Beauvais Town, Military Command Headquarters.

Lin Yi was taken aback by Melanie's report.

He recalled the tanks parked by the roadside the last time he left Beauvais Town, which left a deep impression on him.

He didn't expect that so soon, they were planning a large-scale attack on Paris.

Bombard Paris?

This was undoubtedly an extremely bold decision!

But with the current military strength of Beauvais Town, can they really do it? Lin Yi was full of doubts.

Just then, the door of the conference room was abruptly opened, and a dozen officers and a few civilians streamed out from the commander's office.

All their eyes uniformly turned towards Lin Yi, who was standing by the window.

Some looked at him with friendliness and goodwill, while others with suspicion and vigilance.

Soon, a soldier strode over to Lin Yi, who remained calm and composed.

With a respectful tone, he said, "The commander invites you to the office for some coffee."

Lin Yi nodded and walked steadily into the office.

He saw that the Red Wine Commander Raphael was sitting on a chair, looking utterly exhausted.

His hair appeared slightly disheveled, and there was some dust on his uniform.

Clearly, he had been busy handling various affairs in the last couple of days and hardly had a decent rest.

"You look incredibly busy," Lin Yi said with a faint smile as he slowly leaned back into the soft sofa.

The Red Wine Commander replied helplessly, "It's been a long time since I've handled so much in such a short period."

"You're preparing to attack Paris?"

"Yes... How did you figure it out?" The Red Wine Commander had a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

Though it wasn't a secret, this guy had just arrived recently, so how did he know?

"The atmosphere in the town is completely different, and military vehicles have suddenly appeared everywhere."

"Those didn't just appear out of nowhere!" The Red Wine Commander had a proud smile on his face as he began to explain.

It turned out that two days ago, after a hard-fought battle, they successfully reclaimed a military base from the zombies.

The base was fully equipped, enough to arm thousands of soldiers. These advanced weapons and equipment greatly enhanced their strength.

Moreover, in a bunker underneath the base, a significant number of soldiers and base personnel had survived, and their joining had injected new vitality into the camp.

One could say, with the solid foundation of food provided by Lin Yi, it was sufficient to support a large number of soldiers.

On top of these excellent equipment, their camp had become very strong.

No wonder they had such strong confidence to prepare for the attack on Paris.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

It's true that Beauvais Town's strength had significantly grown, yet why would they discuss such an important matter with an outsider like himself?

Were they out of Coin and wanted to barter?

If so, did that mean he could trade for a batch of guns and ammunition from them?

This would be crucial for the Shelter that had just gone through a major battle.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi's lips slightly curved upwards, teasing the Red Wine Commander: "I see, so you're showing off your strength in front of me?"

"Haha, to be honest, we really don't have enough Coin to buy the food we need, so we're thinking of trading guns and ammunition for some supplies with you."

The Red Wine Commander finished speaking, his eyes closely watching Lin Yi's expression, dreading that he might reject the proposal.

After all, the other party not only had various unique abilities but also a powerful organization behind him, and his attitude played a decisive role in the deal.

Lin Yi frowned slightly and asked, "That guy, Gus or something, did he agree to this deal?"

"Gustav? He's already agreed and even drafted a list of things we can offer you."

As the Red Wine Commander spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi.

It detailed the types and quantities of equipment, weapons, and ammunition.

Lin Yi took the list, looked carefully, and found that most were light weapons like pistols.

He knew that pistols were not very effective against zombies, especially in large-scale battles.

"Do you have any shotguns?"

Shotguns can fire shells containing multiple bullets, releasing nine pellets at once in a conical spread, causing widespread damage.

The only downside is the need for close-range attacks, which requires the user's courage and skill.

"Yes, there's quite a few!" The Red Wine Commander clapped his hands excitedly, then quickly smiled awkwardly.

Most of his soldiers were afraid to approach zombie hordes, and those who were brave enough were all equipped with System Weapons, so they didn't need shotguns.

Lin Yi flipped through the list again and found the prices outrageously high, almost comparable to the Louvre.

He thought of Gustav's sour face and immediately understood that the other party agreed probably to fleece him.

"Forty pounds of food for one shotgun, I can't afford such a price. I can only give you thirty pounds at most."

"...Alright!" After thinking for a moment, the Red Wine Commander finally nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi then began writing the purchase list:

100 Sig Sauer MPX submachine guns, an excellent weapon for special forces in close-quarters combat, with outstanding armor-piercing capability.

140 Remington 870 shotguns, a control weapon in close-range encounters, with extremely powerful lethality.

Additionally, there were —

30,000 rounds of 9mm bullets, 10,000 rounds of ammunition for Remington shotguns, and various related small items.

After calculating all the items, the Red Wine Commander complained slightly, "It's a total of 50,000 Coins. Hmm... Are you sure you don't want to buy a bit more?"

"If these 'toys' were better, I would buy more. By the way, how much food do you want this time?"

"Twice as much as last time."

"Hmm..."

"Boss, Chen Youyou says it will take us an hour to prepare all the potatoes and vegetables."

Melanie, being very astute, had already inquired about the food preparation progress with Chen Youyou before the negotiation began.

Lin Yi smiled and looked at the Red Wine Commander: "Deal, but before that, I'd like to enjoy a lunch, and then I'll go check out the guns."

"Lunch is in half an hour. How about I take you to an interesting place for a stroll first, what do you think?"

The Red Wine Commander enthusiastically suggested, seemingly having some agenda in mind.

Lin Yi laughed and nodded.

Five minutes later, the commander personally drove a jeep, taking Lin Yi slowly into the city.

Along the way, the busy figures of soldiers could be seen everywhere, evidently gearing up for the impending battle.

The jeep paused briefly at a soldier-guarded checkpoint before smoothly passing through.

They arrived at the destination, an abandoned farm.

As they approached the farm, Lin Yi wrinkled his brow; the air was thick with a strong scent of blood, prompting him to survey the surrounding buildings.

The Red Wine Commander, smiling, explained to Lin Yi—

This used to be a small meat processing plant.

When the apocalypse struck, none of the cattle escaped the zombies and were eaten clean.

Now, this building still processes meat, except the subject is no longer cattle...

But some interesting things!
