Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 219 - 167 Defense Plan Finalized_2

Hearing this, a slight smile of relief appeared on the faces of the gathered officers.

"To increase the number of Second Order Mutated Animals by 100, if used well, could even change the trend of a local war in certain areas."

Following that, everyone began discussing how to maximize the effectiveness of these Mutated Beings.

Of course, such discussions were generally just rough ideas, and the specifics of how to implement them could not be decided in just a few words.

However, as long as they had a rough plan, the details could be left to the staff department to refine.

It took nearly half an hour before the people in the meeting room finally settled on this matter.

And after wrapping up the discussion about Mutated Animals, the topic naturally shifted to the Superhumans.

"As of the start of this meeting, our military has identified 1,500 soldiers with an A-level compatibility, all of whom awoke to become Superhumans without exception after taking the Gene Potion."

"The next subject we need to discuss is how to make good use of this trump card," Bai Yinghui said with a smile when it came to this matter.

The only thing that made him a bit regretful was that the military couldn’t take all 2,000 Gene Potions.

Considering that the government contributed both funds and efforts, taking only 300 Gene Potions was already quite few.

In addition, the major security companies took a total of 100 Potions since they would also need to be deployed to the front lines later, and it would not be appropriate not to allocate some to them.

The last 100 Gene Potions were distributed among enterprises within Yang City that would greatly contribute to the economy.

Companies like Red Star Tech, for example, were leading enterprises.

After all, to have these enterprises contribute to the economic development of Yang City, there had to be some sweeteners.

Therefore, the military ended up with only 1,500 Gene Potions; of course, the military would not be at a loss for doing this.

Whether it was the municipal departments, security companies, or other leading enterprises, they would definitely contribute after receiving these potions.

As for the municipal departments, there’s no need to mention them, as they mainly handle logistical support.

The total number of combat personnel from the various security companies was definitely not less than 5,000, and their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of ordinary recruits. Deploying them to the city wall was definitely a significant help.

As for those leading enterprises, they also had their own security departments. Each enterprise contributing a few people, without boasting too much, would still account for three to four thousand.

The combined effect of these forces would surely exceed the value of the Gene Potions distributed.

At this time, as Bai Yinghui brought up the topic of Superhumans, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.

For everyone, this was good news.

But in the discussion that followed, divergent opinions emerged.

Colonel Gao Duguang was the first to speak: "I think that these 1,500 individuals should be deployed to various key nodes along the city walls."

"We all know that these Superhumans with enhanced physical abilities are not just strong and defensively solid, but their reaction speeds and dynamic capturing capabilities also far exceed those of ordinary people. Every Superhuman, after awakening, is a born Sharpshooter," he added.

"By placing them on key nodes and equipping them with heavy machine guns, I am confident that we can fully utilize their abilities," he concluded.

This suggestion immediately garnered agreement from some of the officers.

However, there were those who opposed it, such as Colonel Luo Hongshan, who directly said: "I don’t think this arrangement is reasonable. Even if their marksmanship becomes very good after awakening, using them as machine gunners would not be much different from limiting their potential."

"After all, isn’t shooting something all our soldiers can do? Even if one soldier isn’t equal to a Superhuman, what about grouping two or three, or even five or six soldiers together? That should be able to surpass a single Superhuman, right?"

"After these superhumans awaken, the strongest aspect is their physical fitness, even stronger than Second Order Mutated insects."

"Therefore, my suggestion is to form a support team that can immediately resolve issues as they arise."

"After all, unlike other support teams, they are not at all afraid of close combat with Mutated insects, and they can directly charge into the battlefield to instantly turn the tide of battle. I believe this is the correct way to utilize them."

Commander Luo Hongshan’s remarks garnered support from some of the officers as well.

For a time, both sides engaged in heated discussions, each criticizing the other’s shortcomings and touting their own advantages.

Finally, after nearly half an hour of argument, with neither side able to persuade the other, everyone’s gaze naturally turned to Bai Yinghui, seated at the head of the table.

Seeing this, Bai Yinghui couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

Throughout the half-hour, he too had considered the matter from both sides.

But, for the moment, he couldn’t say for certain which plan was better.

Now, facing the eyes of everyone, Bai Yinghui took a deep breath and said, "I have considered what you’ve all said, but as you should know, such discussions will not yield a result."

"Truth is derived from experimentation, so the best method will become clear once we apply it in real battle and observe the outcomes."

"I will instruct the staff to draft two separate plans and then the 1500 people will be divided into two teams, each carrying out one of the strategies."

Upon hearing Bai Yinghui say this, the officers nodded in agreement, as this approach was acceptable to both parties.

But... this was tantamount to trial and error, and trial and error comes with a cost.

Every decision they made here pertained to the safety of soldiers’ lives in the upcoming defense battle.

Bai Yinghui could, of course, discern the concerns on everyone’s faces, and continued, "You all don’t need to worry too much. We’ve spent so much money inviting Dragon Hall to assist us so that they can back us up in this critical moment, right?"

With the reminder of the strong performance of the Mutated Animals from Dragon Hall during this period, everyone felt considerably more at ease.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yinghui spoke again, "There’s another matter. I think we should come up with a collective term for those who have injected the Gene Potion and awakened enhanced physical superpowers."

Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of those present, Bai Yinghui continued, "This group is too large, and their abilities purely enhance their bodies, distinguishing them from other superhumans who possess various strange powers."

"Differentiating them will make command easier for us."

"Let’s call all those who have awakened enhanced physical superpowers through the Gene Potion ’Evolutionists.’ Of course, this term didn’t originate from me, but was Chen Dalong’s suggestion."

"I think his suggestion is good. Evolutionists all enhance their physical fitness and can directly integrate into our military command. Superhumans with various unique abilities should be arranged with another set of tactics that fits them better."

Hearing Bai Yinghui say this, everyone nodded in approval. It was just a name, after all, with nothing worth arguing over, and changing the terminology could indeed help differentiate them more effectively.

Of course, what was more important was that they all knew some insider information and understood that the success of the Gene Potion was largely due to Chen Dalong’s genes.

His wish for naming rights was actually quite reasonable.

By this point in the meeting, most matters had been discussed and what remained were only minor details to be settled upon.

Half an hour later, the meeting concluded.

Zhang Ji immediately set off with the finalized plans to Sunset Valley, preparing to negotiate the matter of inviting Mutated Beings to assist in the battle.

Only ten minutes later, when Ye Feng spotted Zhang Ji’s military jeep, he knew that the military must have reached a decision.

He immediately possessed the Mutated Parrot, flew out of Sunset Valley, and went to meet the newcomer.
