Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 47 Beast Horde Charge

"Trucks, yes!" Xu Rui answered after thinking for a moment.

But when the truck was delivered to Wu Ou, although he hadn't expected it to be a 100-ton truck, he was surprised to find it was a small truck, the kind usually used in rural areas to transport autumn vegetables to the city for sale.

However, it's barely usable.

"Get all the fuel ready!" Wu Ou sighed. Something is better than nothing.

Keep in mind that it's been a year already. These things were either broken or dismantled, so it's already quite good that some have survived.

"Okay!" Xu Rui nodded in agreement.

Over here, Wu Ou, Yan Chi, and Bai Zhou worked together to design the transport vehicle.

"First, the original loading structure needs to be changed to maximize the transport space and simplify the seating as much as possible."

"For other cargo transportation, leave room, but not too much." Wu Ou first set the basic framework.

Because he knew very well that when people's living conditions were not good, they would usually try to take all their "important" things with them when they moved.

This applies to both relocation and escape.

Therefore, in order to put these people at ease, we still need to preserve some places, but not too many.

Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to finish loading all the cargo.

"That's no problem, but according to your requirements, even with sufficient fuel, it would be difficult to power such a large transport vehicle." Yan Chi shook his head as he looked at the rough drawings provided by Wu Ou.

The three buses were parked side by side and "joined" together, with the truck in front providing the main traction.

Adding the weight of the modified materials and the weight of the full load, it's no lighter than a train-style truck convoy.

"I'll make the electric engine; Bai Zhou has already provided the blueprints. You'll be mainly responsible for reinforcing the main body and the external armor."

"Furthermore, I'm thinking of creating two symmetrical sections here, which can serve as battlegrounds for the defensive forces," Wu Ou said, adding a few more strokes to the drawing.

"Okay! Theoretically, it's possible. I'll go do the calculations."

"But are you sure the three of us can accomplish so much?" Yan Chi looked at the client like a beast of burden, gritted his teeth, and felt a mix of frustration and helplessness.

"We'll break down some parts and manufacture them using machining tools. The modification plan is ready. Let's do this step first." Bai Zhou had already taken out the modification plan.

Yan Chi glanced at it and knew it was indeed feasible.

"Ahhhh! My power tool!" He couldn't help but stroke and hug his power tool, as if his wife was about to be taken away.

"Alright, have some ambition. Once we get to the northern base, you'll have your own machine tool factory, and you can modify it however you want." Wu Ou rolled his eyes at his clownish behavior.

Yan Chi immediately regained his composure. "It's a deal!"

After saying that, he prepared to start working.

After the three of them divided the tasks, they each got to work.

On the other side, Xie Rui and the others watched as Wu Ou and his team busied themselves, processing one item after another and finally loading them onto the modified transport vehicle.

"It's really unbelievable that Yan Chi is capable of doing this!" Miao Zikai looked at the gradually taking shape steel 'chariot' with a look of eager anticipation in his eyes.

After all, men are easily attracted to such steel behemoths.

"It seems that after this, we should also start to pay more attention to people with special abilities," Xie Rui said, glancing at Zhu Linlin.

How can there be such a big difference between people with the same type of special ability evolution?

Zhu Linlin was a little embarrassed. "This requires a lot of knowledge, and I don't have many professional books here. But I can help make new types of combat suits. I've already mastered the technique of weaving metal wires into combat uniforms!"

Although she is also using her abilities to demonstrate her value, the starting point and comprehension are different. Expecting her to be as proficient as Yan Chi and Bai Zhou in using her abilities to manufacture precision instruments is indeed asking too much.

Xie Rui understood this, of course, and could only comfort her by saying, "You also played a significant role. It's just a different job! Maybe you'll be able to do the same as them in the future."

The relocation plan for the northern base was not being concealed, so this huge transport vehicle naturally did not intend to hide its construction progress either.

Many people have seen how, starting from three abandoned buses, a small truck, and a pile of scrap metal, it gradually transformed into a huge, somewhat futuristic and rugged transport vehicle.

Many young people even felt an urge to come and help.

After all, the opportunity to participate in the creation of such a mechanized behemoth is extremely appealing.

More importantly, Wu Ou also took this opportunity to discover several people whose mental strength had not yet reached the first level.

On one hand, they asked these people for help, and on the other hand, they provided them with some meat containing relatively abundant source energy.

In just one week, a source energy scientist actually emerged.

He was a college student who should have graduated normally, but he was delayed in his final year.

With an extra person to help, even if they weren't skilled enough at first and needed guidance, they still had no problem getting started with the simplest parts shaping and material assembly.

With one more person, the speed naturally increases.

And because, in order to restore their source energy, they can only rely on compressed dried meat, plus the mental recovery ability of spiritual source energy users is stronger than that of ordinary people.

So, while restoring energy, we also took a break.

Naturally, the four of them maintained a working state that continued day and night.

It was late at night again. Wu Ou and Bai Zhou had just finished installing the operating assistance system for the transport vehicle and were about to start it up for a test.

At that moment, not far from the Linjiang Shopping Mall, several pairs of bright eyes appeared.

Roar--

The owner of the eyes let out a roar, the loud sound even shattering the windows of some nearby buildings.

In the darkness, many figures emerged from the corners and even underground, gradually converging on the source of the sound.

Boom boom boom!

A series of heavy footsteps approached, and the owners of those pairs of eyes quickly bowed their heads toward the source of the footsteps.

Moonlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon this place.

A giant crocodile, over twenty meters long, stood in the moonlight, like a king who had conquered the night.

"Roar—!" he roared, and the animals that had been restless before suddenly fell silent.

Looking down at the gathered energy beasts, the Beast King Crocodile's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.

Clearly, it looks down on these weak beings.

But when it thought about how badly it had been beaten by that human and how it had almost lost its right to continue absorbing energy, it couldn't hold back its anger!

Even though it will take some time before it can absorb all the energy there, it doesn't want to wait any longer.

Looking at the Linjiang Shopping Mall base in the distance, the Beast King Crocodile issued a command—

charge!
