Chapter 137: Chapter 43 Cruise Missiles_2

"No matter what, let’s first head to the warehouse and take a look."

"Once we’re there, you can decide whether to continue or not..."

After cutting off the radio, Chen Jian let out a long sigh of relief.

Now he was finally sure that the other party was definitely aware of the situation at the Anqing Ruins.

They even had their equipment prepared in advance.

But it doesn’t matter.

You think you’re using us, but in reality, usage is always mutual.

"Let’s go, gather the equipment, and prepare to head to the warehouse."

"Since they’re here, let’s have them do something."

"We were planning to spread the news about Anqing and Huadu anyway, but now it seems it’d be best if the news doesn’t come from us."

"Let the Ring Chamber of Commerce handle it... They’re experts at this sort of thing!"

....

An hour later, the team arrived at the warehouse that Wang Lizhi had mentioned.

A representative from the Ring Chamber of Commerce was already waiting at the entrance, but his style was completely different from other members of the Ring Chamber of Commerce that Chen Jian had seen before.

Quiet and sullen, he barely said a word from start to finish.

After a simple identity check, he opened the warehouse door and let them in.

"Pick freely."

The man said:

"The materials inside are up to Level 2 control, entirely at your disposal."

"All of it?"

Chen Jian asked in astonishment:

"Such a large warehouse, all given to us?"

"It’s a loan."

When the words fell, Ji Xing subconsciously glanced in the direction of Chen Jian.

Goodness, the example you gave not long ago is being realized here?

Is there really someone who gives you weapons and you don’t even want to use them??

Chen Jian looked at the warehouse keeper somewhat skeptically, but after taking a rough look inside, his doubts slightly lessened.

The warehouse was indeed large, but after all, not that exaggerated.

The massive storage space was filled with low-value items, including but not limited to food, materials, and various common goods for trade.

The weapons or equipment that truly met the team’s current needs were only a small portion, and in terms of volume, they didn’t seem that large.

However, the variety was quite diverse.

Besides common grenades and rocket launchers, Chen Jian first noticed a batch of extended-range mortar shells compatible with the PBP201.

The quantity wasn’t too large, but there were a total of 26 rounds.

"Pack up all these shells."

Chen Jian said:

"Just in time, we’re out of mortar shells. Leave 12 rounds, and send the remaining 14 back to Yellow Stone City to supplement long-range strike firepower."

"No problem."

He Shuo nodded first, then asked:

"Is it necessary to keep 12 rounds? Why not send them all back to Yellow Stone City?"

"Such small-scale killing weapons are of very limited use for the battles that might occur next, from both strategic and tactical perspectives, they don’t have much value."

"We might as well take them as a bargain, collecting a bit of insurance premium in advance?"

"...That’s not entirely accurate."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:

"Although difficult, the problem at the Anqing Ruins isn’t completely unsolvable."

"10 people surrounding 4000 isn’t possible, but what if we target and behead the key objectives inside the ruins, completely disrupting and fragmenting the horror demons?"

"Without organization, their combat power is likely not much stronger than those converts we’ve encountered before."

"So, remote support weapons are still necessary."

"Think flexibly, don’t always think about annihilating them in one go. Do you think the opponent is Brother San, who would even know when to surrender?"

"...True."

He Shuo paused and suddenly added:

"Beheading is too gentle for them. If we can, kill them all."

"...You’re a bit excessive."

Chen Jian sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze to another box next to the mortar shells.

Opening the lid, there was a 201 machine gun inside.

Its condition seemed quite new, with few signs of oxidation.

But this thing... it’s hard to say how useful it is.

Chen Jian instinctively reached out to take the weapon, only to find the weight was off.

His brow furrowed, and he shone his tactical flashlight on it, then exclaimed in surprise:

"Damn, a weapon station!"

With that, He Shuo immediately looked over.

The two lifted the items out of the box and placed them on the ground, only to discover that at the back of this 201 machine gun was a massive spherical device!

Without a doubt, this was a weapon station.

A weapon station utilizing the 201 machine gun as the fire output.

However, the problem is... the shape of this thing doesn’t seem like it can be mounted on a vehicle.

After observing for a moment, Chen Jian concluded.

"This is not an ordinary weapon station... This is a fixed intelligent weapon sentry."

"It’s defensive equipment! Unknown how it was dismantled!"

"Automated?"

He Shuo asked in surprise.

"Most likely, it should be an automated defense weapon equipped with an AI module."

"This is good stuff... Open all the boxes to see how many there are in total!"

"Understood!"

Everyone got to work immediately, turning over all covered boxes, finding a total of 4 weapon sentries.

One was obviously damaged, its internal structure a mess, with the chip half exposed and shattered.

However, if three could be repaired.

"This should also be prioritized and handed to Lei Jie."

"If it can be repaired, we can gain three additional firing points out of thin air, further extending tactical depth!"

"Understood!"

Zeng Yi marked up the boxes, while Chen Jian and He Shuo moved the stacked boxes off, exposing the largest box underneath.

He didn’t know what was in these large boxes, but instinct told him the contents were definitely not simple.

And indeed, they weren’t.

When He Shuo pried off the wooden lid and saw the contents, both were dumbfounded.

"Whoa, aerial bombs..."

He Shuo muttered.

"They’re aerial bombs... old ones, Cluster-4, 250-kilogram bombs."

"This thing was specifically designed to block off airfields, with a blast area of over 500 meters."

"Tremendous destructive power... but unfortunately, we have no means to bring it to a sufficient height for detonation."

Chen Jian said with some regret.

"There are other models here."

He Shuo pointed to the box beside it, then added:

"250-3 high drag explosive bombs, 50-2 high drag bombs... 50-2 is an antique among antiques, can it still work?"

"Who knows."

Chen Jian remarked with admiration:

"Rusty aerial bombs from World War II still explode; this thing looks in good condition with minimal surface rust, probably dug up from some underground structure."

"Hard to say about the power, but it will definitely explode."

"This 250-3 is in even better condition, surely usable."

"This single blast radius should reach around 150 meters, more than enough to destroy a horror demon camp."

"But again, the problem is we lack effective delivery methods."

"The Anqing Ruins don’t have the natural advantages like outside Yellow Stone City, without using river drift delivery, it’s just a gigantic landmine in our hands."

"What a pity... even if we had a helicopter, it’d be fine."

Chen Jian sighed with regret, but He Shuo shook his head and said:

"Without Butcher Zhang, should we eat scabby pigs?"

"There’s always a way to resolve delivery issues; these large-caliber explosives are hard to find."

"No wonder the Ring Chamber said it’s Level 2 control equipment—maybe they’ve bombed a few themselves."

"Indeed... In any case, tag them all; we want all six aerial bombs here."

"If worse comes to worst, even using them as landmines while besieging to aid would be enough to sink them."

"Are there any other useful equipment?"

"None."

He Shuo shook his head, answering:

"Not much ammunition either, about one or two thousand rounds, but we can just replenish that."

"Got it. Let’s withdraw."

Chen Jian decisively waved his hand, then said:

"With equipment updated, tactics must be updated too."

"For the upcoming battle... Let’s try to center it around these few aerial bombs!"
