My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 267 Deduce the Situation

"It's over, I'm out of a job, no more Contribution Value."

Zhu Xiong was dumbfounded. The Nine-Snake Mother Tree had previously cleared areas quickly, being a nest-type Angel Envoy, which was understandable. But now, even the Scorpion Spider Demon or rather the Insectoid Titan possessed such sweeping capabilities, which truly shocked him.

Jokes aside, the overwhelming power brought about by the leap in strength was indeed terrifying and made him feel immense pressure.

Su Han stopped moving. On the ground, there were still some severely injured monsters buried under piles of corpses. Although they were still struggling, their injuries were so severe that they could no longer continue to fight.

With a gentle swing of its massive hand, the Insectoid Titan caused a multitude of metal blades to fall, piercing the bodies of the monsters and nailing them to the ground.

"The proportion of Spiritual Energy consumed in this scale of battle is much less, yet the power has increased a lot, this Advancement isn't bad."

Although it was just a small battle, it was enough for Su Han to further understand the current strength of the Insectoid Titan.

"Old Zhu"

"Right here, is this the evolution of the Scorpion Spider Demon?"

Zhu Xiong, looking up, replied to Su Han who was on the shoulder of the Insectoid Titan.

"Yes, the Insectoid Titan."

Su Han answered and then said to Zhu Xiong, "After clearing the west of the city, determine the position of the perimeter wall, clear the land outside the set position, and plant the Parasitic Corpse Willow."

"Understood."

The recapture of the entire city was imminent, but the real challenge was how to properly handle the affairs of South City.

Su Han was thankful he wasn't alone, otherwise he would be stretched too thin to manage everything.

He controlled the Insectoid Titan to return to the Tree Domain Camp. By this time, the Nine-Snake Mother Tree was no longer stationed there, but at a location in the city center.

From that position, its extending vines could best monitor the surroundings.

He had just returned when the Insectoid Titan was returned into the Book of Blood Spirit. He arrived at Summer Garden Mall and stood in front of his room, where he found Li Ruikang and Yan Tiejun had been waiting for some time.

"Old Li, Old Yan, is there something you need?"

Li Ruikang said, "To hand over some matters, some things we had previously speculated about and known."

He smiled, but his tone was very serious: "However, our rank might not be enough to know some things."

An official of a city actually saying his rank was not sufficient made Su Han's eyes sharpen, and he became much more serious: "Let's talk inside."

The three of them entered the room, Su Han poured water for Li Ruikang and Yan Tiejun, and they each took a seat around the living room coffee table.

"Is it about resources, or?"

Su Han spoke first, his gaze moving between Li Ruikang and Yan Tiejun, carrying a hint of curiosity.

"It's not about the distribution of resources, and you probably wouldn't be too interested in that."

Li Ruikang shook his head, smiling as he spoke: "Those matters are gradually being handed over to Meiyu, who has quickly grasped them and is already implementing plans."

Although Li Ruikang and Yan Tiejun, like Guo Wutao, also possessed Second-order Superior strength, they were not in combat units but in the administrative sector, serving as the third-highest authority in the Tree Domain administration.

Ranking below Yan Meiyu and Zhang Dahai, this was Li Ruikang's own choice; Su Han had originally intended him to be his deputy.

Li Ruikang had his own plan: since he had shed the burden, he wanted to be completely free from it.

He knew that if he handled the administration himself and made plans based on decades of experience and wisdom, he could do it more smoothly.

But, he couldn't do that.

He was already a man in his fifties, and even as a Contractor, what could that change?

The burden of South City was not on him, he, Yan Tiejun, and the others, now only thought of one thing: to pass on their experience and knowledge to the younger generation.

Thus, he did not seize real power but instead assisted Yan Meiyu, teaching her everything he could.

Yan Tiejun chose the reserves, also passing on his combat and training skills, which although not crucial, could still be of use.

Guo Wutao joined the patrol team, aiding in training, team building, and system structure.

"You guys are thoughtful."

Su Han likely understood the intent of Li Ruikang and the others and sincerely thanked them.

"There's not much we can do."

Li Ruikang responded, then changed the topic: "We wanted to discuss some situations outside South City."

Su Han showed surprise and immediately asked, "When you were in the South District, did you already make contact with other cities?"

"No, but based on the information we had, we made some deductions."

Deductions?

Su Han's brow furrowed slightly, and Yan Tiejun began to explain: "South City is just a normal city with a population of just one or two million. At the onset of the apocalypse, just from our efforts, we were able to successfully raise a team and gather a large number of survivors. Based on ourselves as samples, we carried out small-scale deductions."

"Not every city has people like you three; you understand this better than I do."

If every city had leaders like them, many things wouldn't be so disastrous.

"I admit that point, but there are many people in the team who are even more formidable than we are, and it's not the leaders that are key but the resources," Li Ruikang hinted, to which Su Han quickly caught on: "Armed forces?"

"Yes"

Li Ruikang continued: "South City isn't a fortified city; its armed forces are mainly composed of the Armed Forces stationed within the city along with another force comprising security personnel, the primary weapons being firearms, with almost no heavy weapons.

However, some important cities and those close to military areas, or even those that are military bases themselves, have far greater capabilities to withstand the apocalypse than South City."
