"I basically agree with what Dandan said, of course it is imperative to expand the strength, but I don't think you can rush it, blind expansion will also bring a lot of problems, steady and steady is the best policy, and Brother Hao, we have just expanded the team of evolutionaries once, if the number of evolutionaries is increased on a large scale again, the number of good and bad personnel is not necessarily a good thing." Yun Lei said.

As soon as the discussion began, the two of them began a needle-to-needle argument with Mai Mang.

"If we are afraid that the quality of our team is not high, we can go to other cities to introduce talents, we want ordinary people, not evolutionaries, I think, the city that has a good relationship with us should not dare to refuse our request, what do you say, Cloud City Lord? For example, Haotian City, you have a good relationship with Qiu Mei, and it shouldn't be a problem to communicate with her in private, right? Tang Dandan smiled and shot at Yun Lei.

Fang Hao intercepted the conversation and said: "Dandan's idea is good, but it doesn't necessarily have to recruit people from Haotian City, it can also recruit a lot of people from other cities, just like Hongdu City where I went this time, I want to ask him for a few hundred people, and City Lord Bi will definitely agree." ”

"It's just ......" Fang Hao said again: "It's just that the time is not too ripe at the moment, our base is now crowded enough, and it's not too late for me to expand the city after a while, and then expand the army." ”

Yun Lei said: "I think that now our city is strong enough, and the city defense is sharp enough, even if the mutant beast attacks, we are enough to deal with it, so I think the mutant beast matter cannot shake our established strategy, but we must also have full psychological preparation." ”

In fact, Fang Hao came to the two of them, so that they could be mentally prepared, make plans early, and wait until the beast herd attacked on a large scale, so that they would not be in a hurry.

The city defense of the base and Loulan City is indeed enough, especially the base, and it is no longer meaningful to increase the number of cannons.

"It's better to do this, I'm going to build some more turrets in Loulan City and the outer circle of the base, within the range of the cannon, as a supplement and extension of the city's fire prevention power, what do you think?"

"Okay! It works! Tang Dandan and Yun Lei agreed.

This matter was something that Fang Hao had wanted to do for a long time, adding some automatic turrets as peripheral fortifications a few kilometers away from the city and base, so as to share the pressure of the main city, and give them heavy damage when the corpses and beasts had not yet approached the city, which would greatly reduce the intensity of their siege.

"Brother Hao, I think the speed of our army expansion is still too slow, I think that if we want to have more influence on the surrounding cities and have an absolute advantage over zombies, we must have a larger army, especially now that we have armored troops, this matter is even more urgent, in my opinion, we must also have at least a large army of 10,000 people......" Tang Dandan is still insisting on his own ideas.

Fang Hao sighed secretly in his heart, he also wanted to do this, but the problem was that he was a little powerless now.

The larger the team, the more weapons and ammunition he needs to make, but he can't keep up with the pace of manufacturing now.

"I will consider this matter, and our troops will be expanded in the future, but it is not yet time." Fang Hao said.

Tang Dandan felt a deep sense of frustration, and Fang Hao's words seriously hit her enthusiasm.

Yun Lei knew what Tang Dandan was thinking, and she smiled: "Dandan, do you think Brother Hao doesn't want to increase our strength?" But Brother Hao is not an immortal, he is not omnipotent, won't he have his own difficulties? ”

Yun Lei's words suddenly woke Tang Dandan up, and she felt a panic in her heart.

That's right, she always thought that Fang Hao was omnipotent, but even if she was an immortal, she was beyond her power, and she was indeed a little too compelling today.

Sure enough, husband and wife are husband and wife, or Yun Lei knows Fang Hao better, and she, as an outsider, to Fang Hao, sometimes, is like a familiar stranger.

"Brother Hao, I'm sorry, I said a little too much today, I hope you will be considerate of the inappropriateness." Tang Dandan immediately turned around.

If she doesn't turn around again, she will really be like those people below, everyone in the base thinks that Fang Hao is a god, and treats Fang Hao as an omnipotent immortal, and she Tang Dandanruo also thinks like those people below, she really lives up to Fang Hao's cultivation and expectations for her.

In this three-person meeting, Fang Hao borrowed Yun Lei's mouth to let Tang Dandan temporarily put away his edge, which can be regarded as a small gain.

For a long time in the future, Tang Dandan didn't force Fang Hao to take a big step forward, she became much more honest, and she was calculating every day how to maximize the resources at hand.

Although Tang Dandan is slightly inferior to Yun Lei in governing the city, he has also made the base impressive, the morale is high, the combat effectiveness is improving steadily, and everything is in order.

Fang Hao, on the other hand, set about building turrets outside the city.

Loulan City needed to build twenty towers, each thirty meters high, each with two cannons and two machine gun turrets, one of which was equipped with armor-piercing shells, and the other with high-explosive shells, using different shells depending on the target.

Due to the small size of the base, he only built ten towers, each with the same firepower configuration as the towers outside Loulan City, also two giant guns and two machine gun turrets.

The greatest task of the task was not to install the turret, but to build a tower, a tower thirty meters high, with a base of fifteen meters by fifteen meters and a maximum of ten meters by ten meters, and it took him seven nights to complete the task.

When these towers were erected outside the city one by one, both the soldiers and civilians of Loulan City and the soldiers of the base were all overjoyed, and every additional cannon meant that their survival was guaranteed by another layer.

As soon as the tower was built, Yun Lei came to the base to find Fang Hao again.

"Brother Hao, just now a group of people poured into Loulan City, and I heard what they said, eight hundred miles away from us, someone found that tenth-level giant beast." Yun Lei's face was worried, and Fang Hao said.

"Eight hundred miles away? It came so fast! Fang Hao was surprised.

"Yes, I heard that it destroyed three small cities along the way, and according to the location of these three small cities, this giant beast should want to enter the hinterland of the continent."

The hinterland of the continent is very vast, and no one knows where it wants to go, maybe it will really pass through Loulan City.

"You came to tell me about this, did you want me to make a plan earlier?" Fang Hao asked.

"Yes, during this time, you should minimize the time you spend outside and stay at the base." Yun Lei knew that Fang Hao often played missing, so she gave Fang Hao a wake-up call.

"Okay, I got it, I know what to do."

In order to cope with the upcoming fierce war, Fang Hao did not even dare to return to the earth, he stayed at the base every day, manufacturing weapons and ammunition day and night, due to the lack of steel, he sometimes went to the mines in the north of the city to mine some iron ore and came back for emergency.

A few days later, Fang Hao went to Loulan City to visit Yun Lei, but he didn't expect bad news to come again.

The bad news this time was sent by Qiu Mei of Haotian City to inform Yun Lei.

"Haotian City got a piece of information the day before yesterday, in the northeast of the mainland, a giant beast was also found, this giant beast was even more crazy, it swept seven or eight cities in a row, countless human casualties, the entire northeast region was in a panic, many people were fleeing in the southern direction, and Haotian City also received thousands of refugees."

Before, giant beasts were discovered in the southwest, and now giant beasts have been found in the northeast, and it seems that the situation is getting worse and worse.

Yun Lei continued: "Haotian City hopes that we can sell them some more giant cannons, but they don't have many crystal nuclei now, so they hope to owe some credit, you see......"

Fang Hao said: "I don't have too many giant cannons on hand now, so let's give them ten giant cannons first, as for the crystal nucleus, it doesn't matter if I give it later, however, you can tell Haotian City, if you find a relatively powerful mutant beast, I hope they can notify me first, and I can also make some extra money." ”

The crystal nucleus spent on buying the giant cannon was far less than the crystal nucleus in the body of the high-level mutant beasts, as long as it was not a level ten giant beast, Fang Hao could easily kill them, these mutant beasts were terrifying existences to others, but to Fang Hao, they were all golden crystal nuclei.

"That's no problem, I can use the name of Loulan City to spread the news, as long as I find a high-level mutant beast, let them notify us."

Wealth and danger are sought, the more troubled the times, the easier it is to get rich, Fang Hao really hopes in his heart that the more mutant beasts there are, the better.

Maybe even the heavens will help him, and soon, his opportunity to earn the crystal nucleus will come.

This morning, as soon as Fang Hao got up, a subordinate hurriedly came to report: "Brother Hao, it's not good!" A strange beast was spotted outside the base, apparently a mutant beast. ”

When Fang Hao heard this, he immediately came to his senses: "Take me to see it immediately." ”

He went to the top of the city, took the telescope and looked to the southwest, and sure enough, it was indeed a mutant beast.

It was a wolf-like and dog-like mutant beast, with a very large physique, three points larger than a cow, and was obviously not an ordinary beast.

However, Fang Hao only glanced at it twice, and then he was disappointed, this was just a fourth-level mutant beast, even if he killed it, he couldn't see it at all.

But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and he was just about to give the order to shoot it with a cannon, when suddenly he changed his mind and said, "Leave it alone, just watch its movements." ”

Through the performance of the mutant beast in Hongdu City, Fang Hao faintly felt that the mutant beast was likely to like to act in a group, this mutant beast should be a scout-like guy, if it was not killed, maybe it would attract more mutant beasts.

He just thought about it casually, and as for whether it was really the case, he wasn't too sure.

Regardless of whether this mutant beast was a precursor to a herd attacking the city, but the appearance of a mutant beast near the base was a matter of great importance, so Fang Hao still sent someone to notify Yun Lei and asked her to take precautions as soon as possible.

"Brother Hao, this mutant beast ran to the west of the base, and we can't see it anymore."

"Brother Hao, the mutant beast ran in the direction of Loulan City!"

"Brother Hao, it's running back again!"

After most of the day, the mutant beast disappeared after several circles around the neighborhood.

When night fell, when Fang Hao was resting, he ordered all troops in the base to be vigilant and send twice as many people to patrol the city wall to strictly prevent the attack of mutant beasts.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Fang Hao was woken up by Zitong.

"Brother Hao, the beasts are coming!"

When reporting to Fang Hao, Zitong's face was not only not panicked, on the contrary, she also looked excited, as if she was eager for the beasts to attack the city.

She knew Fang Hao's thoughts, and she also knew that Fang Hao liked the crystal nucleus the most, and when the beast herd attacked, it was equivalent to sending the crystal nucleus to Fang Hao.

"How many herds are there?" Fang Hao asked as he got dressed.

"There are more than 200 of them!" Zitong Road.

Fang Hao was shocked, this was too different from what he expected!

He originally thought that there were dozens of mutant beasts in Hongdu City, and the scale was not small, and his base was so small, even if there was a herd of beasts attacking, twenty or thirty would be in the sky, how did he know that there were more than two hundred!

This herd really looks up to his small base.

"How far are they from base?"

"It's only a dozen kilometers, and it's already within the range of the artillery, just wait for Brother Hao's order."

Fang Hao said: "Don't fire the cannon yet, wait for me to see the situation." ”

If you fire too early and scare the herd away, you'll lose a lot.

Now that they're here, don't even think about leaving.

Fang Hao had just ascended to the top of the city, and before he could see it too clearly, he suddenly saw Yun Lei appear in the base and was walking towards the city wall.

Waiting for Yun Lei to climb the city wall, Fang Hao asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?" ”

Yun Lei came from the underground passage, with only two attendants with her, and it seemed that she came in a hurry.

Yun Lei said: "A mutant beast was found outside the city today, I thought their target was Loulan City, but just now through observation, I found out that their target turned out to be your base, I thought it was strange, so I came to take a look." ”

Fang Hao was also curious: "Yes, there are so many mutant beasts in my small base at once, I'm quite puzzled." ”

Yun Lei suddenly asked: "In Hongdu City that day, did your tank troops wipe out the beasts there?" ”

"What are you asking for?"

"Did you kill them all?"

Fang Hao thought about it carefully, he really didn't care about this matter, after the mutated black bear was killed that day, he didn't pay attention to the later battle situation anymore, whether he missed one or two, he really didn't know.

He frowned slightly and said, "You mean, such a large herd of beasts, they are here to seek revenge on me?" ”

Yun Lei nodded slightly: "Yes, otherwise, with such a small number of people in your base, is it worth coming to so many mutant beasts?" ”

"Uh...... You seem to have some truth in what you say. Fang Hao laughed.

Yun Lei said angrily: "Then you are still laughing!" It's a good thing to be targeted by them, isn't it? ”

Although there are only more than two hundred of these mutant beasts, they are not zombies, the strength of these guys is all very strong, if the base does not have these giant cannons, if there is no Fang Hao in charge, even if there are three or five, it will be an unprecedented disaster for the entire base, not to mention that more than two hundred will come at once.
