Outside the courtyard wall, you can see concrete apartment buildings, in which the people of the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base live. The Ming Dynasty Survivor Base, which is "not short of money," naturally does not treat its people badly, and every household has an open door.
Electric heating. Life here is countless times happier than in the slums.
In the open space, a snowplow truck converted from a civilian pickup truck was working. It repeatedly pushed the snow on the ground outside the base. The sentry standing on the wall moved around from time to time, warning of dangers outside the base. The man dressed in white
The cold-proof clothing is like a snowman holding a rifle.
"If the snow is so heavy, the mutants probably won't be able to march here." Although it brought a lot of inconvenience to the base's production and life, the heavy snow flying in the sky made him feel a little at ease.
"Speaking of mutants, Zhou Weiguo, who you sent to investigate, brought back a lot of interesting information."
"Oh?" Zhu Tian frowned: "How to say?"
"There are no less than 3,000 mutants active in Site 5. There are clear signs that they are preparing war materials."
This is equivalent to the strength of a reinforced regiment, and every mutant is a natural warrior. If there are more than 3,000 mutants, even if they only send 1,000 people, the total population will not be less than 1,000.
The Ming survivor base can't resist.
No, let alone the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base, it would not be easy even if it were replaced by the Tianyuan Base.
"I hope this heavy snow can bring them some trouble." Looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, a trace of sadness flashed across Zhu Tian's eyebrows.
"Mutants are famous for their resistance to cold, and heavy snow of this level cannot do anything to them. We can only pray that this heavy snow will kill more of their slaves, which will make their lives more difficult."
Li Xinran said with the same solemn tone.
Slaves? Speaking of which, how did the Rebel Alliance in Chu City survive the despotic power of mutants?
Shaking his head, Zhu Tian temporarily put aside the confusion in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Is that all?"
"Also, according to Zhou Weiguo, when he returned from No. 5, he met a group of refugees outside the Donggou area."
"Fugitives?" Zhu Tian asked, touching his chin thoughtfully.
"Well. They originally belonged to the survivor group in Donggou Town. But the survivor group there has been destroyed. Zhou Weiguo brought those refugees back, and I ordered people to temporarily house them in a temporary residence outside the city!
"Li Xinran nodded, then took out the tablet and showed the map to Zhu Tian.
"Donggou Town is located between Longchi Lake and No. 5. It is adjacent to Longpao Town and is one of the passages for mutants to go to Liuhe District. The number of survivors is about 700, because there are few mutant activities and there are no external threats.
, so the organization is loose. There are only simple fortifications outside the town, and the organized militia is only fifty people!"
"So they were enslaved by mutants?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Tian had already roughly guessed
came to their end.
"That's right." Li Xinran nodded, and then said: "A team of 40 mutants was stationed in Donggou Town and established an outpost there. It can be seen that they are indeed planning to go via Donggou Town.
Jinling City.”
That means they will go to Longchi Lake instead of the Dachang area.
This is undoubtedly the worst outcome. In fact, deep down in his heart, Zhu Tian still vaguely hopes to avoid a direct conflict with the mutants. Even if they really arrive at Kaman Company and successfully obtain the improved version of the A virus, it will not be enough.
It's just taking it back to harm Chu City.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Tian said in a deep voice: "What about the more than 700 survivors?"
"According to what the refugees said, due to heavy snow and road closures, they were temporarily detained in Donggou Town and were not immediately transferred!" After speaking, Li Xinran looked at Zhu Tian.
Is the road blocked by heavy snow? A "lonely" mutant outpost.
Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Tian's face.
"This is an opportunity."
"you mean?"
"Eat them! Then consolidate the defense of Donggou Town, intercept the mutant expeditionary force there, and keep them out of Donggou Town!"
In terms of frontal firepower and armor, there is no essential difference between a soldier wearing W-type power armor and a mutant with a steel plate on his chest.
If it is a one-on-one situation, powered armor can indeed easily deal with mutant soldiers with almost undefended backs due to its high maneuverability and high battlefield adaptability. But if it rises to a group-level combat, the advantages of powered armor
It will be weakened a lot, and battles will tend to develop in the direction of relying on bunkers to vent firepower on each other.
Zhu Tian had already learned his lesson in the last firefight with mutants.
One hundred W-type powered armors did not have any advantage in terms of firepower in a firefight with more than a hundred mutants. It could even be said that they were completely suppressed. In the end, they still relied on the advantage of the condescending terrain and spent countless lives.
At the cost of 1 spare fuel rod and 30 units of power armor, we barely managed to win.
If Zhu Tian had had a few more artillery pieces, the situation might have been different.
At the same time, whether it has the ability to produce heavy firepower weapons on its own is fundamental to whether a survivor base can exist.
In every sense, the Ming survivor base must develop heavy firepower!
And he has now begun to do so.
Since the last time I bought the Type 50 electromagnetic gun technology from Zhao Tianqiang, it has been completely digested by the technicians at the Ming Survivor Base. Although the production conditions at the base are still crude, after more than half a month of hard work, the workers at the Ming Survivor Base
Still relying on rudimentary production equipment, six Type 50 electromagnetic guns were produced.
This kind of vehicle
The electromagnetic gun was usually used as the main gun of a tank during wartime, but it was obviously impossible to get a tank now. So, Zhu Tian thought of a compromise.
The Type 50 electromagnetic gun was welded to the improved truck bed, and the armor of the truck was strengthened to a certain extent by welding steel plates. At the same time, a gunner was placed at the rear to fire the gun manually.
Ever since, this nondescript electromagnetic gun tank was born under Zhu Tian's imagination.
Moreover, he also gave this thing a second-time hit name: Hunting Tiger.
Low armor, medium mobility, high range, and high damage. It works wonders in suburbs with few buildings, but it is a target in cities. Although this design is a bit extreme, it can only be used like this for now.
On the other hand, with the commissioning of the Hummingbird UAV production line, patrols outside the base have been completely handed over to these palm-sized little guys. Currently, the reserve of Hummingbird UAVs in the base has reached more than one hundred.
Assembling a drone attack formation is more than enough.
Although these little guys don't have a high bomb load, once their numbers are established, launching a cluster attack is simply awesome.
The expedition to Donggou Town was scheduled for five days, and the survivors in the base were busy again.
Although the winter expedition seems a bit stupid, as long as it is the boss's decision, they will implement it without hesitation.
The military factory was working overtime. The workers followed Zhu Tian's instructions and welded the Type 50 electromagnetic gun to the modified truck. The training ground became lively as a result. Soldiers wearing white cold-proof clothing, led by Zhou Weiguo,
Pre-war training is being carried out nervously.
Although everyone was preparing seriously, Zhu Tian didn't have too many worries about this expedition.
There are only about 40 mutants. The Ming survivor base not only has hunting tigers to provide fire support, but also helicopters that serve as aerial gunships.
It can be said that there is no suspense in this war.
After coming out of the villa wearing thick winter clothes, Zhu Tian walked straight to Kong Jie's laboratory.
He was still very interested in the scientist who was keen on the aerospace industry. Not only did he get a laboratory for him, but he also gave him a monthly budget of 1,000 energy points to purchase related equipment.
Although the current aerospace technology is of little use to the Ming Dynasty survivor base, rockets are not only used to shoot into the sky. If they are shot towards the ground, they are missiles!
Of course, the purpose of his coming this time was not for missiles, but for something else.
Opening the door to the laboratory, Zhu Tian quickly stepped inside, then quickly closed the door behind him.
He stood at the door and shook off the snow on his body before walking into the house.
