Chapter 367: Chapter 297 Conflict Begins_2
 

“Impossible.”

Neither Zhou Shan Ying nor Chen Da could accept the humiliation of laying down their arms without a fight; it was not just embarrassing, it was a disgrace.

“Attack!”

Zhou Shan Ying issued the direct command to attack, and the muzzles of seventy tanks immediately aimed at Su Han and the Mother Worm.

Two of the six Angel Envoys belonging to the pair charged at the Giant Mountain Insect and the Tunnel Giant Worm, while the remaining Envoys and the two used all their power to attack the Mother Worm.

They all knew one thing: the real threat was the Mother Worm, not the other Giant Mountain Insects.

Nearly a hundred shells and countless bullets attacked Su Han, but he remained completely still, while the Mother Worm hissed, sending out a wave of psychokinetic power sweeping forth.

In an instant, bullets and shells alike were frozen in mid-air, halted by this terrifying psychokinetic force, as if mired in a swamp.

Boom!

The sky full of shells exploded like fireworks, creating a spectacular scene.

But such a spectacle, when seen by Zhou Shan Ying and his men, was utterly terrifying because such a wide range of attacks had been effortlessly blocked.

Zhou Shan Ying and Chen Da gritted their teeth and pressed on with their attack, sensing an invisible barrier ahead of them that even the Third Order Apostle found exceedingly difficult to penetrate.

Although Su Han was within arm’s reach, clear and visible, they couldn’t advance any further.

The Mother Worm’s mandibles twitched, and a shockwave burst forth, hitting the six envoys. With one strike, flesh tore apart, blood splattered, and bodies were thrown backward in a ghastly state.

In an instant, the entire battlefield fell deathly silent, as even the well-trained Armed Forces soldiers felt an overwhelming fear they could not suppress.

For the first time, they felt that their weapons were utterly useless.

Zhou Shan Ying and Chen Da stood frozen in place, backs drenched in cold sweat, faces as pale as paper. They had joined the attack with the Apostles; the reason they were unharmed was not due to their own strength but because Su Han had shown mercy.

Indeed, they had felt the threat of death from the Apostles during that strike, and had the attack been just a bit more forceful, all the Apostles might have died.

“I’m taking all seventy tanks, half of the armored vehicles for you, and you will withdraw from Huiyuan City within two days, understand?”

Su Han’s tone was still calm, but this time Zhou Shan Ying and his men didn’t feel the weight of his words was lacking.

Zhou Shan Ying said solemnly, “Fine.”

Reluctantly, but outmatched, if they didn’t bow their heads now, the man opposite could easily wipe them out.

This wasn’t an exaggeration but a fact, for they had no way to contend with the huge Apostle before them.

Unless it was a large-caliber missile, they might not even be able to harm him.

One by one, the Armed Forces soldiers emerged from their tank cockpits, their expressions incredibly complex.

Soon, the mobile and armored camps assembled, and Zhou Shan Ying summoned his Apostles back into the Book of Blood Spirit, to give them a chance to recover.

Before leaving, he couldn’t resist looking back at Su Han and asked, “Your strength is formidable; may I know your name?”

“Tree Domain, Su Han.”

This time, Su Han responded without any irony or coldness, just a simple reply.

With the name secured, Zhou Shan Ying quickly led his troops in retreat. Although there wasn’t a major loss of personnel, the loss of material resources was substantial, and heaven knew how they would explain upon return.

“Lord, should we keep an eye on them?”

“No need,”

Su Han wasn’t worried that the Armed Forces from Linshui City wouldn’t retreat; their main objective could no longer be achieved. Now, staying in Huiyuan City served no purpose. Of course, if they wanted to spend a great deal of resources to rescue survivors, that would be another matter.

However, clearly, a cross-city operation to rescue survivors wasn’t feasible, it would be more practical to rescue the survivors from the surrounding county cities.

“Transfer the equipment inside the factory, and later have Deputy Commander Yan Tiejun send people who can drive to take them back,”

Su Han’s eyes flickered as he said, “As for your mission, lead the Zerg to cleanse the city. Your targets are all the monsters except for the survivors. I only have one requirement: this city must bear the mark of the Tree Domain; you are the vanguard.”

Ge Ming’s eyes flashed with excitement; he certainly understood the heavy responsibility that came with the word ‘vanguard.’ As one of the first batch of insectoid warriors, he absolutely couldn’t tarnish their reputation.

“Yes, Lord.”

Under the command of the insectoid warriors, the worker bugs quickly transferred tanks and armored vehicles into the bug mist for temporary storage, waiting for the Tree Domain people to drive them back.

When Su Han mentioned transporting them back, he didn’t mean shipping them over the expressway surface. Such a large convoy, if unescorted, would surely attract attacks from wild monsters, which would be quite troubling.

Therefore, his plan was to transport them through the tunnels once they were constructed.

Huiyuan City was a crucial city guarding South City and also one of the temporarily determined industrial bases.

The need for a connection between the two cities was naturally significant, hence the need for a wider tunnel.

After repelling the Armed Forces from Linshui City, Su Han ordered a Tunnel Giant Worm here to start digging the tunnel, while, in the direction of South City, another Tunnel Giant Worm was also in action, digging from the opposite direction.

Despite the long distance, the simultaneous work of the three Tunnel Giant Worms didn’t delay matters too much.

After reclaiming the tanks, Ge Ming swiftly divided his squad into groups. He, Ying Jian and Niu Zhigao led their respective teams, each controlling about two to three thousand Zerg, and began their sweep.

First, they began with the remaining factories in the industrial park. With a three-pronged assault, monster hordes fiercely counterattacked, but when it came to group fights, the Zerg never fell behind.

A massive charge from the worker bugs and scorpion bugs, coupled with beheadings from blade bugs, quickly overwhelmed the monsters’ counteroffensive, successfully seizing the remaining factories step by step.

Even with the presence of Third Order Monsters, the Giant Mountain Insect proved its worth, using its massive body to restrain and then, combined with Ge Ming’s own Third Order strength, successfully executed the kill.

It was during the cleanup of the industrial park that Ge Ming contracted his third Angel Envoy, a Lower Grade of the Third Order, greatly enhancing his power.

In the industrial park, some factories actually had quite a few survivors, but this time, Ge Ming strictly followed Su Han’s orders, knowing that he couldn’t possibly gather them all with the Zerg, so he left a message and took the Zerg away.

The message contained three points: first was the identity, the troops clearing the monsters were from the Tree Domain Camp, and there was no need to worry after the monsters were cleared.

Second was the prohibition: no one was to go out at will, nor to attack the Zerg; if complied with, there would be mutual peace and safety guaranteed.

Third was the carrot: after the monsters were cleared, the Tree Domain Troops would enter the city soon to reclaim Huiyuan City; no resistance was allowed, and one must bear the consequences of any defiance.

Ge Ming didn’t have any significant contact with survivors, and with every area secured, he released more bug mist as area isolation, preserving only the areas where the survivors were.

In such circumstances, the survivors felt a mix of mystery and unease, daring not act rashly, at least not interfering with the Zerg’s actions, as they didn’t have the power to do so.

Thus, Huiyuan City entered a strange period of calm, where both battles and disputes ceased temporarily due to the Zerg’s presence.

As the battles progressed, deaths among the Zerg were naturally severe, but with the transportation of the bodies of vast numbers of monsters and Zerg back to the base,

under Su Han’s control, the Mother Worm transformed more bug material, built more nests, and then began more large-scale hatching.

After a short-term low in numbers over a day or two, the Zerg’s numbers started to increase significantly, rapidly approaching ten thousand, among them not lacking Second Order units.

With such an alarming number, it only accelerated the clearing speed of Ge Ming and his team. If one looked down on Huiyuan City from above, one could see the bug mist spreading over the entire city at an extremely fast pace.

And just at this time, the fusion progress of the Insectoid Titan reached 100%
