Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 141 - 129 City Wall Construction Plan_1

The evacuation of the Mutated Mice from Yang City was swift.

Because it didn’t require complex maneuvers, all it took was for the Mutated Rat King to issue a command, gathering the mice near the sewers.

Then, by directing them towards the Donglin Mountain Range, that would be sufficient.

Although the Mutated Rat King did not follow them, this command would not last very long; even en route, many Mutated Mice would escape, and it was estimated that less than half would reach the Donglin Mountain Range.

But these details were inconsequential; even if a single command could only move 1,000 Mutated Mice, then issuing 100 commands would send over 100,000.

And the Mutated Mice that escaped midway would eventually gather together again; the Mutated Rat King could pass by later and issue another command.

In such a manner, these Mutated Mice began their evacuation in a somewhat eerie way.

At the outset, in fact, many people were worried, but later, when they found that the Mutated Mice were simply evacuating without any other actions, everyone couldn’t help but cheer.

The departure of the Mutated Mice would directly make the subsequent eradication efforts vastly easier.

Because after the evacuation of the Mutated Mice, the remaining Mutated Mosquitoes, Mutated Flies, and Mutated Cockroaches could all be dealt with using powerful insecticides.

After a night of battle, in fact, only a third of the Mutated Beings remained.

If the threat of the Mutated Mice was gone, they were even confident that the remaining third of Mutated Beings could be eliminated within 24 hours.

After all, the residents of the danger zone had already been evacuated; it was entirely possible to employ more aggressive methods to deal with these threats.

For example, the use of powerful insecticide sprays over a large area without any reservations, covering entire streets.

As for the corpses of the Mutated Beings, they could be cleaned up afterward.

Hence, the official website of Yang City issued an announcement.

In light of the evacuation of the Mutated Mice, the military hopes to clear all Mutated Beings within 24 hours and restore order within 48 hours.

With the release of this announcement, immediately a lot of netizens began a heated discussion below it.

Moon Altar Breeze: "That’s great, are we safe now? Finally, I can sleep soundly."

Tian Family No. 2: "Look at the situation in other cities. Although the Mutated Beings are no longer attacking, their Mutated Mice aren’t fleeing. Why is Yang City so odd? Is this situation good or bad?"

Joy In This Life: "It’s definitely a good thing! No matter what, the Mutated Mice have left, and it won’t be so easy for them to come back. The most important thing now is to resume production."

...

At this time, in the military’s highest meeting room, Bai Yinghui and a group of senior military officials were also discussing this matter.

"Based on the information we’ve gathered, there’s at least an 80 percent chance that these Mutated Mice are moving en masse towards the Donglin Mountain Range due to the handiwork of that Mutated King Cobra," Chief of Staff Jian Yi said.

These words immediately caused the brows of the senior military officials to furrow even more deeply.

"Is it flexing its muscles at us? Telling us it can make these Mutated Mice leave but also send them back to attack us?" Colonel Gao Duguang asked coldly from his seat.

"Colonel, you’re still as impetuous. Perhaps the other side has no ulterior motive and just wants to offer a helping hand, showing a friendly gesture," Zhang Ji suggested from the side.

"I don’t believe these mutants have such good intentions," Gao Duguang said with a cold laugh.

"Judge by actions, not intentions. Regardless of what it’s thinking, this incident is helping us; I think that’s how we should classify it," Zhang Ji stated bluntly.

Upon hearing this, some in the room frowned, while others looked enlightened.

At this moment, Bai Yinghui, who was sitting at the head of the table, nodded in approval, "Indeed, let’s treat this event as help from the other side. In two days, when we meet at Dongjiang Wetland Park, we may even need to express our gratitude."

With these words, how could anyone in the room not understand Commander Bai Yinghui’s intention?

This was a ladder extended proactively to achieve cooperation!

Bai Yinghui paused before continuing, "Of course, we must not overlook the precautions we need to take."

"If we fall out with the Mutated King Cobra, these Mutated Mice could potentially become weapons for them to attack us. We need to establish a plan for our defense strategy," he added.

At this, Chief of Staff Jian Yi chimed in: "Actually, our staff department already has a detailed plan for this."

"This Spiritual Energy Resurgence has not only affected the Mutated Beings within the city; in fact, the greater trouble comes from the Mutated Creatures in the wild."

"So for the safety of Yang City, we plan to build a defensive wall surrounding the entire city, right through the suburbs. The defenses towards the Donglin Mountain Range will then become our top priority."

"Once the defensive wall is built, it won’t just be the Mutated Mice we’re stopping; even if we break off relations with the Mutated King Cobra and it sends an Animal Army to attack, we’ll ensure they’re defeated right on the spot."

Upon hearing this, shocked expressions inevitably appeared on everyone’s faces.

"A defensive wall around the entire Yang City, wouldn’t that be hundreds of kilometers?" Gao Duguang couldn’t help but speak out.

"To be precise, 157 kilometers. But our city’s pillar industry is mining; we can provide over 90% of the materials ourselves. This is entirely feasible," Jian Yi promptly responded.
