My Monster Fuses Everything

Li Ruikang looked solemn, and his gaze towards Su Han also carried a hint of expectation.

For a city manager, entrusting the responsibility of protecting the populace to someone else was undoubtedly a tough decision.

It meant unloading a burden, but as Yan Tiejun had said, it was akin to being a deserter of a different kind.

Having been in politics for most of his life, although constantly reassigned to various positions for training, he had never left this land.

Originally, he was supposed to protect the people of this land, but now he was incapable of guarding it, and his heart was filled with lament.

Su Han also grew serious and nodded solemnly, "I will reclaim South City, and I will dispatch a group from the camp here for garrison duties."

He made a promise, and Li Ruikang breathed a sigh of relief, "The handover might take some time. Resources, factories, defensive forces, and some sensitive information regarding South City, I will have organized and sent over as quickly as possible. However, I think you should let Steward Yan handle it, as it's quite complicated."

South City had three important resources.

First was the population, 20,000 people, among them many Contractors, who were protected by Li Ruikang and his team at the onset of the apocalypse. They were the foundation for redevelopment, and a significant number of them were factory employees with valuable skills.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Second was the entire industrial park, which, thanks to the cleanups by the South City camp, contained much intact production equipment. Given the materials, many items could be manufactured, representing a rebirth of production.

Third consisted of the information Li Ruikang and his colleagues held.

As the administrative officials of South City, they held more, complex information unknown to the common man—take the steel industry as an example; it was just the tip of the iceberg, yet it provided Tree Domain Camp with a million tons of metal and the oil reserves.

The large quantity of ammunition used during this massive cleanup and the fog tide offenses relied on these metals.

Besides resource information, there was also official data. South City was not a heavyweight city, and although its economy was decent within the province, it was still inferior to some larger cities.

As an ordinary person, Su Han was not well-versed in the situations of other cities or the overall governmental emergency responses, but Li Ruikang and his team should know, at least understanding possible reactions.

South City would definitely be reclaimed, but what the situation outside the city was like, and which direction to explore and develop, required more reference data.

"Mr. Li"

"Just call me Old Li."

Li Ruikang interrupted Su Han, smiling unconcerned about the change in how he was addressed, "With a change in status, if you call me that, it might cause some people to speculate. We have to admit, not everyone thinks like the three of us, wholeheartedly. We need to keep dissent under control."

With his many years of experience, how could he not know the roles of seniority and hierarchy?

Setting clear roles makes actions decisive and prevents others from harboring inappropriate intentions.

Now with the camp's sovereignty being transferred, his status before and after the apocalypse had become more sensitive, inevitably leading some to try to support him to seize power, not understanding the situation clearly.

Su Han nodded, understanding Li Ruikang's point, "Old Li, you'll still be in charge of South City Camp for now; let's postpone the handover matters. Put defense and reconnaissance as a priority. Once the Sky Cavalry arrives, we'll clarify the situation in the west of the city together.

Just the Third Order Holy Helmet Beetles alone can dispatch five at once, not to mention the Sub-Insect Humans, it's not simple over there."

Li Ruikang's expression turned grave, and he nodded, "Understood, I will arrange it."

"Yaqian, use your Talent to inform Qilan to send a large detachment of Sky Cavalry here. Also, have Nong Yun bring a construction team, order Doctor Zheng Chenhong to bring a medical team, and order Zhang Dahai to connect the Tree Domain Camp's metro tunnel with South City Camp within two days. Command Guo Gang to lead a team, taking a large reserve force to assist in defending South City Camp."

Su Han calmly made arrangements, covering everything from rescue to defensive measures.

Compared to the entirety of Tree Domain, South City Camp was too rudimentary, with walls too weak and defensive forces lacking. Although he could ensure no harm currently, he needed to quickly make up for any deficiencies to prevent accidents.

"Duan Jie, gather the monster corpses together, clean up the battlefield."

"Understood."

Su Han issued the commands one by one, and the vines of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree, under his control, had already extended around South City Camp.

As Duan Jie gathered the monster corpses, the vines covered them, continuously fusing with the flesh and blood of the monsters.

Li Ruikang, Yan Tiejun, and Guo Wutao were also actively preparing for the handover, especially working on the mindset of their subordinates to prevent chaos.

Unlike ordinary camps, South City Camp was massive and had a more complete system.

This was an advantage in that the order was clear, but the downside was also apparent, integration during merging was not easy and required sorting out.

-----------------

In Tree Domain Camp, Bai Qilan stood atop the Third Hospital in Weng City, with monsters continuously emerging from the rifts in a different dimension. Two Third Order Blood Bone Ghouls stood in the center of Weng City, launching an assault towards the walls of the city.

This was the final surge from the dimensional rift, particularly fierce after the accumulation of many monsters.

However, as the monsters surged forward in attack, both the Blade Spider Mother and the Blood King Snake had already entered this battlefield of Weng City.
