21 Chapter 20: Undead Catastrophe
Woof Woof Woof!
Seeing that the thing was trying to keep up with it, the huskys bark fully transformed into a dogs yelp. It fled in panic, but in the end, it was still caught by the black energy that slowly fused into its prosthetic limb.
Argh?
With the fusion of the black energy, the husky suddenly felt much better about the metallic lump. It no longer felt as cold as before.
Seeing this, Bai Qi stepped forward quickly, carefully examining the huskys prosthetic limb. Soon, he discovered that the prosthetic, which was originally connected only by metal clasps, was showing signs of fusion with the flesh.
The Evolution Egg, can it even fuse with this kind of mechanical energy?
Bai Qi released the huskys mechanical limb, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
Choosing the Mechanical Weaponry major was definitely the right decision.
Combining traditional pets with mechanical weaponry, he was about to usher in a new era!
Argh?
(This human, has he lost his mind?)
!!..
The husky looked at Bai Qis goofy smile, snorted audibly with disdain, then started running all over the courtyard, feeling incredibly free.
Seeing the husky behave this way, Bai Qi also slowly calmed down.
Although the Evolution Egg could seamlessly integrate mechanical prosthetics and flesh, Bai Qi was still unsure about the underlying principles. He would need to invest some time for research.
Thinking about this, Bai Qis gaze at the Husky suddenly became a bit strange. The husky, which was initially running around cheerfully, felt a chill run down its spine and instinctively hid in its dog house.
This place was dangerous, it suddenly wanted to go home.
Due to his discovery of the new territory, Bai Qi rarely spent his day without caring for Alpha. He needed his full attention on the husky, as it seemed.
After using the Black Iron Egg three times in a row, the fusion between the mechanical limb and the Husky became more and more profound, leaving almost no perceivable joint.
However, even so, the Husky didnt undergo significant changes like Alpha.
Do I have to wait for its bloodline level to evolve?
Recalling the huskys previous evolution, Bai Qi knew that this matter couldnt be rushed.
Anyway, the fool will stay here for half a month. Theres plenty of time for thorough research.
Worse comes to worst; once he advances to the second stage, hell form a Soul Contract with this dimwit.
Although he cant figure out what about the Husky has changed, having the Evolution Egg in hand, the contract doesnt seem to bear much importance to him.
Time to evolve Alpha. It shouldve absorbed all the remaining energy by now.
Bai Qi prepared dinner for the Husky, opened a bottle of Nutrient Solution for himself, and walked over to Alpha.
After a week of training, Alpha had become accustomed to the speed of the second phase, moving with supreme ease, exhibiting the charisma of a battle professional.
What pleased Bai Qi the most was that even though Alpha did make mistakes occasionally and got hit by a steel rod, it no longer suffered fractures.
[Name]: Shadow Bone Spike (Alpha)
[Race]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Eight Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (proficient), Steel Skeleton (proficient), Continuous Slash (beginner), Shadow Lotus Skill (beginner)
[Condition]: Can evolve
Alpha trained without interruption, and its originally fragile skeleton finally displayed aspects akin to a Steel Skeleton, which along with Bone-breaking Reformation both reached a proficient level.
But the biggest gain was that Alpha had obtained another active attack skill.
[Skill Name]: Continuous Slash
[Skill Introduction]: Rapidly swinging the weapon in hand for cutting enemies, quickly strangling the enemy.
He had tested the power of this skill, and although it didnt have the kind of explosive power and concealment like Shadow Lotus Skill, it won by requiring less energy usage, making it more suitable for frontal combat.
It could be said that Alpha had initially qualified to take on the role of the main pet.
Lets evolve two more times while its still daylight, and well test you on the battlefield tomorrow.
Having closed off and cultivated at home for a week, Bai Qi also wanted to go out and test Alphas actual combat power.
After all, data is just data, and actual combat is combat. Shutting yourself away is not advisable.
However, before Bai Qi could use the Evolution Egg, the Husky, which had been gorging on its food, suddenly jumped up and barked madly into the distance. Alpha also stopped its practice, blankly staring into the west.
Whats wrong, is there a problem?
Bai Qi followed their gaze, but saw no abnormalities.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm rang across the Gusu Citys sky, immediately followed by broadcasting.
Attention, all citizens, there is a sudden disturbance at Undead Hill, disaster level B! All citizens engaged in outdoor activities, please immediately proceed to the nearest shelter.

The urgent broadcast repeated itself over and over, and Gusu City, which was supposed to slow down, suddenly revived again with excitement.
What the hell!
Outbreak at Undead Hill?
Undead Catastrophe!
Bai Qi had only read about the destruction caused by the Undead Catastrophe in books during the eighteen years he had been in this world. He didnt expect to actually encounter it today.
However, Bai Qi didnt seem worried at all.
After twenty years of development, numerous walls had been constructed around Gusu City, and there were Beast Control battalions stationed outside the outermost wall. Even if there was a real Undead Catastrophe, it wouldnt threaten him for now.
Moreover, the scale of this outbreak shouldnt be large, otherwise, it wouldnt be just classified as a B-level disaster.
The Undead Catastrophe is a catastrophic disaster that can destroy an entire continent. Its far more terrifying than a beast tide.
But since Undead Hill was bombed by Mechanical Legend twenty years ago, there shouldnt be any advanced undead creatures, right? So how could there be a sudden outbreak?
Bai Qi felt a little confused, but he wasnt curious enough to go running around.
Even a B-level disaster isnt something he, an intern, could participate in, going out now would only add to the chaos.
Bai Qi pacified Alpha through the Soul Contract and then noticed the Husky still barking frantically towards the direction of Undead Hill.
This creature seems to have noticed the trouble at Undead Hill earlier than Alpha, an undead creature.
While its true that Arctic Ice Wolves have Perception Skills. But isnt this distance a bit too exaggerated?
Speaking of it, the dog was restlessly acting uncharacteristically a few days ago. Could that be because it sensed something?
If thats the case, he might have hit the jackpot.

Just as the husky was warily staring at the eggshell fragments, those pieces turned into streaks of black energy and rushed straight towards the husky.
Woof Woof Woof!
Seeing that the thing was trying to keep up with it, the huskys bark fully transformed into a dogs yelp. It fled in panic, but in the end, it was still caught by the black energy that slowly fused into its prosthetic limb.
