After listening to Feng Jun’s explanation, Chen Dalong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Regardless of the dangers that lay ahead, at least for the next one or two hours, the attack of the mutated beings would not be too strong, and that was enough.
Of course, even so, he didn’t take the situation lightly. Instead, he inquired about the details, “So, how do you plan to deal with these mutated beings?”
“Mutated mosquitoes and mutated flies are easier to handle, even if they’ve broken through to Second Order, the newly developed potent insecticide can still poison them to death.”
“Of course, the spraying might take a bit longer, the First Order mutated mosquitoes and flies would normally die within 10 seconds.”
“After they have reached Second Order, this might extend to about a minute, but it’s not a big problem. By then, we’ll be wearing protective gear, and it’ll be hard for them to affect us,”
“As for the mutated cockroaches, they might be a little more troublesome to deal with. Just potent insecticide probably won’t be enough to kill them all, so we’ll combine it with a fire attack.”
Feng Jun said, pointing toward the defensive line ahead, “On our line of defense, there’s a flamethrower set up every 5 meters, along with a large number of incendiary bottles. When necessary, we can turn the whole street into a sea of fire, which should take care of ninety-nine percent of the mutated cockroaches.”
“Even if some slip through, the number won’t be large, and they won’t pose a big threat to us.”
At this point, Feng Jun’s expression became slightly more serious, “The biggest threat, then, is those mutated mice.”
“I’ve estimated that if these mutated mice break through our defenses and close combat becomes necessary, each of my men can handle up to three mutated mice at a time. Any more than that would be overwhelming.”
“So the main issue is how to deal with these mutated mice.”
After finishing his explanation, Feng Jun looked at Chen Dalong expectantly.
“Feng, looking at me won’t help! I can’t be in multiple places at once, and even if I could fight, I wouldn’t be able to cover the whole street!” Chen Dalong spread his hands helplessly.
Feng Jun nodded and said, “I know that, but if you and your security officers form a support team to quickly resolve any problems that arise, that would be the greatest help to us.”
He knew Chen Dalong wasn’t very knowledgeable about military affairs, so after finishing, he added, “What we’re most worried about are those mutated mice delaying my soldiers.”
“My men are all veterans; given guns, they can kill at least 30 mutated mice in a minute.”
“But if the mutated mice breach and engage them in close combat, they might not even manage to kill three to five in that same time.”
Now Chen Dalong fully understood, “My task is to eliminate the mutated mice on the defense line as quickly as possible, to unleash the combat power of your soldiers, right?”
“Exactly,” Feng Jun nodded.
This task required someone with extremely strong combat power.
“Then there’s no problem, leave it to me,” Chen Dalong said confidently, thumping his chest.
…
Time slipped by, and Ye Feng in Sunset Valley was constantly keeping an eye on the changes in his territory.
“Nearly sixty percent of the mutated insects show signs of breakthrough. This change might be even more significant than the last two Spiritual Energy Resurgences,” Ye Feng sighed lightly.
In his view, this was the third large-scale Spiritual Energy Resurgence.
The first one, of course, occurred half a year ago, when mutated beings appeared.
The second one was three months ago, with the advent of mutated plants.
This was now the third time, and the Spiritual Energy Resurgence had not yet ended. As night fell, the concentration of Spiritual Energy started to increase more rapidly, as if there was no limit.

“Compared to yesterday, the concentration of Spiritual Energy has increased by almost 10%. If it keeps rising like this, humanity could be in trouble.”
This Spiritual Energy Resurgence would surely lead to a surge of Second Order mutated beings. If it stopped there, humans might still cope.
But if the Spiritual Energy continued to rise, leading to a large emergence of Third Order mutated creatures, that would be a disaster for humanity.
Of course, aside from considering these national crises, Ye Feng naturally also thought about his own problems.
However, this Spiritual Energy Resurgence was largely beneficial to him personally.
The most direct benefit was the increased concentration of Spiritual Energy, which meant trees absorbed it faster, leading to an increase in the Spirit Points he could harvest per hour.
Also, as more animals started to mutate, his subordinates’ food problems would be greatly alleviated.
Beyond these immediate advantages, there were also several indirect ones.
As mutated insects en masse achieved breakthroughs and a majority of animals began mutating, Yang City’s safety issues would become more severe.
In such conditions, the likelihood of the authorities taking action against him would decrease significantly.
After all, if “home” problems weren’t solved yet, there’d be no capacity to deal with external ones.
Besides, security companies like Chen Dalong’s would definitely gain more attention in these circumstances.
Previously, the highest rank Chen Dalong could be promoted to was that of an honorary captain, but now, chances were that further promotional paths would be opened, and some real authority might be granted.
Of course, alongside the benefits, there were problems too.
For instance, Chen Dalong’s security company had accepted a protection mission from Red Star Tech. Before, dispatching just one Second Order mutated creature would have sufficiently intimidated opponents, but now, at least Third Order creatures would be necessary, and even one might not be enough.
“I still need to grow stronger! I have to cultivate Fourth Order mutated creatures so they can be decisive in crucial moments,” Ye Feng mused, weighing gains and losses. But suddenly, as if sensing something, his attention shifted from the mutated insects to the mutated trees surrounding him.
The ginkgo tree and banyan tree next to him began to grow rapidly.
“Are they about to breakthrough?”
Ye Feng was surprised as he hadn’t expected the current Spiritual Energy Resurgence to even affect the plants.
And it wasn’t just a few trees. As he looked around, at least one-tenth of the trees in Sunset Valley had started to shoot up.
After his initial shock, Ye Feng felt pleased.
With this, he wouldn’t be so conspicuous.
“Moreover, with so many plants breaking through, it would be odd if I didn’t, right?” Ye Feng murmured to himself.
His Evolution Points had been maxed out for a while, and he hadn’t broken through only because it was a clear moonlit night and he was worried about satellites overhead, so he had been holding back.
But now…
Without hesitation, Ye Feng chose to break through to Fourth Order.
