Xiao Fan's radar map had a diameter of one kilometer, just enough to completely cover this small village, and could clearly see the movements of that group of survivors.
The other side had about 30 people, occupying several houses.
These 30 people were now divided into two parts, with more than 10 people staying in the houses, and more than 20 others moving in his direction, apparently coming by vehicle.
Xiao Fan immediately issued an order: "Everyone be on guard, someone is coming."
Warriors immediately began to move, occupying high ground, preparing to deal with the incoming people.
The small village was small, and the cars arrived in front within two minutes.
Squeak squeak!
The brakes sounded, and four or five SUV off-road vehicles stopped in front of Xiao Fan and the others.
This is how people drive in the apocalypse. They drift if they can drift, do whatever is cool. Although there are no 4S stores for maintenance now, there are plenty of cars. If one breaks down, just go to the highway and drive another one.
These off-road vehicles were also some luxury cars. After stopping, more than 20 people got off the cars.
After getting off the car, the originally spirited people were stunned.
What did they see?
Several military vehicles were parked there, warriors in camouflage uniforms and fully armed, pointing the dark muzzles of guns at them from all directions.
These people were dumbfounded at once.
The apocalypse had begun for two months, and people had almost completely forgotten the previous social order.
With no moral or legal restraints, everyone began to act unscrupulously, believing there was nothing left to fear.
But in fact, as soon as they faced the regular army, the fear that had been deeply hidden in people's bones was immediately reawakened.
The man in front, holding an automatic rifle, immediately became tongue-tied in the face of Xiao Fan's powerful lineup.
"This, this..... sir, commander?"
Xiao Fan's eyes swept over these people and he snorted coldly, "What are you doing?"
Upon hearing the question, the young man in front couldn't help but squeeze his legs together and stood ramrod straight to answer, "We are from Zhao Village Base, my name is Zhao Dashan."
Xiao Fan remembered this name.
When he first arrived in Yan Yun City and met Han Dongyang, Han Dongyang had introduced the distribution of forces in Yan Yun City.
The people Han Dongyang introduced at the time all had considerable influence, including Zhao Dashan from Zhao Village.
But Xiao Fan didn't expect Zhao Dashan to be such a simple man. It seemed he was a farmer before, and didn't have the sinister thoughts that many people had in the apocalypse.
Xiao Fan's face also softened a little, "I am Xiao Fan from Yanshan Town."
"Ah! You are Xiao Fan?"
Zhao Dashan's eyes lit up at once. "I know you. Your people said on the radio that you wanted to exchange supplies for gold, silver and jewelry. We came this time to participate in the trading conference. You are one of the main trading targets!"
"Oh, you guys came to attend the trading conference too? How much gold and silver did you prepare?"
Xiao Fan was also happy. If he could get a sum of gold and silver now, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial to him.
"We prepared a lot. All the gold, silver and jewelry of everyone in our place, as well as some collected over time, I brought it all here. We can trade right now....."
Speaking to here, Zhao Dashan paused, "Commander Xiao, are you guys the regular army?"
Xiao Fan looked at the Red Guards soldiers behind him and answered, "Yes and no. My men are all soldiers, but of course things are different now than they used to be."
Zhao Dashan seemed to understand and nodded. He also knew that things were different now than before. Even if they were the regular army, it was impossible to control all armed forces as in the past.
But since the other party were soldiers, the transaction should be guaranteed, which reassured him.
He immediately said to the people behind him, "Go, bring all our gold and silver, I want to trade with Commander Xiao."
Soon someone drove over with a car and took out a box from the car.
Judging by the way the box was carried, it seemed a bit heavy.
Zhao Dashan put the box in front of Xiao Fan, "Commander Xiao, this is all the gold and silver I collected. Take a look."
Xiao Fan opened the box and his eyes lit up immediately.
Inside were all kinds of jewelry, gold rings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, silver bracelets, silver necklaces, white gold earrings, white gold necklaces, ruby pendants, sapphire pendants, diamond rings, pearl necklaces, jade bracelets, and more, filling up a whole box, weighing over 20 kilograms!
However, Xiao Fan's eyes were very discerning. He soon picked out a few fakes in it.
Zhao Dashan was also a little embarrassed that Xiao Fan picked out the fakes, "Brother Xiao, this really wasn't intentional. The key is we can't tell which ones are real and which are fake either."
"It's okay, occasionally having some fakes is very normal. What supplies did you want to trade for?"
"Really?" Zhao Dashan's eyes lit up.
In his opinion, gold and silver were completely useless things in this world now, not as practical as exchanging some food. He had come with a try-my-luck attitude and didn't expect he could really trade for supplies.
"Yes."
"That's great. I want to exchange for some cooking oil, best if there are also some guns and ammunition. Now guns are the most important thing in this world. Of course, if there is mutant beast meat, give us 200 catties..... No, 100 catties will do."
Xiao Fan nodded. These were not problems.
He had food and mutant beast meat, and even quite a few guns, both from Feng Zhenxiang and Smith's places, which came in handy now.
Xiao Fan's transactions were priced. Soon the two sides reached a deal.
Xiao Fan gave out 200 catties of bean oil, two pistols and two rifles, and 50 bullets.
Then there was the mutant beast meat. Xiao Fan gave 200 catties.
On this trip to the zoo, Xiao Fan had obtained over 50,000 catties of mutant beast meat. Giving out 200 catties was barely a drizzle.
Moreover, the transaction was proportional. This was also announced by Xiao Fan on the radio, and this was what Zhao Dashan deserved. Xiao Fan would not skimp on these details with others.
Receiving so many supplies made Zhao Dashan very excited. He immediately ordered his men to organize a group of people to transport these supplies back to Zhao Village now.
He shook Xiao Fan's hand excitedly, "Commander Xiao, I really want to thank you so much. This time going to the trading market, I will just stick with you and do whatever you ask me to do!"
Zhao Dashan was not a fool either. In this short time, he had felt Xiao Fan's strength.
Just that armored vehicle alone was enough to dispel any contempt and unrealistic fantasies.
His mind was also secretly guessing Xiao Fan's identity, but no matter how he looked at it, Xiao Fan was someone he could only look up to.
Since this was the case, hugging the other's thigh in advance might bring unexpected benefits.
Xiao Fan nodded slightly, "Sticking with me is the wrong way to put it, let's cooperate with each other."
After saying that, he turned around and went back inside, because he couldn't wait to convert the funds.

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
