Chapter 102 The Situation in the Rear of Defense Area No. 25 Is Much Better Than Expected!
Seeing that his eldest cousin didn't hear clearly, Pang Fei repeated himself.
"I said, our team has killed 18 level 30 poisonous disaster beasts."
"Impossible! With all the new recruits in your team, you're telling me you killed 18 level 30 poisonous disaster beasts? Just one level 30 ordinary disaster beast should've been enough to give you hell!"
"Elder cousin..."
"Call me Commander-in-Chief!"
"Commander-in-Chief, you've watched me grow up. You know me. Am I the type of person who talks nonsense?"
"Who are you again?"
"...!"
"Commander-in-Chief! Our team's leader, Xu Yan, has extremely powerful support capabilities. We aren't afraid of poisonous beasts!"
"With his assistance, we dare to give it a try. Let alone level 30 poisonous disaster beasts, even level 40 ones wouldn't be a problem."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Xiao Fei, I know you're eager to prove yourself, but before rushing into battle, you need to stay grounded and realistically assess your own strength."
Song Lingxuan spoke earnestly, but as she talked, she absentmindedly pulled up the kill records of Xu Yan's team from the recruit combat logs.
Her plan?
Expose Pang Fei's exaggerations and slap him with cold, hard facts.
She was going to show him that being too ambitious would only lead to disaster.
But when she saw the records, her mind went blank.
Pang Fei had lied.
But not in the way she thought.
The records didn't say Xu Yan's team killed 18 level 30 poisonous disaster beasts.
They had killed 32.
Fourteen of them belonged solely to Liang Qiu's team.
One team had single-handedly taken down fourteen level 30 beasts.
What the hell?!
What is going on with Liang Qiu's team!?
What's going on with Xu Yan's group!?
This isn't rookie-level combat power—this is elite veteran level!
Even though she still didn't believe the absurd claim that they were immune to poison and curses, there was no denying their results.
If Xu Yan's team was this capable, then moving them to Defense Area 25 could actually make a difference.
Song Lingxuan coughed awkwardly.
"Ahem… Pang Fei, since you insist on being reckless, fine. I'll approve the transfer to Area 25."
"The situation there is serious, and we do need manpower."
"Send me the list of people requesting the transfer, draft an official application, and send it to me."
"Thank you, cousin!"
"Call me Commander-in-Chief!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief…"

Soon, Xu Yan's team and Feng Wu's team received their official transfer orders.
Both teams officially left Defense Area 50 and moved to Defense Area 25 for reinforcements.
With the plan to keep earning money and merit points back on track, everyone was excited!
At the same time, everyone quietly reached the same conclusion.
Pang Fei was someone they needed to stay close to.

As Xu Yan reached Level 18, the production rate of Tree World Fruits increased.
He could now produce 300 per day!
With Feng Wu as the only Level 29 exception, the two teams—plus Zhou Min's foreign aid group—now totaled 43 people.
That meant 24/7 invincibility for everyone!
They had truly achieved constant, round-the-clock protection.

Meanwhile, in Defense Area 25…
The veterans stationed in the rear were exhausted.
They had been facing wave after wave of Level 30 high-level disaster beasts with no breaks in between.
Some of them hadn't slept in three days.
Despite their efforts, more and more high-level disaster beasts were appearing.
There was no end in sight.
The only thing keeping them going was the hope of reinforcements arriving soon.
At some point, a well-informed veteran brought good news.
"Good news, everyone! Reinforcements are coming to Defense Area 25!"
The moment he said that, the exhausted soldiers perked up.
"Finally! If reinforcements didn't come soon, I was going to drop dead from exhaustion!"
"I knew the Commander-in-Chief wouldn't ignore our situation. Even though the other areas are struggling too, she must've found a way to send us help!"
"This is great news! We can finally catch our breath!"
For the first time in days, they felt relief.
Then, the same soldier who delivered the news hesitated before continuing.
"Uh… there's one small issue…"
"The reinforcements are… new recruits."
Silence.
Then—
"…WHAT?!"
"You've gotta be kidding me!"
"Are you serious?! We're barely surviving against Level 30 beasts, and they send us a bunch of rookies?!"
"What the hell is the Commander-in-Chief thinking?! How the hell are we supposed to fight while babysitting them?!"
"I haven't slept in three damn days. And now, instead of reinforcements, I have rookie recruits?! I might as well lie down and die here!"
The veterans' morale instantly plummeted.
---
Soon after, Xu Yan led his teams into the rear of Defense Area 25.
The situation was exactly as bad as expected.
The veterans had successfully cleared most of the Level 30+ disaster beasts.
But they couldn't eliminate them fast enough.
Now, the number of Level 30 beasts was stacking up—
There were over sixty high-level disaster beasts.
For the exhausted veterans, this was a death sentence.
They had tried everything, but nothing was working.
With no reinforcements in sight, they had resigned themselves to dying in battle.
---
Xu Yan analyzed the battlefield.
He scanned the cluster of sixty high-level disaster beasts.
Then, with a grin, he shouted to his teams:
"The situation in Defense Area 25 is perfect!"
"It's actually way better than expected!"
"Look at all those Level 30 high-level disaster beasts!"
"Brothers, grab your weapons!"
"We're going hunting!"
