Chapter 37, Hatching Nest
Not to mention that the security anxiety comes from the weak power of his direct descendants and the paranoia of being persecuted. Let's just say that there was an urgent matter that forced Gu Hang to accelerate the expansion of his military power.
There have been attacks by ‘abscess monsters’ in the governor’s camp before. Subsequently, Yan Fangxu led people to investigate the source of the monster attack and found that it came from the woods to the west.
Later, when Yan Fangxu led the soldiers to train, on the one hand it was used as a training place, and on the other hand, it was also to eliminate these monsters.
You won’t know the outcome until you go, but you will be shocked when you go. In that forest, they encountered many monsters, not just the abscess monster. Furthermore, they also discovered many monster hatching nests.
Gu Hang even went to check it out personally.
In the forest where the corruption nests are densely packed, the bark of the trees has been corroded by the secretions of the alien monsters and is full of holes, emitting a strong smell of decay.
The hatching nest he saw was hidden in a dark and damp woodland area, and the entrance to the nest was covered by dense vines and thorns.
Burn the vines and thorns and enter the lair. The parasitic trees were surrounded by a circle, forming an incubation nest. The interior was dark and damp, and a strong smell filled the air.
In the corner of the lair, many alien monster eggs were attached to the wet ground. Within the translucent egg shells, mutant monster embryos were squirming. A thick layer of mucus condensed on the egg shell, dripping from time to time, turning into a pool of foul-smelling green pus. A strange light shines from the cracks in the egg shell, reflecting on the wall of the nest, forming a strange shadow.
At that time, Gu Hang ordered the nest to be destroyed, burning it with flames and destroying the inside with explosives.
However, it was just a small hatching nest, and there were not many more in the woods.
According to their subsequent assessment, if left alone, a wave of mutated monsters would sweep towards Gu Hang's camp, including the Wasted Cave Society, in a few months.
When the time comes, there is no telling how much it will cost to quell this wave.
But fortunately, the situation was discovered relatively early and there was still time.
Gu Hang needed to expand his army to protect the safety of the camp. According to his idea, after the troops were reorganized, except for the necessary guard troops, other teams would be rotated and sent to the forest to purify the monsters' lairs.
The most important goal of doing this is, of course, to nip the problem in the bud as much as possible.
In addition, there are also gains that can be obtained immediately, which Gu Hang also attaches great importance to.
This harvest is a gift point.
When Yan Fangxu led his troops and destroyed the first alien hatching nest, Gu Hang's battle settlement interface popped up.
No loss, two favor points gained.
Then he learned that there were a large number of hatching nests in the forest.
His eyes lit up then.
You were right when you said it was a threat. But in Gu Hang's opinion, it was also a big treasury!
After spending a long time to develop the territory, introduce population, grasp all light industries, heavy industries, and construction industries, he finally doubled his monthly fixed income from the previous 12 to 25.
I was just about to continue my efforts, mention this data again, and wait until the end of January to get the harvest, but I found such a big gold mine.
Destroying a hatching nest will give you two points of gifts. If you burn ten of them, you will get a month's worth of harvest!
Then I still work hard to farm... Oh, the fields still have to be planted, and these two things do not conflict.
However, it was precisely because of the gains that he paid more attention to it.
The 1st Servitor Battalion has basically not moved, and is divided into three locations: River Valley Manor, Governor's Camp, and Wasted Cave Society.
The 2nd Infantry Battalion was basically thrown into the strange forest - this name was given by Gu Hangxin.
The team was handed over to Captain Yan Fangxu as the commander-in-chief, responsible for clearing the forest land.
In the past few days, seven nests have been burned down.
Captain Yan is more cautious in directing operations. He would rather proceed slower and more cautiously, but also want to avoid losses as much as possible. In contrast, Purbov, the original commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, was not satisfied with this. According to his idea, let alone burning seven nests during this period, he wished he could burn seventy!
If we don't strive for as many results as possible as soon as possible, how can we deserve the governor's trust?
Gu Hang was very satisfied with the high fighting enthusiasm shown by Purbov.
Then he chose to support Yan Fangxu's command strategy.
The matter was not so tense that it had to be filled with human lives, so there was no need for Gu Hang to order the soldiers to die in vain.
To clear out the monsters in the alien forest, you can still proceed step by step, destroy the monsters and destroy the hatching nests, just take your time.
There are still several months to go, and even following Yan Fangxu's cautious strategy, this problem should be solved.
Of course, as a leader, Gu Hang needs to be more cautious.
Destroying those seven monster nests brought a total of 11 points of gifts to Gu Hang.
He planned to recruit another infantry battalion from the refugees and slave laborers.
Using the black box manufacturing machine, he could quickly produce enough weapons and ammunition to equip them; by spending gift points, he could also quickly train these newly recruited soldiers into qualified warriors.
In Gu Hang's case, his speed at destroying troops was extremely fast.
……
The governor's will was quickly implemented.
A recruitment office appeared in the Wasted Dong Society and the Governor's Camp.
Residents in both places enthusiastically joined the army.
Of course, the reasons for their enthusiasm are different.
The most enthusiastic residents are the residents of Huadongshe. They have lived a good life for a period of time and fully cherish this period of time. They are willing to shoulder their guns and defend their hard-won gains.
The next most willing people are the refugees who have just been assigned. They didn't have any special ideas. They were simply attracted by the generous treatment offered by the governor when recruiting soldiers.
Food, two sets of military uniforms, weapons and equipment... these are enough to attract refugees who have nothing.
What's more, Gu Hang will also give them work points, so they can go to the distribution station to 'buy' what they want. After these two days of preaching, they clearly understood that work points are a good thing.
According to the instructions of Gu Hang, among the 300 soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, 150 were selected from the refugees, 100 from the starship slave workers, and 50 from the Wasted Dong Society.
The composition of the personnel is relatively complex, but Gu Hang himself hopes that the melting pot of the army can try to bring together soldiers from different origins.
The more effective furnace is the system's [Weapon Card] system.
After a short period of training, Gu Hang will have a qualified infantry battalion.
After three or four days of training and about six days of equipment production, this infantry battalion will take shape.
Gu Hang, who was preparing his team and planning to launch a wave in the alien forest, also did not forget another thing:
How is the investigation going on the cult situation in Fuxing City?
