Chapter 340: A New Mission

“Boss, the plan has failed!”
“Which plan?”
Steward Bai leaned back in his lounge chair, unzipping his trousers, giving a signal.
Zhou Xi quickly tying up her long hair, unbuttoning the tightly secured buttons at her chest, then slowly knelt down, playfully reaching out with her hand and said, “The plan with the helicopter crash…”
“Snap!”
BoxNovel.comSteward Bai stood up abruptly, no longer in the mood for play, “What happened?!”
“The people around used it, but the mutated zombies have been eliminated completely…”
“Huh?!”
Steward Bai frowned, “The defense force of the school was that strong?!”
“1 don’t know, three to four hundred people died, only a few dozen left…”
Steward Bai immediately felt deflated and sat back down in his chair, “Arrange one more experiment at another place…”
“Boss, if two helicopters crash in a short period of time, won’t that raise suspicion?” Zhou Xi wiped the corner of her mouth as she spoke.
“Hmm!”
“Just take a few vials of the elixir, send them somewhere else. As for the investigation, we can mentioned it was lost from the crashed helicopter…”
After all, that helicopter carried quite a lot of genetic elixirs, and it was possible that someone had secretly taken them.
Zhou Xi was about to leave to arrange it.
“Wait!”
“What was the most valuable thing on the crashed helicopter?” Steward Bai asked.
“Three vials of premium third-tier strength enhancement elixirs, ordered by a seller from Black Rock City…”
“Good, then take three vials of the premium third-tier strength genetic elixirs and drop them in a suitable area…”
“Premium third-tier strength genetic elixir, isn’t this a bit…” Zhou Xi was surprised, those three were not cheap.
“A first-tier is too weak; even a numbers of ordinary people could dealt with it. With a third-tier, the mutation should be able to spread…”
“The success rate of the premium quality is not low, what if all of them succeed?!”
“Such luck doesn’t exist, the premium quality has only a 10% success rate, I don’t believe all three enhancements can succeed!” Steward Bai said indifferently.
Their group had been selling genetic elixirs for many years and naturally figured out how to increase the success rate.
Regardless of the grade, genetic elixirs are categorized from low to high quality as inferior, normal, premium, and perfect.
Each increase in quality comes with multiplication in price by many times, which ordinary people cannot afford.
“Also, choose a gathering place that could make good spread of them…”
“Understood, I’ll arrange it right away…”
Zhao Yu found out that the photovoltaic power generation equipment had been activated, and the team that went out to collect supplies had already charged eight off-road vehicles in advance. They also went out for several trips and brought back quite a lot of resources with the vehicles.
In particular, the rubber was brought back in quantities enough to manufacture dozens of cars.
Zhao Yu quickly went to the Tank Factory and successfully unlocked the option to manufacture armored vehicles.
When he excitedly clicked on the armored vehicle option, he realized that the materials needed for manufacturing these were vast and that each vehicle was a gold-guzzling beast.
With the lightest armored vehicle requiring over ten tons of materials, and that was just for one vehicle.
Among them, the heaviest model of the armored vehicle weighed a staggering 55 tons, its body clad in thick armor. “King of the Land” was no overstatement.
There were many types of armored vehicles, including wheeled armored cars and tracked vehicles, the latter more fittingly called tanks.
In terms of weaponry, there were machine cannons of various calibers, light and heavy machine guns with different rates of fire, and even muzzles capable of launching grenades.
Zhao Yu flipped through the options and was almost drooling; these were all genuine tanks.
Although the required materials were numerous, he figured he could assemble one.
Before Zhao Yu click on the assemble option, he realized something.
“All of them are oil-fueled…”
He found that regardless of the type of tank, all were diesel-powered; not a single one was electric.
Tanks, often weighing tens of tons, couldn’t possibly be powered by electricity, unless there was a more advanced power system available. For the current stage, the optimal system was diesel fuel.

It had been hard enough to be able to produce tanks, it is even harder to get diesel fuel now.
According to the description, each of these tanks was a major oil guzzler, consuming hundreds of liters of fuel per hundred kilometers, which was tens to hundreds of times more than a regular car.
If he wanted to deploy tanks, he would also need to produce a military fuel tanker to follow them around for refueling.
With no option, Zhao Yu only produced a few more rechargeable off-road vehicles and mounted various machine guns on their roofs.
These off-road vehicles were all standard military types and were not bulletproof, weighing only about one to two tons.
There were also military off-road vehicles with bulletproof capabilities, but naturally, they would change from rechargeable battery to fuel-powered.
Without fuel, Zhao Yu could only opt for electric cars for the time being.
Zhao Yu went back to the main base building and opened the system interface to check about today’s daily tasks.
” Daily Mission: Destroy the three vials of high-quality tier-three genetic elixirs that are exiled outside.”
” Huh?!”
Zhao Yu was startled for a moment as today’s mission was different from usual.
He was actually asked to destroy three vials of genetic elixirs!
“Not fighting zombies, not fighting alien species anymore?!”
This was the first time Zhao Yu had encountered such a mission, and he felt a sense of novelty. However, when he saw the location, he became nervous.
The map refreshed for the mission was far from the base, even farther than the school.
Zhao Yu calculated whether the off-road vehicles could return on a full charge.
What relieved him was that the off-road vehicles could make a round trip on a full charge.
“It seems that the system is planning the range of tasks according to my operational capabilities…”
“If I manage to get a tank, will it make me go destroy a city?!”
Zhao Yu wished that the system would continue to requested him on killing a few alien species as a complete task, as it had before.
Zhao Yu began to prepare.
Glancing at his tech points, which had naturally grown, he had reached 54 points.
“Considering the round trip time, 1 could use six or seven tech points…”
Zhao Yu preferred build the power station first, and then develop the remaining to mine, resource recycling furnace, and chemical plant.
Although these buildings didn’t seem to make a significant improvement in the short term—only allowing the production of ammunition—in the long run, the mining plant would actively collect resources useful for the base.
The resource recycling furnace could break down and store various types of resources, and many high-tech products required the artificial chemical elements produced by the chemical plant.
These three buildings were the stepping stone for the long-term development of Zhao Yu’s base.
Zhao Yu directly trained 10 more soldiers.
This expanded his soldier count to 91.
As usual, he left 20 members of the guard team to stay at the base with an additional engineer, whom Zhao Yu ordered him to stay inside the base.
The remaining 70 were all brought along.
A total of 15 off-road vehicles were produced, each equipped with a machine gun on the roof.
In fact, 70 people only needed 10 vehicles, but Zhao Yu thought if he saw some resources along the way, he could also collect them.
When Zhao Yu led the 15 off-road vehicles past the east gate, Eagle and others who were watching from a distance were shocked.
“15 vehicles, each nearly full of people…”
“Is this his own army or reinforcement form the Re Zhao?!”
With Zhao Yu’s reinforcements growing increasingly numerous, it would be difficult for them to have an equal conversation as they had before.
“Judging by the time, Lord Meng and the others should be almost arrived at
Black Stone City….”
