Chapter 343: Chapter 287: Strategic Intentions of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force
Sun Hu and a few others didn’t hesitate to talk, which didn’t surprise Su Han much; in the post-apocalyptic world, too many things could change, not to ntion non-principle stance issues.
What surprised Su Han was the discovery that besides the original heavy industry domain, Huiyuan City had hidden industries he was unaware of.
“According to Old Li and iyu’s estimates, if we incorporate the munitions factory and automobile industry into the Tree Domain, and add on the Insectoid Titan’s own tal Control ability, we’ll soon be able to restore and even adaptively remodel production lines, which will be of great help to us,” Su Han reflected.
While Su Han was in seclusion in another dinsion, after getting partial information about Huiyuan City, Zhu Xiong and other senior mbers had communicated and made new assessnts.
Although the Vine Giant Rats had already served as the Tree Domain’s transport and combat unit, vehicles still played an indispensable role in longer distance and heavier load transportation.
“How much tal do we have left?” Su Han suddenly looked at Old Zhu and casually asked.
Zhu Xiong was startled, then pondered and said, “I’m not too clear; it should be more than a million tons.”
After alloy casting at the Steel Transit Center, the Tree Domain’s alloy reserves were around a million tons.
However, the Insectoid Titan consud one hundred thousand tons of tal during the Scorpion Spider Demon period when it completed Level 9 ordinary tal Fusion, and subsequent expenditures on vehicle modification, armor plating, firearms, artillery, and cold weapons were all colossal, at one point substantially depleting the reserves.
But with the recapture of South City, more resources were integrated, and the amount could only have increased.
“That’s perfect; Huiyuan City doesn’t need to purposely save too much tal then,” Su Han’s eyes sparkled lightly.
Zhu Xiong imdiately reacted, “Are you going to Huiyuan City?”
“Mhm, bring Sun Hu and the others first, I’ll et them. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll make a trip to Huiyuan City first,” Su Han said.
No matter what the purpose of the 117th Group was, Huiyuan City was a place that Su Han, or rather the Tree Domain, could not afford to lose.
With Huiyuan City, the city cluster centered around South City would be much more secure.

Sun Hu was inford by the search team to wait for the leader’s summon here. At this mont, he was feeling very conflicted, sowhat uneasy.
As a mber of the Ard Forces, there was no doubt his actions amounted to leaking secrets; he was a betrayer.
This was where his internal struggle stemd from, but he knew he was not wrong.
Being able to venture out, he was among the more elite warriors in the 117th Group and understood how his unit operated.
Although at the first mont of the apocalypse, they had managed to stabilize the situation within the base and rapidly assembled the troops, marching towards Linshui City and quickly recapturing it.
It could be said that because of their actions, indeed, about two hundred thousand survivors were saved.
However, compared to what he saw of the Tree Domain these days, his perception was gradually changing.
The Tree Domain might not have recaptured South City imdiately, but under Su Han’s leadership, they had grown rapidly like a rolling snowball, and in terms of logistical support, they were actually even more formidable than the 117th Group.
Production, dical care, and post-apocalyptic research were all more impressive than the 117th Group’s efforts.
More importantly, the ability for inter-regional combat and the leader’s fighting power were both present in the Tree Domain.
Sun Hu would never forget the Mother Worm’s massive body as big as a mountain, or the scene where three Angel Envoys effortlessly subdued the Four-headed Centipede, far more impactful than one or two cannon shots.
Angel Envoys and Spiritual Energy were the future.
That was the fundantal reason for his change.
‘Don’t bla .’ Sun Hu’s thoughts were in turmoil as footsteps ca from outside the door. He imdiately stood up straight and looked toward the entrance.
“Leader,”
Su Han and Zhu Xiong entered the door, and with a wave of his hand, Su Han signaled Sun Hu to sit down, then asked, “Tell in detail about the 117th Group and the situation in Linshui City.”
“Yes,”
Sun Hu responded loudly and then said, “Our 117th Group is under the second division of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force, consisting of two armored battalions, a mobile battalion, and an infantry battalion, with a personnel scale of 5,000. In terms of equipnt, we have 127 Type 51 heavy tanks and 200 armored vehicles. At the onset of the apocalypse, after the rapid suppression of mutated flesh corpses, our group leader Shi Hutao sacrificed himself, and the deputy group leader Lu Changshan took over, consolidating our team, which still had about three thousand five to six hundred people.”
“Under normal conditions, you shouldn’t carry live munitions, right? That casualty rate seems a bit low?” Su Han imdiately noticed sothing fishy.
“Yes,”
Sun Hu nodded and continued, “Under usual circumstances, there would absolutely not be a lot of live munitions in the hands of soldiers. But that day was different; before we even got up, the entire unit received an order from the division headquarters to enter combat readiness, and then the dense fog appeared.”
Zhu Xiong’s complexion changed imdiately and he said, “Your combat readiness was earlier than the fog; what’s going on?”
It was too unusual; even South City had convened a eting of scholars upon seeing the strange fog.
Several hours passed between these events, yet the 117th Group was able to get combat-ready several hours beforehand.
Even if fog descended slightly earlier in the regions outside the city, it would still not explain this issue.
“I don’t know,”
Sun Hu shook his head, his expression wry: “We just received the orders. Even the group leader and deputy group leader might not know what was going on. After the fog descended, communication was cut off.”
Zhu Xiong glanced at Su Han, who was also frowning with puzzlent in his eyes. Without a doubt, the Ard Forces seed to be in possession of more information.
“What’s the situation with the Contractors of the Ard Forces?”
