Luo Chen didn't follow his original plan and return to the old community in Jingxi District. With that terrifying mutated creature there, it was too dangerous.
If that monster exerted force, it could even flatten a building. Luo Chen temporarily named it Death Claw.
Because it looked a little like a terrifying creature in a game he played in his previous life called Radiation.
The giant beast was a little similar to it. Although it looked like a human, its arms did not have palms but huge claws.
It had a triangular head that looked a little like a lizard. It also had a pair of horns that looked like a bull's, and when it roared, it had teeth that looked like a carnivorous dinosaur...
Luo Chen didn't know where this creature came from, but it must have been heavily contaminated by the Origin Stone fragment.
Luo Chen didn't know if these infected creatures would undergo another mutation.
Based on his observations over the past few days, Luo Chen realized that without food, the lowest-level infected people and zombies would gradually decay.
His skin and muscles rotted, and his movements became sluggish.
However, as long as they had enough food, they would move very fast and even have more strength than ordinary people.
He originally thought that the speed of infection and evolution would not be that fast, but now it seemed that he was completely wrong.
Cities would become more and more dangerous, especially those first-tier cities. In cities with a population of more than ten million, the danger would increase exponentially.
Other than those mutated creatures, there were also the thugs and even other organizations formed after the apocalypse.
If they continued to stay in Urban area, especially in such a dense city, although there would be development, they would definitely suffer a lot of casualties.
Veterans were very precious and could not be thrown into such a war of attrition.
Even the most trashy militia, two-star trainees were much stronger than one-star recruits.
Although this battle looked dangerous and there were some casualties, there were injuries, but no deaths.
Fortunately, there was a medic in each squad who could treat the injured soldiers immediately.
However, they all managed to preserve their precious lives.
Now, the 2nd Platoon had all been upgraded to the level of a 3-star veteran, and the 3rd Platoon would soon be upgraded as well.
The mortars had the most damage tonight, but they were not upgraded to the level of a 3-star veteran, even though they had caused at least a thousand zombie casualties.
However, it was only upgraded to the level of a 2-star mortar. The 1-star mortar only had 30 rounds of high-explosive rounds. Two stars had 60 high explosive rounds and 10 smoke bombs.
If it was upgraded to 3-Star, the mortar would have 90 rounds of high explosive bombs, 30 rounds of white phosphorous incendiary bombs, and 30 rounds of smoke bombs.
The White Phosphorus Incendiary Bomb was definitely more effective against zombies than the High Explosive Bomb.
After all, mutated creatures were not like humans. As long as their brains were not destroyed, they would continue to move.
Therefore, the main effect of the fragments of the high-explosive bombs was that they would often blow up the limbs of a large number of zombies and cut them into a few sections, making it difficult for them to move.
The troops had grown tremendously, but Luo Chen didn't have the time to carefully count the spoils of war. Instead, he directed the convoy to a destination that he had already planned.
Guanlan Village was an ancient village on the outskirts of Jingzhou City's Jinghua District.
They drove straight from the Huaxi highway and arrived at the village after about two kilometers.
Guanlan Village was a village that Luo Chen had chosen to be a stronghold for his base.
Although this was a tourist village, there were a large number of rape fields around it. As a landscape, these rape fields could be used to grow food at any time.
At the same time, there was a reservoir called Longmen near Guanlan Village. It was an important water source and was very suitable for building a population gathering place.
In addition, it was a strategic location with convenient transportation and high terrain, suitable for establishing a defense network.
It took about 50 minutes to drive from Guanlan Village to Jingzhou City's Jinghua or Jingxi District, and it was on the highway.
Thus, Luo Chen could form a fleet to enter the city to search for resources at any time. Other survivors might think that this location was of little value.
However, to Luo Chen who had a complete military unit, this location was a battleground for military strategists.
Whoever controlled this place would be equivalent to controlling Jingzhou City's gateway. As long as they established a stronghold here, they could develop and strengthen themselves.
He could take Jingzhou City slowly and take control of Jingzhou before taking back the entire Handong Province.
At that time, he would be the most powerful force in the Hantang Republic!
However, these things were still too far away, and just a Death Claw was enough to make the troops flee.
Before he had an armored unit or enough elite infantry, Luo Chen wouldn't go back to cause trouble for the time being. At least, he wouldn't dare to launch a battle of this scale.
The convoy quickly stopped at Guanlan Village, and the survivors and Third Platoon were on standby.
First Platoon and Second Platoon got out of the car and started to clean up the village.
There were no living people in the village. Most of them had probably left. After all, there were still many tourists in the village who had mutated into zombies.
Fortunately, there were not too many of them. After less than 30 minutes of fighting, all the infected in the village were wiped out.
Then, Luo Chen started to instruct the troops to set up a simple defense line.
As Chen Yun and Yan Zixuan were police officers, they were appointed to temporarily manage the survivors. They helped to direct the survivors to clean up the bodies.
Of course, there would be some militia following them, in case the zombies were not killed and suddenly came back to life.
These survivors had suffered a lot, including those who had been enslaved by Li Da and Feng Bin.
Now, they were all extremely obedient. Back then, when they saw Luo Chen, the 'people's army' would all have tears in their eyes.
So now, when he instructed them to do a little dirty work, none of them complained about being tired.
As expected, people only knew how precious it was when they lost it. Without experiencing the apocalypse, how could they understand how precious peace and order were?
