Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 285 - 285 284 More Trustworthy

?Chapter 285: Chapter 284: More Trustworthy Chapter 285: Chapter 284: More Trustworthy Several vehicles arrived at the entrance and were quickly surrounded by zombies.

However, everyone had come prepared, so Liao You gave orders through the walkie-talkie.

Soon, several high-casualty bombs were thrown out, killing more than half of the zombies.

The rest were dealt with when everyone got out of the vehicles.

First, they were too close, and using those bombs could also harm their own people.

Second, the supply of these bombs at the base was already low, and every bomb used meant one less in stock.

This time, Luo Ning climbed directly onto the roof of the vehicle and leisurely began shooting with her gun.

It was still one-shot, one-zombie kill, crucially during the night. Liao You and the others gained a new appreciation for her shooting skills and capabilities.

With Luo Ning’s help, not a single person brought by Liao You died.

After dealing with the zombies, they didn’t hesitate or delay, heading straight into the armory.

The outermost door had already been pried open, and the simple weapons placed around were gone.

Clearly, someone had been to the armory before but unfortunately hadn’t managed to enter the core area.

After half an hour, Liao You and the others stopped in front of a large metal door.

“Luo Ning, the smart lock is on this door, please help us.”

Luo Ning nodded, “Okay, I’ll give it a try.”

She stepped forward and touched the middle of the metal door.

Soon, a panel appeared on the door.

Luo Ning studied the data of the smart lock first before she began to crack it.

She deliberately slowed down her pace. What originally could have taken just over ten minutes took almost an hour.

“The smart lock is open now. Please enter within ten minutes, or it will automatically close.”

Hearing this system notification, Liao You and the others were thrilled.

Luo Ning’s capabilities in handling smart systems were indeed formidable,; they had chosen the right person.

Liao You’s eyes sparkled with joy, as this time they could not only obtain weapons from the armory, but also slap the faces of those high-ranking officials who had opposed them.

They had said that many experts had tried and failed, and a young woman with unclear background could not possibly crack the armory’s smart lock.

As for the incident of Dr. Luo’s laboratory’s smart lock being cracked, those people considered it a fluke.

At the same time, they questioned his superior and wanted to use this incident to divide the power in the base.

Fortunately, Luo Ning’s successful cracking indirectly solved a problem for them.

Thus, Liao You’s attitude towards Luo Ning was not only polite but also incredibly enthusiastic.

“Luo Ning, I represent the base and thank you once again.”

After returning, they would have to arrange for someone from the higher-ups to personally recruit talent like Luo Ning; otherwise, if someone else snatched her up, they would regret it.

They had broader sources of information, so they knew that a major power in the city was also building a survivor base, recruiting people.

This survivor base was promoting freedom and democracy, spreading the message that the military-established base was too restrictive, not free at all, and overly restrictive.

As a result, quite a few people did run off to that base, and some from their base also left to join it.

But the higher-ups didn’t interfere, letting those people do as they wished.

Gathering all the city’s survivors at the military base wasn’t realistic.

While the territory could be expanded, the resources were simply not enough to go around.

Plus, a direct conflict would cause significant losses to both sides; now was not the right time.

Therefore, since some wanted to start anew and build a second survivor base, the higher-ups were happy to have someone else share the burden.

However, precautions and competition for resources and talents were inevitable.

As the base was built day by day, competition became more intense and overt.

Thus, they were afraid Luo Ning would be poached by the other side and had to think of ways to retain her.

Luo Ning could tell Liao You was trying to curry favor and win her over, and she chuckled, “I’ve received my compensation too, and we’re a team, no need to be strangers!”

She had also heard that another force in the city was building a second base and was continuously recruiting people.

Several teams known by Fan Ye defected to that base, and it was said that two team captains even became middle management there.

Messages suggesting they wanted to recruit them had also been sent.

Yet, Luo Ning and several members of her team were more inclined to stay at the military-established base.

Although the management was stricter and many rules were set, it offered more order and reassurance.

After the apocalypse broke out, the military had immediately dispatched rescue operations and distributed supplies, sacrificing many soldiers in the process.

These actions were indeed worthy of their respect.

Moreover, Dr. Luo and other researchers from his laboratory were all brought to this base, and they needed to find opportunities to make contact to complete their second clue task.

If they went to the other base, how would they make contact?

Furthermore, Luo Ning was not very optimistic about the newly built base. The so-called freedom was relative; instead, the base had intertwined powers and more potential problems.

It was just the advertising that appealed, attracting many survivors to run and defect there.

But in Luo Ning’s eyes, the military base was still more trustworthy and reliable.

Upon hearing her words, Liao You’s smile deepened, “Exactly, we’re all in this together.”

The smart lock was cracked, and the metal door opened slowly.

Liao You arranged for a team to wait outside for backup while he led others inside.

This was indeed the city’s largest armory, full of a variety of weapons, as well as several helicopters and fighter jets.

Various ammunition, bombs, and fuel were also piled in several warehouses.

“Are all these going to be transported back to the base?” Luo Ning realized that the armory was large, and moving everything would be quite cumbersome.

Liao You said somewhat awkwardly, “It’s not easy to move everything back to the base at once; we can only start by moving what we urgently need.”

“It won’t be possible to transport everything in one trip; I estimate it will take at least half a month.”

He looked at Luo Ning somewhat sheepishly and said, “That means we need your help in unlocking this place.”

He added, “Of course, the base will compensate you with currency points and supplies.”

Luo Ning: “…” She just knew Liao You would say that, and that’s why she asked such a question.

They only had a month in total; how could they afford to spend half a month transporting arms daily?

She thought for a moment and said, “Having me come each time to unlock it is too troublesome.”

“I’m afraid if I’m out one day and you guys want to move things, you won’t be able to.”

“Instead, I could help you change the smart lock’s program.”

“Send three people over from your side, and re-enter their fingerprints, faces, and iris scans. Then you can come and go as you please.”

Liao You’s face showed delight, “It can be reset for new entries?”

Luo Ning nodded, “Sure, it’s just a bit troublesome as we need to reconfigure the smart lock system.”

“As long as we can reset it, we’re not afraid of the trouble.”

After Liao You spoke, he suddenly remembered the trouble wasn’t theirs.

Looking at Luo Ning, he said, “As long as it can be reset, I can represent the base to increase your rewards and compensation. If there’s anything you want, just let me know.”

He indeed hadn’t misjudged her.

If this was done well, it would definitely allow him to hold his head high at the base.
