Transmigrated as the Domesticated Rabbit of the Sick and Frail Villain in the Apocalypse - CH 45.4

He looked at Jin Yang and continued,

“After conducting anatomical research, we found that the evolution of the mutated monkey was unusually fast. The origin of human beings is the family of apes, and during the dissection process, we discovered that the evolution of the limbs and some skeletal muscles of this mutated monkey is moving closer to that of a human. If we continue to allow it to evolve over time, a new species, a new type of ‘human’, may emerge.”

“Human beings are ultimately the kings of evolution, but so are these level five mutant animals which have recently appeared. We are born as contradictory beings. We believe that this is the primary reason that the level five mutated animals prompted ordinary animals to attack the human base.”

After the man in the white coat finished speaking, everyone present fell silent for a long time, some seemed to be lost in thoughts, some stunned by these words.

They had long considered the cause of the apocalypse and why animals and plants had all mutated while it was incredibly difficult for humans to evolve.

But when they heard this speculation, they were wondering if human beings stood a chance of winning in this role reversal.

Would they be the ultimate winners?

No one knew the answers to these questions, and no one dared to pat their own chest and proclaim that the future was bright and promising.

But they didn’t want to die. No one wanted to die. Let alone the survival of mankind, even if it was just selfish thoughts, no one wanted to die.

They were all struggling to survive in the apocalypse.

Seeing the dead silence in the conference room, Li Zhenjiang slammed the table hard.

“Why is everyone looking like you’re all on the verge of death? The city hasn’t been destroyed, nor has the human race become extinct. They’re just a bunch of animals. I’ve never even been scared of cannons, so what’s there to be afraid of?!”

His words shook the hearts of those present, and they all turned to face the main seat.

“Since we know that beast tides are caused by level five mutated animals, we will kill all level five ones. If one man is not enough, we’ll send out an entire city. No matter how intelligent these beasts have become, they can’t possibly create missiles with their bare hands.”

Hearing Li Zhenjiang’s witty words, the room burst into laughter, and their despair and confusion quietly disappeared.

Jin Yang sat quietly watching and listening, while analyzing calmly in his mind. It was undoubtedly fortunate to have a leader like Li Zhenjiang. He had excellent leadership skills and a fearless heart.

He must have been afraid as well, and it was impossible not to feel a tinge of despair, but he was able to tell everyone with decisive righteousness that as long as he was present, the city would not fall.

“Now that everyone is aware of the situation, I’ll be straightforward.”

Li Zhenjiang lit a cigarette, gripped it between his fingers, and took a drag. He puffed out a cloud of smoke and continued, ‘Can you all see the red dots circled in the documents in your hands? Those are bases that are in danger of getting destroyed by small beast tides and giant mutated plants.”

Jin Yang looked at the document in his hand. Aside from Flying Dragon Base, there were four other circles, a total of five cities that were in danger.

“The two bases on the edge are too far away from City Z, so they have nothing to do with us. By the time we arrive to support, their corpses will stink already.”

Another burst of laughter erupted in the room.

“However, for the other three, they require quite a large number of volunteers from our base. Besides our people, Niu Feihuang’s people will also be there, so it is inevitable that we will meet them. Of course, there will also be evolved people from other bases.”

One of the team captains frowned and said, “General Li, the people from the Niu family have always been at odds with us. If we get together, won’t they cause us problems?”

Li Zhenjiang waved his hand. “This is the order from above. Niu Feihuang knows what to do. He will definitely restrain them. Our purpose this time is not to fight them, but to save the lives of the people in these bases.”

At this point, everyone here understood that the reason Li Zhenjiang summoned them was to send them out to offer support.

The team captains deliberated. It was not that they were cowards, but leaving the base during an apocalypse meant danger, so they really had to think carefully.

However, this time it was a direct order from the central government. Not to mention that if they backed off this time, the next base to be attacked by a beast tide could be theirs.

After much contemplation, everyone still agreed.

Li Zhenjiang nodded with satisfaction, and when the meeting finally ended, he boosted everyone’s morale and let the other captains go back first, leaving only Jin Yang and Wu Xianling.

Only after everyone had left did Li Zhenjiang finally reveal his inner exhaustion onto his face.  He couldn’t help but pinch the space between his brows with his fingertips.

How could he not be worried? But he couldn’t let it show. Instead, he had to force himself to show a high degree of excitement and self-confidence in order to infect the people under him.

If he showed his fear on his face, it would definitely cause panic among his subordinates.

He looked at the two people behind him and motioned for them to take a seat.

“What do you think about the incident today?”

Jin Yang didn’t have any other thoughts. Since he had decided to join the base and enjoy their protection, it was natural for him to contribute, and he had nothing to say about it. While Wu Xianling was Li Zhenjiang’s devoted subordinate, so naturally he would fight in whichever direction he was pointed.

Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Li Zhenjiang was a little relieved, and after saying a few more words to them, he waved his hand to signal for them to leave.

“This old man won’t keep you any longer. Go back and make preparations.”

Soon, another tough battle would be fought.

The author has something to say: I’m throwing out some settings, and then a long arc will soon begin.

T/N: The brains of my PR and I were fried from that whole evolution history and theory that sounded like an alien language to me. Let me know if I made any mistakes with the terms.

Logic might be questionable/flawed but I would just like to point out that this is the author’s first novel…

Translated a random comment I read:

FL is so cute, please let her stay in the little girl stage longer! Also, why do I feel like Niu Ying is not his real daughter? Getting a child at an old age? Fishy!

Heheh
