My Monster Fuses Everything Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Chapter 224: The Major Cleanup Plan

As the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon advanced into the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon, Su Han turned his attention to clearing the remaining three-ring area in the northern district of the city.

On the first day, a large number of monsters near the transit center line were cleared, involving all the Vine Giant Rats and Tree-born Worms in the battle, while the apostles clad in plate armor also joined the major push.

Due to the dispersing mist, monsters gathered in various communities, with the most found in underground garages.

Because of this characteristic, every battle involved setting up barriers, firing, and coordinated advances by armored envoys and armed contractors.

The cleaning was effective, though at the cost of considerable ammunition.

On the first day, the three cleaning teams killed over ten thousand monsters, losing 32 Vine Giant Rats, 25 Tree-born Worms, and 23 Tree Domain warriors, with several wounded.

Combat injuries were inevitable, but during this process, even more survivors were also rescued–522 people from four communities and two blocks.

The survivors were in a wretched state, especially those families eking out a living, who, without much more time, likely wouldn't have survived.

However, the survivors made it through until the Tree Domain Camp's operation.

With the arrival of the survivors, the situation of the surrounding environment became more complex, and the speed of clearing also began to increase gradually.

Also, at the end of the first day, the Nine-Snake Mother Tree completed the LV3 Spiritual Energy mine fusion, acquiring the LV3 Crystal Mine Fruit.

The output more than doubled. Every day it could transform between 100-200 Crystal Mine Fruits through the condensation of Spiritual Energy.

It might not sound high, but when converted into Spiritual Energy bullets, that amounts to about 30,000 to 60,000 bullets–a significant number.

Upon learning that the output would increase, Yan Meiyu immediately requested the armament factory to step up production.

The laboratory simultaneously expanded the production scale of enhancement and injection potions, as a means of rewarding warriors and boosting overall strength.

It's worth mentioning that Cao Yubao's Evolved Kind herbal medicine also started to yield its first three to four mu of crops, such as the Purple Flesh Notoginseng.

After much research, they now have produced a hemostatic ointment, which was distributed to the combat troops.

Many front-line strongholds were established in the three-ring area, including sealed communities and large subway stations. Sappers built walls there for the clean-up teams to rest and station, using these strongholds to expand and sweep the area.

The so-called sappers were combat personnel who had contracted with Black Rock Tree Monsters.

The initial strength of Black Rock Tree Monsters was mostly First-level Intermediate, and there were occasional First Order Upper Grade specimens. Those who were initially able to contract with Black Rock Tree Monsters had relatively high requirements for physical constitution and talent.

Before the enhancement potions came out, Zhang Dahai meticulously selected a few potentials from the infrastructure team to top up and complete the contracts.

Now, with the advent of the enhancement potions, even the relatively weaker No.1 potion, which is equivalent to a First-level Intermediate enhancement potion, could improve physique slowly with one or two injections.

Once their physique improved, they met the requirements to contract with Black Rock Tree Monsters.

Thus, the sapper plan was conceived.

The initial proposer was Zhang Xinxin, who, like Ye Kailing, had come from a stint in the Armed Forces.

After long-term exposure to Black Rock Tree Monsters, he came up with the concept of a special troop type.

The search team, serving as an exploration unit, if it could take advantage of the terrain in various exploration missions, ambush missions, and even the frequent clean-up tasks currently undertaken, would have its advantages greatly magnified.

Once he suggested the idea, it was immediately echoed by Zhu Xiong and others. Therefore, after reporting to Su Han, the troop type was scheduled.

A portion of the No.1 enhancement potion exchange rights was opened up to excellent reserve warriors and some Tree Domain warriors with good records of service.

Apart from the reservists, the ones who were sure to distinguish themselves in service were the Contractors. They might not be Second Order and in need of exchanging for Black Rock Tree Monsters, but that didn't mean they lacked family and friends.

So, with one thing leading to another, the number of Tree Domain warriors who had contracted with Black Rock Tree Monsters gradually increased.

Every pair of squads was assigned one, tasked not only with combat, but also with some terrain alteration, reinforcement, and other such duties.

It was indeed due to the establishment of these combat engineers that the plan to advance the base proceeded so smoothly, with casualties dropping significantly.

On the second day, the Tree Domain Troops continued their advance, attacking from west to east, clearing over 20,000 monsters, pushing forward through three blocks and three large communities, and discovering more than 400 survivors.

On the third day, they cleared four blocks and three community and commercial districts, finding over 700 survivors and killing more than 10,000 monsters.

On the fourth day, all personnel regrouped, shored up defenses, and Zhang Dahai's construction team split up to fortify and seal off various routes to prevent the monsters from massively retreating and fleeing.

By this day, the northern outer wall had been pushed two kilometers to the east.

On the fifth day, the Nine-Snake Mother Tree fused the flesh of 50,000 monsters, and the Essence of Flesh's level rose from LV6 to LV7.

Since the day it had finished fusing with the spiritual energy mine, the Nine-Snake Mother Tree cooperated with the clearing plan and continued fusing the large amount of monster flesh sent its way.

After several days of fusion and the consumption of a large amount of monster flesh, it finally succeeded.

At LV7, the Essence of Flesh, like a fresh force, not only caused the Nine-Snake Mother Tree to grow tremendously to 300 meters in height, standing in the camp like a towering pillar.

Apart from the surge in size, the most significant changes were in its three skills.

At LV5, the Tree Womb increased by one slot, and if the womb was strong enough or the gestation period long enough, the affinity creatures' strength could rise to Second-order Superior, and their operational range had greatly increased, leaping beyond that of the ilk to reach 20 kilometers.

The increased range of operation meant that the affinity creatures would venture out.

They would go from guarding the camp of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree to becoming its leading force.

The LV6 Vine Giant Rat advanced further to LV7, doubling in number to 4000, with an operational range of 20 kilometers.

At LV7, the number of Tree-born Worms matched that of the Vine Giant Rat, reaching 4000 heads, and their operational range impressively reached 20 kilometers as well.

The sudden increase in ilk and affinity creatures would undoubtedly be a strong force for the clearing operation, though such numbers would require more than a few days to gestate.

However, with a continuous supply of monster flesh sent from the frontline, the time required would definitely not be too long, as they would at least be of use in the sweeping battles.

“There are two thousand Tree Domain warriors on the frontline, and about 330 injured warriors have been relieved so far, with 71 fatalities. However, after screening, the replenishment of the 2nd Reserve Battalion has been completed, assisted by Zhang Xinxin for basic training, the number is around 1000, ready to be incorporated into the combat sequence at any time to undergo further battle training. In addition, according to the planned Happiness Community base and the park subway entrance base locations, supplies have already been delivered. Zhu Xiong predicts that the clearing plan can continue tomorrow,”

Within the Summer Garden Mall, which served as the headquarters, Yan Meiyu, fulfilling the role of chief supervisor, was reporting to Su Han the operational status of the entire clearance plan.

While the clearing plan might seem like just a combat strategy, its operation entirely relied on the support of Yan Meiyu and her team.

A vast amount of food, equipment, wounded transportation, and aid all depended on the backend support.

The reason why the casualty ratio of the Tree Domain warriors was relatively low was because of the adequate support.

Su Han said, “We can continue; the construction team needs to speed up. Without enclosing the walls, it won't be easy to clear everything thoroughly.”

“Understood,”

Yan Meiyu nodded, and Su Han added, “This time the Nine-Snake Mother Tree will deploy more vines, so make the most of the momentum.”

“I will coordinate the supplies to the frontline, but there is another matter. The South City camp has come over, and they want to trade for some Black Rock Tree Monsters. I can't decide on this, so they would like to meet you.”
