Chapter 124: Chapter 120 Military Response_1
`Hush!
After a moment of dead silence, the meeting room suddenly erupted into a buzz of astonishment.
The intelligence displayed by the Mutated King Cobra was terrifying enough, but if it also knew how to use a smartphone…
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
“How was this discovered?” Bai Yinghui took a deep breath to compose himself before inquiring solemnly.
Zhang Ji did not hide anything, immediately sharing the findings and deductions made by Xiao Hua and Li Yongming.
“At that time, I even considered using my authority during a crisis to coordinate their investigation and pinpoint the King Cobra’s location, but the Mutated Beings crisis erupted, and we simply had no time to deal with it.”
“However, now looking at the powers that this Mutated King Cobra holds, I don’t know whether to be glad we didn’t do that. Otherwise, if we had only sent a large team based on the wrong strength assessment, they would probably have been wiped out,” Zhang Ji sighed.
The others remained speechless for a long time.
They all understood that Zhang Ji’s actions were not at fault, they could only say their response… was too late.
“Ah, if we could have spent manpower and resources on a massive, carpet-style search when the Mutated King Cobra first appeared, perhaps we could have nipped it in the bud,” voiced a battalion commander with a sigh.
“Old Gao, stop playing Monday morning quarterback! Even if we had known about this situation back then, we couldn’t have launched such a massive search. Wouldn’t we have to stop clearing out the ‘Four Pests’ in the city? If we hadn’t rushed to clear them in the last three days, who knows how many more people would have died in this crisis of Mutated Beings,” said another battalion commander.
“Enough, let’s not talk about the past. The current question is, how do we solve the problem with these Mutated Animals? I feel that even with our Rapid Reaction Forces deployed, they may not be able to completely wipe them out. How about we launch a few ‘Reaper’ missiles over there?” Chief Of Staff Jianyi, who was sitting to the side, nudged his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and suggested.
Hearing his suggestion, all the battalion commanders stopped arguing and turned their eyes to Bai Yinghui.
Bai Yinghui paused to think, about to speak, when Zhang Ji preemptively said, “If we’re going to use missiles, I suggest not using small ones like the ‘Reaper.’ I’ve tried them against the Mutated Wolf King before, and the effect was not good.”
“My suggestion is to directly deploy the ‘Patrol Heaven’ missile and flatten the entire Yang City Zoo.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression turned to one of shock.
“Is that really necessary?” Chief Of Staff Jianyi couldn’t help but ask.
“I know you might think this is overkill. But I have a feeling that even with the ‘Patrol Heaven’ missile, we might not be able to kill this Mutated King Cobra. Don’t ask me why, it’s just a hunch,” said Zhang Ji, spreading his hands.
The room fell silent once again. They could not ignore the words of Zhang Ji, who had fought against the Mutated Wolf King and likely had a clearer understanding of how terrifying the top-ranked Mutated Beings were.
After a brief silence, it was Bai Yinghui who finally nodded and said, “Alright, notify the missile troops to prepare to launch the ‘Patrol Heaven’ missile.”
“Additionally, contact the Rapid Reaction Forces and have them stop within a 500-meter radius of Yang City Zoo, wait for the ‘Patrol Heaven’ missile bombardment to finish, then move in to clean up the battlefield.”

West Tai Street.
Just now, they repelled another wave of Mutated Rats, and battalion commanders Shen Chen, Feng Jun, and Li Yongming were all furrowing their brows tightly.
Their fire attack plan had already been revised three times, but the results were still far from satisfactory.
Just now, several Mutated Mice that breached the fire blockade didn’t attack the soldiers in front but instead pounced towards the logistics personnel at the back, ready to extinguish the fire at any moment.
Fortunately, Chen Dalong was holding the line. Seeing this situation, he rushed to rescue them immediately, preventing any chaos from unfolding.
“We need to revise the plan. The position of the logistics troops must be moved further back, at least 5 meters away,” said Shen Chen with a frown.
“But if we do that, we won’t be able to extinguish the fires immediately, which could lead to the soldiers’ protective suits being burned through,” Feng Jun immediately countered.
“If the protective suits are burned, we’ll replace them. Compared to human life, that’s nothing. As long as we keep the number of protective suits damaged below ten after each rat tide attack, I think that’s acceptable,” Shen Chen promptly offered a different suggestion.
Unable to agree, both spontaneously turned their eyes towards Li Yongming.
“I think it’s worth a try, and as long as the response is timely, the protective suits might not really be burned. If it doesn’t work out, we can always revise the plan again,” Li Yongming immediately said.
With just a few words, the new plan was quickly settled.
Next came the personnel and formation adjustments.
But as they looked toward the defensive line, their expressions couldn’t help but darken slightly.

“What are you all doing? The next wave of rats could arrive at any moment. At a time like this, can you afford to be looking at your smartphones?” Shen Chen walked up to a squad leader, scolding him.
“Report to the commander!” The squad leader quickly saluted and replied, “At Yang City Zoo, a large number of dangerous list-level mutated beings have appeared. This is the first time we have observed the combined action of mutated beings, and they possess extremely high intelligence.”
“We are discussing how we should deal with these mutated animals if we encounter them.”
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise couldn’t help but show on Shen Chen’s face.
It wasn’t just him; Feng Jun, Li Yongming, and even Chen Dalong, who was resting nearby, instantly gathered around.
The squad leader, knowing what was of interest, immediately handed over his phone to the three battalion commanders, where Qin Xiaohui’s live stream was currently being displayed.
“This… This must be the work of that Mutated King Cobra. I knew before that it was a menace, but I never imagined its harm could be this great,” Li Yongming said with a face full of shock.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chilling sensation on his back, as if some ferocious beast was stalking him.
Chen Dalong withdrew his gaze, while keeping his head down, trying not to let others see his expression.
The shock in his heart was no less than that of anyone else’s.
Before, Lord Parrot had said that Dragon Lord intended to do something big.
He had truly not expected it to be something of this magnitude.
This was a raid on the entire zoo! If successful, then afterwards, Dragon Lord’s power was likely to increase dramatically.
Thinking about having tigers and lions as his bodyguards excited him so much he could hardly contain himself.
Of course, along with the excitement came worry.
This incident had already spread online; the military couldn’t possibly be unaware.
Perhaps the troops were already on their way. Facing the military’s encirclement, could Dragon Lord, who had not yet recovered, really escape?
At this moment, nobody noticed Chen Dalong’s expression; everyone’s attention was unavoidably on Li Yongming.
“What’s going on, Old Li? It seems like you recognize that Mutated King Cobra! Tell us about it!” Feng Jun hurriedly urged.
“Didn’t I leave the team for a while to carry out a special mission? It was about this very creature.”
Li Yongming promptly recounted everything he had done and discovered during that time.
When he mentioned attempting to use mobile phone tracking to locate the Mutated King Cobra, Chen Dalong, who had been secretly eavesdropping, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Nowadays, SIM cards require real-name registration, and the phone he had obtained for Lord Parrot was registered under his own name!
If the other party were to investigate…
“The intelligence of these mutated beings has risen to such a level? Speaking of which, I lost a phone in the wild a few days ago; I wonder if it was picked up by some mutated being and put to use,” Chen Dalong muttered under his breath.
His voice was soft, but it reached the ears of the circle of people around him.
He didn’t know if his quick ‘patch’ was effective, but it was better than doing nothing. Moreover, he had already decided to inform Lord Parrot at the first opportunity and relay the situation to him.
“Brother Chen, rest assured. Mutated beings of such high intelligence are extremely rare, so there’s no need to worry,” Li Yongming said, offering comfort, under the impression that Chen Dalong was concerned about his lost phone becoming a tool for a mutated being.
Chen Dalong smiled, “Then I’m relieved.”
Curious, he asked, “You all are from the military system, and I’m very curious: facing such a situation, how does the military respond?”
Shen Chen replied this time, “For such high-risk emergencies, we generally call on the Rapid Reaction Forces.”
“The Rapid Reaction Forces have the strongest comprehensive strength and the best equipment, and they are usually accompanied by one or two artillery squads.”
“With the current situation, they might even deploy an artillery brigade. A round of artillery fire could take down any level of mutated being. If they dare set foot in the city, they are seeking death.”
As Shen Chen spoke, the soldiers around them all displayed looks of confidence.
To them, there was no creature that couldn’t be dealt with a single artillery shell. If one wasn’t enough, then use two.
At that moment, the view on the phone shifted—it seemed that the person responsible for the live stream had changed the camera angle—capturing 10 armored vehicles speeding towards Yang City Zoo.
In that instant, the live chat erupted in a frenzy of comments.
