He took two steps in three and came to the door. He reached out with both hands from afar, smiling from ear to ear, "Oh my! Welcome leaders from the troops. Welcome to our Yanshan Town. You have come to save us common people from dire straits. On behalf of all the survivors here, I express our heartfelt welcome and sincere gratitude!"
His attitude was extremely enthusiastic, but the middle-aged man opposite had an extremely cold expression on his face.
He completely ignored Wang Dajiang's outstretched hands and said coldly, "Who are you?"
Wang Dajiang was stunned for a moment, but thinking of how soldiers were the bosses in this day and age, he continued smiling and introduced himself, "I'm the town's publicity committee member. My name is Wang Dajiang. I've been working for 12 years. I went to university in..."
"We're not looking for you," the man opposite seemed a little impatient.
"I know, I know. You're looking for Xiao Xiao right? He's upstairs. I'll go get him right now. What's wrong with this Xiao Xiao? When the leaders arrive, why doesn't he come down quicker? Still young!"
Just as he was about to turn around to call Xiao Fan, others in the room had already notified Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan slowly came downstairs at this time and arrived at the door.
Before Wang Dajiang could say anything, suddenly, the dozen or so fully armed soldiers, including the man who looked like the leader, came to attention and saluted!
"Engineer Ai Yin, reporting to Commander!"
The soldiers behind also reported one by one. Even the three military dogs that had just arrived were now squatting in a row, with solemn looks on their dog faces, as if on a pilgrimage.
The scene before him completely overturned Wang Dajiang's understanding.
So this Xiao Fan is really a commander!
Moreover, what a high-ranking commander is he that even dogs recognize him?
Xiao Fan ignored Wang Dajiang beside him and took all the Red Alert soldiers upstairs.
With the addition of thirteen Red Alert soldiers this time, Xiao Fan now had 27 people under him. There were only three vacancies left before reaching a full platoon.
Next, Xiao Fan planned to accumulate another 3,000 gold to build radar.
With radar, he would be able to grasp the surrounding situation clearly. This was the key to troop maneuvers, unlike the current small radars that could only detect out to 50 meters. That range was only a bit useful indoors, but was not as good as eyesight in open areas.
Xiao Fan gave himself three days.
He would use three days to clear the zombies in Yanshan Town. He could clear as many as he could in these three days. After the bullet refresh at noon three days later, he would take the troops to Chishui County Town.
Starting today, he had to start attacking the zombies. Not only did the troops need to take action, but the survivors also had to cooperate with him. The troops were responsible for fighting while the survivors were responsible for bringing resources back. He didn't want to waste any more manpower on these things.
He was clear on the situation with the soldiers and military dogs. Now he turned his gaze to Engineer Ai Yin.
"Tell me about your situation."
"Commander, I am fluent in multiple languages and can repair bridges, railways and various mechanical vehicles. I also specialize in dismantling, blasting and other special operations. More importantly, I have another skill - research and development. When the Commander establishes the three services' combat experiment room, or builds base vehicles in reality, engineers will be needed to do the work."
Xiao Fan nodded frequently as he listened. Although the engineer's combat power was not strong at the moment, looking at the pistol around his waist, his fighting ability was estimated to be similar to his own, an engineer's value had never been reflected in combat power.
Science and technology were the first productive forces. Just the research and development skill alone was an advantage that others could not match.
For this zombie clearance and rescue operation, he had also decided to take Ai Yin along. He might be very useful.
"Okay, Xu Qiang, go out and scout the zombie situation north of town immediately. At the same time, start assigning tasks to let the survivors prepare to set off with the team. All survivors between the ages of 14 and 55 must follow along to collect resources, regardless of gender."
"Understood!"
All Red Alert units accepted the order and immediately went to make arrangements.
About ten minutes later, everything was ready.
The survivors were not dissatisfied either. Now they all relied on Xiao Fan to survive. At the very least, Xiao Fan was much better to them than Feng Zhenxiang. Xiao Fan would not deliberately exploit them, and the food had also improved a lot. In this day and age, this was already very rare.
Soon Xu Qiang came back to report on the situation north of town.
According to his rough estimate, there were between 30,000 to 40,000 zombies in the town.
The zombies were basically distributed around the meteorite crater at the town government building. Although no more energy could be sensed from that crater now, the past zombies still instinctively gathered there. No survivors were seen along the way either. It was unclear whether there were mutated zombies, as the horde was too big for Xu Qiang to get too close.
The best place to gather the zombies was at the crossroads in the town center. They could rely on the nearby buildings to fight. It should produce a decent effect.
"Okay, let's do that. Set off now and head to the crossroads."
The group got on the vehicles. The nearly 100 survivors who set out boarded the vehicles as well, and they all arrived at the crossroads together.
About 100 meters from the crossroads, the vehicles stopped to avoid startling the distant horde with the sound.
The Red Alert soldiers swiftly occupied the 2-story buildings on the left and right sides of the intersection, a hotel and a supermarket respectively.
Over a dozen people went up each building, calling out to each other from across the street.
Only the reconnaissance soldier Xu Qiang and two military dogs did not go up into the buildings. They had other tasks.
Xu Qiang's task was to lead the survivors. When the zombie horde was attracted to the intersection, they would circle around to places with fewer zombies and start collecting resources.
At 1 pm, the battle began.
A military dog ran to the edge of the horde, bit and killed a zombie, then immediately ran back. The zombies behind followed after it.
One military dog could not attract too many zombies at once. Only about a thousand zombies followed behind it this time. The farther zombies simply did not notice it at all.
These thousand were enough to keep Xiao Fan's side busy for a while. They had come at just the right amount.
Upstairs in the supermarket, Xiao Fan watched the oncoming zombie horde closely.
One of the zombies was already able to run. It was a female zombie showing signs of mutation.
When they had left the deep sea back then, among so many zombies, Xiao Fan had only seen two with signs of mutation. He didn't expect a mutated one to show up so easily now after just a little luring.
"Bai Xiaochuan!"
"Here!"
Sniper Bai Xiaochuan immediately came over.
"Take out that mutated one. Don't shoot the ordinary zombies."
"Understood!"
Bai Xiaochuan immediately went to the window. He raised his sniper rifle, took aim, and fired.
With a muffled bang, the leading female zombie fell headlong to the ground.
A few zombies around it stopped and began devouring its flesh and blood, as if the blood and flesh were some delicacy.
Most of the zombies could not get to it. They could only follow the horde and swarm murderously towards the crossroads.
When the horde entered firing range, Xiao Fan immediately ordered to open fire.
Intense gunfire sounded in the town center. The battle to clear Yanshan Town had finally begun!

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange?
