Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 70 Preparing for Dictatorship

"Former special operations team leader, Platinum."

The two saluted each other, and then Platinum got straight to the point and asked a question.

"Do you often encounter chaos when distributing supplies? Can you identify the source of the chaos?"

Han Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then answered truthfully.

"People would fight over supplies from time to time, but it was always the 300 outsiders who caused the chaos."

"So, are these the same people who might disobey orders when weapons are confiscated?"

"Yes, and there were several people who came to collect supplies just now."

The conversation between Platinum and the four men was relayed back to the flagship.

Ms. Lin heard a somewhat familiar voice and prepared to struggle to get up.

"Ms. Lin, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so you shouldn't move around too much."

Bai Zhi quickly extended her mechanical arm and pressed Lin Shu into the wheelchair.

Hearing the noise behind him, Lorraine turned around and saw this scene.

"Ms. Lin, please just tell us what you need. You still need to rest and recuperate."

Lorraine squatted down in front of the wheelchair and asked.

"Commander Lorraine, could you please show me the video of the scene? I think I recognize some of the people in it."

"Cleveland."

【receive. 】

A window popped up on the data panel in Lin Shu's hand, showing the live feed from the scene.

"Han Xiao, thank goodness, she's still alive."

Lin Shu recognized the woman in the video and let out a long sigh of relief.

Lin Shu looked up and saw Lorraine's questioning gaze.

"She's my bodyguard and my personal assistant; she was part of the previous escort team. Could I speak with her for a moment?"

After learning about the situation, Lorraine did not grant Lin Shu's request for the time being, but instead told Bai Jin about it.

"Bai Jin, have Roy and Ke Xue follow the three of them to start collecting weapons. You can have a private chat with Han Xiao later."

"clear."

Afterwards, Bai Jin conveyed Luo Lin's arrangements to Chen, Guo, and Huang, and then looked at Han Xiao.

"I would like to ask you..."

Three questions.

Bai Jin asked Han Xiao's request seriously.

Bai Jin vaguely guessed Han Xiao's request.

"You go first."

Having received permission, Han Xiao quickly stated her request.

"About 50 kilometers to the north, there is a farm where there is an expert who studies both medicine and agriculture. Could you please go and rescue her? She will definitely be able to help you."

"Then why didn't you take her with you when you evacuated?"

"Because we attracted the zombies."

At this point, Han Xiao became dejected, while Bai Jin continued to ask questions.

"Then why don't you set up positions or observation posts in the surrounding area?"

"There are no buildings within a 10-kilometer radius of the farm that meet the requirements, and further south is the industrial zone. There are no zombies in the factories here during the day, but they suddenly appear out of nowhere at night."

"No problem, I know what's going on."

Platinum nodded and continued asking questions.

"One last question: why didn't you go back to provide rescue?"

"By the time we found this place, the vehicle was broken down and we had almost run out of ammunition."

On the flagship, Lin Shu overheard Bai Jin and Han Xiao's conversation and gently tugged at Ouyang Nian.

Ouyang Nian shook her head at her sister, indicating that if her group hadn't arrived in time, she might never have seen her sister again.

After hearing Han Xiao's answer, Bai Jin thought for a moment and added a question.

"Your team should have an armored repair vehicle. Why didn't you return to the repair vehicle after the threat was over?"

"That's not an armored repair vehicle, but a modified clearing vehicle, which is still parked outside."

"Commander, I need a drone to check the perimeter of the shipyard to confirm the vehicle's location."

"receive."

Lorraine maneuvered the returning Rainbow One around the shipyard and spotted the vehicle.

"Confirmed."

After receiving the message and confirming the truth of Han Xiao's words, Bai Jin saluted her.

"I'm sorry, it's my duty. Ms. Lin has been rescued. You can contact her later."

Before Bai Jin could finish speaking, a gunshot was faintly heard.

Then I received a message.

"There has been a group protest, and they have already threatened to fire shots. We are requesting backup."

"Platinum received, Cat is on her way, I'll be there right away."

The cat ran over as soon as it received the message.

"Someone is protesting; I need to go and deal with it."

"I suggest taking drastic measures; those are probably the ones who don't follow orders normally."

Han Xiao shouted as he ran.

"OK."

Platinum's voice came from the wind.

Running at breakneck speed, he arrived at Baijin, near the scene, and saw a group of ragged, somewhat deranged young men shouting and yelling at Chen Zhigang, Guo Zhiwei, and two mechanical dogs.

"A cat?"

"Kitty in position, fire."

"Bai Jin, just make sure these people don't die in here. Ouyang Nian is going to help."

"clear."

Platinum raised its shield, pushed off with all four legs, and charged into the crowd.

"What are you all doing? We only need your work performance. Those who refuse to obey orders will be expelled."

"On what grounds are you expelling us?"

"I've done my part for the camp."

"Can you hold this place up by yourself?"

Bai Jin confirmed the labor capacity of these people with Guo Zhiwei.

The result was low labor quality, no repetitive work, and the equipment could only be used as a camp defense line.

"The lack of riot control weapons is a real problem."

While muttering to himself, Bai Jin pulled out several short sticks and assembled them into a long spear, while simultaneously making Chen and Guo squat down.

The platinum spear swept across, forcing back the few people who were close by.

"Any further protesters will be killed without mercy."

The tip of the gun gleamed coldly, and Bai Jin's chilling tone instantly intimidated them.

"She definitely wouldn't dare kill someone in here, brothers, surround her!"

"What a hassle!"

Platinum activated the mechanism, retracted the spear tip, and sent people flying one by one.

"I am coming!"

At this moment, Ouyang Nian, dressed in heavy armor, charged into the crowd wielding an unsharpened greatsword, and with a single sweeping motion, sent them flying.

"Utterly useless."

Ouyang Nian thought there were quite a few of them, but it turned out there were only 20-odd people.

Ouyang Nian and Bai Jin used cable ties to tie them up one by one.

Escorted by support drones, they were all taken to the outside of the shipyard.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

"Hang those two that were barking the loudest on the streetlights. Use the rest as fertilizer."

Lorraine sighed. Sure enough, confiscating weapons was the right thing to do, and so was dictatorship.

Lorraine plans to have Ouyang Nian modify the mechanical dog they found earlier after she returns, so that it can carry weapons and perform patrol and guard duties.

For him, as long as Cleveland exists, machines will always be more reliable than survivors.

"I wonder if there are any suitable servers at the dock."
