In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Li Ming knew very well that the high-rise residential building was located in the central area of the city, with a very high population density.

The entire city had a population of over 60 million, so it was conceivable that everyone in that building would be unlikely to escape unscathed.

Those caught in the tornado would be torn to pieces along with the building and completely vanish from this world.

Sometimes, Li Ming even wondered why the end of the world was happening.

Could it be that the population of Planet Baltan had become too large, exceeding the planet's carrying capacity, ultimately leading the planet's own will to reduce the population through the apocalypse?

To some extent, humans are like cancer cells to Planet Baltan, only knowing how to extract resources from the planet without giving back.

If humans continue like this, the planet's resources will only dwindle, and ultimately human civilization will be unable to escape extinction.

Li Ming pondered these questions, but eventually, he stopped thinking about them because thinking about them was useless and couldn't solve any problems. Therefore, the immediate priority was to figure out how to survive the apocalypse.

Li Ming had already started recruiting soldiers after the barracks were built.

According to the system's prompts, the system characters he could recruit included several types. The first type was ordinary soldiers. Recruiting one ordinary soldier required 100,000 survival points. Of course, this price only included the soldier himself and a military uniform, without any equipment.

However, the combat effectiveness of these directly recruited soldiers was not bad. They were basically soldiers with combat experience, much stronger than the ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Army.

The second type of personnel that could be recruited was technical engineers. These technical engineers also had very high capabilities, but the price was also very high. The price varied depending on the engineer's level.

The lowest-level, Level 9 engineer, cost about 200,000 survival points per engineer, Level 8 cost 300,000, and so on. However, a Level 1 engineer required 2 million survival points to recruit.

These technical engineers were not comparable to ordinary engineers. They possessed strong scientific research capabilities. In other words, you could not only use them as technical personnel but also as scientific research personnel.

Therefore, the cost-effectiveness of Level 1 engineers was very high. Li Ming directly recruited 20 Level 1 engineers, costing 40 million survival points. Of course, this price was definitely worth it because these 20 Level 1 engineers were basically the type that had both light and heavy industrial expertise.

In addition, he also recruited 50 Level 2 engineers, costing 50 million survival points, and another 3,000 various technical workers. The prices of these technical workers also varied depending on their level.

Li Ming spent a total of 300 million survival points just to recruit these scientific research personnel and technical workers.

Besides these personnel, he could also recruit doctors, but the number of doctors was limited, depending on the level of the medical points within the base.

Currently, Li Ming's shelter was Level 2, with one medical center. The size of the entire medical center was about the same as a Level 1 hospital, with about 100 hospital beds.

It could have departments such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Orthopedics, Dermatology, Infectious Diseases, Emergency Medicine, Radiology, and Laboratory.

From the perspective of a comprehensive departmental structure, it was relatively close to a Grade II Class A hospital, and about 180 medical staff could be recruited, including 80 doctors and 100 nurses.

As for the level of the doctors, it completely depended on whether Li Ming was willing to spend money. The more survival points spent, the more capable the recruited doctors would be.

A chief physician from a provincial Grade III Class A hospital would cost about 20 million survival points to recruit.

Li Ming had no choice. For his own safety, he recruited seven chief physicians from first-line clinical departments, plus about 21 associate chief physicians, and 30 attending physicians.

He also recruited 30 nurses. It could be said that Li Ming's medical center could now perform the vast majority of difficult surgeries in the world, and even organ transplant surgeries could be performed.

Li Ming spent a full 600 million survival points just to recruit these first-line medical staff. Basically, his medical center was full of technical experts. Li Ming never supported idlers.

Li Ming's medical center also had luxurious equipment and configurations, with 5 ICU beds, 3 of the world's most advanced surgical operating rooms, and many advanced medical devices snatched from foreign countries, all prepared properly.

In addition to these, Li Ming also planned to equip the medical center with two helicopters and armored vehicles to serve as mobile field operating rooms. The equipment inside was all miniaturized medical equipment with a high level of technology.

So far, the basic framework of Li Ming's medical system was basically completed.

In addition, he could recruit many other characters, such as scientists. A top scientist actually required 200 million survival points, but Li Ming still gritted his teeth and recruited the three top scientists that the system could recruit.

These three scientists were responsible for military industry, heavy industry, and microbial viruses research, respectively. Coupled with the top scientific research personnel he already had, a scientific research system began to take shape.

With the assistance of technical engineers, he could speed up the progress of scientific research.

In a sense, the team of Li Ming's underground base had begun to take shape.

Of course, the most crucial thing was the army that needed to be recruited from the barracks. Li Ming recruited 650 ordinary soldiers, 130 non-commissioned officers, 2 lieutenant colonels, 1 major, 8 captain company commanders, 8 lieutenant deputy company commanders, and 20 second lieutenant platoon leaders.

The total consumption of survival points was about 200 million survival points, without equipment.

Li Ming only felt that it was really expensive. The organizational framework of the army he recruited was that of a composite battalion, including 3 armored infantry companies, 2 heavy tank companies, 1 artillery company, 1 combat support company, and 1 logistics support company.

The weapons and equipment of the 2 tank companies mainly included 24 main battle tanks, 2 armored command vehicles, and 2 all-terrain trucks.

The 3 mechanized infantry companies mainly included 42 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, 3 all-terrain trucks, and 6 military jeeps.

The artillery company was equipped with 12 self-propelled 120mm self-propelled mortars, as well as 3 ammunition supply vehicles.

The combat support company included 2 communication vehicles, 2 radar vehicles, 1 electronic jamming vehicle, 3 reconnaissance vehicles, 3 all-terrain reconnaissance vehicles, 4 armored ambulance vehicles, 2 treatment vehicles, 1 truck, and 4 military jeeps.

The logistics support company's equipment mainly included the supply platoon's equipment: 12 tankers, 7 ordinary trucks, 7 heavy trucks, 2 power supply vehicles, and 1 jeep.

The catering platoon's equipment: 2 mobile kitchen catering vehicles, 8 field catering vehicles, 2 freezer trucks, 4 trucks, and 1 jeep. The maintenance platoon's equipment: 4 mechanical repair vehicles, 2 electronic repair vehicles, 4 heavy cranes, and 1 jeep.

Li Ming had all of this equipment, but even if some equipment was missing, it didn't matter. He could research and manufacture it himself, but the training of the troops must not be stopped.

In general, Li Ming's composite battalion had a total strength of about 800 people, which could be said to be a strong and powerful force.....
