Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 39 1 Exploring the North River

As he spoke, Yan Chi pulled up data from his computer, including a normal graph simulating the rise of the Beijiang River and a comparison with the current situation.

It is clear that the fluctuations and changes in the Beijiang River's water level began when the crocodile king suddenly started driving away powerful individuals and threatening groups from the riverbank.

"Any changes in the environment?"

Unlike Yan Chi, who approached things purely from a technical information perspective, Wu Ou knew about some of the things that would happen under normal circumstances.

In addition, some information obtained after the fact to enhance our inferences about how the current situation is developing.

"The normal scenario we encountered at the northern base was a herd of animals led by a mother elephant and her calf."

The original scale should have included all those who were driven over, but there weren't as many as we encountered on the way.

In other words, in terms of timing, some potentially powerful beast kings in certain areas all started to become aggressive around the same time!

Combining the information from both sources, we found the key common ground.

"It seems we really need to make a trip to Beijiang and see for ourselves what's going on!"

In Wu Ou's memory, under normal circumstances in his previous life, no large-scale historical sites appeared in Beijiang.

However, a small ruin exists on an island a few kilometers away in the river.

Unfortunately, at that time, the city in Beijiang had not yet been rebuilt, and the northern base had not yet built any warships, which naturally slowed down the excavation and development in this area.

Later, it was discovered by people in a settlement in Jiangbei, who obtained some of its technology.

However, according to the report, because of the passage of time, the ruins have suffered from natural erosion and damage from source energy beasts.

In addition, at that time, medium-sized relics were beginning to appear, and the report on small relics was still in a state of disrepair, so it was just a record.

"Hopefully, this will attract their attention!" Yan Chi sighed.

Although he became the leader of a team and a member of the decision-making group of five because of his strength.

But in reality, due to his age and abilities, he spent most of his time filling in the numbers in the group of five.

In fact, many ordinary people believe that he was just "lucky" to become a special evolved being first.

If it weren't for his significant contributions to the technical fixes of the entire mall, his position would probably have been coveted long ago.

Compared to the northern base, the basic power supply here was restored to normal earlier.

Even so, Xie Rui and his men still did not pay attention to the repair and construction of machine tools, nor did they prepare to mass-produce firearms to deal with the possible beast tide.

Instead, they wanted to speed up the repairs and reinforce the vehicle.

In addition, mass-produced cold weapons were provided to the people so that they could continue to hunt down the source beasts in the surrounding area and maintain their normal livelihoods.

"I have a question. What do you want to use this for?" Wu Ou turned around and patted the machine tool that took up a lot of space in the room.

"Weapons, tanks," Yan Chi said, his eyes gleaming with a welding-like light, a passion that came from the depths of his soul.

"My idol used to be someone who could make all sorts of simple weapons and that tank-like simulator!"

However, my family's resources are limited, and my own hands-on skills are also average.

I can only make figurines and sculptures to satisfy my desires.

Later, when I went to university, assembling computers and other electronic devices became my only source of enjoyment.

I helped classmates assemble computers and modify phones, and I even made some money.

At this point, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"I originally had my eye on a drone modification project and planned to collaborate with my classmates to create a drone performance system."

"But who would have thought that something like this would happen before it even started?" he said, looking at his hands.

"I used the drones and bombers I made to kill the mutated beasts, but I couldn't save my grandparents."

It wasn't until I later completed my ability upgrade and became a special evolved being that it became easier to create things, and some of the designs in my mind were able to be realized.

"But still, not many people are willing to support me." As he spoke, he took out a delicate model about the size of a palm from the drawer next to him.

It was a six-wheeled armored vehicle, with machine gun muzzles visible, two horizontal firing ports, and one anti-aircraft machine gun muzzle.

There are even two firing ports that should be reserved for weapons like mortars.

However, what looks somewhat awkward is the equally large spring at the back of the chariot.

"The issue of power is a difficulty I encountered."

I am good at weapon design, or rather, I have ideas and inspiration in this area.

And then there's my friend, who's skilled in computer architecture design and related online abilities.

However, in terms of energy, our combined resources aren't great, so achieving this goal will be very difficult.

After winding the mainspring to its full length, Yan Chi let the chariot move a short distance on the table before putting it back in the drawer.

"Gasoline and small generators are tightly controlled by Xie Rui and his group, for fear that if someone gets them, they will either drive away or make weapons on their own." At this point, Yan Chi shook his head, seemingly looking down on their practices.

"If I can leave this place and guarantee the safety of those who are willing to follow me, I would be willing to leave and go to a place where I can fully utilize my abilities."

His words already constituted a statement.

"The Northern Base welcomes all talented individuals who are willing to join us," Wu Ou replied with a smile.

The next morning, after breakfast, the joint exploration team from both sides set off towards Beijiang.

A dozen or so vehicles formed a long convoy and headed towards Beijiang.

In the car, Miao Zikai couldn't help but look at Wu Ou. "I really didn't expect that a scientist from the Northern Base would dare to come with us to such a dangerous place." His gaze then fell on Hu Meng and Su Xue, who were sitting on the side.

"They even provided such capable bodyguards, that's really luxurious!"

With their combined strength, these two would probably be enough to become team leaders in the Linjiang shopping mall area.

At the northern base, he was only allowed to serve as a bodyguard for a researcher!

He had considered that Wu Ou, like Yan Chi, might also possess special abilities.

She just couldn't believe that her special "status" here was so "ordinary" here in the Northern Base.

"The situation in Beijiang is still unknown, but it is certain that it will not be smooth or safe."

"I hope that Captain Miao and your men can show the style of Linjiang Shopping Mall!" Wu Ou heard the sarcasm in his voice and retorted sarcastically.

Miao Zikai sneered and turned to look out the window. "You don't need to worry about me. Just be careful not to scare you again; we can't guarantee that!"

squeak--

After braking for a moment, the car slid forward a short distance before coming to a stop.

Miao Zikai stood up abruptly.

"What happened?!"
