My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle

After taking care of the Lexus and Mustang vehicles, Gu Zhuo asked the "mechanic" for basic information about the Doomsday Fortress. He wanted to find out what kind of damage or impact firing such a powerful air cannon would have on the Doomsday Fortress.

The "Mechanic" transferred all the information about the Doomsday Fortress into his mind in the next second.

Doomsday fortress shell damage: 0.5% (minor scratches)

Doomsday Fortress internal loss: 0%

Remaining fuel volume: 5950 liters, remaining power: 70%

Cooling time required for the next activation of the air cannon: ten minutes

...

Gu Zhuo quickly ran through this information in his mind. After integrating the information, he came to a general conclusion: each air cannon needs a cooling time to fire. The more times it is fired, the longer the cooling time.

The first launch only requires one minute of cooling, the second takes ten minutes, the third takes twenty minutes, and so on. Moreover, launching air cannons requires a large amount of fuel.

Just now, Gu Zhuo only fired an air cannon, and it only used 50% of its power. It had already consumed 45 liters of fuel, which is equivalent to more than 100 kilometers of fuel consumption at a time.

Although 45 liters was nothing compared to the total fuel volume of 6,000 liters, Gu Zhuo still felt a little distressed. After all, oil will be used less and less in the future, so it is better to use it sparingly.

Gu Zhuo decided that although weapons such as air cannons were powerful, they would only be used in unavoidable situations in the future.

"The Fortress of Doom has just used 50 liters of oil. I'll drive the car back first and fill it up with oil."

Gu Zhuo has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he will try to keep the value at an integer if he can. Chaoying saw him driving the car back and asked:

"What are your plans after refueling? Wait here for Brother Tiger's people to come over, or should we fight there first?"

Gu Zhuo thought for a while and replied:

"We'll talk about it later after refueling."

Driving the Doomsday Fortress back to the warehouse, Gu Zhuo asked Chao Ying to stay in the car, each with a walkie-talkie as usual. He asked Chaoying to pay attention to the thermal imaging display on the car at all times so that he could alert him quickly if someone came over.

After giving all the orders, Gu Zhuo left the Fortress of Doom and went to refuel the car.

He had just used gasoline. Fortunately, he had added refrigerant to the gasoline before. The recent temperature was not as low as before, so the gasoline did not solidify. Gu Zhuo opened the refueling hole, inserted the gasoline pipe in, and started to refuel the Doomsday Fortress.

50 liters of fuel is almost the fuel tank capacity of a small family car, and it still takes some time to fill it up. Taking advantage of this time, Gu Zhuo carefully thought about every next step of his plan.

When he thought about what to do next, Chaoying's voice came from the intercom, reminding him that he was almost full of gas. Gu Zhuo pulled out the gasoline pipe and closed the filling hole.

He did not rush back to the Doomsday Fortress, but spent a little time reconnecting the two oil tankers with the Doomsday Fortress, just like he had towed them back from the gas station.

After doing all this, he returned to the cockpit of the Fortress of Doom without haste.

"Chaoying, can you draw your design faster? I'm afraid we don't have much time left."

As soon as he got into the cockpit, Gu Zhuo put his hands on the steering wheel and told Chaoying.

Hearing this, Chao Ying raised his eyebrows:

"Are you planning to take the initiative?"

"Roughly the same."

Gu Zhuo told Chaoying his plan.

He didn't plan to go to the gas station first. After all, even if his success rate in knocking down the gas station was 100%, Gu Zhuo felt that doing so would alert the enemy.

The two Mustangs and Lexus just now were probably taken care of by themselves before they even had time to inform Brother Hu. As long as he heads to the city center and takes care of their lair before Brother Hu discovers something is wrong, everything will be much easier to handle.

Gu Zhuo had downloaded a detailed map before. Of course, the map also included a route to the city center that bypassed the gas station.

After taking down Brother Hu's base camp, he naturally had to take over the high-tech industrial park that originally belonged to his territory in the city center and collect materials used to upgrade the doomsday fortress.

The reason why Chaoying was asked to speed up the research on the upgrade design of the Doomsday Fortress was because there must be many innocent survivors in the city center. When Gu Zhuo gets rid of Brother Hu, those survivors will become a headache for him.

After all, Gu Zhuo is not a cold-blooded animal and will not enslave them like Brother Tiger did. But he is definitely not a living Bodhisattva who will find ways to accommodate those survivors.

The most troublesome thing for Gu Zhuo is that others place unnecessary hopes on him.

At most, he would ask the survivors to help him find materials and then give them some supplies in return, but he definitely didn't want to stay among the survivors for too long.

The two oil tankers were also towed away because he had the mentality of never coming back. After collecting the materials, he went directly to the largest steel factory on the other side of the city that he had long fancied. Two people, one car and one dog went there, quietly escalating without any interruption.

After hearing Gu Zhuo's entire plan, Chaoying was silent for a moment. Although there were still many loopholes in this plan, for example, he didn't know how much firepower Brother Hu had in their base camp, and whether Brother Hu had any secret weapons...

More importantly, Chaoying actually wanted to capture Brother Hu alive and ask about the whereabouts of her brother's body and her family photos.

But then I thought about it, now this was the best approach they could take.

After all, if they keep sitting there waiting for death, Brother Tiger will find this place sooner or later, and they will become passive.

Chaoying paused, made up his mind, and answered him:

"I can speed up the research on the upgrade design drawings of the Doomsday Fortress, but please don't disturb me during this period. I will devote myself to calculation and research, and compress the calculation amount per week to four to five days. , which is quite a challenge.”

Hearing this, Gu Zhuo readily agreed to her request. He stood up from the driver's seat and walked into the living cabin:

"follow me."

Seeing Gu Zhuo stand up, Chao Ying followed him.

Gu Zhuo walked all the way to the door of his bedroom. He opened the bedroom and had a clear view of the layout inside:

"This is my bedroom. I'll give it to you now. You can study the design in it. I promise that I won't disturb you until you succeed in your study."

Seeing this, Chao Ying thanked him, then turned back to the living room, took his draft paper and design drawings, and entered Gu Zhuo's bedroom.

"Leave Brother Hu's matter to me. Don't worry. No matter what happens outside, it's absolutely safe inside."

After Gu Zhuo finished speaking, he was about to close the bedroom door. Chaoying suddenly pressed against the bedroom door, her expression looked very hesitant, and she said coyly:

"Gu Zhuo, I still have something I want you to help me with..."

"What?"

"If, I mean if, it's possible, could you please help me find the whereabouts of my brother's body and find the photos of me and my family. This is really important to me."

Hearing Chaoying's request, Gu Zhuo was also a little embarrassed. Because to do these things, you must find a way to capture Brother Tiger alive. If you want to capture Brother Tiger alive, you must come down from the Doomsday Fortress.

In such a situation, coming down from the Doomsday Fortress is basically a disaster.

Seeing that Gu Zhuo didn't speak, Chaoying knew that her request was indeed a bit embarrassing. She lowered her eyes and forced herself to speak calmly:

"If it's very difficult, don't use it. I know that this kind of thing is not important to you, and you still have to take a lot of risks. It is true that I am a little willful..."

Gu Zhuo looked down at her and saw that she was looking pitiful but still pretending to be calm, and suddenly felt a little laugh in his heart. It was the same when he went on his first mission as a soldier.

He was obviously scared to death, yet he still pretended to be like an old bird.

Chaoying must be like this now, even though he wants to die in his heart, he still pretends to be ruthless.

Gu Zhuo felt a rare moment of softening. He reached out and scratched the back of his head, rushing to answer Chao Ying's next words:

"I understand. I promise you that I will help you figure it out if I have the chance."

Hearing that Gu Zhuo actually agreed to his request, Chaoying raised his head in disbelief. Then, for some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief, and somewhere in her heart suddenly felt lighter:

"Thank you. I will definitely work hard to research the upgrade design for the Doomsday Fortress. I won't let you down."

"OK."

After the two of them finished speaking, they exchanged glances, and Chao Ying closed the bedroom door, leaving Gu Zhuo standing alone at the door.

Sam ran over from behind him and was about to yell "woof, woof, woof" at the closed bedroom door. After all, in his mind, it was the territory that belonged exclusively to his owner.

"Sam, be quiet and don't make noise!"

Just when Sam was about to scream, Gu Zhuo raised his hand and patted it hard on the head. Sam suddenly shrank, let out a "woo", and dropped his head to the ground.

"Come with me."

Gu Zhuo called it, and Sam resurrected on the spot, his head lifted up from the ground with a "swish", and followed Gu Zhuo to the cockpit. As it walked to the cockpit, it reluctantly looked back at Gu Zhuo's bedroom with the door closed.

When he arrived at the cockpit, Gu Zhuo let Sam sit in the back seat, while he opened the map and found a road that was rarely used.

The road was a dirt road with only some small villages along the way. The road was very muddy and it would be difficult for a car to drive on it.

The dirt road has not been maintained for a long time and looks like it is almost abandoned. However, the dirt road actually leads directly to the city. Apart from being a little difficult to drive, it is almost smooth.

Before the apocalypse, only RVs that could not pass the height limit and thrill-seeking off-road vehicles would drive on this road. But now, this little-known dirt road has become part of Gu Zhuo's plan.

He started the car and drove a short distance. After confirming that the two tank trucks were intact behind the Fortress of Doom, he felt relieved and followed the route on the map.
