Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Bats_1

As soon as Ye Feng got a clear view of the people approaching, he immediately began recalling his underlings through the contract.

However, he was also contemplating which underlings to dispatch to handle the current situation.

Dealing with just 20 humans didn’t require full deployment, as sending out only the King Cobra would suffice to take care of them.

But unless absolutely necessary, Ye Feng didn’t wish to kill; a deep impression that deterred the enemy from coming back would be enough.

After some thought, he eventually chose to dispatch the Mutated Bats and the Mutated Buffalo.

He sent the Mutated Buffalo because this group of people was armed with shotguns.

The hide of a Mutated Buffalo in the Middle of the Second Order was tougher than that of ordinary steel, and it also possessed a resilience that steel didn’t have.

It was the only one among his subordinates that could take gunfire head-on.

As for the Mutated Bats, although their Combat Power was mediocre, they possessed an ability that other Mutated Beings didn’t have, which was to summon underlings.

This was something Ye Feng had realized through the Mutated Mouse.

If the Mutated Mouse could make its own kind feel fear and submit, there was no reason the Mutated Bats couldn’t do the same.

Thus, Ye Feng let the Mutated Bats give it a try and discovered that, at the Second Stage, they indeed could influence their kind to a certain extent.

Now calling it the “Bat King” wasn’t an exaggeration as it had already gathered a following of over a hundred First Order Mutated Bats as subordinates.

Of course, this was the limit. Any more than that and it would be difficult to control.

Since these Mutated Beings weren’t highly intelligent, controlling them required the oppression of similar beings’ aura. This was also why the number under control was limited.

Of course, as the Bat King grew stronger, the number it could control would surely increase as well.

While Ye Feng was summoning his underlings, Chen Dalong and his 20 men had already gotten out of their vehicles and were gazing at Sunset Valley.

“This Mutated Iron Birch Tree really is huge!” Chen Dalong couldn’t help but exclaim as he looked at the conspicuous giant tree in the valley.

Though they had already seen the information and knew the Mutated Iron Birch Tree stood at 125 meters tall, the number on paper and what they saw with their own eyes felt completely different.

125 meters was the equivalent of a 40-story building, and typical tall buildings rise straight up. From a distance, you merely think it looks tall.

But it’s different with trees. Generally, the taller the tree, the larger its crown.

At that moment, the width of the Mutated Iron Birch Tree’s crown was also over a hundred meters.

It looked as if a green hillock had appeared over the valley from a distance.

“Boss, with such a big tree, just think how many tons that is! If we haul more back, aren’t we going to strike it rich?” Li Huosheng couldn’t help but say.

“Some things are only valuable because they’re rare. If you really haul back tons of wood, it’s actually going to be worth less.”

“So, a steady stream, just graze slowly, that’s the way to go,” Chen Dalong said.

“That’s a sound lesson from the boss.”

“The boss really has an eye for value.”

The subordinates began to flatter him again, but they were abruptly interrupted by Chen, “Enough, less chatter, be alert. If you really want to compliment me, wait until after this operation is successful. It won’t be too late to do so when we get back.”

“Now follow the plan and start advancing.”

As Chen Dalong spoke, everyone quickly shut their mouths, picked up their weapons, and began advancing into the valley.

Although this group hadn’t received professional training, they weren’t strangers to fighting and managed to coordinate without any awkwardness.

10 members holding short weapons and explosion-proof shields dispersed into an arc formation at the very front.

Directly behind them were members holding spears and broadswords, weapons that required both hands to wield.

If those at the front were attacked, those at the back could provide support immediately.

Chen Dalong and another five members armed with shotguns were protected in the middle, ready to provide firepower support to any location at a moment’s notice.

“Qin Fang, come stand in the middle here, your marksmanship is the best, and this prime shooting spot should belong to you,” Chen Dalong arranged.

“Boss, this is your…” Qin Fang didn’t finish his sentence before he was interrupted.

“Enough, don’t talk nonsense. No matter how nice it sounds, it doesn’t compare to showing a little more effort when we face danger later. We all have recording devices on us, and when we get back, I’ll reward those who kill the most enemies based on their merits,” Chen Dalong said.

His words were not only for Qin Fang but also for everyone else to hear.

The message he conveyed was very clear, and at this point, everyone else put away their small schemes and began to move forward with heightened vigilance.

“There’s a mutated giant spider over there, Ah Niu, go stab it to death.”

“Damn! Such a huge centipede, who’s got the insecticide? Hurry up and hand it over for me to spray.”

“Shit, that thing in front isn’t a mound, it’s an ant hill, back up, back up, let’s take a detour.”

The deeper they went, the more terrified they felt.

Even ordinary insects had become dangerous after mutation, and if they hadn’t been fully equipped and accustomed to fighting with quick reactions and good physical abilities, injuries would probably have occurred by now.

Even so, their progress was extremely slow. It took them 10 minutes to advance less than 300 meters.

“Stop! What’s that sound?” Chen Dalong, who was always on the alert, suddenly spoke.

As he spoke, the team instantly halted, and everyone listened intently.

Indeed, there was a sound growing louder, quickly approaching their direction.

Just then, a member looked up and caught a glimpse of the sky through a gap in the leaves, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

“Bats, so many bats,” he cried out in alarm.

Warned, everyone looked up in unison to see a large swarm of bats cutting through the dense branches and diving towards them.

Although there were only about a hundred bats, the mutated bats had a wingspan of at least a meter each, and even only a hundred of them diving down together gave off a feeling of dark clouds engulfing the sky.

“Everyone, gather together, point the explosion-proof shields upwards, and the rest of you get ready to strike back. Keep calm, don’t get disorganized,” Chen Dalong was the first to react, shouting out loudly.

Upon his reminder, the rest of them quickly reacted.

Those holding explosion-proof shields swiftly raised their shields high.

The others also gripped their weapons tightly, ready to counterattack at any moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bats, hurtling down at high speed, some smashed into the explosion-proof shields, while others quickly changed their flight path to attack from the sides.

After all, there were only 10 shields, not nearly enough to cover all directions.

But the members of the security company were not lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

“Kill!”

With a loud roar from Chen Dalong, everyone launched an attack on the mutated bats that were only a few feet away.
