Chapter 10 Countdown: 3 Days, Gold in the Vault

The next day, Fang Heng woke up in his bedroom. After a while, he looked at his watch and saw that there were still more than three days left on the countdown.

"There are only three days left. It's time to prepare for the return trip."

When he was traveling through time, Ethan told him that once the teleportation started in ten days, everything within a ten-meter radius of him that had come into contact with him would be teleported back.

I will definitely take some of these unmanned legions that I have built here back with me.

After getting up and washing up, I went to the control room. Today's task was still to collect supplies.

Compared to yesterday's operation, he did not arrive at the scene today, but instead watched the unmanned army's operation from the control room.

The unmanned army had grown considerably larger than it had been the day before.

The number of Guardian robots remained at 100, while the number of Hump drones increased to 20, the number of transport vehicles to 50, the number of aerial transport drones to 10, and 5 unmanned combat aircraft were also manufactured to protect the unmanned legion.

This is already the limit of production capacity. Many things are produced in a modular manner, so the manufacturing speed is much faster. But no matter how fast it is, the production line's maximum capacity is still there.

Among these, transport vehicles are the most numerous, and most of them are modified from existing vehicles.

During his search of the city, Fang Heng also found a warehouse with dozens of pickup trucks parked inside. The vehicles were very new and had all been transported back and modified.

These pickup trucks were not completely converted into unmanned vehicles, but their driving methods were adjusted so that the Guardian robots could control them, saving a lot of time.

By this time, it was already light outside. Fang Heng looked at the surveillance cameras outside and issued another order to search for supplies.

The main target this time is still the Port of Los Angeles. If there is enough time, the supplies in the port alone will be enough for him to survive for a long time, and the unmanned army can also be expanded many times over.

Unfortunately, he only has three days left.

As the unmanned army was mobilized again, the commotion at the Port of Los Angeles gradually attracted the attention of the zombie horde in downtown Los Angeles.

"roar!"

As the howls of some zombies rang out, the zombies throughout the city began to move towards the port.

The commotion here attracted not only the attention of the city's survivors, but also that of the Umbrella Corporation.

Inside the Tokyo headquarters, Wesker was making some adjustments to the base's defenses when he received a report from the Red Queen.

"Sir, an unfamiliar force has appeared in the Port of Los Angeles. The entire area is filled with unmanned machines, and their combat capabilities are very strong. I am unable to remotely control these unmanned legions via satellite."

Upon hearing this news, Wesker, who was busy at work, temporarily put down what he was doing and looked at the report handed to him by the Red Queen.

Satellite footage clearly shows that the zombies in downtown Los Angeles have begun to move, slowly heading towards the port.

On the other side, at the port, some of the guards and other combat units were unleashing their firepower, constantly eliminating the zombies approaching the port.

Meanwhile, every now and then a drone would arrive at the scene carrying a batch of supplies, and then these robots would begin to reload their ammunition and continue firing.

"These unmanned legions are incredibly efficient. Red Queen, is the same artificial intelligence behind them, just like yours?"

"Sir, there is currently no relevant data. The other party's network architecture is very advanced, and the current progress is stuck at 0.1%, making it impossible to continue cracking."

Wesker was very surprised to hear Red Queen's answer.

As a member of the Umbrella Corporation, he knew exactly how powerful the Red Queen was, so he was shocked when he heard her answer.

"Is there any way to speed up the cracking process?"

"If we can obtain a robot, we expect to complete the initial crack within a month."

Wesker remained silent after hearing Red Queen's words.

He wasn't stupid. These unmanned legions were quite powerful. Although they only had some light weapons, judging from their coordination in the current battle, the AI ​​program behind them was very strong. Umbrella Corporation also had a lot of internal issues to deal with, so it was best not to provoke new enemies for the time being.

"Closely monitor the movements of these unmanned legions, and leave them alone as long as they do not interfere with our operations."

"Yes, sir."

Fang Heng did not detect Wesker's movements, but the intelligent program inside the North American base had now been replaced by Ethan's subroutine. The intelligent program was much more advanced than Red Queen, and its underlying code architecture was also several orders of magnitude more advanced. Therefore, they quickly detected Red Queen's whereabouts.

However, under the influence of the T-virus, the Red Queen had developed a sliver of intelligence. So, when she sensed that things were going badly, she immediately severed her connection, preventing Ethan from pinpointing her exact location.

"Commander, we have just detected an abnormal intrusion signal. It has been identified as an artificial intelligence program from Umbrella Corporation. However, the other party reacted very quickly, and the signal has been lost."

"The Umbrella Corporation? Which place did they infiltrate?"

"The unmanned legion that was carrying out the mission had already left by the time I received the signal, due to its autonomous programming."

"Looks like the Umbrella Corporation still hasn't given up their evil intentions. By the way, where are Alice's Legion?"

"It is currently still adrift at sea and is expected to make landfall on Honshu Island in a day."

"Hmm, how much heavy weaponry are currently prepared?"

"Commander, among the heavy weapons currently prepared, there are 3 120mm multiple rocket launcher vehicles, 2 155mm self-propelled howitzers, and 10 120mm mortars, each equipped with one basic load of ammunition."

"Hmm, that should be enough. Contact Alice and send them two rocket launcher vehicles and five mortars, along with two loads of ammunition, to strengthen the Umbrella Corporation."

"Oh, and tell Alice about the self-destruct mechanism at the Tokyo base. Send her a hacked decoder so they can use it to stop the base from self-destructing in an emergency."

"Yes, Commander."

Fang Heng's attitude towards the Umbrella Corporation was: if you don't provoke me, I won't bother with you.

His primary task now is to collect the necessary supplies, which he will bring back to help the Punisher's repair progress. Coincidentally, the Alice Legion is also preparing to attack the Tokyo base, which will also distract the Umbrella Corporation and prevent them from bothering him.

Meanwhile, on a cruise ship in the Pacific Ocean, Alice had just hung up the phone and was overjoyed.

"Sisters, good news! We have reinforcements! Fang Heng has given us some heavy firepower, which will speed up our breakthrough of the Tokyo base's defenses. Also, be careful in this battle. The base has a self-destruct device. This reinforcement includes a batch of decoders that can prevent the base from self-destructing. Whoever gets into the base first will connect the decoders directly to the base's internal network to ensure our safety."

"Okay, big sister."

Hearing Alice's words, the other clones were also very happy.

The Umbrella Corporation's cloning technology is quite powerful, not only in terms of genetics, but also in terms of memory implantation.

Therefore, these Alice clones possess a wide range of combat skills.

Time passed slowly, and the commotion at the Port of Los Angeles finally drew all the corpses in the city to this location.

Fang Heng felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the densely packed zombies.

"How much supplies have been collected?"

"One-tenth of the plan has been completed so far."

"Now these zombies are all here, to carry out the BRICS plan."

"Yes, Commander."

Soon, outside Los Angeles, several drones that had been waiting took off, with dozens of Guardian robots inside small containers suspended below.

The drone was very fast and arrived at the bank entrance in no time.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

As countless bullets rained down from the sky, all the remaining zombies on the street were killed.

Immediately afterward, the container landed, and the guardians inside quickly launched an attack, entering the bank and soon arriving at the vault.

"Sizzle!"

As a high-powered laser device was quickly set up, the emitted high-intensity laser beam soon cut open the vault door.

All the guardian robots entered, quickly located the gold, and began moving it.

Fang Heng watched the actions on site through the remote screen and nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, the AI-controlled robot is highly efficient, with not a single bit of waste.

Half an hour later, all the gold bars in the vault were transported out.

"boom!"

With several explosions, the staircase leading to a building was completely destroyed. At that moment, the rooftop was filled with a large amount of gold, which reflected a golden light under the sunlight.

The gold reserves in the entire vault exceeded Fang Heng's expectations.

It was initially thought that there were only 50 tons of gold inside, but after all the gold was moved, the amount of gold on site was actually more than 55 tons.

It is impossible to transport all this gold in one go using the existing drone transport capacity.

That's why he placed all the gold on the roof of a nearby building, and waited until the unmanned legion at the port had all withdrawn before sending the remaining drones to transport it away.

As the operation concluded, the unmanned legion at the port also withdrew from the scene. However, the scale of this zombie horde exceeded Fang Heng's expectations, and the unmanned legion suffered its first battle losses, losing dozens of guards and a Hump troop carrier.

Fortunately, the lost guardians and camels detonated their self-destruct devices after their own destruction. The powerful explosion killed a large number of zombies, opening a path for the entire convoy to retreat and allowing the convoy to escape safely.

Seeing the entire unmanned army withdraw, Fang Heng felt relieved.

"It seems I need to be more careful next time and not be so reckless."
