"What's your secret, boss?" Dan Mi asked the question inside his mind, which will not be answered for his lifetime.
After further understanding about base handling from Dan Mi, Zhang Qin Feng put most of the remaining time to prepares a framework for Azure Wind Gang.
And the power supply becomes his first priority.
With 200 manpower assigned to rush the completion of this Machinery, Zhang Qin Feng promised them a canned fish, soft drink, and packet of biscuits daily. In exchange for this, they must complete the assembling within five days.
Next comes the 60 remaining manpower.
Zhang Qin Feng arranged 20 people to continue with the refurbishment of the two adjacent buildings, which was named as Liuxing Building and Liuyu Building. The two 25 floors high building will be converted into accommodation and working complex, where the Printing Station and Ammunition Production Line will be installed.
Another 20 people will be given the task to renovate and clean the streets from any remains. That is because Zhang Qin Feng has the intention to roll out more Rhinos in the future to act as a deterrence to other top tier gangs.
As for the final 20 people, Zhang Qin Feng assigned them to do maintenance work on the stationed machineguns and handling menial tasks, such as food delivery, temporary relief, and assistance.
Of course, they received the same working benefit provided to those in the Protein Bar Maker and Power Generator.
Half an hour before midnight comes, Zhang Qin Feng ordered the people to start depositing the tech scraps. Because there are no more queues and people to be paid separately, it reduces some waiting and pending for printing the receipt.
The General Store closed the moment its midnight.

Inside Xicheng Base.
Colonel Xichen is having a meeting with the people under his direct command. Of course, that's including the leader of this new Ironhead Team's Captain Guo.
Xicheng Base is indeed worthy of being called as one of the top tier gangs in Changyang. Only in terms of the number of team leaders alone, there are 120 of them.
There are 20 1st-rank Warrant Officers, 30 2nd-Rank Warrant Officers, and 70 Captains.
Captains like Ironhead Team's Captain Guo often led around 50 to 100 peoples (overall headcount). As for those with 2nd-Rank Warrant Officers title, there are over 200 people in their command, but not exceeding 500.
Meanwhile, those with 1st-Rank Warrant Officer ranks leads between 700 to 1,000 people.
The gross number of the 120 team leaders here are around 33,000 people. By counting in the total number of people under Xichen, which is in between 7,000 people, that's a base with 40,000 people.
Size alone, they're 10 times larger than Azure Wind Gang with only 430 people. And by equipment, there are over ten types of machinery here pumping essentials by minutes basis.
"I want 10 captains to lead their people and occupy the 11th zone," Xichen said. Because Changyang is previously a megacity capable of handling 10 million residents, it is separated into 22 zones.
The odd number is allocated at the eastern side, while the even number is all on the western side. And the 11th zone is right beside Azure Wind Gang's 15th zone.
"Are there any volunteers?" Xichen asked. But as he speaks, ten captains stand up from their seats and moves forward. That's including Captain Guo from Ironhead Team.
"Good," Xichen smirks. 10 teams are roughly between 500 to 1000 people. And since the 7th, 9th, and 11th zone is the only link for them to access the western side of Changyang City, occupying one of them may hinder the expansion of Azure Wind Gang.
"Make your preparations and start producing results for me. As for the supplies, my people will deliver them to your base daily!" Xichen ordered them to move. As for those left in the room, few matters are discussed before it ended.

The business can be said to be slower after the incident with the few top tier gangs. Although the situation did not get worst, the people already get used to being paranoid.
It won't get better for at least the entire week.
But having a slower business does not demotivate Zhang Qin Feng. Right now, all his attention should be given to developing the base.
In terms of food supply, the inventory of his General Store is enough to support 430 people for a week. But since there is no apocalypse in his own world, obtaining food supplies is just an order away.
As for the preparations, he has to prepare a few more trump cards for different situations. Although he's capable of manufacturing the Meteorite Battery, the supply is only available as long he has Red Meteorite Core in hand.
And in real life and death situations, having a boost and recovery potions does not guarantee a victory.
But lucky for him, taking over the control from Blood Wolf Gang grants him a few complete techs. Not only the tablet computer given to him by Dan Bao contains the blueprints for the three types of machinery, but it also includes Rhinos Design Blueprint inside.
Zhang Qin Feng went to the workshop after the transfer. Because sync happened automatically without the need for him to manually decides, few additional options are added into the list of Blueprints.

(Simplified due to taking too many words)
After checking the newest listing, Zhang Qin Feng noticed the changes in the two Leishen Munitions and the addition of four station products.
Without delaying it further, Zhang Qin Feng tapped into the selection and checked them out. And after giving it a good read for over ten minutes, Zhang Qin Feng smiled.
The number of materials available is enough for him to take two to three sets on the four final options, particularly the design for RHINOS Mobile Artillery.
The newly upgraded RHINOS now comes with two pairs of walkers attachment, which allowed it to be relocated without putting too much effort. As for the technical side, a more efficient chip following the Daschund Trial Server design helps with the energy efficiency matter.
And in terms of ammunition, it can be swapped with the regular steel rod or a Shattering Disk Ammunition. The appearance of the latter made a small breakthrough in the weaponry field, allowing a railgun to have a buckshot capability.
While for its defensive ability, the server upgraded its protection ability, with extended Grade D steel upon deployment. This way, the RHINOS not only capable of hitting the target while protecting its controller at the same time.
After playing with the console for a while, Zhang Qin Feng tapped on the RHINOS and created 2 units. As for his remaining time before sleep, Zhang Qin Feng made two more Battery Bank Modules and a set of Leishen Model P and Model S.
"I can't wait to see how Dan Mi will react once he sees the two upgraded RHINOS." Zhang Qin Feng falls asleep quickly, even before he's done thinking how to surprise Dan Mi tomorrow afternoon.
