Chapter Summary
Our soldiers all have families and jobs; if we don't prepare weapons for them, they'll probably be scared. If we just let them search like this, it would seem like we're going too far." Zhao Wudi had already treated the civilians and ordinary soldiers very well, but compared to Liu Ning, there was still a gap. Even if you were punched by a soldier-level fighter, this thing could absorb more than 90% of the attack force, and you wouldn't have any problems even if you hit a wall behind you.
"If what you say is true, the current search efforts should be intensified, and their weapons and equipment should also be replaced. Look at the equipment they're wearing now; if they really encounter those people, they probably won't be able to hold out. Our soldiers all have families and jobs; if we don't prepare weapons for them, they'll probably be scared. Although we've blocked the news from the outside, there are quite a few soldiers in this building, and they can guess just by the smell. So I suggest we replace their equipment with better ones, at least increasing the rate of fire. That way, they'll feel more confident, unlike before. If we just let them search like this, it would seem like we're going too far."
Zhao Wudi had already treated the civilians and ordinary soldiers very well, but compared to Liu Ning, there was still a gap. Liu Ning could see all this from such details, which showed that Liu Ning would be a very good leader in the future. Zhao Wudi naturally wouldn't object to this. Besides, these soldiers were all Liu Ning's men, and Liu Ning had already made preparations. What would he do if he didn't let them use them? The danger here was so great that the soldiers were already somewhat panicked. If they were facing known fear, they probably wouldn't be like this. The situation here was unclear, and the expressions of the dead were too terrifying, so they were also very flustered. Replacing their weapons was a huge comfort to them, letting them know that their weapons had become stronger.
Zhao Wudi ordered all his men to be equipped with six-barreled Gatling guns. In such a confined environment, once the firing began, it could inflict enormous damage on the enemy. If they were to use the original air guns, it would likely cause harm to their own men. Air guns work by compressing air and firing it with tremendous thrust, causing massive casualties. While this is excellent, the immense thrust could also have some negative consequences. Because of this, many people felt helpless when certain situations arose. Everyone understood this point clearly. As long as the firepower issue was properly resolved, the soldiers' morale remained high.
In addition to these offensive weapons, Liu Ning also provided them with some defensive armor. This armor was not standard issue in the military; only special forces units were issued some. These things were not cheap; each suit was worth over a million. Although they weighed two or three tons, they had their own power system. Once you wore them, you wouldn't feel their weight and could move freely. Their greatest ability was survival. If attacked by the enemy, even if you fell from dozens of stories, you could descend slowly using the airflow. Even if you were punched by a soldier-level fighter, this thing could absorb more than 90% of the attack force, and you wouldn't have any problems even if you hit a wall behind you.
"I used to think I was good enough to my soldiers, but compared to you, I think I'm still a little lacking. You've really paid a huge price for this guard team. I really don't know what you're thinking."
When these items were delivered, Zhao Wudi, standing nearby, was also surprised. Zhao Wudi wasn't exaggerating; he spoke the truth. In Zhao Wudi's view, Liu Ning was being far too kind to his men. These items were not only valuable but could also easily create dependency among the soldiers. If you have enough funds, you can certainly equip your soldiers with these things. But if you don't have enough funds, and they use them this time but not next time, the soldiers will be at a loss. Therefore, it's best to be discerning in such situations, or you might suffer a great loss.
"The soldiers are risking their lives for us here. We're just contributing a little something. The squad that came up earlier has been completely wiped out, so I have to be responsible for their lives. Besides, not all soldiers are equipped with this kind of stuff. It's only given to those searching on the front lines. We still have soldiers with the financial means to do this. If you think their lives are worth less than money, do you think anyone will want to stay with us in the future? If we encounter some difficult problems, it's probably up to people like us to solve them ourselves. Although I'm not one of those cunning people, I still have to be true to my conscience in this regard. My brothers are risking their lives for me, and I'm just contributing a little money. If I'm not even willing to do that, I might as well go to hell."
Liu Ning chuckled and patted the armor on his body. Actually, Liu Ning didn't need to wear this thing, but he had never seen one before, so he just grabbed a set and put it on properly. The value of this thing was one thing, but the energy it required was another. The energy required was absolutely astronomical. Just like the battery inside, it could only keep Liu Ning and his group running for three hours. Do you know how much electricity it would consume in three hours? The electricity used by hundreds of families for a month would probably only be enough to keep this thing running for three hours. Therefore, this kind of mechanical armor didn't sell very well. Wealthy people wouldn't use it because it was too wasteful of money. Only some people who wanted to show off would use it. However, its effect was indeed quite good.
As Liu Ning issued his order, the soldiers on each floor donned mechanical armor and began another round of checks. However, at that very moment, civilians from all floors rushed out. Although they didn't understand what was happening, the air was thick with a nauseating stench, and they knew something was amiss. What had been an orderly evacuation had turned into a riot. They frantically rushed into the corridors, pounding on the elevators, desperately trying to get down. Little did they know, all the elevators were under control. Without prior inspection, they would not be allowed to descend, and no one knew if Watanabe Taro was hiding among them.
