27.Drawings completed
These guns and ammunition will not be that important after the Doomsday Fortress is upgraded. But this does not mean that Gu Zhuo does not need them at all.
In order to continue to lie and prevent Akashi and others from knowing that there were only two people in the Doomsday Fortress, Gu Zhuo simply opened his mouth and asked for most of the arms in this room. He also asked for a lot of bulletproof vests.
As for the compressed biscuits, he only took a little bit and gave the rest to Akashi and others.
Akashi was already very satisfied with this distribution result. After all, he had always thought that given the firepower of the people in Zhuo's car, he would have to hand over everything here to them.
After the division of the spoils was completed, Akashi suggested that the people in Gu Zhuo's car should be allowed to come down to carry the arms. This was of course rejected by Gu Zhuo. Likewise, he rejected Akashi's idea of helping him carry the weapons to the car.
He asked for a cart and planned to transport the weapons to the car himself.
Gu Zhuo thought about it carefully and decided to transport these weapons to the trunk behind the Doomsday Fortress. After all, arms were still a bit dangerous.
If the gun goes off and the entire interior of the Doomsday Fortress is burned down, Gu Zhuo will be directly wronged.
But the trunk of the Doomsday Fortress is safe, large, and insured enough, so at least you don’t have to worry about this kind of problem.
While Akashi organized several survivors to carry the arms, Gu Zhuo also brought a trolley, silently loaded the firearms he wanted into the trolley, and transported them to the Doomsday Fortress.
After all the hard work, the night passed unknowingly. At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, Gu Zhuocai finished transporting all the weapons and completely emptied Liu Yihu's small arsenal.
Akashi originally planned to invite Gu Zhuo and several survivors to have breakfast together, and take him to understand the situation here. If he was tired, he could take a rest.
But Gu Zhuo rejected the proposal. He returned to the Fortress of Doom. After all, in his heart, that was the safest place.
As soon as he and Sam returned to the Doomsday Fortress, Gu Zhuo, who had been tense all night, felt tired. He yawned a few times, had a simple breakfast, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then sat directly in the living cabin and fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he heard someone calling him over and over again:
"Gu Zhuo, Gu Zhuo..."
In a daze, Gu Zhuo thought that he had locked the door when he got in the car. Chaoying should be drawing design drawings in the room at this time, so who could be calling him now?
He suddenly jumped up from his seat, took out his air gun and pointed it at the person next to him. Unexpectedly, the person beside him who kept calling him was actually Chaoying.
"Chaoying? Aren't you drawing design drawings in seclusion? Why did you come out?"
Seeing that it was Chaoying, Gu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, took back the air gun and sat back on the chair.
Chao Ying saw that Gu Zhuo's face was pale and he obviously hadn't slept all night. He must have been busy for a long time at night, and he couldn't help but regret that he had just woken him up.
She sat in front of Gu Zhuo and handed him the design drawing she drew while saying:
"When I was sitting in your bedroom, I felt that you and Liu Yihu must have gone through a fierce battle. There was a sudden strong earthquake last night. I guess you must have collided with something, right?"
Gu Zhuo was surprised and happy when he saw the design drawings. He quickly borrowed the drawings and answered her at the same time:
"Fortunately, that guy Liu Yihu tried to use a Molotov cocktail against me, but it was useless. In the end, he wanted to hit me with a car and die with me, but he obviously underestimated the defense strength of my doomsday fortress."
Gu Zhuo said, scanning the design drawings with his eyes. After the machinist's guidance, he could roughly understand the design of these drawings. It was obvious that the drawing designed by Chaoying was very perfect, without any shortcomings or loopholes.
He couldn't help but praise him and said:
"Chaoying, your design drawing is so good and perfect. With this design drawing, we can collect materials today and start upgrading the Doomsday Fortress!"
Hearing Gu Zhuo's compliment, Chao Ying smiled slightly and said nothing more. She recalled what she had asked Gu Zhuo to do before retreating, and asked aloud:
"Gu Zhuo, do you still remember what I asked you to do?"
Gu Zhuo, who was still immersed in joy, immediately froze the smile on his face when he heard Chao Ying's words. He put away the drawings, raised his head and looked at Chaoying, thinking about how to speak.
As soon as she saw the expression on Gu Zhuo's face, Chaoying immediately had an ominous premonition in her heart. She didn't know where this premonition came from.
After sighing, Gu Zhuo explained everything in detail.
How he defeated Liu Yihu, how he met those survivors after defeating Liu Yihu, and how he deceived those survivors.
The big furnace where the corpses were burned, the clueless photos of Chaoying's family, and the weapons that were brought back.
After listening to everything Gu Zhuo said, Chaoying clenched his fists unconsciously.
She did not expect that her brother would not even be left with a complete body in the end. And her last warm memory, the photo of herself and her family, disappeared inexplicably.
These things are really a big blow to Chaoying.
Gu Zhuo saw Chao Ying's face looking very bad, and then remembered the design drawing in his hand. He tentatively asked cautiously:
"Chaoying, are you okay? I'm sorry about your brother, but I promised you that I will help you find your photo even if I search every corner of Liu Yihu's base."
Chaoying was silent for a moment. After a long time, she released her clenched fists and said in a trembling voice:
"It doesn't matter, I'm fine. You have avenged my brother. As for the photo...
"You should stop looking for that photo. There is no need to do useless work. Now we must seize every minute and every second to upgrade the Doomsday Fortress. This is the most important thing at the moment."
It was obvious that Chaoying's voice contained too many complicated emotions that were suppressed.
Gu Zhuo was stunned for a moment. After all, he still didn't know how to comfort her. After all, he had never done such a thing before.
He held it in for a long time and only said one sentence:
"As long as you are alive and well, you can always remember your family. This is a disguised form of keeping them forever, isn't it?"
Chao Ying nodded and said no more.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo decided to leave her alone to digest the feelings in her heart. He said:
"I'm going to use the mechanic to see how much material will be used for this upgrade."
Then he silently returned to the cockpit.
Sitting on the seat in the cockpit, although he was still worried about Chaoying, Gu Zhuo still called out the mechanic in his mind and started scanning the drawing.
Just like the first time, he closed his eyes, and these drawings, which were originally just lines on paper, once again became vivid and three-dimensional, as if they were real objects displayed in front of his eyes.
The time spent this time was faster than last time. It only took a few minutes for Gu Zhuo to fully understand the drawing.
Similarly, the materials needed for upgrading were once again listed in his mind:
Four tons of steel, one ton of copper, one hundred kilograms of lead...
The material this time was less than the last time, but the overall amount used was still large, and there were still some rare metals.
If Gu Zhuo hadn't done his homework in advance, arrived at the high-tech industrial park, and marked a steel factory on the map, I'm afraid these materials would have given him a headache.
After understanding the required materials and writing them down on paper, Gu Zhuo planned to go to Akashi to get these materials. After all, they, the survivors, have now taken over this place, and some of them may know where the rare metals in the high-tech industrial park are placed.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuogang planned to get out of the car, and then returned to the living cabin to see Chaoying's current condition.
Chaoying was still sitting there, motionless, as if he was still.
"Chaoying, I'm going to get out of the car and look for materials from the survivors. Do you want to follow me or..."
When she heard Gu Zhuo calling her, Chao Ying was shocked. After a moment, she recovered and said in a crying voice:
"I won't get out of the car. You go ahead. I'll wait for you in the car."
Hearing Chao Ying's slightly crying voice, Gu Zhuo suddenly felt like there was a blockage in his heart, and it tightened uncomfortably:
"Then I'll go down, can you do it alone?"
"Yeah, I can do that."
With that said, Chaoying turned around and tried his best to give Gu Zhuo a smile.
Gu Zhuo saw tears in the corners of her eyes, and her smile was forced and fragile. It was like a crack in the exquisite porcelain, or like a Venus with a broken arm, revealing the despair, fear, and at the same time. Incomparable beauty.
Gu Zhuo's heart trembled, but in the end he couldn't say anything and got out of the car angrily.
