There are Zombies at the Door, My Gunmen Have Auto-Aim Cheats! - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Iron Guard, Unmovable as a Mountain! Combat Power Upgrade!

【You now have 219 jin of food, 1062 liters of water, 93 white crystal stones, 2 yellow crystal stones, 500 units of steel, and 5000 units of building materials.】

This time, Lin Feng was able to exchange for steel and building materials so cheaply due to the information asymmetry. He knew that once other survivors secured their second buildings, they would start collecting resources from the public.

When that happens, the prices will inevitably rise.

Of course, Lin Feng could have used an even cheaper price, such as 20 jin of food, to exchange for the same amount of building materials. He believed that this could be accomplished within an hour, given that there are still tens of thousands of survivors.

However, doing so would tarnish his reputation, which would be counterproductive.

As for the 500 white crystal stones needed for the upgrade, Lin Feng wasn’t counting on that for now—it would take too long.

【Detected that you now have 2 yellow crystal stones. The store has unlocked the crystal exchange function…】

The system notified Lin Feng in his mind.

【10 white crystal stones can be exchanged for 1 yellow crystal stone, and 1 yellow crystal stone can be exchanged for 8 white crystal stones.】

As expected, the exchange rates were just like in a game, with the middleman profiting from the difference.

“Yellow crystal stones can be used to exchange for items that white crystal stones can’t, right?” Lin Feng asked the system in his mind.

【Correct. Higher-tier items can only be exchanged using higher-tier crystal stones.】

Lin Feng decided not to dwell on these details for now and began to inspect the villa he was in.

The facilities in this villa were similar to those in his shelter, but the resources inside were different.

Under Lin Feng’s instructions, the soldiers dismantled the items in the cabinets and used a wooden plank to connect the villa to the house where they initially were.

Although the process of sliding the plank to the backyard was somewhat troublesome, it successfully connected the two houses.

After an hour of rest, the injured soldier’s health recovered to over 70 points, allowing him to move independently.

Watching the wounded soldier’s injury gradually heal, with new flesh growing, Lin Feng took a deep breath. This game world truly had rapid healing.

However, this quick recovery was only possible with a place to rest. On a tight battlefield, injuries would still lead to casualties.

Lin Feng led his soldiers back to the other villa to rest and transported all the resources over.

“Good work, everyone. Go rest now,” Lin Feng said to all the soldiers. He wasn’t worried about zombies entering through the tide gate, as the opening times were fixed.

“Thank you, Master!” The soldiers prepared to withdraw.

“Da Niu, Zhang Heng, and Wang Sheng, stay behind,” Lin Feng added. Wang Sheng was an elite armed militiaman.

The other soldiers went to rest. Lin Feng had designated two rooms: one for the armed militiamen and one for the armed infantry. They also needed to recover their stamina, and resting would help them do so quickly.

“Master, please give your orders,” Regular Army member Zhang Heng said respectfully.

Lin Feng said in his mind, “Open the Exchange Store!”

【Exchange Store is now open】

【Bullets: 50 rounds/1 white crystal stone】

【Type 97 Rifle: 40 white crystal stones each】

【AK Rifle: 20 white crystal stones each】

【Steel Shield: 20 white crystal stones each】

“Exchange for one Steel Shield and one Type 97 Rifle! Also, 100 rounds of handgun bullets, 100 rounds of AK bullets, and 200 rounds of Type 95 bullets,” Lin Feng said in his mind.

【Exchange successful, items being dispensed…】

【Successfully exchanged for Steel Shield 1】

【Successfully exchanged for Type 97 Rifle1】

【Successfully exchanged for various bullets 50*8】

【Total cost: 68 crystal stones】

【Remaining balance: 25 white crystal stones, 2 yellow crystal stones】

Then, in front of Lin Feng, appeared a cold, black Type 97 Rifle and a black Steel Shield.

Lin Feng handed the Type 97 Rifle to Zhang Heng. Regular Army member Zhang Heng was clearly surprised to receive a new gun, as his experience points were not yet full.

“Make good use of this gun,” Lin Feng said.

【Regular Army member Zhang Heng’s loyalty increased to 99 (absolute loyalty)!】

Zhang Heng knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, “I will not fail you, Master…”

Lin Feng then handed the AK Rifle that Zhang Heng had replaced to elite armed militiaman Wang Sheng.

Elite armed militiaman Wang Sheng’s face turned red, and he knelt on the ground, “Thank you, Master!”

【Your elite militiaman has been upgraded to Regular Army!】

【Regular Army member Wang Sheng’s loyalty increased to 83 (absolute support)!】

The Steel Shield was naturally given to Da Niu. As a potential tank commander, he needed to be well-trained, especially since he had already comprehended a skill.

“Thank you, Master. Da Niu is willing to go through fire and water for you!” Da Niu knelt on the ground and accepted the shield.

【Your elite shield-bearing militiaman has been upgraded to Iron Guard!】

【Iron Guard Da Niu’s loyalty increased to 87 (absolute loyalty)!】

【Reading character panel data…】

【Iron Guard: Da Niu】

【Health: 600】

【Stamina: 600/600】

【Attack Power: 10】

【Talents: Unmovable Mountain (With a loud shout, stands firm like a pine tree, increasing impact resistance by 50% and boosting the impact resistance of nearby lower-tier shield-bearing soldiers by 20%), Top Strike (Consumes 100 stamina, lifts a zombie not higher than one tier above himself for one minute.)】

The Iron Guard’s health was astonishingly high!

“You all can go back now…” Lin Feng said, and then he went upstairs, heading towards his room—the same room he had started in.

He was going back to use the Gene Serum!
