My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 296 The Warrior's First Battle with the Insects

Huiyuan City, outskirts of the industrial park

Large numbers of soldiers were approaching in this direction, combat tanks were advancing along the road, and human and beast-shaped Angel Envoys rapidly shuttled between the streets and tanks, forming a protective formation.

"Bang bang bang"

Gunshots rang out continuously, and large numbers of encroaching monsters were killed by the soldiers following the pioneer team.

The battlefield continued to advance, and a large number of soldiers approached the industrial park in the northeast corner with this formation, slowly.

Zhao Sanyi held a weapon resembling a Horse-Cutting Saber in his hand, darting swiftly around the tanks, his Angel Envoy guarding the periphery. Any Second-grade Monster attempting to get close to the tanks would be immediately intercepted by him and then, without hesitation, slain.

It wasn't just him; many Second Order Contractors adopted the method of infantry-tank cooperation to ensure the speed and stability of the advance.

However, the progress was still not encouraging.

"Zhou Shan Ying, didn't you say there weren't many monsters on the periphery?"

In the midst of the Linshui Armed Forces, a lean man with a sallow complexion asked in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he simultaneously commanded his Angel Envoy to rush into the horde of monsters, aiding the soldiers in dispatching the oncoming creatures.

"I sure as hell didn't see any of these when I scouted here a few days ago."

Zhou Shan Ying had no idea why these changes had occurred. As he pondered his confusion, a skull with bat wings and four auxiliary claws swooped overhead, rushing into the horde of monsters.

The batting of the bat wings unleashed sharp blades, instantly clearing a circle of monsters. Flesh and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Be careful; there might have been some new changes."

Chen Da frowned, but there wasn't much he could say due to the current situation. They had placed no less than a hundred Lamp Tree Crystals on their way here. If they didn't take the industrial park now, the situation would likely not improve either.

"Report, fog discovered."

"Disperse the fog and continue the advance, damn it, don't skimp on the Lamp Tree Crystals."

Zhou Shan Ying instinctively retorted with a curse, but then Zhao Sanyi's voice came through: "But, Captain, that gray fog can't be dispersed at all, and it almost covers the entire industrial park."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Zhou Shan Ying and Chen Da immediately turned grim. They quickly moved to the frontlines, and by that time, they had already dispersed the monsters.

A total of seventy tanks and dozens of armored vehicles blocked off several city districts, barricading the intersections. The monsters, suppressed by their force of almost five thousand soldiers, naturally couldn't resist for long.

However, upon reaching the edge of the area, the Bug Quality mist became their greatest obstacle.

"Throw the Lamp Tree Crystals"

To confirm the situation with the fog, Zhou Shan Ying once again ordered the throwing of the Lamp Tree Crystals. Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire

Several Lamp Tree Crystals were tossed by the soldiers into the fog, emitting light as they fell into the Bug Quality mist like stones sinking into the sea, ineffective, only able to emit their own luminescence, but the fog was not dispersed in the slightest.

"Really can't get rid of it, the visibility is too low."

Although it was just a simple test, this result made Zhou Shan Ying and Chen Da's faces even more troubled.

"Construct a temporary camp, form a special ops team for reconnaissance."

"Yes"

Zhou Shan Ying ordered solemnly. Two teams immediately sprang into action, further utilizing several nearby buildings, and then they assembled Second Order warriors.

Chen Da and Zhou Shan Ying leaned in together and spoke in a lowered voice: "Do we really continue with this? The fog can't be dispersed, and if tanks go in there, they can only serve as a wall at best, not even as useful as armored vehicles."

"If we can't take the industrial park, then we might as well not bother with Huiyuan City."

Zhou Shan Ying understood clearly; the industrial system of Huiyuan City was where its value lay. Otherwise, there were more suitable towns near Linshui City that could be reclaimed.

Moreover, if they didn't secure the Huiyuan City industrial park, the weapon and equipment supplies for the entire 117th Regiment would fall behind consumption, likely leading to a severe disjunction in their combat system.

"I mean, should we hold back and ask for support from the regiment and military district? They seem to have gotten some new equipment."

Chen Da was concerned about his own equipment and his men. Exploring in such fog had never been an easy task.

Zhou Shan Ying, however, scoffed coldly and said: "Don't kid yourself, Chen. Given the current situation, what do you think the chances are of getting new equipment? People at headquarters outnumber us. And besides..."

He hesitated, as the present circumstances, though still under the command of headquarters, often required negotiating with materials and personnel—it was an undeniable fact.

It didn't mean an outrageous price in trade, but they definitely wouldn't simply give away resources without asking for something in return.

After all, every resource had to be used where it mattered most.

Chen Da sighed: "Understood. One armored vehicle per squad, and retreat if things go south."

Huiyuan City industrial park, Worm Nest Territory

Su Han passed through the Bug Quality Rift, followed by ten Tree Domain warriors clad in metal plate armor, standing tall. Leading them was the Third Order Ge Ming, with the remaining nine being Bug warriors who had undergone bug bone implantation with him.

This... is Huiyuan City? It's truly unbelievable.

All the Bug warriors couldn't help but share this thought as they looked upon the factory overtaken by Bug Quality and nests.

They knew their lord was extremely powerful, but it never crossed their minds that he had set his sights on the distant Huiyuan City.

Moreover, they now possessed a teleporting bug wormhole that could traverse space, something that exceeded their imagination.
