Chen Dalong ended the call with Zhang Ji and with some trepidation called Lord Parrot.
The phone was quickly connected, and Chen Dalong immediately recounted the situation in detail.
“That’s fine, but you must keep an eye on the Ye Family and if they encounter any danger, you have to rescue them right away,” the Mutated Parrot said after a moment’s consideration.
Relieved upon hearing this, Chen Dalong immediately assured that he would handle the matter flawlessly.
He then called Zhang Ji again, “Captain Zhang, the employer has agreed.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange for people to swap guard on West Tai Street for better coordination with you. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up,” Zhang Ji said briefly, ready to end the call.
“Captain Zhang, wait a moment,” Chen Dalong hurriedly interjected.
“What else is there?” Zhang Ji asked.
“There’s something I’m not sure if you’re aware of, but the increase in Spiritual Energy concentration and the advancement of Mutated Insects is just the first step.”
“Next, there will be a massive mutation among animals, including the cats and dogs in our city,” Chen Dalong disclosed the news he had just learned.
“What did you say!!!” Zhang Ji’s voice rose sharply.
Because he was fully aware of what that meant.
Although cats and dogs retained their memories and emotions after mutation, they also became significantly more aggressive.
This was likely a result of their dramatic increase in strength.
If not dealt with promptly, it could easily lead to people getting hurt.
Research suggested that these domestic animals had a fifty percent chance of turning on their owners if commanded to work as before after mutating.
Of course, this didn’t mean they would be harmless just by being pampered with good food and care.
They wouldn’t attack their former owners, but they would attack other people.
House cats were somewhat manageable because of their small size; their attacking ability wouldn’t be too strong in the first few days after mutation, giving some time to handle the situation.
But it was different for domestic dogs, especially the larger breeds that had considerable fighting ability to begin with. After mutation, they could compete with tigers and leopards.
Zhang Ji took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and asked in a grave tone, “Will all the cats and dogs in the city mutate?”
“Not all, but a large portion will,” Chen Dalong replied.
Even though it wasn’t all, the thought of a large portion was enough to give Zhang Ji a throbbing headache.
“Lastly, I want to confirm, how sure are you about this guess?” Zhang Ji asked seriously.
“Seventy to eighty percent,” Chen Dalong said, which was the same answer he had given for the previous guess about Mutated Insects advancing.
Zhang Ji, recognizing the familiar response, felt a twitch in his eyelid.
“I understand, if your guess is correct, you’ll be credited for this,” said Zhang Ji before quickly hanging up the call.
Their manpower was already stretched thin, and this news only added fuel to the fire, indicating how busy the upcoming period would be.
After hanging up, Chen Dalong didn’t worry about it any further; he had said what he needed to and made the necessary warnings.
Vehicles were speeding down the road. Due to the impending outbreak of Mutated Beings, the government had advised residents to stay indoors, leaving the streets nearly empty of cars.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Dalong and his companions arrived at Donghua Street and quickly located number 56.
“Wait here!” Chen Dalong instructed.
He then got out of the car alone, straightened his suit and tie, making sure his appearance was acceptable, before politely knocking on the door.
Creak!
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing work clothes peered out, asking with puzzlement and caution, “Who are you?”
“Hello, may I speak with Mr. Ye Xiangfeng, please?” Chen Dalong asked gently, trying to sound calm and friendly.
‘Yes!’ Ye Xiangfeng nodded and asked, “What can I do for you?”
“I’m Chen Dalong, the owner of Mad Dragon Security Company. Here’s my business card,” Chen Dalong said as he took out a gold-embossed card from his jacket pocket and handed it over.
Ye Xiangfeng took the card and glanced at it, and the wariness in his eyes diminished somewhat.
“We didn’t call for security service, did we?” Ye Xiangfeng said.
“Here’s the thing, on August 29th, we accepted a commission from your son, Ye Feng. If a crisis with Mutated Animals erupts within the year, our company will come forward to protect your family three times. And now we’re here to provide the first protection,” Chen Dalong relayed the made-up reason, then added, “Don’t worry, it’s been paid for.”
Hearing this, Ye Xiangfeng was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly moist, “So it’s like that. Boss Chen, please come in for a cup of tea.”
“Next time! I have other things to attend to. I just came to let you know that security personnel from our company will be arriving soon to carry out the protection duty,” Chen Dalong responded.
“Just one block away on West Tai Street is a danger zone, so this place might not be safe either. Please lock your doors and windows later. Our company’s security staff will be on patrol outside – just call on them if you need anything,” Chen Dalong continued.
After finishing, he returned to the coach and called over Li Huosheng and Liu Wenhua.

One was his confidant, the other was the best fighter among the discharged soldiers. Chen Dalong planned to entrust them with this task.
“You five will stay here and ensure the safety of this family, making sure they won’t encounter any danger,” Chen Dalong instructed seriously.
“Yes, Boss!” Li Huosheng and Liu Wenhua said in unison.
Pleased, Chen Dalong nodded, then selected three more discharged soldiers to form a five-man squad.
Looking at these five, he felt it still wasn’t safe enough, so he summoned ten more discharged soldiers to come over.
To the ten additional men, Chen Dalong said, “Stay here for now. Once the military sends out a combat team, you can proceed to West Tai Street to meet up with me.”
Li Huosheng and Liu Wenhua exchanged glances, both detecting surprise in each other’s eyes.
Chen Dalong’s actions demonstrated the level of importance he placed on this mission.
After all, there were only fifteen discharged soldiers in the entire security company, and he had called out fourteen of them.
In terms of equipment, not only was each person equipped with an automatic service rifle, but Chen Dalong also instructed them to carry a heavy machine gun and a rocket launcher.
