Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

Chapter 146 Deployment of Defense


Beastman Territory.

Lin Yi looked at the checkpoint.

This exit was a narrow passage.

Space was limited, so not many could be deployed here, at most about forty.

Moreover, when trying to kill the endless wave of zombies, a large number of bullets would eventually be wasted.

The only choice was to use machine guns.

This would be highly efficient, but wouldn't last long due to reloading times.

Additionally, there was the issue of corpses.

Lin Yi looked about a hundred meters away at the piles of zombie corpses stacked together. In the Fragment World controlled by zombies, corpses were not recycled.

With this in mind, he sent a message to the Orc Lord.

"Terghai, how do you deal with those… uh, Evil Spirit corpses?"

"Of course, they are fed to Xidi, but I guess you don't know these creatures, they eat everything, grow quickly, and are very nutritious."

"I also raise some similar creatures, but I've never tried feeding them dead enemies…"

"You should try, it's very efficient!"

"So the Evil Spirits won't dissolve into the ground, providing you with organic material?"

"Organic… what? Dissolving into the ground? Your Ark is truly strange, here, Evil Spirits just fall where they are slain. After the battle, we collect their corpses and loot them for spoils."

"My people are worried that if the entire passage is blocked with Evil Spirit corpses, what should we do."

"Elder Kai will cast a powerful spell, and all the corpses will turn into an acid capable of harming Evil Spirits. But… it's an expensive spell, requiring an Energy Core and wasting a large amount of Xidi's food… a huge expense…"

"Understood, if we ultimately have to use that spell, we will split the cost fifty-fifty."

"A pleasure doing business with you!" Terghai laughed heartily, feeling he had chosen a great ally.

After the conversation, Lin Yi began setting up defenses.

This time, the Beastmen defended the left side of the passage exit, while the human camp was on the right side.

He instructed his people to build ten reinforced machine gun emplacements and transported a large number of guns and ammunition there.

The soldiers arrived in military jeeps and a small bus, bringing everything needed.

Lin Yi then used teleportation to bring lake water.

Besides the machine gun emplacements, he also set up some small sniper positions for hunting mutated creatures.

Towers were guarded by Beastman Archers and Shamans, with some beastmen also deployed behind the machine gun emplacements.

These were the best warriors from the Beastman tribe, all of them advanced Professionals.

Behind them were Beastman Archers, although most of them were not

Professionals, and few of them could actually use a bow...

However, Beastmen were strong, and they did not need much accuracy to shoot into the zombie horde, and their numbers were enormous, totaling around six hundred.

Terghai promised that after his people had a chance to recover using the lake water, he would send more warriors.

Lin Yi had large quantities of Louis'—Killing Cocktails brought over.

These Molotovs, improved by bomb and demolition experts from the Cathedral, turned into true bombs.

They were already powerful, but mixed with rocks and metal shards inside, their lethality was extremely high.

Additionally, he had them make ordinary bombs for use in close combat.

Hubert was a seasoned veteran who had served as a mercenary in countless battles.

Thus, he devised detailed combat strategies for every unexpected scenario conceivable.

The camp had many vehicles, which could be used for evacuation if explosions occurred.

There were also numerous explosives and incendiary devices that could help slow down the enemy in a retreat.

Terghai stood beside Lin Yi, watching the busy human soldiers, and sighed.

"Your warriors are truly disciplined, cooperative, and worthy of our learning!"

"We humans are physically smaller, but with intellect and creativity, we have long been the dominant species on our planet."

"I have seen many races similar to yours. Not exactly your race, but very similar. We call such races…"

Seeing Lin Yi's curious look, Terghai decided to explain: "Called 'Soft Skin Race'! By the way, most Evil Spirits are Soft Skin Race."

"No wonder I said zombies look so much like humans..."

However, Lin Yi didn't plan to get tangled in this. He sent a message: "Let's get back on track. What can you offer in trade with me?"

"I know you like complex machinery, here, look at this!" Terghai replied, with something resembling a firearm appearing in his hand.

He took it, finding the long and heavy firearm about 1.5 meters long and weighing about 40 pounds.

[Second Level Black Powder Rifle]

Single-shot black powder rifle.

Effective range: 150 meters, with strong stopping power. Slow to reload, with high recoil.

Note: Rainwater and high humidity will reduce the weapon's effectiveness and stopping power.

It's heavy, so it can be used as a club. Don't let women and children handle it!

Gunpowder is stored in a special drum-shaped container, sufficient for five shots.

[Reloading the container consumes 1 Magic Value]

Lin Yi quite liked this item; it seemed decent. The range was indeed quite impressive, but not every warrior could handle it with ease.

"Not bad. Do you have anything else?"

"Hahaha! I knew you'd like it. Let me show you everything we have."

Terghai sent messages to him and began taking items from the warehouse one by one.

[First Level Flintlock Pistol]

Single-shot black powder pistol.

Boasts powerful stopping power with an effective range of 25 meters, though it is slow to reload and has a small chance of jamming.

Gunpowder is stored in a special drum-shaped container, sufficient for three shots.

[Reloading the container consumes 1 Magic Value]

...

[Third Level Double-Shot Black Powder Rifle]

A unique black powder rifle allowing the user to fire twice in 1.5 seconds.

Effective range: 250 meters, with high accuracy.

This rifle comes with a bayonet and a powder container that can hold ten bullets.

[Reloading the container consumes 1 Magic Value.]

This is a light rifle; it's not recommended to use it as a club.

The bayonet can be detached or replaced, but where to find a replacement? That's your problem to solve?

After examining the black powder firearms, Lin Yi started looking at the bows, and these bows... were quite unusual!

They were larger than Earth's bows, appearing like finely decorated long sticks with bowstrings attached.

A bit like... homemade fishing rods?

[First Level Young Hunter Bow]

This is the first bow received by a Forest Hunter on their tenth birthday, easy to use, requiring only 12 Power.

[Second Level Hunter Bow]

A bow given to hunters upon reaching adulthood, more challenging to use but with strong stopping power and high accuracy, requiring around 15 Power.

[Third Level Master Hunter Bow]

Only the most experienced warriors can use this bow. Despite being difficult to use and having low accuracy, it has great stopping power, requiring around 18 Power.

[Fourth Level Legendary Hunter Bow]...
