Chapter 7

The Savior's Drone Matrix

In addition to his own composite bow, Jiang Yan also bought five or six bows with a lower weight, around 30 to 50 pounds, suitable for adult men.

If it's even smaller...

That's for children; the range and lethality might not be enough.

Zombies are troublesome if you can't kill them in one hit.

You also need to buy some ordinary arrow shafts, but not too many, because very few ordinary people know how to use a bow and arrow, so buying more is pointless.

This is where crossbows come in handy; they're extremely easy to use.

Unfortunately, even the items they distribute are prohibited in our country.

"Oh, right, there's a matching accessory for this composite bow. Since you bought so many, I might as well give it to you for free, but don't tell anyone, it's not very clean."

The store manager calmly handed over a black cloth bag containing a long, rectangular object.

Jiang Yan carefully lifted the black cloth and peeked inside; it looked like an arrow quiver.

"It's electric, but it can be converted to semi-automatic. You'll see once you install it," the store manager whispered a reminder.

"Understood." Jiang Yan nodded. The words "semi-automatic" were prohibited, but he roughly understood how to use them.

There's really no need to buy anything else. He found some police-issue waist forks, riot shields, and the like, which are more suitable for ordinary people.

As for their primary melee weapon, it was undoubtedly the spear.

The spear is a "wheelchair" weapon that humans have used since primitive society, and its power in team combat is far beyond imagination.

As long as the zombie isn't some ultimate mutated tyrant, you can just thrust a spear at the head of a running zombie...

It's so easy to kill him.

"A spear? Those things are quite rare. We have high-strength carbon steel rods, but the spearhead would probably have to be custom-made..."

The shopkeeper found it a bit strange. Many people collected swords because they were undeniably cool, and he had quite a few himself, but spears…

"I see, you're going to Africa to play Clash of Clans?" he asked, looking puzzled. "But these days, everyone uses the Akkadian 47 in Clash of Clans, nobody uses spearmen!"

"I've arranged a fight with someone from Causeway Bay. I heard they all use machetes, but I'll definitely win with a spear, you know?" Jiang Yan made up a few excuses to get by, and used his boss's connections to get the spear custom-made.

You don't need too many, twenty or thirty will be enough.

It's already quite remarkable to find so many people willing to fight zombies in the early stages of the apocalypse.

Most people have no experience of facing bloodshed. Chinese people are relatively good, with a latent warlike gene, but even the most warlike will feel scared when facing ferocious and crazy zombies.

The courage of an ordinary person can be easily shattered into nothingness.

If it weren't illegal, he would have prepared some "combat stimulants"; if they were less addictive, he could definitely use them.

It's better than being chased by zombies until your legs go weak.

Unfortunately, this thing is really hard to find; you'd easily end up in jail waiting for the end of the world.

Then it's all over.

After preparing the supplies, Jiang Yan walked out of the military supply store. It was already evening; he had spent almost the entire day on these matters.

However, the sense of security associated with the impending doomsday has risen accordingly.

I glanced at the time and realized that the food and water I bought in the afternoon were almost at the pier, so I took a taxi back to pick them up.

There were quite a few items, so they could only be temporarily stored in Captain Zhang's warehouse. The captain was very generous and said there was no need to charge them.

There was plenty of food and water, but it was all packed in sealed boxes, so nothing could be seen from the outside. Therefore, the captain didn't suspect anything.

A voyage at sea consumes a lot of supplies, so the captain only considered them as things for enjoyment.

It's normal for young people to do that, after all, they're going to be on vacation for a month.

"Sorting and loading the ship is a big job. We'll have to ask the captain to help us find some laborers tomorrow. It'll probably be a busy day."

Jiang Yan felt his scalp tingle just looking at all these supplies. He definitely couldn't finish them all by himself, and it might not even be enough for a week.

This shows the advantage of chartering a ship; at least you won't attract attention when stockpiling supplies, and you don't have to worry about being targeted by malicious people after the apocalypse.

The scenario of my neighbor hoarding grain while I hoard guns will never happen, even if someone does have malicious intentions...

He would have to be found at sea.

After finishing things at the dock, it was already past eight o'clock. Jiang Yan decided to rent a warehouse in the city tomorrow to store supplies, complete the other five "burrows" for the cunning rabbit, and also find porters to load the goods onto the ship.

Jiang Yan checked his phone and saw a WeChat message from "Savior" on the homepage, so he opened it.

Savior: I'm out of school, are you going to come pick me up?

He had just finished his work and had something he wanted to ask Su Muyun, so he took a taxi to the school.

The dock was not close to the school, so by the time Jiang Yan arrived, there were hardly any people left near the school gate, as most of the day students had already gone home.

On the empty street, Su Muyun stood there gracefully...

Playing on my phone.

"I'm here. Which direction do you live in? Let's ride a shared bike home."

Jiang Yan walked up to Su Muyun and casually grabbed a bicycle from the side.

"OK."

Su Muyun nodded.

The moment Jiang Yan looked her over, he sensed something was off and instinctively asked, "Why do you seem a bit more muscular than at noon? Is it just my imagination?"

I guess, how could anyone change so much in just one afternoon?

Visibly stronger?

Super Saiyan?

"I...maybe I ate too much at lunch."

Su Muyun's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.

Most girls would probably find it hard to accept being called "strong" by a man.

But as for her...

I didn't feel anything, but rather a little excited.

This means she may have actually become stronger and better able to fulfill the role of "savior".

As for whether this will become unattractive...

Su Muyun felt that nothing was more important than being a good savior.

Besides, is the female knight necessarily uglier than the princess?

One's perception of beauty cannot be so narrow.

Jiang Yan was unaware of Su Muyun's inner thoughts; otherwise, he would have added a comment.

Actually, female knights and princesses are quite similar; neither of them have a good ending in anime.

"Eat more, it's good for your growth."

Jiang Yan didn't pay much attention and casually replied.

Did you eat too much?

How much can a girl eat?

If you can get strong in just one afternoon, wouldn't Arnold next door be green with envy?

Upon hearing this, Su Muyun recalled the scene in the cafeteria at noon, and her face involuntarily turned red again.

perhaps……

Four or five dark-skinned physical education students combined couldn't eat as much as she did.

"I bought enough supplies today to get through the early stages of the apocalypse, so you don't need to worry about that. If you want to prepare some snacks, feel free to do so; there's plenty of space."

Jiang Yan and she didn't have much to say to each other, so he simply told her about the preparations before the end of the world.

"It should be completed within seven days. If there are no problems, I can take you to see it after school this Friday."

Su Muyun nodded solemnly: "Okay, I believe you'll do even better than I imagined..."

She continued, "You said today that the savior should possess a skill that can be put into production. I thought about it carefully, and as the president of the robotics club, I have some knowledge in this area."

"robot?"

Jiang Yan didn't understand what she was trying to say for a moment.

Piloting a Gundam to fight zombies?

Isn't that a bit too sci-fi?

"For DIY drones and such, you can give me some practical requirements, and I should be able to design a drone array. My dad also owns a drone factory, which I think would be very helpful for post-apocalyptic survival."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up immediately.

That's so helpful! How could he forget about that?
