Chapter 150 - 143: Automated Machinery Clears Zombies
Chapter 150: Chapter 143: Automated Machinery Clears Zombies
Lin Jin nodded. "No problem. The design is structured so the power supply can be swapped out. I’ll have it sent over right away."
"Alright," Chen Bo said.
...
Lu Feng didn’t have to wait long before he saw Yang Ming arrive with Chen Bo. They had also brought the new power source for the trap installation.
After they moved the items into the warehouse, Chen Bo said, "President Lu, you just need to swap this drive unit with the old one."
"Mm," Lu Feng nodded.
Once the items were set down, Yang Ming didn’t linger. He took Chen Bo and left immediately.
Chen Bo was extremely curious about the warehouse, but he didn’t probe any further. ’I shouldn’t pry,’ he thought. ’If I make President Lu unhappy, I might lose this powerful connection I’ve just made.’
He knew just how formidable President Lu’s Qingfeng Network Company was now. He even used the Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant on his own phone.
After Yang Ming and Chen Bo left, Lu Feng locked the warehouse from the inside and scanned it once more with his detection watch.
Once he confirmed there were no issues, with a single thought, he entered the game.
With the addition of people from Red Leaf Base, Qingfeng Base had become much livelier.
Moreover, after the last incident, the people from Red Leaf Base had completely integrated into Qingfeng Base.
In many areas, the members from Red Leaf Base even performed better than the original Qingfeng Base members. They knew that as newcomers, they were at a natural disadvantage, so they had to work that much harder to prove themselves and hopefully catch the eye of the esteemed Mr. Lu.
If they did, they might even receive a reward from Mr. Lu.
After entering the game, Lu Feng summoned Lin Jiao.
"Boss, what are your orders?" Lin Jiao asked as soon as she arrived.
Lu Feng said, "Gather some people and follow me to Red Leaf Base again. I have a way to deal with those zombies."
"Understood, Boss." Lin Jiao nodded, taking out her walkie-talkie to call for people.
With the members from Red Leaf Base having joined, they had plenty of combat personnel. She quickly assembled several squads.
Lu Feng led the group out. After some time, they arrived at Red Leaf Base and used the special passage between buildings to enter its inner area once more.
The people Lin Jiao brought included members from Qingfeng Base as well as former members of Red Leaf Base.
The former members of Red Leaf Base were stunned when they saw the state of the interior.
They had survived inside Red Leaf Base for so long and were incredibly familiar with it. Now, seeing it again, it was nothing but ruins. There were fractured marks from explosions everywhere, and the ground was littered with zombie corpses.
Lu Feng led everyone into the base, then, in front of them all, he exited the game with a thought.
Back in the real-world warehouse, he grabbed one of the steel blades and, with another thought, returned to the game.
The steel blade was four to five meters long. The people from both Qingfeng and Red Leaf Base jumped in surprise when they saw it.
Then, Lu Feng vanished on the spot again and moved all the components for the mechanical traps into the game.
The people from Red Leaf Base had heard that this Mr. Lu possessed a special spatial ability and could store many things inside it.
Although they were shocked, they didn’t make a huge fuss.
After all, they had already witnessed how formidable Mr. Lu was.
Lu Feng took out the blueprints Lin Jin had given him and said to the crowd, "Who here knows how to read mechanical blueprints?"
The post-apocalyptic world was full of talented people from all walks of life; there was bound to be someone who could read blueprints.
Sure enough, after a moment, two people stepped forward.
One of them said, "Mr. Lu, I was a mechanical designer before the apocalypse. I can read these."
The other said, "Boss, I majored in mechanical design. I can read them too."
One was from Qingfeng Base, the other from Red Leaf Base. Of course, now they were both members of Qingfeng Base.
"Follow these blueprints. Get some people and assemble these devices." Lu Feng handed the trap blueprints to them.
The two men hurried forward. One took the blueprints, glanced at them, and said, "Boss, these plans are very simple. You can leave it to us."
Lu Feng nodded. "Then I’m counting on you."
The two men didn’t dare hesitate. They immediately called people over and began moving the components.
Lu Feng looked at the flat ground, felt something was off, and turned to Lin Jiao. "Take some people and dig out a slope. Make sure it functions as a slide."
"Understood, Boss." Lin Jiao nodded and got her people moving.
The two men were indeed knowledgeable about mechanics. Under their direction, the trap devices were assembled one by one.
Each trap looked utterly vicious. The interwoven steel blades were a terrifying sight.
The survivors Lin Jiao had brought were stunned when they saw the five trap devices.
No matter how slow they were, they knew what these were for. If a zombie charged through, it would be instantly turned into chunks of meat.
Lin Jiao even swallowed hard. While these machines weren’t as viscerally shocking as the exploding cans, they were enough to make one’s skin crawl.
Especially when she looked at the sloping slide her team had dug.
’As long as someone keeps clearing away the zombie chunks from behind,’ she thought, ’the results will be incredible.’
Lu Feng walked up to the five trap devices and installed the final axle himself.
’Because the tools only work when I use them myself, my participation in the installation and my personal activation should be enough.’
With that done, Lu Feng looked at the power drive units and called out to the survivors again, "Who here knows how to repair power systems? Come over and modify these devices to run on an energy-value supply."
The moment Lu Feng finished speaking, two survivors immediately stepped forward.
"Boss, I can do it!"
"Boss, this is my specialty."
The two survivors spoke over each other, putting down their guns as they talked.
’In the apocalypse, you really can find all kinds of talented people.’ And both of them were from Qingfeng Base.
The two survivors immediately picked up their tools and began scavenging around Red Leaf Base.
Driving machinery with an energy-value charge required special components, but it shouldn’t be hard to find such things in Red Leaf Base.
Before long, the two had found the necessary parts and began modifying the devices.
After finishing the assembly, the two reported to Lu Feng, "Boss, it’s all assembled. The batteries on the units still have some power, so they can be activated immediately."
Lu Feng nodded and walked over to the other side, where a dedicated activation device was mounted.
Arriving at the device, he pressed the button. A moment later, the traps began to whir and grind.
On their initial startup, the devices seemed a bit clunky, but as they spun up to speed, they generated a powerful gust of wind.
Seeing this, Lu Feng took out a large speaker and several amplifiers, placing them behind the five trap devices.
This way, the zombies would run straight for the speaker, which meant they would charge directly into the steel blades.
Then, the dynamic music of "Little Apple" began to play once more.
With the sound, even from inside Red Leaf Base, they could feel the zombie horde outside growing more frenzied.
Lu Feng ordered Lin Jiao, "Lin Jiao, clear the main gate outside and let the zombies in!"
Having seen the devices, Lin Jiao already understood her boss’s plan. She immediately took her people to the entrance to clear it.
Before long, the entrance passage was cleared, and a breach was blasted open.
Almost instantly, the zombies outside swarmed in wildly. Lin Jiao led her people back through a side path to a position behind the mechanical traps.
Zombies have no intelligence; they instinctively sprint toward any sound. So, it wasn’t long before the first zombie charged directly into the array of steel blades.
In an instant, the zombie’s body was sliced apart like tofu, shredded into chunks of meat. After falling, the pieces slid down the chute and, thanks to the specially constructed slope, tumbled to the area below.
This was why Lu Feng had Lin Jiao’s team dig the slope. Otherwise, the severed chunks would just fall in place and quickly pile up.
After the first came the second, then the third... One after another, zombies relentlessly charged into the mechanical traps, and each one was instantly sliced into pieces without exception.
But the zombies were fearless of death, forging ahead and sacrificing themselves one after another. They then transformed into experience points for Lu Feng, appearing as notifications in his mind:
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie. You have gained 5 EXP!]
[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie. You have gained 10 EXP!]
...
