” Huh?!”
Meng Xian was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.
Eagle came to the door and pulled a rope from the ceiling.
“Thud!”
The light bulb in the middle of the roof lit up.
“Now that our village has electricity, we also have more convenient hot water and hot food. I’m afraid everyone is unwilling to leave…”
Meng Xian reacted.
She was able to gather people because people believed in her strength and believed that she could bring a better life to everyone.
Moreover, even if she did, this kind of thing would not last long. At most, it would affect a few people. How could she make everyone listen to her and give up a good life to run away?
“So…We have no way out now!” Meng Xian was dumbfounded.
Just by going out for a while, he was tied to the same chariot as Zhao Yu?
They couldn’t escape now?
“Uh… Cooperating with Zhao Yu should be good, right?!” Eagle still thought Meng Xian might be unable to accept for a moment that someone she could have easily killed in the past was now above her.
Even their Meng house village had to rely on Zhao Yu for survival.
“Ah—!”
Meng Xian sighed deeply. She had thought about escaping with Xiao Liu and others, but she couldn’t bear to leave the rest behind.
After all, even though there were many people, she still had feelings for those who had followed her from the beginning.
She couldn’t just abandon them like that.
It took a good while before she could calmed down.
“Forget it, if we have to work with Zhao Yu, then let s do it… Meng Xian sighed deeply and said, “Where is he now? I’ll go and talk to him…” Eagle breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Meng Xian would do something drastic. He quickly reported, “Someone just reported that Zhao Yu is back. He brought six cars filled with supplies to their base…”
“Let’s go, let’s find him!”
“Hahaha!!!”
Zhao Yu stood at the entrance of the Munitions Factory and looking delighted. Just now, he had thrown a ton of fireworks and firecrackers into the Munitions Factory, which, as he hoped, yielded a large quantity of ammunition. According to his calculations, he could produce at least one hundred thousand bullets or dozens of shells.
This meant that the previously unused tanks could finally be put to use. Moreover, besides the gasoline reserves he had, after wiping out the thirty-six people who tried to rob them on the road, he returned to Peace Town and sold the excess guns and ammunition for more gasoline.
He could now operate at least five tanks and even conduct short-term warfare. Additionally, if he could use large electric vehicles to tow the tanks, he could easily make ten tanks.
Not only that, these ammunitions could also be converted into five missiles, suitable for fighter jets or reconnaissance and attack aircraft.
However, he was slightly disappointed that he got gasoline instead of aviation kerosene, as the conversion loss was too high and not very cost-effective.
“It’s enough, with tanks, taking down Wild Wolf Town shouldn’t be a problem…”
Zhao Yu coveted the one thousand technology points from the revenge mission. Once completed, his three major basic buildings would be constructed, and he wouldn’t be troubled by resource constraints. Of course, the known resources already had owners. To acquire them, he had to either seize them by force or find unexplored resources.
But anyway, it was better than relying purely on imports.
Zhao Yu checked the progress of various projects at the base.
The military base had expanded again, providing a large new area.
The previously damaged power generation equipment at the power plant had been repaired by the engineers, significantly increasing power output.
And the camp planned outside the east gate was taking shape, with houses built for a hundred people.
It had to be said, the fifty people from Wild Wolf Town were very efficient workers. Even without the threat of a whip, they worked very hard, fearing Zhao Yu would not need them.
Zhao Yu realized only now how tempting a promise of a full meal with at least one meat dish per day was for these tormented people.
“Now with 65 technology points left, how should I spend them…
A nearby division commander spoke up: “Commander, the power plant had reported that Meng Xian, the head of Meng house village, requests an audience…”
“Meng Xian?!”
Zhao Yu paused for a moment, realizing that this woman had returned from Black Stone City.
He also wanted to know about the situation in Black Stone City, so he nodded and said, “Let them wait there, I’ll be right over…”
“Let’s put the declaration of war aside for now…”
“Ah?!” Uncle Wang looked surprised.
Previously, this young master had supported the idea of striking against Zhao Yu’s forces.
Why did they back down just as the other side declared war?!
On the other end of the phone, the young master seemed to sense his subordinate’s confusion and said irritably, “My elder brother has been getting restless lately, seems like he wants to snatch business from me…” “They used your Wild Wolf Town issue to express dissatisfaction with me to the family, thinking it’s an unnecessary complication and detrimental to the family…”
“How could that be?!” Uncle Wang was puzzled. How could this be related to their family affairs?!
“The component factory in your Wild Wolf Town was given by me, naturally, it’s also our family’s business…”
The young master helplessly said, “This kind of thing can be made a big deal or a small one, but it still serves as an excuse for them to attack me. They’re turning a blind eye to the truth, but I can’t help it, our family goes by these rules…”
He was well aware of his family’s thought, which was to hope that the brothers would fight each other. In a struggle that didn’t involve the family’s interests, they could grow rapidly, so they could eventually contribute back to the family, and even lead the family to greater strength and prosperity..
