Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse With My Military System

After finishing his meeting with Maria Santos, Richard went straight back to the command center. He was glad to have the camp politics sorted out. His main concern was preparing for the threat posed by Lin Feng, not managing day-to-day camp affairs.

As he entered, Mark came up to him. "How did it go with Maria Santos?" he asked.

"Good," Richard replied. "We agreed that Blackwatch will fully govern the camp. The council will be part of our administrative team but under our direction."

"That should simplify things," Mark noted.

"Yeah," Richard said, checking the screens for updates on their military operations. "We need to focus on bigger threats, like Lin Feng. We can't get bogged down in camp politics."

"Right," Mark agreed. "Speaking of that, the nuclear missiles are primed and ready. With your order, we can launch those missiles to the target location."

Richard checked his latest stats.

He took note of these stats as he knew it would change after he authorized the launch. Letting out a hum of satisfaction, Richard flickered his gaze to Mark and then nodded.

"Proceed with the launch." 

"Roger that. Sit back and relax and let the money and experience points flowing," Mark said.

Richard, seated comfortably, kept his eyes fixed on the screens, each one providing a different angle of the launchpad. His gaze briefly shifted to the status screen displaying his stats, confirming that the gold and experience capsules were indeed active. 

As the countdown for the missile launch commenced, Richard felt a surge of adrenaline. "Level 50, here I come."

***

Three hours later, Richard launched ten nuclear missiles targeting cities all around the world. The last missile struck Dubai and then a notification that he had been patiently waiting popped up before him.

[Congratulations! Your level has risen to 50.]

[New features unlocked! Tap to see more information.]

Richard hummed as he wondered what the new features were. He tapped the holographic icon and then a description of the new features popped up in front of him. The most notable among them was the troop summoning capability.

[New Feature: Enhanced Soldier Summoning]

Previously, your level dictated the number of troops you could summon, with 50 troops per level. This limitation is now removed.

You can now purchase extensions in the shop tab to increase the number of troops you can summon beyond the base amount.

Each extension purchased allows for an additional 100 troops to be summoned.

Pricing for each extension will increase progressively.

Richard's eyes narrowed as he read the description. This new feature was a game-changer. It meant that he wasn't just confined to summoning a fixed number of troops based on his level. Now, with enough gold, he could potentially summon a significantly larger army, giving him a massive strategic advantage.

He quickly navigated to the shop tab to check the pricing for the extensions

Richard examined the pricing structure for the soldier summoning extensions in the shop tab:

First Extension (100 soldiers): 10,000,000 gold coins

Second Extension (100 soldiers): 20,000,000 gold coins

Third Extension (100 soldiers): 35,000,000 gold coins

Fourth Extension (100 soldiers): 60,000,000 gold coins

Fifth Extension (100 soldiers): 80,000,000 gold coins

The first few extensions were reasonably priced, but as expected, the cost increased steeply for each subsequent purchase. No actually, all of them are reasonably priced. Because if this feature wasn't introduced, then he'll have to wait another level to get an additional 50 spaces. And leveling up, especially on his level where he literally has to nuke cities from all around the world, is getting harder and harder.

With a nod to himself, he decided to purchase the first three extensions. This investment would add 300 soldiers to his summoning capacity, significantly boosting his army without severely impacting his gold reserves. He executed the purchase, and his gold balance was updated instantly.

[Updated Gold Balance: 35,616,387,835]

He'll fill the vacant numbers later. He checked the shop tab and searched for new times. One that caught his attention was the Titan's Guard Mark II. 

He read the description of the product.

[Titan's Guard Mark II - Advanced Combat Suit]

Richard whistled at the cost. It was a lot more expensive compared to the Titan's Guard which was bought for only 30,000,000 gold coins. Surely, the way the pricing works in his system is unpredictable. Some were cheap and others exorbitantly priced, but considering the advanced features of the Titan's Guard Mark II, it seemed worth it.

Looks like he and Graves would have new toys. 

Richard bought two and the items were transferred to his inventory.
