Chapter 18: Machine Gun Tower Blueprint!
The spinning wheel in front of Lin Feng spun rapidly.
After a dizzying spin that even Lin Feng could barely follow, the pointer finally landed on an item.
【Congratulations on obtaining a rare blueprint—Basic Machine Gun Tower!】
【Reward being dispensed…】
In front of Lin Feng appeared a blueprint. The blueprint depicted a mounted rifle, with a box resembling a computer hanging behind the firearm.
【Blueprint detected—Basic Machine Gun Tower. Would you like to unlock it?】
“Confirm unlock!” Lin Feng said decisively. He had no intention of trading such a valuable blueprint.
Currently, no other survivors could afford to buy this blueprint anyway.
【Unlock successful. Defense device obtained: Basic Machine Gun Tower.】
【Reading data…】
【Defense Facility: Basic Machine Gun Tower】
【Attack Power: 30 damage/second】
【Health: 10】
【Maximum continuous attack time: 10 minutes】
Lin Feng noticed that the maximum continuous attack time matched the duration for which the zombie horde Zombie Tide Gate remained open.
However, the construction requirements made Lin Feng’s expression change. It wasn’t as simple as just needing white crystal stones.
【Reading required materials for construction…】
【One AK Rifle, one computer motherboard, one camera, 10 units of steel, 10 white crystal stones】
【Note: The machine gun tower requires energy, which can be supplied by either electricity or white crystal stones.】
Lin Feng examined the construction requirements and realized they weren’t particularly stringent. These items were relatively easy to obtain. What Lin Feng valued most was the stable damage output that the machine gun tower could provide!
It was important to note that upgrading the militiamen’s auto-aim skills to achieve such high damage would be too costly for Lin Feng at the moment.
Therefore, constructing the machine gun tower was essential.
Lin Feng quickly found a computer and easily removed the motherboard. For the camera, he used a surveillance camera, as he couldn’t find a mobile phone, which would have sufficed for all the required functions.
As for the steel, he already had 500 units, which was more than enough. The only thing missing was an AK rifle.
However, he currently only had 25 white crystal stones, which wasn’t enough. Moreover, it was too early to build the machine gun tower now, as it was a fixed defense point. The zombie horde Zombie Tide Gate would open in two days, at noon the day after tomorrow.
So Lin Feng decided not to tinker with the machine gun tower for now. After experiencing so much in one night, he felt mentally exhausted and needed to rest.
He opened the world channel and found it bustling with activity, with many people speaking.
“I’m dying. I’ve been infected, but I don’t have enough crystal stones to buy the infection antidote. Help me…” Seeing such messages, Lin Feng felt a pang of discomfort but knew he wouldn’t offer assistance.
Messages like these appeared on the world channel every moment. Lin Feng knew he couldn’t save everyone, so he chose not to waste his resources.
“Does anyone need good food? It’s braised meat. All the food I have is braised dishes, very salty and in short supply! One jin of braised beef for three jin of any kind of food!”
This message was from someone who had been reborn in a braised food shop.
“Heh. The person upstairs, we’re in an apocalypse, and you still want people to enjoy life? No one will use their crystal stones for such luxuries.”
“Yeah, yeah, can I trade one jin and one liang* of small bread for your jin of beef? If not, then forget it.”
(*One liang is equivalent to approximately 50 grams or 1.76 ounces)
“Right, at most one jin and one liang, definitely no more.”
The person was clearly unwilling to accept the deal, knowing that his braised beef, being ready-to-eat, was worth more than some small bread.
“No way…”
“Then you can wait to finish eating those non-filling foods and die.”
“Hahaha. Call me if you change your mind.”
Noticing the message, Lin Feng sent a private message to the person.
“Hello, I can trade two jin of food for one jin of beef. Would you be willing to exchange ten jin of beef with me?”
The person was visibly stunned, seeing that it was the renowned Lin Feng, who had been broadcasted across the channel earlier. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse. “Sure, thank you!”
So Lin Feng traded twenty jin of mixed snacks and rice for ten jin of beef.
Looking at the fragrant braised beef, Lin Feng placed it on the table downstairs and then went upstairs to sleep.
Outside the villa, zombies occasionally let out roars, a sound born from the deep hunger within their souls.
However, Lin Feng slept soundly, completely undisturbed.
When he woke up, he felt very refreshed. The scenery outside gradually turned to dusk.
It was already past six in the evening. The injured soldiers should have mostly recovered by now, and everyone’s stamina should be replenished. Lin Feng headed downstairs.
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Feng saw Iron Guard Da Niu standing at the doorway, holding his Steel Shield.
“Master is awake! Attention, everyone!” Da Niu’s voice was loud, and since he was right next to Lin Feng, the impact was particularly strong…
“Snap!” The six soldiers below immediately stood up, holding their guns steadily.
