“Brother Sun, why did they leave?” Chen Dalong hastily asked.
“Uh… those are recruits who haven’t completed their training; they’re not going to the battlefield for now. You can think of them as logistical troops, here just to help set up the defense positions,” Feng Jun explained.
“Then how many people do we have on this defense line in total?” Chen Dalong pressed on.
“Our Seventh Squad, and the First Squad over there. Actually, the number is not small. A typical key defense line only has two squads, and now we also have Mad Dragon Security Company with us.” “Oh, you probably haven’t met the captain of the First Squad, right?” Feng Jun said, and then shouted toward the distance, “Shen Chen, come here for a moment, let me introduce our powerful ally to you properly.”
Indeed, Chen Dalong had never met this Shen Chen, as when they were in the Donglin Mountain Range before, the other was in charge of the rear area, and they had not encountered each other.
Shen Chen was called over and treated Chen Dalong with considerable warmth and courtesy.
He had heard of the deeds of Mad Dragon Security Company, although deep down he found it hard to believe that a security company could be so strong.
But having a powerful comrade-at-arms at such a moment was, of course, a good thing. Even if the other party had only half the strength mentioned in the rumors, their section of the defense line would be much more relaxed.
Chen Dalong also patiently exchanged pleasantries with the other party.
After the other party went back to his duties, he quickly found an excuse to step aside and immediately dialed Lord Parrot’s phone.
The call was quickly answered, and Chen Dalong hastily reported the current situation before asking, “Lord Parrot, what should I do now? Without your help, I definitely won’t be able to hold out!”
He was well aware of the limits of his own strength.
On the other side, Ye Feng, who was possessing Lord Parrot, couldn’t help but scratch his head with his wings when he heard this.
“To be honest, I don’t have a good solution either. If I really send other messengers over, I fear that they will become the military’s primary targets as soon as they appear, let alone help you,” Ye Feng said somewhat helplessly.
This was also why he wanted to recruit Chen Dalong. It was really difficult for him to intervene in city affairs.
Although he had anticipated this response, Chen Dalong was still a bit unwilling to accept it, “Lord Parrot, is there really no way at all?”
“Right now, indeed there isn’t,” Ye Feng said.
But Chen Dalong instantly caught the key point in his words, “Lord Parrot, you said there is no way now, but when will there be a way?”
“Dragon Lord has also subjugated a Mutated Mouse as a subordinate, but it is currently breaking through to the Third Order. It is estimated that it will finish breaking through around 10 o’clock tonight,” Ye Feng said.
He had given them Evolution Fruits for their breakthroughs at 6 o’clock. Based on the breaking through experience of the Mutated King Cobra, it would take about 4 hours, which meant waiting until 10 o’clock in the evening.
Upon receiving such an answer, Chen Dalong quickly checked the time; it was 7:45 now, which meant there was a little over two hours until 10 o’clock.
The time wasn’t particularly long, and he felt he should be able to hold out.
“Then, Lord Parrot, when the Mouse King Messenger completes its breakthrough, please invite it to come over,” Chen Dalong quickly said.
“No problem, I’ll personally ‘airlift’ it to you when the time comes.”
“Also, after this crisis is over, come to Sunset Valley when you have time. Don’t save up Contribution Points anymore; use them all so that Dragon Lord can perform the empowerment for you.”
“Even if you can’t break through to the Second Stage, reaching the First Order Peak will prevent you from worrying about these kinds of situations in the future,” Ye Feng reminded.
In terms of body size, humans actually had a sizable advantage on the evolutionary path; facing small-sized Mutated Beings, they were entirely capable of fighting above their tier.
“Alright, Lord Parrot,” Chen Dalong hurriedly agreed.
This was what he wanted too. Had it not been for the sudden onset of this crisis, he probably would’ve sneaked off to Sunset Valley tonight to enhance his strength.
But thinking of the military’s announcement made him grimace, the battle was expected to last around three days.
After ending the communication, Chen felt much better, at least now he had something to look forward to.
The next couple of hours were crucial.
He quickly walked over to Feng Jun and asked, “Bro Feng, can you tell me the current situation?”

Feng Jun looked at Chen with a hint of confusion, feeling that something about the man seemed different from before.
Of course, this thought was fleeting, and facing Chen, he was still very enthusiastic, quickly saying, “According to the military’s predictions, the Mutated Creature Group will launch an attack within half an hour.”
“In the coming hours, the frequency and intensity of their attacks will continually increase, reaching a peak after 7 to 8 hours. This positional battle might last for over 12 hours.”
“If we can hold out for these 12 hours, the battles in the following days will be much easier.”
Chen was somewhat surprised and asked, “How did the military predict this?”
Hearing this question, Feng hesitated slightly, but still replied, “Bro Chen, you’re now considered part of the military, and since the battle is about to begin, there’s no need to hide certain things from you.”
As he spoke, he took out his phone, logged into the military’s internal software, and started a video for Chen, “This was captured by a reconnaissance robot.”
Chen only glanced at it twice before feeling goosebumps on his scalp.
The Mutated Mosquitoes and Mutated Flies in the video were already the size of ordinary cockroaches, and their sheer numbers were enough to trigger phobias in those who fear masses.
As for the Mutated Cockroaches, after breaking through to Second Order, their size was almost as big as a palm.
Such sizeable Mutated Cockroaches posed a substantial threat to humans.
The evolution wasn’t just in size; their mouthparts had also become long and sharp, with barbs growing on their backs.
An ordinary person’s slap might not kill the Mutated Cockroaches, but their palm would likely be pierced through with holes.
Of course, the most threatening were undoubtedly the Mutated Mice. Mutated Mice the size of Teddy Dogs, with their sharp fangs, could definitely tear off a large chunk of flesh from a human with a single bite.
Probably just two or three could bite an adult to death.
It’s no wonder such videos were classified. If they were posted online, they would cause panic. In such a situation, it would not be easy to conduct evacuation operations.
However, Chen was mentally prepared; he simply took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions before inquiring, “What does this have to do with the military’s predictions?”
“Numbers!” Feng pulled up a statistical table and said, “According to the military’s reconnaissance, about 5% of the Mutated Beings have successfully broken through to Second Order.”
“Based on estimates, once the number of Mutated Beings breaking through to Second Order reaches about 10% of the total, it is predicted they will launch an attack.”
“Currently, about 60% of the Mutated Beings are in the process of breaking through, and this number is still on the rise as time passes.”
“According to models, in the next 7 to 8 hours, the vast majority of Mutated Beings will have completed their breakthrough. That will be when they initiate their all-out assault.”
