Chapter 92: Chapter 92 The Change of the Situation_1
After a brief silence, the Mutated Parrot said, “You might have misunderstood, not all mutated insects will break through.”
“Only those previously stuck at a bottleneck will be able to break through, and this proportion is about one-third.”
Hearing this, Chen Dalong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, the situation wasn’t as bad as he had imagined.
However, before he could relax, he continued to hear a voice through his Bluetooth earpiece, “Additionally, when I spoke of mutated beings, I didn’t just mean mutated insects, all the mutated animals that were previously at a bottleneck will also break through.”
“When that time comes, there will probably be a considerable number of Second Order Mutated Animals, the kind that could make it onto the dangerous species list.”
Hearing these words, Chen Dalong felt a suffocation grip him.
The gap between First Order and Second Order � he had learned today just how vast it really was.
Take the First Order Mutant Swan he had just killed for example, when it was First Order, any one of his security guards could take it down with an automatic rifle.
But once it reached Second Order, it wouldn’t just be one person; even if three or four people armed themselves and attacked together, they might be the ones getting killed instead.
“So, Lord Parrot, what should we do?” Chen Dalong asked with some difficulty.
“Do what you must do, these great movements of Heaven and Earth can’t be changed by you or me, even Dragon Lord cannot alter them.”
“Besides, when the sky falls, there are tall ones to prop it up. Such big matters will naturally be worried over by the higher-ups among your humans, you just need to take care of your own plot of land,” the Mutated Parrot said.
Hearing this, Chen Dalong actually calmed down.
Indeed, taking care of himself was enough, and with the protection of Dragon Lord, he did not need to worry too much about his own safety.
The team quickly got back on the road, but to consider the others, Chen Dalong slowed down a bit this time.
Additionally, when breaking a path ahead, if he saw bushes, he would take the initiative to approach them, draw out any hidden mutated insects, and then kill them.
With his deliberate protection, combined with everyone else becoming increasingly cautious, the number of casualties was significantly reduced.
Seeing this, Chen Dalong breathed another sigh of relief.
The rest of the journey went quite smoothly, the only difference being a slower pace.
Before, they could clear an area in about half an hour.
Now, it took closer to 45 minutes.
But seeing that only five people had sustained minor injuries, Chen Dalong felt it was completely worth it; if they had continued at the previous pace, the number of injured would have doubled at least.
By the time he returned to the temporary camp, it was already 4 o’clock.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately sensed something off about the atmosphere.
Fighting outside constantly had them on edge, so upon returning to the temporary camp, everyone would try to relax as much as possible, and there would certainly be conversations and laughter.
But at this moment, the atmosphere at the temporary camp was somber, and aside from the occasional pained grunt, even those who spoke kept their voices deliberately low.
This scene caused a slight frown on Chen Dalong’s face, his gaze sweeping around, quickly focusing on Qin Yaowen not far away, and he immediately led his team towards him.
As soon as Chen Dalong approached, Qin Yaowen saw him and came forward to meet him.
“Brother Chen, how are the injuries in your team?” Qin Yaowen asked while sizing up the people from Mad Dragon Security Company, his eyes betraying an undeniable surprise.
“Thankfully, only 5 people were lightly injured,” Chen Dalong replied before asking, “What’s going on here? The atmosphere is so serious, and nobody is talking.”
Hearing that only 5 people were lightly injured, Qin Yaowen’s mind was filled with a string of exclamation marks.
But upon hearing the rest of what Chen Dalong said, he couldn’t help but show a bitter smile, “What else could have happened? Too many people were injured!”
“Just now, our Heiyao Security Company lost 2 people, 5 were seriously injured, and as many as 31 were injured.”
“At first, I thought it was just our bad luck, that the mutated insects in that area were so crazy, but after getting back, I found out everyone was in the same boat. I don’t even know what happened.”
“Now everyone is just waiting for the higher-ups in the military to arrange the next steps.”
“Ah, now my Heiyao Security Company has fewer than 100 people still combat-capable; we’re basically half-disabled.”
After listening to the other party, Chen Dalong couldn’t help but pat him on the shoulder. He wanted to comfort him but did not know what to say at the moment.
Finally, he turned his head and said to Li Huosheng next to him, “Tell the other brothers to hand over all the mutated beings we harvested this time to the Heiyao Security Company.”
“There’s no need, Chen. I didn’t tell you those things because I was looking for sympathy or trying to get benefits,” Qin Yaowen immediately stated.
“I understand, but you deserve these.”
Chen Dalong said earnestly, “When you were helping me accumulate military merits, the mutated insects you handed over were worth about sixty or seventy points of military honors. I owe you that.”
“Plus, you helped transport the mutated poplars, which saved us a lot of time. Those efforts should also count towards your merits.”
“I estimate this batch of mutated beings could be exchanged for about 230 points of military honors; any excess is your interest.”
“Stick with me, and I won’t let you down.”

Qin Yaowen was moved. Honestly, the other party could have completely withheld these military honors or delayed them.
After all, as long as Chen Dalong held cooperation with Red Star Tech, Qin Yaowen wouldn’t dare to turn hostile.
Yet, now the other party hadn’t taken any advantage but instead had generously given him benefits.
Even though it might seem like buying favor, Qin Yaowen was grateful for the gesture.
“Alright! Then I won’t be polite with you. I really need this military honor. Just like before, if there’s anything you want our Heiyao Security Company to do, just say the word,” Qin Yaowen said sincerely.
Chen Dalong was just about to make a playful remark when he saw a messenger rushing toward him.
“Comrade Chen, Captain Zhang Ji is asking you to come to the command vehicle,” the messenger said to Chen Dalong after giving him a military salute.
Chen Dalong was somewhat surprised. That’s when he noticed the command vehicle had returned without him knowing.
This was Zhang Ji’s exclusive ride. Clearly, he had returned from the front-line area.
“Alright, I’ll go now,” Chen Dalong nodded immediately and quickly followed the messenger toward the command vehicle.
When he arrived, the door of the command vehicle was already open, and Chen Dalong went straight up.
At that moment, Zhang Ji was frowning at a report in his hands.
Upon seeing Chen Dalong enter, he finally put down the report and squeezed out a smile, “Boss Chen is impressive! I didn’t expect you to have really cleared that huge area before 4 o’clock.”
