165: Cheng Xiao's Changes

Upon hearing that a weapon production line was to be built, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

In fact, Dawn Base had already spent at least 300 tons of food to purchase weapons during the past period.

As more and more food went out, fewer and fewer weapons could be exchanged.

Because others knew you had food but no weapons, they slowly raised their prices.

Initially, one kilogram of rice could be exchanged for a magazine of bullets, but now it has risen to two kilograms.

Moreover, the weapons originally left by the military and police in Z City were not many, and they had been exhausted in the eight years of the apocalypse.

Unlike the neighboring X City, which had a large armory.

As the saying goes, 'hoard grain but not guns, and you are my granary.' If it weren't for the excellent performance of Dawn Base in the last two times, forces from other provinces and cities might have already attacked.

Pan Han had already noticed this problem.

So he planned to quickly buy weapons in his own world and then transport them over.

In Pan Han's world, to buy weapons, one either goes to Eagle Country or Africa.

In Eagle Country itself, gun ownership is legal, and there are many black market channels; as long as you have money, you can buy any type of firearm.

However, acquiring heavy weapons is more difficult; Africa is very suitable. It is constantly plagued by war, warlords are rampant, and the legal system is incomplete, so it is possible to buy some artillery and armored vehicles.

After observation, Pan Han believed that the weapons from his world were perfectly fine for dealing with zombies and low-level evolvers.

Even for an Intermediate Evolver, as long as he doesn't come in a mecha, there's a way to deal with him.

At worst, an overwhelming attack will work wonders.

"Commander, it's hard to find weapon experts. There are no armories in the several provinces and cities near us," the fourth brother, who often travels outside, reported quickly, as he probably knew the situation.

"It doesn't matter, then we'll train them ourselves. At least rifles, grenades, and landmines, these small things, should be understandable through research," Qin Zhong, as an old soldier, had a deep understanding of weapons.

"Hmm. Anyway, as long as we start, there will always be a way!" Pan Han agreed with Qin Zhong's view.

The apocalypse looks like tattered rags, but isn't it also a blank slate?

There has never been a savior; only oneself can save oneself.

Just do it!

"Then let's set a small goal: to achieve self-sufficiency in light weapons in the short term, and no longer exchange food for them," Qin Zhong intended to make a military pledge.

"Let's walk on two legs. You research the armory, and I'll research the armory," Pan Han slapped his thigh.

Feeling that everything that needed to be explained had been, it was time to go back.

Pan Han sighed, there were too many things. When could he quietly lie down and enjoy life? It seemed he was not only fated to be a loser but also to be overworked.

"Everyone, stand up!" Qin Zhong shouted, and all members of the Dawn Squad instantly stood at attention.

"Commander, please leave with peace of mind. With us here, the Base will be absolutely secure!" Qin Zhong expressed on behalf of everyone.

Pan Han smiled slightly, Old Qin, when he gets serious, is truly unyielding.

"Very good! Dismiss. I'm leaving."

After everyone left, Cheng Xiao accompanied Pan Han to the small room on the second floor.

"Come back soon." Cheng Xiao's bright eyes were teary, and her hands caressed Pan Han's collar, helping him straighten it.

"Don't worry! We're an old married couple now, why be so clingy?" Pan Han held her hands and kissed them.

"You said before that the warehouse you transmigrated to was extremely, extremely large. Are you going back this time to explore the armory?"

"Hmm. I need to take a look. There are many small rooms inside that warehouse that I haven't entered. I need to figure out a way this time." Pan Han recalled how he had previously lied to Cheng Xiao, saying that every time he went back, he transmigrated to a boundless, vast warehouse.

"I want to see your warehouse too. You must be very bored in there alone."

Pan Han secretly smiled to himself, thinking: "My big warehouse is a planet, not boring at all."

However, this thought was too much like a scumbag. He quickly suppressed this mentality.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiao grabbed Pan Han's collar, bit her lip, and asked fiercely, "Are you hiding a little girl in that warehouse?"

Oh my! Her face changed too quickly. Pan Han quickly shook his head: "No, no, absolutely not."

He certainly wasn't hiding just one; to be precise, he was hiding a vast number, still waiting for him to develop!

Oh dear, damn it, how did he become a scumbag?

He was even thinking about developing other women!

"If you do, then so be it, I don't care. As long as I can be by your side. You can find as many as you want. If the women over there can give you children, that's even better." Cheng Xiao saw Pan Han quickly deny it, smirked for a second, then said sullenly.

"Uh, are you serious, or are you pulling my leg?"

"Of course I'm serious. In the apocalypse, whoever is stronger can possess more resources. Women are also one of the resources." Cheng Xiao made no secret of her harsh judgment on the apocalypse.

"I don't consider you a resource. At most, you're a little woman who owes me two shots. Hmph hmph." Pan Han pinched her little chin.

"Pan Han, Qin Laoda said earlier that I should be careful about my relationship with you, otherwise I would become your weakness in the future. I think Big Brother makes a good point."

"Oh? How so?"

"If I am your only woman, and you love me too much, sooner or later, bad people will use me to threaten you. You can not believe me, but you must believe the apocalypse."

After hearing Cheng Xiao's reasoning, Pan Han had to agree.

"Therefore, you can, and should, find more women. This way, we can last longer," Cheng Xiao's tone was firm, as if she had thought about it for a long time.

"I can understand your feelings, but why say it today?" Pan Han's perception of Cheng Xiao changed once again; he hadn't expected her to understand dialectics so thoroughly!

"The future is unknowable. Only by planning in the present!"

"But! I'm not interested in anyone else!"

"Tsk, all you men say that. How many women have you even met? Besides, among the 3,000 people in our Base, no exaggeration, I'm considered the best, so of course you wouldn't look at others." Cheng Xiao puffed out her chest, nudging Pan Han.

"Alright, I give up. Then, when you're searching for gold in the future, if you see pretty girls, kidnap them for me. If they're suitable, take them as concubines; if not, they can be your maids. Make sure to find ones with big chests and long legs! That's an order." As Pan Han spoke, an unknown liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao smiled slightly, leaned over, and sucked it dry for him.

"What's so good about big chests and long legs? When you look for women in the future, you should definitely look for those who are useful to you. For example, the daughter of a major power, or a female Intermediate Evolver."

From her actions to her words, Cheng Xiao doubly negated Pan Han's fantasy.

"You've changed a lot today," Pan Han gently embraced Cheng Xiao.

"No, your change is significant. Especially today, you've made all of us look at you with new eyes."

"So what?"

"You are no longer the young man who carried chewing gum at the beginning. You are now a true Base Commander. Since you can become stronger, why can't I grow? If I can't keep up with you, I don't deserve to stay by your side." Cheng Xiao's tone was calm and she spoke slowly, like a wise elder sister.

"After hearing you, I suddenly feel a lot of pressure. I feel like if I don't work hard, I'll let you down."

"I'm not important, you are important. Keep up the good work, my Commander." Cheng Xiao extended her hands, caressing Pan Han's chiseled face, her eyes filled with tender affection.

It was over; this woman had completely fallen in love with Pan Han.
