Chapter 37, Hatching the Nest
Not to mention that the security anxiety comes from the weak strength of one's direct descendants and the paranoia of persecution. Let's just say that there is an imminent thing that makes Gu Hang have to accelerate the expansion of military strength.
Previously, there had been an 'abscess' attack in the Doge's camp. Later, Yan Fangxu took people to investigate the source of the monster attack, and found that it came out of the woods in the west.
Then, when Yan Fangxu took the soldiers to train, on the one hand, it was used as a place for training, and on the other hand, it was also to eliminate these monsters.
As a result, I don't know if I don't know, and I'm scared when I go. In that woodland, they encountered many monsters, not limited to abscesses. And further, they also found hatching nests for many monsters.
Gu Hang also went to check it out in person.
The woods where the corrupt nests are dense, the bark of the trees has been corroded by the secretions of the alien monsters, and it exudes a strong smell of decay.
The hatching nest he saw was hidden in a dark, damp woodland area, and the entrance to the nest was hidden by dense vines and brambles.
Burn the vines and thorns, and you're in the lair. Surrounded by parasitic trees, a hatching nest was formed, dark and damp inside, and a strong odor filled the air.
In the corners of the lair, the eggs of many alien monsters are attached to the wet ground, and the embryos of mutant monsters are wriggling inside the translucent egg shells. A thick layer of mucus condensed on the eggshell, dripping from time to time, turning into a foul-smelling puddle of green pus. The cracks in the eggshell shone with an eerie glow, reflecting on the walls of the nest, forming a strange shadow.
At that time, Gu Hang ordered the destruction of this nest, burning the flames and destroying the inside of the explosives.
However, it was only a small hatching nest, and I don't know how many were left in this wood.
According to their assessment afterwards, if left unchecked, in a few months, a wave of mutant monsters would sweep towards Gu Hang's camp, including the Abandoned Cave Society.
When the time comes, it is impossible to say how much it will cost to quell this wave.
But fortunately, the situation was discovered relatively early, and there was still time.
Gu Hang needed to expand his army to protect the safety of the camp. According to his idea, after the reorganization of the troops, except for the necessary guards, the rest of the teams will be rotated and sent to the forest to cleanse the lair of the monsters.
The main goal of this is, of course, to nip the problem in the cradle as much as possible.
In addition, there are also gains that can be obtained immediately, which Gu Hang also attaches great importance to.
This harvest is the gift point.
When Yan Fangxu led the troops and destroyed the first xenohatching nest, Gu Hang jumped out of the interface of battle settlement.
There are no losses, two boon points are gained.
Then he learned that there were hatching nests of an order of magnitude in the woodland.
His eyes lit up.
You say it's a threat, and it's true. But in Gu Hang's opinion, it is also a big treasury!
It took a long time to develop in the territory, introduce population, light industry, heavy industry, and construction, and finally doubled his monthly fixed income from the previous 12 to 25.
I was trying to make persistent efforts to bring up this statistic, and then wait until January was full to get the harvest, and as a result, I dug up such a big gold mine.
Destroying a hatching nest is a two-point bounty, and as long as you burn ten, you will have a month's harvest!
Then I'm still working hard to farm...... Oh, the fields still have to be planted, and these two things do not conflict.
However, it is precisely because of the harvest that he attaches more importance to this.
The 1st Servant Battalion was basically unmoved, and its troops were divided into three places: the River Valley Manor, the Governor's Camp, and the Abandoned Cave Society.
The 2nd Infantry Battalion was basically thrown into the strange woodland - this name was newly chosen by Gu Hang.
The team was handed over to Captain Yan Fangxu as the commander-in-chief, responsible for clearing the woodland.
In the past few days, seven nests have been burned.
Captain Yan commanded the operation more cautiously, he preferred to progress slower and more cautiously, but also to avoid losses as much as possible.
On the other hand, the original commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, Perbov was not very satisfied with this. According to his thoughts, let alone burning seven nests during this time, he would like to burn seventy!
If we don't strive for results as soon as possible and as much as possible, how can we be worthy of the trust of the governor?
Gu Hang was very satisfied with the high fighting enthusiasm shown by Perbov.
Then he chose to support Yan Fangxu's command strategy.
Things are not tense enough to be filled with human lives, and there is no need for Gu Hang to order the soldiers to die in vain.
The eradication of monsters in the xenomorph woodland can still be done step by step, destroying monsters, destroying hatching nests, and taking your time.
There are still a few months to go, and even according to Yan Fangxu's cautious strategy, this problem should be solved.
Of course, as a leader, Gu Hang needs to be more cautious.
destroyed the seven monster nests, bringing a total of 11 gifts to Gu Hang.
He intended to recruit another battalion of infantry from among the exiles, from among the slaves.
Using the Black Box Machine, he was soon able to produce enough weapons and ammunition to equip them; By spending Grant Points, he can quickly train these newly recruited soldiers into qualified warriors.
Here in Gu Hang, the speed at which he explodes troops is extremely fast.
……
The will of the governor was quickly implemented.
A recruiting office has appeared in the Abandoned Cave Society and the Governor's Camp.
Residents of both places enthusiastically joined the army.
Of course, they don't have the same reasons for their enthusiasm.
The most enthusiastic are the residents of the Waste Cave Society, who have lived a good life for a period of time and fully cherish this time. They are willing to carry guns and defend their hard-won gains.
The second most willing are the displaced people who have just been allocated. They didn't have any particular ideas, they were simply attracted by the Governor's generous treatment of recruiting soldiers.
Pipe full, two sets of military uniforms, weapons and equipment...... That's enough to attract the homeless who have nothing.
What's more, Gu Hang will also give them work points, and they can go to the ration station to 'buy' what they want. After these two days of preaching, they can clearly understand that work is a good thing.
According to Gu Hang's instructions, among the 300 soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, 150 were selected from the homeless, 100 from the starship slaves, and 50 from the Abandoned Cave Society.
The composition of personnel is relatively complex, but Gu Hang himself hopes that the melting pot of the army can try to knead together soldiers from different backgrounds.
And the more effective furnace is still the system's [Pawn] system.
After a short period of training, Gu Hang will get a qualified infantry battalion.
After three or four days of training and about six days of equipment production, this infantry battalion will take shape.
And Gu Hang, who was reorganizing the team and planning to make a wave in the xenomorph forest, did not forget another thing:
How is the investigation of the cult situation in Fuxing City?
