In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Soon, Old Zhang, with the equipment he had traded for, began to report back to Captain Wu.

Captain Wu frowned as he looked at the weapons they had received. "Old Zhang, we spent a whole 300 pounds of dog food for these antiques, and we only got this little bit of weaponry? Is that a bit too little?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang immediately handed him a Tang sword without a word. "Captain, test the lethality of this sword before you say anything!"

Captain Wu took the sword, and immediately felt something was off as soon as he held it – it was heavy.

The entire sword weighed a good four or five pounds, which was unlike the weight of the swords sold online!

He then drew the sword with a whoosh, and under the light of the kerosene lamp in the room, the alloy-forged sword gleamed with a cold light.

The entire sword was about 1 meter long, with a handle length of 22 centimeters and a handguard. Captain Wu looked at the thickness of the back of the blade, which was close to 1 centimeter.

When holding the sword in one hand, the center of gravity was just right. He made a few chopping motions and found it very comfortable to use. The tip of the blade was shaped like a sword point, which was the most common style for Tang swords.

Captain Wu then took a closer look at the blade and the metal patterns on the sword, and knew at a glance that it had been carefully crafted.

After sheathing the sword, Captain Wu nodded, praising it incessantly, "Good sword, truly a good sword.

It's so easy to kill people with a sword like this. It's so comfortable to chop with. And the material of this blade doesn't seem to be made of ordinary steel. It should have some rust resistance. Good sword!"

Next, he picked up the crossbow, tested its draw speed, and tested the penetration power of an arrow. He nodded, "Good stuff. I take back what I said. These weapons are definitely worth the price."

Old Zhang asked, "Captain, to be honest, these weapons are indeed not cheap, but they are really good stuff. With good weapons, we can find more supplies."

"In this world, weapons and violence are the only way out. We must find ways to get more sophisticated weapons and equipment! Especially this kind of crossbow, this kind of sword, and anti-cut and stab-resistant clothing."

"I feel that this crossbow is still terrifyingly lethal at 100 meters. Even our solid wood doors would be shot through. With this kind of crossbow, it's not much less lethal than a pistol!"

After listening to Old Zhang's words, Captain Wu nodded, "Next time, continue the transaction as normal. Maintain a good relationship with them. I feel that they may be useful in the future.

Or we can ask them for help when we encounter danger in the future. Having more friends means more options!"

Old Zhang nodded in agreement.

Soon, these equipment began to be distributed to the security team formed by the owners to protect everyone's safety.

The excellent quality of these equipment won unanimous praise from everyone. Although it was quite expensive, all the owners felt it was worth the money.

Some of them had also done tests, using the Tang sword to chop at the steel pipes in their hands. As a result, the steel pipes in their hands were easily cut in half by the Tang sword like mud!

Even more terrifying was that the Tang sword did not chip after cutting the steel pipe. It was obvious that the sword was indeed made of a special alloy and was a very sophisticated cold weapon.

.......

Li Ming, on the other hand, continued to collect supplies while continuing to expand his army.

Li Ming's actions to recruit soldiers had never stopped. He was not short of guns and ammunition now, so his army was expanding rapidly.

At this time, the total number of his troops in the Malga region had reached more than 13,000. To this end, he built four or five barracks in two bases to increase the number of troops.

In addition to training, Li Ming used heavy transport helicopters to send them to various parts of the country to collect supplies. Whether it was a large city or a small city, all usable supplies were collected.

His power was gradually growing across the country, with prefecture-level cities as units.

The strength of the troops accumulated little by little. While Li Ming was recruiting soldiers, he also did not relax on the research and improvement of military weapons and equipment.

Time quickly came to December 1, 2025 of the Solar Calendar. Li Ming had successfully survived in the apocalypse for 24 days.

"Ding, the host has successfully checked in. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a set of formula data for a new military-grade alloy material, x alloy steel!"

This system is reliable, Li Ming was very happy with the system's reward.

Recently, the system's rewards were basically survival points or some survival materials. Each reward was not much, and the things rewarded by the system could not be amplified.

But these things were really good things. Products of the system must be high-quality products!

Even if they were both canned meat, the 100 boxes of canned meat rewarded by the system this time had a meat content of more than 80%, and the taste was far better than the canned meat on the market in all aspects.

The canned meat rewarded by the system weighed 3 pounds each. This kind of thing was definitely a real good thing.

The system also rewarded individual self-heating rations. What was rewarded was squad rations. One check-in rewarded 20 servings of squad rations. This serving of rations was enough for a squad of infantry soldiers for one meal.

The things were really good, but the quantity was too small.

Now this x alloy steel aroused Li Ming's interest. Li Ming began to carefully study what this x alloy steel was.

At first glance, the performance of this x alloy was surprising, because this x alloy was simply the best metal material for manufacturing guns.

First of all, the cost of this x alloy was definitely a little more expensive than the traditional chromium-molybdenum alloy barrel, about 10% more expensive, but the cost of this alloy was expensive for a reason.

Under the same volume, the weight of x alloy was a full one-third lighter than chromium-molybdenum alloy steel.

More importantly, this x alloy was very wear-resistant. The barrel life of a gun made of ordinary chromium-molybdenum alloy steel was generally about 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the rifling would be more severely worn, which would affect the accuracy of the shooting.

But this x alloy has a barrel life that is 3 times that of ordinary chromium-molybdenum alloy steel!

Light weight, greater strength, and more wear-resistant, this thing is simply a perfect product to replace chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, and the weight of light weapons made with this thing will be greatly reduced.

In this case, under the same load, soldiers will carry more ammunition and other supplies, which are all ways to optimize and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

What's even better is that if this thing is used to manufacture 12.7mm heavy machine guns, not only will the reliability be greatly improved, but also the weight of the 12.7mm heavy machine gun can be easily carried by manpower for marching.

In the apocalypse, roads are destroyed, and not all areas are suitable for mechanized troops to advance. Many places still require people's two legs to reach.

The tactical significance of a 12.7mm heavy machine gun that can march with infantry's two legs is too great.......
