Hearing Xiao Hua’s request, Zhang Ji nodded, “Don’t worry! Our department will take this matter even more seriously than you, after all, if there really is a danger, we are the ones at the forefront.”
“In addition, I would like to ask, how many people are aware of this matter?”
“Two Elite City Guard Teams, one investigation team, plus the members of the expert group, a total of 45 people. I’ve already had them all sign a confidentiality agreement,” Xiao Hua answered.
“Okay, then I’ll take all the information with me. Our department will come up with a plan today,” said Zhang Ji as he was organizing the files on the desk.
Li Yongming immediately came forward to help.
After the files were organized, Zhang Ji patted his shoulder and said, “Stay here and keep following up on this matter. If there is any new development, notify me immediately.”
Because there was still one last doubt about this matter, if their conjecture was true, the Mutated King Cobra, being so intelligent,
Must have had some purpose for going to the old city district, driving away rats, and triggering a rat tide.
Therefore, the investigation had to continue.
“Yes, Commander!” Li Yongming saluted immediately.
Xiao Hua watched Zhang Ji leave, but instead of feeling relieved, his heart grew heavier.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff before slowly saying, “Although from a rational perspective, I also agree with the actions of the City Guard Department.”
“Ever since the Mutant Management Bureau was established, I come into contact with mutated animals every day and have personally killed many, but none of them have ever given me this kind of fear from the bottom of my heart.”
“I always have this feeling that if we don’t take action today, we will never have the chance again.”
Li Yongming opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Xiao Hua pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said, “Alright, we’ve been busy all night, and now it’s almost noon. Let’s go have a meal together and then get some early rest! We’re going to be busy in what’s to come.”
…
Ye Feng, of course, didn’t know that the Mutant Management Bureau was investigating so thoroughly.
If he had known, he could only sigh that their speculation was just a step away from the truth.
However, regarding the potential exposure of his subordinates, he had actually anticipated this.
He didn’t care at all about the Mutant Management Bureau’s conjectures and vigilance; in fact, the more wary the Bureau was of the King Cobra, the more advantageous it was to him to some extent.
Because it could tie up most of the Bureau’s energy, which meant there would be less focus on him.
Of course, all this was under the premise that he couldn’t let anyone discover the connection between these mutated animals and himself.
At the moment, he was guarding the Big Yellow Dog, allowing it to safely break through, while also directing his other subordinates to go out and look for the animals he wanted.
Ever since the idea of breaking into Yang City Zoo and capturing a large number of powerful animals came to him, he had become increasingly impatient and began to prepare.
He had just looked over the map of Yang City Zoo and the surrounding area and realized that to execute this plan, relying solely on his group of animals was probably not going to be sufficient.
Increasing the number of his subordinates was imperative.
Yang City Zoo is located in the suburbs, and less than 3 kilometers to the west of the zoo is the Donglin Mountain Range.
As long as he could get the animals into the mountains, it would be a half-success.
Of course, doing so would not be easy, and as soon as he made a move, even if it was just capturing one animal, it would alert the authorities.
Therefore, he had only one chance to make his move.
In such a situation, it was either do nothing or go all out and make a big score.
He had the King Cobra capture four more buffaloes, which would give him five Mutated Buffaloes in total.
Once they were all nurtured to the Third Order, they would be almost ready to act.
By then, the five Third Order Mutated Buffaloes could directly demolish the western wall.
Then, he would deploy other Mutated Animals to destroy the cages and guardrails, leading a large number of animals to escape.
As for the other animals, he wasn’t going to capture them for the time being.
After all, contract slots were limited, and if the plan went smoothly and he rescued a large number of animals, Ye Feng felt that his contract slots definitely wouldn’t suffice.
The animals he sent out this time were very efficient, capturing four strong buffaloes in just two hours.
After contracting with them one by one, Ye Feng condensed four Evolution Fruits and fed them to the buffaloes.
At this point, the number of Mutated Beings Ye Feng had captured had just reached fifteen, occupying half of his contract slots.
The Spiritual Energy required hourly by these fifteen Mutated Beings was already somewhat terrifying, reaching a total of 158 points.
If the Big Yellow Dog succeeded in its breakthrough, that number would likely reach 168 points.
“This consumption rate is a bit high! If I capture thirty Mutated Animals, won’t the harvested Spiritual Energy not even be enough for their use?” thought Ye Feng, feeling somewhat vexed.
After his breakthrough to the Third Order, he could harvest 215 points of Spiritual Energy per hour, which he originally thought was more than he could ever use, but reality proved him wrong so quickly!
Fortunately, after spending most of the day increasing it, he had extended the roots to a length of 500 meters, greatly expanding his territory.
Now, he was harvesting 250 points of Spiritual Energy per hour, and this number was continuously increasing as he added more points.
“Once I break through to the Mid Stage Third Order, the Spiritual Energy I can harvest per hour should exceed 300 points. Then it will be enough,” he thought.
Moreover, these Mutated Animals weren’t all reliant on him for sustenance; they would also go out and capture other Mutated Animals to bring back.
However, most of the captured Mutated Animals were First Order, and Ye Feng would receive varying amounts of Spiritual Energy from them, ranging from a few points to several dozen, based on their size.
As the power of the animals under his command continuously increased, so did their absorption of Spiritual Energy, which was definitely an unsustainable situation.
But at least it could greatly alleviate his pressure.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and stopped considering the problem because, at that moment, the aura about the Big Yellow Dog began to converge, clearly indicating an impending breakthrough.
At this time, almost all the Mutated Animals around were looking at the Big Yellow Dog because they felt a deadly threat emanating from it.
“Eh! Why do I also feel a hint of threat?” Ye Feng was surprised as he looked at the Big Yellow Dog.
Logically, this should be impossible. Even the King Cobra, which had now reached the Middle of the Second Order, hadn’t given him such a sensation.

Even though the Big Yellow Dog had reached the Second Order, its size was only about that of a typical cheetah, which made it seem “pint-sized” compared to Second Order Animals.
But far from being disappointed, Ye Feng was even more interested now.
“Come, let me see what kinds of enhancements you have,” Ye Feng murmured as he touched the dog’s head with his roots.
After reaching the Second Order, the Big Yellow Dog seemed to have gained higher intelligence and appeared to understand Ye Feng’s words, immediately starting to perform.
Whoosh!
Its slender figure shot out like an arrow released from the bowstring.
