Chapter 368: Chapter 298: Reaction of Group 117
[Insectoid Titan LV10 Normal tal Fusion successful, acquired skill advancent: LV3 tal Controller, acquired skill: tal Explosion]
While Ge Ming led the insect horde to cleanse Huiyuan City, Su Han continuously ordered the Insectoid Titan to transform Iron Slave Monsters through tal Erosion. Additionally, knowing Su Han was collecting tal, the insect horde’s engineer bugs also exerted effort, delivering scrapped cars they found during the sweep to Su Han.
In just a few days, the amount of ta collected had reached two to three hundred thousand tons.
The pile of tal looked imnse, but for the Insectoid Titan, it was nothing special.
You must know, its Normal tal Fusion had already reached LV9, and now it had fused up to LV10; a few hundred thousand tons of tal were just barely enough.
So, after fusing for several days, the fusion was finally complete.
As the fusion completed, the aura of the Insectoid Titan climbed step by step, the long accumulation burst forth, elevating it directly from Fourth Rank Lower Class to Fourth-order Interdiate.
The surrounding tal moved accordingly, changing shapes, floating around like raindrops, spinning nonstop.
With the advancent of the tal Controller’s level, its control over tal, both in range and intensity, had grown even stronger, making it more flexible and effortless in battle.
What thrilled Su Han even more was the skill tal Explosion; the injection of special Spiritual Energy caused the tal structure to beco unbalanced, thus triggering explosions comparable to large-scale bombs.
The power of this explosion varied with the strength of the tal and the amount of Spiritual Energy injected into it, releasing different levels of force.
If discussed separately, tal Explosion was simply a variant of a bomb, but with the coordination of the tal Controller, the Insectoid Titan could unleash a downpour of explosions.
“Its capability for mass destruction has grown significantly stronger.”
Excitent flashed in Su Han’s eyes; facing an increasingly monstrous number of monsters, each additional ability for mass killing could potentially have miraculous effects on alleviating the situation, and who knows whether it could be a single ‘nuclear bomb’ or a scattered ‘missile’ if it was highly condensed and infused with a large amount of Spiritual Energy?

Mobile Camp, Armored Camp Base
After being repelled by Su Han and taking a brief rest for a day to ensure no major issues with personnel, having gathered so vehicles to use as troop carriers, Zhou Shan Ying and Chen Da didn’t hesitate at all; they took the several hundred survivors they had saved during this period and directly left Huiyuan City.
As a regular army, the Ard Forces not only competed for resources but also rescued survivors, undoubtedly holding a higher moral standard compared to the typical Survivors’ Camp.
However, they were deficient in transforming their military system; in quickly recapturing Linshui City nearby, they could be described as swift and fierce, but when it ca to intercity combat, resource supply, and overpowering strength, they were lacking.
Even though Su Han had driven them away this ti, even without Su Han, just in the industrial park alone, there were at least three Third Order Monsters and tens of thousands of regular monsters; the sheer number and complex terrain were enough to trouble them greatly.
You must know, their two camps had only five to six thousand people; with ammunition supply not being continuous, the risk involved in attacking was still significant.
Even if they might have successfully taken it over, the losses would have been difficult to estimate, and with other camps coveting their position, they could very well have had their efforts exploited by others.
Recognizing this reality, they naturally left Huiyuan City without further ado.
Without the slow speed of tanks to hold them back, the speed at which the entire group withdrew was much faster than when they had arrived.
In just one day, they had reached the vicinity of Linshui City.
Large fields covered both sides of the road, fields connected by paths; amidst the fields, at intervals, stood tall tal poles, the base of each wrapped in concrete, roughly twenty ters in height, with Lamp Tree Crystals placed at the top.
The entire area was enveloped in a faint yellow light, with figures faintly visible working in the fields, but there were more Angel Envoys working, while Contractors stood at the edges of the fields.
This was the outer periphery of Linshui City; cultivating enough fields was essential to feed nearly two hundred thousand rescued people.
Therefore, besides developing the city’s internal fields, farming had also beco a major focus in Linshui City.
These fields didn’t have much in the way of protective asures, or rather, the outermost fields didn’t have much defense because they themselves were part of the defensive structures.
Exchanging illumination for defense ti, the Lamp Tree Crystals providing light for the fields were primarily set up for the sake of Linshui City itself.
As the troops approached closer, their movent attracted more attention; passing through the farm area, what ca into view were ditches, cheval de frise, each about five ters wide and seven to eight ters deep, with steel-reinforced spikes at the bottom of the pits, and single-sided cheval de frise set across the pits.
Such defenses spanned a distance of nearly two hundred ters with seven or eight lines, and at so places, there were traces of poured gasoline and kerosene; if any monsters managed to reach here, they would be baptized by endless fire.
And after the last line of defense, was the wall of Linshui City.
The wall was about four ters high, the width estimated to not exceed two ters, made of concrete and stone, very new in appearance, with quite a few workers visible still constructing it, and at various places on the wall, heavy firearms like machine guns, mortars, and a large number of Ard Forces soldiers were positioned.
