Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

Li Fei clapped his hands, and after everyone quieted down, he said, "Thank you all for your trust. There's something I need your help with next."

He paused, then continued, "Two of my teammates are injured. Do you have any doctors, nurses, or anyone with even a little medical knowledge among you?"

In this world, although the bodies of all awakened beings have been digitized, they will not die easily as long as they are not under negative status and their health does not drop to zero.

However, Wang Meng's injuries were too severe, and since a prosthetic body could not be obtained for the time being, he urgently needed to treat his injuries.

Otherwise, infection or other negative status effects that cause blood loss could very likely reduce their health bar to zero.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, exchanging glances. After a while, a figure slowly rose from the corner.

She was a middle-aged woman, around forty years old, wearing a dirty and tattered shirt and trousers that still vaguely resembled business attire. Her hair was disheveled but she had tried to comb it. Her face was equally haggard, but her eyes were unusually clear among the survivors, indicating that she had a good mental fortitude.

She met Li Fei's gaze, her voice a little hoarse: "My name is He Lin, and I'm an attending physician in the Department of General Surgery at Nanhua Hospital. I... I need to check on the wounded, and I also need some basic necessities: water, clean cloths, anything that can be disinfected... even strong liquor will do."

Attending surgeon! Li Fei's heart leaped with joy; this was like a godsend!

He nodded immediately and said solemnly, "Dr. He, that's great. The wounded are over there." He pointed towards Tang Mucheng and Wang Meng, who were being watched over by Su Wan'er. "Tell Su Wan'er what you need, and she will do her best to cooperate. Thank you."

He Lin nodded without saying anything and quickly walked towards Su Wan'er. Su Wan'er immediately stood up and spoke to her in a low voice.

Seeing that the medical issue was resolved, Li Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued, "The second thing is that we went through a big battle tonight, and everyone is somewhat injured and exhausted. So, unless there's an urgent need, we can wait until tomorrow. If there's a real need, such as for serious injuries requiring immediate treatment, or if you're starving, you can bring it up now, and we'll prioritize it. Everyone else, please be patient for now. We'll take stock of the supplies after dawn and make sure everyone has something to eat as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the survivors' expressions of fear and anxiety eased slightly; at least they now had a clear direction.

After making these arrangements, Li Fei returned to his team. Several members of Lao Wang's team immediately surrounded him.

"Thank you all for your hard work tonight." Li Fei's gaze swept over the faces of those who had followed them all the way. "The situation here is still unclear, and our men are exhausted. We can't let our guard down during the night watch. We'll split into two shifts, focusing on whether any monsters have been attracted outside. Stay alert, and if anything unusual happens, call me immediately."

"Understood!" the group replied solemnly.

After arranging everything, Li Fei called Mei Xicai aside.

Sitting on the sofa, with the scent of photinia flowers filling the air, he couldn't help but frown.

Mei Xicai, observing the situation, pulled out a bottle of air freshener from somewhere and sprayed it while saying ingratiatingly, "Brother, the environment is really not good. Tomorrow, I'll bring some people to fix it."

Looking at his demeanor, Li Fei suddenly found it somewhat absurd. He leaned back on the sofa, sizing up Mei Xicai, his tone unreadable: "You're quite the reader. But aren't you afraid that I'm actually the same kind of person as Tian Kai, just better at pretending?"

Mei Xicai's smile froze for a moment, then he shook his head, this time with a more serious tone:

"Brother, although I don't have any great skills, I do have a good eye for people. You really care about those two girls in your team, and that seriously injured brother. And..."

He paused, lowering his voice slightly, "Those two girls had clear, bright eyes, and their demeanor showed they hadn't experienced anything like that. If you were that kind of person, they wouldn't be like this now."

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat complicated smile: "I think... you're a person who values ​​rules and loyalty. In this day and age, good people are hard to find."

"In the apocalypse, being a good person isn't a good thing," Li Fei said calmly.

"It might not be true for others, but it is for those who want to live with him." Mei Xicai raised his head, a serious look flashing in his eyes. "Only when the leader is disciplined and values ​​loyalty will his subordinates dare to entrust their backs and be willing to truly risk their lives. Tian Kai... everyone wishes he were dead."

He suddenly leaned forward, his voice lower and more sinister: "Brother, I know I'm not that clean, and I'm not much of a use. But if you need someone to do some... dirty work that's inconvenient for you to do yourself, I, Mei Xicai, am willing to be your knife."

Li Fei raised an eyebrow and re-examined the man in front of him. This awareness and self-positioning were beyond his expectations, and perhaps they would indeed be of some use.

He didn't respond to that question, but instead changed the subject, asking a seemingly unrelated one: "You said before that you're not good in that area. Is it congenital, or was it due to an injury?"

Mei Xicai hadn't expected Li Fei to ask this, and his face flushed with embarrassment. He nodded awkwardly, "It's...it's congenital. I've been like this since I was little. I was often laughed at before the apocalypse, and even more so after the apocalypse..."

Li Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa armrest, and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps I can think of a way."

Mei Xicai suddenly looked up, his eyes widening instantly, bursting with an incredulous glimmer of hope: "Big Brother! You...you're serious? You have a way?" He thought of Wang Meng's incredible mechanical prosthetic body. Could this mysterious boss even solve such a problem?

In Cangnanxing, there are indeed mature drugs that can treat this type of dysfunction, but these drugs are very expensive.

Li Fei nodded noncommittally.

Mei Xicai's voice trembled with excitement: "Boss! As long as... as long as you can cure this for me, my life is yours! You can tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"

Li Fei waved his hand, "This matter can't be rushed. I need some time to prepare. Let's talk about the survivor camp first."

Mei Xicai quickly replied, "Okay, please wait a moment!"

He rushed out the door in a hurry, and returned shortly after: "Boss, this is it."

Li Fei looked at what he was holding in his hand.

radio?

"Yes, it's a radio," Mei Xicai nodded.

"When we were on the second floor, we originally wanted to send out a distress signal, so someone invented this radio to collect official signals."

However, instead of obtaining an official signal, they unexpectedly obtained a signal from a survivor camp.

"Listen," he said, fiddling with a radio that emitted a broadcast: "...Repeating, this is the Longjiang Police Station temporary shelter... We are located at No. 177 Binjiang Avenue, Longjiang District, within the former Longjiang Public Security Bureau building and its ancillary facilities. We currently possess certain fortifications, stockpiled supplies, and medical facilities... Repeating, we accept survivors..."

"Longjiang Police Station?" Li Fei asked. "Where exactly is it located? Do you have a map?"

Police stations are much more dangerous than other places. I learned from chatting with Su Wan'er and the others that this country also has strict gun control, so police stations are a place where a group of ambitious people might gather not long after the apocalypse breaks out.

However, it could also gather a group of talented awakened individuals, or even a large wave of survivors.

"Yes," Mei happy said, taking out a simple map.

He pointed to a spot and said, "We are here, on the edge of the city, separated from the city center by the Misty River."

"And that police station is right here."

Li Fei looked in the direction he was pointing, his brows furrowing as he asked, "Is the police station that close to the bridge?"

Mei Xicai nodded, "That's right, boss, is there a problem?"

Li Fei couldn't help but recall what he had seen when he used the raven to patrol.

There were hordes of zombies near that bridge, possibly hundreds of thousands.

Even if he now has a mech, he could kill them all in a month and still not finish.

Not to mention that it may contain countless high-level zombies.

With this in mind, Li Fei had no choice but to temporarily put aside his idea of ​​subduing these survivors.
