Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Tense Mutant Managent Bureau_1
If the first half of the video was still debatable, the latter half almost certainly nailed the final proof.
The latter half of the video was obviously recorded by a different cara, and the scope of the video happened to cover a sewer junction.
The leading Mutated Sparrow at the junction hesitated for a while, as if it was finding its way.
At this ti, neither the King Cobra nor the Mutated Mouse moved, waiting quietly by the side.
Only after the Mutated Sparrow in front had determined the route did they follow.
The video was short, just over a minute, but as it ended, the conference room fell into a dead silence.
Even for Xiao Hua and Li Yongming, who were not watching this video for the first ti, watching it again still sent chills down their spines.
Because the implications behind this segnt of the video were truly sowhat frightening.
After a long silence, Zhang Ji spoke with a sowhat hoarse voice, “Your speculations should be correct, among these Mutated Animals, there indeed appears to be a king that commands the others.”
“After all, cooperation must have a basis, what qualifies two ‘pieces of food’ to cooperate with a King Cobra?”
“I’ll take all these docunts with , this matter needs to be reported imdiately.”
“If these Mutated Beings really start to unite, then mankind’s situation will be in danger.”
Zhang Ji finished speaking and was about to stand up, ready to take the docunts and leave.
But Xiao Hua spoke again, “Captain Zhang, keep calm, this matter doesn’t seem so simple.”
A look of astonishnt appeared on Zhang Ji’s face. What did it an it wasn’t so simple?
This was already a shocking discovery; could there be sothing more severe?
At this mont, he realized how dry his mouth had beco.
He sat back down, fixing his gaze on the two, waiting for them to speak.
“Here’s the thing, after our all-night investigation, we’ve put together the route map of the Mutated King Cobra after it entered the city,” Xiao Hua said.
Xiao Hua pulled a paper map out of the docunts and handed it to Zhang Ji, “The Mutated King Cobra didn’t seem to co in for a casual stroll; it might have had a purpose.”
“In other words, the intelligence of these Mutated Animals might be much higher than we estimated.”
Zhang Ji wanted to blurt out: Impossible!
But rembering the previous video, the words died on his lips.
He took the paper map, which was a sewer system layout marked with a red line.
Clearly, this was the path taken by the Mutated King Cobra.
One location was circled in red, highlighted specifically.
“What does this an?” Zhang Ji poked the red circle and asked.
“Our personnel used specialized equipnt to track it and found that the Mutated King Cobra had stayed there for so ti before returning.”
“Of course, that wouldn’t normally be an issue, but next door there’s a pet store that had a newly mutated parrot.”
“That’s a Mutated Parrot assessed as a dangerous level one threat. According to the original plan, our colleagues would have gone this morning to take the Mutated Parrot away.”
“But upon arriving, they found it gone.”
“And the cage holding the parrot seed to have been bitten open by so creature; likewise, the anti-theft netting on the window had been chewed through.”
“This imdiately caught our colleague’s attention, and after an investigation, they found that even the protective net on the bathroom drain had been chewed open.”
Having said this, Xiao Hua pulled out a photo and pointed to the Mutated Mouse next to the King Cobra.
“If we connect all the information we have, we can co to a conclusion: the Mutated King Cobra possesses so special ability to sense the birth of Mutated Beings,” he said.
“Then on the sa night, it staged a rescue operation, having the Mutated Sparrow lead the way and the Mutated Mouse execute the rescue.”
Finally, Xiao Hua pointed at the Mutated King Cobra and said deliberately, “It’s gathering its followers!”
“This is impossible!” Zhang Ji exclaid.
Both people in the room remained silent, and the atmosphere once again settled into a dead silence.
Ultimately, it was Zhang Ji who broke the quiet, asking with a hint of hope, “Is it possible to track that Mutated King Cobra?”
If they could track it, they could solve the problem once and for all.
“No,” Xiao Hua shook his head, “We can only trace where it left the city, but with the plants having mutated and started growing wildly, there’s no trace left.”
“The wild grass has a strong life energy; even if you flatten it, it will recover within half an hour.”
“So, tracking it in the wild is basically futile if more than half an hour passes, it’s like losing the target.”
Although Zhang Ji had anticipated such a result, he was unavoidably disappointed.
He took a deep breath and asked in a serious tone, “Then, what do you plan to do?”
Despite still finding it hard to believe this was real, the incident had occurred, and the most important thing now was to find a solution.
Xiao Hua, knowing he had convinced the other party, said directly, “We specifically called you here in the hopes of using the City Guard Team’s resources to conduct a comprehensive search of the dense forests in the northwest region.”
“We must eliminate the Mutated King Cobra and its influence before it grows stronger.”
Zhang Ji’s eyebrows furrowed, and he eventually said, “Agreed, but this kind of extensive search requires a lot of manpower and resources.”
“Right now, clearing the city of dangers cos first, so the ‘Four Pests’ campaign is the top priority.”
“I’ll suggest, after finishing the ‘Four Pests’ campaign, that we launch an operation to clear the surrounding urban areas of dangerous creatures.”
“I will provide you with enough personnel then to find that Mutated King Cobra.”
Hearing this response, Xiao Hua breathed an inward sigh of relief, though he understood the City Guard Departnt’s difficulties.
The rat wave the day before had not resulted in any deaths, but the number of injuries reached 45 people, with three of them seriously wounded.
While the city’s order was still relatively stable, public opinion on the internet had already been boiling. The current “Four Pests” campaign was an absolute high-priority event.
As for the Mutated King Cobra, it was a future threat and not sothing that needed to be addressed imdiately.
“Fine, but I hope you can resolve this within a week; delay leads to change, you should understand that,” Xiao Hua finally said.
