Ye Fan was sowhat surprised to hear that the Dawn Army was at full strength, as he himself was uncertain about when it would be complete.
However, the upcoming unlocking of the dock made him cheerful.
The dock, after so long, was finally unlocked.
He imdiately opened the system to check the building options.
[Dock: Cost one million gold.]
[Attention, Commander: After building the dock, you can add naval options. The naval options are not part of the army or air force. After construction, you can allocate personnel to the navy. Once the navy reaches full strength as well, Commander can be promoted to regintal commander.]
Ye Fan understood. It turns out that all three branches need to be at full strength to upgrade to regintal commander.
That makes sense; it wouldn’t be logical for the army and air force to be at full capacity while the navy is at zero.
Now that the dock is built, it cannot be placed imdiately. Firstly, it can only be placed by the seaside, and without the wall constructed, it’s not appropriate.
These are secondary reasons; the main reason is that the base car hasn’t arrived yet.
The base car from Dawn City to here takes about forty days; now it’s been over ten days, and it still needs more than twenty days to arrive.
But this doesn’t stop Ye Fan from building the dock first. He directly selected the construction option.
[Confirm the construction of the dock, it will cost one million gold and require five days. Please wait patiently, Commander.]
After selecting the option, Ye Fan temporarily ignored it and went directly to the water’s edge.
"Xiaoba!"
Ye Fan gently called out, and from about three hundred ters away on the sea, several huge tentacles suddenly erged from the surface.
Xiaoba split the waves, swimming over rapidly with splashes.
From the radar screen, Ye Fan could see that there weren’t many Mutant Beasts by the sea. There were so small ones, but the large Mutant Beasts were all in the deep sea area.
This is understandable; big fish generally don’t co to shallow waters, and small to dium-sized Ocean Mutant Beasts mostly don’t dare to co over with Xiaoba here.
When Xiaoba surfaced, Ye Fan was amazed to discover that Xiaoba had grown even bigger.
Previously, its tentacles were nearly forty ters, now they’re about forty-five ters, significantly larger.
It was previously a Two-Star, but now it’s advanced trendously on the path to becoming a Three-Star, likely not far from it.
Ye Fan couldn’t help but anticipate whether this creature, upon reaching Three-Star, or even upgrading to a Heroic Unit, could flip warships like in the ga.
In any case, Ye Fan wants to give it a try.
"Xiaoba, stay active around the area, try to eat more and grow quickly. You must grow to Three-Star within a month."
Xiaoba bubbled to indicate understanding and then subrged to depart.
After handling these matters, Ye Fan looked up at the sky.
In the sky, the Hero Level War Eagle Dark Cloud had already arrived, hovering in this section of the sky.
Having it around provided Ye Fan with an extra pair of eyes in the sky, allowing effective prevention of many things.
Ye Fan walked back to the villa and looked at the two newly enlisted special engineer soldiers, sighing softly.
Being at full strength has its benefits, but it also restricts the manpower available.
Currently, on the island, only he himself is present along with Tanya, Xiaoba, Dark Cloud, and these two special forces soldiers.
Of course, when needed, he can also release the Magnetic Storm Infantry from the Commander’s Backpack.
This force is sufficient to deal with minor crises without any problems. Hopefully, no major events transpire in the coming days.
If anything occurs, Ye Fan can escape by riding Xiaoba in the sea. However, others will certainly know he’s been here, making returning to the island difficult. Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Fan doesn’t wish for that to happen.
......
At the Shanshen Country outpost.
Two citizens from their country sat on the sofa, looking at their leader, still shaken.
The leader of Shanshen Country is Jin Zhixian, and he’s also a mber of the multinational parliant.
Today, he’s very angry; the parliant actually allowed the Qin Han People to join, which makes him really displeased.
Shanshen Country is close to Qin Han; their relations were bad even before the apocalypse, and have remained so since.
On Wanguo Island, he has made great efforts to suppress the Qin Han People, always acting as the vanguard. But today, people from his country were actually injured by the Qin Han People.
Normally, he would have simply sent over people to retaliate, but the situation is different today, compelling him to seek the highly respected Qin Han leader on Wanguo Island, the boss of Qinghong Gang, Cao Zhenxu.
In Jin Zhixian’s view, if any Qin Han People were able to enter the parliant, Cao Zhenxu would have the best chance.
So he plans to give Cao Zhenxu face and talk with him first.
Cao Zexu is in his thirties, and now that heads tend to be young due to the apocalypse winnowing out the older ones, few remain.
He’s dressed in traditional Chinese attire, sitting on the sofa with legs crossed, casually spinning two dark items in his hands.
They’re not walnuts or porcelain balls, but two hand grenades.
According to him, they can build strength and be used for self-defense.
Jin Zhixian looked at Cao Zhenxu, speaking gravely, "Boss Cao, your Qin Han people injured my n. How do you plan to resolve this?"
Cao Zhenxu was quite confident today. He already knew the contents of the multi-nation eting, and he believed that the Qin Han council mber position was destined for him.
He chuckled, "Boss Jin, such claims without evidence are baseless. I haven’t heard of anyone on my side making a move on your people."
"Hmph! Your Qin Han’s biggest gang now is Qing Hong, and the smaller gangs survive by relying on you. The main ard forces are in your hands; everyone else is just ek citizens without resistance. If it’s not your n, then who else could it be?"
"Evidence? Show the evidence, and I’ll admit it."
"Alright, let show you the evidence."
Jin Zhixian took out a smartphone. Although it couldn’t make calls, it was a great portable cara.
He pulled up a few photos and laid them in front of Cao Zhenxu, "Look, this man is the culprit, and that White Eagle Country woman is his subordinate. Don’t pretend you don’t know this person."
Cao Zhenxu took a closer look and indeed did not recognize him.
He cautiously called over a few of his n, "You guys take a look too. Is this person under anyone? I can’t possibly recognize everyone."
His n passed the phone around and shook their heads, indicating they didn’t recognize him.
"Boss, this person is definitely not one of ours. His outfit is so exaggerated; we would definitely rember if he was one of ours."
"Yeah, even if I can’t rember the man, I’d rember the woman. That foreign chick is so striking, and I have no mory of her."
Cao Zhenxu was confident, "Boss Jin, this person really isn’t under us; they must be newcors to the island. You know, there are new arrivals every day on the island; these adventurers are used to reckless behavior, nothing they do is surprising."
Jin Zhixian, hearing Cao Zhenxu and his n speak, found it unusual.
"Really not your people?"
"Really not."
"So, if I retaliate against them, you won’t get involved?"
Cao Zhenxu shrugged, "Of course, unless they end up under my wing; otherwise, it’s not my concern."
Jin Zhixian was only looking for this assurance from Cao Zhenxu, "Alright, I hope Boss Cao rembers what you said and doesn’t claim I didn’t give you a heads-up."
"Naturally, even though I’m not yet a council mber, my word still stands for Mr. Cao."
"In that case, I wrongly blad Boss Cao today. I’ll treat you to a drink another day."
Jin Zhixian showed them out, and Cao Zhenxu left with his n.
After Cao Zhenxu left, Jin Zhixian called over his n, "Gather so people and prepare to make a move against them."
"Boss, they just went to the villa area, which is so distance away. The situation inside the villa area is unclear, and our people are dispersed; it’s hard to guarantee success today."
Jin Zhixian pondered for a bit, "How many people went in together?"
"The scouts reported three went in: that man, the foreign woman, and the woman he bought from the slave market."
"And you have no information on that woman either?"
"We do. That woman is called Su Rou. She used to follow soone who styled himself as the King of Mauritius. Later, she was taken and sold as a slave."
"Oh! How much did the man pay for her?"
"Three hundred thousand; this is what sparked the conflict."
Jin Zhixian laughed, "Looks like this kid really likes Su Rou, which simplifies things. Find a chance to capture Su Rou tomorrow, find out about the villa area’s situation, and then we can devise a foolproof action plan."
"Understood, Boss. Don’t worry; this is easy to handle."
.......
Cao Zhenxu and his n left Shanshen Country’s territory and returned to their own place, imdiately giving orders to his n.
"Find the person brave enough to injure the people of Shanshen Country. Once found, tell him that if he wants to survive and make a stand on Wanguo Island, he must join our Qing Hong Gang. As long as he joins us, I’ll handle the pressure from Shanshen Country for him."
"Boss, that kid seems quite defiant; I doubt he’ll agree so easily."
"Hmph! It’s fine if he doesn’t agree; let them face Shanshen Country on their own. People only truly understand their capabilities after they suffer. He’ll soon realize that every Qin Han individual on this island must rely on , Cao Zhenxu, to survive."
With those words, even his n felt a sense of respect.
Indeed, the multi-nation council said a leader who can command respect should be elected within a week to join the council. The boss has notified all those with status and position among the Qin Han people on the island to co here in five days to choose a council mber.
This position undoubtedly belongs to the boss; others aren’t qualified to touch it. Everyone understands that this election is just a formality.
The newcor from Qin Han will soon recognize that as well.
But he still advised, "Boss, is it worth sending soone to recruit a fresh face?"
"Hmph! What do you know? That kid is no ordinary person. You wouldn’t see it as a Level 2 Mutant. Both he and the blonde beside him are Level 2 Mutants."
At this point, Cao Zhenxu had a yearning expression, "A woman with a Level 2 Mutation is rare, especially one from White Eagle Country. I could use a subordinate like her."
