People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 372: Building the Camp (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhao Yu’s movements tend to be towards the north, coinciding with Fallout Shelter No. 12988.

“Since it’s an army that only a major force could train, I guess Wild Wolf Town is doomed.”

“It’s probably not someone from a major force…”

Boss Gao laughed, “It’s not only the major forces that can train armies…” “In Black Rock City, the four great families and the eight great merchant associations all specifically train soldiers. These soldiers do nothing but train every day…”

Meng Xian had not heard of the four great families, but she was aware of the eight great merchant associations, which were said to be large-scale merchant groups that traded between various cities.

Some were local merchant associations, while others were branches from other places.

The wilderness is extremely dangerous. Without highways or railway tracks for transporting goods, running trade between cities requires a strong military team.

“Do you mean that the unknown troop could be from the eight great merchant associations or the four great families?”

‘There’s a good chance…’

“If people from a large group were ambushed, they would definitely destroy Wild Wolf Town immediately, instead of just raiding the outbound convoys…” Boss Gao laughed.

“The reason they do this is obviously because their strength is not strong enough, or they dare not reveal their identities…”

Meng Xian was was quite interested in it and asked curiously, “Do the people of the eight merchant associations also not dare to touch the Wild Wolf Town?” “It’s not that they don’t dare!”

“No matter how powerful Wild Wolf Town is, it’s just a wilderness force and cannot compare with the people of Black Rock City…”

“However, Wild Wolf Town manufactures arms and weapons for Black Rock City, so it has a background…”

“Thus, the unknown troop does not dare to openly retaliate against Wild Wolf Town, probably for this reason…”

Thinking of Zhao Yu’s claimed affiliation with the Re Zhao Corporation, “Is it possible that it’s people from a large group who just temporarily can’t send troops to eliminate Wild Wolf Town?”

“Impossible!”

“‘Even if the large group can’t spare the manpower for a while, as long as they speak to the Black Rock City officials, there will be plenty of people to wipe out Wild Wolf Town…”

Thinking it over, Meng Xian realized that this made sense. The things controlled by the large groups were extremely precious, and even a tiny leak would be enough for Black Rock City to thrive.”

“Zhao Yu’s background might not be the Re Zhao, but one of the eight merchant associations of Black Rock City?!”

Meng Xian felt a secret joy in her heart, not expecting to gain such an unexpected reward from this trip.

“By the way, Wild Wolf Town has issued a reward. If anyone knows the details of that group, they can inform them, with a reward of 100,000 Black Rock coins…”

“Ah, both sides are big forces, I’m not qualified to get involved…” Meng Xian said self-deprecatingly, then bid farewell to Boss Gao and returned to her room to rest. She continued to investigate the purpose of Zhao Yu and his group’s venture.

“Assuming Zhao Yu is from one of the eight great merchant associations, why would they establish a camp in the wilderness?!”

“The reason to hide their identities?!”

Meng Xian felt there must be some secret behind this, but she couldn’t guess it at the moment.

However, she thought she could take this opportunity to gain some benefits.

As Boss Gao said, since Zhao Yu dares not reveal his identity, even if he is backed by one of the eight great merchant associations, he would have to pay a confidentiality fee.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

Meng Xian couldn’t help but laugh out loud, feeling that this trip had been very profitable.

After getting up, Zhao Yu started training soldiers according to the plan. Two and a half hours later, 30 soldiers walked out of the training camp. Thus, he now had a total of 60 soldiers, all incorporated into the guard team and divided into three guard platoons, each with 20 people, according to the commander’s organization.

The commander’s organization is five people per squad, twenty per platoon, and a hundred per company.

Zhao Yu didn’t have enough technological points to equip the three guard platoons with commanders.

However, with their strength, there was no need for commanders; they just needed to deter ordinary people.

With manpower at hand, Zhao Yu immediately assigned a guard platoon to take care of the security of the camp construction outside the east gate.

He also summoned ten engineers and brought out his plans for the military, residential, and industrial areas.

These were relatively simple and within the capabilities of the engineers. Thus, Zhao Yu assigned three engineers to the residents area to lead the recently gathered fifty residents to build the camp outside the east gate.

Then, he took the remaining seven engineers and the two guard platoons to his planned military base area.

He didn’t plan to use outsiders to build this military base; it was his secret base, and apart from his soldiers, no one else was allowed to get involved.

Zhao Yu had the assault squad take charge of the area’s security and let about 40 soldiers to start the bustling task of logging.

The planned military base was currently just a primitive forest, requiring the trees to be cleared and cement base, a substantial amount of work.

Fortunately, with the engineers overseeing it, Zhao Yu didn’t need to put in too much effort.

After staying for a while, he took the remaining reconnaissance squad back to the base.

The security of the base was temporarily in the hands of the sniper squad and the remaining two Land infantry.

Although they were few in number, no one dared to trouble his base for now. After returning to the base, Zhao Yu took the reconnaissance squad to inspect the work outside the east gate.

As soon as he arrived, Eagle came to greed him.

“Centurion Zhao, I wonder why and what you are doing here…”

“We rescued some survivors and we are planning to establish a camp here for them to live in…” Zhao Yu said casually.

Eagle scratched his head, seemingly unable to find a good reason to refuse.

After all, the initial agreement did not specify that Zhao Yu couldn’t build another camp outside the east gate.

Moreover, their location was to the north of the east gate, and the newly constructed camp was to the south of the east gate, so both sides would not interfere with each other.

Upon inspecting the site, Zhao Yu found that his people were working efficiently. Not only was no one slacking off, but they were also working with great enthusiasm.

He approached someone with relatively high prestige to ask about the situation.

“Sir, it’s really great that you took us in. We’re willing to work under you as long as we can have meals like the one yesterday every day…”

After a brief conversation, Zhao Yu realized that these people had no intention of running away; instead, they wanted to stay.

Just a meal could win over people’s hearts now?!

Zhao Yu felt it was almost magical, and asked in return, “Don’t you have family or friends back in Wild Wolf Town?!”

“Family?!”

“In these times, what family or friends are there…”

“What about a wife or children?”

“None! Too bad.”

“Well, work hard then. As long as I’m alive, you’ll not lack food to eat…” Zhao Yu shook his head and said.

“Thank you, sir. We will definitely work our hardest for you…” The thin man quickly expressed his commitment.

Zhao Yu nodded and sent the man back to work.

He didn’t mention anything about paying wages.

In these times, wages was impractical, and he didn’t want to deal with such complications.

He had some plans for these people.

There was a piece of indoor cultivated farmland at the fallout shelter, and it would be troublesome to have the soldiers handle it, so Zhao Yu planned to send these people there to help him farm.

Of course, this would have to wait until the Wild Wolf Town issue was resolved; otherwise, the enemy could attack them from time to time to interrupt their farming.

Zhao Yu spent most of the day running between the military and residents areas, inspecting the work and communicating with several commanders, discussing military strategies and experiences.

In addition, Zhao Yu also took stock of his recent gains.

Besides acquiring several dozen vehicles, the most valuable items for him were gasoline and ammunition. After recycling the acquired ammunition, he had enough to support the creation of a functional, cannon-firing tank.

At six o’clock in the afternoon, the new daily tasks were refreshed.

Upon seeing the task content, Zhao Yu felt worried.

“We’ve been discovered….”
