"If we really want to build the shelter inside the aerial aircraft carrier, first I need to acquire enough materials!
At the very least, we must ensure an ample supply of various metals!"
Xu Zhengyang said, then promptly opened his mission list to check the latest main mission:
[Main Mission: Expansion II (In Progress)]
[A sufficiently large territory harbors abundant resources and represents substantial strategic depth.
You have already established a foothold in the apocalypse.
Next.
Please gradually expand your influence centered around the shelter!]
[Mission Objective: Centered around the shelter, bring a 100-kilometer diameter of land under your control!]
[Mission Reward: Knowledge Card·Materials Science]
(Note: No Blood Plague creatures are allowed within your controlled area!)
After reading the mission information, Xu Zhengyang nodded and immediately deployed all the T-800 combat robots.
Then Xu Zhengyang said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, you take control of a batch of combat robots, centered around the shelter.
Eliminate all the Blood Plague monsters within a 50-kilometer radius to the east, and I'll handle the west!"
"Understood, Master."
Da Bai complied, then immediately directed various models of combat robots to file out of the shelter, guided by satellite imagery to eliminate the wandering Zombie Hordes!
At that moment.
Da Bai spoke to Xu Zhengyang again, "But Master.
I can only locate monsters on the surface; if those monsters are inside buildings or caves.
It will significantly hinder my hunting speed."
"No problem."
Xu Zhengyang waved his hand, having already prepared a contingency plan in his mind.
After this mission appeared.
A miniature projection of the shelter also appeared before Xu Zhengyang's eyes, representing the territory he currently controlled.
Because of this.
As the mechanical army gradually expanded, any gaps in the controlled area would indicate the presence of Blood Plague monsters.
With specific coordinates.
Whether it required going up into the sky or digging into the ground, Xu Zhengyang could easily eradicate those monsters!
...
Xu Zhengyang's efforts to eliminate the Blood Plague monsters were very conspicuous!
Because of this.
The survivors at the New White City camp soon noticed the anomalies on Xu Zhengyang's side.
In the conference room.
Zhang Wei, the mayor of the New White City survivor camp, pointed with a grim expression at the distant sounds of gunfire and asked the others, "Everyone, what do you think?"
Vice Mayor Yang Hao had prepared in advance.
He was the first to distribute a stack of photos to everyone, explaining, "According to the scouts' reports.
The robots from the North Shelter are eliminating the Blood Plague monsters hidden in White City."
After everyone had passed around the stack of photos in Yang Hao's hands, they began to discuss animatedly: "Should we go and help?
Otherwise, if the North Shelter guy takes over all the supply points in the city, it would be awkward for us to go and move things..."
"Exactly, there are still several large granaries in White City!
Those Blood Plague monsters don't eat grains, so the food inside is still intact and stored there!"
"Also, clothes are durable, and electronic components aren't easily damaged.
We can't produce these things anymore, so we can only scavenge them from the city ruins."
...
Zhang Wei frowned instantly as he listened to the crowd chattering about trivial matters without addressing the main issue. He coldly shouted, "Silence!"
Without delay.
Zhang Wei then turned to the middle-aged man in a combat suit, the first on his left, and asked, "Jiaming, what do you think? If the guy from the northern suburbs uses robots to attack us, can we hold out?"
Upon hearing Zhang Wei's words, the people in the meeting room finally realized that the law had already collapsed, and now, might makes right! The thought of those fearless robots, which didn't kill zombies, turning their spears to attack the survivor camps...
Cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs, and all eyes turned to Zhou Jiaming.
Zhou Jiaming was a seasoned warrior before the apocalypse, with rich combat experience and excellent military skills! After the apocalypse.
Zhou Jiaming was fortunate not to turn into a zombie.
Because of this.
With his resume, he quickly became the chief of the Public Security Bureau of the New White City survivor camp.
After pondering for a while upon hearing Zhang Wei's question, Zhou Jiaming replied, "If we don't spare heavy weapons and ammunition.
We can hold out."
At that moment.
A bald, overweight man in the meeting room suddenly raised a photo and said to everyone, "By the way, didn't Xu Zhengyang from the northern suburbs sell us ten combat robots before?
Those combat robots don't seem nearly as agile as the ones in the photo!
Look at this.
This robot can even roll!"
Zhang Wei was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. Although he had seen the photos taken by the scouts earlier, he hadn't noticed this detail! So Zhang Wei immediately asked Zhou Jiaming, "Jiaming, the ten robots we got last time were all given to your Public Security Bureau.
After using them for so long, have you discovered any new functions of the robots?"
Zhou Jiaming replied, "The combat robots can indeed perform simple tactical actions such as climbing and rolling.
But someone must be nearby to control them.
Xu Zhengyang's combat robots are so agile, yet there's no one nearby to control them..."
At this point.
Zhou Jiaming paused, thought for a moment, and then continued, "I suspect that the robots Xu Zhengyang gave us have a backdoor.
Perhaps he can even remotely control our ten combat robots directly!"
As soon as Zhou Jiaming finished speaking.
Zhang Wei directly said to him, "Regardless of whether we can control them or not, we don't lack the combat power of these ten robots.
Have your people disarm the combat robots and lock them up separately!"
"Alright," Zhou Jiaming agreed.
At that moment.
The bald, overweight man suddenly spoke up again, "Xu Zhengyang has sent all his combat robots out to deal with the Blood Plague monsters near White City.
Does that mean his shelter is now defenseless?
Since he might pose a threat to our New White City survivor camp...
Should we strike first?"
The bald man's words seemed to open Pandora's box.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The meeting room immediately became lively:
"Exactly, it's better to be the thief for a thousand days than to guard against the thief for a thousand days!"
"If we can acquire his technology for controlling combat robots, does that mean we won't need soldiers to face various monsters with their own flesh and blood in the future?"
"But what about that laser weapon in his shelter? With that thing, our soldiers can't even get close to the walls of his shelter!"
