Anime Crossover: Many Children, Many Blessings; Yukino, the Wife from the Apocalypse

Page 304

Yu Guangzheng shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness on his face:

"I'm afraid that won't work. Bullet manufacturing requires highly precise technology and equipment, and there can be no room for error. However, the conditions in this small town are limited, and even modifying machines would lack the necessary materials and equipment."

He paused, then continued, "At the very least, we need to go to the county town to find some usable machinery and modify it. Although the bullets produced this way might be rather crude, it will at least solve our immediate problem."

Upon hearing this, Nakano Tensei frowned.

However, Chang Wei interrupted his questioning at this moment. He looked around and said loudly:

"Alright, let's put the bullet manufacturing on hold for now. We can discuss it when the conditions are right. Now, I hereby announce that Professor Yu Guang will become our weapons advisor, enjoying the same treatment as a captain."

He paused, then continued, "When we successfully manufacture bullets in the future, Professor Yu Guang's treatment will be further improved."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

In this competitive and dangerous world, exceptional talents like Yu Guangzhengzhong are undoubtedly something every power desires to possess.

Although their team is still small, their attitude towards talent is unambiguous.

Upon hearing this news, Yu Guangzheng felt an indescribable surge of joy.

He knew this was a great opportunity for him to stand out in the team and an important step for him to realize his self-worth.

Finally, I was able to shake off the shadows of the past and step into a new life.

He thanked Chang Wei with deep gratitude, his joy beyond words.

Afterwards, everyone gathered together and chatted for a while before getting back to their own business.

At this moment, the town seemed to be injected with new life. The influx of seven hundred people brought unprecedented vitality to the place.

However, what followed were countless problems that urgently needed to be solved.

Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are all urgent matters; housing allocation, food management, gun storage, town defense and patrols, and so on—these tedious tasks all put people under great pressure.

Fortunately, Yoko Okino was there, and with her excellent command skills, she arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Under her leadership, the seven hundred people quickly integrated into the town and became its new masters.

The town, once shrouded in zombies, has now returned to its former prosperity.

With the addition of the original nearly one hundred people, the town's population has reached nearly eight hundred.

Here, the elderly don't need to work, children can go to school, and they can eat steamed buns, vegetables, and even delicious meat every day.

Chang Wei was not harsh on these people. He knew that children were the hope for the future, and the experience and wisdom of the elderly were equally valuable.

At the town gate, the simple gate that was once made of rattan and wood has been replaced by a sturdy metal gate.

Beside it, a four-meter-high wall made of reinforced concrete stands there, resembling a city wall.

This was Nakano Tensei's idea; he knew the importance of defense.

Having experienced the last zombie horde attack, they understood even more clearly that without a strong defensive fortress, the town would ultimately be doomed.

So they used a lot of cement, steel bars and metal to build this "city wall".

The city wall also had gun barrels on both sides for their use in battle. The entire wall was over ten meters long, enough to accommodate dozens of people fighting at the same time.

Once the zombies attack, the ten light machine guns will be able to exert tremendous power and protect the peace of the town.

The town is surrounded by a small mountain and a river, with a road leading to the Jiangzhou Expressway running through it.

Surrounded by hills, it is an excellent place to grow crops.

However, it was already late autumn, and it was no longer possible to plant crops; they could only wait for the arrival of spring next year.

To ensure the safety of the town, a wire fence separates one side of the town from the hill, creating a relatively enclosed space.

Here, people can live in peace and work together to protect this new home.

At the top of the mountain, most of the leaves had turned yellow and were gently falling in the wind.

People often venture to the summit out of curiosity, hoping that with a bit of luck they might catch some wild game to add to their feast.

284. A massive crisis is coming! A level 7 mutated beast leader!

However, patrols constantly moved back and forth on both sides of the barbed wire fence, their eyes sharp, strictly prohibiting anyone from crossing the boundary.

Every corner of the town is brimming with vitality, and every day unfolds like a brand new scroll.

Nan Lixiang and her team continued to lead their group out into the wilderness, fighting desperately against the zombies while searching for scarce supplies and missing survivors.

In just a few days, the town's population quietly increased by more than a dozen people.

Upon seeing this, Chang Wei arranged for Mrs. Quan to go to Ishihara Satomi's place to be in charge of registering new personnel and distributing supplies.

In this way, Mrs. Izumi can also keep herself busy, instead of just cleaning the house every day.

As for the little girl, Izumi Sagiri, Chang Wei arranged for her to attend the school.

There are fifty or sixty students and seven or eight teachers in this school.

The academic classes were taught by Mikoto Kashiwagi and others, while the combat classes were personally instructed by Ada Wong.

To Chang Wei's surprise, these students did not seem to have a strong interest in academic subjects, but instead showed great enthusiasm for combat training.

He couldn't help but wonder if these children harbored a hidden desire for power.

However, he also understood that in this apocalyptic world, the cruel reality had completely changed them.

They knew that only by possessing strong military power could they protect themselves and those around them.

That's why they're so enthusiastic about combat training.

Everything is moving in a positive direction here now, however, the progress is still negligible.

In this era, zombies roam freely, mutated beasts wreak havoc, and even humanity itself is undergoing daily transformation. Only by rapidly strengthening ourselves can we gain a greater chance of survival.

Chang Wei was sitting in the living room, deep in thought about their next steps.

Their current power seems quite considerable, and new developments are happening every day. But in Chang Wei's eyes, this is far from enough.

In the eyes of truly powerful forces, their meager strength is probably nothing more than ants that crumble at the slightest blow.

Therefore, they must constantly expand their strength.

Expanding military strength seems simple; all you need is food, guns, and men.

However, these three seemingly simple conditions have become the most difficult problems for them to solve.

The quantity of firearms and ammunition is limited, and once they are used up, they cannot be replenished;

They are also short of manpower, with fewer than a thousand people at present, making it difficult to accomplish anything.

Although grain reserves were sufficient, the lack of manpower became Chang Wei's biggest headache.

"Perhaps we could consider attacking the county seat?"

The thought flashed through Chang Wei's mind. Qingshui County, the closest county to them, had a population of only tens of thousands, but it was a strong industrial county with many small processing plants.

Once they successfully conquer it, their power will increase several times over.

However, upon thinking of the terrifying scene of tens of thousands of zombies and the shortage of manpower on his side, Chang Wei smiled bitterly and dismissed the idea.

Leaving aside the likelihood of success, the sheer amount of ammunition consumed was unbearable for them.

The ammunition we had before might have been barely enough to attack some villages and towns, but attacking a county town was simply a pipe dream.

"Alas, people always complained about having too many people before the apocalypse, but now they are worried about having too few people."

Chang Wei smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid gunfire rang out from outside, breaking Chang Wei's reverie. A hint of doubt flashed across his face; the gunfire didn't sound like it was during training.

A bad feeling quietly rose in Chang Wei's heart.

Just then, Nanlixiang rushed in, panting, and shouted:

"Chang Wei! Something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing Nan Lixiang's voice, Chang Wei's expression changed. He vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Nan Lixiang, urgently asking:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

He knew that Nanri Xiang wouldn't be so anxious unless she was facing a major event.

The gunshots he heard earlier made him suspect that something unexpected must have happened.

"A large number of mutated beasts suddenly appeared on the mountain. They have broken through the barbed wire fence. Fortunately, we discovered them in time and tried our best to stop them. But now the situation is critical. They are too powerful and there are too many of them. I'm afraid we can't hold them off for long!" Nan Lixiang explained to Chang Wei in a fast-paced voice.

"Come on!"

Chang Wei's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, he immediately accelerated at full speed and sped away into the distance.

Nanri Xiang also hurriedly used her skills to try to keep up with Chang Wei's pace, but she always lagged behind by a little bit.

At that moment, the people on the street were in a state of panic, and groups of combatants rushed toward the direction from which the gunfire was coming.

Chang Wei also saw many familiar faces, such as Satomi Ishihara, Kudo Umekawa, Kage, and Chang Chen, but he didn't see Sato.

Their faces were filled with doubt, but Chang Wei was too fast. They only had time to see a figure flash by before they could find him again.

".Da da da...Pfft!"

In less than a minute, Chang Wei arrived at the sound.
