[Insectoid Titan LV10 Normal Metal Fusion successful, acquired skill advancement: LV3 Metal Controller, acquired skill: Metal Explosion]

While Ge Ming led the insect horde to cleanse Huiyuan City, Su Han continuously ordered the Insectoid Titan to transform Iron Slave Monsters through Metal Erosion. Additionally, knowing Su Han was collecting metal, the insect horde’s engineer bugs also exerted effort, delivering scrapped cars they found during the sweep to Su Han.

In just a few days, the amount of meta collected had reached two to three hundred thousand tons.

The pile of metal looked immense, but for the Insectoid Titan, it was nothing special.

You must know, its Normal Metal Fusion had already reached LV9, and now it had fused up to LV10; a few hundred thousand tons of metal were just barely enough.

So, after fusing for several days, the fusion was finally complete.

As the fusion completed, the aura of the Insectoid Titan climbed step by step, the long accumulation burst forth, elevating it directly from Fourth Rank Lower Class to Fourth-order Intermediate.

The surrounding metal moved accordingly, changing shapes, floating around like raindrops, spinning nonstop.

With the advancement of the Metal Controller’s level, its control over metal, both in range and intensity, had grown even stronger, making it more flexible and effortless in battle.

What thrilled Su Han even more was the skill Metal Explosion; the injection of special Spiritual Energy caused the metal structure to become unbalanced, thus triggering explosions comparable to large-scale bombs.

The power of this explosion varied with the strength of the metal and the amount of Spiritual Energy injected into it, releasing different levels of force.

If discussed separately, Metal Explosion was simply a variant of a bomb, but with the coordination of the Metal Controller, the Insectoid Titan could unleash a downpour of explosions.

“Its capability for mass destruction has grown significantly stronger.”

Excitement flashed in Su Han’s eyes; facing an increasingly monstrous number of monsters, each additional ability for mass killing could potentially have miraculous effects on alleviating the situation, and who knows whether it could be a single ‘nuclear bomb’ or a scattered ‘missile’ if it was highly condensed and infused with a large amount of Spiritual Energy?

Mobile Camp, Armored Camp Base

After being repelled by Su Han and taking a brief rest for a day to ensure no major issues with personnel, having gathered some vehicles to use as troop carriers, Zhou Shan Ying and Chen Da didn’t hesitate at all; they took the several hundred survivors they had saved during this period and directly left Huiyuan City.

As a regular army, the Armed Forces not only competed for resources but also rescued survivors, undoubtedly holding a higher moral standard compared to the typical Survivors’ Camp.

However, they were deficient in transforming their military system; in quickly recapturing Linshui City nearby, they could be described as swift and fierce, but when it came to intercity combat, resource supply, and overpowering strength, they were lacking.

Even though Su Han had driven them away this time, even without Su Han, just in the industrial park alone, there were at least three Third Order Monsters and tens of thousands of regular monsters; the sheer number and complex terrain were enough to trouble them greatly.

You must know, their two camps had only five to six thousand people; with ammunition supply not being continuous, the risk involved in attacking was still significant.

Even if they might have successfully taken it over, the losses would have been difficult to estimate, and with other camps coveting their position, they could very well have had their efforts exploited by others.

Recognizing this reality, they naturally left Huiyuan City without further ado.

Without the slow speed of tanks to hold them back, the speed at which the entire group withdrew was much faster than when they had arrived.

In just one day, they had reached the vicinity of Linshui City.

Large fields covered both sides of the road, fields connected by paths; amidst the fields, at intervals, stood tall metal poles, the base of each wrapped in concrete, roughly twenty meters in height, with Lamp Tree Crystals placed at the top.

The entire area was enveloped in a faint yellow light, with figures faintly visible working in the fields, but there were more Angel Envoys working, while Contractors stood at the edges of the fields.

This was the outer periphery of Linshui City; cultivating enough fields was essential to feed nearly two hundred thousand rescued people.

Therefore, besides developing the city’s internal fields, farming had also become a major focus in Linshui City.

These fields didn’t have much in the way of protective measures, or rather, the outermost fields didn’t have much defense because they themselves were part of the defensive structures.

Exchanging illumination for defense time, the Lamp Tree Crystals providing light for the fields were primarily set up for the sake of Linshui City itself.

As the troops approached closer, their movement attracted more attention; passing through the farm area, what came into view were ditches, cheval de frise, each about five meters wide and seven to eight meters deep, with steel-reinforced spikes at the bottom of the pits, and single-sided cheval de frise set across the pits.

Such defenses spanned a distance of nearly two hundred meters with seven or eight lines, and at some places, there were traces of poured gasoline and kerosene; if any monsters managed to reach here, they would be baptized by endless fire.

And after the last line of defense, was the wall of Linshui City.

The wall was about four meters high, the width estimated to not exceed two meters, made of concrete and stone, very new in appearance, with quite a few workers visible still constructing it, and at various places on the wall, heavy firearms like machine guns, mortars, and a large number of Armed Forces soldiers were positioned.
