Gold Shortage
Bei Du, command room.
Lin Liye and the other leaders all looked solemn.
There was a glass jar on the table, and in the jar was a zombie’s arm.
” According to the laboratory’s analysis and research…
“The virus contained in this arm is very similar to the virus that Captain Lin brought back from the opening of the gong.”
“It can be inferred that these zombies from the southwest have something to do with the ones that Captain Lin killed in the pyramid.”
A researcher reported.
“F * ck! Did you still let the virus leak out?!”
Lin Liye slammed the table.
The table shattered again.
This was already the third table that they had changed to.
He had experienced so many dangers with Wang Ran and the others in Africa before. It was not easy for them to kill those monsters and even blow up the pyramid. He did not expect that the ancient virus would still leak out. “Have our outposts in the southwest been completely wiped out?” The veins on Lin Liye’s forehead were throbbing.
“The warrior who risked his life to send this arm back also died just now.”
” The outposts in the southwest have all been destroyed…”
A soldier said with a sob.
Everyone was silent.
The Southwestern Outpost was guarded by a Level 5 Metahuman.
He did not expect to be defeated so quickly.
“Now is not the time to be sad.”
“According to the report, the zombies coming from the southwest are powerful and in large numbers. The threat is far greater than the previous zombie tide.”
“We should prepare defensive measures as soon as possible.”
Instructor Li reminded.
‘What Coach Li said is…”
Lin Liye nodded and quickly calmed down.
“If these mutated zombies continue to kill their way here, the cities that have just recovered along the way will suffer.”
“We have to rush to the front line to stop them.” How’s the production progress of our kinetic skeleton?”
Lin Liye asked.
” There’s no problem in terms of production. In terms of production capacity, we can produce 200 sets of D-class kinetic skeletons for level-I and level-2 metahumans every day.”
“The only problem is…l’m in short supply of materials…” Coach Li sighed.
“Gold is the core material of the kinetic skeleton.”
‘ Creating a D-grade kinetic skeleton requires 10 kilograms of gold.” “Your A-class exoskeleton requires at least 50 kilograms.”
“Our gold is running out…”
Coach Li frowned.
Ever since they found out that gold could increase the strength of Awakened ones, Awakened ones from all over the world had frantically searched for all kinds of gold reserves.
The vault had basically been robbed clean.
Even the survivors in Bei Du had secretly hoarded a lot of gold.
Originally, Bei Du’s gold reserves were still okay. Ever since he started making kinetic skeletons, his gold reserves were a little insufficient.
“Why don’t we mobilize the masses and ask them to hand over some gold?”
Lin Liye suggested.
“I think it’s difficult…
“Human nature…Sigh…
Coach Li sighed.
During such times, people would tighten their grip on important resources.
The effect of mobilization was minimal…
“Gold..Ah!”
Lin Liye’s eyes suddenly lit up.
The person with the most gold reserves was his son-in-law, Wang Ran!
He had heard from Wang Ran that N City’s gold reserves had already exceeded 100 tons.
Coupled with the fact that Wang Ran’s subordinates would occasionally go out to sweep the surrounding cities, as well as Wang Ran’s trade routes, the speed at which they earned gold was unimaginable.
If he could get some gold from Wang Ran, the production of kinetic skeletons would not stop!
However, Lin Liye also knew that no matter how good their relationship was, he could not ask for such important resources for free.
He couldn’t let Wang Ran suffer a loss. He had to use something to exchange for it.
After thinking for a while, Lin Liye looked at Coach Li.
Coach Li, I know someone who has a lot of gold.”
“He should be willing to provide it to us, but we need to exchange it with something of corresponding value.”
Lin Liye said seriously.
“Is it the leader of the Awakened ones in N City that you mentioned before?” Instructor Li’s eyes lit up.
Lin Liye would praise N City and Wang Ran every two or three days. Coach Li was tired of listening to him.
‘ But, what does Bei Du have that can be exchanged for gold?” “You said before that they basically don’t lack supplies, right?”
Coach Li asked.
‘ They don’t lack ordinary resources, but…” “What if we trade kinetic skeletons?” Lin Liye smiled. ” Mechanical exoskeleton???” “This…”
Everyone was stunned.
“Think about it. For us, the only thing that limits our production is gold.” “Without gold, we can’t continue to make exoskeletons.”
“If we exchange a portion of the exoskeleton for gold, not only will it not limit our strength, but it will also allow us to obtain an endless stream of gold.” “This is a good thing for both sides!”
“Moreover, the core technology of the kinetic skeleton is in our hands. We don’t have to worry about being copied by others after it gets out.’
” For example, the cost of manufacturing a D-grade kinetic skeleton is 10 kilograms of gold and some other materials of similar value, plus the cost of production and research and development.
“We can sell it to them for 50 kilograms of gold.” “This price is quite suitable for both parties. What do you think?”
Lin Liye looked around at the people present.
“I think so.” “I agree!”
“I agree too!”
Everyone present expressed their opinions.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
‘ But there’s one thing we need to take note of. We have to ensure that at least half of the kinetic skeletons are reserved for Bei Du’s own use.” ‘ Now that the zombies are attacking, our army needs this equipment.”
Instructor Li instructed.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” “I’ll contact the people in N City later.”
Lin Liye nodded.
Great, the problem of the gold shortage was finally solved.
Now, it was about the zombies.
‘ Do you have any way to deal with the large number of zombies?”
Coach Li asked.
“Bei Du is still the last obstacle that we need to defend.”
‘ However, there are still many survivors in the cities along the way. If we let the zombies kill their way here, those survivors might…”
“I think we need to send troops out to stop the zombies.”
“Firstly, it can slow down the speed of the zombie invasion and give the survivors in the cities behind enough time to evacuate.”
Secondly, we need to buy more time so that we can produce more kinetic skeletons. That way, we will be stronger.”
Lin Liye thought for a moment and said..
