The moment Shen Hu emerged, he saw Zhou Tong firing continuously into the sky.
"Old Zhou, I'm here!"
Then he turned to look at the army behind him: "Take over this area immediately, organize personnel to protect the wounded, quickly."
So the squad leaders began assigning tasks, and soon the counterattack began.
The arrival of the heavily armed Changbei troops immediately turned the tide of the battle, and the bat monsters were forced back for a time.
Half an hour later, the bat monster left the camp, leaving behind a field of corpses.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the bat monsters retreat.
However, there were many wounded, mostly from the previous guard force. They suffered some casualties during the first wave of bat monster attacks, mainly because their ammunition was being used up too quickly.
Moreover, the bat monsters are too numerous, and they attack in large numbers, so once a gap is torn in the line, it can easily cause casualties.
Half an hour later, Zhou Tong and Shen Hu arrived together, but Zhou Tong had a cut on his arm. Although it had been bandaged, blood was still seeping through the gauze.
How is Lao Zhou doing?
"Sigh, the number of these bat monsters is beyond my imagination. The number of bat monsters that have been killed is still being counted. We have more than 300 injured and 10 dead on our side."
Upon hearing these figures, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "This is my fault. I shouldn't have fired the gun. I didn't expect to attract these bat monsters."
Zhou Tong waved his hand: "How can you blame yourself! These bat monsters were bound to come sooner or later! It seems that eliminating them can't be delayed any longer!"
At this moment, an expert, holding tissue samples extracted from the bat monsters, hurriedly approached Lu Yuan: "Mr. Lu, after testing, these bat monsters all contain some toxins. I think it would be best to give everyone some of the synthetic form of the golden fruit first, otherwise there is a high possibility of subsequent wound infection and lesions!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then took out several boxes of medicine from the pharmacy in the dimensional space and placed them aside: "Distribute these medicines quickly, three for each of the injured, to stabilize their condition first!"
Then Lu Yuan looked at the expert: "I need a report on the living habits and behaviors of these bat monsters. This matter is entrusted to you!"
The other party was slightly taken aback, but shook his head with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid I can't do that. We have very little equipment here. If it were in Chen Yan's biological laboratory, we could have done it!"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Alright, it seems we still need to call Chen Yan and the others out. We also need to strengthen our defenses during this time!"
After exchanging a glance, Zhou Tong and Shen Hu said, "Mr. Lu, we're using up a lot of ammunition. I think if these bat monsters come a few more times, we might run out of ammunition."
I discussed it with Lao Zhou, and we think we should first thoroughly scout the area within a hundred kilometers. If we find any of these caves, we'll eliminate them all, which will reduce our ammunition waste!
"That's right. Although we have a large population, we don't have many weapons and ammunition. Moreover, these bat monsters are very fast. If we keep fighting these kinds of skirmishes, we simply won't be able to keep up with the ammunition supply."
So the best course of action is to find their lair directly, think of other ways to burn or destroy it, and get rid of these bat monsters!
"Okay, that's fine. I'll go back to the dimensional space for a meeting first, and we can also discuss the city's construction. The city's construction is urgent right now."
It's almost February, and our city's location has only just been chosen, so everything needs to get moving quickly. Otherwise, once the moon falls, we won't have much time left!
The two nodded in agreement, and after watching everyone distribute the golden fruit medicine, Lu Yuan entered the dimensional space.
Lu Yuan first found Ye Hua, who is now in charge of the entire city. The city's construction is still underway, and five apartment buildings have already been built.
The remaining dozen or so apartment buildings are still in the planning stage, but Ye Hua's work is not as busy as before, and he can occasionally take a break.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan arrive, Ye Hua showed a hint of surprise: "Mr. Lu, you're back!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and sat down on the sofa next to him: "I just took a tour of the city and it felt great. How long would it take to build the whole city?"
Ye Hua thought for a moment and held up two fingers: "If we want to build the city completely, it will take at least two more years. Of course, this is only the first step of the preliminary planning."
"To rebuild the city exactly as it was before the apocalypse, and to prepare all the necessary facilities, would be impossible in less than twenty years!"
Hearing the other party's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile: "Twenty years is too long. We simply can't wait that long. Now that we've found a suitable habitat outside, it's time to relocate those more than one million people!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Hua immediately put down his teacup: "The location for the new city has already been decided?"
"That's right. We've surveyed the riverbeds and forests along the Amazon rainforest in Pakistan. Plus, the temperature here is quite suitable, making it an ideal location to build a city!"
