My Monster Fuses Everything

Su Han's face showed contemplation as he asked, "Is it Lisu County and Sanli Town?"

Bai Qilan nodded and said, "Lisu County had already formed a major beast tide when Zhang Xinxin escaped, and it's just over fifty kilometers away from us. Logically, it should have affected us by now, but there has been no movement till now, and the situation might be a bit off."

Su Han asked, "Has the Sky Cavalry been sent to check?"

"No, it's too difficult," she replied unequivocally.

Bai Qilan said candidly, "Although the Sky Cavalry can indeed cover a distance of 100 kilometers, which is sufficient to reach Sanli Town and Lisu County, in reality, flying that distance with zero visibility is simply not feasible, even low-altitude flights are extremely difficult and can result in losing direction."

Flying with zero visibility is too challenging; even with an Ancient Tree Crystal on hand, which can disperse the fog for only a few hundred meters at most, beyond that everything is shrouded in haze, making it almost impossible to distinguish north from south, let alone beware of potential monsters.

Flying outside the city for exploration isn't like inside the city; there aren't as many reference points for low-altitude flights, nor are there clear landmarks like tall buildings and roads.

With the Nine-Snake Mother Tree present, the connection with the descendant clan and the nest remains unbroken, so returning isn't a problem, but accurately locating and navigating the outbound trip is the real challenge.

They don't have lighthouses in Lisu County and Sanli Town.

Su Han frowned slightly; Ye Kailing had mentioned this issue to him before, though in such a large environment, there aren't many solutions. Stronger perception or more obvious road signs and lighthouses are the only solutions—of course, there's also the slow method of literally 'paving' a path and creating navigational signs.

"Maybe focus on enhancing your side first, your strength improvement is more important than anything else. The Tree Domain already has a population of over 80,000; we can start to restore some order of production," she advised.

Bai Qilan was clearly more concerned about Su Han and understood the heavy pressure he was carrying.

Su Han smiled and said, "If this plan has made it to you, there must be benefits and drawbacks that are hard to give up. Saving people is one aspect, but there are also other considerations."

Bai Qilan became slightly silent and then said, "Yes, in addition to Lisu County and Sanli Town potentially complementing the South City camp in terms of location and boosting our population. The ecological research on Lisu County and the value of the Sanli Town Reservoir as a reserve water source are considerable."

Su Han could understand the matter of reserve water sources, since South City has many water sources with several rivers passing through the city.

Yet, with the apocalypse monsters emerging, although the Tree Domain has been very cautious in safeguarding water safety, no one can guarantee that accidents won't happen. Discover stories at empire

Therefore, developing an additional water source is not only about breeding more Evolved Kinds but also about ensuring the safety of the water supply, being able to immediately substitute it in case of any emergencies.

Su Han asked, "The ecology of Lisu County?"

Bai Qilan explained, "In the typology of cities we've hypothesized, we made several assumptions—human cities, fallen cities, and ruin cities.

As with our Tree Domain, it can be considered a human city that has reclaimed the city, fallen cities are where survivors and monsters intertwine and confront each other, and the last type is either survivors being annihilated or completely suppressed, dominated by monsters,"

"We don't have much data on fallen cities and ruin cities. If we could find clues, it would be more beneficial for us to speculate on the situation in other cities and plan the next steps. Moreover, in fallen cities, where the restraint of survivors is lost, monsters dominate alone, constantly evolving.

It is very likely that ecologies we haven't seen before will emerge, which hold great research value and can also provide us with more information," she said.

Su Han nodded understandingly and said, "Then let's expand outward. The conversion of Bug Quality needs a large amount of flesh, and my Angel Envoy's evolution also requires powerful monsters and flesh. Attacking outward and my Fusion advancement aren't in great conflict. As for the alternate dimension, we can integrate it slowly. Let Old Zhu and the others come up with a plan."

Bai Qilan nodded and said, "I'll talk to them."

The next morning, when Bai Qilan relayed the plan to Yan Meiyu and Zhu Xiong, they immediately convened some senior executives to start formulating an offensive plan.

Although the Tree Domain is not lacking in strength, venturing out of the city to attack other cities, even if it's just the county within the jurisdiction, the difficulty and danger are not small.

How to arrange the route, what to use as a stronghold upon arrival, how to attack, and how to handle dangers that arise—all these need to be well-prepared.

Although Su Han is powerful, any plan must not rely entirely on one point; otherwise, if an accident occurs, the entire team could be doomed.

Su Han did not intervene in the planning but went to the Bug Nest area with the Mother Worm.

The once vast area of ruins was now covered with gray Bug Quality tissue; a thin layer on the ground, over the ruins, and on the buildings, only clearing the roads. Worker Bugs were moving back and forth, dragging large chunks of flesh and throwing them into piles of Bug Quality.

This is the task of the Worker Bugs—to collect organic matter and deliver it to the Bug Quality for conversion, while also taking on other tasks within the Bug Nest area.

Although Bug Quality can devour organic matter and grow continuously by itself, its conversion rate doesn't compare to the speed of the Mother Worm.

Towering high in the ruins, the Mother Worm had built four nests before entering the alternate space, now standing like towers with four or five bug sacs attached to each nest, continuously breeding Worker Bugs and Cutworms.
