"It seems to be a bit of a miscalculation. Even if we concentrate our forces for an assault at this time, we may not be able to advance to the food factory before dark. Moreover, there is a huge group of corpses numbering no less than 6,000 in the food factory, so we must fight a tough battle. .....”
Zhao Xuan collected over 10,000 ordinary crystal cores from the eight army commanders and made a mental calculation.
"Each unit works steadily and advances slowly. Push wherever you can before dark." Zhao Xuan immediately issued the latest order.
The Eighth Army immediately slowed down its advance, focusing on safety.
There were basically no casualties since then.
When it was dark and the troops were withdrawing, the team as a whole advanced to a place about six kilometers away from the 'Zhengxing' food factory.
The number of ordinary crystal cores in Zhao Xuan's hand has returned to the level of 20,000.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan led his troops here and began to advance again.
At this time, the number of mercenary groups following the army reached almost 10,000. Because the large amount of harvest brought back by the small number of mercenaries who followed the army yesterday made other mercenaries red-eyed.
"City Lord, we worked hard to clear out most of the zombies, but they are here to take advantage of it. Isn't this a bit..." Before the war started, the deputy commander of the Eighth Army and the new superpower Diao Xiu He gave his opinion to the mercenaries behind him.
"It doesn't matter. As the absolute strength of Yunling City, we only need to be able to get back bulk supplies. Most of the things those mercenaries get back have to go to the city lord's mansion to submit tasks, and the things are all in our Yunling City. And how many of them The zombies in the corridor have been cleared. This not only exercises their combat capabilities, but also rescues as many survivors as possible. This is a good thing." Zhao Xuan said with a smile.
After a large number of survivors poured into Yunling City yesterday, Yunling City did not abandon the mercenary mission to pick up survivors. It also increased the reward for picking up a survivor from two kilograms of food to five kilograms. This has not reduced the interest of various mercenary groups in rescuing people at all.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Eighth Army of Yunling City finally advanced to the 'Zhengxing' Food Factory.
Zhao Xuan had more than 20,000 ordinary crystal cores in his hands, and he also opened up a relatively safe area outside Yunling City that was five kilometers wide and sixteen or seventeen kilometers long.
The mercenary team following the large army continued to transport back mountains of living supplies, and also rescued at least 3,000 trapped survivors who had reached the last moment.
After receiving these daily supplies, the city government immediately distributed them to 240,000 workers in 14 districts in the outer city, initially meeting the needs of 240,000 people for keeping warm at night.
After receiving the mission rewards, each mercenary group is almost planning to exchange the power crystal core from the city lord's mansion, and then try to take on missions that require combat under the leadership of their own power users.
The virtuous cycle that Zhao Xuan expected was slowly established.
"Boss, how do you deal with so many zombies in the factory?" Zhang Xiaocai said eagerly from a high place, looking at the large group of more than 6,000 zombies in the food factory.
After experiencing many battles, Zhang Xiaocai is no longer afraid of fighting against large groups of corpses.
"In order to minimize our casualties, we must still ambush and lure them. Xiaocai, you don't want to charge directly, right? With our current strong strength, it is not impossible to charge directly, but the casualties will be very considerable. "Zhao Xuan said with a half-smile.
"Oh, boss, you misunderstood me. What I meant is how to set up an ambush?" Zhang Xiaocai said anxiously.
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry. I'm just joking with you." Zhao Xuan quickly comforted him.
Next, Zhao Xuan chose a relatively open place to set up an ambush.
Yesterday, when the rescue mission to the central safety zone was completed and the reward was settled, Zhao Xuan exchanged a few superpower crystal cores with the 122nd Division for some military explosives.
Zhao Xuan took out a small amount at this time and blew up a tall building without any regrets.
Of course, before blowing up the building, Zhao Xuan asked the mercenaries who followed him to remove all available supplies from the building.
After the tall building fell down, Zhao Xuan took full advantage of the large number of people and asked all the soldiers to work together. Using bricks, earth and stones, they quickly built a simple earthen wall maze with sufficient length, width and height. Then he went out to lure the monsters in person.
Most of the zombies immediately swarmed after Zhao Xuan, and then were slowed down by the maze of earth walls. Small groups and small groups rushed in.
The further the zombies move forward, the more dispersed their formation becomes.
Soon, the zombies in the front row had touched the edge of the earth wall.
"Kill!" Zhao Xuan immediately ordered.
The simple killing of zombies by large forces starts immediately.
This killing was not difficult. Only ten super zombies among the zombies appeared and caused some casualties to the team, and then the energy crystal cores of those ten super zombies quickly became the provident fund of Yunling City.
The battle ended after only an hour. The large army of Yunling City immediately entered the factory with a fleet of fifty heavy trucks to obtain the main supplies. Ten thousand mercenaries entered the living area to snipe at the zombies in the corridors and grab supplies in the living area to rescue them. people.
50 heavy trucks went on four rounds and brought back more than 2,000 tons of grain and more than 1,000 tons of various packaged foods, as well as some items that Yunling City could use, such as generators and various food processing machinery.
A dozen heavy trucks and dozens of other vehicles parked in the food factory were also towed away by heavy trucks.
Ten thousand mercenaries had previously searched for no fewer than forty heavy trucks and hundreds of other types of vehicles in other places. The mercenaries pushed the vehicles back to Yunling City with their bare hands.
They are prepared to pay a certain price to remodel the vehicle to increase the mobility and carrying capacity of their team.
"It seems that the machinery industry will soon become a popular industry in Yunling City, and the status of fuel will also be greatly improved. Should we search for fuel this afternoon, or capture the next grain and oil wholesale market?" On the way back, Zhao Xuan looked at the servant The soldiers pushed the advancing vehicle hard, and new thoughts came to their minds.
Coincidentally, when Zhao Xuan shifted his focus to fuel, in Yanyu Town, southeast of Yunhai City, Yue Jingcheng, the leader of the Longcheng Gang, came up with the idea of a large-scale fuel reserve in the Southeast Petrochemical Plant.
Southeast Petrochemical Plant is located on the seaside more than 40 kilometers south of Yanyu Town. It is a very large petrochemical plant. It is mainly responsible for the fuel supply of Yunhai City and some cities and counties surrounding Yunhai City.
Like Yunling City, the Longcheng Gang developed mechanical vehicles and mechanical equipment modifications, and was full of desire for precious fuel.
"Gang leader, according to the intelligence we have found, the hundreds of thousands of zombies entrenched in the petrochemical plant are not easy to deal with. Preliminary estimates indicate that there will be no less than a hundred supernatural zombies in that group of zombies. The leader of the zombie group It seems that they have a certain amount of wisdom and are generally not easily fooled. The most important thing is that the zombies there have been preying on sea animals that come ashore, and they evolve very quickly without lack of nutrients. At present, less than half of the ordinary zombies have evolved to the second level. ..."
In the Longcheng Gang meeting hall, someone reported to Yue Jingcheng with a heavy expression.
Yue Jingcheng, who was sitting at the top, looked increasingly serious.
