Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse

Chapter 313 - First Part - Battle Royale (1)



Once he returned from the post-apocalypse, ZHang Qin Feng immediately arranged a suitable location for his new indoor farm project. When this project is completed, it will be another groundbreaking development in Marianna.

From the estimated report, a section of this farm could produce enough output for half of what Marianna Population consumed in a single day. And Zhang Qin Feng is looking to start this indoor farm with four sections first before upgrading it to eight in the future.

Furthermore, the underground building plan he had in mind can be expanded into sixteen sections if required.

When his new project was introduced to Jason Deng, the new Wind Base Agriculture was established. The location of this project was also decided instantly after a quick land survey around the area.. It was received positively by Jason Deng and his team because this project would definitely help Marianna escape the food shortage issue.

A quarter of manpower from the construction project was then shifted to develop this Indoor Farm project. And to shorten the time taken to realize this dream, thirty Builder's Frames were included in this adjustment to construct this underground facility.

But surprisingly, the project was getting a light response from the public when the development project began.

Perhaps it's due to Zhang Qin Feng's sudden introduction of multiple sophisticated technologies in the span of half a year. The people were starting to get used to the surprises he had. Instead, it was the four other influential groups that showed an interest.

The business representatives related to them soon approached Jason Deng for more detail about this project. Some even offered to be a part of this development in exchange for studying opportunities.

But Zhang Qin Feng decided to let Jason Deng handle everything on his behalf. After leaving the remaining details to one of Jason Deng's men, Zhang Qin Feng immediately made his way back to the post-apocalypse.

...

His sudden ignorance towards the modern world's development is somewhat related to the changes in the post-apocalypse. Merely a day after returning to his everyday world to introduce the Indoor Farm Project, bad news came from the frontline.

His worries finally came true as the peaceful period he's enjoying currently has ended.

Out of seven Mobile Command Centers deployed to the frontline, two got attacked by an opponent with powerful firepower. The report stated that the attacker was none other than the survivors gathering under a banner around this Strand Metropolis.

As a behemoth-class settlement capable of sustaining a billion population in its peak, this place is undoubtedly a spacious playground for all the powerhouses gathered here. To these people, Strand Metropolis was a piece of land full of opportunities.

In comparison to them, the Wind Base is merely one of the smaller players in this playground. Furthermore, he's not the only one in this category. At least five other Zhang Qin Feng's size groups are located in this district, with technological advantages that do not lose to Wind Base.

Even with Stein as a cheat, all Zhang Qin Feng had was a slight advantage over the others in development and resources, but not in manpower, experience, and control. In a battle of this size, power is everything, and it can only come from the latter three aspects.

The Wind Base was introduced to this reality after successfully repaired the communication device within the Repopulation Shelter:205. From the message they received, this is the prerequisite term to qualify for this battle royale.

It might sound ridiculous, but that's how this world works right now.

This was human nature, where internal war and fighting for tribal supremacy would always exist, no matter from which world of mankind. Everything might sound ridiculous, but Zhang Qin Feng could understand why this happened.

Because one mountain can't have two kings. And one world can't have two rulers. War would keep going until one side reigned supreme.

...

"Let's get to the point. Who are we fighting against, and what is the overall strength?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. He's yet to be briefed with anything related to their opponent, except the fact they're fellow survivors under another banner.

But the problem here was more than just his opponent's strength.

From the report he received, the attack forced all Zhang Qin Feng's soldiers to retreat like dogs. Even with their latest weaponry, the Thunderbolt Mk-II, they're incapable of doing anything on the attackers.

This is evident that his opponent's control over weaponry and gears had reached the point above what Zhang Qin Feng's arsenal could handle. This was precisely the reason why he was recalled back to Turbine Town to discuss this matter.

"From what we're managed to get from them, these people were survivors from the Nephrite City. Its also where Repopulation Shelter No:206 is located, and that settlement is about fifty kilometers away from Turbine Town. In terms of manpower, I would estimate they're about 7,000 to 10,000 people strong." Satella replied.

'7,000 to 10,000 strong... That's indeed problematic...' Zhang Qin Feng's eyebrows narrowed as his worries increased.

"These people called themselves Crystal-Heads, and it was a name to describes their foot soldiers. Their weaponry seems to be somewhere around our level, but they're much better in defense than ours." Queenie added.

"Our losses?" Zhang Qin Feng continued.

"Two MCC possession was taken away, sixty deaths, half of them were non-combatants." Satella quickly replied.

"Also, they're currently fortifying a section of the Turbine Town. If we leave them to be, they'll be strengthening their influence over that area soon," she added.

"Is there anything we can do about this?" Zhang Qin Feng continues to ask. His gaze turns cold after listening to Satella's casualty report. As he's yet to adapt to the perception of manpower here yet, each casualty was a significant loss to Zhang Qin Feng.

"Our initial plan is to withdraw the soldiers deployed to Strand Line Recycling Hub and New Wind Base back here. They would be assisting the remaining squadron we have here to take back control over the sector." Satella immediately replied.

"No, leave the two teams there. Tell them to maintain alert until further order was given." Zhang Qin Feng interrupted the moment Satella finished with her sentence.

"Huh? Why?" Satella was puzzled by Zhang Qin Feng's sudden interruption.

"These people are trying to lure our forces away. If we left the two spots, it would be controlled by them immediately." Zhang Qin Feng said.
