The sound of guns had continued in Yanshan Town for three days.
In the three days, Xiao Fan had quite a bit of funds credited to his account every day.
On the first day, Xiao Fan's troops eliminated 2,700 zombies and earned 3,200 gold.
Xiao Fan did not keep these funds for himself, but continued to enhance his troops, and produced another two squads of soldiers.
On the second day, 3,100 zombies were eliminated, earning 4,050 gold.
Xiao Fan supplemented another squad of soldiers and some special forces, including two flamethrower soldiers. During large-scale battles, flamethrower soldiers can play a huge role.
On the third day, 3,900 zombies were eliminated, earning 5,100 gold!
With these funds, Xiao Fan first produced a VP22 wheeled armored personnel carrier.
The cost of this vehicle was 3,000 gold. There were two drivers responsible for the driving compartment.
There were 16 passengers in the carriage. The entire vehicle was armored, capable of withstanding firearms and small-caliber machine guns. It was equipped with bulletproof glass, an anti-mine armor plate on the bottom, and sixteen gun ports that the personnel inside could adjust the angle to fire outwards.
Xiao Fan had wanted a practical combat vehicle for a long time, but had always been under financial pressure without being able to produce one.
Now that he could finally manufacture it, Xiao Fan immediately did.
With the remaining funds, Xiao Fan spent another 1,000 gold to produce a canteen truck, and another 1,000 gold to produce five mess hall soldiers.
Now the number of troops was increasing, and relying solely on the Lin sisters to cook was no longer sufficient. The production of the mess squad became a necessity.
The head chef of the mess squad was called Wang Chen. He was proficient in Sichuan and Hunan cuisine. The other mess soldiers were proficient in northern cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Shandong cuisine, covering a wide range that could satisfy everyone's taste needs.
Over the past three days, the number of Xiao Fan's troops had also risen to a full 100 people!
He was at most three days away from reaching the 140 people required for a full company.
Until the morning of the fourth day, just as Xiao Fan was about to continue leading his troops to encircle and suppress zombies, something changed.
"Report to the Commander, supply boxes found!"
"Bring them back immediately!" Xiao Fan was very excited, as it had been some time since he had seen supply boxes.
Xu Qiang took people to retrieve the supply boxes. The communications soldier also came to report.
"Report to the Commander, new information was received on the radio!"
"Speak!"
"Many leaders in Yan Yun City have agreed to hold a trading conference at the Agricultural Machinery Market base in three days. Should we participate?"
"Oh! Trading conference?"
Xiao Fan stroked his chin slightly. He could imagine that if he participated, he might encounter Chen Fudong or Lu Wang.
Although they had not officially torn their faces apart, they were at odds. Things might turn hostile if they met.
But Xiao Fan was not afraid. Let alone his 100 soldiers, just the words "trading conference" were enough to attract him there.
He could collect other supplies by himself, but it was very tricky to collect precious metals. If he could obtain some through trade, that would be good.
He quickly made up his mind and told the communications soldier, "Tell them on the radio that I, Xiao Fan of Yanshan Town, need a lot of gold and silver. If anyone has goods to bring to the trading conference, I can exchange them for other supplies, hmm... including mutant beast meat!"
Nearly two months had passed since the beginning of the apocalypse, so the secret of mutant beast meat was probably not a secret anymore. Xiao Fan believed that such a resource would be desperately lacking for anyone, since not everyone had the strength and luck to rampage through the zoo.
So throwing out this bargaining chip would attract the attention of any leader.
"Understood!"
The communications soldier immediately broadcasted the message according to Xiao Fan's order.
Meanwhile, Xiao Fan calculated the departure time. It was 150 kilometers from Yanshan Town to the Agricultural Machinery Market base. Leaving one day in advance should allow them to arrive on time.
Looking at the funds on hand, there was still over 1,000 gold left. Xiao Fan decided to increase his protection a bit more.
He spent 1,000 gold to produce two more scouts.
After such a long time of experience, Xu Qiang and Shen Guangming could basically meet the requirements to lead a team. Xiao Fan decided to appoint them as platoon leaders.
With no versatile scout protecting him now, he always felt unsafe.
This time, Xiao Fan produced a male scout and a female scout.
A few minutes later, two scouts appeared.
"Scout Shen Ruihui, reporting to Commander!"
"Scout Xue Ninger, reporting to Commander!"
Shen Ruihui was a young man of around 20, with bright eyes, looking clever.
And Xue Ninger was a very beautiful girl with a great figure. Standing there in military uniform, she was hard to look away from.
"Starting today, you two are my personal bodyguards, responsible for protecting my safety."
"Commander, please be assured, we will complete the mission!"
The two scouts answered in unison, extremely loyal.
At this time, Scout Xu Qiang also came back.
"Commander, I found the supply box."
A wooden box was placed in front of Xiao Fan. He excitedly went over to open it.
"Congratulations Commander for obtaining the blueprint for base vehicle construction!"
When Annie's prompt sounded, Xiao Fan was so excited he almost jumped up.
He really didn't expect to obtain the base vehicle blueprint so soon. It was known that the most important thing about Red Alert was to have a development base, and without the base vehicle, everything would just be empty talk.
He immediately opened the blueprint. There was a lot of complicated text and formulas that Xiao Fan could not understand at all.
But part of it was understandable.
"Base vehicle construction requirements: 100 tons of steel! 300 tons of iron! 30 tons of aluminum! 30 tons of rubber! Requires machine tools and other tools, 10 engineers, 30 combat engineers. With all conditions ready, completion takes one month."
Xiao Fan froze for a moment. He could collect and prepare the other items, but he didn't have any combat engineers!
Upon inquiry, Annie immediately gave a prompt.
"Commander, combat engineers belong to the battalion unit establishment. Please upgrade as soon as possible!"
Xiao Fan immediately checked the conditions for upgrading to battalion commander, which required a full company and 50,000 gold.
After calculating Yanshan Town’s situation, there were still over 20,000 zombies left. There was no way he could meet the upgrade conditions here.
It looked like going to the Agricultural Machinery Market to participate in the trading conference was imperative.
"All troops mobilize to encircle and suppress zombies! Military reorganization tomorrow!"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
