Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 229 - 173 Launching a General Attack_1

With that in mind, Ye Feng couldn’t help but control the Mutated Parrot to flap its wings and fly towards Bai Yinghui’s location.

"Parrot Messenger, what brings you here?" Bai Yinghui asked with some curiosity.

"Nothing much, just wanted to ask about the defense work you have planned next," Ye Feng responded.

As Ye Feng spoke, he gestured with his wings toward the far-off mutated insects. "Once they launch their full-on assault, do you think your current setup can hold out?"

Bai Yinghui nodded, "With our current defense arrangement, indeed, it won’t be sufficient."

"However, we are not unprepared. As you know, our Yang City has received key national support, not only financially but also with various weapons and ammunition."

"Plus, our armory has been continuously producing shells. Currently, we have about 20,000 rounds of howitzer shells on hand, which can be used for several rounds of saturation bombardment if we concentrate them on the northern city wall."

"Of course, I know that might not be enough."

"But Yang City is somewhat special, as we also have to deal with the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area incident, and thus, we have a full 1,000 Thermostatic Shells in our ammunition depot."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng opened his mouth in surprise and couldn’t help but ask, "You mean to directly bombard the bug swarm with Thermostatic Shells? Isn’t that too wasteful?"

Honestly speaking, Ye Feng truly felt that it was like using heavy artillery to kill mosquitoes.

He actually felt a pang of pain for the other side, and he still needed the military’s assistance to suppress the Restricted Area! If they used the Thermostatic Shells now, what about the Restricted Area?

Thinking this, he had already begun to organize his words, considering how to persuade them.

"To use Thermostatic Shells for the bombardment is indeed a last resort; no matter what, we cannot just watch the city being breached."

As Bai Yinghui said this, he paused, looking earnestly at the Mutated Parrot, "So next, we need your Dragon Hall to take action. I hope later on, even if we have to bombard with Thermostatic Shells, we can minimize the consumption."

According to estimates from the staff headquarters, without the assistance of Dragon Hall, they would have to spend at least seven to eight hundred Thermostatic Shells to possibly end the war on their own.

"Don’t worry, we will give our all to help you through this crisis," Ye Feng replied seriously.

They were paid for the job, not to mention he had received so much money.

After a brief conversation, Ye Feng returned to his duties. He began deploying the city’s mutated animals, gathering them in front of the city gates.

For the flying units, any location was accessible, but the ground forces didn’t have that convenience. Wanting to preserve the city walls, they had no choice but to honestly pass through the gates. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Everyone thought that with the rise of the sun, they would have to endure the violent and wild assault of the mutated insects.

Surprisingly, however, the Mutated Bug Swarm calmed down.

But everyone knew that this calm was just the calm before the storm because the massive swarm continued to move, slowly and steadily converging on Yang City; they just hadn’t initiated the charge yet.

At that moment, Chen Dalong was having breakfast while listening to Li Huosheng’s report.

"Last night, among the 500 combatants from the Mad Dragon Security Company, there were 215 injured and 5 fatalities," Li Huosheng reported.

Hearing such numbers, Chen Dalong, who was munching on a steamed bun, involuntarily paused.

After a moment, he asked, "How many are seriously injured?"

Li Huosheng hurriedly responded, "There are 30 seriously injured members; they’ve been sent to the rear hospital for treatment. The 185 with minor injuries have been bandaged up and returned to the battlefield."

Chen Dalong nodded quietly, saying, "Do not skimp on money for the seriously injured, provide full treatment, and give double the compensation for the fallen."

"Also, those of you who have evolved into Evolutionists, don’t just focus on killing the enemy. Military merit is important, but the lives of our brothers are more so." When Chen said this, his tone grew considerably heavier.

Li Huosheng felt a chill in his heart and nodded repeatedly. In fact, after a debriefing that morning, they realized this too.

The Mad Dragon Security Company, compared to other teams, had a truly significant advantage.

Including Li Huosheng and others, their security company boasted a full 19 Evolutionists.

That was equivalent to the number from two rescue squads, and in such a situation, if they hadn’t been somewhat eager for quick success, their casualties would not have been so substantial.

Just after Li Huosheng finished reporting and left, Chen Dalong’s phone began to ring.

He frowned slightly, but upon looking at the caller ID, his expression immediately turned to anticipation.

It was Hu Shixuan, the head of the company’s business department; Chen Dalong had tasked them with getting the Life Essence production line up and running as quickly as possible.

Now, with the call coming in, it was very likely good news.

"Boss, the first production line of Golden Dragon Pharmaceutical is fully operational, and has produced a batch of Life Essence," Hu Shixuan’s somewhat eager voice came through the phone.

"After the scientists sent by Professor Xu Liang inspected it, the efficacy meets all the standards – we’ve succeeded," Hu Shixuan continued.

Chen Dalong was invigorated by the news; it was definitely a positive development. He immediately inquired, "What’s the current production capacity?"
