Chapter 45 Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food

A gunshot rang out, and the huge golden eagle fell to the ground with a wingspan of nearly seven meters, and the giant bird that flew out like a myth died quietly after the bullet pierced the skull. After losing its leader, the various birds behind it collapsed in their original swarm attack, and they flew indiscriminately, and soon died under the random guns.

On the third day of the release of the avian influenza virus, under the fourth wave of raids today, the Type 88 sniper rifle in Zhang Xiaohai's hand has already harvested no less than ten lives. The tens of thousands of small and medium-sized birds have almost disappeared, and the large birds that come to attack frequently every day also appear to be sluggish and unable to fly. Every day, the convoy will steadily march towards the center of the Phoenix Forest. The three roads on the periphery have expanded into a huge plain, the original forests have been cut down, and if this battle continues, it will not take ten days for the Phoenix Forest to completely disappear from the map.

The gunfire stopped, and all the fighters began to check the remaining ammunition. Handlers in protective suits on heavy vehicles got out of the vehicle and began to approach the pile of bird carcasses to process what was needed for collection.

"Doesn't this seem as difficult as the legend suggests? If it were to be replaced, we would have gone in one go. ”

Advancing to the camp, Xu Jierui was still stiff-mouthed. Mason Hua patted the guy on the shoulder, "Warrior, don't say kill or not, why don't we go out and roll in the pile of bird carcasses now?" ”

Xu Jierui left this guy at that time, and thanked him. It has been explained before that although the probability of avian flu infecting humans is not very high, if anyone who doesn't know what to do has to feel it, the avian flu virus released this time is a "power-enhanced version" carefully prepared by Masonhua, and there may be many things in it. In the past three days, six buddies have been dealt with on the medical van. Two of them are still lying down.

"Don't talk nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that small and medium-sized birds were basically unable to participate in the war, this battle would not have been fought so happily. Several doctors must have contributed to this battle. ”

Before Ren Yu's peace was over, Huang Minglong began to shake his head, "Don't be busy showing your merits yet." What we're about to do is not yet done. ”

With a bang, a bright white metal ingot was thrown onto the table.

Nearly one-fifth of the entire Phoenix Forest was cleared, and countless bird's nests were dug up. I don't know how many trees were destroyed. However, a total of three metal ingots were found in the pile of miscellaneous things that had been cleared out of this area. In total, it weighs less than twenty kilograms.

"All I can say is that if we only have these things, we will lose out for now." Huang Minglong didn't have the slightest politeness at all, "This thing is not enough at all." ”

There are almost no people who understand the usefulness of rhenium metal, everyone looked at each other, and the eldest sister stretched out her head and pressed it, "What can you do now?" ”

"Fix one or two power armors, or do three or five coats." After all, there were outsiders present, and Huang Minglong was vague.

"How much do you think is enough?" Huang Minglong thought for a while, "If it's really a storage warehouse." According to current storage estimates, it may only be a few hundred kilograms. ”

Everyone showed a look of disappointment, even if they knew that rhenium was very precious, but only this amount would not have enough meaning for the current new Chang'an and the team.

"Well, even so, don't forget, we still have a lot of genetic material in our hands. There are still gains, but there is just a difference between more and less. Zhang Yunde got up and came out to play the round, "It's late at night, and it's time to go back and rest." ”

The eldest sister sat with her head and didn't move. The others exchanged a few words of greetings, all of them left the conference room first, Zhang Yunde accompanied a few people from the team back and turned back, and in the temporary conference room at this moment, Huang Minglong, Ren Yu, Mei Senhua, Sun Ling and a group of people all turned back. Zhang Yunde smiled, "Now there are only your own people left, Lao Huang, you can open up." ”

"Judging from the information collected in the Phoenix Forest, we are afraid that we have greatly underestimated the number of possible harvests we have, and the value." Huang Minglong's words raised everyone's appetite.

Judging from the harvest that has been received in the entire Phoenix Forest now, it is true that there is very little rhenium metal, but the other harvests are extremely rich. The size of the nests created by a large number of enlarged birds has also skyrocketed, and the materials they use to build the nests have also become more colorful, and both the convoy and the new Chang'an have found a large number of steel parts and metal objects that have become part of the nest, and for others, the value of these things may only be directly used or reused to make steel. If it is handed over to Huang Minglong, it will be separated after the laboratory sorting. These things turn into all kinds of high-quality steels or materials. For most people, this stuff is quite a lot of material. But in Huang Minglong's eyes, this thing has even greater value.

Canning boxes, gasoline drums, machine tool shafts, turning tools, Huang Minglong has people send in all kinds of parts. This is not uncommon in the wasteland. In the eyes of everyone looking at each other, Huang Minglong pointed to the white paint mark on the soil on something.

"From what I got now, I can conclude that this thing must be a warehouse facility sealed by the military back then, and the magnitude and secret level of the sealing are quite high."

Several people in the conference room looked at each other, as if they couldn't understand the excitement in Huang Minglong's words. "How can you be sure it's the military?"

Huang Minglong kicked the barrel under his feet, "Barrels of dimethicone, most of the maintenance and lubricating oil for rifled weapons from machine guns to pistols. It is useless to save it except for the military. ”

Ren Yu pinched his chin, "So we might get a lot of weapons?" ”

Huang Minglong glanced at Ren Yu, it was a waste of time to talk to someone who didn't know how to do it. "Even the lowest-level mothballed warehouses will have more than five-digit guns, and if they are more advanced, there will be things sealed inside." Huang Minglong stretched out his hand and pointed out, "These broken tanks and power armor in our hands are vulnerable." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, but Huang Minglong's words didn't stop, "There is rhenium metal in this place, and it is definitely not a simple low-level warehouse. And according to the things that I have obtained now, there are enough production equipment and resources in them, and I have roughly estimated them. ”

Huang Minglong raised his head and glanced at the glasses of everyone around him, "With the current Xi'an City, it will not be a problem to rebuild ten. Steel, food, gunpowder, heavy machinery, medical equipment, feeding 800,000 people, 1 million people, it's not a problem. ”

Everyone stopped breathing for a moment. Everyone's eyes were secretly communicating, thinking about the next move, imagining the possibility of action.

Mason was the first to hold back. Stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, "I'll go and scatter my little baby in the camp over there immediately, and promise that if there is a mistake, I will not let go, I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than escape one!" ”
