Soldiers, Land infantry, and special forces consumed 1, 2, and 3 points respectively.
He was still lacking in supplies. If he trained more soldiers, he could have more people to transport supplies.
Three hours later, all the eight soldiers made two were bringing back more than ten aliens corpses.
Zhao Yu used the remaining 21 points to train the soldiers.
The training time was 105 minutes. During this period, he naturally gained 2 Technology Points and invested them into the training camp.
Two hours later, Zhao Yu had an additional 23 soldiers under his command.
As a result, Zhao Yu now had a total of 71 soldiers, including 60 soldiers, 10 land infantry, and 1 special force.
At the same time, the 20 soldiers who had gone out to search for tires also returned.
They had brought back nearly forty tires in total, averaging two per person.
Putting these tires into the recycling furnace of the Tank factory yielded enough resources to produce eight military off-road vehicles.
Eight imposing military off-road vehicles appeared at the base.
Zhao Yu also exchanged for eight vehicle-mounted machine guns and installed them on the roofs of the eight off-road vehicles.
He also created a hatch above the middle seats inside the vehicle, allowing someone to climb out and operate the machine gun.
The bullets brought back from the farm totaled over ten thousand, most of the bullets were for pistols and rifles. There weren’t many that were compatible with the machine guns—just over a thousand. It seemed like a lot, but given the firing rate of machine guns, they would run out quickly.
Zhao Yu reserved two hundred bullets, evenly distributed among the five fixed machine gun positions within the base, and the rest were allocated to the eight off-road vehicles.
The remaining bullets for rifles and pistols were distributed among the seventy-one soldiers under him, averaging to just over a hundred bullets per person.
With sufficient bullets, the previously used cold weapons strategy were naturally set aside to reduce the risk of getting injury, with each soldier only being standard-issued two military sabers to carry with them for emergency.
Finally, Zhao Yu checked the location of the daily tasks with confident.
According to the map, the school infested with zombies was located to the east of the base, at a distance of about a hundred kilometers—a place Zhao Yu had never explored.
Subsequently, Zhao Yu checked the battery level of the off-road vehicles. As soon as they were made, Zhao Yu had them pulled to the entrance of the base to be charged.
After depleting all of the base’s reserve electricity for the day, only half of the batteries were fully charged, which would allow the fully loaded vehicles to travel three hundred and fifty kilometers—enough for this mission.
After making all the necessary preparations, Zhao Yu gave the order to depart.
Except for the twenty members of the guard team who stayed behind to defend the base, the other fifty-one soldiers were all brought along.
All seven-seater off-road vehicles had plenty of room for the fifty-one soldiers, with enough space left over for some reserve food supplies, sufficient to last the soldiers for two days.
Zhao Yu had considered bringing all the soldiers along but ultimately decided not to do so.
He was concerned that if someone with ill intentions attacked his base in his absence, and if the base’s vehicle armor were breached, then it would be disastrous.
Some members of the guard team would always remain at the base, and Zhao Yu planned to expand the guard team later on to make the base more secure.
“What are you doing?!”
The group had only just started moving towards the eastern gate. Suddenly, two people jumped out and blocking the path of the vehicles.
Zhao Yu was in the third vehicle with the first two vehicles leading the way.
He poked his head out to take a look at the front.
The two people blocking the road were from the eastern camp, specifically those who had been left behind to monitor Zhao Yu and his group previously.
At this moment, the two of them were visibly nervous, sweating profusely as they looked at the machine guns mounted on the roofs of the off-road vehicles.
They had not expected that in just one day, Zhao Yu would have replenished their forces with so many soldiers and even had vehicles ready to go.
Zhao Yu immediately got out of the vehicle.
As he moved, the rest of the soldiers quickly followed after him.
Facing the crowd of soldiers, the watchers were frightened, retreating continuously with their guns shaking in their hands, unsure of whom they should aim at.
“Don’t be nervous!”
Zhao Yu came to the front, waved his hand, and said, “We have a mission, we are heading east…”
“Is that so…”
They were afraid that Zhao Yu was coming for their camp. Upon reflection, if he really was coming after their camp, an silent ambush would be more effective than driving here to expose themselves.
“Um, Centurion Zhao… could you wait a moment, we need to report this?!”
“When you were allowed to set up camp near the power plant, it was never said that the eastern gate was under your control…”
“But all our people are near the eastern gate, and we don’t want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings…”
“Where is Meng Xian? Call her to see me!”
Zhao Yu didn’t want to talk with these underlings and directly asked for the person in charge.
Times had changed; now that he was well-armed and had machine guns, he naturally wasn’t afraid of Meng Xian.
“Centurion Zhao, please wait, someone has already gone to report…”
“Clear the way!”
Zhao Yu shouted coldly again, as his group of more than fifty people and their off-road vehicles were being delayed by some nonsensical reasons, which was genuinely irritating.
Instantly, over fifty guns were aimed squarely at the two people..
