My Monster Fuses Everything

"General Liu," Zhu Xiong stepped forward to greet Liu Rulong. Although they had not met in person, they had contacted each other through the Spiritual World before coming. Liu Rulong was dressed in camouflage military uniform, his gaze sharp, and he stood straight. By his side stood two middle-aged young generals, which piqued Zhu Xiong's curiosity. "Captain Zhu, you have all worked hard this time." Liu Rulong stepped forward, and Zhu Xiong grinned, saying, "We help each other, General Liu, no need for formalities. Who are these two?" Given that Liu Rulong had personally brought them, they were naturally not minor figures, and both exuded a strong aura, seemingly possessing Fourth Grade capabilities. "Zhou Xichao and Kou Wenji, commanders of the 12th and 41st Naval Groups, respectively. They completed their breakthrough using Fourth Rank Lower Class Sea Beast Gene potions just five days ago." The two men saluted Zhu Xiong, their gaze just as determined, both hardened by the Armed Forces. You should know, those breeding nests hadn't been officially put to use five days ago; the pain of injecting Sea Beast genes to achieve a breakthrough was significant. "This is Ye Kailing, commander of the Sky Cavalry, Zhao Yaqian, Deputy Commander of the City Defense Corps, and this is Bai Shan, Qilan's father and an important researcher of ours." Zhu Xiong introduced the group of four to Liu Rulong, paused for a moment, and then said, "As for these three giants, they are our Breeding Armor Heaven Generals." Liu Rulong's eyes flickered; he had noticed the three Breeding Armor Heaven Generals as soon as Zhu Xiong and his team had controlled them to cross the Bug Quality Rift and emerge from it; his attention had not shifted away since. The so-called Breeding Armor Heaven Generals, he had certainly heard of them, born from the plan of the old man Ouyang Qing's Flesh Giant Spirit. Made of steel bones, living flesh, and a core of Spiritual Energy minerals, they formed a controllable, mass-produced combat force, comparable to psychic exoskeletons. However, he felt a life-like Spiritual Fluctuation from the three Breeding Armor Heaven Generals before him, and they possessed combat power no less than Fourth Grade. Liu Rulong's perception was not wrong; in the continuous research and upgrades at the Tree Domain Research Center, the Breeding Armor Heaven Generals had incorporated more Bug Race bloodline technologies. They were more vigorously alive, and with the added energy link from the Star Torch Tree infused into their bones and blood, their power had greatly increased. In terms of Psychic Fluctuations, there was also an indescribable change, adding a touch of spirit. "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me. Let's rest briefly in East Sea City. I've already ordered the reconnaissance forces to begin exploring the situation in Haibo Town, and soon we'll have preliminary reports." Liu Rulong led Zhu Xiong and others into a military off-road vehicle and then drove from the Worm Nest Territory towards the outskirts. Along the way, Zhu Xiong noticed that the Worm Nest Territory was beginning to take shape; special measures had been taken on both sides of the road: digging down the flat ground to make concave slots for Bug Quality storage, trying to prevent the Bug Quality from spreading out and blocking the roads. Old buildings and skyscrapers were also being modified to better serve as structures for Bug Quality accumulation and attachment for Worm Nests. On the roads, the Armed Forces marched back and forth managing the region, while on some roads, the insect troops like Engineer Bugs, Scorpion Bugs, and Knife Bugs moved rapidly along set routes, continuously transporting large amounts of flesh and transporting Bug Quality. Among these people, Zhu Xiong also saw many warriors who had undergone Heteromorphic Transformation; they were key in commanding and guiding the insect troops. Liu Rulong noticed Zhu Xiong's gaze. Sitting in the passenger seat, he explained, "The construction of the Worm Nest Territory has been a focal point of the East Sea base. Although it's been a short time, we have already gradually built seven Worm Nests. Insect troops like Engineer Bugs and Scorpion Bugs now number around five thousand. The insect warriors are mainly made from our Armed Forces' wounded veterans; currently, there are about one thousand of them, all strong veterans." "At this rate, it won't take more than a week for the number of insect troops to exceed ten thousand, and we should be able to gradually breed Third-Order Bug Race." Zhu Xiong and his team were already quite familiar with the use of insect troops, especially their terrifying reproduction rate; as long as resources were sufficient, they could breed in large numbers. Although the Tree Domain had recently gone through a new round of conscription and expansion, with the number of warriors in the three main legions and two special corps exceeding 300,000, the area occupied by the Tree Domain covered six cities and fifteen towns, and the boundary was still expanding outward from the city. Even if the 300,000-strong force was fully committed, they couldn't completely clear the surrounding areas. Thus, aside from targeted monster group cleanups, more often insect troops were deployed to clear mutant kind monsters and control the population of the Evolved Kind. "A force of ten thousand insects is not enough." Liu Rulong spoke with concern. Zhu Xiong looked up slightly at Liu Rulong ahead, "Is the situation at the East Sea base that severe?" Liu Rulong didn't hide anything, saying, "Currently, the East Sea base is centered around East Sea City, Fumen City, and Jiankang City, forming a triangular defensive position. Behind these positions are seven counties and towns, totaling two million survivors. Although it's a significant number, the hills to the east and southeast persistently suffer heavy attacks from Sea Beasts and Vine Demons extensively, constantly eroding the frontlines." He paused slightly, then added, "People die on the frontline every day, but we can't retreat a single step. If we do, there would be no defenses to hold them back. The monsters could surge straight in, entering the plain's heartland. At that point, our pace of recovering cities would be utterly outmatched by their rate of expansion. Frankly, if it weren't for our control over nuclear weapons and the factual territorial conflicts between Sea Beasts and Vine Demons, we might not have been able to hold them off."
