Wasteland Commander

Chapter 116 Arrangement and Arrival

Ye Fan returned to the core area. After the incident ended last night, he came here to set up the arsenal.

An arsenal is a large factory building with a lot of military equipment inside.

 Red Alert’s firearms and vehicles are free of mechanical failures. Engineers can repair them if they are damaged by external forces.

  It can be recycled if it is damaged to a certain extent, so there is no need for a military factory to produce weapons.

 This is mainly the production of ammunition.

Ye Fan came here. Zhang Kunlin accompanied him and gave Ye Fan a list.

 “Sir, this is the manufacturing cost of the bullet.”

  If there is no big battle, the Dawn Army's bullets are basically enough.

 Three-star army soldiers can refresh 500 rounds of ammunition every day, and the mobilization troops also have 210 rounds.

 Now that we are approaching two battalions of soldiers, the bullets cannot be used normally.

 But things are different.

Hundreds of thousands of zombies are coming, which requires a huge amount of bullets.

 Among them, the biggest consumption is undoubtedly the bullets of light machine guns and rifles.

Red Alert's light machine guns and rifles both use universal 7.62mm bullets. What Ye Fan is most concerned about is the cost.

“Universal 7.62mm bullet, cost 0.1 gold!”

Ye Fan did some calculations and found that a reserve of 100,000 and 80,000 rounds was not enough for this kind of battle. At least 500,000 rounds had to be prepared first.

 Fifty thousand hairs, that’s fifty thousand gold.

Ye Fan now has 120,000 gold in his hand, up from 110,000 before. In the past two days, the mining truck has brought him another 10,000 gold.

 Fifty thousand is a bit too much. After all, he still needs to prepare artillery shells, sniper rifles and heavy machine gun bullets.

The flamethrower warrior also uses oil, which is also a major consumption item. If there are too many zombies, it is necessary to destroy the corpses.

“Sir, 0.1 gold is the cost without providing copper. Bullets are mainly made of copper. If we provide copper, the cost will be reduced by half, and one bullet can be made with 0.05 gold.”

 “Oh! That’s not bad.”

 The biggest consumption of bullets is the manufacture of bullet cases, which are generally made of copper.

Of course, copper-clad steel and painted steel are also used, but those materials are still incomparable to copper.

Ye Fan checked the amount of copper collected during this period and found that approximately 700,000 bullet casings could be produced.

“You can allocate these resources at will. First prepare 700,000 rounds, and then prepare some shells and special oil. Remember not to spend all the money at once and leave some for emergencies.”

“Another point is to give priority to the production of mines for use by mine-laying vehicles.”

 Landmines are more expensive, and one requires hardware.

 Replenishing a mine-laying vehicle requires four thousand five hundred gold!

  However, no matter how expensive it is, it must be produced. This is the first line of defense of the Dawn Army.

 “Don’t worry, sir, I know what to do.”

 The arsenal had thirty workers and immediately began intensive production.

Boxes of black mines and yellow-orange bullets were produced and rushed to the front line.

In addition to the weapons produced here in the arsenal, Ye Fan also received a lot of firearms and ammunition from the Survivor Alliance.

The firearms here are old and new, and there are not many domestic ones. Instead, most of them are Rakshasa firearms like AK.

 About this situation, Ye Fan also learned a little about this situation from Zhang Xiaofei last night.

Flower City continues to the north, which is the boundary river between the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Rakshasa people, the Shenlong River.

 On the other side of the Shenlong River is an important military town for the Rakshasa people.

 Etamountain.

 The end of the world is coming, and meteors hit the ground.

Not only the military camps of the Qin and Han Dynasties were destroyed, but also foreign governments and military camps suffered heavy losses.

Taking the Rakshasa Haishan Guards as an example, it is impossible to describe the loss there if not even one in a hundred is left. There may be a thousand, or even ten thousand, not even one left.

 It was not only people who were lost, but also a large number of weapons.

 But there was a group of people who survived on Haishanwei.

That was a group of arsenal technicians. They organized an event that day. When the apocalypse came, the arsenal was destroyed by meteors. Instead, they escaped, and only a few dozen of them remained.

But these few dozen people have laid a huge foundation on the Rakshasa side.

 Because they can repair weapons.

 They quickly gathered a group of survivors, recaptured the arsenal, and then started new weapons manufacturing.

Although a large number of weapons were damaged, there were still many that could be used if they could be pieced together. Relying on this, they established a base in Haishanwei and established a relationship with the Wangbei Army on the Qin and Han side.

The Zhang brothers of Wangbeijun themselves are wealthy people in Huacheng, owning a company with tens of thousands of employees.

After the accident, Zhang Zhiguo led the 700 or 800 surviving employees to the Armed Police Force for help and found that the place was in ruins.

 The armed police force was about to conduct training when disaster struck from the sky. Many weapons were left outside, which made it easier for them.

Later, Zhang Zhiguo took people to the headquarters of the Steel Group on the outskirts of the city, and then got in touch with his brother Zhang Zhijian.

It was Zhang Zhijian's idea to contact the Rakshasa people. Zhang Zhiguo was injured after escaping and has been recovering from illness. Although he is the leader, Zhang Zhijian is actually in charge of the North-Looking Army now.

According to Zhang Xiaofei, the two of them were even able to sail on the Shenlong River. Wangbei Army sent a large amount of steel and rare metals to Rakshasa to help Rakshasa restore its production line.

 On the Rakshasa side, they continue to provide them with weapons, and both parties benefit from each other.

Zhang Xiaofei also said that the Rakshasa side was developing even better than the Wangbei Army. It was said that a military camp had been established to allow new survivors to receive military training.

 It seems that the production of tanks in the heavy industry is currently being resumed, but I don’t know whether it will be successful or not.

 “Military camp...chariot production factory!”

 “Still foreign.”

 When Ye Fan heard the news, his heart moved slightly.

It seems that not only I am developing, but others are also developing.

 The Rakshasa group is relatively lucky. They have many technical personnel. Once they develop, they cannot be underestimated.

Wangbei Army provided a large amount of metal to the other party to resume production, which made Ye Fan feel a little unhappy.

 This is simply playing with fire. The other side gives you some obsolete weapons and lets you collect supplies and send them over. They can focus on development without being threatened. When their strength grows, the Northern Army may have little value.

 It’s just that Ye Fan doesn’t have time to take care of this now. When this crisis passes, he will definitely not sit back and watch.

And foreign military camps and tank factories seem a bit interesting...

  ************

 The production in the military factory continues, and the Shuguang Army is already extremely busy.

In order not to lose efficiency, Ye Fan even produced another mine-laying vehicle.

Two vehicles are moving at the same time, and at least 9,000 mines must be laid before the zombies arrive!

Shuguang City faces south and has city walls on all four sides, but the focus of defense is only on two sides.

The north side of the mountain near the back is narrow and difficult to expand. Even if there are zombies to attack, it can only accommodate a small number of zombies and is not the focus of defense.

 The west side is also close to the mountains, and the terrain is similar to that of the north side.

 The focus is on the south side of the front and the east side near the Qixing River.

To the south is the outer city area, which has the widest terrain and must be the main attack location of the zombie hordes.

The east side is also not small. It used to be a field. When Ye Fan was building the city, he didn't have time to deal with the crop fields, so he didn't touch it. Now that the surrounding grain harvest is almost done, it has become a point that must be defended.

 The money in hand is getting less and less with the production of bullets.

  The minelayers were still busy nervously.

 Made mines were thrown one by one and launched by the mine-laying vehicle with a rocket launcher, and were evenly arranged on the ground.

The South Gate area is the key point, with two vehicles pushing in from the left and right sides.

As he approached the central highway, an idea flashed in Ye Fan's mind and he suddenly stopped the minelayer.

“The section of the middle highway will not be arranged.”

Staff Officer Zhongjing was stunned: "Sir, doesn't that leave an attack route for the zombies?"

Ye Fan waved his hand: "Just leave a way for them, that will be interesting."

 Zhongjing also reacted quickly.

“Sir, do you mean these zombies are intelligent?”

“Of course, I don’t think this is a simple zombie wave. They can come here all the way from Coal City with a clear purpose. How can it be done by ordinary zombies?”

Zhongjing nodded slightly: "Sir, if the zombies are intelligent, then our pressure will be much greater."

"It doesn't matter. Although the zombies are ferocious, are our Dawn Army vegetarians? We can just kill as many as they come."

Ye Fan turned around and gave another order to Nana.

 A blue and white oil tanker truck drove out from the core base.

He rushed out of the main gate, drove farther and farther along the middle road left by Ye Fan, and soon disappeared.

After thinking about it, Ye Fan issued another order to the cooking troops.

 “Cut off Xiaoba’s food ration.”

　　************

 On the city wall, the arrangement of the soldiers has also reached the final stage.

 The first battalion is a full battalion, responsible for the defense of the three walls of the east, west, north and west.

 The Second Battalion is nearly full and is responsible for the defense of the south gate.

 A heavy machine gun was moved to the top of the city.

 Boxes of newly produced ammunition were also piled up.

 The black barrel of the gun poked out from the crenellations of the city wall.

 One post at three steps, one sentry at five steps.

Although the Dawn Army's operations were busy, they were orderly, and no one among the soldiers yelled.

This kind of depression before the war makes people feel suffocated.

The survivors are taking shelter in their own houses. There is basically no need for them now, as long as they don't come out to cause trouble.

 The housing area for students of Lingshui No. 1 Middle School.

 Girls dormitory.

A gust of wind blew, and yellow leaves fell in front of the newly built glass windows.

The girls were all lying on the window, holding their chins with their hands, looking at Ye Fan, who was wearing a white cloak and stood out among the crowd above the city.

 “Ye Luo’s brother looks so handsome from behind.”

"I heard that he is still our senior, not a few years older than us."

“But he looks much more mature, he feels like an adult.”

"I heard that he was very famous when he was in school. He seemed to have a nickname of killer. But since he saved us, Ye Luo couldn't tell anyone to call his brother a killer. It seems that his brother doesn't like this name. .”

"But what a pity. I heard a piece of news. It seems that a platoon leader of the Dawn Army said that Ye Fan is passionate and will not consider finding a girlfriend until the zombies are completely eliminated."

 “Alas~~~!”

 A few girls sighed slightly, obviously they had given up on Mark.

 Suddenly~!

 The soldiers on the city wall suddenly straightened their waists and poked out their guns!

 “Everyone is on alert~~~~!”

The chief of staff next to Ye Fan roared, making everyone tremble.

 The earth seemed to be trembling slightly.

A gust of northwest wind brought a pungent fishy smell.

 There was a panic in the base.

The 300,000 zombie army finally appeared under Dawn City after seven days of trekking!

  Thanks to the book friend (Fu Vqiang) for the 3000 reward and promotion to the book elder! Thanks to the book friends (the friendship remains like water in the years) (yesterday’s dream a) thousand rewards, and to many book friends for their rewards!
