Chapter 72 Material Preparation and Defense Line Completion
In response to the monster siege, in addition to the three lines of defense, he also formulated the following plan.
First comes weapons and equipment. He will equip every resident with armor, swords, bows and arrows, and if possible, firearms.
Purchase materials and make defensive weapons such as trebuchets and bed crossbows to further enhance the city's defense capabilities.
Steel pipes, gasoline, bear traps, epoxy glass...
Tang Zhen's purchase documents listed a large number of material names. In order to build and defend the city, he racked his brains and gave everything he had.
Tang Zhen had no problem with funds. Although he purchased a lot of supplies, he still had a lot of savings, and he brought back a lot of property this time, which was enough to support his consumption.
Wang Daqing has once again expanded his manpower. Taking advantage of the slack season, he hired dozens of people, paid by pieces, and worked overtime to produce the items Tang Zhen requested.
A lot of things have been produced. All it takes is for Tang Zhen to drive over and bring them back in a few days.
Slowly walking out of the house, Tang Zhen looked around and made sure that no one was watching him, then he drove to the market to make purchases.
This busy period lasted for several days. It could be said that Tang Zhen hardly touched the ground. Even though he had amazing physical strength, he also felt very tired.
Fortunately, the last batch of supplies on the list had been purchased, and he also took the time to transport and deliver these supplies.
Next, we only need to drive back the weapons and armor produced by Wang Daqing, and then we will have all the materials needed before building the city!
The hard work Tang Zhen put in during this period is something that outsiders cannot appreciate.
In the cave in the valley of another world, all kinds of materials have been piled up. Tyson stared at the piles of food and weapons with red eyes, and with a ferocious expression, he strictly ordered no one to come close, otherwise he would be killed without mercy!
But he himself would often look at the supplies and giggle like "hehe", but his eyes were full of hope like rebirth.
Tyson strictly abides by Tang Zhen's orders and supervises this batch of supplies very strictly.
Even if someone wants to take something, Tyson has to go and get it in person. The visitor is not allowed to come even half a step closer to the cave. Those curious wanderers will just take a look at it and they will be grabbed by their clothes and beaten up.
.
Later, Tyson was worried that he wouldn't be able to keep the supplies by himself, so he even called Big Bear over. The two of them were like door gods, glaring at the wanderers coming and going, as if everyone looked like thieves.
Tang Zhen couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, so he told Tyson that he couldn't throw these things away, so there was no need to be so nervous.
After what happened in the past few days, Tyson almost regarded Tang Zhen as a god. He naturally nodded in agreement when he heard this, but he only beat the big bear to move the rocks. He still guarded the entrance of the cave meticulously.
From the look of Tyson, it seems that he is protecting not only the cave, but also the happy life of future generations.
When Tang Zhen saw this, he said nothing and just let him go.
…
At the beginning of the lanterns, the food stalls on the roadside were doing brisk business. After a busy day, Tang Zhen felt his stomach, stopped the car, randomly picked a shop, and sat down at an empty table.
After ordering a large draft beer, a portion of spicy crayfish, and dozens of skewers of barbecue, Tang Zhen picked up the cold draft beer and drank it.
Tang Zhen's original drinking capacity was average, but now his drinking capacity doubled. A large draft of beer quickly bottomed out, but he did not feel drunk at all. On the contrary, he felt cooler and more comfortable.
He was waving his hand to ask the waiter for two more drinks, but suddenly a tall girl in cool clothes jumped in front of him, her beautiful bright eyes were smiling, and she was looking at him intently.
Tang Zhen was a little confused. After glancing at the other person, he turned around and called the waiter. After ordering a beer, when he turned back, he found that the other person was still staring at him, as if his face had blossomed.
Frowning, Tang Zhen was about to ask the other party what he was going to do, but the girl suddenly smiled happily, pointed at Tang Zhen and said crisply: "Haha, it's you, I finally caught you!"
Tang Zhen was stunned when he heard this. The girl's words were confusing and could easily be misunderstood, okay?
The girl seemed to have confirmed Tang Zhen's identity. She sat down on the stool opposite him, pointed to the beer glass on the table and asked, "Uncle, are you drinking alone? Do you have something on your mind?"
"Uh... I'm just hungry..."
After a pause, Tang Zhen asked again: "Beauty, do we know each other?"
"Of course, why have you forgotten, uncle?"
"interesting!"
Tang Zhen touched his head, looked up at the sky with a recalling expression, but actually told the other person, I don't know you at all.
The girl curled her lips, took out her mobile phone and approached Tang Zhen. She took a photo of the two of them with her mobile phone. After opening the photo album and looking at it, she turned to Tang Zhen and asked, "Uncle, what's your phone number?"
Tang Zhen hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
"Really, can I still eat you?"
The girl said coquettishly, picked up the phone that Tang Zhen put on the table, opened it and dialed a number. Then the girl's phone rang, and the ringtone was a pretty good English song.
The green and slender fingers were operating quickly on the screen. The girl handed the phone to Tang Zhen again. She turned around with a smile and waved her hand: "Remember, call me, but I have to warn you, you still want to do it next time we meet."
If you don’t know who I am, I will be angry!”
Tang Zhen watched blankly as the girl's figure disappeared into the crowd, and then looked at the name 'Shen Weiwei' on the screen, feeling quite confused.
Smiling and shaking his head, Tang Zhen didn't take this matter to heart and continued to eat.
After eating, he drove back home. After Tang Zhen took a shower, he went to bed.
The next morning, when Tang Zhen appeared in the valley, the wanderers had already been busy for a long time.
On the evening of the fourth day after Qianlong went out, he brought back more than 300 wanderers, making the originally silent valley immediately lively.
At the same time, Qianlong also brought information from the outside, but Tang Zhen fell into deep thought after hearing it.
It turns out that since Black Rock City killed nearly 100,000 death birds at once, the number of these fragile strange birds has dropped sharply, and they can no longer launch large-scale attacks.
However, the wanderer zombies infected by the death birds began to wreak havoc in the wilderness, often gathering in hundreds or thousands, wandering around in the wilderness, making the wanderers avoid them.
The number of zombie monster soldiers of the Corpse Clan is also increasing, and some heavy cavalry of the Corpse Clan even appeared, causing the Black Rock City monks to cry out in agony.
But these hazards are far less harmful than a monster called corpse locust. This fist-sized monster also comes from the corpse tribe. They spread diseases, gnaw weeds and vegetation, and no grass grows in the places they pass. There are more than tens of thousands of them.
, the overwhelming corpse locusts have completely cut off the life of all wanderers in the area near Black Rock City.
When Qianlong appeared among the wanderers and promised to provide food and generous rewards for completing the work, the wanderers immediately followed him to the valley and joined the construction team.
Even after Qianlong came back, there were still wanderers who came one after another after hearing the news. They really couldn't survive outside, so they could only come to the valley to see if they could survive!
With the addition of these homeless people, the construction speed has been greatly improved, and it is now close to completion.
