Chapter 90: Chapter 88: Southern Prosperous Chemical Plant_3
Guo Wutao shook his head. Heroes have always emerged from chaos since ancient times, but now it\'s not just chaos—it\'s the apocalypse. Who knows what kind of heroes or overlords might arise...
He rallied his spirits and said, "Don\'t worry, once we take down the chemical factory, next will be the research center. The injections can still be purified, and by then, the effects will be much improved."
As long as they obtained enough resources, the South City camp could rely on its strong execution to slowly snowball, undoubtedly being able to kill more monsters and save more civilians.
This was stated by Guo Wutao!
-----------------
Shanhu Villa District, in the afternoon, Zhu Xiong brought back the last truck of supplies.
142 metal cubes, totaling 71 tons of metal, 40 gasoline tanks, hadn\'t pumped out the gasoline yet, approximately still 1000 liters of gasoline left, which could power Villa No. 9 for quite a while.
The villa hadn\'t utilized large-scale electricity these past few days because Villa No. 9 is where Su Han lives, and Bai Qilan\'s research equipment indeed required electricity, along with other rechargeable lightning tools were also charged here.
However, this was only on a small scale. The equipment needing electricity in Bai Qilan\'s own lab was minimal, but once the real lab was completed, the electricity consumption would likely increase even more.
Apart from the metal, automobile parts, and gasoline, Zhu Xiong and his team also brought back food and some other supplies.
Staples such as rice and flour weighed over a thousand kilograms, while canned goods, sugary foods, etc., weighed no more than a hundred kilograms.
Summer Garden Mall was originally a business center, not a grain and oil store, and although there were restaurants, those foods could not be stored for more than a month.
Moreover, the most important thing was that there had been many survivors living there before, so most of the supplies had already been consumed.
Being able to find so much stuff was thanks to the thorough clearing of monsters this time, allowing them to search slowly; otherwise, they couldn\'t have brought back these supplies.
Of course, apart from food, there were quite a few usable supplies, especially clothing and shoes.
"After Old Zhu and the team brought back these supplies, based on our current number of people and consumption, the food can last about three months, excluding the consumption needed for raising fish monsters,"
Yan Meiyu was roughly reporting the classification of supplies, paused, and then said, "If Evolved Kind fish are edible, then the fish in Yunling Lake could be considered as half a month\'s stock."
Su Han listened to Yan Meiyu\'s report, shook his head, and said, "The matter of Evolved Kind fish, let\'s discuss it after the lab has monitored it. Just relying on the two pieces of meat Nie Rilong ate is not safe."
"Old Zhu, is the winch crossbow effective?"
Su Han looked toward Zhu Xiong and asked about the winch crossbow.
"It has a range of about three hundred meters and can pierce the brain of a Tentacle-faced Monster. The firing speed is a bit slow, it\'s a bit difficult for a Contractor to operate without the winch, but it\'s very effective,"
Zhu Xiong detailed his experience using the crossbow. After an afternoon, he truly experienced what it meant to feel exhilarating.
Fighting with Angel Envoy is one thing, operating a winch crossbow is another; being able to kill monsters from a distance feels great.
Ye Kailing was somewhat surprised and said, "This, how can a metal crossbow be so effective? What about the frequency of use and elasticity of the bowstring?"
"No changes, it works very well,"
Zhu Xiong didn\'t quite understand; the metal bowstring couldn\'t have gone bad just after one afternoon of usage.
He was not a professional, so of course, he didn\'t know these subtleties.
Bai Qilan seemed thoughtful and said, "Can your skills also enhance the properties of metals?"
She had always thought that Su Han had only enhanced the strength of the metal, but she hadn\'t expected it to be so comprehensive.
Su Han nodded and said, "Yes. Ye Kailing, based on the current strength of the crossbow, adjust the blueprints and I will produce the final version. You can use it tomorrow."
At this moment, Ye Kailing also realized that Su Han had adjusted the metal, she hesitated and said, "I can\'t achieve that level; at most, I can imitate a bit based on some top crossbow designs."
She was only familiar with crossbows through training.
But she didn\'t know how to design a new crossbow arrow based on the strength of the metal.
Undoubtedly, if a new crossbow arrow could be made based on the metal characteristics Su Han had adjusted, it might even be possible to create a super-strong crossbow arrow similar to a sniper rifle.
Su Han also understood Ye Kailing\'s concerns and said, "Just do your best."
"Okay, I understand."
Su Han\'s gaze swept over the people and said, "Everyone, get ready. Tomorrow we will take a trip to the Aoke Biological Research Center and move all the equipment back. Everyone is aware of the injections and Evolved Kind fish, the lab is crucial, so Old Zhu, plan the route tonight."
"Understood."
"Meiyu, handle the logistics well."
"Understood."
Evolved Kind and mutants were the terms Bai Qilan used for various kinds of mutating monsters, considered temporary labels.
Those with stable life structures and spiritual energy structures without severe distortions and showing evidence of evolution from the original species were termed Evolved Kind.
Blue-scale carps were Evolved Kind, but they were leaning towards stable evolution, without much increase in strength, also referred to as Low-Level Evolution.

Four-armed Corpse, Spider Monster, and Meat Mountain Demon, these twisted, structurally unstable creatures with high aggression and invasiveness were classified as mutants, in an unstable condition.
As for humans and contracted Angel Envoys, they were unknown; Bai Qilan had not discovered more clues yet.
In this apocalypse-stricken world, everything was slowly being explored, even Bai Qilan didn\'t know if such classifications were correct or not.
Rebuilding the lab might be one piece of evidence, and also an important way to understand this world.
Thus, for Su Han, it was imperative.
