"The code name for this operation is Petrel."

"Move out."

Led by the Command's Iron Boss, Bao Wenhui, a hunting party made up of fifty iron people and a hundred jin people began pushing from Donghai County toward Lianyungang, hunting the ocean jin beasts that had come ashore.

The plan was to steamroll straight through, sweeping clean every jin beast below super-grade.

Groundwork for the Liaoning's return.

To bring the Liaoning's crew back might not require large-scale hunting, but to haul the Liaoning itself back from the harbor, they had to sweep out a clean, unobstructed road.

The hundred and fifty evolved people the Command and the Liaoning had assembled were all the most elite warriors, and a few of them even rode high-grade jin beast battle pets. Though no one in the Command could tame a super-grade jin beast as a battle pet, there were still two or three high-grade jin beasts — Shen Cong wasn't the only one with luck.

The weapons the hunting party carried varied in shape, but you could tell they were forged from the jin cores of super-grade jin beasts.

Shen Cong had hunted such a large batch of super-grade jin beasts, and he hadn't taken all the jin cores away — couldn't have — so he'd tossed them all to the Command. The Command had then forged a batch of weapons around the clock, handing them to these hundred and fifty evolved people to use.

Likewise, these evolved people were clad head to toe in armor made of hide, scale-plate, and exoskeleton — some of the material jin core, some metal-change, all of it from super-grade jin beasts, and some even from the Great Iron Bear.

It was certainly inferior to Shen Cong's Hell Plant Armor, but for defending against a high-grade jin beast's attacks, it could barely manage.

A hundred and fifty people, riding several sheet-iron trucks and armored cars, drove toward the front line.

The fully-armed hunting party was already the greatest combat strength the Command could put forward.

Following close behind the hunting party was a transport team made up…
