Chapter 232 Tree Domain Transformation
"Old Xia, what are you planning to exchange your contribution for?"
At the Tree Domain Camp, outside the Government Affairs Building, within a queue of people, a young man patted the shoulder of a man in his fifties standing in front of him. Your adventure continues at empire
Turning around, Xia Dongshan grinned. Although he was in his fifties, his appearance didn't seem that old thanks to the Contractor's enhancement.
"Stab Injection. I'm planning to transfer to the City Defense Legion."
Xia Dongshan's reply made Zhao Wen pause, "The search team accumulates contribution value the fastest, and you are almost at the First Order Upper Grade."
"I know, but the search team is quite dangerous, right? What is there for an old guy like me to compete for? I'll save the remaining contribution to exchange for enhancers for my son. If he gets in, please take extra care of him."
Zhao Wen was initially stunned but then immediately nodded, "That's no problem, although the Tree Domain isn't actually that dangerous."
The two continued talking while queuing, and nearly everyone in front and behind them was a soldier from the Tree Domain like themselves.
After the entire Third Ring area in the northern part of the city was taken over, the cleanup teams naturally underwent some rotation. Some still assisted the border defenses, especially at the construction sites of roads. The walls were not fully repaired yet, so withdrawing was out of the question.
Others started to rotate out for rest or to exchange items, improving their strength as much as possible.
The former city defense teams, now the patrol squads, began patrols in the Third Ring in batches, further cleaning up any possible lingering monsters.
Outside the Government Affairs Building, vine giant rats came and went, some carrying baskets transporting simple tools and goods.
Others were dragging carts as big as coaches, carrying either large rocks or heavier goods like food.
On the streets, busy people were not in short supply.
Some were agriculture and livestock personnel dealing with flowerbeds and tree pits. After basic preparation, suitable plants or crops were planted to utilize the land as much as possible.
Meanwhile, some tree pits were intentionally left empty, serving as passages for tree-born worms.
Another group was the cleaning team, under the command of Yan Meiyu, and it was certainly the largest group.
They handled the most miscellaneous tasks: collecting useful materials, cleaning battlefields, and more. They appeared everywhere.
They were responsible for collecting all usable materials and organizing them for storage. That was their duty.
If the search teams conducted a rough search of each area, focusing on key materials like weapons and medications, then the cleaning team's goal was to gather all useful materials inside every house while also cleaning up potential sources of decay and disease.
Many discoveries of equipment were credited to them.
Besides the cleaning teams, livestock squads were also searching for suitable locations in the newly incorporated Second and Third Ring areas to expand their breeding operations.
As the camp expanded, the number and types of evolved animals were increasing. The original numbers of tough-skinned rabbits and four-horned sheep had already exceeded a hundred. Moreover, during the expansion and trade process, they had acquired species like the bone-horned giant bull, which were also slowly being bred.
The entire Tree Domain Camp was operating rapidly, bustling with a vitality reminiscent of life after calamity.
Following this great disaster, the Tree Domain and Su Han had provided everyone with a safe haven.
Whether they were Contractors desiring to grow stronger or people yearning for a normal life, all were willing to work extremely hard to develop this place.
This was the main reason for the rapid changes in the Tree Domain Camp.
Su Han did not personally inquire into many matters. In the eyes of many, this powerful leader was almost mythical.
After the meeting had ended, Su Han did indeed not show himself around the various parts of the Tree Domain but instead dived straight into the underground prison beneath the Tree Domain Camp.
The so-called underground prison was no longer the previous underground garage, but a monster prison buried more than thirty meters underground, formed from rock and soil.
The structure was similar to the previous prison, consisting mostly of hard rock and soil, with the cage bars made of special alloys.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The entire prison was roughly the size of ten football fields and was about seven to eight meters high; without the Black Rock Tree Monster, it absolutely couldn't have been created.
All the monsters previously detained in the Tree Domain had now been transferred here, where Su Han had been spending his days.
Among densely spread vines and roots, Su Han walked past one cage after another, using Metal Control to open the cages, and then faced the rushing monsters, raising his hand to unleash a Spirit Melding Vortex, taking control of them immediately.
The terrifying suction of the Spirit Melding rapidly extracted the monsters' Spiritual Energy, then obliterated their bodies, and finally confined their souls, turning them into bubbles in his Sea of Consciousness, slowly being devoured completely.
"Physical strength is almost at third Grade Superior."
Su Han had devoured another Second-grade Monster, and a slight sense of fullness made him stop his Spirit Melding.
Today he had reached his limit with Spirit Melding. To devour more, he would have to wait until tomorrow to digest some.
Since obtaining his Talent, he had never stopped Spirit Melding, although he mostly kept it a secret.
This was also why he turned the underground garage where monsters were detained into this extensive underground prison and tightened control over personnel access, primarily managed by the Nine-Snake Mother Tree vines.
The more he kept his Talent hidden, the more cards he held in his hand.
Although he had already taken control of the northern district, he never felt he could be complacent. What was third Order?
The monster that appeared on the first day, with a posture akin to that of a deity, still instilled fear in him.
If he wanted to survive this apocalypse, to live longer, third Order was far from enough, so he was still constantly seeking to become stronger.
He regularly used bodily enhancement potions and continued devouring with his Spirit Meld Talent. At this point, just his physical strength alone was akin to a Third Grade Superior, like a humanoid monster.
In a matter of days, both the Scorpion Spider Demon and the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon had completed their fusion.
The Scorpion Spider Demon LV9's normal metal fusion was complete, consuming up to 100,000 tons of metal, with the quantity becoming increasingly terrifying.
However, the consumption also had its gains: LV2 Metal Controller, LV3 Floating Pagoda Black Armor, and LV2 Metal Erosion.
On the side of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon, a large amount of blood and flesh merged, also raising the Blood Spring to level 5, along with LV3 Evil Crocodile Prison.
The number of Evil Crocodiles surged to 5000, the black water expanse akin to a lake, violent and vast, capable of now condensing Second Order individuals.
It could be said that the group combat capability of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon had been significantly enhanced, making a one-man army a practical reality.
The Nine-Snake Mother Tree required even more flesh, but it was also slowly advancing, with Fusion projected to succeed in these few days.
As usual, Su Han exited the prison, only to see Zhu Xiong waiting outside.
"Old Zhu, something up?"
"We're running out of gasoline, the oil depot matter needs to be moved up the schedule, and I'm about to break through."
What do you think?
