Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse

Chapter 398: New Operation Base (1)

The secretive individual had quite a similar appearance to Zhang Tianci but was different at the same time. From the first impression, this younger sibling of Zhang Tianci seems a lot more hot-headed than the older brother.

It was understandable to have a somewhat twin siblings appearance since both were produced using Zhang Qin Feng's genetic as the base. But to make them different from one another, a little effort was made to their hair, eyebrows, and eye color.

While Zhang Tianci had chestnut-colored eyes and hair, this younger sibling had a hint of crimson red on his features.

Evidently, this kind of miracle and advanced function is what made Shelter No: 213 labeled as "Programmable Shelter."

"So… Did both creators send you here?" Zhang Tianci seems to have a mixed feeling while looking at his younger siblings, and the emotion he had was roughly the same as Zhang Qin Feng when he saw Zhang Tianci for the first time.

It was a mix of curiosity, happiness, and convergence of indescribable emotions gathered together.

As for the two creators Zhang Tianci mentioned, it was naturally Valerian and Carol. It would be impossible for Zhang Qin Feng to instruct the Vermilion Empress and Shelter No: 213 while they're stuck here.

"Yes. Both were worried about our creator, so I was ordered to come here and provide some help." said the younger sibling of Zhang Tianci.

"I see… Well… What name did they give you?" Zhang Tianci asked. He was curious, and it was also awkward to call his first younger sibling without knowing the name he was given.

"They called me Zhang Tianhuo." he introduced himself again using the name Valerian and Carol gave him.

"Tianhuo… Heavenly Flames. What a befitting name they gave to you." Zhang Tianci smiled as he extended his hand out to give this younger sibling a handshake.

"Likewise, big brother. Heavenly Gift had its own meaning too. I'm sure he had great expectation from you to give you such a name as our eldest." Zhang Tianhuo said.

"Alright, you two. Let's continue with the talk later. Tianci, where did the boss want us to go? I'm sure he has already given you the instruction, correct?" Alex said.

"Yes." Zhang Tianci nodded.

"There's a small settlement right ahead from here in less than five kilometers. The creator's order was to construct an operational base there. For starters, we'll be using that place as our service base," said Zhang Tianci.

"Also, the Big Boss tells me to remind everyone here. Do not consume anything except what is delivered from the second fleet. There's a parasitic-type carrier here, and we're still unable to determine the cause."

"Until further order, everyone shall maintain alert and conduct daily checkups in making sure they do not spread throughout this landing crews. These parasites are capable of controlling our speech and action, and I'll get in detail once we're ready to get over to the settlement." Zhang Tianci continued.

"Alright. Let's continue this discussion when we get on our way." Alex nodded at the siblings before he looked for the chief engineer.

"What is our current status? Is everything in order?" he asked.

"Sir, we're ready to go. all the supplies and equipment had been fitted into the second car and third car." the chief engineer answered. It seems that Alex was the one leading this operation, not Zhang Tianhuo.

This was obvious, as half of the two hundred people present were veterans from the Turbine Town's Group. Based on the respect and experience alone, Alex is undoubtedly a more fitting leader than Zhang Tianhuo.

And this kind of qualification would only get much better in the future. As for Zhang Tianci and Zhang Tianhuo, their only way to reach Alex's authority is to perform excellently in their own leadership and establish their own unit.

This is precisely why Zhang Qin Feng designed them to be "educated" with all kinds of knowledge. Out of the ten clones, Zhang Tianci was given priority in "Combatant" related knowledge. As for Zhang Tianhuo, he was blessed with "Warfare."

"Good job! Get on board, everyone! And let us move out!" Alex said. His words made everyone aboard the so-called next-generation Mobile Command Center as they drove towards the settlement.

With a view of over five meters above ground level, this was a fantastic sight for any driver. The speed of this MCC is relatively slow, about fifteen to twenty kilometers in an hour. But with such a colossal carrying capacity and functionality, who would care about it?

It would be acceptable even if it was 50% slower than their current speed.

The demolishing function was activated immediately as the next-gen MCC arrived at the settlement's entrance. Using this function alone, the vehicle immediately knocked down the walls and low-rise apartments erected on the outer perimeter of the settlement.

Soon, the destruction continued as the high-rises buildings built further inside crumbled like cookie stacks. The building materials demolished were taken into the third carriage through heavy-duty conveyor belts and reprocessed into new material for reconstruction later.

In fact, this kind of approach was often used during the pre-apocalypse. But this was the first time it was used on post-apocalypse.

Taking the megastructure project as an example, the highway connecting Turbine Town to the actual New Wind Base was one of the constructs done using such a colossal machine.

If everything goes accordingly, this simple settlement can be demolished within 24 hours before changing the setting into reconstruction. After that, it will be up to the Builder's Frame operator to do their job.

They believe that an operation base of this size can be complete in less than 60 hours from scratch, and that's less than a week required.

But such speed comes with another worry.

This three-carriage MCC's power consumption is comparable to the entire second fleet's energy in a single day. If they solely relied on the power generator that runs on Duranium Shards, even Zhang Qin Feng would go bankrupt in less than a month.

Luckily, the Prismatic Crystals they manufactured in-house finally found their worth in this area.
