American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 98 Umbrella Shelter
During this period of time, even though the Avengers frequently appear across America every day as firefighters, they do their best to rescue the people.

But the entire America is full of zombies, and the Avengers' rescue force is too weak compared to the countless areas that need support.

As a result, every day there is still bad news coming out that a certain area has been completely destroyed.

The main reason for this extreme situation is the policy of "pacifier pleasure" implemented by the United States for many years.

Many people still firmly believe that the earth is flat and do not believe in the existence of creatures like zombies in movies.

In addition, America values freedom and democracy. Do you want the military to block entry and exit from each state?
Sorry, there is no way the American people will agree to be locked in a cage and subject to strict military control.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the zombie crisis will become more and more serious.

However, some forces are very happy about this crisis.

For example, the average performance growth of the world's top five arms companies this month exceeded 2000%!
The performance of the International Grain Group was so great that the increase once reached 5000%!
All national forces are buying up food and weapons on a large scale.

After all, in troubled times, only food and weapons are hard currency.

趁此次机会，保护伞对外售出了超过2万台C1型钢铁战甲、3000台B1型钢铁战甲、其他轻重型武器共售出500多吨。

The amount of arms sold this month is calculated in tons, which shows how much US dollars U.S. military has earned during this crisis.

No, it’s not US dollars that are earned.

Due to the tense international situation and the near collapse of the US government, the exchange rate of the US dollar has been plummeting.

Now, Umbrella's external arms trade only accepts precious and rare metals as currency anchors.

Anyway, Iron Armor is the only one of its kind. Even if it can only trade in precious metals, there are still many customers who come to it to be ripped off.

In just one month, countless victims contributed 120 tons of gold and tons of rare precious metals to the umbrella.

Carl left a portion of the gold as capital for the group's turnover.

All other precious metals can be exchanged for system points at the price of three tons of gold for one point.

Now the system points have just increased by 40.

Becomes [System Points: 72]

While earning points, Carl was also busy upgrading various base facilities during this period.

Because the construction engineering standard of the North American base is only level three.

The defense capability is a bit poor. It can withstand a small-yield nuclear explosion, but it is hard to say whether it can withstand a large-yield nuclear explosion.

Carl didn't want his hometown to be destroyed by a hydrogen bomb.

Although normally it is impossible for a nuclear missile to break through the Umbrella's air defense system.

Even when he was there, he could easily intercept any nuclear weapon using atomic manipulation.

But what if he's not here?

What if the air defense system is accidentally breached?
There will always be unexpected accidents.

Carl, who has a strong sense of crisis, plans to use his atomic manipulation ability to strengthen the base's defense layer.

He plans to mix a small amount of vibranium into the base's concrete defense facilities, which will greatly enhance the base's defense capabilities.

Half a month ago, Carl began to work on upgrading the base's defenses intermittently.

That day, he had just finished an in-depth communication with the two sisters Wanda and Ada Wang, which was enjoyable for a king.

As always, after completely subduing the two sisters, I took advantage of the good mood today.

"Hmmmm~"

While humming a song, he walked to the military fortress outside the base park, ready to continue the work of upgrading and renovating the base.

The 20-meter-high military fortress is divided into seven floors in total, four above ground and three underground.

The interior space is huge and can easily accommodate 500 Umbrella black armed guards stationed here 24 hours a day.

"Sir!" Seeing Carl suddenly appear inside the fortress, the Umbrella Guards were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and saluted.

Carl was too lazy to pay attention to these low-status clone guards and walked out of the fortress on his own.

Begins using atomic manipulation abilities to reinforce the fortress's concrete defenses.

When a small amount of vibranium was added to the light gray concrete wall and the atomic gaps were rearranged, the fortress wall turned light yellow.

Max level of firmness!

After upgrading the fortress's defense facilities, Carl finally completed all the work.

At this point, the defense facilities of the entire base have been upgraded to a level that can withstand high-yield hydrogen bomb attacks.

"call--"

After finishing the work, Carl breathed a sigh of relief.

Having some free time, and feeling that he had not inspected the base for a long time, he went to the observation tower on the highest floor of the military fortress.

From a high place, he could clearly see a large number of zombies gathered outside the five-meter-long wall outside the Umbrella.

"Roar——"

About 150,000 zombies were roaring and surrounded the entire base park.

Only the number of zombie birds is relatively small, so air traffic is still relatively smooth.

Otherwise, it will be blocked by hundreds of thousands of zombies, and even the most solid base will collapse due to lack of sufficient supplies!
The base has nearly 10,000 employees and guards.

In addition, over the past month, many wealthy and powerful people have waved their money to enter the Umbrella's shelter.

Carl naturally accepts anyone who can make money.

This directly led to the base's personnel swelling to more than 23,000 people.

The amount of daily necessities needed by so many people is not a small number.

At least twenty Osprey transport planes deliver hundreds of tons of supplies to the base every day to barely meet the demand.

Carl, standing on the fortress's watchtower and surveying the surroundings, was considering whether or not to cross the river and destroy the powerful and wealthy people who had paid the money.

After all, food is still quite precious, and it would be a pity to waste it on these useless "fat pigs".

But after careful consideration, he decided not to take action.

It’s not that he can’t do it, but he feels that it is not the best time to harvest leeks.

You know, the ticket to Noah's Ark at the Umbrella Base is only 100 million US dollars each, which is very cheap.

There are quite a few billionaires in the United States, so the right thing to do is to fatten up enough leeks before harvesting them.

Bang, bang, bang! Boom, boom—

A burst of gunfire suddenly sounded, interrupting Carl's thoughts.

Curiosity showed on his face, and he used his telekinesis to lift himself up into the sky, ready to check out what was going on.

Normally, Umbrella guards rarely open fire rashly and waste ammunition.

After all, zombies are endless, and the alloy steel walls are enough to stop the zombie army.

No matter how sharp the zombies' claws are, they cannot break through the solid wall made of alloy steel.

Therefore, after Carl flew into the sky, his wide field of vision allowed him to quickly identify the reason why the guards opened fire.

"Hey, isn't this Gwen Spider-Woman? She wants to break into the base?" Carl muttered to himself.

Gwen, dressed in a black and white spider suit, was moving flexibly among the zombies. Her foresight of danger made the guards' bullets and artillery fire useless.
