"Click!" Cao Zhen pressed the button for the second time today. Then, the Honeybee around them reacts with a steady deployment where cases cover opened one by one. It was different from how the Honeybee BSV usually react.
Their projectiles this time is sphere balls with something tightly pressed inside, resembling buckshot. The soldiers along the wall bend and covered themselves the moment they're fired across the wall.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" blast weaker than their first launches of Honeybee happened outside of the walls, with shrieks and roars continued for some time.
The only difference this time is instead of finishing at a single shot, the Honeybee Deployment continued. The second round of a thousand buckshot was fired across the wall again.
"The results are satisfactory," Wu Manya reported using his personal Luna III Device.
Using the same concept as the Gemini Sidearm, each sphere projectile is stuffed with close to twenty Titanium Ammunition with twice the firing strength. With the activation pin sensitiveness made to cast upon impact, it was the same as firing shrapnel grenade.
The third round fired, which is also their last reserve ammunition. It is estimated that 60,000 Titanium Ammunition were used in this battle.
When soldiers on the wall finally picked up the guts to take a look, the battlefield was already filled with mutant corpses littered all over without a complete body.
Eight APVs deployed while the others still question the outcome of the battle. By taking the initiative to collect the Grey Duranium Cores before others did, it will be advantageous to the Azure Wind Gang.
Because right now, only Azure Wind Base has the technology and computing power strong enough to decipher this core.
"Clear the battlefield! Get all the soldiers and workers out there and start working! Residents, prepare the meal, and get ready for injured personnel!" the lieutenants pointed at their respective camp as they deliver their order.
Only the Azure Wind Gang is different. The moment the 400 soldiers depart to start collecting the material, they already started to clear their area filled with Honeybee components.
From what they were told, The Scraps Exchange Company is coming over with new equipment. Furthermore, their food came straight from the base, which removes the need to cook themselves.
It made others jealous of their treatment.
The fourth wave caused total casualties of 60 soldiers, but none of them came from Qingfeng. At most, there are a few scraps and injured workers due to inexperience.
"The first shift shall rest now. Apply your General Recovery Serum before sleep. Cao Ying, Cao Zhen, Tian Yao, and Yang Zhao, We'll depend on you at night." Wu Manya finished his order before the 1st to 4th Platoons returned to the armory.

"Boss, your order?" Dan Bao, Dan Mi, Guo Jing, and Guo Fu are present in Zhang Qin Feng's office.
"Wait. Elder Lucas is coming to us. Give him a few more minutes." Zhang Qin Feng smiles as he replied to them.
The moment Elder Lucas came into Zhang Qin Feng's office, he's impatient about sharing the good news to everyone inside this room!
"Go ahead and tell them," Zhang Qin Feng took the Memory Drive from Elder Lucas and plugged it into his Mother-Key.
"We've managed to buy a copy of operating software, component manufacturing orders, and blueprints for Abraham Tank!" Elder Lucas excitedly shared what was inside the memory drive.
"Really? The Abraham Tank with 10 units of Fusion Bomb ammunition?" Dan Bao grabbed Elder Lucas's shoulder. Even he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Yes! We also found two weaponry design that's compatible with our current vehicles! Guess what it is!" the elder's excitement spreads like an infection to everyone, including Zhang Qin Feng.
"I think we have our answer." Zhang Qin Feng pressed on an option before he swiped upwards. The hologram device on his table soon lit up with an Abraham Tank design.
Only 85% of the blueprint managed to be preserve. This also means that the Abraham Tanks made by Wanshui Group is imperfect! No wonder their battle ability is limited to elevated battle strategy!
"Now I know why the boss ordered for the Printing Hall's expansion. 100 printers are indeed not enough to make an Abraham Tank." Guo Fu nodded as he focused his sight on the components needed to assemble one Abraham Tank.
Even the incomplete blueprint comes close to 16,000 parts.
As for the two remaining weapon designs, one of them came up to be a drone attachment, which can be used to deploy 360 circle sight or stealth bombardment.
The next design is Heavy Artillery weaponry, something similar to the Dennis IMS-2 on the upper floor of his General Store. While Dennis IMS-2 is categorized as an anti-Tank and Personnel rifle, this design was named differently.
[Anti-Walker Rifle]
"What's a walker, anyone knows about it?" Zhang Qin Feng's sudden question puzzled everyone inside his office, but Elder Lucas quickly understands the meaning of his inquiry.
"I have a piece of shallow knowledge about this, but there's someone who knows," Elder Lucas answered.
"Who?" Zhang Qin Feng impatiently asked.
"Elder Johannes. I've heard that her parents used to be the free fighter to Tianxia Nation when she's just born." Elder Lucas replied.
"Please get her to my office," Zhang Qin Feng continues to focus on the Anti-Walker Rifle as they waited for Elder Johannes. Less than 10 minutes, she came in with some drawings related to this matter.
"Boss," Elder Johannes bowed at Zhang Qin Feng the moment she's here.
"Do you know about Walkers?" he asked. With a rifle at this caliber, 110 inches long, 90kilograms in weight without ammunition, it was a total monster amongst the gun.
"I've researched about it when I'm younger. Unfortunately, the components, design, and material used to create them can be said to be extinct from this world." Elder Johannes answered, but it's getting more hopeless as she continued.
"Do you believe in a highly versatile, exoskeleton frame that can push all your abilities to as strong as a Titan? That's [Walker] for you. As long the frame could carry, you can do everything you've imagined." her topic suddenly moved from hopeless to interesting.
"There is more than one type of Walkers, but the most common during mankind's glorious period is undoubtedly the Heavy Walker. It was used in almost all terrain, from within the city, outer city, mountain, and the deep sea."
"When I'm young, I've personally watched how the elite soldiers from Tianxia Nation fought against a crowd of Titans using a mace, blade, or hammer. During that time, you'll believe that wearing a Heavy Walker is equal to putting on the world on your body."
"Don't even mention the Rhinos, even holding an APV on each hand is possible, as long you're capable of making it happen." Elder Johannes's word lit a spark in their heart. Not a single survivor is clueless about the story with Tianxia Nation.
They used to be the protectors of mankind during the early period of the apocalypse, fought from south to north, killing mutants as they go.
"But to create them, we need two elements that are no longer exist in our world!"
"Wolfram! and Alumina!"
