My Monster Fuses Everything Chapter 216: 203 Cleaning and Harvesting

Chapter 216: Chapter 203 Cleaning and Harvesting

The Fusion of the Snake-headed Vine Puppet was destined not to be an easy task, as the progress was slow because even in its unconscious state, its resistance was extrely strong.

Su Han made a quick estimate, according to the current rate of Fusion, it would take at least a day to fully amalgamate such a massive body.

However, fortunately, after the Snake-headed Vine Puppet had been subdued, the fallers that had occupied the area had already scattered like birds and beasts.

Originally, the fallers had gathered here because they were guided by the Snake-headed Vine Puppet.

Through torture and seduction, it turned Contractors into fallers and then devised ways to gather more monsters to this place, slowly Devouring everything.

All the power it possessed was gathered through such thods.

The fallers it nurtured were one of its sources of sustenance, as the strong Spiritual Energy and willpower were very rare food for its own body.

The reason it occupied this area was partly due to its intense desire to Devour the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, and on the other hand, it did not have the sa mobility as the Mother Nest Ancient Tree.

Although it could move, its body structure made it almost impossible to leave without making a sound.

This was also why, when the Tree Domain Camp was noisily closing in on the Second Ring Area, they would erge at this ti.

There was no other choice.

However, precisely because of this premature eruption of the beast tide, about fifty to sixty percent of the monsters in the entire Second Ring Area had been slaughtered, greatly accelerating the Tree Domain’s project progress.

Zhang Dahai arrived with the entire construction team. In the recent battle, although so of them were injured, it was not very serious, hence the team remained intact.

“Good gracious, this is terrifying.”

Zhang Dahai looked at the Wanda Mall comrcial district, which now resembled ruins. High-rises had collapsed, mountains of concrete and rubble had ford, with steel reinforcents laid bare, most of which had been pulled out and pierced into the Snake-headed Vine Puppet by the Scorpion Spider Demon.

Standing before these ruins, everyone felt as if they were looking up at a small hill.

“Nong Yun, survey the terrain and plan how we will build the walls; Old Zhang, pay close attention to covering and guarding our surroundings. The follow-up work can wait for Old Zhu and the others to co over and take over.”

“Understood.”

The construction team imdiately went into action and began to survey the entire area surrounding the Wanda Mall comrcial district.

Due to the damage from the battle, much of the ground and surrounding buildings were destroyed, naturally reducing the number of places that could be used as entry points for a defensive wall. To build a wall, the entire periter would have to be enclosed.

However, since it was all ruins now, all the concrete slabs and stones beca available materials.

Zhu Xiong arrived with his team, accompanied by a large number of Vine Giant Rats. Together, they transported masses of rock slabs to designated spots.

The construction team then ca up with a plan to build enveloping defensive walls around the Wanda Mall comrcial district, with the current ruins to be turned into a Weng City fortress.

In a single day’s ti, under the continuous efforts of eighty Black Rock Tree Monsters, a defensive wall, seven ters high and two ters wide, was quickly erected.

The ground was rapidly leveled and, at the sa ti, the Scorpion Spider Demon used large quantities of tal to forge a massive gate, completing the enclosure of the Wanda Mall comrcial district.

After the completion of this enclosure, the construction team split into three, continuing to repair other breaches, and thoroughly sealed them.

The closure of the Second Ring Area was completed, and the patrolling, searching, and reserve teams also finished their reorganization within this day.

After the great battle, there were 7 deaths, 31 serious injuries, and 231 minor injuries. These were the exact numbers after a complete tally.

Compared to the number of combatants, the casualty rate was less than one-tenth, which was considered a major victory.

But eradicating a large number of monsters was just a beginning, for the monsters scattered throughout the Second Ring Area, especially those hidden in high-rises, garages, and civil air defense works, still accounted for a significant proportion.

Ye Kailing estimated that their number should be between ten to twenty thousand, probably not much less than the previous besieging monsters.

However, these numbers, dispersed throughout the Second Ring Area, would not be as conspicuous.

Zhu Xiong, Gan Xinglei, Ye Kailing, and Guo Gang reorganized their teams, treated the lightly wounded, and those who could continue fighting imdiately joined back into combat.

Three cleaning squads were ford, with several smaller squads underneath each, with about fifteen people per squad, each led by a Second-order Contractor.

In Su Han’s camp at present, there were not a few Second-order Contractors. Xia Ning, Zhao Yimin, Cheng Xiyuan as the core middle layer, with Zhang Xinxin, Guo Du and others joining the reserve middle layer.

All in all, there were about twenty Second-orders, although so like Bai Shan were working in the rear, and Zhu Junhua, Bai Yaolong, and Quan Yan were stationed at the eastern city’s interdinsional rift.

Still, over ten were available for combat, and following the battle, as the exchange for injections and strength-enhancing potions opened up, more Second-orders would be born.

In order to quickly secure the entire Second Ring Area, almost all combatants were dispatched.

At the sa ti, Yan iyu mobilized a large number of Tree Domain residents to co to the Third Hospital to start cleaning up the battlefield.

The number of Contractors among the residents was not small; it was just that their talents were slightly weaker, and they were not good at combat.

However, there were many who had contracted with creatures like the Vine Giant Rat or the at Corpse Apostle.

Everyone participated in the cleanup of the battlefield, moving multitude of monster corpses into transport vehicles; so were directly hauled by trucks, while others were dragged by Vine Giant Rats.

In the post-apocalyptic world as it stood, those who feared corpses and monsters had long since perished.

Therefore, the cleanup was faster than expected, with more than half of the monster carcasses cleared out in a day and transported to the pits in the First Ring area.

After counting, the number of beasts that rioted this ti reached over thirty thousand, close to forty thousand.

There was a mountain of corpses, and without Su Han, even with many more Second-order beings, they would have likely been torn apart by monsters.

By dawn the next day, the Mother Nest Ancient Tree had completed the Fusion with the main body of the Snake-headed Vine Puppet, Fusion Degree: 24%.

The Fusion Degree wasn’t high, but at this mont, the pit was filled with monster flesh awaiting Fusion.

The Mother Nest Ancient Tree naturally took on an Anthropomorphic State and returned to the vicinity of Sumr Garden Avenue in the First Ring area, replanting itself, with a profusion of roots and vines embedding into the monster flesh to continue the Fusion.

At this point, the range of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree’s vine extension was around seven kiloters, which although not enough to cover the entire North City area, was sufficient to cover the Second Ring area completely.

Hence, even if stationed at Sumr Garden Avenue, it could gradually extend its vines to various areas within the Tree Domain range.

The closer to the main body, the denser the vines; the farther out, the relatively sparser they beco.

But even a bit sparser, the vines were enough to coordinate with the entire camp’s actions.

Zhu Xiong, leading three teams, searched different areas of the Second Ring district, and this ti, they could search without being overly cautious.

Surrounded by high walls, the construction team was patrolling and progressively fortifying the wall; the requirent was to reach ten ters in height and three ters in width to be considered adequate, and barrier tall buildings were required to reinforce one side of the wall. Although not to the point of demolishing and rebuilding, it was enough to increase strength.

Under such large-scale operations, with the cover of underground vines, over a hundred Parasitic Corpse Willows were transplanted to various intersections in the Second Ring area, effectively segregating the scattered monsters in each area.

Small team mbers, led by Second-order warriors in plate armor, faced little threat from isolated monsters.

Thus at every location, they would lay down Ancient Tree Crystals to dispel the fog, then thodically search and kill these wandering monsters.

At the sa ti, they began rescue operations for survivors, excluding those with a spotty record or who were extrely unstable, all others were gathered into the fold without a choice.

After three to four months of accumulation, the Tree Domain Camp no longer had the pressing concern of food shortages post the battle at Qingbei Grain Depot, and now with a large harvest, worries for the future were eliminated.

The camp’s infrastructure was perfected, and the restoration of the production order was underway; now was the ti to start growing exponentially.

Population had beco an important resource, and now Su Han didn’t just aim to take over the entire North City but also to gather the remaining survivors under his command and get the snowball rolling completely.

Many monsters were drawn out of the buildings by the commotion caused by Zhu Xiong and his team, launching attacks on them.

Crossbow arrows fired in volleys, Apostles entangled, the teams ford triads and cooperated to kill; the monsters’ onslaught seed futile in front of the Tree Domain warriors who had been baptized by great battles.

Even if Second-grade Monsters mounted a charge, the team leaders managed to counter them first, with two Second-Rank Apostles cooperating to kill as many as possible.

The only things that could cause trouble were the corrupted beings.

Not every corrupted being moved in groups, nor was each corrupted being of Second-order strength.

More corrupted beings, although increased in strength after twisting and corrupting, preferred to attack from the shadows, which was their favored tactic.

In the two to three days of the operation, the corrupted beings launched thirteen sneak attacks and laid traps, with a total of twenty-one corrupted beings, so of which operated in groups.

They had beco corrupted for various reasons, ranging from consuming raw monster flesh out of hunger and mutating as a result to those who were captured by certain survivor teams and endured degradation and abuse until they twisted…

The causes of the corrupted’s transformation were many, but now they had all beco dangerous beings with grotesque appearances and warped, insane wills.

When the search teams moved between building floors and patrolled the alleys, these attacks were the most threatening.

Two died, and thirteen were injured; these were the losses suffered by Su Han’s side in the short span of a day or two of the clean-up.

But conversely, the gains were also not insignificant.

As the cleanup proceeded, many survivors were discovered; in just two days ti, nearly 400 people had been brought out, and the number of people in the camp was continuously climbing.

Although it was impossible to reach pre-apocalyptic levels, the eventual number was expected to be significant nonetheless.

On Su Han’s side, after three whole days of Fusion, the Mother Nest Ancient Tree finally completed the Fusion of nearly thirty thousand monster carcasses in the pits, finishing the Fusion of the Snake-headed Vine Puppet.
