"Finally gone!"
Zhao Yu wiped the sweat from his head, "It's really dangerous!"
Just now he was the closest to death. He had soldiers and guns but no bullets.
Fortunately, Meng Xian was fooled by him!
"No, we must expand our manpower!"
Zhao Yu felt that with the current manpower, it would be difficult to sustain the situation.
Even if there are no bullets, but others don't know, as long as there are many people and many guns, it will be enough to hold on for a few more days until the day when ammunition can be produced.
Zhao Yu ordered someone to untie the eight conscripts and hurried into the training camp.
After checking the maximum number of conscripts that could be exchanged, he found that he could train up to 23 conscripts now. This was due to the lack of gold and silver.
The most abundant things are copper, iron and tin. Flesh and flesh are also lacking, but there is still a surplus of several hundred kilograms.
[Do you want to spend 23 technology points, 1518 kilograms of flesh and blood, 23 kilograms of cloth, 230 grams of gold, 2300 grams of silver, and 11500 grams of copper to train 23 conscripts? 】
"yes!"
23 technology points were deducted from the training, and Zhao Yu still had 35 points left at the moment. According to his plan, the rewards from daily tasks were used to redeem buildings, which was now equivalent to using future technology points in advance.
"It will take two hours to complete the training..."
After taking a look at the training time, it took 23 soldiers 115 minutes. Zhao Yu turned around and entered the arsenal again.
The things in the arsenal can be exchanged for a lot, and he has no shortage of copper, iron, and tin for the time being.
However, Zhao Yu did not waste it. According to what he had in mind, he first exchanged 23 sets of weapons for 23 mobilization soldiers, including rifles, pistols, spurs, sabers, etc.
In addition to these, Zhao Yu originally planned to exchange nine machine guns and unlock the mortars.
It turned out that the amount of remaining iron was not enough, and it was only enough to exchange for five machine guns with armor.
"Five, just five..."
Although it cannot be exchanged for mortars, machine guns can also be used.
After the exchange, Zhao Yu's resources were almost emptied.
Walking out of the arsenal, I found that many soldiers were a little depressed and had a state of 'hunger' on their heads.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu felt that he was also a little hungry and ordered people to cook.
The food reserves are quite sufficient. Two tons were obtained from the shelter last time. After one day, only more than 30 kilograms were consumed, which was enough to last for a long time.
Half an hour later, the cabbage was boiled in water and served with a bowl of white rice for each person. The soldiers enjoyed the meal.
However, Zhao Yu only found it boring, so he could only take out his food reserves, add a canned meat with a fishy smell to it, mix it with rice, and then he could barely swallow it.
After the meal, all the weapons and equipment in the arsenal were produced, and the training camp was more than halfway progressed, with 11 soldiers coming out.
Zhao Yu summoned all the soldiers under him. There were 25 mobilization soldiers in total. Adding the 12 who were still training, he had 37 mobilization soldiers under him.
The marine infantry and special forces were not lost after several battles. There were 10 infantrymen and 1 special forces.
Counting the 12 people who are training but have not yet come out, he has a total of 48 soldiers under his command.
Zhao Yu ordered 20 mobilization soldiers, organized them into a team, and divided them into four teams, with five people in each team.
"From today on, you are the guards of the base and are responsible for the patrol and garrison work of the base..."
The mobilized soldiers also need to rest, otherwise they will be extremely prone to fatigue, so Zhao Yu divided the duty time of the four teams according to eight hours of rest and 16 hours of work per day.
Basically there are at least three teams patrolling and garrisoning in the base at the same time.
Zhao Yu pointed to the four remaining buildings from the original power plant next to the base and said, "Take two machine guns up and put them in a conspicuous position on the roof..."
Then people were asked to build a one-meter-high sandbag in the other three directions of the base, a hundred meters away, and a machine gun was placed on each sand pile.
In addition, Zhao Yu also circled the patrol area, reaching the original four buildings of the power plant in the east and the machine guns in the sand pile in the other three directions.
It is equivalent to patrolling within a radius of 100 meters with the base as the center.
He didn't want to have to go home and be surrounded by people again. If he did it again, he might not be able to survive.
Of course, both the patrolling guard members and the machine guns were just decorations for other people to see.
Let people know that there are troops and machine guns here, and they are not people to be trifled with.
After doing this, all the conscripts in the training camp came out, and Zhao Yu equipped everyone with weapons and equipment in turn.
At the same time, the noise in the east attracted Zhao Yu's attention, and he climbed up to the roof of the building next door.
It was discovered that Meng Xian's people had already begun to move near the east gate of the power plant.
"So many people?!"
Although I had already guessed that Meng Xian had a lot of people under his command, I didn't expect so many. At a glance, they were all people, at least two to three hundred.
Two to three hundred people may not sound like a lot, but in this apocalyptic environment, it is still a lot.
Especially before, Zhao Yu was complacent that he had 48 soldiers, but now it seems that it is still too few!
In this end of the world, those who can survive are basically young and middle-aged people, and very few are young and old.
This means that as long as these people are given weapons, they can be more or less effective in combat.
Zhao Yu stayed on the top of the building and observed for a while, and found that Meng Xian did not take a step beyond the east gate as agreed before, but arranged the camp beside the walls on the left and right of the east gate.
Soon, Zhao Yu saw three familiar figures, it was his ex-wife Xu Menglan and his two sisters-in-law Xu Xiulan and Xu Sulan.
They were currently building a camp with a few women.
Although they were far away, Zhao Yu could still feel that they seemed to exude happiness.
Zhao Yu's expression became a little complicated. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He finally shook his head, said "Okay", and led people downstairs.
Back at the camp, the sky began to light up in the distance, and it looked like it was morning again.
As before, sleepiness hit him, so Zhao Yu took advantage of it and asked the mobilization soldiers of the guard to continue patrolling, while the others were sent to the base to sleep.
Zhao Yu thought there were quite a lot of rooms in the base before, but after more than 20 soldiers moved in and filled several rooms, he suddenly felt that it was necessary to provide a place for these soldiers to sleep in the future.
In his wild thoughts, Zhao Yu's consciousness gradually faded.
…
"Sister Meng, what do you think they are doing here?!"
Outside the east gate, Xiao Liu, Meng Xian and others did not join in the construction of the camp, but were walking around the camp.
They are part of a fighting team and need to maintain their strength to protect others.
Meng Xian shook her head and said: "I don't know. If those four buildings are opened, maybe we will know..."
"Looking at what Zhao Yu means, it should be some big secret..."
Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sister Meng, are they doing any biochemical research?!"
"This apocalypse, whether it's mutant beasts or radioactive beasts, is said to have been created by companies engaged in genetic technology..."
"Who did you listen to?!" Meng Xian's expression changed, she glanced left and right, and said quickly: "Don't say such nonsense, you don't want your life?!"
Xiaoliu looked panicked and quickly said that he was talking nonsense.
Meng Xian's expression softened slightly and she said, "Xiao Liu, you have to remember that the world is different now from before..."
"Whether it is Luwei Group or Rizhao Group, they are giants that we cannot afford to offend..."
"If their people hear the slightest dissatisfaction, they will give you and our camp an irresistible blow..."
"Yes...Sister Meng, I understand!" Xiao Liu sighed, looking downcast.
Meng Xian was a little worried in her heart. Although Xiaoliu said it unintentionally, there was indeed a rumor among the people that the apocalypse was caused by the joint efforts of several major groups.
If the Rizhao Group is really conducting some biochemical experiments, then it would be a wrong choice for them to move the camp here.
On the side, Hawkeye came a little closer and said, "Sister Meng, what Xiaoliu said is not completely unreasonable. If they really conduct biochemical experiments, we will not be able to bear any leakage..."
"What do you mean?!" Meng Xian turned her head and looked at Hawkeye and asked.
At this stage, the only smart person in the camp is Hawkeye.
It seems that when he took the gene potion, it not only strengthened his eyesight, but also strengthened his brain.
"I mean, you are familiar with Manager Huang of Luwei Group. Can you get some information from him?!"
"Manager Huang..."
Meng Xian frowned. He was a man in his fifties and almost sixty years old.
The reason why he treated her differently was because the old man coveted her beauty. If she hadn't had some strength, he would have been taken in by now.
"Damn it, what did you say?!" Xiao Liu was angry and grabbed Hawkeye's collar, looking like he was going to beat him to death.
"stop!
"Meng Xian immediately stopped Xiao Liu's movements and said, "Apologise to Eagle Eye! "
Xiaoliu's expression froze and his face turned red. After a while, after Meng Xian emphasized again, he reluctantly apologized to Hawkeye.
"It's okay, Xiaoliu cares about you, I understand!"
Hawkeye was very generous, smiled slightly, and said: "Sister Meng, my idea is that you go to Black Rock City. We just have a batch of supplies that can be taken care of in Black Rock City. By the way, we can bring along all the people we have ideas for strengthening. , and we can also take the opportunity to ask Zhao Yu and the others about their purpose of coming here..."
"Um!"
Meng Xian nodded. She had the idea of going to Black Rock City before. If it hadn't been for the migration of mutated beasts and the destruction of the old Meng Family Village, she would have gone a few weeks earlier.
"Sister Meng, I'll go with you. Now I feel that the first-level gene potion is almost digested and can be upgraded to the second level..." Xiaoliu on the side shouted quickly.
Meng Xian frowned slightly, "Second-level genetic enhancement, the risk of death is not low, you..."
"Sister Meng, you are already at the third level. According to you, you have experienced three deaths, and I have only died once. What am I afraid of?!" Xiao Liu looked fearless.
The eagle eye on the side glanced at Xiao Liu with some meaning, smiled and said: "Sister Meng, Xiao Liu is right, he has stayed at the first level for so long, it is time to strengthen to the second level..."
"You are different from me..."
Meng Xian originally wanted to persuade her, but seeing Xiao Liu's firm attitude, she simply agreed.
"Okay, this time you go to Black Rock City with me..."
Soon, the Dongmen camp was set up, and Meng Xian also found the people who were going to Blackstone City this time.
There are eight people in total, three enhancers lead the team, and five ordinary gunmen are responsible for pulling goods.
In addition to Meng Xian and Xiao Liu, there is also a first-level power enhancer named Song Hai who also wants to advance to the second level in Black Rock City.

After briefly explaining what happened after they left, Meng Xian led the people out of the camp.
Black Rock City is to the west of the camp, more than a hundred kilometers away. If you travel at all costs, it will take about three days, and the round trip will take a week.
…
Eight hours later.
The first thing Zhao Yu did when he woke up was to open the task list.
To his relief, the mission this time was not aliens, but to clean up a farm of alien species.
I walked out of the base gate and asked about the situation of the guards. Everything was fine.
The Dongmen camp stayed there obediently, not even taking a step into the power plant gate.
"very good!"
Zhao Yu nodded slightly. It seemed that the scare measures he had taken were effective.
Immediately afterwards, he began to think about how to complete the task.
The biggest problem now is that he has a gun but no bullets. Fortunately, he is dealing with alien species. Even if the number is larger, it is still acceptable.
After all, if it were an alien, even if there was only one, without a gun or bullets, it would be difficult to eliminate it with cold weapons alone.
Zhao Yu came to the arsenal, opened the cold weapons column, and began to check.
There are eighteen kinds of weapons including knives, swords, sticks, etc., but Zhao Yu had focused on the guns before and didn't pay too much attention to these.
But right now, we can only use these cold weapons to make the transition.
Zhao Yu looked through the list of cold weapons, constantly simulating combat situations with alien cold weapons in his mind, and finally conceived several combat plans.
Engineer shovels, steel cables, black-tasseled guns, shields, and other things that he had never seen before were exchanged for a lot by Zhao Yu.
Then, he called together 28 people except the guards and distributed various cold weapons.
After bringing some spare food, I left the camp with 28 people.
