Kingdom of Corrosion

Ground forces were training, while Maya was sleeping, having completed her training during the night. After finding the kerosene treasury, helicopters had become her favorite mode of transport. Xiaoji was at the railway bridge base, improving the anti-drone cannons used in the making of Snow Egg.

This was a bulky device, weighing 20 kilograms, capable of emitting electromagnetic waves to disable drones within a kilometer by making them lose control and crash. Xiaoji was figuring out how to extend its range to two kilometers. However, due to the lack of radar, detecting drones turned out to be an even bigger issue.

What was once a peaceful and carefree base suddenly transformed into a war tribe, a minor issue for players, but for Xiao Wu and the others, it was like switching to a different living environment. Farmer Stone transitioned into a psychologist, understanding Xiao Wu, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Yi’s fears about the uncertain future. Especially considering the possible future battle against the vast Alliance of survivors, there was a sense of despair and helplessness.

Stone told them that ultimately, issues must be resolved through negotiation, but before negotiating, a battle should be initiated to gain sufficient bargaining chips. Should the battle turn unfavorable, he himself would suggest Xiao Wu and the others surrender to the Alliance, even considering surrendering as rebels after a power grab and murders.

As the leader, Stone was aware that the Veteran’s Base would begin relocating within three days, and by then, the railway bridge base would lend a tractor to the Veteran’s Base for their move. Meanwhile, Xiaoji, Xiao Zhuan, Xiao Nu, and Xiao Ju would formally join the railway bridge base.

Stone understood Baldy, who had to be responsible for dozens of people. After changing bases, the Veteran’s Base would establish its own charter and become an independent base within the Alliance. They wanted to ensure their future wouldn’t be absorbed by the Alliance, thus they needed stronger armament. Therefore, tonight’s operation was also crucial for the future survival environment of the Veteran’s Base.

As for the railway bridge base, several leaders had a secret discussion, aiming to hold out for 180 days, after which they could surrender to the Bullies. From the current situation, it was imminent to start a war with the Alliance after the Veteran’s Base relocated.

The medium strategy is to win a local war and establish the base’s status through negotiation.

The worst strategy is to be forced to retreat into the mountains and live stealthily and sparingly.

The best scenario is to win a war, eradicate the Bullies and most of the Alliance’s armed forces, keeping them from having the strength to absorb the railway bridge base. Meanwhile, ensuring the highest survival rate for NPCs, so after 180 days, they can enjoy the right to live freely.
