MM Racing Chapter 76 Follow-up Planning
Chapter 76 Follow-up Planning
After Lorraine put the mechanical dog into the container, she saw that Ouyang Nian was still standing there empty-handed.
"If you understand, hurry up and move the things. After we move these, we still need to move the air guns."
"Tch, won't even let me slack off for a bit? How can you treat your girlfriend like this?"
Lorraine rolled her eyes at Ouyang Nian, indicating that he was right, but she wasn't going to listen.
"Watch out or I'll punch you!"
Luo Lin remained completely calm in the face of Ouyang Nian's raised fist.
"Oh right, didn't you promise me something before? Waaaaaah!"
Seeing that Luo Lin was about to utter some inappropriate words, Ouyang Nian decisively covered Luo Lin's mouth. Seeing that Luo Lin was still struggling, he decisively placed his other hand on Luo Lin's waist.
When Lorraine felt Ouyang Nian place his hand on her waist, she immediately stopped struggling and raised her hands in surrender.
"You're not allowed to talk nonsense, do you hear me?"
Faced with Ouyang Nian's threat, Luo Lin nodded frantically.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Satisfied, Ouyang Nian released Lorraine, blushing slightly as he hummed a little tune and began loading the last few mechanical dogs onto the truck.
"She's shy, but she won't let others say it."
As Lorraine muttered to himself, he crawled into the carriage and neatly stacked the mechanical dogs.
"Hmm, what are you talking about?"
When Ouyang Nian handed the remaining two mechanical dogs to Lorraine, he vaguely heard him muttering something.
"I said I'll spoil my own girlfriend."
While responding to Ouyang Nian, Lorraine took the two mechanical dogs from Ouyang Nian's hands and stacked them on top.
"Fifty should be enough for them, since there are no mutated zombies in this area anyway."
Lorraine called out to Ouyang Nian, and they drove the truck to the warehouse where the air guns were stored.
Lorraine instructed Ouyang Nian to load air rifles into the container first, while he asked Cleveland to calculate how much raw material they would have left after manufacturing 50 Patrol Type 1 mechanical dogs.
[Calculating...]
[The remaining quantities of carbon fiber are estimated at 15 units, grade 1 steel at 10 units, and copper at 20 units.]
All of the above materials can be obtained at this dock.
While Lorraine and Cleveland were calculating material consumption, Ouyang Nian had already loaded 20 air rifles into the container.
When Lorraine started moving the air rifles, Ouyang Nian raised a question.
"Are we only taking 50 air rifles back this time? Shouldn't we take a few more as spares?"
After hearing Ouyang Nian's question, Lorraine paused for a moment before answering.
"We won't use them for now. Firstly, the unstable factors in the camp haven't been eliminated yet, and the spare weapons stored in the camp could be easily exploited by malicious individuals, leading to some serious incidents."
"On the other hand, it's because we need to stay here for a while. If weapons malfunction during patrols, causing gaps in our defenses, the shipborne drones can respond promptly and fill those gaps."
Ouyang Nian nodded thoughtfully, then asked another question.
"If we acquire better automated defense weapons later, what are your plans for this batch of mechanical dogs?"
Lorraine was taken aback, suddenly remembering that he had only discussed his plans with Cleveland last night and had not told Platinum and Ouyang Nian.
"We'll discuss this when we get back; the specific arrangements have already been finalized."
Lorraine then sent a message to Cleveland via a portable terminal.
"Cleveland, organize the results of our discussion last night."
【receive. 】
However, Ouyang Nian's words reminded Lorraine that these people no longer had the ability to blast objects, and it seemed that the managers did not have any powerful weapons.
Lorraine immediately contacted Platinum.
"Bai Jin, can you ask them how many special forces soldiers are left, and how many weapons and ammunition they have? When dealing with unstable factors, we can't let them be without usable weapons."
Looking at the air pistols and compound bows in the warehouse, Lorraine had a new idea. So she pulled Ouyang Nian back to the cockpit, and while waiting for Bai Jin's reply, she recorded her thoughts on the data panel.
After receiving Lorraine's message, Platinum used the excuse of taking inventory of the warehouse to allow two special operations agents hidden among the movers to report to her privately.
"Your current numbers, and the remaining weapons and ammunition."
Platinum completed the information acquisition in just 30 seconds.
"Commander, the situation has been clarified. The special operations team has 9 members remaining. The sniper team and the commander have been killed. Weapons were not lost, explosives were not left, 5.8 ammunition for the main weapon was not left, shotgun ammunition was not left, and 20 rounds of pistol ammunition remained."
"We're out of ammunition and supplies, but thankfully we still have a fair number of special forces personnel left."
Lorraine muttered to herself.
Lorraine then sent the information from the data panel to Platinum via Cleveland.
Platinum received the information while keeping his distance from the porters.
"Let's have a short meeting. I just came up with a plan. Take a look and see if it's feasible. Let's discuss it internally."
Lorraine handed the data panel to Ouyang Nian, who had been peeking around curiously.
After a brief silence, Platinum offered his opinion.
"This is inconsistent with your previous stance, and doing so could easily incite riots."
"Yes, and you made such a big commotion to confiscate weapons before, it's too easy for problems to arise."
Ouyang Nian and Bai Jin did not approve of Lorraine's actions. If the composite bows issued to the defense department were taken away, it would greatly affect the defensive line composed of mechanical dogs.
If their pistols were taken away, it could very well lead the camp to another extreme.
"What if the weapons are issued under covert conditions?"
"It's not a big problem if it's an air pistol, but it won't work with a compound bow."
Lorraine understood, and then moved on to the next topic.
"Let's skip the weapon distribution for now. How about equipping special operations operators with air pistols for riot control and mopping-up operations?"
"Loyalty is not an issue, but the air pistol's lethality, sustained firepower, and deterrent effect are somewhat lacking."
"This problem can be left to Ouyang Nian and Cleveland."
Upon hearing the task assigned by Lorraine, Ouyang Nian gave a reply after a brief moment of thought.
"Increasing lethality shouldn't be a problem, but how to improve firepower sustainability while maintaining concealment remains to be discussed."
"OK. That's all for now. We'll discuss the rest when we get back. Meeting adjourned."
Platinum returned to the vicinity of the container to continue supervising their handling of the supplies.
Lorraine and Ouyang Nian then pulled Cleveland aside to discuss the materials needed for the modification.
"Cleveland, if we need to modify 21 air pistols in addition to the existing 50 Type 1 patrol dogs, do we have enough raw materials?"
What are the modification directions?
"Enhance lethality and sustained firepower."
[Calculating...]
While waiting for Cleveland to calculate, Lorraine pulled Ouyang Nian back to the warehouse and, according to the original plan, moved twenty composite bows, twenty-one air pistols, and a large amount of ammunition and arrows into the containers.
