Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 495: Starting Operation Build Watchtowers

She also explained the urgent need of watchtowers and in five minutes, everyone in that room was eager to go out and recruit soldiers to build the watchtowers immediately and distribute medicine.

"I will add the medicine to the water tanks. The water is used for drinking and cooking. This way, everyone in the west side, whether old or young, will be able to take it and recover their health.

But food is still a necessity to increase the combat power of our people." Chu Miao added after she had explained everything in detail to the leaders.

"Then let’s start moving. Since that zombie could give such a direct warning, it must be confident about the attack. We have to prepare not just the soldiers, but medical personnel and other people to handle logistics.

We also have to collect more supplies including medicine to be used on the wounded during the battle.

Right now, the human population is so low that every life saved is equivalent to saving a generation.

Let’s get moving if you don’t have any more instructions, Commander." Captain Huo had realized the gravity of the situation after hearing Chu Miao’s explanation.

Now he was eager to go and start working on the plan because those zombies might show up anytime without warning.

The others were the same and also saluted Commander Shen before leaving in a hurry.

One of them was left behind to show Chu Miao and Commander Shen around to pick the best spots to place the water tanks and build the watchtower.

It had been decided in the meeting with the president that there will be a watch tower on each side of the base.

Therefore, they were going to build a watch tower on the North, South, East, and West.

Now that they were already in the west, they had to pick the right spot.

Even though the West wasn’t as luxurious as the North or East, the place was well maintained and cleaned.

But this was expected considering the discipline of soldiers.

"Hey, Little Miao, you didn’t give me a definitive answer earlier. Will you take me with you when you leave?" Commander Shen interrupted Chu Miao’s thoughts.

She had been thinking about the fastest way to improve the strength of the soldiers and other people who will join the army to fight the zombies.

Even though there were many soldiers, since the safe base was originally a military base, they were not enough to handle a horde of zombies, especially if those zombie leaders could mobilize an army.

The population ratio of zombies to humans was probably 1:100, a rate that meant certain death, if the fighters were not strong enough. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

So, she had to find a way to increase the strength and combat power of the humans in the shortest time possible.

If this was in the cultivation world, it would be easy because throwing them into the beast forest for them to train with demon beasts would solve that problem.

But after experiencing the attack from the mutated rats on their way to City C, Chu Miao didn’t know what more was lurking in those forests.

She didn’t dare to take people there to train without guaranteeing their safe return.

Sparring among themselves was an option, but not a suitable one in their situation.

They needed the fighters to be able to learn how to respond under pressure and attacks from the enemy.

If they just sparred, they will obviously hold back because they consciously don’t want to hurt each other.

The problem with this approach was that the zombies won’t hold back. So, they needed a cruel training method, but Chu Miao couldn’t think of any at that moment.

When Commander Shen interrupted her thoughts with the question of taking him with her, she decided to discuss the training method with the others later on and forget about it for the moment.

"If you really want to go then we’ll leave together. My grandpa will have another companion that way." Chu Miao didn’t mind taking the Commander with her. He was a nice old man anyway and quite pitiful too.

She would just take it as doing a good deed and collecting good karma for herself for when she experienced her lightning tribulation.

Having one more mouth to feed won’t make any difference in her soul ring either, so she had no objections to the old man following her.

"That’s great. I haven’t seen that old geezer for a long time and would be happy to see him again.

Alright, let’s finish the zombie army here first before leaving." Commander Shen was overjoyed to know that Chu Miao was willing to take him with her.

He hadn’t left the base since the apocalypse began.

He had been there for a high-level meeting with the president when the high fever that spread the zombie virus hit every corner of the world.

He, the president and other leaders had been forced to stay there hoping that the virus was a plague or something similar that would pass, until they realized that it wasn’t and they had to settle in the base.

Now that an opportunity to leave had presented itself, of course he was happy to leave and see what the rest of the world had become.

As they walked and talked, they arrived at a spot that seemed to have been left empty purposely for some reason.

There was no cobalt or anything like that and from the dead weeds on the ground, it was obvious that they had been cleared, probably to prevent them from mutating and hurting people.

The spot was a certain distance from the residential buildings and while there were buildings around it, they looked more like warehouses.

"Commander Shen, what do you think of this spot for the watchtower?" The leader showing them around asked suddenly, cutting the conversation between the two short.

Chu Miao and Commander Shen observed their surroundings and realized that the spot pointed out was indeed the most suitable.
