My Apocalypse Territory

Chapter 18 - 18 Population Constraints

City Lord Hall.

Tang Yu reclined on the soft sofa, stretching lazily, as if he were about to sink into it.

"What a decadent life..."

The urgent gap in Source Crystal supply had been solved, and Tang Yu felt much more at ease.

Making money by hunting beasts was becoming less effective, as every hunt for Demonized Beasts required a lot of time for

...

"Director, the tally of confiscated firearms and ammunition is complete. In total, there are twenty-three various pistols, fifteen types of automatic rifles, one portable rocket launcher with five remaining rockets, and several grenades, along with over a thousand rounds of ammunition."

Speaking of these weapons, Chen Haiping smiled, "With so many firearms, it will be much easier to rebuild the defenses of the Sanctuary."

"That's true, and there's more. I also have two light machine guns, several automatic rifles, and found something interesting..."

"Something interesting?" Chen Haiping asked in confusion, then saw Tang Yu retrieve a long object from under the table, "This is... a sniper rifle! M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle! Finding this is incredible. With this weapon, we might even be able to snipe some dangerous Demonized Beasts from a distance!"

This type of firearm was deadly to humans and could cause significant damage to Demonized Beasts. Used effectively, it could increase combat options significantly.

"Indeed." Tang Yu nodded, "So this sniper rifle will be yours from now on."

"Mine? This is too valuable." Chen Haiping couldn't believe it.

Tang Yu pushed the sniper rifle towards him.

"Your marksmanship is impressive. This sniper rifle can only realize its true value in your hands. If you feel unworthy, consider it a loan from me. Use this sniper rifle well to kill Demonized Beasts, so it doesn't go to waste..."

This sniper rifle, if left with him, would merely be a display piece. Luo Zhe and Eileen, not to mention wouldn't use it, wouldn't need such a weapon.

Weapons, if not used to their potential, were just decorations.

Coincidentally, among these people, Chen Haiping was adept with guns. Tang Yu had witnessed Chen Haiping use a pistol to kill a Demonized Beast.

"Alright." Chen Haiping took a deep breath, "I won't let you down, Director, and certainly won't waste this sniper rifle."

He solemnly put away the sniper rifle, then suddenly recalled something, "Director, those people before were sent by a big shot in Lindong. Now that they've suffered losses here, that big shot likely won't let it rest easily."

He was worried, seeking Tang Yu's strategy.

"Strategy? Don't worry, that big shot isn't a military leader and doesn't have an army. No matter how strong, as long as a modern army doesn't come charging, there's no issue. Besides, since those people were lost here, the Lindong figure would need time to understand the situation, a round trip, and that might take plenty of time. In short, don't worry."

Chen Haiping was somewhat anxious, yet glanced at Tang Yu, then at Luo Zhe, and found neither showed any sign of concern. On the contrary, Luo Zhe looked ready for battle.

He initially wanted to suggest relocating the Sanctuary, but now couldn't voice it.

The big shot in Lindong, with strong forces, was far beyond what their group could currently compare to. However, Director Tang did not appear to act without confidence.

From the very beginning, he thought the idea of establishing a Sanctuary was too bold, yet step by step, until now, he believed Tang Yu had the capability.

Perhaps...

Director Tang still had a hidden trump card to deal with that big shot in Lindong?

Chen Haiping couldn't figure it out, but he was willing to believe.

He never thought of leaving.

Leaving here might remove the worry of the Lindong big shot, but Chen Haiping didn't want to continue lingering in such a world.

Some things needed someone to do.

Helping Director Tang establish the Sanctuary, whether for fame, profit, or his belief, he wanted to try.

Failure wasn't scary, losing humanity's awareness and living like a walking corpse was frightening.

Unable to convince Director Tang to relocate, Chen Haiping could only do his best in his duties.

Training survivors' shooting skills to improve the Sanctuary's defense strength.

The rest was up to Director Tang's hidden cards and destiny.

"... However, Director, we still have too few people, these firearms can't even be fully utilized."
