My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 275 The Situation in Lisu County

```

"Let's go check it out; there's something off about this Armed Forces unit."

Yan Tiejun took the initiative to speak out, his face showing a deeper shade of suspicion as he said, "There are no external military camps near South City that I know of, at least. It is very likely that this is a force from a nearby city."

A few of them disembarked from the Mother Worm, and Su Han asked, "Do you know the specific unit number of the nearby Armed Forces?"

"Linshui City has an Armed Forces unit, the 117th Regiment of the Second Division of the Fourth Legion of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force. I don't know the exact equipment, but I came to know it through a work-related coincidence."

As just a director of the Armed Forces office, Yan Tiejun had limited information. Su Han understood this, acknowledging that the Armed Forces were always strict with military discipline and their arrangements were not meant to be disclosed publicly.

"Let's go over and take a look first."

The Tree Domain warriors had begun to clear the surrounding area, deploying the Ancient Tree Crystal, and a large amount of fog was being dispersed.

Parked in the rest area parking lot were abandoned cars and disorderly barricades that caught the eye.

And among these chaotic items, a dark green military vehicle stood out sharply. Although it was full of scratches, it was obviously a relatively "new" vehicle and had been reinforced.

The Tree Domain warriors stood next to the military vehicle and reported, "The vehicle still has gasoline, it's damaged, but the core isn't, and it can still be driven."

As soon as the soldier finished reporting, Zhao Yaqian's eyes narrowed, "Everyone be on alert."

Her eyes gleamed with a faint purple light as she immediately entered the state of the Spiritual World, sending her psychokinetic power sweeping through the entire service area building. Soon, she opened her eyes: "In the bathroom, come with me."

Zhao Yaqian picked her people and rushed to the bathroom, swiftly moving as the Summon Apostle arrived by her side mid-step.

A team of Tree Domain soldiers quickly followed her into the service area building.

"Bang"

The moment they burst in, gunfire echoed, and Zhao Yaqian snorted coldly. Her telekinetic blade instantly sliced through the air, deflecting the bullets.

"Roar"

With a swift glance, Zhao Yaqian spotted the attacker behind a wall near the end of the hall by the bathroom.

The Shadow Devouring Demon charged over, bullets attacking it incessantly but to no effect.

"How can it be this strong?!"

The shooter looked terrible, the Book of Blood Spirit on his hands lighting up as two Angels Envoys appeared in front of him, growling as they charged at the Shadow Devouring Demon.

"You guys go, I'll cover..."

"Squad leader!"

The three soldiers dressed in military uniforms beside him wanted to summon their own Apostles to assist, but in the next moment, they found themselves frozen in place.

Zhao Yaqian's voice rang out in their minds, ice-cold: "Move again, and you all die."

A sharp telekinetic blade swept by their side, and their uniforms immediately gained several sharp cuts.

"We surrender!"

Click

They threw their guns on the ground, the four of them looking terribly uncomfortable. The leading man with the dark face said, "We just wanted to give a warning, we didn't actually intend to hurt you."

"Hmph"

Zhao Yaqian simply snorted coldly and scanned the four men, recognizing them as the people she was looking for by their Armed Forces uniforms.

"Swoosh"

The Shadow Devouring Demon toppled the two Second-Rank Apostles, its tentacles instantly shooting out and binding the men.

"Wait... hold on, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Yaqian stated flatly, "Someone is going to ask you questions."

She definitely knew the first bullet had deviated from her body, but that did not prevent her from taking decisive action.

Soon, Su Han and the others arrived in the hall, and he waved his hand, instructing the common Tree Domain warriors to leave.

The man shrank with the sight of Su Han and the others, as he had not expected a young person to lead so many.

"Old Yan, it's up to you," said Su Han upon seeing the four men's attire, confirming Yan Tiejun's earlier speculation, thus assigning him to inquire.

Wearing camouflage himself, Yan Tiejun adopted his usual stern expression and moved forward.

"Report your unit number and name," he demanded. Continue reading on empire

The lead man instinctively straightened up but caught himself, "Are you with the Armed Forces too?"

"The South City Armed Forces Office Director, Yan Tiejun," he responded firmly, his gaze hardening. "Soldier, report your information; you only get one chance."

The dark-faced man was about to excuse himself as a misunderstanding, but seeing Yan Tiejun's demeanor, he realized the situation might be different than he had thought.

"117th Regiment Special Combat Team squad leader Sun Hu, resting here temporarily while on a mission," he replied.

Yan Tiejun's gaze sharpened as he spoke, "What mission, and isn't your 117th Regiment supposed to be in Linshui City?"

Sun Hu frowned and immediately answered, "Sir, that's against the regulations; the mission is classified, and I..."

"This is the apocalypse," Yan Tiejun cut in with an oppressive glare. "The only enemies of the Armed Forces and humanity are the monsters. Don't give me that classified crap. Your squad isn't even at full strength; what exactly happened?"

Sun Hu fell silent. When Yan Tiejun mentioned the apocalypse and bore down with his commanding presence, he realized that the situation was extraordinary.

Not speaking would have its price.

Even if Yan Tiejun was with, or used to be an officer of, the Armed Forces, things were different now.

To minimize casualties in his team and gather more useful information, some draconian measures were seemingly inevitable.

"We were on a scouting mission, setting out as a small team to learn about the surrounding cities and towns, to scavenge resources for the 117th Regiment, and to prepare for recapturing strongholds."

"How many are in a squad, and was South City your target for this exploration?"
