Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 152 - 136 Two Conditions_2

This wasn’t just visual oppression, it was a suppression at the level of life itself.

Starry Sky: "When we were filming the mutated bird flock directly just now, there weren’t any references, so I didn’t realize how huge they were. But now, I see that I was wrong, and terribly so. Damn, if I were there, I probably couldn’t even stand steady."

Jingting Mountain: "In the video of the previous attack on Yang City Zoo, it seemed like this mutated eagle was present, but back then, its wingspan was at most 15 meters, right? How did it grow so much in just a few days?"

"If these mutated beings keep growing like this, won’t they all turn into Godzillas? Then how are we supposed to survive?"

Comments on the internet exploded all at once. In fact, many people previously thought that there was no need for humans to cooperate with mutated creatures.

In their view, no matter how strong these mutated beings were, could they really withstand bullets?

But at the sight of the mutated eagle, they realized how absurd their previous understanding had been.

The mutated eagle before them, let’s not even talk about bullets, it looked like it could probably fend off small missiles.

And such mutated beings would not be like the few Godzillas in the movies; with the resurgence of spiritual energy, they would likely appear in the thousands.

Just thinking about that scenario was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

At this moment, let alone anyone else, even Zhang Ji, the military representative, was feeling bewildered, unsure of what to do next.

How to communicate with such an imposing presence?

It was then that Chen Dalong stepped forward, made a megaphone with his hands around his mouth, and shouted loudly, "Hello, we are the negotiation representatives from Yang City."

Chen Dalong’s shout immediately pulled everyone back from their shock.

At that moment, Zhang Ji couldn’t help but see Chen Dalong in a new light.

The latter’s action had undoubtedly given him a wake-up call. He quickly shouted to a nearby guard, "Go get me a megaphone."

"Yes, sir!" The guard immediately responded.

But before he could move, a voice came from the back of the mutated eagle, "No need for that trouble."

The sudden human voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and that’s when they noticed that there were a giant panda and a mutated parrot on the back of the mutated eagle.

They quickly descended from the eagle’s back.

"Let me introduce myself. This is the Panda Messenger, our negotiator, and I am the Parrot Messenger, serving also as the translator," said the mutated parrot, flying down directly.

Looking at the 5-meter-tall, talking mutated parrot before them, the shock in everyone’s hearts was in no way less than when they saw the mutated eagle.

The live broadcasting room exploded with reactions at this moment too.

Fox King: "I lacked imagination; I was thinking about how to communicate, turns out there is a talking mutated parrot."

Zhuge Tiandeng: "Is it just about being able to talk? With such a clear and organized introduction, the wisdom of this mutated parrot is obviously no less than that of us humans!"

Little Paper Smoke: "Is no one noticing that mutated panda? Even though it’s huge, it still looks so cute."

Meanwhile, Zhang Ji had recovered from his initial shock as well.

He immediately adjusted his facial expression and said with a smile, "Hello, Panda Messenger and Parrot Messenger. My name is Zhang Ji, the chief negotiator for this talks. I’m very pleased to meet you, and I hope we can cooperate smoothly."

While speaking, he waved his hand towards Du Gulan and the others behind him, signaling that they could retreat.

The process could be broadcast live, but the content of the negotiations would obviously not be.

"Yes, I also hope for a smooth collaboration. The Dragon Lord specifically sent the Panda Messenger as our representative, which is indeed a sign of our sincerity," replied the mutated parrot.

At that moment, the giant panda that had descended from the eagle’s back sat on the ground, raised its right hand, and waved it back and forth toward the camera, as if greeting the audience in the live broadcast.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Zhang Ji’s face became much more sincere. Although they had exchanged just a few words, both sides had already shown a willingness to collaborate.

This was an excellent start; since both parties were willing, everything else that followed would be a matter of negotiation.

Zhang Ji quickly sized up the giant panda and then glanced at the Mutated Parrot, swiftly determining that the latter was the core of the issue at hand.

After all, according to the information they had received, the Mutated King Cobra had never had a giant panda under its command before.

Clearly, the giant panda present had escaped from the zoo just three days ago.

It was highly unlikely that within such a short period, the giant panda had become the core member of a force.

Moreover, the giant panda, while looking around and munching on bamboo, didn’t seem to possess much intelligence at all.

"Parrot Messenger, may I ask how far you wish to take this cooperation?" Zhang Ji asked after organizing his thoughts.

"Before we discuss cooperation, I have two conditions," the Mutated Parrot stated directly.

"Here we go!"

Zhang Ji thought to himself, while the rest of the negotiation representatives behind him all braced themselves.

Everyone knew that whether the negotiations could proceed depended on the conditions set forth by the other party.

"Please state them, we will consider them seriously," Zhang Ji said with a solemn expression.

"The first condition is that to avoid unnecessary trouble and friction, you humans must not enter our territory at will," the Mutated Parrot said.

Zhang Ji let out a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this; they had anticipated such a condition.

However, his expression remained unchanged as he asked, "May I inquire as to where your territory is located?"

Upon hearing this question, the Mutated Parrot remained silent. Just as Zhang Ji was beginning to feel puzzled, he suddenly noticed a thick fog forming around them.

He was startled for a moment, but soon realized that the fog was not widespread—covering only a rough five-meter diameter circle, and the fog only rose as high as their knees.

By then, not only Zhang Ji but everyone else was looking at each other in confusion, not quite understanding the meaning behind this action.

"Oh, this fog seems to form a map," Xiao Hua, who was standing at the back, said.

With this prompt, everyone quickly caught on; upon closer inspection, they recognized that the fog was slowly shaping into mountains, rivers, and roads.

However, since it was all in the form of fog, it wasn’t easy to make out.

Just as this thought crossed their minds, everyone shivered simultaneously, feeling the temperature dropping rapidly.

Then, to their astonishment, they watched the patch of fog in front of them gradually turn into an ice sculpture.

The "map" before them suddenly became much clearer.

This capability once again struck awe into the people present.

Zhang Ji and the others exchanged glances, each seeing a look of caution in the other’s eyes.

The abilities shown by the Mutated King Cobra earlier were not all there was; they also possessed the power to transform fog into ice, which would be terrifying on the battlefield.

For instance, if their soldiers were hiding within their defenses, the enemy could use this ability to turn them directly into ice sculptures.

What was more crucial was that neither the soldiers on perimeter patrol nor the radar team had detected the presence of the Mutated King Cobra.

This meant that the enemy could exert such abilities remotely, escalating the threat by two levels.

"You can take a look at the map; the area enclosed by this wall is our territory," the Mutated Parrot’s voice drew everyone’s attention once again.

The territory Ye Feng had marked out was centered around Sunset Valley, expanding quite a bit outwards, even including Small Phoenix Mountain within it.

Zhang Ji and the others looked closely at the ice map before them, their foreheads furrowing slightly.

Because the extent of the territory that had been marked out by the other party was rather large, nearly equivalent to half of the Yang City District.
