My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle

16. Wait and see what happens



While driving the Fortress of Doom back to the warehouse, the "mechanic" in Gu Zhuo's mind told him that his fuel tank was still full.

During these few trips to and from gas stations and warehouses, Gu Zhuo always chose pure electric mode because it would not make any noise. Fortunately, the solar energy had been fully charged before, and the conversion efficiency was high, so that Gu Zhuo could afford to use electricity like this.

As for the fuel engine, Gu Zhuo planned to switch to it when he needed the Doomsday Fortress to drive faster.

When the Fortress of Doom is in fuel-saving mode, its fuel consumption is an astonishing 30 liters per 100 kilometers. 30 liters sounds like a lot, but considering the functions of the Doomsday Fortress and its overall volume, this fuel consumption is already very, very low.

Besides, thirty liters is just a drop in the bucket for the total oil volume of 6,000 liters filled with oil. Coupled with the special fuel-electric hybrid starting method, this fuel consumption is even more insignificant.

However, Gu Zhuo has not yet tried the weapon function of the Doomsday Fortress. If the two air cannons are used and the Doomsday Fortress is driven at super high speed, the fuel consumption will be estimated to increase several times.

Through the "Mechanic", Gu Zhuo learned that his Doomsday Fortress has an instant acceleration system. This instantaneous acceleration system is generally only available in high-performance sports cars, and cannot be supported by the size of his Doomsday Fortress.

But the "mechanic" is a black technology, which suddenly allows the big guy like the Doomsday Fortress to have an instant acceleration system. If you really want to go all out, the Fortress of Doom will automatically switch to a gasoline engine. It only takes 3 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, and the top speed can be as high as 430km/h.

Generally, in this situation, once the driver controlling the large vehicle is slightly distracted, the huge acceleration and resistance will produce extremely high collision force, resulting in the destruction of both the person and the vehicle, so there is no room for any mistakes.

But similarly, due to the existence of the "Mechanic", Gu Zhuo can choose to let the "Mechanic" help control the Doomsday Fortress. The "Mechanic" controls the Doomsday Fortress with 100% accuracy, which is equivalent to an artificial intelligence that is absolutely infallible.

It is precisely for these reasons that Gu Zhuo regards the Doomsday Fortress as important as his life. This is the only help that can help him survive in a desperate situation!

It took a while to thaw all the water in the mineral water bottle. Gu Zhuo stored the water in the water tank as drinking water.

After finishing what he was doing, Gu Zhuo relaxed, sat on the sofa, and said to Chaoying:

"Sooner or later, the man named Brother Tiger will find us here. We have to move to another place."

Chaoying was not idle, she was busy in the kitchen.

Gu Zhuo took her in and was responsible for protecting her safety. What Chaoying had to do, in addition to drawing design drawings for him and helping him upgrade the Doomsday Fortress, was also responsible for the two's daily meals.

This was not something Gu Zhuo forced her to do, but the food he cooked was really unflattering. After Chaoying tried it, he took on the job himself.

"We still have to tow two tanker trucks away."

Chaoying responded to Gu Zhuo while moving his hands.

There are not many vegetables left in the refrigerator, only Chinese cabbage, carrots, and the last potato that can be stored for a long time.

I used Chinese cabbage and the refrigerated beef in the refrigerator to make a stir-fried beef dish with cabbage. I took out the carrots and stewed them with potatoes to make a hot soup. Chaoying worked hard on the two dishes in his hands and brought them to the table.

In addition to these two dishes, Chaoying also made half a pot of rice, put them into two bowls, and sat down to eat with Gu Zhuo. Sam's bowl was still full of dog food.

Looking at the hot food in front of him, Gu Zhuo stopped thinking about the troublesome things for the time being. He picked up the bowl, picked up a chopstick and put the stir-fried cabbage and meat into his mouth.

To his surprise, Chaoying's cooking was very delicious, at least to his liking.

It's freezing outside, but inside the Doomsday Fortress it's warm, with hot dishes and hot soup. For the first time, Gu Zhuo felt that having a woman by his side was so important.

"Continuing to talk about the tank trucks, do you plan to keep those two tank trucks in the warehouse, or tow them with you?"

Chaoying asked the question just now while eating.

Gu Zhuo answered her without hesitation:

"Of course we have to take them away together. The order in other cities must be the same as here. It may be worse than here. I don't know when it will be next time I want to live in peace."

After Gu Zhuo finished speaking, he paused and then said:

"We can find a remote, uninhabited place on the map, drag two oil tankers there, and wait and see what happens. Anyway, we have enough supplies on the fortress to survive for a long time, so we can avoid some unnecessary troubles. , is also the safest and most secure.”

"What about the materials you need to upgrade your Doomsday Fortress?"

Chaoying's question immediately stopped Gu Zhuo.

She was right. Although you could survive for a long time in a remote place, you would definitely be far away from various urban buildings, not to mention those large factories with many metal materials.

Without metal materials, even if there are blueprints, the Doomsday Fortress cannot be upgraded. If it cannot be upgraded, many of the functions Gu Zhuo wants to add cannot be realized.

Seeing that Gu Zhuo didn't answer, Chao Ying said:

"I've seen your design drawings, and many of the properties of your Doomsday Fortress far exceed military levels. The weapons that Brother Tiger has now must be some controlled knives, not too powerful firearms, etc. Take advantage of this. Their power has not grown on a larger scale yet, and your fortress is equipped with weapons. If we take the initiative, our chances of winning are actually very high."

Hearing this, Gu Zhuo was a little shaken.

Chaoying is right. If he chooses to fight head-on now, facing the so-called Tiger Brother, no matter how fierce they are, they are just a group of flesh and blood. What he owns is a real steel monster. As long as he doesn't get out of the car, his chances of winning will be very high.

However, Gu Zhuo's philosophy is to avoid fighting as much as possible to minimize the loss of the Doomsday Fortress. After all, no one knows whether the Doomsday Fortress will encounter any unexpected surprises that Gu Zhuo has not imagined during the fire merger.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing what Chaoying wanted to say, Gu Zhuo interrupted her. He took out his tablet, which had previously downloaded a clear and complete offline map. All important sources of supplies nearby were clearly marked.

The map showed that at the other end of the city, there was a large steel plant, almost the largest steel plant in the entire city. A large amount of metal materials that Gu Zhuo needs can definitely be found there.

In the city center, there is a high-tech industrial technology park. That technology park not only provides services for the best science and engineering university in their city, but also provides materials for various listed high-tech industrial companies. Therefore, it will become a source of rare materials that Gu Zhuo may use.

Apart from these two places, if you want to find another place that can satisfy Gu Zhuo's massive material needs at once, you have to find another city.

Highlighting those two places with markers on the map, Gu Zhuo deduced that Brother Hu and the others would definitely occupy the high-tech industrial park as a base.

The reason is simple. There are various materials and production technologies there. As long as Brother Hu has someone with strong hands-on skills in his team, he can easily create powerful weapons.

If you want to force a breakthrough, you must become enemies with Brother Hu and the others.

Gu Zhuo thought for a moment, closed the tablet, and then said to Chao Ying, who was observing his attitude:

"You still want to get back that photo of you and your brother's body, right? So you want me to fight Brother Hu. If I win, ask about that photo and your brother's body. easy."

Chaoying was not surprised when Gu Zhuo suddenly expressed his thoughts, and he didn't hide anything. She nodded slightly:

"That's right, that photo is the last thing I have about my family. I don't want to give it up. As for my brother's body, I just want to know where his final resting place is. In this way, my incompetent sister's heart It will also make you feel a little better..."

Chaoying did not show off, and her attitude was calm throughout the process. At the end, she added a few words:

"But my previous suggestions are indeed for your benefit. After all, before other disasters happen and there are no more changes, it is more convenient to find enough materials to upgrade the Doomsday Fortress. Reality.

"And the premise that I let you fight Brother Tiger is based on the fact that I think your chance of winning is very high, almost 100%. Otherwise, I would not make fun of our safety and life security. One photo and two lives, I can still tell which one is more important.

"Of course, I can understand if you don't want to. After all, I know all your concerns. If you still insist on your idea, then we will drag the tanker and set off according to your route."

After saying that, Chaoying left Gu Zhuo time to think, while he cleaned up the finished bowls and plates on the table and threw them into the dishwasher.

Gu Zhuo sat on the calfskin sofa, leaning on the comfortable backrest, and looked down at Sam, who had also eaten and drank enough. Sam was lying on the ground, wagging his tail lazily, unaware that his master was thinking a lot.

In the end, Gu Zhuo made a decision.

"Chaoying, I will not choose to take the initiative for some illusory reasons. Now that we don't even have a design drawing, it is still too unrealistic to just think about materials. And what if Brother Hu and the others have something to do with us? The unexpected trump card has caused damage to the fortress of doomsday, so the gain is not worth the loss."

What Gu Zhuo said made sense. Seeing this, Chaoying accepted the fact calmly and was about to ask him about his escape route.

Who would have thought that Gu Zhuo hadn't finished speaking yet:

"From now on, you can start designing the blueprints for upgrading my Doomsday Fortress. I will always park the Doomsday Fortress here and wait for your blueprints to be completed.

"When your design drawing is completed, my mechanic will calculate the required materials, and we will march towards Brother Hu and the others to snatch the materials we need! When to launch an attack depends on when your design drawing is completed. . If Brother Hu discovers us first and attacks us..."

Having said this, Gu Zhuo snorted coldly, his eyes became as fierce as a hawk:

"Then we will fight back without hesitation! Under normal circumstances, although I will not take the initiative to attack, I never said that I will not fight back!"

After hearing Gu Zhuo's plan, her mind was as active as Chaoyang's, and she suddenly understood that Gu Zhuo was looking for a step for himself.

As long as she takes the time to design the upgrade blueprint for the Doomsday Fortress, then they will have reason to attack Brother Tiger.

Once the attack is launched, if everything goes well, Chaoying will also be able to ask about his family photo and his brother's body. All in all, Gu Zhuo chose a decision that took into account her thoughts as much as possible while ensuring his own interests.

The tall and handsome man in front of her was more considerate than she imagined.

Chaoying smiled imperceptibly, and then said to Gu Zhuo:

"I understand, thank you."

This is the first sentence that Chaoying has spoken to an outsider since the day of the apocalypse, except for her brother, with true feelings.

Gu Zhuo shrugged indifferently, then kicked Sam lying on the ground and started playing with him.

Next is Chaoying's task. She has to make new structural upgrades on the design drawings according to Li Zhuo's ideas. This is not a simple task, but with the help of "mathematicians", Chaoying estimates that it will only take half a month at most.

For half a month, no one knows what will happen in the next half month. They can only follow Gu Zhuo's plan step by step.
