In the conference room.
The high-ranking officials of the New White City survivor camp were in a heated discussion, seemingly treating Xu Zhengyang's shelter as if it were already their own.
Some were even starting to argue over the distribution of benefits.
Seeing everyone getting further off-topic.
Zhang Wei's face darkened, and he shouted, "Quiet!"
...
After a moment.
Once everyone had regained their composure, Zhang Wei spoke, "We haven't even started yet, and you're already eager to divide the cake?
Hmph!"
Zhang Wei snorted coldly.
Then he turned to Zhou Jiaming and asked, "Jiaming, with our current forces and giving you full autonomy.
Do you have the confidence to take down the North Suburb Shelter?"
Zhou Jiaming pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If the North Suburb Shelter's greatest reliance is those robots.
No problem, I can take it down!"
Hearing this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but get excited and asked, "What tactics do you plan to use?"
"EMP!" Zhou Jiaming said succinctly.
As soon as Zhou Jiaming finished speaking.
The balding, overweight man asked in confusion, "What is EMP?"
Seeing that at least half of the people in the conference room were looking at him with puzzled eyes, Zhou Jiaming had no choice but to explain, "EMP stands for electromagnetic pulse.
An electromagnetic pulse can destroy the circuits of all electronic devices, rendering them completely inoperative.
So as long as I bring the shelter's EMP generator, no matter how many robots the North Suburb has, I can take them down without any casualties!"
Upon hearing Zhou Jiaming's explanation, the eyes of the high-ranking officials in the conference room lit up, and they all became excited!
The most active balding man even stood up and loudly praised Zhou Jiaming, "As expected of Director Zhou, truly impressive!
Using EMP will only destroy the robots' circuit boards, leaving their hardware intact. After we take over his shelter.
We can even try to repair these robots ourselves!"
"Sit down! What kind of behavior is this?" Zhang Wei suppressed his joy and scolded the balding man.
Then he took a deep breath and said to everyone, "In that case, let's start the vote now.
Those in favor of attacking the North Suburb Shelter, please raise your hands!"
After speaking.
Zhang Wei himself raised his right hand first.
Immediately after.
Everyone present raised their hands in agreement, with the balding man even excitedly raising both of his hands! Seeing this, Zhang Wei nodded in satisfaction, then immediately said to Zhou Jiaming, "No time to waste! Jiaming.
Go back now and organize the troops, launch the attack immediately!"
"Yes."
Zhou Jiaming stood up and saluted Zhang Wei.
"Alright."
Zhang Wei nodded, then hypocritically instructed Zhou Jiaming, "Go ahead, try to only target the machines, don't harm people.
There must be many talented individuals in that shelter, and we can all work together to rebuild New White City."
"I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
With that, Zhou Jiaming immediately turned and left the conference room.
...
After a moment.
Once Zhou Jiaming had gone far enough, Zhang Wei then said to everyone, "While Jiaming is out doing the work, let's discuss how to divide this cake.
So that later, no one ends up fighting over petty gains and making a mess, embarrassing everyone..."
...
*Meanwhile.
While Xu Zhengyang and Da Bai were separately eliminating the zombies near White City, Da Bai suddenly said to Xu Zhengyang, "Master, all the combat robots we previously sold to the New White City survivor camp have been disarmed and locked up."
"Oh?" Xu Zhengyang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and slowed down his zombie-clearing speed, asking Da Bai, "Did the robots over there hear any special news?"
"No," Da Bai replied.
Then, Da Bai quickly added, "But the robots we sold to the New White City survivor camp were taken to different rooms and disarmed and locked up simultaneously!"
"..."
Although it was unclear what the New White City survivor camp was up to, this sudden action was obviously unusual! Xu Zhengyang made an immediate decision.
He instructed Da Bai, "All deployed combat units are to enter patrol mode and take a rest on the spot. Let's first figure out what the New White City survivors are up to!"
After speaking, Xu Zhengyang and Da Bai's consciousness instantly returned to the shelter.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang said to Da Bai again, "Have the satellite monitor them in real-time to see what they're really up to!"
"Understood, Master," Da Bai responded, immediately sending the real-time satellite footage to Xu Zhengyang's smart glasses.
Then, Da Bai nervously said to Xu Zhengyang, "The New White City survivor camp is assembling their troops!"
Before the apocalypse, the New White City survivor camp had stationed a regiment!
However, most of the soldiers were infected by the Blood Plague and turned into zombies.
The New White City survivor camp had finally cleared out the zombies here, leaving only about two companies of soldiers, roughly 250 to 260 people.
Now, at the forefront of the New White City survivor camp was a special vehicle that somewhat resembled a radar truck.
Behind this vehicle were six tanks, over twenty armored vehicles, and two trucks, all rapidly charging towards Xu Zhengyang's shelter! Judging by this formation, the New White City survivor camp was almost fully mobilized!
"Are they really coming for me?" Xu Zhengyang was momentarily stunned, then a thought crossed his mind, and he speculated, "Could it be that my actions of clearing out the monsters have made the New White City survivor camp perceive me as a significant threat? So they want to take advantage of the fact that my robots are out clearing monsters and my shelter is relatively empty to attack it?"
At this moment, Da Bai suddenly said to Xu Zhengyang, "Master, they are using the recently repaired ground base station for communication. I have already infiltrated their communication signals."
As he spoke, Da Bai directly connected the New White City survivor camp's communication channel to Xu Zhengyang's earpiece: "All drivers, remember to stay directly behind the trucks to avoid friendly fire!"
"Hurry up, drive faster, don't let him react and come back to reinforce!"
"Everyone, do a final check on your equipment, load your magazines fully, and make sure all ballistic plates are in place. This might be a tough battle ahead! Mortar squad, turn right ahead and set up at the abandoned building at point K1!"
...
Listening to Zhou Jiaming's impassioned pre-battle mobilization in the communication channel, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but sneer, "Man has no intention to harm the tiger, but the tiger has the heart to harm man!"
"In that case.
Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he spoke.
Xu Zhengyang immediately issued an order to Da Bai, "Command all combat robots to return and reinforce!
Then fully activate the nuclear power plant's generating capacity to supply the Electromagnetic Shield, ensuring the absolute safety of the shelter!"
"Understood, Master."
Da Bai complied, no longer using the planned power supply, and directly maximized the nuclear power plant's generating capacity! (End of chapter)
