214 We’re Going To Build A Wall, Folks

“A 50% success rate?”

Guo Sen’s eyes betrayed a glint of joy.

To him, those numbers were astronomically high.

Those who did not survive could only blame their bad luck.

“So, you’re saying, that as long as we help you exterminate those people in N-City, you’ll provide me with a large amount of this magic, right?” Guo Sen asked while licking the blood on his mouth.

“Fifty vials, upfront.

“After it’s done, you’ll get another fifty, and I’ll throw in three-thousand humans for you to feast on.

“Not bad, right?” Butler asked with a smile.

“Good!”

Guo Sen’s eyes lit up.

Even if his underlings were particularly unlucky, a hundred vials could still produce a force strong enough to kill a few red-eyed zombies and a few dozen golden-eyed zombies.

With such combat power, he could go anywhere he wanted.

H-City would just be the start of it all. He could expand his power beyond the borders!

In addition to that, there were three-thousand live humans for him to feed on!

Living humans were a scarce resource now. Three thousand of them could last for a long time!

Guo Sen’s ambition quickly swelled with the benefits Butler had offered.

Guo Sen poured two cups of blood, handing one to Butler.

“Then, I wish us a happy cooperation!

“Ah, this is human blood. Are you used to it?” Guo Sen asked with a smile.

“No problem. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

Butler took the glass and clinked it with Guo Sen’s before drinking it all in one go.

“Tonight, I’ll bring all my men and set off for N-City.

“I’ll probably be there the night after tomorrow.

“Just wait for my good news,”

Guo Sen was full of confidence.

“Here’s your fifty. Consider the first one a gift.

“I hope you can succeed in one go.

“By the way, this is a very important target. I hope you can help me keep an eye out for her.

“Even if she’s dead, her corpse would prove useful to us.”

Butler took out a photo of a blonde girl and handed it to Guo Sen.

“Alright, I’ll let my men know.”

Guo Sen put away the photo.

Butler stood up and shook Guo Sen’s hand, then left with the two red-eyed zombies.

It would soon be time for the decisive battle between the two forces.

Butler was not yet done recruiting. After this meeting, he would immediately approach another party in a similar situation as Guo Sen.

It would be great if N-City was attacked from all sides.

The company would gain an excellent foothold.

If this assault did not work…

Well, those grenades would come in handy…

At the football stadium in N-City.

Wang Ran and more than twenty survivors were sitting in a conference room.

Everyone here was an expert in Architecture and Civil Engineering, found from several camps in N-City.

“Next up, we’ll be carrying out a large-scale construction project in N-City.

“I plan to build a semi-circular wall. One large enough to surround the entire city.

“The specific purpose of the wall is to resist a million zombies from the west. You must have all heard about it by now.”

“A number like that will wipe us all out.

“We are facing actual annihilation. We’ve got a tight schedule here, the situation demands it.

“I need you to come up with a design plan within two days.

“Within half a month, we must get this wall up,” Wang Ran said, as he slapped the table.

“Anyone can come up with such a sketch in two days, but to physically build it in half a month…

“That is quite a stretch!

“It’s impossible with the current manpower and resources!”

An old professor raised his doubts.

“Impossible?

“The government has already finished building defensive walls at the third and fourth ring roads. It took them half a month.

“I’m only asking for a semicircle around N-City. That’s not even half the work!

“You’re telling me that it’s impossible?

“We have access to the materials and resources in N-City and the towns around it.

“Many real estate and commercial plazas are still in the midst of construction in N-City and the surrounding cities, right? Several construction sites that are left abandoned?

“We have the raw materials, the machinery, the tools.

“If we need electrical power, I’ll send people to the surrounding cities to find us more solar panels and meet our upkeep.

“In terms of manpower…

“There are at least 10,000 survivors in N-City, right?

“You’re looking at it from a 9-5 perspective. That’s no longer the case. Mobilize everyone who can work. 15 hours of work a day without rest, if they have to. Their lives depend on it.

“This way, the efficiency will be much higher.

“There are also tens of thousands of zombies. Zombies don’t need as much rest. They don’t need as much food. They can work for 20 hours a day and are more efficient than humans.

“This amount of manpower and resources should be enough to build this wall, right?”

Wang Ran looked around at the people present and asked.

“Zombies working for us???

“Are we not building this wall to prevent zombies…

“Won’t they attack us?”

The people present began to mutter.

“Leave those concerns to me!

“I’ll see to it.

“I only need the wall up within a certain timeframe, and for it to be up to spec!

“One more thing, the outside of the city wall must be smooth to prevent ordinary zombies from climbing up.

“If Mutated Zombies slip through, let them come over. I’ll deal with them myself.

“That’s all. You guys can start discussing the specifics.

“Of course, I won’t mistreat anyone who’s involved in the project.

“You will get more supplies than average.

“You will also live in comfort. You can temporarily live in the Eastlake villa area.

“I won’t attempt to tell you how good living conditions there are. You’ll know when you get there.

“That’s all for today’s meeting,” Wang Ran said as he stood up.

“A villa?

“That sounds pretty good.

“I suddenly feel full of energy!”

Most of the people here were people who lived in the stadium camp and lived a hard life. When they heard the word “villa,” they instantly perked up.

“As long as you guys work hard, you’ll definitely get a lot of benefits.

“But if anyone slacks off…

“You’ll be delegated to hard, bricklaying labor.

“Get started on the plan. A car will come to pick you up at night.”

Wang Ran left the meeting room after he finished speaking.

The group of professionals began a heated discussion.

It wasn’t just for the living environment and supplies in the villa area. If the zombies got through, they would be finished too.

In the face of desperation, no corners could be cut.

Under the guidance of an old civil engineering professor, they spent the entire afternoon coming up with a basic plan.
