Invincible Chapter 930

August is the rainy season for this region.

The night was rainy and chilly.

The two rangers took advantage of the night and rain to hunt and kill the zombies in the mining area.

The monocle they are equipped with gives them night vision. The special breathing mask cuts off the breath, so that the zombies cannot detect their existence through the sense of smell.

Theoretically, the sweat glands of the human body are the main source of the 'human smell', but rangers have been transformed. They are like dogs, without sweat glands, and their skin has more insulation effect, which makes them more cold-resistant than ordinary people , but it breeds a problem, how to regulate body temperature?

Sports, especially strenuous sports such as fighting, will generate a lot of heat. Could it be solved by sticking out your tongue like a dog?

The truth is, pretty much. They have special artificial organs to control heat, if it still doesn't work, then the excess heat will pass through the mouth and be exhaled.

This is why they wear special breathing masks. Without this thing, they would move like trains, breathing white air even in summer.

The ranger's clothes are extremely compact, as if he just came out wearing a far-infrared corset. In fact, this is an antique nano-suit on the outside. It has good protection against scratches, cuts, and stabs, and can effectively reduce the damage from zombies. harm.

Its shortcoming is that it has poor protection against blunt blows, such as the fist of a muscle bully, or the kinetic energy impact of a bullet, or the shock wave of an explosion.

The ranger also has a cool cloak. This cloak is like the skin of a chameleon, providing mimic camouflage. With this cloak covering yourself, you can instantly blend in with the surrounding environment. If it exceeds 3 meters, as long as you don’t move, you can even stare at it. Look, it's hard to find clues.

However, what makes rangers really powerful is their ability to recover. As long as there is time to recover, they will soon become alive and well again. Their stem cell genes have a memory module. , the remaining details can be corrected by the memory module itself. This system is called the self-surgical system, and the advanced ones already have a magical taste.

This is why it is said that the fighters of the Shining System are all elites.

It can be said that these soldiers are simplified versions of the high-end space fighters on the Hill.

Space Marines from Warhammer 40k,

With a combat force capable of exterminating modern human civilization with a single unit, with extraordinary talent and amazing will, coupled with top-notch biochemical transformation, they were born specifically for war.

Even if the space fighters on the Hill are not as unique and potential as the real space fighters, they can be called heroes, but they are not inferior. After all, there are Kane's evil cells and high-end technology, and there is no talent. The genetic technology is not comparable to the biochemical transformation of Warhammer 40k. It is deeper and more detailed. It changes from the source and has no flaws.

Only the amazing will is really incomparable. Because the extremely strong will is amazing, all driven by emotions. That is to say, the outside is cold and the inside is hot. This kind of will is so strong that there is almost no upper limit. At least in theory.

As for the Kane series, they have always followed the machine route of obliterating feelings and being absolutely ruthless. This kind of performance is stable and it is not easy to cause problems, but the upper limit is not good, and they cannot explode.

Correspondingly, the soldiers provided by the shining system also have this problem. They can indeed treat death as home, but it is basically impossible to expect them to write legends and create miracles. It can only be deduced by the play of 200% or 300% of the strength after planting, plus enough luck, Kane's creation has no such possibility. Their upper limit is locked, but their lower limit is also locked.

On the contrary, Zhao Wenrui himself prefers the latter one, counting on miracles to save the country, he can only say that the country deserves to perish. Correspondingly, as a commander, he would not expect to win victory by relying on someone's explosion, so he needs to play a more stable role. Combat power, not a crazy hero.

The soldiers given by the Shining system were so appealing to Zhao Wenrui that with only 4 rangers, he started to try the tactics of going around in circles.

He remotely commanded a ranger to startle and seduce the zombies, and let the other three rangers act as fixed firepower.

Rangers can still shoot arrows calmly after being ridden in the face by zombies.

Their shooting level is not as good as Hawkeye in Chaoying, and their skills are also worse, but they are more stable.

All warriors also have a sharpening system, through which they can be honed through battles. After finishing the honing, they can be promoted to veterans. There is no further change. A veteran means that the coordination of the body has been corrected to the best, and the strength is all-round. After completing a leap, correspondingly, what he sacrificed was his potential. Even if he was expected to become a superhero, after being honed by this system, he is still a veteran.

Such a setting is also very suitable for Zhao Wenrui's taste.

Although a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

But there are specializations in the art industry. How to become an elite soldier, this topic is enough for ordinary people to devote their best years to study.

Modern countries have implemented the non-commissioned officer system in the army one after another, which is evidence. If you want to focus on command and management, you can climb the road of sergeant major; I dare not say that it is a lifetime series, and it is basically enough to play before the age reaches the station and discharges from the army.

This is actually pointing out in a different direction: the starting point of being a soldier is low, so don't dream too high.

And these soldiers in front of them can be said to be in line with this logic, and they have achieved the ultimate, truly elite.

Zhao Wenrui naturally has great confidence in it.

The actual operation did not disappoint him. After giving the order to attack key targets first, rather than attacking the nearest target, the rangers were able to complete the order very well, and they repeatedly hit the zombie group. The position was temporarily behind, but the actual The more threatening swift and violent corpses and wild corpses.

Compared with these two kinds of zombies, ordinary zombies are more likely to be separated by rangers, which means that the 'kite' tactics can be completed in a smaller space.

Similarly, leading a group of ordinary zombies around in circles is less risky.

However, there are still problems when implementing specific tactics.

For example, the hatred maintenance problem caused by the speed difference.

Simply being exposed to the target's vision and triggering its pursuit is only a relatively superficial hatred, but a certain distance away from it may cause ordinary zombies to give up the pursuit, or 'transfer love'.

However, ordinary zombies are not at the same speed as swift and violent zombies and wild zombies. If you give in to ordinary zombies, you will be chased by swift and violent zombies and wild zombies.

Faced with such embarrassment, Zhao Wenrui specified two specific measures.

If the number of swift and violent corpses and wild corpses is small, kill them first.

On the contrary, give priority to cleaning up ordinary zombies, and let the one who pulls hatred lead the fast zombies to run a few more laps.

Of course, doing so also creates new problems.

That is, swift and ferocious zombies are more likely to rage. Although rage is not equal to seed explosion, their roar will attract zombies in a wider range.

This may lead to the introduction of too many zombies, too many to kill, and the rangers will be in danger.

In this way, it is mainly to test the commander's ability. Including the delineation of the preset battlefield, the formulation of the route to attract monsters, and so on.

The commander has the perspective of the gods and the ability to slow down time, which makes it possible for him to seize those fleeting opportunities and let the ranger who attracts monsters play interludes dangerously and dangerously.

The effect is like playing football to pass smoothly through the gaps of many opponents. Sometimes it is really a small difference and just pass by. If it is blocked, it is basically a dead end.

Under the premise that soldiers absolutely execute orders, problems can only be blamed on the commander. For Zhao Wenrui, capturing such opportunities and planning routes is also very challenging. But he knew that this kind of ability might be the main means for him to get through hardships in the future, and he should not avoid it, but practice it early, even if it cost the lives of some soldiers, it would be worth it...

However, in the place of Zangjin Valley, there is no chance for him to show this kind of extreme operation too much. One reason is that there are no special zombies such as flying demons, and the other reason is that even ordinary zombies are limited in number, and the proportion of swift and violent zombies is not high.

This is actually a common feature of the 'dead point'. This area is the low end of the zombies' low activity, lack of circulation, and lack of strong zombie control, no nests, just zombies wandering here aimlessly, and lack of outside Due to the influence of factors, it depends on this, gradually forming a stagnant pattern of stagnant water, which is the 'dead spot'.

Trains, being wiped out, these are all external factors that can stimulate them, so on the whole, they will instinctively move towards the stronghold.

But this mobile attitude is not firm. Maybe it's hot today, and there are many people sweating profusely at the stronghold, making these zombies smell a little "human" from a distance, so they will take two steps in this direction at a leisurely pace, but a light rain or wind, It is possible to interrupt their train of thought and become a wandering state again.

Of course, there are also those tendons that move towards the stronghold without hesitation. This is the one that needs the most vigilance and precautions. Among them, the tendons of the fast and violent corpses and wild corpses are the most dangerous, because once they appear, they will leave behind. The time for the human side to react is often very limited, and a ranger has no way to shoot him before he rides in the face.

Zhao Wenrui did some calculations. If a ranger spotted a swift and fierce corpse early and shot at the furthest attack distance, then he would almost have to shoot against the swift and fierce corpse with its claws scratched to kill it.

Only after becoming a veteran can you kill the swift and fierce corpses and even the wild corpses on the way to charge.

In other words, if two swift and fierce corpses came to catch fish, a patrolling ranger would probably be killed if he fought hard, and even if he could win, it would take a lot of time to recover afterwards.

Without his help and command from the perspective of the gods, rangers, not to mention circles, or kite tactics, may fail.

You must know that the core requirement of the zombie attack is hunting and eating, so it prioritizes hunting and killing, rather than finding a strong opponent to compete.

This means that once ordinary people or even ordinary facilities are exposed in its field of vision, or within a certain range, it will give priority to attacking facilities or ordinary people, which leads to the location of patrols and the implementation details of kite tactics. There is something to say. If not done well, it will be self-defeating.

But there are always more solutions than problems.

Zhao Wenrui quickly came up with an unsolvable solution, which was to collect the sweatshirts of the engineering soldiers and cover them with oilcloth.

Once necessary, the oilcloth will be removed, and there must be a simple wooden fence in front of this sweatshirt.

This bag of Hanyi can be used as an additional means of attracting hatred for soldiers who do not have the ability to "smell hatred". Zombies with low IQs don't have much concept of going around the target. As long as they can see the moving target and confirm the smell, they will choose to destroy everything in the way and take the so-called shortest route.

In this way, before the wooden fence is destroyed, soldiers can stand and output with peace of mind.

Of course, this trick can only deal with sporadic fishing. If there are more than 10 people, the soldiers are approaching the city and there is no attack space, and the zombies may bypass the wooden fence.

At the same time, as the number increased, the destructive power of the zombies also increased greatly, and the wooden fence couldn't hold up a few times.

But even so, Zhao Wenrui's strategy is still far beyond Jonathan's imagination.

In such a huge stronghold, the guards are in single digits, and there are almost one or two soldiers guarding one direction. Later, even more, the entire stronghold was sent to patrol one or two soldiers in key directions, and the rest actually took the initiative to attack and wipe out the zombies!

My dear, this stronghold is simply a delicious meal with thin skin and big stuffing. Just a few zombies can complete the snowball and completely subvert it. This is too suspenseful.

What particularly dissatisfied Jonathan was Zhao Wenrui's attitude towards the forest area.

Of course, the mountains are high, the forests are dense, and the boulders are jagged, which effectively act as a barrier. It should not be regarded as absolutely risk-free.

Could it be that looking at the forest area that looks extremely deep even in daytime, there is no fear and precautions against the unknown and uncertainty.

Of course there is, but it's still the same sentence, since you end up, you have to trust the referee.

Zhao Wenrui once believed that the purpose of the Vientiane Gate system was not to torture and kill reincarnated people in various perverted ways.

But now Zhao Wenrui believes that the purpose of the Shining System is not to kill him.

This system with a steampunk skin and a high-tech core, he thinks it is trustworthy, more reliable than his cheap relatives in this world.

Since the concept given by the shining system, certain directions are in the state of isolation-level barriers, it means that zombies will never come in from there. If there is a change, the system will definitely give a reminder.

Therefore, although the dense forest in the south was deep and dangerous, Zhao Wenrui bit the bullet and believed that there was no problem there. Didn't even go check it out in person.

Recently, he has been really busy, busy commanding limited soldiers, clearing out the zombies around him, and building a stable rear.

In fact, not only the dense forest in the south, but also the river in the east is a problem.

Although the river is rushing and the zombies can't swim, it is less than 50 meters wide after all. What if the zombies are seduced by the increasingly strong human flavor here and successfully swim to the death?

But under the default of the shining system, this river is at the isolation level, which means that there is no chance.

Well, let's take it for granted.

Also, hunter huts, fishing huts.

These are all attached to the Shining system, which can be said to be an important means to obtain stable food production in the early stage.

But in fact, people in the Obernin Kingdom do not have the habit of eating wild animals, for fear of infection.

Especially on the east bank of the river, the land has been corroded by viruses, showing the characteristics of sick floating soil. When the sun is strongest, it glows like oil paint, which makes people easily think of chemical waste and other substances.

With such riverbanks, are the creatures in the river edible?

But if the Shining system says there is nothing wrong, then there is nothing wrong.

What's even more amazing is that whether it's a hunter's hut or a fishing hut, its food output is constant. You don't care whether the hunter's hut is raising mice to hunt mice or whether the fishing hut is raising loaches. , qualified meat can appear.

And it’s in a semi-frozen state, so it’s a lump, and I can’t tell what kind of meat it is. It tastes like chicken, but the fat content is slightly higher, which makes it more delicious. Jonathan said it was good after eating it, but when asked, Zhao Wenrui could only infer that it was a new technology.

So much new technology that even Tesla's wireless power transfer system is becoming specious. Although the difference seems small, the core has changed a lot.

It can be said that the new shining system is completely established within the power transmission range built by the Tesla power tower. If it leaves this range, even a wooden wall that does not require electricity cannot be built.

This is the price, the price of being bound by the system and not being able to create freely.

But this price is tolerable for Zhao Wenrui, because it is exchanged for extremely high work efficiency, and creations with absolutely reliable quality, not to mention there are people who obey orders and perform their duties.

Although they are generals, there are not many people under the management of Kleven Zhao. The core is the 100 people in the command center, who occupy all important positions, including the backbone positions of the engineering corps specializing in construction.

The next level is skilled workers, skilled workers correspond to veterans, they are excellent construction talents, and the original officers and soldiers are basically transformed into skilled workers.

Skilled workers also constitute the main force of the available population, and soldiers are selected from this class and then trained.

Once again, a class can be called a newcomer, an assistant, and an apprentice. Anyway, this is the role played. It has nothing to do with age. It mainly depends on the mastery of relevant skills, and secondly depends on the mentality and will. With the increase in the population of the stronghold, there are not no apprentices in their forties or fifties.

Finally, there are free people. They represent the average population of 4 people in each tent. The two populations that cannot be counted as the disposable population are equivalent to non-labor forces. They can be women, children, or the elderly. They fill the gap that the shining system cannot provide. All blanks make the stronghold form a complete small society.

This is a vulnerable group and it is difficult to have a voice.

As the saying goes, the economic pillar of the family speaks the hardest. In the background that the head of the family is controlled by the Shining system, most of the time these people just make useless complaints and then accept it.

In fact, apart from some fears, for most of them, life is better now than in the past.

What people usually ask for is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Clothes, for people in this era, clothes are a luxury.

Hundreds of years have caused most of the cotton and wool fiber clothing in those towns to degrade, and attacking zombie-infested towns is definitely a matter worth considering the pros and cons repeatedly, and it is very difficult to do.

For the Obernin Kingdom, the land is the most precious, and there is not enough land to grow cash crops such as cotton.

Therefore, the source of people's clothing is nothing more than the fiber of wild plants and the fur of wild animals.

Many people wear so-called blends that feel like the sack sheets of yesteryear.

In this context, the work clothes provided by the base are as precious as wedding dresses.

Food, in the Kingdom of Obernin, people in the slums are basically struggling to survive, eating a kind of paste to survive, and often there is not much oily smell all year round, and there is not enough food for people to eat, so naturally there is no margin to raise livestock.

The limited pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. are not available to the poor.

So how many poor people are there in Obernin? A little more than one-third of the total population, by percentage, less than 40%.

In the Zangjin Valley stronghold, people can eat whole wheat bread. Although there is a bit more bran, it is still much better than the previous diet. What is even more rare is that there are two slices of meat every day, one piece of animal meat and one piece of fish meat. The source of synthetic meat is suspicious, but firstly, it does not eat dead people, and secondly, it does not turn people into zombies, and it even tastes good, so what else do you want?

Live, people who came to hide the Golden Valley, when they were in Obernin City, many of them had no land to stand on, no tiles to cover their bodies, and they lived in rented places, which required payment, but here, the homesteads were assigned to They are here, and that is their home, where they live and live. Although it is a tent now, it can be turned into a house in the future.

And even the tents are more comfortable than the ones they used to live in.

In fact, this is also a place that Jonathan doesn't understand. Because the tarpaulin used in tents is not cheap in Obernin, even more expensive than mudstone bricks and tiles.

This is because Obonin has no shortage of clay and coal, which means that it can burn paper bricks, but cotton and linen are very expensive, and it is normal that tarpaulin is expensive.

And the tents that Zhao Wenrui ordered people to build used the thatch cloth that was of exceptionally good quality, uniform and dense, and coated with a layer of glue to protect against wind and rain.

Jonathan asked about the origin of these sheets, Zhao Wenrui refused to say more, but vaguely revealed that it seemed to be related to external forces.

Jonathan couldn't help but fantasize.

"Dwarves? Or new humans? It should be impossible for green skins. The creation of green skins is very rough, and the possibility of Titans is not very high. They are hostile to all races except themselves..."

In any case, even living in tents is a pleasure for many Obonin people who migrated here.

Only in the last line, General Zhao established a hierarchy and strictly divided the areas of activity. The lowest level of civilians had a particularly limited scope of activities.

Most people can still be considerate and understand this. Zangjin Valley, a human settlement, is still in its infancy, so it is natural to be careful.

Although the living area is restricted, the natural scenery of Yilin Riverside is still wonderful and pleasant.

Therefore, the people in Zangjin Valley are generally satisfied.

Especially since General Kleven Zhao took office, there has been no news of a single death in battle, and people have never even seen zombies. People know that this is not because there are no zombies here, but because General Zhao is capable and his strategy is right...

In general, in less than a week, Zhao Wenrui won the basic trust of the people in Zangjin Valley.

At this time, his farming can barely keep up with the pace of the plan in general, and what should be completed at the current stage of the original plan has basically been completed.

First of all, zombies have been cleared from the Yangchang Valley Road in the west.

Jonathan suggested to build a pass at the end of the valley road.

But Zhao Wenrui gave up after thinking twice.

The construction of the pass is not a small amount of work, which will seriously hinder other constructions.

In addition, he didn't want to use this step to provoke the invasion of zombies outside the valley to the west.

So in the end, it maintained a state of stagnant water, at least from the outside. If a wandering zombie occasionally entered the canyon, it would be strangled by the two rangers stationed there.

So how much power was put in there in the end?

Two rangers, equal to 240 gold + 2 wood + 2 available population, a wooden sentry tower, 120 gold + 10 wood. A wooden gate with a steam mechanism that can open itself when a train passes by, 60 gold + 10 wood + 4 metal parts and equipment.

So much, if not counting the Tesla Tower.

With this little resources, one direction was settled, and the west gate of the entire Zangjin Valley was closed. Jonathan said it was awesome when he saw it.

And in the early morning of the fourth day, the Rangers completed the cleanup of the Gold Hidden Valley area, especially the Valley of the Valley.

The specific location of the valley in the valley is on the other side of the mountain where the mine is located, but the entrance is not at the mine, but needs to follow the foothills to the north for about 2 kilometers.

There, there is a pocket-shaped area. To the west is a steep mountain, and to the east is the foothills where the mine is based. In this valley, there are many zombies.

After cleaning, according to the analysis of the remaining artifacts, it was once a refuge for survivors.

Probably survived a failed frontier mission for 20 years, but eventually fell due to a shortage of supplies. The Sentinels even obtained a batch of resources here that can be recognized by the Shining System, including food. Zhao Wenrui couldn't even think of what kind of food was made with simple utensils and crafts. It could be stored for several years, and it was still edible and nutritious.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the Shining System recognizes that it is a great thing. He used these resources to add two Rangers, a Tesla Tower and three camp tents backhandedly, which is equivalent to earning back the investment on the Gut Valley Road in advance.

Although the terrain in this valley is good, it is not suitable for building farms or setting up facilities such as windmills and generators. Zhao Wenrui finally established the "Erben" here.

As one of the core facilities, the main function of the second book is to unlock a series of related technologies, such as farms and wooden houses, which are very valuable.

However, key technologies, such as markets, snipers, and ballistas, all need to be unlocked with technology points in the technology tree.

Technology points can only be obtained after completing a mission or exploring a dungeon of a mission, so Zhao Wenrui can only look at it for now.

But Erben still has its basic value. It itself is a large factory building with light rail and cranes. With it, the overall production efficiency can be improved, and prefabricated parts can be manufactured, making the construction of facilities faster.

Add some simple facilities to the second book, and then seal the entrance of the valley, which is a good barrier. Even if Zangjin Valley falls, it can be guarded for two or three days longer, and maybe reinforcements can be waited for.

Of course, Zhao Wenrui didn't put his energy into building such a shelter for the Golden Valley. He is racing against time, racing against the tide of corpses that will arrive in 10 days.
