Chapter 56 If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!

Before the apocalypse, A1 Shelter had already stockpiled a large amount of chemical raw materials!

These raw materials could be used to manufacture a large quantity of weapons and ammunition, which should have been more than enough.

However, Yan Ye was frantically recruiting soldiers and expanding his military, with daily training and combat consuming massive amounts of resources, and the external sale of arms further drastically reduced the raw material reserves.

That's why Yan Ye asked, wanting to know exactly how much was left!

"Master, these are the reserve inventories for various raw materials!" Adam instantly pulled up the data and said, "Before the apocalypse, due to the rush of time, all the raw materials that could be purchased in this city were bought.

They were originally enough to support the base's wartime storage for a year, but now they can only last for three months at most."

"Oh?"

Yan Ye frowned slightly; this quantity was not much at all.

The apocalypse was like this; warfare was all about resources.

The base's warehouse looked very large, but all sorts of miscellaneous items like food, water, cloth, and clothes had to be stored, leaving not much space for chemical raw materials!

Moreover, these items were already difficult to purchase, and large-scale purchases required approval.

The quantity of raw materials Adam could procure before the apocalypse was also limited.

"Adam, do you have any suggestions?" Yan Ye asked.

"Master!" Adam directly reminded him, "In the Tiannan Industrial Park in the northern suburbs, there are large reserves of chemical raw materials.

This is a state-owned chemical enterprise; their annual consumption of nitrates and sulfates is astonishing.

After the apocalypse, their supplies should still be in the warehouse!"

"Good!"

Yan Ye finally let out a sigh of relief!

It's good to have a target; if there are no raw materials, just seize them!

Isn't it just snatching things from the mouths of zombies?

If there are no resources, go collect them.

In short, the more raw materials accumulated in the warehouse, the better!

"Commander!" Qinglong suggested, "Should we strengthen the base's defense system?

Once the zombies launch a large-scale siege, our walls might be too short, and the heavy machine gun positions are not dense enough."

"Yes, a few meters of wall and the zombies can climb right over.

When the dead pile up like mountains, they can climb up by stepping on the corpses of their own kind!"

"More than that, they can even climb walls tens of meters high.

When these zombies are numerous, they are still very terrifying."

"The power of our high-explosive grenades is quite good, but gasoline bombs must also be utilized, otherwise, it will be difficult to defend!"

"When we can't hold them off, we can hide inside the base.

With walls several meters thick, the zombies definitely can't break in.

At that time, we can open the base gate, let them in, and then slowly deal with them!"

"The speed of a zombie charge is very fast.

Do we need to construct circle after circle of defensive positions outside the base to slow down their charge?"

Everyone spoke one after another, offering their suggestions.

Through continuous identification and rectification of deficiencies, this response plan became increasingly perfect.

The meeting lasted for over half an hour before Yan Ye waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"That's it then; this is the situation!" Yan Ye immediately made a decision and said, "Since the Zombie Storm is approaching, our base will definitely bear the brunt.

If we get through it, everyone will have a good life.

If we don't, we can only cower in the base, barely surviving, which is something no one wants to see!"

"Next, we mainly need to prepare in four aspects: First, expand military production and store enough weapons and ammunition to cope with the crisis!"

"Second: Enhance the defense system, supplement heavy machine gun equipment, and heighten the walls!

Build a large number of defensive fortifications outside the base!"

"Third: Actively go out and hunt zombies to reduce the immense pressure that may arise in the future!"

"Fourth: Actively go out to search for supplies, mainly chemical raw materials, to alleviate the current inventory pressure on the base."

"Does anyone have anything to add?

Speak up!"

Yan Ye's tiger-like eyes swept around, and everyone nodded in agreement!

These orders were still very correct, at least very comprehensive.

"Good! Suzaku is responsible for the first and second points!" Yan Ye instructed, "Li Tiezhu is responsible for external sweeping and hunting.

Qinglong will come up with a plan to attack and occupy the Tiannan Industrial Park.

Song Zhiwen will maintain monitoring of the zombies and must not take it lightly."

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up and agreed.

"At the same time!" Yan Ye spoke again, "Release the news to the outside world!"

"What? Release the news about the Zombie Storm?"

"Yan Ye, isn't that inappropriate? Will it cause panic?"

"Yes, once the news is released, what if various forces compete with us for supplies?"

Everyone spoke animatedly, and a hint of hesitation flashed across each person's face.

Yan Ye, however, waved his hand and said, "We don't lack any supplies.

Even chemical raw materials are enough to cope with this major battle; it's just an early replenishment."

"The battle between humans and zombies is a struggle where the enemy advances and we retreat.

If various forces know the news in advance and prepare, they can also help us share the pressure."

"Some scattered survivors hearing the news and hiding can also better preserve humanity's strength.

In the great battle, our base will inevitably lose many people, and finally, population replenishment will have to rely on the outside world."

"Therefore, spreading the news is beneficial to us in every way and harmless.

At the same time, from now on, the sale of arms to the outside world is prohibited, and most of the sales of goods must be stopped."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

Only then did everyone express their stance.

Seeing this, Yan Ye nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to get ready; this emergency meeting was now concluded!

After Yan Ye left the conference room, he headed directly to the arsenal.

With only ten days of preparation time left, the plan to stockpile twenty million bullets must be carried out with utmost urgency.

During this time, the maintenance team had been continuously repairing the various production lines in the arsenal.

Currently, there were a total of three bullet production lines.

One primary bullet production line had a normal daily output of 200,000 rounds, and in emergencies, it could operate at overload to produce 300,000 rounds.

Yan Ye decisively upgraded them to advanced, directly consuming all the crystals he had accumulated these past few days!

An advanced bullet production line has a normal daily output of 500,000 rounds and can reach 600,000 rounds under full load.

This way, three advanced production lines, operating at full load for ten days, could achieve a total output of eighteen million, which was enough to cope with a bloody battle!

"It's a pity there aren't enough crystals, otherwise, if I had ten production lines and stockpiled hundreds of millions of bullets, I could kill as many zombies as came!"

Yan Ye sighed silently in his heart.

This damned apocalypse, crises always came one after another!

It simply didn't give him a chance to accumulate strength, and Yan Ye was quite helpless about it!

Currently, he could only meet challenges as they came and deal with them to the best of his ability!

At this moment, Yan Ye did not yet know how much shock the news he released to the outside world and the urgently issued sales ban had caused.
