Chapter 250 Don't Say You're a Soldier I Trained

Back in the small garden, Meng Shiwan parked the RV in the central circular parking lot.

Having a rare moment of free time, Meng Shiwan and Taxue stayed in the grape cottage, enjoying a quiet time.

Meng Shiwan was nestled on the tatami mat, watching a variety show on her tablet, surrounded by a pile of snacks, including potato chips, cookies, spicy strips, and small drinks.

Ta Xue was lying on the side, licking its fur. It also had its own snack cabinet, which was full of pet treats that Meng Shiwan had just replenished.

But Ta Xue refused to eat her own snacks and insisted on eating Meng Shi Wan's. She secretly used her paws to snatch a bag of cookies, which she is currently munching on.

The creaking sound, though carefully made, was quite loud in the room.

Meng Shiwan didn't want to expose its little scheme, so she let it gnaw away.

After staying indoors for a while, Meng Shiwan set up a barbecue grill on the lawn outside and had a small barbecue and a beer with Taxue.

Two pandas came over after smelling the meat, also wanting to eat it.

These three big guys don't eat meat one skewer at a time; they grill it piece by piece, and even that can't keep up with their appetites.

Originally intending to enjoy life, Meng Shiwan transformed into a barbecue chef, busy feeding the three large, eagerly waiting meat pieces next to her.

After finishing the barbecue, Meng Shiwan went to tend to her little garden, picking berries and fruits, and planting sunflowers and other flowers.

He was living a pretty comfortable life, but unfortunately, his carefree days didn't last long before Wu Ming came knocking on his door.

When Wu Ming drove up to the road in front of the castle, everyone who was busy working was completely stunned.

Lei Zhe, who was welding on the top of the wall, suddenly stood up. "Damn it, I've been so busy with construction these days that I forgot about defense."

After they arrived here, they started farming and building houses; everyone was quite busy.

With the acid rain falling so heavily outside, I figured no one would be wandering around, and there are hardly any people around anyway.

It wasn't until today, when Wu Ming drove straight in and appeared right in front of them, that they suddenly realized everyone in the base was busy with work and had completely forgotten about defense.

Lei Zhe patted his head and climbed down from the roof. "Oh no, how could I have forgotten about the defense? I'll go work on it right now."

Wu Ming, who had just gotten out of the car, remained silent when he heard Lei Zhe's mutterings.

“Lei Zhe, you must never say that you trained these soldiers when you go out in the future. I can’t afford to lose face like that.”

Lei Zhe jumped to the ground. "There's nothing we can do. Life at our base has been too good. A moment of carelessness isn't a big problem. We can still make it now."

Wu Ming: ...

Why does that sound so off?

The more I listened, the more I felt it was just showing off.

Lei Zhe pulled out his phone and, somewhat hesitantly, reported to Meng Shiwan, "Sis, Wu Ming is here. Also, what's our base's defense plan? Should we train some troops, or go straight to the air defense system?"

They brought back quite a few good things from Pirate Island last time, including an anti-aircraft system.

Wu Ming: ...

The more he listened, the more unreliable the whole thing seemed.

Do these people even realize how many people are watching Dawn Base right now? They haven't even bothered to build any defenses?

Are you playing house here? Even if Meng Shiwan is capable, you can't play like this.

When Meng Shiwan heard the news, she also fell silent.

Because she discovered that, regarding defense, not only had Reiji and the others forgotten about it, but she herself hadn't thought of it either.

I had thought that with a group of superhumans in charge and so many weapons, there shouldn't be any problems at the base.

Looking back now, with no one even guarding the gate, the fact that nothing has gone wrong can only be attributed to their good luck.

There are so many things to care about, it's easy to overlook something.

Meng Shiwan found a reasonable excuse for herself.

She replied to Lei Zhe, "Have Wu Ming come to me. I need to think about the defense."

Since the base is going to be defended, let's go all the way and make the defense complete. Meng Shiwan silently opened the system's weapon shop.

As soon as the system saw that Meng Shiwan wanted to consume crystal cores, it immediately became enthusiastic.

"Defense, right? I know. I recommend this defense system to you. It's great! It intelligently covers the entire base, and it can automatically lock onto the expansion area when the base expands."

It provides comprehensive air and ground defense coverage, capable of quickly locking onto everything from missiles, aircraft, and drones to submarines burrowing underground, and relaying detailed information. Upon receiving orders, it launches an attack immediately, preventing even a fly from entering the base's defenses.

High quality at a low price, monthly rental of 20,000 crystal cores, annual rental discounts available.

Meng Shiwan scoffed, "I may not understand this defense system, but do you think I don't understand you? This must be the most expensive and least cost-effective item in the store."

system:……

Tong jumped over the wall in a panic, "You're talking nonsense, that's not how it is. The one I recommended has the best cost performance."

Meng Shiwan closed the recommended page. "Looks like I guessed right. There must be something with better value for money in the mall."

system:……

Doing business these days is really tough; it's hard to fool people anymore.

Meng Shiwan scrolled through the store from top to bottom and then from bottom to top. Sure enough, there were several icons for defense systems. She clicked on each one to examine them in detail and compared them.

The conclusion was that the system had indeed recommended the most expensive one to her.

There's a reason it's expensive. Besides the features mentioned by the system, there are many other functions, big and small, but most of them are not very useful.

Meng Shiwan didn't know where the weapons in the store came from, but she had to admit that they were all very powerful.

Take this defense system for example, even the cheapest one is far more powerful than the most advanced air defense system available today.

Air defense systems can only cover the airspace above and intercept intruding weapons such as missiles and drones.

This system's defense system is amazing. It can defend against intruders underground, submarines in the water, and any superhuman with the ability to burrow underground. As long as an intruder appears underground, it can issue an alarm immediately.

In addition, there is a large-scale facial recognition function. After the faces of the personnel in the base are recorded, these personnel can enter and exit within the coverage area of ​​the defense system without any problems.

However, if a stranger tries to enter without permission, they can be detected immediately.

First came the warning, and when that didn't work, they just sent a bomb flying, blowing everyone away.

Anyone trying to sneak in would be unable to evade the defense system's detection; there's no way that's possible.

In this way, the entire base appears to have no walls or gates, and can be entered and exited at will, but in reality it is impregnable, with everything, from the sky to the ground and the population, under constant surveillance.

If any abnormality occurs, an alert will be issued immediately.

Meng Shiwan pointed to the cheapest N93 defense system, "I want this one, I'll pay in full."

The monthly rental fee for this defense system is 8,000 crystal cores, and the full amount is 100,000. Meng Shiwan is quite good at calculating this.

The cheapest one has all the functions she needs; she doesn't need anything too expensive.

After all, the really expensive ones are really expensive, and each crystal core is hard-earned, so we have to be careful with our money.
