Chapter 24: What Neighbors Think
"Finally gone!"
Zhao Yu wiped the sweat from his head, "It's really dangerous!" ”
Just now it was really when he was closest to death, he had soldiers and guns but no bullets.
Fortunately, Meng Xian was bluffed by him!
"No, we have to expand our staff!"
Zhao Yu felt that it was difficult to hold up the scene with this amount of manpower at the moment.
Even if there are no bullets, but others don't know, as long as there are more people and more guns, hold on for a few more days, and hold on until the day when ammunition can be manufactured, it will be in vain.
Zhao Yu ordered the eight mobilized soldiers to be untied, and hurriedly entered the training camp.
After checking the maximum number of mobilizers that can be exchanged, he found that he can now train up to 23 mobilizers, which is still due to the lack of gold and silver.
The most abundant are copper, iron, and tin, and flesh and blood are also scarce, but there is still a surplus of several hundred kilograms.
[Did you spend 23 Tech Points, 1518 Kilograms of Flesh, 23 Kilograms of Cloth, 230 grams of Gold, 2300 Grams of Silver, and 11500 Grams of Copper to train 23 Mobilizers?] 】
"Yes!"
23 technology points have been deducted from the training, and Zhao Yu still has 35 points left at the moment, according to his plan, the rewards of daily tasks are used to exchange for buildings, and now it is only equivalent to using future technology points in advance.
"It will take two hours to train......
Glancing at the training time, it took 115 minutes for the 23 soldiers, and Zhao Yu turned his head and entered the arsenal again.
The things in the arsenal can be exchanged for a lot, and he is not short of copper, iron and tin for the time being.
However, Zhao Yu didn't waste it, according to what he thought, he first exchanged for 23 sets of weapons needed by the 23 mobilized soldiers, rifles, pistols, military stabers, sabers, etc.
In addition to these, Zhao Yu originally planned to exchange for nine machine guns and unlock the mortar.
It turned out that the amount of iron left was not enough, only enough to exchange for five machine guns with armor.
"Five is five......"
Although you can't exchange mortars, you can still use machine guns.
After the exchange, the resources in Zhao Yu's hands were almost emptied.
When I walked out of the arsenal, I found that many soldiers were a little sluggish, and they were in a state of 'hunger' on their heads.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu felt that he was also a little hungry, and ordered people to live and cook.
The food reserves are quite abundant, and the last time I got two tons from the shelter, a day has passed, and only more than thirty kilograms have been consumed, which is enough to eat for a long time.
Half an hour later, the boiled cabbage came out of the pot, and with a bowl of white rice per person, the soldiers ate it deliciously.
Zhao Yu only felt bored, so he could only take out his reserve grain, add a canned meat with a fishy smell to it, and mix it with rice, so 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 through, and 11 soldiers came out.
Zhao Yu gathered all the soldiers under his command, a total of 25 mobilized soldiers, plus 12 people who were still training, there were 37 mobilized soldiers under his command.
The Marine infantry and special forces did not lose any time after several battles, with 10 infantry and 1 special forces.
Counting the 12 people who were training and hadn't come out yet, there were a total of 48 soldiers under his command.
Zhao Yu ordered 20 mobilized soldiers, organized them into a team, and divided them into four teams, each team of five people.
"From today on, you are the guard of the base, responsible for patrolling and garrisoning the base......"
The mobilized soldiers also have to rest, otherwise it is extremely easy to get tired, so Zhao Yu took eight hours off a day and worked sixteen hours a day, dividing the duty time of the four teams.
Basically, at least three teams of people patrol the base at any one time.
Zhao Yu pointed to the four buildings left over from the original power plant next to the base, and said, "Carry two machine guns up and put them in a conspicuous position on the roof......
Then he had people set up a sandbag more than one meter high in the other three directions of the base, a distance of 100 meters outward, and a machine gun was placed on each sand pile.
In addition, Zhao Yu also circled the patrol area, east to the original four buildings of the power plant, and the other three directions to the sand pile machine guns.
It is equivalent to patrolling within a radius of 100 meters with the base as the center.
He didn't want to encounter this kind of thing of going home and being surrounded by people again, and if he did it again, he might not be able to live.
Of course, at the moment, whether it is the members of the patrol guard or the few machine guns, they are all decorations for others to see.
Let people know that there are troops here, and there are machine guns, and they are not easy to mess with.
After doing this, all the mobilized soldiers in the training camp also came out, and Zhao Yu equipped everyone with weapons and equipment in turn.
At the same time, the sound in the east attracted Zhao Yu's attention, and he climbed to the top of the next building.
The people who found out that it was Meng Xian and their people had already begun to relocate to the vicinity of the east gate of the power plant.
"So many people?!"
Although he had already guessed that there were a lot of people under Meng Xian's hands, he didn't expect that there were so many people, at least two or three hundred.
Two or three hundred people don't sound like much, but in this eschatological environment, there are still a lot.
Especially before Zhao Yu was complacent that he had 48 soldiers, but now it seems that there are still too few!
In these last days, those who can survive are basically young and middle-aged, and there are very few old and young.
This means that as long as these people are given weapons, they can be more or less combative.
Zhao Yu stayed on the roof 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 on the side of the fence on the left and right sides of the east gate.
Soon, Zhao Yu saw three familiar figures, which were his ex-wife Xu Menglan and his two sisters-in-law, Xu Xiulan and Xu Sulan.
They were now working with a few women to set up the camp.
Although the distance was far away, Zhao Yu could still feel that they seemed to exude a happy aura.
Zhao Yu's expression became a little complicated, he opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and finally shook his head, said "Okay", and led people downstairs.
Back at camp, the sky began to light up in the distance, and it seemed like it was morning again.
As before, sleepiness struck, and Zhao Yu didn't take advantage of it, so that the mobilized soldiers of the guard team continued to patrol, and the others were all sent to the base to sleep.
Zhao Yu used to think that there were quite a lot of rooms in the base, but after the more than twenty soldiers moved in and filled a few rooms, he suddenly felt that it was necessary to find a place for these soldiers to sleep in the future.
In his thoughts, Zhao Yu's consciousness gradually became confused.
……
"Sister Meng, what do you say they are doing here?!"
Outside the east gate, Xiao Liu, Meng Xian and others did not join in the construction of the camp, but walked around the camp.
They belong to the fighting team and need to maintain their physical strength to protect others.
Meng Xian shook her head and said, "I don't know, if those four buildings are opened, maybe you will know......"
"Look at what Zhao Yu means, what should be the big secret......
Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Meng, will they do any biochemical research?!" ”
"This apocalypse, whether it is a mutant beast or a radiation beast, it is said that it is made by those companies engaged in gene technology......"
"Who did you listen to?!" Meng Xian's face changed, she glanced left and right, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, you don't want to die?!" ”
Xiao Liu's face was panicked, and he hurriedly said that he was talking nonsense.
Meng Xian's expression softened a little, and she said, "Little Liu, you have to remember that the world is different now than before......
"Whether it's the Reed Group or the Rizhao Group, they are all giants we can't afford to offend......"
"If they let their people hear it, if there is even the slightest dissatisfaction, it will be given to you and bring an irresistible blow to our camp......"
"Yes...... Sister Meng, I know! Xiao Liu sighed, looking dejected.
Meng Xian also had some drumming in her heart, although Xiao Liu was unintentional, but there was indeed a saying among the people that the end of the world was made by several major groups.
If the Rizhao Group is really engaged in some kind of biochemical experiments, then it would be a wrong choice for them to move the camp here.
On the side, Hawkeye leaned a little closer and said, "Sister Meng, what Xiao Liu said is not completely unreasonable, in case they really engage in biochemical experiments, if they leak a little, it is not something we can afford......"
"What do you mean?!" Meng Xian turned her head and looked at Hawkeye and asked.
At this stage, the only person in the camp who can be considered smart is Hawkeye.
It seems that when he took the genetic potion, it not only strengthened his eyesight, but also strengthened his brain.
"I mean, you're familiar with the Yellow Steward of the Reed Group, can you get some information from him?!"
"Yellow Steward ......"
Meng Xian frowned, it was a man in his fifties and almost sixty years old.
The reason why she treats her differently is because the old thing covets her beauty, if she doesn't still have some strength, I'm afraid she would have been in the bag.
", what are you talking about?!" Xiao Liu was angry, grabbed Hawkeye's collar, and looked like he was going to beat him to death.
"Stop!
Meng Xian immediately stopped Xiao Liu's movements, "Apologize to Hawkeye!" ”
Xiao Liu's face froze, his face turned red, and after a while, under Meng Xian's re-emphasis, he reluctantly apologized to Hawkeye.
"It's okay, Xiaoliu cares about you, I can understand!"
Eagle Eye was very generous, smiled slightly, and said: "Sister Meng, my idea is that you go to Black Rock City for a trip, we just have a batch of supplies that can be sold in Black Rock City, and by the way, bring all the people we have ideas to strengthen, and also take the opportunity to ask Zhao Yu what they are here for......"
"Hmm!"
Meng Xian nodded, she had the idea of going to Black Rock City before, if it wasn't for the migration of mutant beasts and the destruction of the old Mengjiazhuang, she would have gone a few weeks earlier.
"Sister Meng, I'll go with you, I feel that the first-order gene potion is almost digested now, and I can upgrade to the second-order......" Xiao Liu on the side hurriedly shouted.
Meng Xian frowned slightly, "Second-order gene enhancement, the risk of death is not low, you ......"
"Sister Meng, you are all third-order, according to you, you have experienced three deaths, and I am only once, what am I afraid of?!" Xiao Liu looks like he is not afraid of the sky and the earth.
The eagle eye on the side glanced at Xiao Liu with a little deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, Xiao Liu is right, he has stayed in the first order for so long, it's time to strengthen to the second order......
"You're not like me......"
Meng Xian wanted to persuade her, but seeing Xiaoliu's resolute attitude, she simply agreed.
"Okay, you come with me to Blackstone City this time......"
Soon, the East Gate camp was settled, and Meng Xian also found the person who went to Black Rock City this time.
There were eight people in total, three enhancers led the team, and five ordinary gunners were responsible for pulling the goods.
In addition to Meng Xian and Xiao Liu, there is also a first-order power enhancer named Song Hai, who also wants to go to Black Rock City to advance to the second order.

After briefly explaining what happened after they left, Meng Xian left the camp with the people.
Black Rock City is more than a hundred kilometers away from the camp, and if you go all out, it will take about three days to walk, and it will take a week to go back and forth.
……
Eight hours later.
The first thing Zhao Yu did when he woke up was to open the task list.
To his relief, this time the mission was not to be aliens, but to clean up a farm of aliens.
Walked out of the base gate, inquired about the situation of the guard, and everything was fine.
The East Gate camp stayed there honestly, not taking half a step into the gate of the power plant.
"Good!"
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and it seemed that the scare measures he had made had taken effect.
Immediately afterward, he began to think about how to complete the task.
The biggest problem now is that I have a gun but no bullets, but fortunately, I am dealing with xenos, even if there are more of them, it is still acceptable.
After all, if you change to an alien, even if there is only one, there is no gun and no bullets, and it is difficult to destroy it with cold weapons alone.
Zhao Yu came to the arsenal, opened the cold weapon column, and began to check it.
Knives, swords, sticks, etc., all eighteen kinds of weapons are complete, but Zhao Yu's attention was on guns before, and he didn't pay too much attention to these.
But at the moment, we can only use these cold weapons to transition.
Zhao Yu looked through the list of cold weapons, constantly simulating the combat situation with different cold weapons in his mind, and finally imagined several sets of combat plans.
Sapper shovels, steel cables, black tassel guns, shields, and other things that I didn't see before, were exchanged for a lot by Zhao Yu.
Then, he gathered 28 people except the guards and divided the various cold weapons.
Bringing some spare food, he left the camp with 28 men.
