” 52 Technology Points…”

Zhao Yu stood at the entrance of the training camp.

According to his previous plan, he intended to develop a mining plant and a chemical plant.

With external enemies present, these constructions would have to be postponed.

He always felt insecure without sufficient military power.

After deliberating for a moment, Zhao Yu made a decision. First, he spent 40 technology points to train 40 soldiers, bringing the total number of soldiers to 100.

This was equivalent to having a guard team, and the daily security work of the base would be entrusted to them.

Of course, he didn’t need so many people right now. The reason he trained so many was to send them to a secret military base for construction, accelerating the building process.

Next, Zhao Yu spent another 10 technology points to train 5 land infantry, replenishing the squad of the Sergeant to full strength.

With this, the number of soldiers under his command surpassed 150, making his position as a centurion seem insufficient.

Zhao Yu directly exchanged for a few sets of commander uniforms.

He promoted himself to a Military Governor capable of managing five hundred people.

Zhao Yu temporarily handed over the base’s security issues to the sergeant commander, entrusting him with the 20 strongest soldiers and also giving him two drone pilots.

Currently, he didn’t have many enemies, mainly guarding against retaliation from Wild Wolf Town.

The remaining soldiers were divided into two groups. One group of 20 was sent to the camp outside the eastern gate to supervise the work of the newly joined fifty plus residents and to ensure their safety.

The remaining eighty soldiers were taken by Zhao Yu to the secret base to join the bustling tree-cutting operation.

A day passed in a flash.

The next day, Zhao Yu received some good news.

The secret base had cleared a space, ready for the relocation of the base.

Given that the photovoltaic power plant was not very secure, only by moving the base to the secret military base could ensure their safety..

After ensuring that no one was spying around, Zhao Yu quickly packed up the base, transforming it into a base car, and drove it to the secret military base to set it up again.

After completing these tasks, Zhao Yu returned to the photovoltaic power plant and instructed the engineers to weld a few iron lumps, placing them where the base building was originally located. They were covered with tarpaulins for a basic disguise.

“Any news from Wild Wolf Town?”

“None!”

As early as yesterday, Zhao Yu had sent out 5 Recon Soldiers to keep an eye on the movements of Wild Wolf Town.

For this reason, he even spent a lot of points to get a set of communication equipment to facilitate the communication between the recon soldiers and the base.

The matter of declaring war had already been handed over to Eagle. When exactly the message would be conveyed, Zhao Yu didn’t know.

These were minor issues. For Zhao Yu, the more time he could buy, the better.

Given enough time, he would even dare to take a shot at Black Rock City.

Of course, he didn’t have the strength for that yet.

This time, there were no tasks related to Wild Wolf Town, just a mission to clear out mutants in the old city, which seemed mundane.

“It’s a good opportunity to collect some gasoline and fireworks…”

This task wasn’t bad. Zhao Yu got up and went to the Meng House Village camp to find Eagle.

“You’re going to the old city?”

“Yeah, do you have any experience?”

Eagle didn’t ponder the purpose of Zhao Yu’s trip to the old city and directly offered some advice.

“Firstly, don’t bring too many people. The old city has mutated beasts, radiation beasts, and mutants. Having too many people is not conducive to staying hidden. Once exposed, it’s over…”

“Secondly, be cautious of other humans…”

“Huh?!”

Zhao Yu quickly asked, “What do you mean?”

“The old city is not small; before the apocalypse, it was a large city capable of accommodating millions of people, with abundant resources stored inside…” “Although it’s now a territory of monsters and much of the resources in the outskirts have been scavenged over the years, it’s still a prime scavenging location for many…”

“Not only people from the wilderness go to the old city, but also those from Black Rock City, as well as Jaoyue City to the east and Nanguo City to the south…”

Zhao Yu had heard of Jaoyue City and Nanguo City, which were also new cities established after the apocalypse.

One to the south and one to the east, at least three hundred kilometers away from their location, so they were not as well-known as Black Rock City.

However, these new cities were similarly distanced from the old city, and their construction likely took advantage of the resources in the old city.

In the current era, characterized by scarcity, scavenging in the old city was not solely for oil.

Many actually went there for cars and their parts.

Black Rock City did not have the capability to build cars independently.

The operational cars they had either came from the pre-apocalypse era or were imported at a high price from other cities.

Besides cars, other high-tech products were also scarce in Black Rock City.

In essence, BlackRock City was a typical local city, able to dominate locally but struggling to expand its influence.

Of course, for the rulers of Black Rock City, the most valuable trade was not in weapons..
