Chapter 400: Expansion of the Camp!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Two days later.

Zhao Yu's 500 soldiers were also trained. Most of them went to Wild Wolf Town, while a small number stayed in the base.

The situation in Wild Wolf Town had become relatively stable, and in the his soldiers had sent a large amount of resources back to the base in the past few days.

However, Zhao Yu didn't order his soldiers to bring back food. After all, there were more than 5,000 people there who needed to be fed.

The Centurion's latest message was about the industries in Wild Wolf Town. Currently, there were three fixed industries in Wild Wolf Town. One was the firearms processing factory, which processed firearms parts for the Han family.

The other was a farm. Wild Wolf Town occupied a good location of the terraced fields. The annual food production was not low, almost close to the fallout shelter volume.

The farmlands were only enough to feed 1,000 people a year, remarking on the harsh living conditions of the 5,000 people in Wild Wolf Town.

This is simply raising people like livestock…”

According to the Centurion, the people of Wild Wolf Town were all emaciated and skinny. They didn't even have the strength to fight, let alone resist. All they did every day was work and lie at home.

The last one was an iron mine, but it was basically self-sufficient and rarely sold iron ore.

It was unlike the Black Wind Stronghold that he had gone to before, where he could only sell the raw ores to Black Rock City at a low price.

Zhao Yu then reflected on his 'technology points' which had reached 361.

The extra 150 points gained from completing daily tasks and natural growth. These points could be used for building construction or soldier recruitment. Anticipating a possible attack from the Han family once they discovered his occupation of Wolf Town.

Zhao Yu planned to use the remaining points to recruit more soldiers However, this time he didn't use all the points for soldiers, considering their limited combat capabilities.

Soldiers could guard the territory as guards, but they were not satisfactory in real battles.

After consideration, Zhao Yu used 61 points to add more soldiers and the remaining 300 points to recruit various scarce types of special soldiers, such as IT soldiers and professional Demolition Soldiers, with most of the points allocated for creating elite special forces.

The majority of Zhao Yu's remaining technology points were used to create elite special forces.

He successfully produced two squads, totaling of 40 elite soldiers capable of executing complex combat missions.

In the following days, besides building troops at the base, Zhao Yu also made a trip to the east gate. There, he hired people from Meng House Village to help construct their camp.

With the addition of people from Wild Wolf Town, Zhao Yu's ambitions grew and he expanded the planned camp size by threefold.

During this time, a soldier from Wolf Town hurried back to report an unexpected development.

” Black Rock City sent people to Wild Wolf Town?!”

Zhao Yu was having thought he could keep the occupation of Wild Wolf Town a secret for a longer period, but the Han family had acted faster than anticipated. After learning the details, Zhao Yu's expression turned bitter.

It wasn't that the Han family had discovered the takeover of Wild Wolf Town; instead, the visitors were there for a routine check of the firearms parts being sent to Black Rock City.

This kind of thing could have been done by Wild Wolf Town alone, but there were always people in Black Rock City who wanted to take the opportunity to make money.

Such inspections were normally a formality, but it was also an opportunity for some in Black Rock City to extract bribes.

Typically, Wild Wolf Town's Li Yang would entertain these inspectors lavishly and offer them a personal donation before they left.

However, the envoy of thirteen, representing the Han family, was captured upon arrival.

The centurion, unsure how to handle the situation, sent a messenger to Zhao Yu for instructions.

After some thought, Zhao Yu decided to go to Wolf Town himself.

Two hours later, he arrived at Wild Wolf Town.

As the centurion described in his letter, the residents were emaciated and lifeless, resembling walking corpses, which dismayed Zhao Yu.

Upon reaching the place where the envoys were detained, he found that they had been subjected to some rough treatment.

This was not unusual; such individuals often needed to be coerced into cooperation.

Despite the harsh treatment, some still refused to compromise.

I m a member of the Han family. Are you looking to death?”

“Where's Li Yang? Get him out…”

Only the second son of the Han family knew of Li Yang's death, and it had not been widely publicized.

Hence, those beneath him still believed Wild Wolf Town was under Li Yang's control.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu had an idea and went to the room of an envoy who had already compromised.

This envoy had confessed everything at the first sign of torture, revealing not only the purpose of their visit but also many private matters.

How long does it usually take for you to return to Black Rock City?” Zhao Yu asked.

“Three days, it's not too far from here…”

The Han family in Black Rock City would notice the absence of the envoy sooner than he had expected.

“If I let you go, can you keep a secret for me?”

Yes, yes, we won't say anything,” the envoy hurriedly assured, eager to cooperate with Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu smiled and left the room.

He did not believe such words.

He then ordered the rapid transportation of valuable materials from Wild Wolf Town, aiming to relocate everything within three days.

In addition, He also planned to take over the 5000 laborers from Wild Wolf Town.

He ordered a selection of 1000 people from the weapons parts factory to be moved to the base to build a camp capable of housing at least 5000 people. However, before leaving, Zhao Yu gathered these 1000 people to speak with them.

In the pre-apocalyptic world, managing a group of a thousand would have been noisy and disorderly.

But now, these people were silent and cowering, too scared to even lift their heads, appearing completely submissive.

Zhao Yu sighed, feeling no desire to say much. He simply promised them that under his command, they would at least have enough food and clothing. For these people, just having enough to eat was a blessing.

Even this modest promise elicited looks of disbelief and mistrust from them. Seeing the distrust in their eyes, Zhao Yu understood that they probably didn't believe that the person in power was so kind.

“Alright, let's set off!”

The convoy was ready, with about 50 people per truck, and they moved everyone in one trip.

After sorting out these matters, Zhao Yu left the minor details to the centurion and hurried back to the base.

By the time he returned, the 1000 people from Wild Wolf Town had been arranged in the camp outside the east gate and had started working.

With the addition of three major buildings, materials like steel and concrete became easier to produce, speeding up the camp construction, which had been progressing slowly.

Zhao Yu didn't need to oversee this as he went to the war vehicle factory and produced twenty mining trucks, all of which were sent to Wild Wolf Town.

With the Han family's discovery imminent in three days, he knew he couldn't take the farmland and mines with him, and the weapons parts factory was no use to him.

The farmland was untouchable; without guarding it, Zhao Yu couldn't take it with him, so he focused on extracting as many resources as possible from the mines.

With 20 mining trucks and 4000 workers from Wild Wolf Town, he expected to mine a significant amount of ore over the next three days.

At six in the evening, the daily mission refreshed.

Zhao Yu glanced at it and found it to be a simple task of clearing out mutant creatures.

This time, he didn't go himself but sent a Sergeant commander and 20 elite special forces.

Skillfully led, these 20 special forces could easily defeat a hundred opponents, especially the unskilled mutants.

As expected, the mission was completed in five hours, earning Zhao Yu an additional 50 technology points.

Another day later.

The camp outside the east gate had begun to take shape with a large area of row houses emerging.

Zhao Yu had the capacity to build high-rise buildings, but time was of the essence, so he focused on row houses.

He built 500 bungalows, 20 in each row, a total of 25 rows.

The buildings constructed by Zhao Yu weren't residential buildings, but temporary dormitories

Each unit, over fifty square meters in size, temporarily housed ten people. Thankfully, with bunk beds, accommodating ten people in fifty square meters wasn't too cramped. More importantly, these conditions were far better than those in Wild Wolf Town.

According to the workers description, dozens of people had to squeeze into one house there, sleeping on the ground, unlike here where they had beds and bedding.

During his inspections, Zhao Yu noticed that the workers seemed to have gained some respect for him.

Previously, whenever they encountered him, they would only dare to lower their heads, afraid of offending him.

But now, some of the workers not only looked up at Zhao Yu but also showed gratitude.

Of course, other than the place they lived in, what really changed these workers was their food.

Beyond the living conditions, what really changed the workers' attitude was the food. The meals prepared by the cooks were tasty and filling, making the thousand workers consider staying and working for Zhao Yu for a lifetime.

After the temporary dormitory capable of housing 5000 people was completed, Zhao Yu reorganized their tasks.

He divided the 1000 workers into two groups: one responsible for clearing and flattening the land for construction.

The other for building the planned structures on the cleared land.

Zhao Yu's original camp construction plan had been revised many times.

From the village level in the beginning, he had now escalated to a city-level construction plan.

Of course, the project looked very high-end, but in fact, the project was still far from its ambitious appearance.

While the camp was being built at a rapid pace, Meng Xian and others, who had gone to the old city to collect gasoline, finally returned.

They were shocked to see Zhao Yu's camp outside the east gate, which had expanded to more than ten times its original size compared to their camp..
