"Even aliens don't know about the zombie virus?" Ou Haosheng chuckled bitterly, "Our Earth really is unfortunate!"
"Minister, we are still very lucky; at least we have Bai Tang here," Tian Yuan interjected.
"Right, right, with Comrade Bai here, we are indeed very lucky." Ou Haosheng nodded repeatedly. "Comrade Bai, do aliens eat the same food as us Earthlings?"
"Most of it is the same," Bai Tang replied. "Minister Ou, are you asking me to help you buy more food? Is the base's food supply not enough?"
"For now, it is sufficient. But we need to think long-term; the more food we can stockpile, the better!"
"Aren't you researching soilless cultivation technology?" Bai Tang asked.
"Although we've made some progress, it can only be cultivated in the lab and cannot be widely promoted due to high costs!" Zhao Nan said. "Our researchers hope to improve the raw materials for soilless cultivation every sixteen hours, but progress is slow."
"We could ask Alien Friends for help!" Tian Yuan suggested optimistically.
Bai Tang immediately rejected this idea: "The materials on Earth are not the same as those on my friends' planet, and the environments are different. Although they could quickly develop soilless cultivation technology with their skills, it wouldn't be suitable for Earth. It's better for us to research it ourselves. You don't need to worry about food; I will handle the procurement."
Ou Haosheng and Zhao Nan were immensely grateful: "Comrade Bai, do you need gold or Crystal Cores?"
"Gold, please!" Although gold is a universal currency, its value in the apocalypse is not as high as that of Crystal Cores. In fact, Bai Tang had a greater demand for gold since it was the universal currency in the game shop.
Ou Haosheng and Zhao Nan felt even more thankful towards Bai Tang. Knowing that Crystal Cores contain energy and are much more useful than gold, yet choosing gold instead of Crystal Cores must be for the sake of the country. What a good comrade!
The two vehicles smoothly drove into the interior of the Underground Base. Once parked, Ou Haosheng and Zhao Nan rushed out of their vehicle and ran over to another car. Bai Tang understood their feelings and opened the trunk with Karen, pulling out twenty boxes each about a foot long.
Having witnessed future space folding technology before, Ou Haosheng and Zhao Nan were not surprised at this moment but stared at the twenty boxes with anticipation. Bai Tang placed ten of them in front of the four of them and opened them one by one. Instantly, weapons gleaming with a ghostly light dazzled their eyes.
"There are a thousand guns in each box, totaling ten thousand."
“Bai Tang, what kind of gun is this? How do you use it?” Tian Yuan quickly grabbed a gun and noticed its beautiful design. He couldn't help but want to claim it for himself.
“This is an energy gun. The beam it fires can penetrate steel plates up to ten meters thick. Even if zombies evolve to level six or seven, it can still kill them,” Bai Tang also took out an energy gun and demonstrated how to operate it for the others.
Ou Haosheng and the other two each grabbed a gun and followed Bai Tang to learn how to use it. Karen glanced at the excited group with indifference; they were just obsolete weapons, yet these people were so thrilled, it was truly a lack of experience.
Operating the energy gun was very simple, and soon, all four not only learned how to operate it but also how to assemble it.
“Wow, this gun is amazing! From now on, I can walk around confidently when I encounter zombies,” Tian Yuan exclaimed, whistling in excitement. No wonder they were so thrilled; the highest level of zombies now was only level three, and these guns would definitely take them out in an instant!
“This gun isn’t for you!” Zhu Xu said.
“What?” Tian Yuan responded indignantly, “Brother, how can you treat me like this?”
“Zhu Xu is right; you’ve already started Cultivation, so you won’t need a gun. These guns should be allocated to those comrades who have neither abilities nor can Cultivate,” Ou Haosheng said with a smile. With such powerful energy guns, equipping the military with ten thousand of them would surely help reclaim the urban area of the capital!
Tian Yuan understood their thoughts; indeed, these weapons were originally requested by him from Bai Tang for those brothers without abilities who couldn’t Cultivate. How could he take away what was meant for them? But before these energy guns were distributed, he could at least play with them a little longer, right?
“Bai Tang, how long does the energy in the energy gun last before it's depleted? Can it be recharged?” Zhao Nan asked the crucial question.
“A fully charged energy gun can fire two thousand energy beams. Once depleted, it can be recharged using a Crystal Core,” Bai Tang pulled out the schematics for the energy gun. “This is the schematic for making the energy gun; it’s detailed. If you replace the materials with those from Earth, you can still make one, but its power will be somewhat less. It will only be able to kill level three to four zombies and can fire only five hundred energy beams.”
“That’s enough!” Zhao Nan quickly snatched the schematics. “I’ll arrange for people to start researching and making this immediately!”
He left everyone behind in a hurry.
“Bai Tang, what are in those other ten boxes?” Tian Yuan asked while fondling his gun, filled with curiosity. Could those ten boxes contain energy cannons?
Bai Tang smiled slightly and winked mysteriously. “Guess!”
"Energy cannon?" Tian Yuan asked.
Bai Tang shook his head.
"O Haosheng: 'High-efficiency bomb?'"
Bai Tang shook his head again.
"Zhu Xu: 'Armored vehicle?'"
He shook his head.
"It can't be what I'm thinking, right?" Tian Yuan exclaimed in surprise, his mouth wide open.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Tang asked.
"A mech?" Tian Yuan asked cautiously.
"Congratulations, you got it right!" Bai Tang smiled.
The three of them jumped up as if they had been pricked by a needle on their backsides.
"Is it really a mech? You're not joking?" O Haosheng asked loudly.
Bai Tang nodded.
"Wow..." The three of them were so excited that their faces turned red, circling around the ten unopened boxes.
"Bai Tang, hurry and open the boxes so we mere mortals can worship the mech!" Tian Yuan exclaimed, dancing with excitement.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's take a look!" Ou Haosheng exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, mechas have been my dream since I was young!"
Zhu Xu, though silent, locked his intensely fiery gaze on Bai Tang.
Bai Tang quickly opened two boxes, and immediately, two imposing mechas appeared before the three of them.
"They're really mechas!" Tian Yuan nearly drooled.
Ou Haosheng caressed the mecha's exterior like a lover: "Zhao Nan is definitely going to regret this."
Zhu Xu asked, "Can I try piloting one?"
The other two immediately looked at Bai Tang with anticipation.
Bai Tang had no reason to refuse, so he opened another box and released a mecha, instructing the three on how to operate it. After half an hour, all three were able to maneuver the mechas skillfully. During this time, their vigorous movements attracted others who came to investigate, leading to a scramble for the mechas as everyone wanted to take a turn.
"I'll report to the higher-ups immediately; tomorrow our army will be driving mechas and armed with energy guns to reclaim the urban area of Beijing!" Ou Haosheng declared boldly.
"Good luck to you!" Bai Tang smiled with squinted eyes, deciding to follow the army into the city for some experience points.
October 28, 2016, marked a historic day—the day humanity reclaimed Beijing. It was a turning point in the apocalypse; from this moment on, humanity shifted from passive to active, gradually reclaiming territories occupied by zombies and ultimately exterminating them, restoring Earth under human control. As a witness, Bai Tang saw everything unfold and participated personally.
On October 27, 2016, an announcement echoed through the Beijing Base, delivering shocking news: the army would attack the urban area of Beijing tomorrow to reclaim it. Hunters interested in this operation could follow behind the army into the city and keep all the supplies they obtained.
This news caused a tremendous stir within the base; however, most people were skeptical about the operation. Many believed that the government and military had lost their minds—valuing soldiers' lives so little and attempting something so dangerous would surely end in failure. They would not accompany the military to their deaths. A portion of people thought that fortune favored the bold; even if the army couldn't defeat zombies, they could take advantage of the chaos during combat to gather supplies. Only a small group of those slightly in-the-know believed in the base's strength and decided to follow it into the city to make a name for themselves as heroes reclaiming Beijing...
The next morning, everyone at the base surged toward the entrance. Regardless of whether they believed in success or failure, they all came with admiration to send off the soon-to-depart heroes. Many internally lamented that those heroes likely wouldn't return. But when the fully armed army arrived at the entrance, many were left stunned: what weapons were they holding? Why had they never seen them before? Could these be new weapons secretly developed by research institutes? No wonder the higher-ups organized this operation; they must have great confidence in these new weapons! What kind of power did they possess? Some hunters began to waver—should they join in?
In the next moment, everyone was shocked. What did they see? What were those ten towering structures that reached three stories high?
"Wow! Am I dreaming? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me? I actually saw a Mecha!" A young person with dyed Huang Mao rubbed their eyes.
"You’re not seeing things; I saw the Mecha too," said the chubby person next to Huang Mao in a dreamy voice. "We must both be dreaming!"
Huang Mao pinched the soft flesh of their arm and twisted it hard.
"Ouch!" The chubby person jumped up in pain.
"Does it hurt?" Huang Mao asked.
The chubby person nodded with tears in their eyes.
"Then it's not a dream! Chubby, it's real; we really saw a Mecha!" Huang Mao shouted excitedly.
"Wait? Really?" The chubby person forgot about the pain. "Wow, Huang Mao, those Mecha look so cool! Too bad I lost my phone; I can't take pictures of the Mecha!" (To be continued...)
