Chapter 380: Chapter 303: Wushan Base_2
Su Han only stayed in Hengchuan City for three days. In that ti, the Mother Worm built ten nests and a Bug Quality Rift.
Almost all of the monster corpses and Bug Quality were exhausted, and Chen Limin and his fellow Second Order insect warriors went all out in killing monsters during these three days.
From initially fighting with a team of ten, to later guiding the multiplying swarm in their attacks, they greatly increased the speed of killing monsters.
The Insect Armor gloves proved far more useful than when Su Han had tested them, providing sudden protection comparable to a personal shield and granting Chen Limin and the others nurous opportunities to strike deadly blows and complete kills.
After three days, Chen Limin was the first to break through his own limitations, becoming a Lower Tier of the Third Order Contractor.
With this, the situation in Hengchuan City gradually stabilized, and Su Han proceeded to bring the Mother Worm back to the Tree Domain.

Wushan Base
Zhou Shanying had already spent a full seven days at the Wushan Base.
After receiving an order from his regint chief, Lu Changshan, he brought n and materials non-stop to the Wushan Base to report the situation to the headquarters of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force.
But several days had passed since the report with still no reply, which left him feeling sowhat uneasy.
He wasn’t worried that the Southwest Military Preparedness Force would let him down. Although resources were tight and disputes might arise over distribution, or even require trade with raw materials, on the whole, they were all part of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force.
“Commander, we’ve almost finished exchanging goods, we’ve swapped the materials we brought for enhancent potions and injections, when can we return?”
“Get lost!”
A younger and less experienced warrior under his command quietly asked Zhou Shanying, who was pacing while smoking, and was t with a round of cursing.
“Wait for the General’s order. Why the rush, I’m more anxious than you are, we will receive information today.”
“117th Regint, Zhou Shanying.”
“Present!”
Zhou Shanying had just finished speaking when a loud call ca from outside the door. He imdiately straightened up, threw away his cigarette, and replied loudly.
“Follow , General Qin wants to see you.”
“Yes!”
Zhou Shanying imdiately strode through the door, where a Second Order guard stood erect, waiting outside.
Upon seeing Zhou Shanying erge, the guard saluted and then said, “Follow .”
The two of them moved briskly toward the depths of the camp. At this ti, the military camp’s location was actually at the Wushan City Governnt Plaza. Temporary military camps were scattered to the left and right of the plaza, with nearby buildings requisitioned as office blocks, and the main governnt building now serving as the office area for the headquarters of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force.
Zhou Shanying followed the man to the governnt building and all the way to the large conference room. After a loud call and a report, a deep voice ca from behind the maroon door, “Co in.”
“Yes!”
Zhou Shanying stood straight, then pushed the door open with a big step. Inside, a circle of people already sat wearing military uniforms, except for one elderly man in his sixties at the end who was dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit.
“Reporting to the General, Zhou Shanying reporting for duty.”
Zhou Shanying’s gaze remained on the old man in the middle. He looked aged only because of his graying hair and the slight wrinkles on his hardened face. However, judging by his physique, he was exceedingly robust, resembling a tiger in his old age.
The old man was in his fifties, the high-ranking General of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force, Qin Henghu, who, by a miracle, survived the initial phase of the apocalypse. He used iron-fisted thods to unite the 9th and 11th Divisions, taking control of Wushan City and protecting the population of a million people. Despite casualties, the vital workforce was preserved under his strong leadership.
Later, he decisively secured the surrounding Tang City, saving a significant portion of the military industrial complex and the talents within the research institutions, solidifying the entire Wushan Base.
To his left and right sat older military staff and deputy generals of the Ard Forces. Besides them, a few individuals in their twenties and thirties with the rank of Colonel but not lacking in strength, all around Third Order, represented the new generation of Contractors within the army.
“Yingshan, sit down and report.”
Although Qin Henghu maintained a stern face, he was not overbearingly arrogant but rather kind in his tone towards Zhou Shanying.
“Yes.”
Zhou Shanying did not stand on ceremony and sat down at the last seat. As a Third Order Contractor, his strength was his greatest source of confidence.
Though not part of headquarters, he would not be treated too poorly, which is the assurance of a Contractor.
Everyone understood that Contractors would beco the core strength of the Ard Forces and even humanity in the future.
“We have already reviewed the information about the Fourth Order Contractor, Su Han.”
General Qin got straight to the point, his gaze settling on Zhou Shanying as he slowly continued, “It’s understandable that the 117th Regint could not prevail against a Fourth Order Contractor. I won’t be too harsh on Lu Changshan, but regarding how to interact with him, Lu Changshan must establish a relationship, preferably showcasing the strength of our Ard Forces.”
Zhou Shanying’s face changed as he said, “General, that man is powerful, if we confront him head-on, we might suffer losses.”
“Hmph, we can’t be sure he’s Fourth Order.”
Zhou Shanying hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by a dark-faced, muscular man with cold-looking eyes and an icy tone, “He only defeated you and Chen Da. Although surviving the barrage of more than seventy tanks is impressive, it’s conceivable that a superior Third Order could do the sa.”
“Lone Wolf, what do you an by that?”
Zhou Shanying glared angrily, staring down the man known as Lone Wolf.
