99: Milestone, the embody of the arsenal
The Death Warrior captain paid no heed to Loren's frantic wailing. However, since the man was still useful, the captain simply waved his hand. A few Death Warriors first shot and killed everyone around Loren, then two of them stepped forward, knocked Loren unconscious, and carried him away.
It was only ten-odd minutes after the Death Warrior squad had withdrawn that Luoda City's police and military finally arrived late to the scene.
At the same time, just as Loren was being taken away, every high-ranking government official throughout Luoda City was subjected to unidentified attacks. Among these, the greatest commotion occurred at the military barracks, especially the air force base. Hangers were blown up one after another, and the entire base was engulfed in soaring flames, visible to all residents of Luoda City.
For a time, the entire Luoda City fell into chaos. With no major figures left to maintain order, the chaos gradually escalated into full-blown riots.
Through the messages sent back by the assassination units, Bodo immediately realized it was time for him to act. He promptly ordered Satans Armed Forces to mobilize and head straight for Luoda City!
At around five o'clock the next morning, the citizens of Luoda City, who had spent the night amidst various uproars, finally felt the streets quiet down. However, the people stopping the rioters on the streets had been replaced by faces they found very unfamiliar.
The ones maintaining order were none other than Satans Armed Forces, who had successfully occupied Luoda City.
Due to the chaos in Luoda City, Satans Armed Forces easily marched into the city. They then split into several routes to occupy key areas, including threatening locations like the military barracks and the air force base.
Because of the deaths of the high-ranking officials, the army within the city had turned into a complete mess. Facing the fierce assault of Satans Armed Forces, surrender became the only way out for these soldiers.
With the army dealt with, Luoda City was officially brought under the jurisdiction of Satans Armed Forces.
Qin Yang also entered the city that morning. Upon entry, he headed straight for the National Bank of An Country, which had already been occupied.
For Qin Yang, the primary purpose of occupying An Country was actually to amass wealth. Through his recent confrontations with the Government Army and the rebels, Qin Yang had become fully aware that the main issue with his armed forces was their equipment. For Satans Armed Forces to continue growing and strengthening, relying solely on purchasing arms would absolutely not work. As for self-research and development, that was even more far-fetched; although he had talents like Mechanical Engineers under his command, starting from scratch meant that by the time the equipment was developed, the opportunity would have long passed.
Therefore, Qin Yang could only choose to use his 'cheat'.
Arriving at the bank vault, he found the place already surrounded by Death Warriors.
Seeing Qin Yang arrive, Bodo hurried over to greet him.
"Boss!"
"Mm. Has the vault been opened?" Qin Yang nodded in response.
"We found and secured the bank manager immediately. The vault can be opened at any time," Bodo replied.
"Did you ask how much money is inside?" Qin Yang continued to ask.
"It's not much different from the rumors. According to the bank manager, there are 346 tons of gold inside. The foreign exchange reserves are a bit less, totaling around 84 billion US Dollars."
"Wasn't it said to be nearly 100 billion?" Qin Yang asked back.
"We've already questioned him; it was embezzled by high-ranking government officials. But don't worry, Boss, several key government officials are now in our hands. Recovering that money is only a matter of time," Bodo hurried to reply.
"That's good. Interrogate them thoroughly. To dare embezzle my money, hmph," Qin Yang snorted coldly.
By now, the group had reached the vault door.
In front of the door, a sturdy Black man dressed in a formal suit was being guarded by two Death Warriors.
"Boss, he is the bank manager."
"Mm, have him open the door," Qin Yang nodded and replied.
Bodo then waved his hand, signaling the bank manager to get to work.
The bank manager had long been sweating profusely from fear. How could he dare to delay? Trembling, he entered the vault password and immediately opened the vault.
Seeing this, a Death Warrior first entered the door to inspect the interior, and only after ensuring there were no threats did he allow Qin Yang to enter.
When Qin Yang stepped through the vault door, he was momentarily stunned.
While Qin Yang's current wealth was certainly not small, it was his first time seeing such a vast amount of cash and gold.
After a long moment, Qin Yang finally snapped out of it. The vault was rectangular, roughly fifty meters wide, while its length seemed endless at a glance. On the floor were neatly arranged stacks of US Dollars and an coins. Even ignoring the an coins, Qin Yang couldn't tell just how many towers of US dollar bills there were.
The gold had all been cast into dazzling bars and was displayed on shelves to one side.
Surrounded by his own people, Qin Yang didn't bother with any secrecy. He communicated with the system mall and directly began to top up his credits!
Following Qin Yang's command, the space within the vault seemed to warp. Subsequently, the money inside began to rapidly disappear until only an empty hall remained. During this process, the an coins were also taken in by the system. Although the An Coin had devalued, it still held some value, though it only amounted to a fraction of the total.
Qin Yang then looked at the total amount the system gave for this batch of money.
The total was 830 billion!
Seeing this number, Qin Yang couldn't help but feel a momentary daze. It took a long time for him to process the figure. Of course, one shouldn't think this was an excessive amount; this was a national bank's vault. While An Country's private economy was poor, it didn't mean the state lacked money. After selling resources like oil and minerals for so many years, this inheritance was actually considered on the lower side.
Calming his emotions, Qin Yang clicked on the system mall.
He went straight to the third item in the mall: the Red Alert Intelligent Army Weapons Factory!
He clicked purchase, then confirm.
Immediately after, a cold voice reached Qin Yang's ears.
"Congratulations to the host for purchasing one Red Alert Intelligent Army Weapons Factory. The item has been delivered. The host can choose a location for manifestation; the manifestation area must not be less than fifty hectares!"
"Phew!"
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, a satisfied smile appeared on Qin Yang's face.
He was also an impatient person and wanted to see quickly what a Weapons Factory worth 300 billion RMB could bring him.
So, Qin Yang called Bodo to ask if there was a suitable location near Luoda City to manifest the Weapons Factory.
Bodo only had a superficial understanding of Luoda City, but he found a former minor official of the city to conduct a detailed inquiry.
After screening, a suitable location was quickly selected.
The location was in the outskirts of Luoda City. The overall terrain was a plain, the area was sufficient, and moreover, no one lived there.
After checking the location, Qin Yang was quite satisfied. He immediately communicated with the system and chose to manifest it.
Once the command was issued, a deep blue light curtain enveloped the location. Then, after roughly ten seconds, the light curtain dissipated. Qin Yang focused his gaze and saw a series of factories full of technological flair revealed before his eyes.
