The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 64: Real War Preparations
After Ryan and Kenway chatted for a while, there was a knock on the door. A spider-like robot stood at the door. Kenway inserted a perforated steel plate he was carrying into a hole on the robot. A drawer popped out from the robot, and dinner was placed in a food box.

How advanced! Ryan sighed. After all, even in his last life, he had never delivered food by robot. Dave was indeed a genius. With these technologies, he could come up with so many new uses.

After dinner, they chatted for a while, then Ryan and Kenway said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms early. After all, both of them needed to participate in the war tomorrow.

The master bedroom had been empty and was prepared for Ryan. When Ryan walked into the bedroom, he found an assassin's suit tailored to his body on the bed. This should be Kenway's kindness.

Although Ryan felt it was a pity, after all, his body grew very fast for his age, he could use this as a template and take it to Diagon Alley to ask someone to make a set of clothes that would grow larger as he got older. Because this set of clothes was most suitable for Ryan to exert his strength, and it was much more convenient to move around than the Hogwarts uniform.

There is also an iron box on the suit. After opening it, I found a gold-plated perforated steel plate inside, the same one Kenway used when he picked up the food just now. This should be the ID card that Dave made.

Ryan installed the gold-plated steel plate, which was only the size of a child's palm, and then practiced magic for a while before going to bed. Ryan was a little excited because he would participate in a real war tomorrow. He tossed and turned in bed for a while before he slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Ryan got up early, washed, and put on the assassin's uniform. It must be said that this kind of professionally designed clothing is more conducive to sports and combat than ordinary clothing.

After breakfast and saying goodbye to Jennifer, Ryan and Kenway went to the square to gather. When they got there, Ryan found that the people who were going to the expedition had almost gathered in the square. Maybe because of the population problem, the number of people going out this time was about 500, and each person had a robot as a means of transportation.

What surprised Ryan was that the robot had a special cultivation tank with many plants in it. It seemed that these plants were weapons for combat.

At this time, Dave finished his pre-war speech and walked over to Ryan and said to him: "It was very difficult for us to attack before because the plants could not move. Planting plants little by little would be too slow, and there was a shortage of manpower. In addition, as time passed, most of the vehicles were no longer usable, and we could not organize a mobile force at all, let alone a counterattack against the zombies."

Ryan asked curiously, "There are only 500 people operating 500 robots. Compared with the tens of thousands of zombies, it is still a bit weak. Can the counterattack be successful?"

"It's all thanks to the technology you sent us." Dave said excitedly, "In fact, there are 5000 robots outside the town, and we are just commanding the robots to fight. Since we have robots, we can cultivate more plants, and at the same time, we have given them unparalleled mobility."

No wonder this group of fighters includes men, women, young and old. On the one hand, fighting does not require hand-to-hand combat and requires very low physical fitness. On the other hand, the current population is insufficient, so all that can be mobilized is needed.

That's why these plants and robots can be promoted so quickly, because humans are so few now. Ryan thinks that the human civilization in the future world is likely to become a hybrid civilization of plants and steampunk. Kenway set out in advance with 5 people and 50 robots. As scouts, they need to explore the way ahead of the army. Dave invited him to ride the robot with him.

Ryan found out of town that the doctor and his 100 robots were different from ordinary robots. Each robot was two stories high, much bigger than the robots he had seen in the square. They carried a huge iron box on their backs, and the pipes beside the iron box were leaking wisps of white steam. The steam from so many robots made the place misty and made it look like a fairyland.

Seeing Ryan's curious look, Dave explained, "Ordinary robots need to be replenished with high-temperature and high-pressure steam at regular intervals and in fixed quantities, but they are too small to be equipped with boilers. So I invented this large robot. On the one hand, it can fight against the enemy's mutated large zombies, and on the other hand, it can carry boilers to replenish steam for other robots on the battlefield."

Ryan expressed his admiration for Dave, the crazy scientist. It was incredible that he could master so many technologies in such a short period of time and make improvements.

As they were talking, the two men climbed onto a large robot, then joined up with the main force and began to advance towards the designated battlefield.

The goal of this operation is to create as much noise as possible in the suburbs of Green Leaf City, lure out the zombies in the city and completely annihilate them in the field battle. This will make it easy to occupy Green Leaf City and obtain the materials and industrial capacity needed for the next step. At the same time, it can also accommodate more people.

The good news is that the last time Ryan came to participate in the war, the zombie leader of Green Leaf City was annihilated along with many high-level zombies when attacking Dave's town. Now Green Leaf City is leaderless, with only a few high-level zombies barely leading a large group of zombies acting on instinct. That's why Dave made a plan to lure the snakes out of their holes. Because there are too few high-level zombies, it will be extremely inconvenient to control the zombie group.

This iron army rolled forward, rushing towards the city more than 30 kilometers away. Ryan was a little bored during the journey, and began to ask Dave some questions about this world.

Ryan learned from Dave's answer that this world was originally five or six years more advanced than Ryan's world in his previous life. Later, a meteorite fell, and some large consortiums' research on the meteorite caused the spread of the biochemical crisis. However, the meteorite seemed to have changed the world, allowing Dave to cultivate these magical plants by luck.

However, compared with Ryan's previous life, this world may not have nuclear weapons due to different physical rules. Conventional weapons are obviously not lethal to monsters like zombies, especially mutants. In addition, the biochemical crisis broke out very violently and suddenly. Humans also lacked enough manpower to operate conventional weapons.

As for the zombies, only a few advanced zombies can operate weapons intelligently, and the rest can only do some simple activities. So now there is basically no room for conventional weapons in the world, and the form of war has become Plants vs. Zombies.

Time passed slowly during the chat, and suddenly, Ryan felt that the giant robot stopped. It turned out that the preset battlefield had arrived and the war was about to break out.
