Before long, 85 combat personnel had assembled.
As for those 15 logistic staff members who were just there to make up numbers, Chen Dalong did as he had previously said, letting them stay in the vehicles—they would be the drivers later on.
“Everyone, everything that needed to be said has been said before. As long as you distinguish yourselves, I won’t be stingy with rewards.”
“Now, you have three minutes to check if your equipment is complete, then we’ll set off,” Chen Dalong announced loudly.
“Yes!” The crowd responded in unison.
At this moment, it wasn’t just Mad Dragon Security Company taking action; the other security companies also began to mobilize.
Of course, the fastest was the City Guard Team, who entered the thick forests on either side of the highway, following the prearranged routes.
Every soldier was so well-trained, moving swiftly and silently.
After entering the forest, they dispersed, seemingly randomly, but in reality, each person was able to cover for one another.
At the same time, a number of rotary-wing drones took to the sky, clearly adopting a coordinated attack pattern.
This spectacle made Chen Dalong envious, wondering when his own men might be as well-trained.
But it was also at this time that a large flock of Mutated Bats flew up from the forests, swooping over their heads, causing one drone after another to fall from the sky.
The military teams that had been advancing in an orderly fashion couldn’t help but stop in their tracks at this sight.
This familiar scene made Chen Dalong’s expression quite interesting.
He cleared his throat and said, “Alright! Time’s up, follow me inside.”
Holding a large machete, he took the lead and walked at the front.
“Boss, it seems there is some trouble with the military over there, shouldn’t we wait?” At that moment, one of the sharpshooters, Liu Wenhua, couldn’t help but speak up.
He felt that their boss was really quite bold and reckless. Hadn’t he seen that even the military had stopped?
“This area is probably the territory of that group of bats; they’ll attack anything that flies—there’s nothing surprising about this. We’ve encountered it before,” Chen Dalong said nonchalantly.
He really didn’t care. It was obvious that the Bat Messenger had acted.
Their goal was likely to cover the tracks of other messengers and avoid detection.
Chen Dalong’s words instantly won the approval of Li Huosheng and others.
“Exactly that. The desire to attack of these Mutated Bats is really strong. The drones we released in Sunset Valley yesterday were immediately taken down by Mutated Bats,” Li Huosheng explained to the others to reassure them.
After all, most of the employees here were facing Mutated Beings for the first time.
Liu Wenhua suddenly found himself at a loss for words. His previous combat experience told him that things might not be that simple.
He clenched his teeth, wanting to voice his concerns again, when suddenly his pupils dilated, and he urgently shouted, “Watch out!”
At that moment, Chen Dalong had reached the side of the road, and from a tree only 5 meters away, a shadow sprang down, attacking Chen Dalong’s face with incredible speed.
With the speed that the dark shadow exhibited, a normal person, even if they saw it, probably wouldn’t be able to react in time, not to mention that at this moment, Chen Dalong had just happened to look the other way.
But the next instant, the flash of a blade sent the dark shadow splitting in two, and throughout the entire process, Chen Dalong didn’t even turn his head.
It wasn’t until after he had killed it that Chen Dalong looked down and said, “Tsk! It’s actually a Mutated Woodpecker, this bird’s beak is really long and sharp enough.”
“Stop dawdling and pack this thing up, let’s move out quickly, time is pressing,” he shouted back to those behind him, then without turning his head, he walked into the forest.
Liu Wenhua was watching this scene with his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, thinking that such reflexes could probably match those of the freaks in the special forces.
Even members of the special forces had to hold their breath and concentrate to achieve what had just happened; it was simply impossible to do so with such ease as Chen Dalong.
“Old Xie, am I seeing things?” he asked the Sharpshooter beside him, Xie Guanzhong.
The two of them had been comrades in arms before, and it was Xie Guanzhong who had first seen the recruitment ad yesterday and then pulled him along.
Before Xie Guangzhong could speak, Li Huosheng, who was nearby, said, “Alright, hurry up and catch up! Yesterday, our boss killed a Mutated Wild Boar ranked in the top 30 of the danger list, this is nothing.”
After saying this, he followed Zhang Chenggang and the others.
In fact, the people who returned alive from Sunset Valley yesterday were no longer surprised by what they saw now.
After killing the Mutated Wild Boar, Chen Dalong had displayed this ability to watch for danger in every direction while leading them through the dense forest.
And they were even less surprised after learning that Chen Dalong was a “Superhuman,” an Evolutionist.
Hearing what Li Huosheng had said, and then glancing at the corpse of the Mutated Woodpecker on the ground, Liu Wenhua and the other new members instantly updated their impression of their new boss.
For Chen Dalong, this was just a minor episode, and at the moment, he was talking on the phone through a Bluetooth earpiece with Lord Parrot.

“Head 50 meters forward in the 2 o’clock direction, there’s a Mutated Chameleon hidden among the rocks; judging by its size, it should be worth about 4 military merits.”
“Hm!” Chen Dalong responded in a low voice, abruptly changing direction and walking towards the pile of stones that Lord Parrot had mentioned.
During this process, he was also constantly vigilant of the movements around him, ready to kill those foolish Mutated Insects.
This intuition for danger was something he had obtained after becoming an Evolutionist.
However, regrettably, in such a short time, he still hadn’t been able to learn how to release his own aura for deterrence as Lord Parrot had mentioned; otherwise, it would have been much more convenient.
As he progressed, one Mutated Insect after another appeared, each trying to cause harm.
Mutated Crickets, Mutated Golden Tortoises, Mutated Dragonflies, Mutated Stick Insects, Mutated Wood-boring Louses, and even many Mutated Insects that Chen Dalong couldn’t recognize.
Of course, when these Mutated Insects showed up, their endings were all the same: either being sliced in half by Chen Dalong or being kicked to death.
With him leading the way, the team advanced swiftly, and the people behind didn’t need to worry about much; they just had to follow Chen Dalong and collect the corpses.
Employees of the Mad Dragon Security Company were excited to see their boss so formidable, but Liu Wenhua and the other veterans became more silent the more they watched, and more puzzled, too.
They could tell that Chen Dalong hadn’t undergone any professional training, and that he was able to deal with these Mutated Beings with such nonchalance due entirely to his extraordinary physical capabilities which defied common sense.
While various thoughts emerged in everyone’s minds, Chen Dalong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
