My Monster Fuses Everything

Zhu Xiong pondered and said, "Let's not talk about the Heshan Steel Transfer Center for now, it's just located outside the North District of the city within the Third Ring area, and this oil depot is only a bit further than that transfer center. Before we took over the North District, it was normal to develop the Qingbei Grain Depot along with it.

Is it convenient for the South City encampment to come over now?"

Gan Xinglei suddenly realized and muttered, "They're quite decisive."

Whether it's the oil depot or steel transit center, both hold resources on a scale not inferior to the Qingbei Grain Depot. The difficulty lies not just in the assault, but more so in transportation.

The initial stage of securing the Qingbei Grain Depot, despite being fully armed for transport, was disrupted by numerous monster attacks along the way, and the whole process took several days to complete.

Now, monsters have generally become stronger, significantly increasing the difficulty of escorting supplies, not to mention the complexity of transporting gasoline and steel.

One is exceptionally volatile, and the other excessively heavy; ordinary trucks can't carry much of either.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Moreover, the North District is almost considered the Tree Domain's territory. Does South City really expect to come and go freely without embarrassment?

Therefore, after trading the information on the layout of South City's steel industry, casually throwing in the oil depot that was originally agreed upon for joint development became an easy push with the flow.

In three days of early-to-late labor, towering walls have been erected in this suburban area. Standing ten meters tall, they rise from the land, seamlessly integrated, as solid as a single rock with plenty of interlaced steel reinforcements, their strength immense. Even spiritual energy bombs couldn't deal any significant damage.

This entire stretch of the wall, three meters wide, extends out almost two kilometers. One side faces the suburban buildings of the North District, and the other side looks out to the wilderness fog beyond the city.

During the three days Zhu Xiong was on guard, he cleared away monsters along the route, which by now has been nearly swept clean.

The wall has become a solid support behind them, with a rough transportation road already visible. As long as they protect the other side and erect a simple isolation wall, it will meet the needs for transportation.

With the initial transportation route plan ready, Zhu Xiong was preparing to head to the Steel Transit Center to collect supplies.

He found Gan Xinglei and asked, "Old Gan, how many trucks has your wife's transportation team sorted out?"

"Fifty heavy trucks, each with a load capacity of around fifty tons," Gan Xinglei replied. He was well aware of the plan and had put a lot of thought into these preparations. He also said, "There are also twenty tanker trucks with additional fuel tanks installed."

"That's enough. We'll scout the route today, and tomorrow we'll have the reserves handle the transport, not the transportation team."

The transportation team was a civilian transport unit formed later on, consisting of both Contractors and non-Contractors. As the encampment's population grew and production order became more complex, relying solely on reserves to handle transport duties was clearly insufficient and would slow down training progress.

Thus, Yan Meiyu took the initiative to form a new transport team, separating the transportation and logistics functions, dividing secure transportation within and outside the encampment.

But this time, although the transport channel had been cleared, it was still a region rampant with monsters, and the transportation team alone wouldn't be up to the task.

"Okay, how many people should we bring?"

"Fifty for scouting, let the rest stand guard and clear the transportation route. At places like Hong'an Intersection, Xi Zhoukou... let's build walls, and once we transport the materials, we'll enclose this area and thoroughly cleanse it."

The two agreed on the plan and then delegated the guarding and clearing tasks to their respective deputies.

Zhao Yimin, Xia Ning, and others had all broken through to Second-order Intermediate with the help of injections and strength-enhancing potions, so they could be relied on to execute the missions.

After discussing, the two directly picked a team of skilled individuals, all riding fully armored Vine Giant Rats, and hurried to the destination.

The sound of hooves echoed in the streets. Occasionally monsters would suddenly burst out, but Gan Xinglei simply raised his hand, and a spiritual energy bullet formed and shot out, shattering the monster.

"Still, your spiritual energy bullets are better, making less noise."

As they hurried along, neither paid much attention to the slain monsters. Zhu Xiong looked envious.

Gan Xinglei lifted the corner of his mouth, saying, "It's still not skilled enough. If I increase the power, it will explode just the same."

"At least it's quieter than a spiritual energy rifle," Zhu Xiong murmured. Although the spiritual energy rifles were powerful, they were also loud. They were fine for battles within the city, but for outings like this, especially in uncontrolled areas, they were generally not the first choice, unless the exploration objective was completed or the situation seemed off.

"We can use it during the big clean-up. Right now, production is fast. In a while, most people will be fully equipped, but metal consumption will increase significantly. Bullets are consumables, so the Steel Transit Center must be taken."

While chatting, the team quickly crossed the streets and soon approached the Shanhe Steel Transshipment Center.

The so-called Shanhe Steel Transshipment Center was located in the North District's suburbs, near the railway. Bulk metal was transported here via the railway, unloaded nearby, and then dealt in large quantities, distributed to various steel businesses and distributors.

There were a couple of steel trade markets within the entire South City area, along with companies in need of steel as a raw material for fine processing, and numerous mid to large-sized hardware and steel stores, totaling to several hundred.

However, most stores had only a portion of their steel stock on-site, with more kept here. During bulk trading, it would be directly transported from here to reduce transportation costs.

As such, the Steel Transit Center was very large and covered a wide area, with its surroundings extremely open.
