My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle

28. Collect materials



After finding Akashi with the list of required materials, Gu Zhuo kept thinking about Chaoying's condition in his mind, so he seemed a little absent-minded.

On the contrary, Akashi seemed extremely excited because he had regained his freedom and had just replenished his weapon arsenal.

When he saw the large amount of materials Gu Zhuo needed, he couldn't help but be surprised. Although he suppressed his curiosity, in the end he couldn't help but ask him what he was doing to collect such a large amount of materials.

Gu Zhuo was too lazy to think of other reasons, so he half-truthfully told him that these materials were used to repair his car.

Hearing this, Akashi was surprised that they still had the leisure to repair the car, but he still proposed that their people could help them together.

After all, there is strength in numbers, and dozens of people working together will definitely be faster than just a few. Moreover, among Akashi's team of survivors, there were also several who were specialized repairmen before the apocalypse.

Gu Zhuo naturally doesn't need any repairmen. His mechanics can completely take over their work and do it hundreds of times better than them.

He bluntly rejected the help Akashi wanted to provide, and just asked if there was anyone in his team who knew the distribution of materials in the high-tech industrial park. He needed some rare metal materials in the industrial park.

Although he was rejected, Akashi still seemed very enthusiastic. He thought about it carefully and remembered that there seemed to be such a person among the survivors.

That person was originally an intern in the industrial park, responsible for the high-tech industrial chain. He should have a good understanding of the distribution of these rare metals.

Hearing this, Gu Zhuo asked Akashi to take him to find the survivor.

The survivor was a young man, about 24 years old, and a top student who had just graduated. Originally, he came here for an internship in his major, and he would be able to become a full-time employee after a while. He didn't expect that everything happened so suddenly, and that the world changed so quickly.

Fortunately, he still saved his life, which was a blessing among misfortunes.

The intern was familiar with the process and took Gu Zhuo and others to a factory dedicated to storing rare metals. Fortunately, this place was a little far away from the building that was burned down yesterday, and the fire did not spread here. The rare metals in the factory were not lost at all.

After counting the number of rare metals, the rare metals in the factory are just enough to upgrade the Doomsday Fortress.

Originally, the interns felt distressed that all these rare metals were given to Gu Zhuo for free, but according to Akashi, Gu Zhuo left almost all Liu Yihu’s food and warmth supplies to them, and in this doomsday environment, it is impossible to treat high-tech Continue the research.

The intern then willingly continued to count the rare metals for Gu Zhuo.

With the help of Akashi and the interns, he collected the rare metals to be used and the materials that Gu Zhuo estimated might not be available in another factory, and loaded them onto two large trucks. The next goal was to go there Another factory marked on the map.

What Gu Zhuo originally thought was that he would drive the Doomsday Fortress, dragging two large trucks containing materials behind him, and head to the steel plant alone.

But when I think about arriving at the steel plant, there are so many materials there that I can't even count them by myself. Even if I can count them, it will take a lot of effort to move them all to the Doomsday Fortress.

Gu Zhuo didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing, so he simply accepted Akashi's help this time.

Akashi sent four survivors who were factory workers to drive four large trucks next to Gu Zhuo's car, and headed to the steel plant with Gu Zhuo.

Those four people can help Gu Zhuo count the materials he needs and help him transport all the materials he needs and place them next to the Doomsday Fortress. This can save Gu Zhuo a lot of time.

After the four people help Gu Zhuo do all this, it won't be too late for them to come back.

In this way, everything was discussed, and in order to thank Akashi for the assistance, Gu Zhuo simply left all the compressed food he had collected from Liu Yihu to them.

Then, Doomsday Fortress and four large trucks set off toward the steel plant on the other side of the city.

When he returned to the Doomsday Fortress, Gu Zhuo noticed that Chaoying had fallen asleep on the table at some point.

No matter if she was asleep, Gu Zhuo carefully tried not to disturb her, after all, she wouldn't be sad when she was asleep.

...

The steel plant is neither far nor close to the high-tech industrial park. The group drove for about half a day, with Gu Zhuo taking the lead, and finally arrived at their destination in the afternoon.

After arriving at the destination, several people started to get busy.

They counted the materials they needed according to what was listed on the materials list, and then put all their energy into loading the materials onto the truck.

Fortunately, despite the extremely low temperature, some transportation machines in the factory can still be used. With the hard work of several people, in the middle of the night, all the materials needed were prepared, loaded on the truck, and parked next to the Fortress of Doom.

This busy schedule made Gu Zhuo realize how important it was for him to upgrade the robotic arm of the Doomsday Fortress. Without the help of these workers, it would have taken him at least three or four days to prepare all this by himself.

At the same time, these workers also discovered that there was no well-disciplined army on the Doomsday Fortress and that there was only "one person" Gu Zhuo.

But Gu Zhuo didn't take it to heart. Even if they went back and told Akashi about it, Akashi had other thoughts and wanted to rob him of his supplies. As long as his car was still there, they would not be able to succeed.

And as soon as the Doomsday Fortress is successfully upgraded, Gu Zhuo will go back to the small village where the oil tanker is kept, drag the oil tanker and leave City A forever, and will not return to the high-tech industrial park that has become a base for survivors.

After confirming that all the materials had been collected, Gu Zhuo had to separate the four workers in order to prevent others from seeing the upgrade process of the Doomsday Fortress.

He originally wanted the four workers to drive the truck back, but what he didn't expect was that the four workers followed Gu Zhuo all the way. They didn't know the road at all in the ice and snow.

Naturally, Gu Zhuo didn't want to waste time sending them back first. After all, what if they went back first and told Akashi the fact that he was alone, and things happened out of thin air.

After much thought, he simply decided to let the four workers drive the truck and live outside the factory. I just closed the factory door, locked the Doomsday Fortress and myself inside, and quietly upgraded.

After the upgrade is completed, send them back the same way. Once he sends them back to the survivor base, he will immediately speed up the Doomsday Fortress and run away, so that no one can catch up.

The four workers initially complained about being allowed to live outside the factory, but Gu Zhuo took out a pile of food and thermal supplies from the car, which was enough for the four of them to survive for at least a week.

Not only that, Gu Zhuo also left a walkie-talkie for one of the workers and told them that if they ran out of food and daily necessities, they should contact him through the walkie-talkie and he would come out to continue to provide them with daily necessities.

After ensuring that Gu Zhuo would not let them suffer from cold and hunger while living outside for a few days, they acquiesced to this proposal.

However, the four workers still had some complaints. After all, it would take such a big car and so many materials for such a young man to do it by himself. I'm afraid it would take him who knows how long.

If they hadn't seen the tragic situation in the industrial park after the battle between him and Liu Yihu, and knew that this young man had some special methods, they might have thought that Gu Zhuo was just an arrogant rookie who didn't understand mechanical design at all and was self-righteous.

After placing the four workers outside the factory, Gu Zhuo closed the door of the factory and was temporarily isolated from the world.

He stood in front of the mountain of materials, closed his eyes, and summoned the "machinist" again in his mind.

The mechanic appeared again, and then another familiar sentence came into Gu Zhuo's mind:

"Scanning current material..."

"The current materials have been scanned and are enough for the 'Fortress of Doom' to be upgraded..."

"The upgrade takes three days. All problems in the Doomsday Fortress will be automatically repaired during the upgrade..."

"During three days, the Doomsday Fortress will not be activated, and the host will not be able to use the Doomsday Fortress. Will the host still continue to upgrade?"

The upgrade only takes three days. Although the Doomsday Fortress cannot be used during these three days, Liu Yihu, the biggest threat to City A, has been eliminated.

As long as enough supplies are prepared, nothing unexpected will happen in these three days.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo did not let the mechanic continue the upgrade for the time being.

He returned to the car, woke up Chaoying who had been sleeping until now, and briefly told her the current situation.

Afterwards, they took a bunch of supplies that were enough to survive for four or five days, and brought enough rations for Sam. Gu Zhuo also took out two tent accessories from the cabinet.

Just in case, Gu Zhuo took some firearms and ammunition collected from Liu Yihu from the trunk and placed them next to the Doomsday Fortress vehicle, where they could reach them at any time.

They also have something to protect themselves if something unexpected happens.

After making sure that everything was ready, Gu Zhuocai continued to give orders to the mechanic in his mind:

"Doomsday Fortress, upgrade confirmed!"
