Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 129 - 123 Happiness Troubles_1

As Bai Yinghui finished speaking, a deep contemplation fell over the assembly of military officers.

Ultimately, it was Jian Yi, the chief of staff, who first broke the silence. "I agree with Commander Bai’s plan. The threat posed by mutated beings will surely increase. Recruiting a group, dividing another, and suppressing yet another is indeed the best choice."

"Especially the threat from the Donglin Mountain Range. With the current resurgence of Spiritual Energy, it will become exceptionally huge. If the mutated beings inside were to really come out and attack Yang City, relying solely on our defenses, we would probably suffer heavy casualties."

"If this Mutated King Cobra is really willing to cooperate with us and help alleviate some of our pressure, even if it’s just by detaining some of the powerful mutated beings, it could have a huge impact on the battle situation."

"Of course, this might be the first time humans will cooperate with mutated beings, and we are not sure if their intentions are sincere or a trap."

"Therefore, I suggest we report this matter immediately. It would be best to have a group of experts from the capital come to assist. Even if we encounter trouble, we will have more support."

Jian Yi’s words, of course, were also recognized by everyone present.

Then, the subject of the meeting shifted to how to better carry out the cooperation.

But since their intelligence was so limited, they could only draft some rather rough plans.

"That’s roughly the situation. If no one has any objections, then let’s settle on that. Next, we’ll move on to the following agenda item," Bai Yinghui said, looking towards Jian Yi.

Jian Yi nodded, cleared his throat gently, and after everyone’s attention turned to him, he glanced at the meeting agenda and said, "The matter of the Mutated King Cobra is a big one. Now with public opinion on the internet in an uproar, how should we handle it? Do we need to lower its intensity?"

"I don’t think that’s necessary," Zhang Ji was the first to speak.

"As mutated beings continue to evolve, we can expect the emergence of more inconceivable abilities. Such situations are bound to occur and become more frequent."

"Instead of lowering the intensity, it might be better to let the public adapt in advance."

"Although this may cause panic, it will also make people more aware of the dangerous situation we are now in, and recruiting soldiers in the future will be much more convenient."

Following Zhang Ji’s remarks, Captain Luo also chimed in: "I agree. After all, we still have to negotiate cooperation with the Mutated King Cobra. If the negotiation fails, there’s nothing more to say."

"But if the negotiation succeeds, they will definitely be present on the battlefield, and that would be difficult to explain."

Most of the military officers present expressed their agreement upon hearing this.

Aside from these factors, in the six months since the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, the country had already made ample preparations.

Allowing the news about superhumans to top the trending searches was, in fact, a signal; many things could now be made public. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Good. Since that’s the case, we won’t concern ourselves with this. However, the previously decided work on guiding public opinion must still be carried out. We must do well with the ranking of superhumans, and we need to establish our heroic models," Bai Yinghui decisively declared.

...

The other half of Ye Feng, possessing the Mutated Black Crow, had been observing the army’s movements.

He had only tried sending out his message through the thick fog as an attempt.

Unexpectedly, the Rapid Reaction Forces had really halted in place.

A smile couldn’t help but appear on his face; their lack of action was already a signal.

After some thought, he ordered his subordinates, who had already left, to return and continue herding the still-scattered animals from Yang City Zoo.

Although only one-tenth of the animals remained, this was still a significant number for Ye Feng.

The duration of the fog was not long; it began to disperse after only five minutes.

For Ye Feng had no more Power of Faith within him.

After all, the area covered by the fog was quite extensive, stretching from Yang City Zoo to the nearby woods, shrouded in fog throughout.

After all, these were considered "danger zones."

And once within the woods, with the present height of the vegetation, they could easily conceal all the animals.

"It’s really been accomplished," Ye Feng revealed a smile.

He glanced over, confirming that not a single animal was left behind. Controlling the King Cobra, he too quickly left while the fog had not yet fully dissipated.

Before leaving, he used his tail to write a line in the earth.

"Three days later, at Dongjiang Wetland Park."

This was the time and place he had chosen for the negotiation.

The reason for selecting this location was twofold: one was because the top-ranked Mutated Crocodile King was often spotted nearby, and choosing this place could confuse the enemy, leaving them uncertain of the true scale of his forces.

Of course, if he really encountered the Mutated Crocodile King, Ye Feng wouldn’t mind capturing it as well.

The second reason was that Dongjiang Wetland Park was also within 10 kilometers in a straight line, which meant during the negotiation, if needed, he could deploy another Faith Skill.

The withdrawal of the main forces proceeded in an orderly fashion without any surprises, smoothly moving from the woods into the Donglin Mountain Range.
