Chapter 461 - Combat Readiness
At six o'clock in the morning of the eleventh day, Qiu Yu had just opened his eyes and saw all kinds of information sent by Harperm.
A lot of this information was completely blocked not long ago, but at this time, there was no longer anything that Qiu Yu couldn't see.
A total of twenty-seven shelters were built in the city. In yesterday's attack, six shelters were completely destroyed. Eight were invaded by zombies and suffered a blow that shook the foundation. Eleven shelters responded in a timely manner, and the damage was relatively minor, but this slight was only for supplies and non-combatants.
There are two remaining Vaults that have barely suffered damage, one is the Vault Ten that Aki Yu has warned about, and the other is Vault 1, which is surrounded by several Vaults, and you need to pass through the surrounding Vaults to get in and out. It is the largest and most well-equipped refuge in the city, where the real elite and elite are located.
According to the current provisional statistics, the strength of all the Vaults totaled three regiments, and eight wings were lost in the farmland area. Six of them were from nearby shelters, and two were brought in by subway from other shelters. The only confirmed survivors of these eight wings are the eight squadrons in Qiu Yu's hands, and only one percent of them survive.
In yesterday's zombie raid, a total of seven wings were lost, including the successfully defended shelter. In addition, two wings that were on secret missions were also completely lost, and they could only be considered to have been eliminated.
In just one day, the army lost 17 wings, more than half of which were casualties. Except for Vault No. 1 and two complete wings, the actual combat effectiveness of all the troops is less than forty percent.
Compared to the thirteen wings that can still be put together, the loss of the wing captain is even more staggering, and only nine are still alive. Naturally, the co-captain of Vault Ten was not among the nine men. In fact, not to mention the co-captain, there is not even a captain left here, so Qiu Yu is already the supreme military commander of this refuge, and it can also be said that he is the highest real power here.
Unless he takes the initiative to do something anti-human, even the people of Vault 1 will never run out to deny his identity at this time.
In fact, under Harperm's hard work, Vault One packaged him as a hero in order to stabilize people's hearts and Qiu Yu's heart. and appointed the rank of Wing Commander. Of course, it was impossible for the troops to replenish him, but he was allowed to carry out the recruitment of personnel at the wing level on his own.
In this difficult period when it is difficult to meet everyone, it is not necessary to think about making up a team of more than 10,000 people, but the authority of the wing commander should be able to do a lot more.
It only took a few seconds for Qiu Yu to use the perceptual spread to see all the information sent by Harperm, and then went straight to the quartermaster's office. For normal weapons, the troops have a special place to replenish them, but those unlocked laser rifles can only be obtained in this place for the time being.
In front of the wing commander, it was no longer possible for the quartermaster to ask for any military merit points. After receiving Qiu Yu's order, he immediately sent out more than thirty laser rifles.
For those soldiers who can already distinguish the difference between future weapons and ordinary weapons, Qiu Yu doesn't need to worry about it. Once they get their hands on the laser rifles, they are naturally assigned to the ones who can best use the power of these weapons.
Next, Qiu Yu came to the opposite side of the quartermaster office and found Qiguang Country, who had come to the repair shop early because he had received a notice.
Qiguangguo was just told that the military was looking for him, and after thinking about it, he only felt that the army that had just lost the battle had a lot of weapons to repair, and he was having a headache and would exhaust himself to death with the workload in the future. After seeing Qiu Yu, he looked like he had seen a savior, and he didn't wait for Qiu Yu to speak, so he shouted first.
"Oh, little brother is fine! I heard at noon the day before yesterday that the agricultural base was attacked by zombies, and I was still worried about you, but then I didn't see you when I waited for half a day on the subway, and I thought you were sacrificed. When the hell did you come back? Could it be that he was saved by the troops who came back yesterday? ”
Qiguangguo was not a high-ranking person in the shelter, and he was not a member of the military, so he was not notified to participate in yesterday's greeting event. And Qiu Yu's clothes have broken several times, and now he is only wearing the civilian clothes sent by Harperm in the morning. Therefore, Qiguangguo could not imagine at all that the person in front of him was not the one who was saved, but the one who saved people.
"yes, I came back yesterday. I'm going to see you in bed. "Since Qiguangguo knew that he couldn't come back the day before yesterday, even if he didn't really go to the subway and so on, he did care about himself. Whatever the motives, such a person is not an annoyance.
"It's good to be back. We are all people who have gone through the ghost gate, and it is a great luck to be able to meet each other alive. Alas, don't talk about that. Originally, I thought that I would have to work here for a long time, but I didn't expect the army to be able to hold out so quickly. I don't know how long I can live in the future, and I don't have to do such things as repairing electrical appliances. But don't worry about the work, I estimate that all kinds of weapons and equipment in the military still need to be repaired, with your foundation, follow me to learn for a few days to get started, in fact, those backward weapons are much easier than repairing electrical appliances. Belch...... Why do I say that weapons are backward? No matter, in short, there will be military bigwigs here in a while. Don't mess around, just wait here with me, it's a chance to get in touch with each other......"
It seemed that he couldn't finish his words for a while, and Qiu Yu interrupted, "Do you want to do something more meaningful than repairing things?" ”
Qiguangguo was stunned, "I don't want to." I think it's safer to fix things. ”
As soon as he saw his expression, Qiu Yu knew what he was thinking, "It's not that you want to go out and cut zombies." ”
"What's that?"
Qiu Yu Zhengse said, "If you just stay here passively, it will take three or five days to be fast, and seven or eight days to be slow, and you will really enter the ghost gate." Only with more advanced weapons and equipment can we have the capital to continue to live. ”
"What, three, five, seven, eight days? Not so fast, right? Wait......" Qiguang Guo muttered, suddenly realizing what he should be focusing on, "You said more advanced weapons and equipment!" Probably want to go to a military factory, right? Do you want me to lead the way? ”
Seeing Qiu Yu's affirmative nod, Qiguangguo grabbed him, and after carefully looking out of the house, he lowered his voice and said nervously, "I said brother, I've been helping you all along, don't hurt me." You want me to take someone to the military factory! Tens of thousands of troops outside have been killed by zombies! Can I still survive this time? Don't say that again. If the army hears about it, they really think this is a way out, maybe they will have to tie me up! ”
Qiu Yu was thinking about the following wording when a soldier with the rank of squadron leader walked straight from a distance.
Qiguangguo, who had been looking outside, became more and more nervous after seeing this scene, "The army is coming, don't talk nonsense, no, don't talk." ”
Qiguangguo tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face, but the soldiers who came in didn't even look at him, and directly saluted Qiu Yu.
"Report to the Wing Commander, all combat readiness has been completed."
It took a few seconds for Qiguangguo to understand this sentence. In the end, he had to accept the reality, looked at Qiu Yu with a pale face, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Qiu Yu sighed, "Anyway, that's the way it is. ”
