My Monster Fuses Everything

Bai Qiuwen, armed with his own learning and a lifetime of experience, told Li Ruikang: "There will only be one Su Han. On the path of evolution, he will go further than anyone else."

Returning to the original topic, Li Ruikang said, "The closest to us is the Southwest Military Preparedness Force. Their main base is stationed near Wushan. Once they react, they will surely immediately reclaim Wushan City, which has the largest population, the best defensive terrain, and numerous fortifications.

They may be able to complete the recovery in about seven days, and that's just in the initial seven days."

"How many are there in total in the Southwest Military Preparedness Force?"

"There are four corps in total, about 200,000 people. Wushan itself should be two divisions, roughly 40,000 people. However, if they can quickly call in other divisions, such as those from Tang City, then the number will be even greater. As for weapons, they are fully equipped; you can expect they have most of what you're thinking of. Whether they have nuclear bombs, I don't know."

Yan Tiejun spoke seriously, yet his eyes showed complexity. As an Armed Forces officer, divulging this information to others was a crime.

But in this apocalyptic world, human lives were paramount. If Su Han could save South City, all must be told.

"Wushan is key. After taking Wushan, Tang City and Sanjiang City will inevitably be targeted. There will be large-scale contact with other bases, connecting the entire Southwest Military Preparedness Force. That's why I can't be sure to what extent they have integrated now."

Su Han looked puzzled: "What's in Tang City and Sanjiang City?"

"Tang City specializes in military industry, heavy industry, scientists, and weapons. It's a place that the Armed Forces must retain. Moreover, there are many hills and plains around it which will be necessary for resuming production. As for Sanjiang City, Tianjiang Dam is right there.

It can generate power, and without taking control of this water source, if powerful monsters were to emerge, the whole of Wushan would be in trouble."

Li Ruikang explained this to Su Han. However, the clearer the explanation, the more apparent it became that the Armed Forces in Wushan were an enormous entity, so long as no accidents occurred.

He couldn't help but remark with emotion, "We really can't underestimate our Armed Forces. So, according to your deductions, will these six major urban circles all stabilize based on the Armed Forces?"

"Only five are relatively certain."

Li Ruikang and Yan Tiejun exchanged glances, then pointed to the East Sea: "The cities along the East Sea are coastal cities, mostly with a naval presence. We don't know whether the monsters from the sea won or the Eastern Military Preparedness Force did. It's very likely that they will be forced to retreat inland, and we don't know to which location they will settle."

The ocean.

Looking at the azure area on the map, Su Han couldn't help but think that the greatest battlefield was within the sea.

The conversation between the three men lasted a long time. They speculated on possible bases and surviving cities, both strong and weak, and provided reasoning for each.

Underneath the fog of war, every piece of information was especially crucial. Although Li Ruikang and Yan Tiejun had never personally ventured outside to explore through the fog,

they deduced possibilities through their knowledge of military bases, key scientific research, or especially important cities, which offered Su Han some direction for expansion.

"There are three cities within a 200-kilometer radius of South City: Huiyuan, Hengchuan, and Shanjiang. If we explore the surrounding towns and villages, these three cities are the closest. However, their defensive forces aren't much different from ours; whether they can hold out through the second wave is uncertain.

Huiyuan City has a lot of heavy industry, Hengchuan has mines, and Shanjiang, being near water, could provide direct access to Wushan if the waterways are navigable."

Analyzing the areas around South City, Li Ruikang advised with greater detail. At that moment, everyone's intent was to support South City. Venturing out would expand South City and also save more compatriots.

"We could consider it, but we need to first take over the surrounding villages and towns of South City and come up with a mature plan for moving to and rescuing people in other places. It's dangerous to move too far too rashly."

"Of course."

Li Ruikang nodded, but hesitated slightly before adding another word of caution: "Besides that, we should also be wary of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force."

Yan Tiejun stared at Li Ruikang with wide eyes: "Old Li, what do you mean?!"

Su Han was also somewhat surprised, frowning slightly: "Are you worried about conflict?"
