Invincible Chapter 939

In the face of obstacles, under normal circumstances, zombies will follow the obvious path to try to bypass, but if the urgency value or hatred value exceeds a certain limit, they will cross in a straight line or advance destructively depending on the situation.

The night attack of the fishing zombies on the 12th triggered a new situation, that is, when the roads are too convoluted and the number of zombies is constantly decreasing, even if there is no target nearby, the zombies will go berserk and start to advance in a straight line.

For the zombies, the rangers on the arrow tower are basically invisible, because the equipment of the rangers basically cuts off the possibility of being regarded as a "meal", especially since there is no major movement, and the sound of shooting is suppressed. Covered by the sound of the wind, and studies have shown that the vision of the zombies will also be affected to a certain extent at night.

The combination of these factors caused the zombies to not be particularly interested in the arrow tower and the ranger above unless they were relatively close.

In this context, their goal is still the original 'human taste'.

The humans in Obernine City once thought that the zombies had a more sensitive sense of smell than bears, and could smell prey from several kilometers, or even more than ten kilometers away.

But in reality, this is not the case. In the case of long-distance and ultra-long-distance, what attracts zombies is actually the spiritual energy field.

The more people there are, the bigger this field will be. For zombies, it's like people in a dark wilderness looking at the bright lights of the town at the end of their line of sight. , but it is confirmed that there are towns there, because the lights illuminate the sky, which is obviously different from the darkness in other directions.

But it must be said that this is a big and general goal. The zombies only know that the direction is the cafeteria. Rely on the sense of smell and vision to identify and hunt.

So, Zhao Wenrui was a little embarrassed to find that although the fishing zombies didn't pay special attention to the arrow towers in the dark, surrounded by horses, which kept reducing their numbers, but the constant reduction made them berserk, so they went straight forward, and unexpectedly moved forward at a relatively fast speed. For the price, after passing the Juma area, he came to the mine.

Even if the ranger followed his instructions and opened the oilcloth bag and exposed his sweatshirt, the effect of pulling hatred was mediocre, and the berserk zombies were just a muscle for admitting death.

This means that in the whole process, the arrow tower does not have a long time output opportunity. The layout of the arrow tower + horse rejection array is not worth the candle, and the investment is large but the return is small.

Two fish-hunting zombie teams came from the general direction where the mine was located, and in the end they relied on the quick response troops and the circling tactics to kill all the zombies that rushed through the Juma area.

Although there were no casualties in the mine, the damage was serious, and the value of the safety barrier was only the last trace.

The so-called security barrier value is the default effective protection strength of the system. Once this value returns to zero, it means that zombies can basically invade the interior, and the result is a massacre.

And in this almost messed up night battle, Zhao Wenrui discovered another detail about the zombies. That is, when they can't attack a specific target, the hatred value is not stable and can be drawn away.

This time the mine was able to be saved because the zombies who had no attack positions were lured away and circled around, while the rest of the zombies were "opening the cans" hard, although they fought very seriously and passionately, they were constantly shot and killed. There was a problem that there were no personnel to supplement the attack position, and the follow-up was weak, and finally failed to break through the main facility of the mine.

Since the quick response force needs to protect the mine, the eastern defense line of Qingcao Town has accepted the severe test of the other two fishing zombie troops.

The total number of the fish-touching zombies and the zombies in the surrounding area is close to 500, while the defender has only 16 rangers, so that the wooden wall has been breached.

If it weren't for the long-term shooting to stabilize the hatred, and the sweat clothes were used earlier, causing the zombies to siege the arrow tower frantically after opening the gap, the situation would be really big.

Afterwards, Zhao Wenrui was also a little scared, and deeply realized the unreliability of taking it for granted and "single wall mounting".

At the same time, I am once again thankful that my cautious style has played a role. When he opened the mine before, he faced two choices. The quarry was in the west and the iron mine was in the southeast. He needed both of these mines, and the latter was a necessary resource for training assault infantry.

After the Battle of Zangjin Valley, he used the technology points he obtained to purchase the training authority of the assault infantry, but it has not yet been converted into actual benefits because of the lack of so-called iron mines recognized by the system.

After weighing again and again, he finally chose a conservative approach out of caution, expanding in one direction instead of advancing at the same time, otherwise it is estimated that the two lines have collapsed now.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on the 13th, the lack of investment from the Zhao family finally arrived.

Zhao Wenrui didn't beg or question, but chose to deal with it coldly, showing an attitude of "having money is a way to play with money, and having no money is a way to have no money".

Then Zhao Clan couldn't stand the pressure anymore.

Because the powerful group represented by the king is not a good stubble. When they saw the situation, they asked directly whether the Zhao Clan had any difficulties. If there were difficulties, there was no need to hold on. There are quite a few people who invest or increase their investment ratio, and are willing to 'share their worries' for the Zhao Clan.

These people don't care whether Kraven Zhao has betrayed the family, as long as he fights for the kingdom and hands over the conquered areas to the kingdom, so as not to delay them from gaining benefits, then there is no problem at all.

Judging from the current development of Zhao Wenrui's new stronghold, Qingcao Town seems to be stable, and it may even be another non-destructive victory...

Mr. Zhao has a problem with Zhao Wenrui, but he has nothing against Qian. Especially the hunting corpse ranch. After this place was conquered by the pioneering general, it had a great impact on the Zhao family's main grain business.

If Zhao Wenrui can successfully establish a stable base this time, it will naturally be of great benefit to the Zhao Clan.

On the 13th, Kraven Zhao's brother Bruce Zhao arrived in Qingcao Town with the supplies.

In Zhao Wenrui's eyes, this name is not very good, because it translates to Zhao Senlin.

Zhao Senlin was trained as an official successor since he was a child, and he was old-fashioned, steady and polite at a young age.

Zhao Wenrui thinks this is a good thing for him. If it is really that kind of brotherly relationship that is too life-like and can talk about everything, he, a Xibei guy, will easily reveal his secrets.

He went to meet Bruce at the station, and immediately expressed that he had changed so much since leading the army that even he himself was surprised.

There is no one who has given the "vaccination" so directly.

Next, it was more like a show of "Welcome Leaders to Inspect Work". Zhao Wenrui took Bruce around to explain the situation here.

For the ranger who Bruce was more interested in, he basically didn't hide it, took him into the barracks, and learned about the process of the ranger's birth.

And said frankly: "The technology is not in my hands, all I can do is freely control the production and creation, as well as personnel."

Bruce asked casually in a hurry: "Then does the other party mind if we send someone to pick up the technology?"

"I don't think I mind." Zhao Wenrui added: "In fact, as far as I know, as early as the later stage of the Battle of Zangjin Valley, some people in the military department used various methods to do this in a half-covered way. There is no movement over there, I thought the family was not interested in this stall."

"It's not that I'm not interested, but I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed."

"What's wrong with me? This system, the army, is just a borrowed tool for me. The easier it is to use, the more it proves that the ownership and supreme command are not in my hands."

Bruce smiled from your heart, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's good that you can have such an understanding. What the family has been worried about is that victory makes you inflated, forgetting that the other party is just using you as a weapon. It is your most reliable backing."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. The stronger the other party's support, the more it means that the other party has a choice, not me. If you want to pick up technology at home, you can just send someone over. I'm also picking up technology, and I'm selling it outside. Take advantage of the price to sell."

"..." Bruce felt that the old man might have made a mistake in his judgment this time. His younger brother didn't intend to betray the family, but he had indeed changed a lot from the past. The original Kleven Zhao would not cheat himself so freely.

Pit yourself? Zhao Wenrui didn't think so. He felt that this matter could be explained by Master Qi Baishi's saying, "He who learns from me lives, and like me dies."

The Shining system is basically an interrelated system. It looks like steampunk, but in fact some high-end places are higher than the cutting-edge parts of the modern industrial system he knows.

This means two situations. First, the most high-end part is too difficult to deconstruct, and the technology cannot be removed.

Second, those that can be deconstructed need corresponding support from other links, and substitutes will seriously reduce performance or increase costs, and are not practical and cost-effective.

For example, the Tesla Tower of Shine System. Not to mention its core components, even the iron frame on the base is a new material technology + manufacturing process for the Kingdom. If you want to obtain this technology, you need only real objects.

Zhao Wenrui didn't even mind letting Bruce visit the different-dimensional warehouse, and said half-jokingly: "I was worried that you would be like everyone else, jealous of my good luck."

Bruce said with a very lively smile: "Where, it's too late for me to be happy. We can be brothers. If you are developed, can you treat me badly?"

Of course I can't wait.

Why do you want to be treated badly?

Compared with the territory, various creations, the army, etc., Zhao Wenrui cares more about himself. The "Perfect Man Project" is his foundation, and the rest are just foreign objects and tools.

The train on the afternoon of the 13th brought the refined steel he obtained through trading.

Obernin guards an iron mine with abundant reserves and excellent quality, so there is no shortage of steel.

However, the processing technology of fine steel is relatively complicated, and the output is not high, so the price is much more expensive.

And fine steel is the only iron ore that the system can identify and transform into 'shining iron'.

Zhao Wenrui purchased a batch of fine steel by exchanging tents and work clothes for fine steel.

After exchanging for shining iron, the training of assault infantry began. For him at present, the only use of shining iron is to make assault infantry.

The appearance of the assault infantry is full of steampunk elements, and the steam-assisted power exoskeleton plate armor is reminiscent of the plate armor and power armor suits of the peak era of cold weapons.

Assault infantry is also equipped with single-piece electronic night vision goggles and breathing masks.

It's just that their breathing masks are not dust-proof, but more chemical-proof, with a tube connected to backpack-style equipment.

This equipment provides special oxygen, which can keep the assault infantry in good condition. At the same time, it also leaves room for strengthening. For example, through the change of the gas inhaled, the infantry can obtain effects such as excitement and pain passivation.

Zhao Wenrui spent a whole day conducting various non-combat tests on the assault infantry, so as to intuitively understand the combat power and characteristics of this unit.

After that, the double barracks continued to train assault infantry.

At the same time, he also let the non-systematic workers in Qingcao Town open kilns to burn bricks, and collect materials such as bricks and stones from the ruined area.

The ruins are about 1 km west of the quarry, built on a mound. As far as the normal site selection is concerned, there is no better location than here within tens of kilometers around. The terrain is high, so you don’t have to worry about stagnant water, moisture, mosquitoes and other problems. The view is wide, and the distance between the quarry and the forest area is moderate...

However, such a mixed stone and wood fortress seemed very weak in the face of the zombies who were not afraid of death as soon as the gong sounded, and was pushed away without even showing a wave of corpses.

In addition to issues such as tactical concepts, Zhao Wenrui felt that the original pioneers faced a very serious problem, that is, there was no way to solve the problem of immediate mutation of combat troops' injuries. But being ridden in the face is a situation that the side that sticks to it will almost inevitably face.

So if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

This is also an important reason why he would rather let the regular army of the kingdom serve as the police rather than go to the front line.

Shining soldiers will not mutate if they are bitten or scratched.

Now, with the addition of assault infantry to the order of battle, the margin for error has become even higher.

On the 15th, the first batch of kiln bricks were fired, together with the bricks and stones obtained from the ruins, a brick and stone barrier was built at the east end of Qingcao Town. This has made the defense here qualitatively improved.

On the 16th, when the improvement of the horse rejection area and tactics in the west was completed, a fishing brigade with more than 500 at that time became free inspectors for the new horse rejection and new tactics.

The biggest difference between the old and new Juma is that the new Juma is wrapped with barbed wire. Zhao Wenrui purchased a wire drawing machine and a large number of wire rods to produce a large amount of wire, and then mobilized people to make barbed wire in their spare time by earning points by hand. The production capacity is still very impressive.

Although the barbed wire has very little chance of piercing or scratching the zombie's skin, when they rush too violently, there is a higher probability of being entangled. And their formation is always very dense, which leads to tripping and stampede problems, which leads to chaos and group slowdown.

Zhao Wenrui also learned his lesson this time. He didn't let the soldiers shoot on the arrow tower, and simplified the road complexity of rejecting the horse array.

Facts have also proved that there is no need for a maze at all, it will only make it more difficult for others to identify the way. To deal with brainless zombies, a few simple twists and turns are enough.

Facing the assault infantry's volley of guns, the zombies quickly went berserk. They could directly see the assault infantry, and the straight-line distance didn't seem too far away.

But if you really launch a straight-line charge, you will find that this choice is extremely difficult and dangerous. Simply put, you have to step over the fence and pits, and you will be shot and killed non-stop during the period, and you will have to endure pushing and shoving from behind.

As a result, the scene of groups of people turning their backs on their backs appeared again and again. With a distance of only a few tens of meters, it was difficult to move, and corpses paved the way.

After finally riding the face, there is not much combat power left. Zhao Wenrui issued an order for the assault infantry to withstand the pressure and approach and shoot.

After the inspection, there were no injured people above the middle level, let alone broken ones.

Zhao Wenrui has an increasingly intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness and protective capabilities of the assault infantry.

As soon as the battle was over, he launched a bold campaign based on his experience that there must be a period of time after every fish-catching zombie attack.

It took about 60 hours to concentrate most of the existing combat power in the hands of Qingcao Town's eastern front barrier, and completely wiped out the southeast region including the iron mining area, pushing it all the way to the designated area of ​​the system. It was only about 500 meters away from the boundary line of the area before it stopped.

At the same time, on the domestic front, he is in no rush to get the Tesla tower and mine up. Instead, the tent was transferred to the wooden house, and the residential area in the core area of ​​Qingcao Town was completely finalized.

In this way, the system can further increase the number of available population and money, but the gap in food production capacity has further increased. He pre-sold the tents that were transferred from the tents to the wooden huts in advance, and together with the batch of grain brought by the Zhao Clan, he supported the situation.

Zhao Wenrui's plan is to explode the logging field, and then take advantage of the abundance of money and wood to quickly establish a defense system for the salient in the southeast region. While mining iron ore, let the zombies play the game of spear and shield.
