I can extract health points

Seeing the tactical equipment and vehicles, Li Xiao knew that it would be more beneficial for him to build this military factory as soon as possible. There happened to be a little more than 2,000 rare ores, so he clicked on it without hesitation.

“I don’t know what this tactical equipment and vehicle are, but I’m looking forward to it!”

Li Xiao's biggest headache before was communication and commanding and running away. He didn't do anything for a day and was always on the road. Ye Ming and the others were particularly wasteful in collecting resources.

It would be great to have an off-road vehicle or even an armored vehicle.

In the evening, Yang Chao, who was on guard at the perimeter, returned to the base, and Zhao Feipeng also returned later.

"How, what's going on?"

Li Xiao handed Zhao Feipeng a bottle of water on the first floor of the headquarters.

"Report to the boss, the transfer site has been cleaned and rebuilt by the Black Hawk Empire overnight. They searched up and down the road. A patrol unit checked two kilometers in the direction of our base and then did not move forward."

"What's the current troop strength at the transfer station?"

After eating meat once, Li Xiao simply couldn't get enough of it and wished he could try it again.

"They directly transferred a reinforced battalion with a total of about 400 people to garrison, and added four new guard towers equipped with snipers, as well as an infantry fighting vehicle and three heavy machine gun posts!"

"I'll go! It's too much!"

When Li Xiao heard the troop allocation reported by Zhao Feipeng, his jaw almost dropped. He felt that he had gotten a big deal.

If nothing else, just the three heavy machine gun posts could chop Li Xiao into pieces.

"I can't afford to offend you, I just slipped away..."

Sure enough, in another world, even if all NPCs are replaced by real people, the system forces still cannot afford to offend them.

After considering the current situation in the surrounding area, there is no way to expand southward. The Black Eagle Empire is fighting in Xicheng, and if you are not careful, you may encounter the main force.

Going north is good. Wufeng Town is on the branch line of the transportation network. I wonder if there will be better resources if we continue going north.

Li Xiao was thinking about the next step in his development, when Liu Nian came to him.

"Lao Xiao, let me tell you some good news. I found a steel factory here with a daily output of 500 points of steel. How about it? Are you interested in considering it?"

"Five hundred points of daily output?"

Although Li Xiao still holds nearly 5,000 points of resources, the level 5 base upgrade has reached 6,000 points per item. The consumption in the future will be even greater. Who would think that there are too many resources.

"There are defenders, how many are there?"

Li Xiao asked directly, if there were no defenders, it would be impossible for Liu Nian to be so generous as to share the money with him.

"Hehe, in fact, there are not many defenders, just two squads, but the trouble is that the opponent has deployed heavy machine gun fortresses at key positions. With fewer people, there is no chance to break through the defense."

Two classes?

Li Xiao thought about it and figured out that with his combat power and two squads of less than 20 people, it should be no problem to fight head-on. However, he was on the defensive side and had heavy machine gun firepower, so he had to study a good combat plan.

"Okay! I'll come over and take a look that night."

At dinner time, Du Ziteng announced that his first meal since taking office was officially served.

As soon as Li Xiao entered the spacious and bright restaurant, he was stunned when he saw a row of large stainless steel basins.

Everyone who came in later had tears streaming down their faces.

Di Yun: "Scallion oil noodles!"

Zhao Feipeng: "Venison pancakes!"

Ye Ming: "Canned beef and roasted potatoes!"

Zhang Shuang: "Egg... egg fried rice!"

“Oh my god, is it Chinese New Year!!!”

Everyone couldn't help but cheer, this is the day when there are cooks, and the days of eating field rations are finally over.

Li Xiao couldn't help but said to Du Ziteng: "Brother Teng is awesome!"

Du Ziteng was a little embarrassed by everyone's praise, and said awkwardly: "Conditions and ingredient restrictions, let's just settle for the first meal in the base restaurant, everyone starts eating!"

The restaurant brought its own plates and cutlery, and everyone took the plates and began serving dishes in an orderly manner. Although Du Ziteng cooked a wide variety of food, he controlled the quantity very well, and the meals for ten people would not waste too much.

Eating sesame seed cakes filled with venison, Li Xiao began to think about his actions at night. While eating, he suddenly thought of an idea.

After the meal, Li Xiao arranged for Jiang Lang, Yang Chao and cook Du Ziteng to stay at the base and wait for his orders at any time. The rest were fully armed, carrying sufficient ammunition and two meals of field rations and set off immediately.

Three hours later, they met up with Liu Nian's troops in Wufeng Town.

"Hey, your troops are wrong, right? Why are there two people missing?"

Liu Nian knew that Li Xiao had not lost any troops during the four days of traveling. Logically, there should be eight men, but there were only six men behind Li Xiao.

"There should always be some people left to guard the base. What if some blind cat bumps into a dead mouse and discovers my base? Wouldn't it be cool?"

"You are quite cautious, but I came here with full force. Anyway, my base is very remote and there is no one around, so don't worry about it for now."

Li Xiao nodded and said: "It's better to be careful in everything. It's getting late. Please lead the way."

"no problem!"

Liu Nian waved, and his men turned and walked onto the road.

According to Liunian's description, this steel plant is small in scale, covering an overall area of ​​about 10,000 square meters, and has two gates in the east and west.

The east gate is the main entrance, with the machine gun post at the door, while the west gate is the ore transportation channel, and the ore mined from the back mountain is smelted directly on site.

In addition to the imperial troops, there are hundreds of mechanics at the site. Those mechanics are in a neutral state and are originally the people of the Tianyu Republic, so they will not affect their actions.

But now the problem is that the gate originally used to transport ore is closed because the imperial army has limited manpower and cannot take care of both. All vehicles enter from the main gate.

"Is there no way to sneak in from the back?"

"No, there are snipers on guard on the central tower, and there are searchlights for full surveillance at night. The factory wall is powered on."

Along the way, Li Xiao asked in detail about the situation of the steel plant. The information he got was far more complicated than he imagined. He began to doubt whether it was worth risking a battle for half of the 250 points of steel production.

At three o'clock in the morning, the group finally arrived at the steel plant after walking 15 kilometers.

Everyone lay on the stone pestle on the east side and began to observe the situation of the gate with the help of half-human-high wormwood.

Zhao Feipeng quickly confirmed the situation of the steel plant with the help of a low-light night vision device.

"Four machine gun sentries, one central tower observer and one sniper, one five-man patrol team, and the rest cannot be observed for the time being."

Li Xiao thought for a while and said to Liu Nian: "Brother, this battle is not easy to fight. The sniper on the steel plant's observation tower can effectively observe the situation near the gate. Do you have any ideas?"

Liu Nian shrugged: "If I had an idea, I might have been waiting to collect resources now."

"Then it seems that we can only attack by force!" Li Xiao rubbed his hands.

"Attack by force? Lao Xiao, the opponent is a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and one shot will cause more than 100 damage!"

Li Xiao curled his lips: "I have my own way!"
