Chapter 940: Diligence Produces Performance
On September 20th, the UEF's vanguard army officially landed in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, intending to take these three places as a gift for the centennial anniversary of the catastrophe.
The Pioneer Army's Marines are not very many, but more aircraft, a kind of ducted aircraft that replaced helicopters and attack aircraft as the main air-to-ground firepower platform, and they methodically slaughtered the zombies visible in the field of vision at the right altitude.
On the ground, there is a specially placed corpse trap, which comes from the technical department of S.H.I.E.L.D., which attracts zombies by emitting odors, pheromones, infrasound waves and other methods, so that a large number of zombies are exposed to the open area and is easy to clean.
Thanks to UEF's preparations, this official landing of the Vanguard was a massacre. In less than 6 hours, more than 10 million zombies were killed in the three places.
At the end of this wave of operations, it ended in a fire, and so far, zombies are still a very good fuel, once they are burned, they can be completely burned out, and there is not much ash. So cremation is an easy aftercare option.
On this day, Zhao Wenrui tasted the bitter taste of several days of layout.
The Touching Zombie Army is coming, and several streams are converging, coming from the northeast, together with the zombies in the nearby area, the number is almost 2000.
The wooden walls and wooden guard towers in the eastern salient failed to withstand the destruction and basically fell completely. Half of the iron ore mines that were built had to be abandoned.
If you choose to give up, you can also recover part of the investment, if it is hard to support, and after being destroyed by zombies, it will be built on the basis of damage, which will not only increase the difficulty of construction, but also extend the time, and you will have to add a repair fee, and you will lose more money over and over again.
Thanks to the solid masonry defense at the edge of the eastern forest, they were able to withstand the deep advance of this wave of attacks.
Ignoring the fatigue of the soldiers, Zhao Wenrui sent them out overnight to launch a sweep in the eastern and northeastern regions.
With the passage of time, Zhao Wenrui has mastered more tricks.
For example, he knew that the soldiers were trained to stand and rest, so he used this characteristic in the process of clearing and planned to let them rest in shifts.
When they were almost rested, the soldiers in front of them also gathered a certain number of zombies, just in time to use the circle tactic to annihilate them.
This tactic has now been used by Zhao Wenrui relatively purely, and the corpse hunting ranch is empty, which is very suitable for the play of this tactic.
So on the afternoon of the 22nd, within the scope demarcated by the system, all the zombies in the east and northeast were cleared.
Coupled with the southeast that was done before, it can be said that more than half of the zombies in the area of the corpse hunting ranch have been cleared.
Although the loss on the 20th was not small, Zhao Wenrui did not lose his courage because of this, on the contrary, he made a very bold decision, that is, in the east, southeast, and northeast directions, staking land, building a long wall, and determining the final boundary line of the future Qingcao Town.
In order to achieve this goal, he did business with the kingdom and sold almost everything he could in exchange for sufficient resources.
And the bulk of this transaction is organic fertilizer.
The original appearance of organic fertilizer is the remains of zombies.
In terms of resources, the biggest reliance of the Obonning Kingdom is coal and iron ore, and everything else is basically lacking, and organic fertilizer was born in this context.
Over the years, the killing of zombies has never stopped, and it is specifically done by criminals who have committed serious crimes.
Exiled from the kingdom for the rest of their lives, they made organic fertilizer, including hunting, in exchange for necessary supplies, and even earned a share of money to support their families.
It is in this way that the zombies around Auboning City have remained at a relatively small level, and no large corpse tide has been brewed.
This time, Zhao Wenrui even promised to get organic fertilizer that he might get in the future, and got the materials he wanted in the form of credit to build a long wall defense line.
This line of defense is segmented, with a total length of more than 13 kilometers, and its main role is to isolate wandering zombies.
Wandering zombies are the most unstable factor faced on a daily basis, and if they exist in an area, and without effective countermeasures, there is no way to produce with confidence.
Zhao Wenrui's big move with a strong gambling nature this time was also a choice that he was forced to make.
Although the Corpse Hunting Ranch is large, the scope of Qingcao Town is very narrow, which has seriously restricted its development. If he can't get out, then the end result is likely to be a nest here.
In this operation, the biggest gambling point is that the next wave of fishing zombies will not focus on these three directions. Only in this way will he have relatively ample time to further stabilize the long wall.
On the 24th, the fish-touching zombies came again, and fate was still taking care of Zhao Wenrui, this time the zombies were more scattered, and there were small groups of fish-touching zombies in the northeast, north, northwest, west, southwest, and south.
In the end, it was the West's defense line that rejected horses and trapped pits. Because the fish-touching zombies from the north finally chose to go around from the west when they faced the blockage of the dense forest.
Although the fish-touching zombies from the south chose to go around from the east, they were the same as the ones in the north, they first touched the dense forest, and then wrapped around the outer edge of the territory, so that they were far away from the southeast long wall, and they finally faced the eastern masonry defense line and were annihilated.
The fish-touching zombies from the northeast drove straight in because the long wall had not yet been repaired there.
Then he was successfully led by Zhao Wenrui to lead the rangers, circled in the open space, and finally perished before the eastern masonry defense line, but there was a time difference with the south, so the intensity of the battle on the defense line was not high, and a small number of soldiers solved the problem.
The success of this wave of zombie invasion not only allowed the longwall project to develop unharmed, but also allowed Zhao Wenrui to see the characteristics of zombie invasions in this area.
It can be said that there is no large, relatively concentrated zombie community in this area, so that a catastrophic zombie wave will break out in one direction.
Instead, in the way of hundreds of rivers and seas, small batches and multiple shares are committed, the amount is not large, but the frequency is relatively high.
To put it bluntly, this is a team-level wandering zombie doing something.
In this context, Qingcao Town is like the bottom of the sinkhole, the closer to the bottom of the pit, the easier it is for the small groups of fish-touching zombies from all sides to gather into a large group, on the contrary, they only need to face a small group of fish-touching zombies.
Therefore, the secret of fighting zombies in the corpse hunting ranch lies in the vigilance limit and the use of patrols.
The wider the alert limit, the better the patrol is used, and the less threatening it is.
Of course, the premise is to wipe out the zombies in the area.
With this in mind, Zhao Wenrui suspended the longwall plan that was halfway through the construction and changed it to the laying plan of the Tesla Tower.
Tesla Tower is an important way to provide visible visibility.
Without Tesla Tower, or other facilities or soldiers that provide visibility, the area, even if explored, has changed from a state of war darkness to a static fog state, which means that it is known what is there, but it is not clear what is now.
Tesla Tower needs to be maintained by permanent personnel, and its own defensive barrier value is not high enough to be easily destroyed, so Zhao Wenrui ordered people to set up a wooden wall around Tesla Tower, which is regarded as adding a layer of armor shell.
There is even a watchtower nearby. This watchtower is generally not stationed, once the Tesla tower is attacked, the patrol team can be assigned to clear according to the specific situation, if the zombie turns around to attack the soldier responsible for the clearance, then the soldier can hide in the watchtower, use the protection of the watchtower, to ensure the output of firepower.
In this way, only a few soldiers are needed, and it is enough to annihilate a dozen, if not dozens of zombies, before Tesla Tower is destroyed.
I have to say that after the dispersion of combat power, Zhao Wenrui's command pressure increased, but the effect was very good.
On September 27th, there were fish and zombies to attack, except for the confluence of zombies in the west, southwest and northwest, crashed into the pit and was slaughtered, the rest of the directions, did not become any climate, was kited by the patrol all the way, constantly attrition, and attacked the nearby Tesla Tower after a rage, and also died quickly, causing little damage.
On September 30, the 31st day of Zhao Wenrui's visit to the corpse hunting ranch, all the zombies were cleared within the boundaries of the systematically demarcated corpse hunting ranch.
Zhao Wenrui once again received a hidden reward, but the freshness of the reward content was seriously insufficient.
First of all, it is 2 points of freedom, Zhao Wenrui did not hesitate to continue to add to intelligence, now multi-line command has become the norm for him, the characteristics of the corpse hunting ranch, the demand for this aspect is quite high, so he is very pressured, after spending 2 points of freedom to buy 1 point of intelligence, multi-line command, he obviously feels a lot more handy.
Then there's the pro-guard bonus, this time 4 assault infantry.
Zhao Wenrui thinks this reward is okay, after all, every place he goes, he basically starts construction from scratch, and ordinary soldiers who want to land quickly need expensive conditions, only personal guards, which are basically no price.
And the pro-guard veterans start, can continue to upgrade, get stronger and stronger, with this kind of strong veterans, whether it is clearing or patrolling in the early stage, it is very practical.
And then there's the aura, last time it was an uplifting aura, this time it's a critical aura, and the radius is also 100 meters, and the affected soldiers have a 5% chance of overplaying and hitting a critical hit.
The probability is a little low, but the critical damage is eye-catching, 300%, below the mad corpse, one shot kills, if this is a large-scale battle, the effectiveness is considerable.
Since the climate of this era is somewhat similar to the Earth's Xiaoice period, after entering October, which is equivalent to the temperature of December at the beginning of the 21st century, the weather is already very cold, often the north wind howls, and the snow falls.
However, the corpse hunting ranch has ushered in a period of rapid development.
This is not only because Zhao Wenrui has freed up his hand to build, but also because the kingdom is also making efforts.
Many people have already determined at this time that Qingcao Town should be stable, but they know that Qingcao Town is still inseparable from Kleven Zhao and his troops, but their investment confidence has suddenly risen a lot.
As a result, a large number of loans were placed in front of Zhao Wenrui to choose from, including private loans.
Zhao Wenrui was not polite, after borrowing money in exchange for resources, he engaged in construction, it only took a week, he made up for all the shortcomings, and the 4 barracks sent troops, not only all the rangers in the battle of Zangjin Valley landed, but the assault infantry also came from behind, with more than 100 numbers.
With 120 rangers, 120 assault infantry, more than half of the veterans, and 8 elite guards, Zhao Wenrui felt a little strong for the first time.
Of course, dispersing these combat forces to the various combat positions in the corpse hunting ranch is still extremely thin. The pioneer general who fought with the zombies here back then had more than ten times the number of troops, but he was still convicted by the zombies, and now even the ruins have been demolished.
But Zhao Wenrui is not very panicked, his ordinary combat power is not comparable to his professional corpse hunters, and he will not make the mistake of the pit bottom effect, and he will not let the zombies complete the merger in this area, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
Even, in order to promote more soldiers to veterans, Zhao Wenrui planned to launch an out-of-bounds operation to further eliminate zombies.
In general, the out-of-bounds operation went quite well.
But also educated.
A clean-up team encountered special mourning, muscle tyrants and spitters, although in the end no soldiers died, only a few were injured, but it also made Zhao Wenrui realize once again that the line drawn by the system is reasonable.
It is not impossible to fight across the line, but we must be mentally prepared to withstand the vain increase in the enemy's combat power. Including the zombies that came to commit the crime, there are special funerals. Zhao Wenrui weighed it and gave up frequent cross-line operations.
From the small to the big, once the zombie masses are mixed with a certain number of special mourning, the difficulty of confrontation can be said to be a hierarchical increase, and if there is no obvious defense or combat power improvement on his side, it is better not to be too greedy and too prodigal.
Another important reason why he gave up the challenge of crossing the line was that he tasted the sweetness of an undamaged victory.
The victory without damage has given the entire kingdom confidence in him, and they are willing to invest more in order to make more profits.
And by mastering a far more than ordinary amount of capital, he can quickly implement various projects and achieve strategic goals.
He thinks it's a win-win.
In comparison, killing a few more zombies and promoting a few more veterans in a unit of time is a bit unmentionable.
On October 9, the population recognized by the Qingcao Town system officially exceeded the 3,000 mark, and the actual population was more than 4,600.
Zhao Wenrui could have achieved the goal at a faster speed, but he could suppress the speed, raise all the main indicators to a matching level, and achieve a balance without obvious shortcomings.
And those investors, naturally, also get a good reward, even those who operate poorly, almost in less than a month, they earn 50% of the remuneration. This kind of efficiency makes money make many people regret that they failed to see the situation early and entered the market too late, or regret that they were not bold enough and the investment was too small.
In any case, Zhao Wenrui's victory again was unscathed, plunging the Aubonin people into a carnival, and even ordinary people more or less, directly and indirectly, shared some benefits.
For a time, Zhao Wenrui's reputation was pushed to a new height. Even George II half-jokingly said: "It took two battles for Kraven to gain the popularity that I have accumulated in ten years." ”
Zhao Wenrui ignored these and couldn't care about it, because after completing the population task of the corpse hunting ranch issued by the system, the 60-day timer did not end. Instead, the countdown continues.
His first feeling was rejoicing.
Because this information made it easy for him to realize that there would be difficult challenges waiting for him in the remaining days. Therefore, the system did not decide that he won the game completely.
Thanks to his early completion of the task of 3,000 people, otherwise it is very likely that he will be hit by zombies in a state of feeling good.
Now that we are mentally prepared, the situation is very different.
