You don't like the gift?\" Anna asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, this gift is great. Thank you——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to put the gun away into his pocket, someone knocked on the office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, revealing three Russians, all holding a piece of paper of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, hey, what brought you guys here?\" Xiaoyun asked curiously, with Kate and Anna caught off guard by their arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We heard you were here, so we wanted to bring you to see our new product,\" one of the Russians said in Chinese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... Well, see you guys later tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun followed the three Russians out of the room, the two girls looked back at each other for a second before Kate jumped over to Anna's seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You never said you were going to give him a gift,\" Kate complained, feeling a little jealous at how Xiaoyun treated Anna's gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I was planning to give him the gift before you guys left. I just forgot about it until now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Then where's my gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna suddenly turned back around, dug into her drawer, and put a stack of documents on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here's your gift. Remember you said you would help me translate this for 20% of my company?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could have just said you didn't have a gift for me...\" Kate murmured as she sat back down, getting ready to translate the document for Anna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiaoyun followed the three Russians all the way to their factories before going somewhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening.\" One of the Russians waved as they walked past the assembly line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening, boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking past the assembly zone, the three Russians finally stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right before Xiaoyun's eye was a giant curtain covering some sort of vehicle right below it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your new product?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of the new products. Boris, reveal the T-24 to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the Russians walked closer to the product, he pulled the giant curtain aside and threw it to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a tank?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun looked a little confused, as it looked drastically different from the tanks he had seen in movies or history books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main cannon was a lot shorter, with the tracks and the frame much smaller than he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. It's a 'light' tank based on the T-26,\" one of them replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light tank? What's the difference between that and a normal tank?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A light tank drives fast and is cheap. A normal tank is the opposite,\" Boris explained as he opened the tank hatch on top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this thing doesn't look very sturdy.\" Xiaoyun pointed out as he tapped the armor of the light tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's enough to spearhead through normal zombies. It's not meant to fight against things like tank mutants.\" The second Russian explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move out of the way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Boris yelled out from inside the tank, the tank's engine began to flex its muscles, roaring as it drove forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boris! Don't drive it too far away! Blyat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly followed the two as Boris drove the light tank straight out of the factory's back exit and into the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light tank drove in a circle and passed all the cone obstacles on the field with perfect precision, Xiaoyun was a little amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Boris was driving it perfectly, the tank's maneuverability was undoubtedly fast, as it almost reached as fast as a normal car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of engine did you guys put in this?\" Xiaoyun asked curiously as the tank finally stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just removed a truck engine and modified it a little...\" the third Russian explained as Boris began turning the main gun towards the target field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long can it drive for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough to drive the tank out of Guangdong and back.\" The second Russian responded with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiaoyun finished talking, the tank's main cannon fired, creating a loud bang sound as it shot toward the concrete wall in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, this thing has power,\" Xiaoyun commented as the ground he stood on shook a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We made sure the cannon can at least penetrate tank mutants, even though the armor itself cannot deal with tank mutants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several rounds of fire by the main cannon, the tank switched to the secondary unit, firing the built-in DP-27 that he remember once seeing in a competition show between Anna and the three Russians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what do you think, Mr.Xiaoyun? You want to order this?\" Boris asked as he finally jumped out of the tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I definitely will consider it... But this tank isn't the only thing you guys made, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, we have a lot more to show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Russians began bringing Xiaoyun into another factory before standing before another product hiding below a curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a car, right?\" Xiaoyun asked as the four wheels on the side made it a little obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it's a car. But not just any car. It's our first fully-built armored car from scratch rather than makeshift parts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the curtain was lowered, Xiaoyun was once again weirded out by the design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike any other car he had seen, it had almost no windows besides a small gap, just big enough for a pair of eyes to see what was ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivan, explain your product.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second Russian stepped up, his face full of pride as he opened the car door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the BA-60, based on the BA-64 my dad once built during the Great Patriotic War.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan paused for a second as if something flashed in his head, but he quickly resumed explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The armor is enough to block most rifle fire with just a thin layer, and the speed is almost the same as a regular car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it's not intended to run over zombies, it could, in theory, run several over before coming to a stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ivan closed the car door and began driving it to the field, the three followed it behind to the testing range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the advantage compared to T-24?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't take as much steel. And it can use a normal car engine rather than a truck one,\" Boris explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many truck engines are there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have about five hundred in the inventory right now, but we can hire more people to bring trucks back to be disassembled,\" the third Russian answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... You guys said you built this from scratch, right?\" Xiaoyun asked to make sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, from the frame to the engine... But if we were to build the engine, it's going to take a lot longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How fast can you assemble one with a pre-existing car engine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five hundred a week if all the factories focus on it and if we can get enough raw resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the third Russian answered, Xiaoyun cut the number into thirds as that scenario was practically impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed them to build other stuff, especially the rifles and ammo used by the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivan, can you fire the gun?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun expected, it was the same secondary gun as the light tank, using the DP-27.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the fire ended, Ivan began driving the car through the same obstacle, albeit with a lot more mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiaoyun didn't mind it as he could tell it was just the driver's error, not an issue with the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Xiaoyun, what do you think about this car?\" Ivan asked as he finally stepped out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's good. I'm just not sure if it should be paired with the light tank or as infantry support, though.\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them looked back with no answer, as they had only thought of making the vehicle first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think both are fine... But this car was originally designed to be a scouting car.\" Ivan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I see. That makes a lot more sense. Then it can probably be used for general purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ivan drove the car back into the factory, the three of them headed back inside, waiting for Xiaoyun's final answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But much to their disappointment, Xiaoyun didn't give them an exact figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll place a bigger order later next month. But you guys can produce five hundred BA-60 and one hundred T-24 for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As both Ivan and Boris bowed down in gratitude, Xiaoyun turned his attention to the third Russian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have anything to show?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I do. But it's a prototype right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prototype? Just like the Zeppelin last time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third Russian's face blushed a little as the plan was scrapped a long time ago, ever since the initial prototype failed horribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, speaking of prototype, what happened to your guy's planes?\" Xiaoyun suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We gave up on it... It was way too hard for us to try to figure it out, so we threw it to the pilot to figure it out himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1506,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","ecfac50cea7271c24b3923e84793ba2176536b8d04f8571aa0051e801c8266fd","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-395","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-393",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
