?Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Undisputed Number One_1 Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Undisputed Number One_1 Hunter Security Company’s temporary camp, a young man turned to the middle-aged man beside him and said, “Old Chen, lend me some gauze please!”


    “What for?” Old Chen asked impatiently.


    “We’re heading into the forest in ten minutes! Wrapping some gauze around my calves could be useful. I don’t want to be carried out lying down later,” the youth said.


    “Right, you’re pretty clever, kid.” Old Chen gave a thumbs up, took out some gauze, and said, “Here, I’ll give you half. The boss too, why didn’t he just refuse this task?”


    “Refusing is impossible; otherwise, we’d be blacklisted and then unable to buy firearms. The company wouldn’t be able to grow,” the youth sighed.


    “What do I care whether the company grows! I’m just here to scrape by. Do you think this is something people should do? Even soldiers get injured in droves, and yet they send us security guards, who are frankly nothing more than…” Old Chen’s voice trailed off as he began cursing, his eyes gradually widening in shock.


    The young man looked up in curiosity when he saw the other stop speaking and followed his gaze, becoming instantly dumbstruck.


    “Good heavens, after getting back, I’m resigning immediately,” Old Chen said excitedly after coming to his senses.


    “Why?” The youth felt completely baffled; the scene before him was truly mind-boggling.


    “I’m job hopping, of course! I saw yesterday that Mad Dragon Security Company is recruiting at the job market, I’ll sign up right away after I get back,” said Old Chen, rubbing his hands together eagerly.


    “Count me in,” said the youth, regaining his composure instantly.


    Chen Dalong had expected that his return would cause a sensation, but he had not anticipated such a huge commotion.


    He had just returned to the temporary camp when he was swarmed by people.


    There was no helping it. Typical security companies might not even kill one mutated being in a trip, usually just making up numbers with mutated insects.


    But Mad Dragon Security Company had brought back more than 100 in one go, and upon examination, only two people had minor injuries!!!


    The onlookers were stunned, unable to comprehend the existence of such an extraordinary security company.


    In fact, it wasn’t just them; all members of the Seventh Squad were petrified at that moment.


    They could still remember the terror dominated by the Mutated Monkeys just over half an hour ago.


    They might have succeeded if they really fought back, but by the end, the Seventh Squad could have been completely wiped out.


    However, this security company had annihilated the Mutated Monkeys in just 15 minutes, without any casualties to boot.


    The two who had been scratched couldn’t truly be called injured.


    “Dammit, could it be that the toxins from my wound haven’t been fully cleared and I’m hallucinating? Is this even reasonable? Is this normal?” Feng Jun, the commander of the Seventh Squad, cursing loudly, slapped his thigh.


    “Commander, although it’s exaggerated, it seems reasonable,” Wang Junchang, the deputy commander, said seriously, “If they couldn’t handle it, why would Captain Zhang send them here?”


    “Alright! Let’s go and see if he has three heads and six arms,” said Feng Jun as he stood up.


    Wang Junchang could only shake his head helplessly, hurrying to follow.


    But at this moment, the craziest ones were Professor Liu Zhi and his research team. sea??h thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yes, they had come along too, and as Professor Liu Zhi put it, “If we don’t come along, should we stay there and count insects for other security companies?”


    “Boss Chen, I just knew you wouldn’t let me down. My God! Over a hundred Mutated Monkeys, in the coming month, our research group will not lack material.” Professor Liu Zhi said excitedly.


    Hearing this, Chen Dalong suddenly became somewhat interested and casually asked, “Professor Liu Zhi, what is the project you’re working on?”


    “Biological alloy! This is a versatile new material that, if truly successfully researched, could take our human industrial revolution a huge step forward.”


    “Of course, our research group is only responsible for one branch of it, and once we achieve results, your firearms can be upgraded.” Professor Liu Zhi said quite proudly.


    The branch he was working on held a leading position nationwide, and with so many Mutated Beings harvested from this operation, he now had at least an eighty percent confidence that he could publish results before other institutions.


    However, Chen Dalong was not very interested in all this. He just chuckled and gave a few perfunctory responses, then went off to talk to other people.


    There was no helping it; he still had to give face to the bosses of the major companies, since they would inevitably cross paths in the future.


    Additionally, there was Commander Feng Jun of the Seventh Brigade, whose enthusiastic attitude made Chen Dalong feel somewhat uncomfortable. After chatting for a bit, the two were soon patting each other on the back and even made plans to have drinks together after the mission was over.


    Of course, such excitement couldn’t last too long.


    Because in the area ahead, there was still about a quarter that had not been cleared, and there were less than two hours left until sunset, making the task extremely heavy.


    In the time that followed, Mad Dragon Security Company demonstrated what real strength was.


    They were basically able to make a run every half an hour, clearing a large area each time, and the amount of Mutated Beings they brought back was astonishing.


    Even because Chen Dalong’s side was so efficient, Zhang Ji only symbolically sent over one brigade for support, while the rest of the teams were dispatched to the rear areas.


    Finally, just before the sun set, the clearing operation was completed in a rush.


    When the last batch of Mutated Beings was tallied and Military Merit Points were calculated, Chen Dalong immediately worked out the total Military Merit Points they had earned that day.


    3385 points.


    After deducting the 1500 points spent on his promotion to Honorary Captain, there were still 1885 points left.


    These nearly 2000 Military Merit Points were enough to completely re-equip Mad Dragon Security Company.


    If it were not for the time and place being inopportune, the people of Mad Dragon Security Company would have broken out in song and dance.


    Soon the team regrouped and then set off triumphantly toward Yang City.


    At this moment, the moods of the bosses of the major security companies were almost the complete opposite of when they had left.


    When they had set out in the morning, many were full of confidence, even ambitious.


    But now, they were anxiously calculating whether they could break even on this mission.


    There was no help for it; the casualties were too high, and these casualties were not ones who could be treated quickly—they couldn’t work while laid up in the hospital.


    And when the number of casualties reached a certain level, the companies didn’t dare to take on missions, resulting in a stalemate situation, and these invisible losses were the greatest.


    At this time, Zhang Ji gave everyone a metaphorical stab in the heart, as he directly announced the Military Merit Points that each security company had earned that day.


    Mad Dragon Security Company took first place with a terrifying score of 3385 points.


    And Star Shield Security Company, ranked second, had only 353 Military Merit Points, merely a fraction of what Mad Dragon Security Company had secured.
