Ye Fan’s troops went out every two days, and each ti they could wipe out around a hundred thousand zombies.
Under such efficiency, the zombie hordes in Qinghe were decreasing daily.
It had been over ten days since his first outing.
With another week to go, he estimated he could lead his army into Qinghe.
By then, all the resources in the county would be in his grasp.
The number of usable resources in a small city with a population of three to four million was simply incalculable.
Not to ntion vehicles and steel; even the grain was plentiful.
Because of the cold northern weather, the grain hadn’t spoiled since winter set in, and could still be consud once brought back.
As for gold, Ye Fan had thoroughly investigated it; there were at least a dozen gold shops in all of Qinghe Town.
Conservatively estimated, each could bring in a monetary gain of two hundred thousand, totaling at least two million this wave.
Possibly even more.
With two to three million in his pocket, Ye Fan could construct all the existing buildings and still have a significant surplus. Unlocking new buildings or expanding his forces would both be effortless.
So, Ye Fan had been in high spirits these past few days, smiling wherever he went.
After defeating the zombies yesterday, Ye Fan’s funds had reached four hundred thousand.
Today, he constructed two buildings.
One was a battlefield hospital for the Dawn Army, and the other was a military supply warehouse.
Spending fifteen thousand gold, he felt no pressure.
The establishnt of the battlefield hospital greatly alleviated the dical pressure on the base.
Though the previous wounded had mostly been treated, it kept Ye Fan busy for several days, and the dics were run off their feet.
This ti, with the hospital set up, it provided the residents of Dawn City with a huge sense of security.
The hospital was built at the side gate of the core area, a gate that wasn’t often used, surrounded by five-ter-high walls creating a small zone.
From now on, residents of Dawn City could enter through the side gate if they fell ill.
The dical officer Xiao Jing was appointed the director, with He Xiaoting as the deputy director, making Ye Fan feel a bit unaccustod with two fewer people by his side.
The construction of the military supply warehouse also provided the Dawn Army with ample logistical support.
The materials collected during this ti were piling up everywhere in the core area, severely affecting traffic.
Now with the warehouse, things were better; it had the sa capacity as the Commander’s Backpack, with the actual space of fifty thousand cubic ters within a five thousand cubic ter warehouse, allowing for vast storage.
Everything collected, such as steel, building materials, and grain, was stored in the warehouse, making the core area tidy again.
Today was a rest day, and finding nothing to do, Ye Fan happily walked out of the core area.
He wanted to take a look around the Main City District; strolling in his city often filled him with a sense of satisfaction.
However, Ye Fan did not appear as his usual self; he wore an ordinary down jacket with a black hat covering his face, both to disguise and keep warm.
Many survivors dressed like this now, so walking on the streets, no one could recognize him as Ye Fan.
His only guard was Zhuge Yunxue, who dressed similarly to Ye Fan. Xiaotian the Big Fatty and the others were left behind because the city was very safe. Though the survivors didn’t know his identity, the Red Alert Warriors did, and the soldiers in the watchtowers could provide protection anyti.
The two of them strolled leisurely to the trading market.
The Dawn Restaurant and the trading market were two major projects of the Dawn Army. The restaurant was to be built as a tower, but that would not be completed until next year as it was already October when he arrived at Kao Mountain Farm.
However, the trading market was almost complete.
Though still a bit rudintary, the main structure was finished, and many stalls were set up here.
In recent days, the Adventurer Squads had achieved initial success in collecting materials and searching for survivors.
Thanks to the Dawn Army’s War Hawks.
War Hawks would report back whenever they discovered survivors, which made the searches very targeted.
The logistics departnt sold the approximate locations of survivors to the searching Adventurer Squads, who then found the survivors and returned to exchange for contribution points, creating a win-win situation.
On average, about a hundred people arrived in Dawn City daily, making the place increasingly bustling.
Especially the Inner City District, which was practically worth its weight in gold.
Neither the houses in the Inner City District nor those in the Outer City District belonged to the individual survivors.
These temporary mobile hos were only provisional and would be torn down by next year.
People’s contribution points could only be used to apply to purchase future apartnts.
But most people didn’t have enough contribution points to use, especially those who weren’t Evolvers, so they had to resort to other ans to survive, such as trading.
Stalls in the trading market were incredibly popular, sold out as soon as sales opened.
Even though the prices had increased, they couldn’t curb people’s buying enthusiasm.
The early buyers of stalls made a profit; so didn’t even apply for housing but secured a stall instead, showing their foresight and business acun.
Ye Fan wandered the trading market streets, which resembled a street food fair.
Co next year, this place would beco a housing area, the trading market would turn into a trading district, but the first floors would remain the most expensive.
The goods in trade were diverse.
So were selling cabbage.
So were selling condints.
So displayed lots of grain.
Others took out computers, water heaters, and many such items from the past, selling them relatively cheaply.
Nowadays, everyone’s strapped for cash, and seldom does anyone spend their spare contribution points on less practical things.
There are two ways to trade, the first being to purchase with contribution points.
However, this thod is quite troubleso, requiring staff to manage and oversee the transaction.
Moreover, people regard their contribution points as precious and are generally reluctant to trade them.
The second trading thod is bartering.
You exchange an agreed amount of your things for my things, and that’s that once both parties co to an agreent.
Most of the transactions currently occur in the second manner.
Ye Fan strolled along the street, finding everything around him quite interesting.
He quickly discovered that those participating in the trade were not just people from Dawn City.
Since it wasn’t warti, Dawn City kept its gates open, allowing survivors from nearby bases to co and trade freely.
They could rent temporary booths by paying a specific amount of materials.
As he wandered around, a commotion suddenly ca from ahead.
Ye Fan looked up and saw a truck coming along the street.
Once the truck stopped, many people swiftly got off, rented a temporary stall, and set up a small market.
A giant poster was put up, astonishingly featuring a celebrity.
Ye Fan’s eyes lit up because he recognized the celebrity.
Xu Weiwei.
She was a singer and also acted in TV dramas, almost considered an A-list star before the apocalypse, supposedly from Ice City.
The sight of a celebrity poster imdiately gathered a crowd, curious about what was happening.
Soone over there picked up a loudspeaker and began promoting the event.
"Hello fellow citizens of Dawn City, we co from Coal City and Daqing Mountain Prison Base!"
Ye Fan was taken aback. What were the people from Coal City and Daqing Mountain Prison Base doing here?
They had just experienced a major battle with the Dawn Army, with countless Coal City people eliminated, leaving them severely weakened.
Although Ye Fan hadn’t banned Coal City people from trading here, they generally didn’t dare to co.
Even if they did, they would co stealthily, fearing that revealing their identity might cause unpleasant incidents.
But showing up as grandly as this was quite rare.
The person with the loudspeaker continued, "So ti ago, due to personal reasons of Hu Yuan, the forr leader of Daqing Mountain, there were so unpleasant happenings with the Dawn Army, but Hu Yuan does not represent the one hundred thousand survivors in Coal City, it was only his personal action."
"To express the friendliness between Daqing Mountain and the Dawn Army, our new leader, Yan Zhihuan, has specially invited Ms. Xu Weiwei and several individuals from the forr entertainnt industry to co to Dawn City for a song and dance performance in the near future, hoping everyone enjoys it!"
The surrounding crowd imdiately erupted in applause.
The post-apocalyptic life was too dull, with almost no entertainnt activities.
In Dawn City, people weren’t worried about starving, yet yearned for a vibrant life.
Especially with an appearance by a forr famous beauty star, performing in Dawn City was indeed a joyful event.
The crowd expressed enthusiastic welco towards this.
Of course, it wasn’t enough for them to be welco; Ye Fan also needed to agree.
The promoters imdiately sought out Zhang Kunlin, a logistics officer, hoping he would report the matter to Ye Fan, seeking his approval for this friendly interaction between the two parties.
While they reported, their brochures continued to promote the event through the streets and alleys of Dawn City.
Almost all seven or eight thousand people in Dawn City quickly learned about it.
Zhang Kunlin also reported the matter to Ye Fan through Nana.
However, Ye Fan was unsure of the other party’s intentions.
Asking the Red Alert Warriors about this wouldn’t help; although they were humans, the system granted them more attributes like loyalty to the officer, ensuring the officer’s safety, and combat skills, etc.
They weren’t versed in other matters.
Ye Fan decided to consult a survivor to discuss this.
After looking around, Ye Fan’s eyes brightened.
He saw Qin Yumo’s vehicle just returned to the city, with quite a lot of materials being unloaded, stopping near the trading market.
Qin Yumo was sowhat of a celebrity in Dawn City; the Apocalypse Mountain Squad was the first Adventurer Squad and was relatively famous.
Ordinary survivors had a certain fear of Evolvers, so Qin Yumo was quite well-received in Dawn City.
To prove her identity, she even specially painted the squad’s logo on her vehicle.
Two towering semicircular peaks.
Quite round ones.
A style Ye Fan liked.
This girl was fashionable and smart, making it possible to discuss this with her.
Ye Fan walked over and greeted Qin Yumo, "Hello, Captain Qin."
Qin Yumo glanced at him and snorted, not responding to Ye Fan.
As an Evolver and a beauty, many people hit on her, but she generally ignored them.
Moreover, Ye Fan was masked, giving off a suspicious vibe, which didn’t make him seem like a good person.
Ye Fan faced rejection and considered revealing his identity but hesitated due to the crowd and ca up with a new idea.
