#382 - Chapter 382: Count the weapons and prepare for fight!
It was not yet ten in the morning.
Main Base.
Conference room in the office building.
Qin Jin hadn't been here for a while, as he basically let the Combat Department and Security Department handle the simple tasks on their own.
Only when encountering difficult decisions or highly important events would he, the leader, personally step in.
Like now.
Li Bowen and the others had just completed the rescue mission, bringing the mother and daughter back to the branch base for temporary rest and resettlement. Zhao Ling would be responsible for their affairs from now on.
And their armed personnel were about to deal with something even more important!
There was actually a group of people eyeing Green Source Base?!
"Sorry, President Qin, it was our fault for not handling it well that day. I didn't expect such a force to target us and bring trouble to the base!"
Inside the conference room, Li Bowen took the initiative to stand up and admit his mistake, explaining the more detailed circumstances of his last trip to Shenzhen to everyone.
Qin Jin sat in the chief seat, quietly listening to Team Leader Li's account, along with the supplements from several other team members who had participated in the Shenzhen trip.
Soon, they all thoroughly understood what had happened that day.
"Let's leave it at that. I would have done the same in your place. It's not your fault."
"Besides, such a force would have clashed with us sooner or later anyway!"
Qin Jin said expressionlessly, supporting himself with his hands placed in front of his chest, lightly dismissing Team Leader Li and the others' mistake.
Indeed, as he said, Li Bowen hadn't done anything wrong in that situation.
The female members of the Combat Department were almost bullied! Wasn't it worth killing people?!
Did they really have to be taken advantage of before they could resist??!!
Wake up, for goodness' sake!
"Continue to send people to patrol around Guangyuan City and arrest all the spies who come over!"
Qin Jin said coldly.
Li Bowen had not only recounted the situation in Shenzhen but also revealed the information he had extracted from the three men who had abused the Level 1 personnel of Green Source in the morning.
They belonged to a group called Tian Hong Group!
With a total of over a thousand people!
Living in a commercial building turned into a mansion!
A building-based stronghold!
Qin Jin was a little surprised to hear this. According to his memories from his previous life, there had been similar bases built on buildings, but they usually only had a few hundred people. This was the first time he had heard of such a large force with over a thousand people!
Moreover, from the mouths of those three men, he also learned what kind of force this was.
Cannibalism, trading human meat, keeping survivors in captivity, and killing any humans they didn't like. It could be said that this was a completely unadulterated doomsday-style extremely evil group!
Qin Jin never claimed to be a good person, but he basically wouldn't do these things.
Unless someone provoked him or did something that displeased him within his controlled territory.
"Increase the base's defense level! All armed and logistical departments prepare for combat support! Immediately cancel all transactions and reduce the flow of people in Green Source, and await our next instructions!"
He issued the instructions one by one in an orderly manner. The personnel present quickly recorded them. Hearing these, everyone faintly guessed what the Green Source leader was about to do.
"Get me all the information on that force as quickly as possible! Put it on my desk before sunset today!"
His face became extremely serious, and his voice became colder and colder. As he spoke, everyone in the room felt as if the air had become viscous...
It had been a long time since they had felt this kind of aura from the leader...
This was the leader of Green Source!
The instructions he arranged almost foreshadowed one purpose—
This force called Tian Hong was going to be in trouble!!
"Meeting adjourned!"
The meeting was called very urgently and ended quickly. The cadres in the base who received the order hurried back to work, preparing to complete the preparations before evening, as President Qin had said!
Qin Jin didn't linger in the conference room either. After dismissing the meeting, he began to walk around the base.
He didn't directly ask those captains at the meeting because some things were best known only to himself!
He visited the Research and Development Department, Production Department, Warehouse Department, and so on.
Soon, he obtained the most detailed information he wanted to know.
The drone frequency-hopping technology was still being debugged and tackled, and the results hadn't come out yet, so it couldn't be put into use for the time being, which was a pity.
Then, regarding the helicopters, the geomagnetic field was still raging. Taking off was possible, but once flying too far or too high, there might be instrument failures. Xia Yan, Li Xu, and the newly recruited engineers strongly advised against flying.
Even more of a pity.
The geomagnetic field had almost sealed off the air power of Blue Star some time ago, and it was unknown how long it would take to safely carry people and fly again.
In his previous life, as a lone wanderer, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to this kind of problem. By the time he learned that the magnetic field had returned to stability, several years had passed in the apocalypse.
"President Qin, the ammunition situation has been good recently. Our production capacity and yield rate have been increasing, and the number consumed in the previous two zombie tides has been replenished! Moreover, we have new breakthroughs in the quantity and style of our explosives, and we have cooperated with the Research and Development Department to create explosive arrows!"
Qin Jin received such good news when he found Dong Hui.
"This is a new weapon that Team Leader Li and the others have improved based on arrows! A groove is created in the arrowhead to insert a certain amount of explosive. It will trigger an explosion when it encounters a large collision! The power is close to half of an ordinary grenade!"
Oh?
Qin Jin took a strange arrow that had just been made in the Production Department, with a uniform and suitable length, but the arrowhead was a circle larger than usual, and began to play with it.
Soon he saw the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon.
This weapon was suitable for increasing the long-range attack power of the team members. For example, if they needed to remotely destroy something or kill zombies, this explosive arrow might have miraculous effects!
It was a weakened version of a rocket launcher!
They didn't yet have the ability to produce and manufacture rocket launchers and corresponding ammunition. It could be said that that kind of weapon was a treasure that would be used less and less!
Explosive arrows were different. As long as there were enough raw materials, they could continue to produce and manufacture them!
Of course, this also had some shortcomings, such as insufficient power and the need for the user's shooting accuracy.
But under the premise that it could be manufactured, this became not a big disadvantage.
Not accurate enough? Then shoot a few more arrows!
"Not bad!"
Qin Jin gave a satisfied evaluation.
At the same time, he deeply felt that it was right to recruit talents like Dong Hui and Li Xu last year.
Without these talents, the strength of Green Source Base at this time might have dropped by several levels.
Afterwards, he also learned about the various weapons and materials currently hoarded in the base. Some were moved back from the Yucheng Arsenal last time, and some were produced by the base itself during this period.
Since the base ushered in a personnel explosion and great development after the new year, it has also begun to exert its strength in industry. The base's factories are working overtime every day to produce and manufacture some weapons, protective gear, tools, etc. that can be used by the team members.
Don't you see, almost all of the Green Source armed personnel now have a set of bulletproof vests, military knives, bayonets, and small shields.
The official combat team members and security team members are all equipped with a machine gun + a pistol, and the outsourced personnel of the branch base are also equipped with a pistol.
In special circumstances, all members are equipped with heavy firepower!
It can be said that every one of these hundreds of people is definitely a master of using guns, knives, and even melee combat!
Facing a person who is about to provoke himself—
Oh no!
It's already provoked!
Qin Jin even found a slogan (excuse) for this battle.
This group of people killed a Level 1 personnel from their Green Source!
And bullied their family!
Mortal enemy!
Absolute mortal enemy!
They must pay with their blood!
