Apocalypse: Starting By Hoarding A Billion Food Additives - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Restored Communication,

Self-Made Weapons, Heading

Towards the City

The entire rescue team took two days to gather most of the survivors near the development

zone.

The rescue team continued to search for the remaining people.

The number of people in the development zone was relatively small, and because most of the warehouses were owned by various companies, there were sufficient materials.

But even so, the development zone suffered heavy losses after the disaster.

The population was only one-tenth of what it was before the disaster, so one could imagine how terrible the casualties in the big cities

were.

That place was probably no different from hell on earth.

“Xiao Cui, I heard that you are familiar with the people in this company in the development zone. Is that true?”

Xiao Cui was Manager Cui that Zhao Feng had saved.

Manager Cui nodded and said, “Yes. Many of the materials and goods purchased by many companies in the park will pass through our warehouse.”

“That’s why it’s a compulsory course for us to deal with other companies. Director Zhao, do you have any orders for us?”

Zhao Feng nodded and pointed to a relatively intact and tall building in the park.

“Do you see that house? Go and find a group of people and retrieve the communication

equipment from the underground city’s warehouse.”

“I want you to build a temporary

communication base station on this building.

Then, find a professional to make a

communication hot air balloon.”

“Now that the global wireless communication has been cut off, I want to use this communication hot air balloon as a temporary base in the air to build a new communication network that covers the entire New York City.” “I wonder if this idea is feasible? If we can contact the survivors in the city in advance, it may solve a lot of problems for our rescue work in the future.”

Zhao Feng’s words made Manager Cui fall into deep thought.

Establish a communication network through

the hot air balloon?

This idea was a little strange, even a little

old-fashioned.

After all, modern society had long eliminated the outdated tools of hot air balloons.

There were very few jobs that required hot air balloons.

However, Manager Cui quickly said in a certain tone.

“Director Zhao, you’re a genius. Your idea is feasible. I’ll get someone to do it now. I

guarantee that New York’s wireless

communication will be restored as soon as

possible!”

“When the time comes, as long as someone still has a communication device in their hands, they can contact our base!”

In addition to the task of rebuilding the wireless network, Zhao Feng had another very important thing to deal with.

That was the production of weapons!

In the previous rescue process of the survivors in the development zone, not every rescue operation was very smooth.

This was especially so when Zhao Feng

encountered survivors who were lacking in resources. These people would often show the truest side of the apocalypse.

In a park with almost no food reserves, the survivors were divided into three groups, and they had been fighting for limited supplies. As a result, there were fewer than 10 survivors

in the park. The company had nearly 100 people before, but when Zhao Feng found them, there were less than 10 people left.

This incident also served as a reminder to Zhao Feng. In the development zone where there were few people, battles between people for resources had already occurred.

If they went to the city, the number of survivors would only be more.

These people had already changed to adapt to the apocalypse. If they were saved, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents in the future.

Therefore, only with enough power could he intimidate the people in the underground city and make them follow the rules he had set!

Although there were many difficulties in manufacturing weapons, Zhao Feng had purchased many industrial machine tools before the apocalypse and stored them in the underground city’s warehouse.

Nowadays, there was no longer any regulatory

organization that would supervise the use of these machine tools. There were many talents in the development zone, even many R&D personnel from technology companies. He would get these people to modify the machine tools according to the information collected before the apocalypse, and they would be able to use them to produce weapons. Zhao Feng planned to keep his activities within the development zone. When some of the weapons were produced, he would organize a

group of fully armed city rescue teams and enter New York City!

In the apocalypse, every living force was very precious, and the value of a single person was no less than an entire factory.

Just like that, a month had passed since the

apocalypse.

The factory that produced weapons had already

been put into production half a month ago.

The first batch of city rescue teams had been officially established.

The rescue team had a total of 50 people, and each of them was equipped with the underground city’s self-produced weapons and

equipment.

Although these pieces of equipment were very

crude, and their performance could only reach the level of a century ago, they had enough

power. “We’re officially setting off for New York City today!”

“If any of you have relatives living in the city,

you can register in advance. If we pass by these

places on the way, the rescue team will help you search for your relatives and determine their living conditions.”

Zhao Feng’s words immediately caused a sensation in the underground city. When the apocalypse happened, many people stayed in the development zone for work

reasons, and their families might be living and working in the city.

In addition to the loss of communication, many

people still did not know the whereabouts of their family members.

Zhao Feng’s words undoubtedly ignited the people’s thoughts about their families. Moreover, as the saying goes, whether he’s

alive or dead, I want to see his corpse. No matter what the outcome of my loved ones is, there must at least be a result! “Director Zhao, I also want to join the rescue team!”

“I also want to join.”

“Give me a set of equipment. I want to enter

the city with you. My parents are in the city!”

There was a slight disturbance in the crowd. “Silence!”

As soon as Zhao Feng opened his mouth, everyone stopped talking.

Zhao Feng had a high reputation in the eyes of the underground city residents. Before the apocalypse, he was the boss of a company. No one could challenge Zhao Feng’s authority in the underground city.

“Quiet, I know you’re all very anxious and

want to know the whereabouts of your loved ones.”

“But entering the city for rescue is not child’s play. It’s much more complicated than the development zone, and we may encounter many unexpected dangers.”

“And we’re short on weapons right now, so we

can’t allow more people to join the rescue team for the time being.”

“But I can guarantee that when there’s an opportunity in the future, everyone can go to the city and go back to their homes to take a

look. “After the registration, the rescue team will set off immediately and enter New York City!” Ten minutes later, the rescue team took the

elevator to the surface and boarded a few cars parked in the park. They drove at full speed along the damaged road to New York City!
