.
Alternatively, when the S-Grade queen insect self-destructed, his intelligent device might have been destroyed by the shockwave from the explosion.
He did not know what time it was or where he was now.
After the S-Grade queen insect self-destructed, the underground tunnel was buried by the collapsed ground.
Fortunately, the cave Peter was in did not collapse completely, leaving him enough room to lie down.
The injured tissue on his body was still healing. The pain had already numbed Peter.
In order not to think too much, Peter opened the system interface to divert his attention.
The progress of extracting the Thunder God genes in the interface did not change.
It was still at 0.26%.
Peter knew that the progress of extracting the Thunder God genes was still very low.
If his progress in extracting the Thunder God genes had reached 1%, he would not have been seriously injured or died from the explosion of the S-Grade queen insect.
Just as Peter was checking the system interface, there was a strange sound from above him.
Peter was also surprised to hear the sound of the soil being dug from above.
Had Anna brought the other Genetic Warriors to save him?
After coming up with this idea, Peter immediately rejected it.
Even if Anna and the other Genetic Warriors rushed to find him, they would not be able to find his exact location so quickly.
Peter was so alert that he made no sound.
Just then, the sound of digging became clearer above him.
It wouldn’t be long before the cave Peter was in was discovered.
Peter used his hand to check where he was injured. This time, he was very badly injured.
He would not be able to recover in time. As a result, Peter was very anxious.
Suddenly, a system prompt appeared in Peter’s mind.
[Thunder God genes detected. Extracting…]
[Extracted 0.33% of Thunder God genes. Congratulations to the host for obtaining an improvement in physical fitness.]
In an instant.
Peter’s regeneration ability was enhanced, and the rate at which his tissues were repaired increased.
However, this was not Peter’s greatest concern at the moment.
When he extracted the Thunder God genes earlier, he was very shocked.
This was the first time he had extracted the Thunder God genes in the wilderness.
Could it be that the creature excavating the soil above his head also carried the Thunder God genes?
Or could it be a creature related to the Thunder God?
To be safe, Peter was not in a hurry to rush out.
Instead, he waved his hands and dug up the soil beside him.
Peter planned to leave the cave from the side. He wanted to hide first.
He would only act after seeing the unknown creature.
An unknown creature was excavating the soil. Meanwhile, an injured human Genetic God of War was also excavating the soil.
However, one of them was searching while the other was hiding.
The progress of extracting the Thunder God genes had doubled, and Peter’s damaged body regenerated more quickly.
As a result, his digging speed also increased.
More than ten minutes later.
Peter dug through the last layer of soil and was amazed.
He had already reached the surface of the ground.
Peter breathed in the fresh air outside first.
There was a small amount of air in the underground cave.
However, halfway through the excavation, the air that squeezed through the cracks in the soil was simply not enough for Peter to breathe.
After breathing in enough oxygen, Peter turned and left.
A forest had appeared in front of him.
Peter didn’t hesitate to run into the woods.
Using the forest as cover, he could observe the situation outside in the dark.
Peter knew very well that the creature that had been excavating the soil and searching for something was most likely targeting him.
After waiting in the forest for more than ten minutes, the collapsed ground where he had climbed out showed signs of moving.
Peter knew that the creature that had been searching for him was about to appear.
What powerful creature could it be?
Or could it be another human with the Thunder God genes?
As the soil on the ground was turned over, something appeared from the ground.
Peter’s pupils shrank when he saw what appeared.
Something that looked like a robot had appeared from underground.
Its red lights kept flickering like human eyes.
There was a difference between Peter’s expectations and reality. He thought that it was a creature that was looking for him.
However, he had never expected it to be a robot.
In that instant, Peter thought of many possibilities.
Since this robot could find his location, it must be because he had the Thunder God genes in his body.
Peter had also extracted the Thunder God genes in the cave previously.
Thus, it could be said that this robot carried the Thunder God genes.
He wondered how it used the Thunder God genes to locate Peter.
At this moment.
The body of the robot had completely emerged from the ground.
This was a robot that was similar to a mecha.
The only difference was that mechas required humans to enter and operate them. Meanwhile, the mecha-like robot in front of him was controlled via intelligent means.
What interested Peter the most were the words “Holy War” engraved on the robot’s chest.
This reminded Peter of what the S-Grade queen insect had said before it self-destructed.
“My master already knows of your existence. The Holy War will avenge me!”
