TWD:Zombie System

Three days had passed since we arrived at The Quan Resort.

In that time, we had turned a luxury paradise into the early stages of a fortified stronghold. All the weapons and gear I had ordered had arrived on time—everything from assault rifles and sniper rifles to tactical armor, radios, and advanced surveillance drones.

The only thing missing… were the vehicles.

That changed by late afternoon.

A new convoy rolled in—trailers, flatbeds, and military transports hauling everything we needed to fully mobilize our forces.

Max and Troy met with me in the command room on the third floor of the central resort building, overlooking the beach.

Both stood with digital reports in hand.

"All orders have been delivered, sir," Max said. "Vehicles, aircraft, generators, and supplies. We've tallied the total expenditures."

Troy added, "This is everything we've acquired."

Aircraft and Helicopters:

10 UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopters – Main tactical transport helicopters for personnel and quick-response missions. Each can carry up to 11 soldiers, equipped with side mounts for light machine guns.

2 CH-47 Chinooks – Heavy-lift helicopters for cargo, equipment, and even vehicles. Capable of lifting over 10 tons of gear per flight.

5 AH-1Z Viper Attack Helicopters – Armed with twin 20mm cannons and missile pods. These are our air-defense and deterrent weapons.

2 Gulfstream G650 – Long-range private jet for high-speed emergency evacuation or VIP operations. Luxurious, fast, and fitted with internal communication systems.

2 C-130 Hercules Planes – Massive military cargo planes. They can move entire truckloads of supplies and troops, and land on rough terrain.

2 MQ-9 Reaper Drones – Armed surveillance drones. We now have aerial recon capabilities and long-distance strike potential if needed.

Sea Transport (Boats and Yachts):

1 90-Foot Luxury Yacht – Converted for long-term use, fitted with backup communications, fuel reserves, and onboard living quarters. Serves as a sea base and escape option.

4 Medium Fishing Boats – Modified with reinforced hulls and utility storage. Ideal for coastal supply runs and resource gathering.

3 Speedboats – Fast and maneuverable. Perfect for sea patrol and fast deployment to nearby islands or shoreline missions.

Land Vehicles:

5 Armored Humvees – Combat-ready with turret mounts. Ideal for convoys and high-risk missions.

3 MRAPs (Mine-Resistant Vehicles) – High-survivability troop carriers. Transport teams safely across unstable areas.

10 Polaris DAGOR Tactical Buggies – Fast, off-road light assault vehicles. Useful for scouting and hit-and-run missions.

6 Reinforced Toyota Hilux Trucks – Rugged, dependable workhorses for supply transport and utility use.

3 Armored Transport Trucks (Cash-in-Transit Vans) – Secured for moving high-value resources like medicine and ammunition.

2 Mobile Command Vans – Equipped with satellite uplinks, comm towers, and multi-monitor stations.

10 ATVs & Dirt Bikes – For messengers, scouts, and rapid response teams.

Infrastructure and Supplies:

150,000 rounds of various ammo

Over 30 fuel drums

Tons of food supplies (freeze-dried, canned, vacuum-sealed)

Massive water reserves and filtration systems

Solar panels covering key rooftops

25 Industrial-grade backup generators

Over 100 gas masks with filters

80 military-grade two-way radios

Medical stockpiles equivalent to a fully equipped field hospital

Thanks to the arrival of professional builders, engineers, and heavy equipment operators from my other properties:

A 10-meter-high concrete-reinforced wall is nearly complete, stretching around the main perimeter.

A massive steel-reinforced gate serves as the only entrance point.

Watchtowers are being installed at every corner with 24/7 rotating shifts.

Floodlights and motion sensors have already been integrated.

A growing barracks system is being constructed for the soldiers.

Troy's 80-man combat unit has now joined my other trained personnel, and with the arrival of more families—doctors, nurses, mechanics, farmers, and skilled workers—our current population has swelled to 5,000 people.

Everyone was screened, assigned roles, and given identification.

Total Expenditure So Far:

Max gave me the final breakdown:

Weapons and Ammo: $40 million

Vehicles (Land, Sea, Air): $130 million

Supplies (Food, Fuel, Medical, Solar, Radios): $65 million

Infrastructure and Construction Costs: $45 million

Personnel, Salaries, Recruitment: $20 million

Grand Total: $300 million (everything I liquidated).

I still had one task left before the world fell apart completely—rescue the orphanages I built and supported across Florida. Dozens of children I had personally protected over the years were scattered across cities and towns, soon to be in danger.

And I wasn't going to leave them behind.

With security in place, construction underway, and supplies distributed, it was time to think long-term.

The stockpiles would keep us alive for a few years, but I wasn't content to depend solely on stored food. We needed self-sustaining systems. Systems that would feed thousands—every day, every week, every month.

So I gave the order.

I called in the farmers and agricultural workers who had arrived from across Florida—men and women with generations of experience in soil, crops, and seasons. I instructed them to begin land preparation immediately on the southern side of the resort, near one of the five main buildings—now repurposed as living quarters for our workers and their families.

The southern portion of the property had open, fertile ground that sloped gently toward the coastline. With basic leveling, fencing, and irrigation, it became our designated farmland and livestock zone.

The seeds I had ordered were carefully selected for fast growth, nutritional value, and long-term sustainability. Every seed came from high-yield, pest-resistant stock, designed to thrive in Florida's subtropical climate.

Here's what we planted:

Vegetables:

Lettuce – Quick to grow, nutritious, and perfect for repeated harvesting.

Spinach – Iron-rich and harvestable within 30–40 days.

Tomatoes – Ideal for both raw consumption and cooking, supported with trellises.

Carrots – Root crops with good storage life.

Cabbage – Easy to grow, hearty, and fills stomachs.

Bell Peppers & Chili Peppers – For vitamins and variety.

Sweet Potatoes – Dense calories and relatively drought-resistant.

Corn – For food, animal feed, and future ethanol fuel production.

Fruits:

Banana trees – Planted in large plots along the warmer patches of soil.

Papayas – Fast-growing fruit trees with minimal maintenance.

Mangoes and Guavas – Hardy tropical trees that could flourish within a year or two.

Strawberries – For smaller-scale production and morale-boosting comfort food.

Grains & Legumes:

Rice paddies – Near the artificial canal built by the engineers.

Peanuts and beans – Protein-rich and good nitrogen fixers for the soil.

Next, I had Max oversee the arrival of hundreds of animals, organized into enclosed zones:

Horses:

100 strong, mixed-breed horses—ranging from workhorses to lighter riding breeds.

Stored with enough stockpiled oats, hay, and feed to last two years.

These would serve as transport alternatives, mounted scouts, or cargo pullers in case of fuel loss.

Poultry:

Thousands of chickens, housed in spacious, enclosed coops.

Eggs would become our primary renewable protein source.

Chicken manure would also be used as natural fertilizer.

Over 1,500 pigs for meat, breeding, and resource exchange.

Nearly 1,000 cows, divided into:

Dairy cows for milk, butter, and cheese.

Beef cattle for long-term meat supply.

Dedicated veterinarians and livestock handlers had already begun health checks, rotational grazing planning, and manure compost systems to fuel the farmland.

The southern section of the property was now divided into:

Crop Fields – Divided by produce type, protected with fencing and drip irrigation lines.

Livestock Pens – Pigs and cows were kept in reinforced steel-and-wood paddocks, maintained by rotating workers.

Stables – A well-ventilated stable for the horses, with adjoining tack rooms and feeding stations.

Chicken Coops – Layered wooden structures raised off the ground with protection from raccoons or scavengers.

Grain Silos and Barns – For storage, animal feed, tools, and emergency reserves.

Watchtowers had already been placed around the southern border, and patrols now guarded it 24/7.

Despite all this, none of the agricultural operations were included in the $300 million spent.

I had personally funded these additions using untouched accounts set aside specifically for long-term sustainability.

Now, with:

Over 5,000 people,

A full-fledged armed defense force,

Stockpiles of food, fuel, and weapons,

Self-sustaining agriculture and livestock,

And defensive walls nearing completion,

I am now ready.
