Chapter 27: Building the Basic Machine Gun Tower!
Lin Feng roughly understood that during the process of attacking the zombie horde, a safe area needed to be cleared, allowing the system to set up defensive positions.
If the soldiers could hold their ground, the construction process would proceed relatively smoothly. However, if the military strength was insufficient, the entire process would become very challenging.
After all, the zombies outside were not few in number. Resisting the simultaneous attacks of tens of thousands of zombies was no simple task.
Upon returning to his shelter, Lin Feng instructed his soldiers to rest. Since the Zombie Tide Gate couldn’t be opened at the moment, there was nothing else to do.
“I wonder what Lin God’s plans to do with all that food he bought.”
“Yeah, I stockpiled over a hundred jin of food, and it hasn’t been very useful. We consume it a few jin at a time, but now I’m out of white crystal stones for upgrading during building assaults.”
“Hah, I’m not selling. The price of food will definitely rise slowly.”
The market price for food returned to the initial rate of 5 jin per white crystal stone, which Lin Feng anticipated.
He decided not to sell the food he harvested this time, as his own stockpile wasn’t very large. With no more buildings to assault, Lin Feng’s development came to a standstill.
It was now a little past 3 p.m., and less than 24 hours remained until the Zombie Tide Gate would open. By noon tomorrow, the gate would be open.
Lin Feng no longer paid attention to the discussions in the world channel and instead focused on his own tasks.
“Unlock the AWM sniper rifle!” Lin Feng mentally instructed the system. He had almost forgotten about the AWM blueprint after returning.
【Unlocking, please wait…】
【AWM sniper rifle successfully unlocked! Please open the exchange store to view details.】
“Open the exchange store.”
【AWM Sniper Rifle: 30 yellow crystal stones per unit (Note: Essential equipment for upgrading marines, unlocks unit: Headshot Sniper)】
Lin Feng was delighted. As expected, the AWM was used to unlock a new unit type, and it was a sniper. Initially, he thought snipers would have limited utility in the apocalypse, but the high-caliber sniper rifle would undoubtedly deal devastating damage to high-tier zombies despite its slower firing rate.
Moreover, the zombies were evolving. Lin Feng saw unfamiliar zombies passing by the windows, such as one covered in pus that seemed ready to explode. The zombies outside might already have reached Tier 3…
Since Lin Feng didn’t have enough yellow crystal stones to exchange for the sniper rifle, there was no need to dwell on it for now.
【Personal Gene Evolution Task: Use the Tang blade to kill 200 zombies. Reward: Increase maximum health by 100 points!】
Lin Feng received the task. Although killing 200 zombies seemed challenging, it was achievable with the right strategy.
After accepting the task, Lin Feng began working on his next project: assembling a machine gun tower!
The materials for the basic machine gun tower were almost ready. Now, he needed a generator to power it.
Using white crystal stones as a power source would be too extravagant.
Lin Feng went downstairs and called Zhang Heng over. “Do you know how to use the generator we found earlier?”
Marine Zhang Heng nodded. “No problem!”
He then went to work on the generator, while Lin Feng gathered all the necessary materials.
“Open the defense facilities panel!” Lin Feng mentally instructed the system.
【Opening defense facilities construction panel…】
【Materials required for Basic Machine Gun Tower: one computer panel, 10 units of steel, one camera, one AK rifle, 10 white crystal stones.】
【Current shelter defense level: 20】
Lin Feng immediately exchanged for an AK rifle from the exchange store.
【Exchanged for 1 AK rifle, consuming 20 white crystal stones. Your current balance: 161 white crystal stones, 9 yellow crystal stones.】
“Confirm construction of one machine gun tower!” Lin Feng instructed the system.
【Constructing Basic Machine Gun Tower…】
【Machine gun tower successfully constructed! Consumed: one computer panel, 10 units of steel, one camera, one AK rifle, 10 white crystal stones.】
【The construction blueprint for the machine gun tower has been issued!】
A blueprint exuding a metallic aura appeared in front of Lin Feng.
The blueprint depicted a machine gun tower!
Lin Feng walked into the living room on the first floor of the villa, observing the busy scene.
At that moment, Da Niu was leading the Iron Guards in establishing a defensive line, piling up debris at the entrance. They created a makeshift passage at the entrance of the Zombie Tide Gate, ensuring they only needed to defend a small opening rather than multiple points.
However, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips.
“Don’t block this entrance. Move all the resources from the first floor to the second floor!” Lin Feng ordered directly.
Da Niu was momentarily stunned but complied with the command.
Since the entire villa’s staircase was a transparent, visible spiral staircase surrounded by breakable glass, the staircase could be seen directly from the second-floor living room!
In other words, they could let the zombies in and then defend the staircase from the second floor!
