Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 659 - 375 Bombing Plan_2

Hearing this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just this kind of judgment, then there certainly wouldn’t be a problem; no one knew the combat power of those mutated animals better than he did.

"Then I’ll have Chief of Staff Chen Youli explain the current situation to you first, and afterward, you can decide whether our combat plan is feasible," Zhao Guofeng said briefly and continued discussing the bombing matters with several generals.

Standing by, Chief of Staff Chen Youli made a ’please’ gesture towards Ye Feng, and then the two moved to a backup sand table nearby.

Chen Youli turned on the projector above the sand table and started to explain, "Half an hour ago, the mutated creature army began their assault, and they’ve launched three attacks during this period."

"However, it’s been 10 minutes since the last attack, which is longer than any before. We suspect that they’re amassing their main force."

At this point, Ye Feng couldn’t help interjecting, "Wait, you said the mutated creature army has launched three attacks; what does that make the current situation?"

Even though they were in the staff headquarters, which was equipped with soundproofing, the sound of intense gunfire still came through the walls clearly.

"Our definition of an attack is when the enemy deploys a large number of Sixth Order mutant animals."

"What we’re seeing now should be categorized as harassment. Mostly Sixth Order mutant insects are coming, and our 2nd Generation Destroyer Hand Cannons can easily kill them, so the threat they pose is limited."

"Besides, when it’s not an attack, the formation of these mutated beings is quite sparse, presumably to avoid our artillery shelling," Chen Youli explained.

Ye Feng nodded in silence, realizing how troublesome it would be now that these mutated creatures understood the use of tactics.

Seeing Ye Feng nod, Chen Youli continued, "The problem we’re facing now is that we’re running out of ammunition."

"Running out of ammunition?" Ye Feng was slightly stunned again; it shouldn’t be like this.

After all, this place was being prepared to upgrade to a military fortress. Even though the upgrade wasn’t complete, that referred to the fortifications, the ammunition should have already been in place.

Chen Youli said with a bitter smile, "Yes, because we never anticipated facing such a situation! Initially, according to our estimates, even if large numbers of mutated animals appeared here, their quantity was not expected to exceed five million."

"And we calculated based on normal proportions, which meant the majority would be Third and Fourth Order mutant animals, with Fifth and Sixth Orders comprising only a minority of the high-end forces."

"But according to the latest count, there are about 500,000 mutant animals and the number of mutant insects has reached 10 million. These figures far exceed our expectations."

"On top of that, their realms are just too high; even the weakest among them is of the Fifth Order."

"This directly resulted in some of our standard shells, like the high-explosive, mortar, and incendiary grenades, having a limited effect when used against them."

"Now, the only thing that can cause large-scale damage is the thermostatic shell, but their numbers are limited. Even with urgent requests from other cities, we haven’t managed to gather more than 300, which is far from enough."

After hearing the other party’s words, Ye Feng couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback, "That shouldn’t be the case, right?"

"If I remember correctly, even the standard model thermostatic shells have an effective killing diameter of 5 kilometers, right?"

"Even if these Fifth and Sixth Order mutant animals have strong life energy, they’re certain to die if they’re within the central 3-kilometer radius of the explosion."

"If we detonate a thermostatic shell while they’re sieging and their formation is dense, I won’t say too much, but killing 1,000 mutant animals shouldn’t be difficult, right?"

"300 thermostatic shells could kill about 300,000 mutant animals; that should be enough to severely damage them, shouldn’t it?"

Listening to Ye Feng’s words, Chen Youli responded with a bittersweet smile, "What you described is the ideal theoretical data."

"But how could the enemy possibly cooperate with us to that extent."

"Not to mention anything else, just trying to penetrate their interception net and delivering the thermostatic shells accurately is a challenge. Our staff department has already come up with no less than 10 plans, but none of them can be considered fully appropriate."

"Their interception net?" Ye Feng frowned involuntarily.

"Yes, we’ve used missiles before, and those mutated insects would just fly up and use their bodies to block the missiles, ensuring the safety of the mutated animals."

"Sixth Order mutated insects, with a flight speed that has already broken the sound barrier, can use just about 100 of them to form a defensive net, making our missiles practically incapable of getting through," said Chen Youli.

Ye Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly thought of a possibility and said, "Can’t we deploy decoy shells to draw away those intercepting mutated insects?"

"That’s feasible," Chen Youli affirmed with a nod, and said, "In fact, that’s one of the plans we’ve come up with. However, there are problems, as you know. Most insects can fly, so they can form many interception nets."

"Even with our best data calculations, in the most ideal situation, we can only guarantee that at most 30% of thermostatic shells reach their intended target. If conditions are less than ideal, I’m afraid less than 10% will make it."

"Moreover, this kind of deception tactic won’t work a second time, so deciding when to use it is also a problem we need to think about now."

Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn’t help but glance at Zhao Guofeng and others who were arguing nearby.

"I see, is this also why you called me over?" Ye Feng said.

"Yes!" Chen Youli nodded, "Actually, the best timing for deployment is after several rounds of attrition between both sides, and when the battle is at its most intense. That’s when we put everything in at once for the best effect, but our casualties would increase under such circumstances."

"Now we need to consider whether we can deploy the thermostatic shells as early as possible?"

"Also, in selecting targets, which mutated animals should we strike to have the greatest impact on the battle? I would like to hear your thoughts on these matters," Chen added.

Ye Feng remained silent, his mind racing.

Of course, he wasn’t pondering the issues that the other party raised but instead contemplating the feasibility of the idea in his mind.

Suddenly, he asked, "Can these thermostatic shells be detonated remotely?"

Chen Youli: ???

"Could it be that you have a new idea?" Chen Youli asked, frowning.

Although he asked, there was a hint of skepticism in his heart. He found it hard to believe that Ye Feng’s intelligence could surpass their entire staff. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Indeed, I have a thought. I possess the Teleport Ability, so I can directly transport the warheads to the designated spot, and you can detonate them remotely," Ye Feng explained.

Chen Youli, who had been somewhat dismissive at first, suddenly widened his eyes.

His breathing became heavier, and the next moment, he turned and shouted, "General Zhao, no need to argue anymore, General Ye has the perfect solution here."

Immediately after, he quickly repeated Ye Feng’s words just now.

The expressions on everyone’s faces unanimously turned ecstatic.

"Haha, that’s excellent! With this method, our thermostatic shells will be unstoppable!" One of the generals clapped his hands in approval.

"We were thinking too narrowly. It’s different now from before. In future battle considerations, we should also take into account the abilities of the superhumans," Zhao Guofeng remarked with feeling.

With Ye Feng providing the perfect solution, the rest was easy; they just needed to augment and polish it.

As for remote detonation, it was a trivial matter for them. They simply had to dismantle the warhead and then retrofit it with a new detonation mechanism.

These tasks did not require Ye Feng’s concern. Zhao Guofeng and his team only needed to understand the limits of Ye Feng’s Space Transposition Ability in detail before they started reformulating their plans.

Since Ye Feng felt he had little to do at the staff headquarters, after only a brief stay, he headed to the city walls, wanting to contribute his part.
