Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Surprise Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Surprise In the following days,

Greg Jensen had nothing much to do. Bored, he shuttled between the rooms of Karen Milton and Zoey Milton day and night, his cultivation improving constantly, on the verge of another breakthrough.

Squeak, squeak!!

That night, the silence was broken by the sound of scurrying mice.

Greg Jensen opened his eyes and saw several moles the size of human heads slip in, behaving in a human-like manner by gesturing with their paws politely and sitting down about ten meters away, showing great respect.

“You little guys have finally come back! Tell me, what news have you found?”

“Squeak, squeak…”

The leading mole let out a series of excited squeaks, gesticulating wildly with its limbs, while the others occasionally nodded in agreement.

This scene appeared quite comical, yet after hearing their report, Greg couldn’t muster a laugh. Instead, his brows furrowed, and he became serious.

“Are you saying that teams from Cherrywood are secretly researching human modifications in nearby countries?”

“Squeak, squeak!!”

…

It turned out that, after infiltrating Cherrywood’s territory, the moles quickly found several extremely secretive factories.

Inside these factories were tanks of dark-green nurturing fluid, containing humans and Ferocious Beasts.

They had thought these living beings were being used for some research, but gradually, they realized something was off.

In less than a week, as the nutrient pods were opened, Cherrywood’s scientific troops brought in piles of mechanical materials, assembling them onto these people, replacing flesh with machinery.

Even their brains had computer technology implanted, including their hearts, which used carbon-metal pacemakers; from top to bottom, except for a part of the brain, everything else was replaced.

These modified humans retained their original consciousness and had enhanced physiques; with a single step, they could levitate ten feet, and with a single punch, they could dent even steel.

Moreover, their bodies could turn invisible, and if one didn’t look carefully, it would be impossible to detect their presence with the naked eye.

In short, the strength of the modified humans was terrifying. Although all their methods of attack were mechanized, the power they could unleash was comparable to that of a Level Ten warrior.

And not to mention, there were also semi-modified humans who retained their original strength while gaining the means of mechanization.

According to the moles, they witnessed more than ten thousand modified humans in five gigantic factories, the scale of which was hair-raising.

Greg could roughly imagine that if these modified humans were to launch a full-scale assault, they would inevitably have an indelible impact on the Eight countries in Southeast, and the barely recovered buildings could be destroyed overnight.

“No wonder these little devils have been lurking around for so long; it turns out they’ve been up to this mischief!”

Now it was unknown when Cherrywood planned to attack the Eight countries in Southeast. Logically speaking, more than ten thousand modified humans should be more than enough to overrun them.

There were two options before them: to choose a time to launch a sneak attack or to continue lying low for a month, increasing the production of modified humans, and wait until they had even more numbers before attacking.

What Greg could do now was to hasten the fortifications on the frontier and even import some infrared surveillance equipment from abroad.

Otherwise, if these people were to choose to attack at night, it would be nearly impossible to detect their presence with the naked eye.

Having understood this, he immediately contacted Fox and others, conveying to them the severity of the issue.

The Fox and Black Wolf and others did not dare to delay and immediately set out to make arrangements.

In Australia, the infrared reconnaissance equipment was also urgently transported over.

Especially some wearable guards that could greatly strengthen the reconnaissance capabilities.

“Dragon King, all equipment will be in place within three days, and I have already notified the border, they will monitor continuously for twenty-four hours!”

“These bastards have been lurking around our border for so long, they definitely have no good intentions! Hmph, if they dare to appear again, the Eight countries in Southeast will take the risk of mutual destruction, but we will make sure they regret it!”

“Lord, do you know when they will come? I feel like these beasts from Cherrywood can’t wait that much longer!”

Everyone was furious, unanimously believing that Cherrywood’s nature would not allow them to wait too long. Now, after two months, with more than ten thousand troops from the Iron-blood Corps, they would definitely pick a time in the next few days to launch a surprise attack.

If the reconnaissance equipment was not installed at the border in time, they might suffer a great loss during the first encounter.

Greg Jensen said nothing but stared at the pastries on the table, lost in thought. He also considered the problem that if Cherrywood launched a lightning surprise attack before the reconnaissance equipment was transported over, it would be very difficult for the Eight countries in Southeast to turn the situation around.

Even after three days, when all the reconnaissance equipment was installed, with the various functions of those transformed beings, it was hardly guaranteed to keep them all out.

“Hmm? Pastries? Flour… flour?”

Suddenly, as he stared at the white pastries in front of him, a brilliant idea occurred to him. He immediately raised his head and said to the Fox:

“How much flour do we still have in the storage? Lime will do as well!”

“This… Dragon King, what is this about?”

Upon hearing this, the Fox and the others were confused, not understanding his intention.

With the situation so tense, why was the Dragon King asking for flour and lime powder?

Greg Jensen couldn’t help but roll his eyes at them and explained bluntly:

“Although the Iron-blood Corps can achieve invisibility and even some can fly, the vast majority will definitely come by land!

Merely waiting for the equipment to arrive is obviously too late; we cannot place our hopes on these devices alone.

But if we gather a large amount of flour, lime, and such, and scatter them beyond a hundred meters of the border, their footsteps will show up on the flour once they appear!

In this way, even without infrared reconnaissance equipment, the warriors at the border will be able to detect their approach immediately!”

Hiss!!

All exchanged looks and, from the bottom of their hearts, gave a thumbs up, impressed:

“Worthy of being the Dragon King! This method is indeed feasible!”

“Understood, I will have my subordinates collect it, and try to complete the layout within an hour!”

“Then we will stay at the border region for these few days. As soon as they show up, we will be ready to counterattack!”

The Fox nodded excitedly, ready to leave the Dragon King’s Palace to arrange the flour.

However, in the next second, Greg Jensen called him back, “Keep the distance at around five hundred meters, their movement speed is very fast, and this distance should be about right to detect them immediately. Besides, just using these is far from enough. Since they want to play big, we obviously have to give them a little surprise, right?”

“Surprise?” The Fox raised his eyebrow intrigued, staring at him, “What do you mean, Dragon King?”
