Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Green with Envy_1
The military was launching its first large-scale incursion into Donglin Mountain Range to eliminate Mutated Beings.
It was obvious that this eradication mission would yield a massive number of mutant corpses.
Therefore, both Yangcheng Research Institute and the Mutant Management Bureau had sent people over specially.
Naturally, the military welcomed this since it was a win-win situation.
With these professionals on site, the task of identifying Mutated Beings could be entrusted to them.
Compared to Zhang Ji, who cared more about whether the mission was completed, these accompanying researchers were only interested in what kind of Mutated Beings had been hunted.
When the four security companies returned earlier, Zhang Ji was troubled, but the researchers were thrilled.
For them, many of the Mutated insects brought back by the security companies were rare species.

Therefore, they were even more expectant about the military team and Mad Dragon Security Company that hadn’t returned yet.
Their expectations weren’t disappointed.
When they saw members of Mad Dragon Security Company returning, each carrying a Mutated Being, the researchers rushed up as if they were on adrenaline.
“My God, that’s a Mutated Spinning Sparrow, Mutated Silverbill, Mutated Great Tit, Mutated Mallard, and such a huge Mutated Greylag Goose—how did they capture so many of these elusive Mutated Bird Species?” exclaimed one excited researcher, gesturing wildly.
“Wow, there are so many Mutated insects too, what’s this, a Mutated Dragon Louse? Awesome! We don’t have such a specimen in the institute,” shouted another researcher jubilantly.
At that moment, Professor Liu Zhi, who was in charge of leading the team, didn’t bother with other Mutated Beings and went straight to Chen Dalong with his assistant. He looked at the Mutated Spider in Chen’s hand as if it were a rare treasure.
“What species of Spider is this? Why has it mutated so large? Quick, the Spirit Energy Detector!” he urged his assistant while examining the creature.
The assistant promptly took out a precise instrument from his backpack and placed it on the Mutated Spider.
Soon, when the value appeared on the device, the assistant excitedly said, “Professor Liu, this is really a Second Order Creature, the first Second Order Mutated Spider we’ve encountered.”
Professor Liu Zhi was thrilled and said, “Then quickly contact the logistics department there, have them ready a vehicle, and send it back to the institute immediately to be preserved using special equipment.”
“As long as we thoroughly research it, we can greatly advance our research achievements.”
“Ahem!” Chen Dalong cleared his throat, interrupting him, “Excuse me, I don’t mind you taking it away, but you should settle the Military Merit Points, right?”
Only then did Liu Zhi look at Chen Dalong and say somewhat apologetically, “Sorry, I neglected that. On behalf of Yangcheng Research Institute, I thank you for your significant contribution to our research.”
“Besides, don’t worry about the Military Merit Points—it just so happens that it’s tallied by our research institute and the Mutant Management Bureau together. I’ll have someone calculate it for you right away.”
Chen Dalong naturally had no objections to this, and was about to speak when he saw Zhang Ji, the team leader, approaching.
Zhang Ji, upon his arrival, didn’t look at the trophies brought back by Mad Dragon Security Company but scanned each security member, showing an expression of surprise and amazement on his face.
“You didn’t have anyone seriously injured this time out?” Zhang Ji asked while observing.
“Seriously injured? One person was stung by a Mutated Venomous Scorpion, does he count?” inquired Chen Dalong.
“He counts! So that means only one person?” Zhang Ji said, somewhat emotional.
“Uh… yes, what about it?” Chen Dalong asked.
Zhang Ji didn’t answer but continued to ask, “Then how much area did you clear?”
Chen Dalong could hear the anticipation in his tone.
So he didn’t play coy and took out his smartphone to open the map where he drew a circle.
“This area has already been cleared, so there are basically no dangerous mutated beings left,” Chen Dalong promptly said.
“Such a vast area!!!” Even though Zhang Ji had mentally prepared himself when he saw the mutated creatures that the other party had brought back, he still couldn’t help but exclaim at this moment.
“Uh, it’s all right!” Chen Dalong said modestly.
“It’s not just all right, it’s very good, The other four security companies combined haven’t cleared as much ground as you have,” Zhang Ji praised without stinginess.
If earlier he had any doubts about whether Chen Dalong was a superhuman, by now, he had none whatsoever.
The Mad Dragon Security Company was just a startup, and although it had recruited some veterans who may not be inferior to the Heiyao Security Company, it simply couldn’t compare to the top three ranked security companies.
Yet now, with such a record of accomplishment and although it was unclear how they managed it, there was no doubt that all credit was due to Chen Dalong.
Upon hearing Zhang Ji’s words, Chen Dalong was somewhat astonished.
“Really? Are they that bad?” He nearly blurted out, but quickly coughed lightly and corrected himself, “Cough! What I mean is, they aren’t taking it seriously enough.”
“It’s not a matter of not taking it seriously, they just lack the capability,”
“Apart from you, the other security companies have all suffered heavy casualties, Every outing ends with a dozen people being brought back lying down, and the ones with minor injuries make up the majority,”
“Really, if you don’t have the diamond drill, don’t take on jobs fit for porcelain work.” Toward the end, Zhang Ji also couldn’t help but complain.
Actually, this whole situation was set off by Chen Dalong’s leading example. If it wasn’t for him taking the lead to leave first, the other security companies might not have made such impulsive and reckless choices.
But these were thoughts Zhang Ji could only keep to himself.
There was no helping it; Chen Dalong and his company were just too competent, one company was worth more than the combined might of the other four.
Whether they could successfully complete the clearing operation today really depended on how efficient the other party could be.
By this time, more and more people were coming out of the vehicles at the temporary camp, and soon the staff from the Mutant Management Bureau and other security companies also arrived with expressions of astonishment and disbelief.
Especially members from the top three security companies, they doubted if what they were seeing was real.
Or perhaps, the place they went to wasn’t the same location?
You see, based on the paper figures, the strength of the Mad Dragon Security Company was only half that of theirs.
But now, the number of mutated creatures brought back by the other party was at least three, no, at least five times theirs.
All of this gave them a ridiculously absurd feeling.
However, the course of events wouldn’t swerve for anyone’s will, they watched stupefied as the team from the Mutant Management Bureau and Yangcheng Research Institute worked together in tallying.
They started with tallying the mutated insects, and after each bag of mutated insects was counted, a staff member would immediately announce the corresponding Military Merit Points on the spot.
After these mutated insects had been tallied, the accumulated Military Merit Points of the Mad Dragon Security Company had reached 68 points.
Such a figure made the bosses of Star Shield, Cheetah, and Yan Huang – the other three security companies – green with envy.
Because the combined points of honor of their three companies didn’t even match up to the mutated insects brought back by the opponent.
And keep in mind, those mutated beings were the main source of Military Merit Points!

Sorry for being late today, I will adjust it tomorrow.
