Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 113 Naval Base

Once the cargo ship's conversion was complete, Lorraine informed Chen Zhigang that he could send someone to the dock to collect the ship.

Before long, Han Xiao led the workers and patrol team to the dock and began to take over the cargo ship. Then, Lorraine handed the printed map to Han Xiao.

"If there are problems with the trucks at the port, you can go to the parking lot to look for drivable trucks."

"clear!"

After seeing the cargo ship successfully leave the dock with the assistance of the drone, Lorraine then instructed Cleveland to sail away from the dock and head towards the naval base.

The two warships were arranged in a single column on the sea, traveling at a speed of 35 knots.

After moving the heavy objects, Ouyang Nian was kicked out of the hydroponic farm by Lin Shu and went to the driver's seat, where he saw Lorraine looking up information.

Where are we going now?

"Go to the naval base on the map and see if there are any usable weapons or equipment."

"Oh, wait, why isn't Platinum in the cockpit?"

"She's in the maintenance room, since there might be quite a few zombies inside the base."

Since the intelligence system only stated that this naval base was the location of a squadron, Lorraine had no idea what unexpected things might be inside this base that could be found on the map.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Lorraine still couldn't find anything special about the naval base in the database.

"Let's go to the maintenance room; there's some new equipment we can use."

Lorraine stood up and beckoned Ouyang Nian to leave the driver's seat.

As soon as Ouyang Nian entered the maintenance room, he discovered two exoskeleton armors in the middle of the room.

Upon arriving in front of the exoskeleton armor, Lorraine introduced the armor's specifications to Ouyang Nian.

"The Soldier Type 1 exoskeleton armor consists of an exoskeleton frame with armor plates, a full-coverage helmet, and an energy backpack on the back, which allows the armor to operate at full power for three hours."

"The remaining space on the back can carry a primary weapon and a tactical weapon."

"If the weapon type is changed, the back of the armor can carry two 120mm rounds or two fuel tanks."

"The front of the armor can hold 6 magazines for a total of 180 rounds of ammunition. There is an ammunition pouch and a grenade pouch on the left side of the armor. A pistol can be mounted on the right side of the armor. Ammunition for tactical weapons is mounted below the magazine pouch and on the outside of the left and right leg armor."

"The armor is made of a 3mm steel plate and a 2mm composite material, which can effectively withstand direct fire from 7.62mm full-power ammunition."

After Ouyang Nian finished processing the data, Lorraine unlocked the armor on the left side and gestured for Ouyang Nian to put it on and experience it.

After Ouyang Nian put on the armor, his tail extended out from the hole in his waist.

"Is my tail sticking out? Is there any additional armor?"

"Don't rush."

Lorraine picked up a long chainmail from the ground and slipped it over Ouyang Nian's tail.

"click"

"Alright, it's locked now. You can go run around on the aft deck and get used to it."

Ouyang Nian ran up somewhat clumsily; it was clear that the chainmail at the rear significantly hampered her movement.

After watching Ouyang Nian leave the maintenance room, Lorraine also put on his armor and started moving around in the maintenance room.

Ten minutes later, the distant naval base could be detected by optical equipment, and Cleveland began to slowly reduce the speed of the two warships.

"Lorraine, why did you stop?"

After sensing the ship slowing down, Ouyang Nian ran to the cabin and asked Lorraine what had happened.

"Looks like you're adapting well. Here, your new gun."

Lorraine handed Ouyang Nian a Gauss rifle equipped with a large drum magazine.

Ouyang Nian stood there blankly, subconsciously taking the weapon that Lorraine handed her.

"Are all our robotic dogs this powerful?"

Coming to his senses, Ouyang Nian pointed to the two twin-mounted individual missile launchers on the left and right sides of the Xuan Tie's back and asked.

"Yes, and it has also been adapted. The one on the back of the Xuan Tie was originally a quadruple man-portable missile launcher."

"So they've been changing clothes for days? And the weapon I have is brand new?"

Seeing Ouyang Nian's shocked expression, Lorraine smiled and reassured him.

"Not only the weapons in your hands, but these two suits of armor are also brand new."

"Then why didn't you call me!"

Ouyang Nian stared at Luo Lin with wide eyes.

"I started making this last night, I'll definitely do it next time, I'll definitely do it next time."

When Lorraine was explaining, she noticed that Ouyang Nian was still glaring at her, so she quickly changed her approach to soothe Ouyang Nian's temper.

"snort!"

Just after they had calmed Ouyang Nian down, the group heard a broadcast from Cleveland.

[Positioning is complete; hatch opening in preparation for jet bridge erection]

"Huh? What's going on?"

Lorraine led Ouyang Nian to the cabin door, where they waited for the corridor bridge to be completed.

"We will change ships and land. The flagship should be kept a certain distance from the dock to ensure the firing range."

"Moreover, the landing ships approach the dock backwards, allowing for a faster evacuation."

After explaining things to Ouyang Nian, the corridor bridge was completed, and the three people and six dogs quickly boarded the transport ship.

Subsequently, the jet bridge was recovered to the transport ship, and the two warships sailed side by side toward the naval base.

Lin Shu had been busy planting crops at the hydroponic farm. After sensing the changes in the flagship's speed and posture, she put down her work and went to the cockpit to find out what was going on.

Upon arriving at the driver's seat, Lin Shu did not see anyone there.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw the naval base not far away through the side porthole.

"Cleveland, where have they been?"

[Ms. Lin, the commander and his team have transferred to landing ships and are preparing to land at the forward naval base.]

Cleveland saw Lin Shu's worried expression through the camera and reassured him.

Rest assured, they are all wearing full-body exoskeleton armor and wielding new rifles, enabling them to escape unscathed even from giant zombies.

Hearing this, Lin Shu finally felt relieved and watched as the group boarded the naval base.

The transport ship chose to dock on the east side of a U-shaped bay, not far from a warehouse.

Lorraine and his group ran quickly up the slope to the dock and headed straight for the nearby warehouse.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Lorraine began issuing instructions.

"Listen, go ahead and scout. Cat, launch the hummingbird drone to inspect the warehouse interior."

After receiving Lorraine's command, Di Ting started its wheels and silently sped off.

Cat Fang then launched two drones to scout the warehouses in front and to the left, respectively.

"Platinum, on alert. Let me check the aerial footage."

After saying that, Lorraine zoomed in on the image, which now occupied half of the eyepiece screen.

"There are two warehouses directly in front, behind which is a shipyard, and to the left is a whole warehouse complex."
