After dealing with those greedy and worthless individuals, Xu Zhengyang, piloting the combat robot, exited the conference room and headed towards the warehouse of the New White City survivor camp, curious about what surprises he might find there.
...
The warehouse of the New White City survivor camp was constructed to a standard not much inferior to Xu Zhengyang's shelter. However, no matter how sturdy the warehouse was, it couldn't withstand the energy blade of the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha! Upon arriving and taking control of the mecha, Xu Zhengyang quickly sliced through the alloy doors of the warehouse.
As Zhang Wei had previously mentioned, the warehouse was indeed well-stocked with supplies! Tents, food, medicine, weapons, seeds, farming tools, fertilizers...
Xu Zhengyang had Da Bai make a rough calculation. If the supplies in the warehouse were properly distributed, the food alone could sustain the entire population of White City for a year! With such a long time frame, as long as the survivors organized themselves and cultivated new farmland, they could easily last until the next harvest of crops!
However, this warehouse, originally prepared for post-disaster reconstruction, still had at least ninety percent of its supplies untouched.
"What a bunch of scoundrels!" Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but curse upon seeing this.
Previously, when Xu Zhengyang sold combat robots to the New White City survivor camp, he had gathered some intelligence about the camp through the robots' probes. The camp enforced a very strict wartime supply system. Those without jobs, whether children or the elderly, could only eat two meals of salted porridge at the canteen each day with meal tickets, along with a vitamin supplement to maintain basic life functions. At that time, Xu Zhengyang thought the conditions at the New White City survivor camp were just harsh, and they couldn't save too many people.
But now, seeing the abundance of supplies before him, Xu Zhengyang felt that killing those people outright was too lenient! Just then, Da Bai suddenly asked Xu Zhengyang, "Master, should we take these supplies back?"
"No need," Xu Zhengyang replied. His shelter wasn't short on food, and taking them back would just waste storage space.
Xu Zhengyang then continued to instruct Da Bai, "You look for that super hard drive Zhang Wei mentioned. I'll check out the armory here. As for the rest of the stuff... let's leave it for the survivors of the New White City camp."
...
It must be said, the armory of the New White City survivor camp was indeed well-stocked. However, Xu Zhengyang wasn't particularly interested in the various firearms; what caught his attention were the rocket launchers and rockets stored here! As Xu Zhengyang was packing all the rocket launchers and ammunition into his Dimensional Space Pocket, Da Bai suddenly said to him, "Master, I've found that super hard drive!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang was delighted and immediately asked Da Bai, "Organize the information on that hard drive and send me a list!"
"Understood, Master."
As soon as Da Bai finished speaking, a list appeared on Xu Zhengyang's smart glasses. After a quick glance, Xu Zhengyang realized that Zhang Wei hadn't lied about the super hard drive! At the very beginning of the hard drive...
The records contained information on post-disaster reconstruction, such as how to farm, fertilize, diagnose illnesses, and provide treatment.
Moreover, the person who compiled this information was so concerned that readers might not understand that they practically wanted to include pictures with every sentence! Anyone who got their hands on this hard drive, even a middle school student, could survive quite well by following the information recorded on it!
However, Xu Zhengyang had no interest in these basic things.
He scrolled down further.
Sure enough!
In the latter half of the hard drive, the content shifted to the material ratios and forging techniques of H32 high-manganese special steel, the material ratios and production processes of D104 special rubber, and various other new materials and technologies! "Not bad!"
Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction after seeing these things and then said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, make a copy of everything on this hard drive."
"Understood, Master," Da Bai replied and immediately began the operation.
After obtaining what he wanted, Xu Zhengyang had no desire to linger here. He was in a hurry to clear out the Blood Plague monsters near White City! *As soon as Xu Zhengyang stepped out of the warehouse, he noticed many survivors gathered outside, all looking at him with fearful eyes.
At that moment, a middle-aged man with a crew cut approached Xu Zhengyang.
Without missing a beat, he slightly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu. My name is Lin Dayou, and I'm the new—"
Before Lin Dayou could finish, Xu Zhengyang interrupted him directly, "Are you in charge here now?"
Lin Dayou was momentarily stunned, but then a hint of barely concealed delight flashed across his face.
He coughed twice and immediately replied, "You could say that."
"Good."
Xu Zhengyang nodded and then continued, "Since you're the new leader here, I'll leave it to you to redistribute the resources in the warehouse. My only requirement is fairness! Make sure all the survivors here have enough to eat and wear."
With that, Xu Zhengyang assigned two combat robots to follow Lin Dayou, adding, "Of course, in this post-apocalyptic world, danger is inevitable. As the new mayor here, I'll have these two combat robots provide 24/7 'close protection' for your safety. How's that? Not bad, right?"
At first, Lin Dayou felt a surge of joy upon hearing Xu Zhengyang's words. But when he realized that Xu Zhengyang had openly planted two pairs of eyes by his side, he suddenly felt as if he had been plunged into an icy abyss.
Then, with a hesitant expression, Lin Dayou tried to bargain with Xu Zhengyang, "I definitely won't dare to act out of line. So, isn't 24/7 close protection a bit too much?"
"Oh?"
Xu Zhengyang raised an eyebrow, "You're not willing?"
"Willing, willing."
Sensing the underlying threat in Xu Zhengyang's tone, Lin Dayou hurriedly nodded in agreement, "I'll organize people to inventory the supplies right away and start distributing them immediately!"
"Zhang Wei's blood hasn't even dried yet. You'd better watch yourself."
Xu Zhengyang gave Lin Dayou one final warning before leaving without further delay, returning to his shelter.
...
With the potential threats behind him resolved, Xu Zhengyang and Da Bai split up and resumed their mission to clear out the Blood Plague monsters. Under Xu Zhengyang's god-like surveillance.
It took Da Bai and him a full week to finally clear out all the Blood Plague monsters within a 100-kilometer radius of the shelter!
