Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse With My Military System

Chapter 133 Acquisition

September 17th, 2023.

Richard was at Sara's unit, and they were sleeping together on the bed. When he woke up, he found himself not being able to move as Sara's arm was over his chest. He lay there for a moment, observing the quietness of the room, the soft light filtering through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on Sara's peaceful face.

Three days before the wave, and he must prepare for it, and there's no better day than to start three days prior to it. He grabbed Sara's arm gently and slowly lifted it up, placing it beside her carefully to avoid waking her up. Quietly, he slid out of the bed—

Suddenly, an arm snaked out, grabbing his wrist tightly. Startled, Richard turned to see Sara's eyes open, alert.

"Good morning," Sara said, a smirk playing across her lips.

"Good morning," Richard chuckled sheepishly. "You startled me a little, why would you do that so suddenly?"

Sara's smirk turned into a soft smile. "Just making sure you're not sneaking out without saying goodbye," she teased. "Want me to make breakfast? It's not like you need to be at the command center soon right?"

Richard glanced at the clock on the wall, considering her offer. "Actually, that sounds great. I'm not really in a rush," he admitted.

Sara nodded and quickly got to work in the kitchen, efficiently preparing a simple yet hearty breakfast. Richard, meanwhile, took a seat at the small table, his thoughts momentarily drifting to the system.

[User: Richard Gonzales

Skills: Weapon Proficiency Level 2, Melee Proficiency Level 2, Driving Proficiency Level 2. Tactical Mastery Level 1.

Available Skill Points: 0

Summoned Troops: 1200/1300

Current gold balance: 70,270,000 gold coins]

Looking at his stats, he knew that he would have to fill up his summoned troops to the maximum. He would need all the hands he could get for the upcoming wave. 70,270,00 gold coins were also a lot of money, but it would be more worth it if he were to use a discount capsule.

But what military hardware should he buy? Richard had been seeing the effectiveness of having air assets. As long as they can fly at a safe altitude and not get close to the mutated zombies, they can kill them without suffering casualties.

Apache and Vipers attack helicopters. He would need a lot of them, probably in two digits. However, Richard paused, reconsidering. It didn't have to be two different variants. Choosing a single type as the main attack helicopter might be more practical. Apache and Viper had different armaments, different technologies, and different parts. Not standardizing their military hardware could indeed become a logistical headache.

After a moment of contemplation, Richard decided to go with the Apache helicopters. While the Viper's agility was tempting, the Apache's proven durability and heavy firepower were more suited to the kind of sustained combat they were likely to encounter against the wave of mutated zombies. The Apache's advanced targeting systems and robust arsenal, including Hellfire missiles and a 30mm automatic cannon, would provide the necessary firepower to hold back large groups of enemies.

"Here's your breakfast," Sara said as she placed a plate down on the table.

Richard closed the system with a wave of his hand, shifting his focus back to reality. He looked at the plate and saw that Sara had cooked Vienna sausage and bacon, a simple yet hearty meal. She also placed a cup of coffee next to his plate. Richard thanked her, savoring the warm, comforting meal. They ate quickly, knowing that their day would be filled with rigorous preparations and last-minute adjustments.

After breakfast, Richard and Sara made their way back to the command center. Richard sat on his desk while Sara was at her station. Mark approached Richard and handed him a folded paper.

"Sir, this is for military acquisition from the Army and the Air Force."

Richard opened the folded paper and quickly scanned its contents. It detailed the latest updates on military acquisitions that the Army and the Air Force needed.

"I just remembered, we have lost a lot of Apache helicopters, from the Hydra and this Juggernaut mutated zombie," Richard said, looking up at Mark with a concerned expression.

Mark nodded.?"Yes, sir. That's why these new acquisitions are crucial. We need to replenish our air capabilities as soon as possible."

Richard agreed. "I'm going to acquire it now. Would you like to come with me and go to the acquisition center?"

Mark nodded in agreement. "Sure, sir."

"But before that," Richard raised a finger and opened his system. Since he is going to buy a lot of military hardware today, he had to open his discount capsule. Since it's like the lottery, Richard hoped to get a higher discount. The last time he got a discount capsule, he received forty percent off all products available to his system shop. He wondered how much discount he would receive this time. Richard activated the discount capsule, watching as the system processed his request.

After a brief moment, the system displayed the results of the discount capsule. Richard exhaled in relief and satisfaction as he saw a fifty percent discount displayed on the screen. This was even better than his previous capsule, and it would allow him to stretch their funds further, possibly even allowing for additional acquisitions beyond the Apache helicopters.

"Looks like we're in luck," Richard said to Mark, showing him the screen. "We got a fifty percent discount.

Mark's eyes widened in surprise. "How many gold coins do you have, if you don't mind me asking sir."

"I have about 70,270,000 gold coins," Richard replied, looking back at the screen. "With this discount, it will feel like I have double that amount to spend. So, let's go?"

Mark quickly nodded, clearly motivated by the potential impact of their purchasing power. "Yes, sir, let's go."

The acquisition center of the Blackwatch Oriental Military Camp is located outside, about two kilometers away. It was the Manila Zoo. Its huge space gave them enough room for the summoning of the military hardware.

Richard pulled out a paper containing the list of the equipment.
