Xiao Fan's firepower was supplemented, and he immediately formed a strong suppression against the variant beasts on this side.
A stream of metal torrents poured down, and the ground was suddenly filled with blood and flesh.
The infantry soldiers and riflemen mainly dealt with ordinary variant beasts. The flying birds in the air were left to the flamethrower warriors, while those large variant beasts were handed over to the snipers, rocket soldiers and heavy machine gunners.
Countless bullets intersected into a fire web, and few variant beasts could get close to this building.
Even if there was an occasional fish slipping through the net rushing over, there would be a scout responsible for making up for it.
Occasionally a soldier was injured, and the medical team immediately went over to treat him. The action was very fast. After the treatment, the soldier immediately re-entered the battle to ensure the team's sustained firepower output.
On the ground, a huge python had become the target of heavy fire.
The heavy machine gun spewed out deadly tongues of flame. A string of bullets shot over, leaving a series of frightening blood holes on the python’s body.
"Don't waste bullets on cold-blooded animals. Focus fire on the head!"
Niu Qiang commanded the heavy machine gunner to adjust the shooting angle. The python had been beaten to the point of dying, simply unable to dodge the shot. A burst of bullets shot over and its head was beaten to pieces at the scene.
The python's death immediately attracted many variant beasts to devour it.
Whether it was zombies or variant beasts, they seemed to have an unusual craving for flesh and blood, which was etched in their bones.
However, this also gave the rocket soldiers a chance. Li Yiqiang, who had just upgraded, fired the cloud blasting shells again.
Huge mushroom clouds rose again, large groups of flames rolled up, and many variant beasts were swallowed up, which also caused the surrounding variant beasts not to dare approach.
As several mutant elephants and rhinos were killed, gradually, the variant beasts could hardly threaten the building anymore.
Without worries, the more unscrupulous soldiers began to constantly pursue precision shooting.
After all, this was just a zoo, not a national-level nature reserve. The number of variant beasts inside was still limited.
Continuous killing finally caused the number of variant beasts to start decreasing significantly.
The battle lasted a full hour and a half.
When the sniper and heavy machine gunner worked together to knock down the huge Northeast tiger, the subsequent variant beasts were few and far between.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Fan waved his hand immediately, and the soldiers began to leave the building.
The two fire dragons sprayed out by the flamethrower warriors turned the last group of birds in the sky into falling firebirds.
With a few gunshots, the last few monkeys and antelopes also fell in the pool of blood.
The world finally quieted down.
This battle did not yield gold, silver or goods, but there were other materials.
A lot of variant beast meat!
Variant beast meat is a good stuff. Xiao Fan’s physical fitness has improved significantly recently, which is due to variant beast meat. This stuff will definitely become strategic supplies in the future.
Xiao Fan immediately ordered as much beast meat as possible to be transported onto heavy trucks, and then dispatched Xu Qiang to take several riflemen to send them back to Yanshan Town.
Through Anni, Xiao Fan told Shen Guangming, who stayed in Yanshan Town, to choose another vacant house as much as possible, and not send all these things back to the restaurant.
Xiao Fan didn’t think that ordinary survivors were qualified to enjoy such strategic supplies.
There was too much variant beast meat here. Xiao Fan’s men moved for a full four to five hours. In the middle, they even brought three more heavy trucks before they managed to move all these things away.
"Commander-in-chief, take a look at this."
An infantry soldier brought a white crystal the size of a ping pong ball to Xiao Fan.
The thing was still glowing with faint white light now that it was going dark.
After taking the crystal, Anni promptly prompted: "Commander-in-chief, this is viral gel."
"What is viral gel?"
"Viral gel refers to the source of the mutation in variant beasts or zombies. It is because the virus solidifies in their brains that makes them start to mutate. The viruses in ordinary zombies or variant beasts cannot reach the degree of gelation. Only advanced variant beasts and zombies can possess it."
Xiao Fan immediately asked the infantry soldier, "Where was this stuff found?"
"Commander-in-chief, this was found in the northeast tiger's brain."
Xiao Fan nodded slightly. Sure enough, ordinary variant beasts could not possess gel. The one with the highest degree of evolution here was only the Northeast tiger and python.
But the python’s gel could no longer be found. It was unknown whether it was destroyed in the battle or swallowed by other variant beasts.
If Xiao Fan hadn't guessed wrong, Feng Zhenxiang’s strange speed should have come from a piece of gel.
"Is it possible for humans to mutate through gel? And gain some special abilities without becoming zombies?"
Xiao Fan thought about it and called Engineer Ai Yin over.
"Can you research anything out of this stuff?"
Ai Yin took it and looked at it: "Commander-in-chief, I can't research too much with my current capabilities. But if we have a physical combat laboratory, all these scientific research things can be fully carried out."
Speaking of physical buildings, Xiao Fan immediately asked Anni, "When can I start the construction of physical buildings? Can I do nothing without the MCV?"
"Commander-in-chief, without the MCV, we cannot carry out military building construction, but as long as the commander is promoted to battalion commander, we can carry out some ordinary building construction."
"What are ordinary buildings? How are they different from military buildings?"
"Military buildings include power plants, barracks, mines, war factories, radar stations, air command centers, arms factories, shipyards, combat laboratories, and some high-tech defense buildings. Ordinary buildings include walls, machine gun bunkers, watchtowers, gates, material recovery stations , and commander’s residence, etc. Military buildings must rely on MCVs to build them, while ordinary buildings do not."
"I also need to remind the Commander-in-chief that under the circumstances of virtual buildings, the maximum number of troops under your command can reach one battalion, because you only have one virtual battalion, and one battalion can normally only accommodate one battalion."
After listening, Xiao Fan also gradually understood that the evolved Red Alert system was different from before, with more building unlocks.
Under the circumstances of virtual buildings, his development would be significantly limited.
From every perspective, Xiao Fan needed to establish his own base.
But Xiao Fan still had no idea where to specifically build the base.
His troops were not even a platoon yet, he had no money in his hands, and the time was not right.
Temporarily letting go of this idea, Xiao Fan ordered the soldiers to rest in place and prepare for a barbecue dinner tonight.
Stay here for the night and go straight to the school tomorrow.
While Xiao Fan’s side was resting, a group of people were heading towards Yanshan Town.
