Chapter 199: Boarding the Plane

Translator:Editor:

After a few minutes, Luo Yuan had arrived at the military base, atop his lizard.

As their return had long been informed, the surrounding army patrol showed no sign of unease, but from time to time, the soldier would stare towards their direction, keeping vigil.

The lieutenant picked up the walkie-talkie and started to establish contact.

A moment later, two heavy cranes towing an empty container each, appeared from the military base, followed by an SUV. The containers were set down, and behind it were seven to eight engineers donning safety helmets, alighting the SUV. One of them walked towards Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan pacified the stressed lizard as he dismounted. He briskly walked a few steps forward to greet the engineer.

They shook hands, but the latter’s eyes secretly darted towards the lizard nearby, who was emitting a rather intimidating aura. He could not resist but to gulp, forcibly calming himself and said, “Hello, hello, your beast is too large to fit into our standard containers. We must now measure its size and make the necessary adjustments to our container. Taking into account the beast's temperament, as well as the possibility of danger, we would have to sedate it first.”

His demeanor did not bear any authoritative military disposition, but instead behaved meekly, akin to a technical staff of a factory workshop. This must mean he could have only been recently enlisted into the service.

“No problem, sorry to trouble you,” Luo Yuan said politely.

“No, it’s no trouble at all,” the polite man waved it off, while opening a small tool box that was in his hand. Inside, laid a large syringe with a needle, and an electric drill. ”This is a specially formulated sedative with a very strong effect. Even a level five mutated beast would normally be sedated for five to six hours. However, if the sedative was used for the second time, the period of its effect would be reduced progressively, after all, a mutated beast's resistance towards drugs is far too strong.”

He passed a syringe needle as thick as an arm to Luo Yuan. Inside the syringe, was a light blue liquid.

As Luo Yuan received the syringe, he took a look at it, and skeptically asked, ”Is one needle enough?”

“In general, one shot is enough,” the military engineer said confidently. ”But it would be difficult to inject the needle through its thick skin. Normally we must use the electric drill to penetrate it with a fresh hole.”

“No, the electric drill is not necessary.” Luo Yuan rejected immediately. He took the syringe needle, and skeptically walked towards the giant lizard. It had a lot of wounds, some of them were fresh, and parts of its body were still oozing with fresh blood. So there was no point in making another open wound.

Luo Yuan was worried that being too near the head would affect the future intelligence of the giant lizard, thus he chose a safer spot near the hip area, and injected without hesitation, gently pushing the liquid into its body.

To the giant lizard, the sensation was akin to just an itch. It only gave a puzzled look at Luo Yuan before ignoring him. But very soon, it began to feel uneasy. Its body was starting to feel numb, and it was gradually losing its strength.

After a minute, its body suddenly became weak and fell heavily onto its knees to the ground.

It wailed incessantly, and struggled to stand up; its eyes looking up at Luo Yuan’s.

The soldier nearby started to retreat slowly, in order to avoid any imminent outburst.

Unable to figure out why, when Luo Yuan looked into the eyes of the giant lizard, he felt uncomfortable. He went over and stroked the giant lizard's head, and continued to pacify it.

Under Luo Yuan's reassurance, the giant lizard's uneasiness gradually died down, and very soon, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. As minutes passed, it drifted off into a deep sleep.

The group wiped off their cold sweat, and waited until the sedative unleashed its full potential, so that the giant lizard was no longer prone to react dangerously to the external environment. Afterwards, a few men began to measure the size of the lizard meticulously.

After measurements were made, an empty container was cut open with flames, and necessary modifications soon ensued.
