Chapter 28 - Military Compressed Biscuits!

Chapter 28: Military Compressed Biscuits!Da Niu was momentarily stunned but didn’t say anything. Since the lord gave the order, it had to be followed.

Obeying orders was a soldier’s duty, and as an Iron Guard, he understood this even more.

“Pile these things here to prevent the zombies from rushing in too quickly,” Da Niu instructed, then led the other Iron Guards in moving the resources from downstairs to upstairs.

Meanwhile, upstairs, the gunmen, following Lin Feng’s orders, were searching for optimal shooting positions. Poor positioning could lead to wasted firepower.

For instance, if two regular soldiers’ bullets hit the same zombie simultaneously, both resulting in headshots, it would be a significant waste.

This situation could easily occur, so finding optimal shooting positions in advance was crucial.

Two regular soldiers were assigned to shoot from positions closest to the Iron Guards, while the other regular soldiers had their designated shooting zones, only targeting zombies within their areas.

Marine Zhang Heng’s designated attack position was at the entrance of the Zombie Tide Gate, where the zombies would flood in. This was the area with the highest concentration of zombies.

Positioning Zhang Heng there would maximize his firepower. Currently, Zhang Heng could kill a normal zombie with a single bullet, regardless of whether it was a headshot or not.

Therefore, no one could replace Marine Zhang Heng’s attack position.

Lin Feng’s position was behind Da Niu—not because he was hiding, but to use the Tang blade to deal damage through the gaps between Da Niu and the nearby Iron Guards.

Additionally, Lin Feng assigned a regular soldier to provide covering fire. This soldier would shoot freely, offering immediate fire support whenever the Iron Guards faced an overwhelming number of zombies.

Lin Feng placed the machine gun tower in a corner of the second-floor living room, near the staircase. This location would maximize the effectiveness of the basic machine gun tower.

【Confirm setting up the machine gun tower? Once set, changing the tower’s position will consume 1 white crystal stone!】

Lin Feng was delighted. His initial plan was to keep the machine gun tower permanently in that spot, but discovering that it could be moved for just one crystal stone was an unexpected joy.

“Confirm installation!” Lin Feng replied.

Soon, a cold, metallic machine gun tower was set up in the corner. It resembled a mounted machine gun and didn’t require bullets, but it did need a power source, which intrigued Lin Feng.

It seemed that while the machine gun didn’t need bullets, it required an electrical power supply. Lin Feng realized that electricity would be a limiting factor in future development. After all, this was a game world, and the lack of need for bullets wasn’t particularly surprising.

The structure of the basic machine gun tower was simple. Behind the machine gun were some wiring structures that Lin Feng didn’t understand, and there was a circuit structure similar to a computer. A camera was mounted on the AK rifle’s scope.

“Lord, the generator is ready,” Marine Zhang Heng reported.

Holding a power adapter, Zhang Heng continued, “Now we just need to determine the voltage required by the machine gun tower and adjust the generator’s output accordingly.”

Zhang Heng then connected the machine gun tower to the power supply and began the calibration process.

Lin Feng stood by, observing.

Suddenly, a red dot appeared in the center of the camera’s viewfinder. As soon as the red dot appeared, the machine gun tower seemed to come to life, beginning its operation.

【Congratulations! Your basic machine gun tower is now in combat mode. Calibration successful. Your shelter’s defense value has increased by 20 points!】

【Current shelter defense value: 40 (Although your shelter is still insignificant in the grand scheme of the zombie tide, having a basic machine gun tower gives you the ability to resist.)】

The machine gun tower was successfully set up!

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Transporting supplies was the most challenging task, but with the formidable strength of the four Iron Guards, it was completed quickly.

Time gradually moved into the evening. The daily food consumption now reached 40 jin. For a strong man, consuming 2 jin of food per day wasn’t excessive.

With the addition of the cook, Lin Feng noticeably felt that the food became much tastier.

After dinner, the cook was making some biscuits, and Lin Feng watched the cook’s actions closely.

To his surprise, these biscuits had an additional effect!

【Military Compressed Biscuits: Restores 30 points of stamina within one minute.】

This was a special food made by the cook!

Lin Feng had suspected that the system wouldn’t assign a cook worth one population unit without good reason. This was indeed a luxurious addition.

With these military compressed biscuits, Lin Feng felt even more confident about tomorrow’s defense. The Iron Guards at the front lines could use the biscuits to replenish their stamina!

Lin Feng asked the cook, “How many of these biscuits can you make each day?”

“Lord, I can make a maximum of ten military compressed biscuits per day, each consuming one jin of food,” the cook replied respectfully.

“Then make ten right now, and another ten first thing tomorrow morning!” Lin Feng ordered decisively.
