Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 140 - 128 Crisis Over_3

It was only when Chen Dalong saw these messages that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, his desire to become stronger grew even more.

"Judging by the time, in just over an hour, I’ll probably be able to break through again," Chen Dalong glanced at his watch, murmuring to himself.

However, this time he dared not break through so brazenly because it had only been a few hours since his last breakthrough. If he were to break through again, he feared he would be invited to cooperate with the researchers.

As Chen Dalong was figuring out when he could find an opportunity to break through, suddenly, a cheer erupted from the defense lines.

He looked around with some confusion and quickly noticed that the Mutated Mosquitoes and Mutated Flies in the sky had started to retreat voluntarily.

The Mutated Cockroaches on the ground had also begun to withdraw.

At the same time, he checked the time, and nearly 5 minutes had passed since the last Mutated Mouse attack. Logically, the next wave of Mutated Mice should have begun to gather by now, but there was no movement at all.

All these phenomena unambiguously indicated that the Mutated Beings were retreating and that this major crisis was coming to an end.

Of course, this was all speculation, and whether the crisis was truly over still needed confirmation by the military sending out scout teams.

The wait was not long; after 10 minutes, all soldiers stationed on the defense lines received orders to rest in place for an hour and then begin the counteroffensive.

Meanwhile, on the official website of Yang City, the news that the crisis had been averted was instantly announced.

Soon, cheers erupted throughout the city, with many people even crying tears of joy.

It was at this moment that another piece of news shot to the top of Yang City’s trending searches.

#Mutated Mice in Mass Retreat#

Chen Dalong, curious, clicked on the video and saw two to three thousand Mutated Mice emerging from sewer covers and then converging together.

This seemed similar to how they would gather before an attack, but after assembling, these Mutated Mice did not head towards the safe zone; instead, they surged out of the city.

To be precise, they headed in the direction of the Donglin Mountain Range.

And this situation didn’t occur in just one place; successive groups of mice were doing the same, retreating as if it was an organized evacuation.

Chen Dalong marveled at this scene and, suddenly thinking of something, couldn’t help but send a message to Lord Parrot.

Soon, his phone received a reply. Reading the content, he was momentarily stunned.

"So, it was really Lord Rat King who did it," Chen Dalong murmured in a low voice, his eyes revealing an uncontrollable shock.

Yes, it was a command issued by Ye Feng.

After all, the Mutated Mice remaining in the city would eventually be killed, so instead of that, it was better to have them all enter the Donglin Mountain Range.

While many animals had already mutated, the total number of Mutated Animals was still not large.

At least, as of now, over 98% of the Mutated Beings were Mutated Insects.

Moving these Mutated Mice into the Donglin Mountain Range would undoubtedly greatly improve this situation.

Seeking food, the Mutated Mice would surely hunt Mutated Insects, thereby somewhat curbing the breeding and development of Mutated Insects.

Most importantly, many of the animals he was raising were carnivorous, and there was no way they could all be sustained just by his Energy Fruits.

These Mutated Mice could become a good source of food.

And with the rapid breeding rate of the Mutated Mice, there was no need to worry too much about them being wiped out.
