Chapter 142 Assisting in Defense

At this time, Feng Jun, who was walking in the distance, couldn't help asking: "Captain, haven't the mutant animals from the Dragon King Hall arrived yet?"

His 7th Battalion had just come back to change guard after a round of fighting.

"There are still 10 minutes before the agreed time." Zhang Ji replied, and asked: "Is anyone in your 7th Battalion injured again?"

"Yes! Three more soldiers were injured, and there is one seriously injured." Feng Jun's face looked a little ugly.

When they were clearing the Dongling Mountains before, they mainly dealt with those mutant animals. As for these mutant insects, they could only cause them some minor troubles at most.

They could even throw these mutant insects to the security company behind them to deal with.

But now, the situation is completely different.

The comprehensive strength of these mutant insects has increased by at least 5 times. Even if they are wearing combat uniforms, these second-level mutant insects can bite through the protective clothing and tear off a piece of flesh and blood.

This is outrageous.

If it weren't for these mutant insects, which had extremely low defense, and the fact that they brought a large amount of powerful insecticide this time, it would be a question whether they could win.

"Let the brothers hold on a little longer and collect data at the same time."

"The combat effectiveness of the mutant insects has exceeded our expectations, and we must change our combat methods later." Zhang Ji comforted.

Suddenly, an air defense alarm sounded in the south of Hongyan Mine.

At the same time, a voice came from the communicator in Zhang Ji's hand.

"Report to the commander, in the southwest direction, a mutant parrot with a wingspan of 20 meters was found flying towards our Hongyan Mine. Please give instructions."

When Zhang Ji heard the words "mutated parrot", his first reaction was that the parrot messenger from the Dragon King Hall was coming, but when he heard that the wingspan reached 20 meters, he hesitated.

Because the previous parrot messenger had a wingspan of only 5 meters, the difference between the two was too big.

After a brief silence, Zhang Ji ordered: "Let the air defense team stay alert, but don't shoot."

He had to take a look at the situation first. After all, there were only a few fierce birds with a wingspan of 20 meters, and they were all under the command of the mutant king cobra.

Less than 30 seconds after he gave the order, he saw a huge mutant parrot hovering over the Hongyan Mine.

The other party seemed to be looking at the situation below.

Then Zhang Ji found that the other party descended in his direction, but stopped after descending to about 30 meters.

"Let your people move the muzzle away." A voice came from the sky.

Seeing the mutant parrot in front of him speaking human words, Zhang Ji didn't know that it was really the parrot messenger.

He quickly ordered to lift the alert, and the mutant parrot landed.

"Parrot messenger, how did you become so big?" Zhang Ji looked at the huge parrot standing in front of him, which was 6 meters tall. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he couldn't help asking.

"Because I performed well in this diplomatic mission, I received a reward from the Dragon King, who helped me break through to the third level." The mutant parrot said.

Hearing this, Zhang Ji and Feng Jun looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

According to their understanding, these mutant creatures can break through, either because they are extraordinary or because they rely on spiritual energy to revive.

And now, the mutant king cobra can actually help others break through, which means something completely different.

A few days ago, there were only two third-level mutant creatures on the entire danger list.

And after the spiritual energy was revived, the number of third-level mutant creatures increased sharply. According to the estimate of the Mutation Management Bureau, the number of third-level mutant creatures in the entire Yangcheng City may have reached 20.

Although 20 third-level mutant creatures don't sound like much, they have already made the military feel pressure.

After all, third-level mutant creatures are no longer afraid of ordinary bullets, and they have extremely keen danger perception abilities, so it is not easy to hit them with rockets or howitzers.

So basically, a whole battalion of soldiers is needed to deal with a third-level mutant creature.

10 third-level mutant creatures appearing at the same time can threaten a regiment.

If 100 third-level mutant creatures appear and attack Yangcheng together, it is possible to destroy the city.

Originally, Zhang Ji felt that it would take a long time for 100 mutant creatures to appear around Yangcheng.

But now...

"Is it easy for your Dragon King to help others break through?" Zhang Ji couldn't help asking.

"Such a secret thing, do you think I will tell you?" The mutant parrot said with a smile.

Zhang Ji: "..."

"Okay, I came here to inform you that the team sent by our Dragon King Hall will arrive soon. Your Red Rock Mine is assisted by the mutant buffalo and black crow team to defend. Now I tell you in advance, so that you don't point your gun at them at will."

"You have to know that the perception of mutant creatures is very sharp. Pointing your gun at them is tantamount to provocation." The mutant parrot said, obviously alluding to what happened just now.

"Don't worry, I will definitely tell the soldiers not to aim their guns randomly." Zhang Ji said quickly.

These are all trivial matters. There is no need to offend allies because of this.

The mutant parrot did not speak again and stood here waiting silently.

As for Zhang Ji, he also used the communicator to inform everyone immediately that reinforcements were about to arrive, and told them not to aim their guns randomly.

Not long after he gave the order, the adjutant received news that a large number of mutant animals appeared in the southwest.

Hearing this news, Zhang Ji found that he was inexplicably relieved.

There was no way. The pressure from the mutant insects in the past half an hour was too great.

He immediately asked the adjutant to bring a telescope and look into the distance.

The first thing that came into view was a large group of mutant black crows. More than 200 second-level mutant black crows flew from a distance, giving people the feeling that a large cloud was approaching.

However, during the negotiations this morning, the battle was even bigger, so Zhang Ji was not shocked much this time.

More of it was expectation.

He really wanted to know how strong the combat effectiveness of these second-level mutant animals could be? How much burden could they reduce for them.

Below the flock of birds, the sea of ​​trees was shaking, led by two extremely large mutant buffaloes, who were running recklessly, and some weak trees were directly broken.

Behind them, there were 13 mutant buffaloes of equally large size. Although there were only 15 mutant buffaloes in the whole team, when they ran, they gave people a sense of momentum of thousands of troops.

During the three days of spiritual energy revival, Ye Feng did not let these animals under his command idle.

Let them go to the periphery of the city and collect all the mutant animals as much as possible.

In particular, the animals of the same kind that he had contracted were the focus of finding targets.

A total of 39 mutant buffaloes were found, and now they are divided into three teams, with exactly 13 in each team.

What Ye Feng felt sorry for was that the number of mutant buffaloes in the wild was really small. If the quota was full, a third-level mutant buffalo would lead 200 second-level mutant buffaloes, and it would be spectacular when they ran.

"So strong!" Zhang Ji couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the two mutant animal groups approaching.

"Alas~ The Dragon King Palace has just been rebuilt, and they can only be used to fill the numbers. Back then, the army of 100,000 alien beasts was so magnificent. It's a pity that the battle back then..."

Zhang Ji, who was listening at the side, saw that the other party did not continue to speak, and felt a sense of scratching his head in his heart.

"Parrot Messenger, was the Dragon King Palace so powerful at the time? Then why did no gods survive later?" Zhang Ji couldn't help asking.

"This is a secret, I can't say it, you'd better forget what I just said." The mutant parrot glanced at the other party and said lightly.

He didn't even make it up, what could he say?

Although Zhang Ji looked a little disappointed, he quickly cheered up and ordered the soldiers around the mine to cooperate with friendly forces to defend.

But then, a surprising scene appeared.

The group of mutant buffaloes stopped after entering the defense circle of the mine, and then they circled the periphery of the mine and began to patrol.

Wherever the mutant buffalo herd passed, the mutant insects that were quite crazy before fled in all directions like mice seeing a cat.

And even if the mutant buffalo herd left, they didn't dare to come back.

Even if there were a few mutant insects that were ferocious by nature and unwilling to leave, they would be spotted by the mutant black crows hovering in the sky and quickly solved.

Even if the insects were mutated, they had no power to resist mutant animals of the same level.

Those mutant insects that were extremely difficult for the soldiers of the Sixth Regiment were solved like a child's play.

This scene made all the soldiers and officers dumbfounded, and they even wondered if they hadn't woken up.

Zhang Ji saw everything clearly through the telescope. While he was shocked, he was also full of doubts.

He originally thought that even if he could drive away the mutant insects in the end, he would at least have to fight.

But fortunately, there was a bird next to him that understood.

So, he asked directly: "Parrot Messenger, why is this happening?"

"Why else? The strong prey on the weak, this is the law of nature!"

"In the eyes of those mutant insects, you are food, of course they will attack crazily."

"But we are predators, isn't it normal for them to run away?" The mutant parrot said with a smile.

Zhang Ji felt as if his heart was stabbed and stirred violently.

"Haha, just kidding, the two mutant buffaloes in the lead have reached the third level, and their breath is enough to scare away any second-level mutant creatures. So wherever they pass, those mutant insects will run away."

"But this breath will not stay for too long, so let your soldiers be alert, don't let those mutant insects kill you back and get hurt." The mutant parrot reminded.

Zhang Ji felt a little better in his heart, but he understood that many true words are often said in a joking way, just like the other party's words just now.

"Understood, I will tell them to pay attention." Zhang Ji said immediately.

"Okay, I'll go to the next mine." The mutant parrot said, and took off immediately.

Next, when Ye Feng went to the other two mines, he never encountered anyone pointing a gun at him again. Obviously, the teams stationed here had received the notice in advance.

With the active cooperation of the military, everything went very smoothly. The other two teams quickly took over the defense of the remaining mines.

After doing all this, Ye Feng controlled the mutant parrot and flew towards Yangcheng City.

This was the first time that the two sides had officially cooperated. Under such circumstances, the mutant panda, the image ambassador, naturally could not be idle.

Ye Feng was not sure how to let the mutant panda collect the power of faith, so now he needed to keep trying to establish a positive image for the other party.

Soon, the mutant parrot found the giant panda and explained his intention to the staff following the giant panda.

I hope that the municipal department will cooperate with this action and start a special topic or live broadcast to promote the friendly cooperation between the two sides.

For the mutant parrot's proposal, the municipal department naturally could not refuse, and soon the propaganda department took action.

...

And the people who felt the most about all these changes were neither the soldiers who were defending nor the people who received the notice and were ready to watch the live broadcast.

But the workers who were waving their sweat in the mines.

In the Hongyan Mine, a dark-skinned middle-aged man was holding an iron pickaxe and lifting a huge rock.

But under the rock, there was a mutant centipede half a meter long.

Seeing the centipede, the middle-aged man was frightened and turned pale. He shouted in fear, dropped the stone and ran back.

However, his reaction was fast, but the mutant centipede's reaction was even faster. It bent its body and then shot out like a slingshot, rushing straight to the middle-aged man's back.

The sharp mouthparts of the centipede were getting closer and closer to the middle-aged man's neck. As long as it pounced on him, the middle-aged man would probably die in the next moment.

This scene was naturally seen by the people around, and even the patrolling soldiers not far away saw it, but it all happened too fast, and they had no time to rescue.

Just when everyone thought that the worker was dead, a black shadow swooped down from the sky and grabbed the centipede with one claw before it touched the middle-aged man.

Then the claws tightened, and the huge force directly cut the centipede into three pieces.

The mutant black crow that easily dealt with a mutant centipede flapped its wings and flew back into the sky, circling around, staring at the bottom, ready to attack again at any time.

"I was scared to death." The middle-aged man sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Lao Zhang, you are lucky this time. You should burn paper when you go back to thank your ancestors for their protection." At this time, the nearby workers had already gathered around, and someone said with lingering fear.

Lao Zhang, who was sitting on the ground, heard the workers say this, he nodded first, then shook his head.

"Ancestors must be worshipped, but we also have to thank these mutant creatures. I heard that they seem to be called Dragon King Palace, right! Statues will be built in various places in the city later, and I will go to worship them when the time comes."
