Chapter 75: A Warehouse Clerk Who Can Do Farm Work

"Old brother, your electric blast furnace doesn't work well."

"... It may be that the power is not enough. I will see if I can use these copper wires to build a larger generator."

"Old brother, you are really a genius!"

When leaving the Woodworking Cabin, Chu Guang passed by the industrial area and saw several players in front of the steel-making blast furnace, wondering how to improve the steel-making technology.

The electric furnace improved from scraps seemed to have failed, and the problem seemed to be the power. The two players were discussing how to make a more powerful generator.

It would be great if it succeeded.

Muttering silently in his heart, Chu Guang, carrying a hammer, walked to the side of the brick kiln and found [Hold_the_sword_execution], who was instructing other players to burn bricks.

Since Old White switched to hunter class, the post of construction team leader has fallen onto Civil Engineer Brother Sword's shoulder.

"The three-meter-high wall is still too short. The marauders’ second round of attack will come sooner or later. I plan to strengthen the defense of the outpost. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Unexpectedly, the administrator would find himself to discuss such an important issue.

Hold_the_sword_execution was surprised at first, and immediately thought about it seriously.

"Looking at the marauder's weapons, we can see that they use Molotov cocktails, projectiles, and light weapons. Although the wall can prevent them from breaking through our defenses recklessly, the advantages it provides in the actual firefighting are actually not that great!"

"My suggestion is that we can gather building materials to build 3 to 4 meters high bunkers outside the wall, and then use Z-shaped trenches to connect these bunkers!"

Hearing this little player's suggestion, Chu Guang's eyes lit up.

This idea is really good.

The marauders were very similar to goblins in fantasy movies. Neither their firepower nor melee combat ability was very strong, and their advantage mainly lied in intimidation and harassment.

Intimidation was of no use to players; it would only make these lunatics more excited. The only thing that needed to be paid attention to was their ability to harass.

A bunker would provide a frontal suppression effect, and the flanking trenches could perfectly limit the maneuverability of marauders.

Could the marauders that have lost their mobility still be called marauders?

They would all be mobile "experience points"!

Even if they gritted their teeth, broke through the defense gap, and jumped into the trenches, what awaited them would be an even more cruel and bloody storm.

The only problem left was the players’ inability to hit a target with a gun.

But would they still need to worry about the accuracy when they fight with bayonets in the trenches?

In the minds of these players, there was no concept of retreat. Once they get excited, they wouldn't even mind blowing themselves up to get a few more kills.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang made a decision immediately.

"Let's do it your way, how much manpower do you need?"

Hold_the_sword_execution summed up in his mind and said.

"If you give me 20 people, I can do it in three days! If you give me 30 people, I can do it in two days at most!"

Digging trenches was not that difficult. With tools such as shovels and a few strength type players, it was estimated that it would be done in less than a day.

The main structure could be dug out first, and then the structure could be slowly reinforced with wood.

As for the bunkers, players could pull some cement blocks from the abandoned construction site and use wood and discarded steel bars to make beams, so building a rudimentary bunker shouldn't be a problem.

Chu Guang nodded.

"I'll give you 40 people!"

"40? Will it be too much?" Hold_the_sword_execution was stunned.

Chu Guang shook his head.

"What we lack is not people, but time. A batch of reinforcements will arrive on the surface tomorrow, and I will give you all these newcomers at that time."

There were 40 players who obtained the qualifications for the test in this batch—this number had broken the new record.

With so many newcomers pouring into the game, he had to find something for them to do, lest so many players run around like headless flies in the base.

While working for Brother Sword, they could also get acquainted with the work culture of No. 404 shelter.

In order to make Hold_the_sword_execution pay enough attention to this task, Chu Guang paused for a while and then continued to speak in a serious tone.

"This task is very important. I hope you will take it seriously. In addition, your contribution points and rewards will be determined by the quality of the fortifications."

"If the fortifications you design perform well in the next battle, there will be additional rewards."

Although the administrator didn't tell him how much the reward was, looking at the NPC's seriousness, Hold_the_sword_execution directly regarded it as a hidden task.

He straightened his back excitedly, pressed his right fist to his left chest, and said vigorously.

"I'll definitely complete the task!"

"Very good."

Chu Guang nodded in satisfaction.

"For the rest of the day, you can create a detailed plan and leave marks outside the wall. Then you can start work immediately tomorrow morning."historical

"Go."

...

A scout was caught last night, but no movement came from the marauders’ side all day. It made Chu Guang wonder what the bloodhand clan people were thinking.

Are you planning to wait for us to attack first?

Neither the plundering team nor the investigating scout returned. No matter how dumb the other party was, they should have realized that those people would never return.

The hunter squads scattered on the north and east sides of the wetland park were not only hunting mutants, but also hunting marauder scouts in coordination with the secret observation points.

It was still quite troublesome to wear an exoskeleton on the body, especially with a large hammer weighing 20 to 30 kilograms on the back.

Chu Guang walked to the generator and took off the equipment. He found a cable to connect the KV-1 exoskeleton to power and started charging it. After that, he began to patrol the outpost.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that two players were squatting on the corner of the granary, discussing something in a whisper, so he walked closer and took a look.

"What are you doing?"

...

Looking for volunteering editors to speed up my releasing speed.

You will be given a test chapter to test your editing skill and the knowledge of this project.
