MTL - Wasteland Commander

Chapter 18 Rich Man

Ye Fan's warrior truck stayed in the compartment of the mining truck, and there were five or six zombies crowded around it, still trying hard to rush in.

This time it was the military dog ​​Xiaotian who jumped out.

 In the narrow terrain, people may be scratched by zombies, but Xiaotian is no problem. The animal's flexible skills prevent zombies from even catching a hair on it.

After Xiaotian rushed out, he almost killed the zombies one by one.

 Li Biao, who was in the passenger seat, got down and threw all the zombies out of the car.

 There were some zombies behind the car trying to catch up, but they couldn't keep up with the speed of the mining truck.

Zombies occasionally appear on the roadside, but they cannot cause any hindrance to the rumbling mining trucks.

Ye Fan looked at the back of the car. Some zombies stopped and started to devour the corpses of the same kind.

I believe that before long, there will definitely be a bunch of evolved zombies in this area.

He can't control that much anymore. The only real thing is to leave Ice City as soon as possible.

About ten minutes later, the surrounding buildings began to become sparse and the buildings became shorter and shorter. They had left the suburbs and entered the border area of ​​the city.

 “Stop.”

 The mining truck stopped, and the warrior reversed out of the carriage and landed smoothly.

  Close the cabin panel of the mining truck, and the surroundings are finally clear.

 “No one was injured, right?”

 “Report, no one injured.”

 Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction and breathed a long sigh of relief.

 It’s good that no one was injured. His serum hasn’t been refreshed yet. If anyone is scratched by a zombie, it will be hopeless.

 Looking at the upgrade progress bar of his subordinates, except for Wang Hu and Xu Haoran, everyone has reached about half of the progress.

The two men did not shoot much while driving, and their progress did not improve, but their bullets were also retained.

 The rest of them only had three or five rounds of ammunition left and could not fire at will.

 Looking at the time, it was now around two o'clock in the afternoon. We were still thousands of kilometers away from home, and we wouldn't be able to get home until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

The battle just now was quite tense and the physical strength was exhausted. Every soldier took out dry food and started to eat it.

Although there is a gas tank and a gas stove in the car, Ye Fan really doesn't want to cook.

He took out some sausages, mineral water, etc. he got from the supermarket and distributed them to everyone, and Ye Fan took a reluctant bite.

“You have to reach the company commander level to have the production option of the cooking squad. I’m still far away.”

Now the amount of money in Ye Fan's hand is 127. The necklace Xu Haoran brought back to him actually weighs more than 100 grams. It is Ye Fan's largest single income in such a long time.

There is still a long way to go before the five thousand gold required to build a radar, so Ye Fan must start saving money.

 When everyone finished eating and got on the bus again, Ye Fan gave the order: "Now start moving at full speed, don't stop in the middle, and try to reach the small fishing village before dark, and rest there tonight."

There was still not enough room in the car, and I couldn’t rest well, so I had to hurry up and rest in the small fishing village I had been to before.

The speed of the mining truck increased to ninety yards, knocking away the occasional vehicles on the road.

After leaving the suburbs completely, the surroundings finally became quiet.

It's early September now. It's a little cooler in the north. There are crops and crops everywhere. The Warrior car is driving on the road. Ye Fan opens the car window and feels a cool breeze blowing. It feels very comfortable.

Had it not been for the outbreak of the biochemical crisis, it would look the same now as before.

 The soldiers in the car began to take turns to rest. After all, they were also real people and needed to recover their strength.

With the cool breeze blowing, Ye Fan also fell into a deep sleep.

 In his dream, he dreamed that he was commanding thousands of troops... Well, he was very handsome.

　　************

Although a small fishing village is called a village, it is not actually a village in the traditional sense.

It is close to the highway. From Ye Fan's hometown, Coal City, to Bingcheng City, we had to take this road. At first, a restaurant settled here. Later, more and more restaurants came here. Apart from the restaurant, there were no other villagers. .

 There are more than 20 restaurants here, all of which are famous for their fish cooking.

Later on, there was a police station, a gas station and a health clinic, but that was it.

Later on, the expressway was built, and the place was not so popular, but some vehicles still used this road, and the restaurants were still maintained.

Ye Fan still remembers that when he was eating at the sisters' fish restaurant, he was really hungry. He cruelly ordered a plate of fish and spent dozens of yuan. Then when adding rice, he asked the two sisters, can you add more rice?

The two sisters didn't take it seriously and said it's fine as long as you're full.

Then when Ye Fan left, the little girl gave him a fierce look.

 It is estimated that the two sisters must have lost money in that transaction.

Thinking about it later, Ye Fan felt a little bit regretful.

By the time Ye Fan woke up, the small fishing village had already arrived.

 “Sir, we’ve arrived.”

Ye Fan opened his eyes, and the sky was already a little dark. After all, there were still obstacles on the road, and he was not running very fast.

More than twenty restaurants are still lined up on both sides of the highway, but they are no longer what they were when we first came here.

 Some cars were scattered across the parking lot, and a few buses even overturned on the street, blocking the road. In order to make a detour, some cars even rushed under the road and overturned in a ditch.

 The biohazard broke out at noon, when people were dining in restaurants.

Just look at the number of cars here. There were definitely a lot of people in the town at that time.

“I estimate there are at least a few hundred zombies here, but why can’t we see them on the streets?”

 I felt a little strange. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Fan planned to rest here tonight.

“Sir, our vehicles consume fuel quickly, and the fuel in the tank cannot support your hometown.”

 Mining vehicles are relatively fuel-intensive, especially when clearing obstacles on the road. They have to rely on diesel as power, and the 500-liter fuel tank has been reduced to less than half.

“I remember there is a gas station in this town, so let’s find a place to stay first and then look for fuel.”

Since there were no zombies on the street, Ye Fan asked the soldiers to get out of the car.

 The mining vehicle and the Warrior both have automatic locks, and the vehicle keys are in the hands of Xu Haoran and Wang Hu respectively.

 Without the keys, it would be difficult for anyone except Ye Fan to open the two cars.

Produced by Red Alert, guaranteed to prevent theft.

Xu Haoran was leading the way. After Wang Hu broke off, the two men's guns were still full of ammunition.

The further he walked, the weirder Ye Fan felt.

 They have arrived at the center of the town, but there are still no zombies in sight.

“It’s strange. Judging from the vehicles, there are at least three hundred zombies here. Where have all the zombies gone?”

 Ye Fan is now more and more aware of the importance of radar. If there is a radar, the surrounding situation can be seen at a glance, and the situation will be grasped much more accurately.

Since there are no zombies to be found, Ye Fan can only find a place to stay first.

 He came to the door of Sisters Fish House.

 Here he saw the first zombie.

There was a car overturned outside the door. A female driver zombie was trapped on the driver's seat by the seat belt and the deformed door. Seeing Ye Fan and the others coming over, he kept extending his claws through the broken window.

With a wave of Ye Fan's hand, Wang Hu went over and killed the zombie with a bayonet. Then he followed Ye Fan's wishes, took off the ring from the zombie's hand and gave it to Ye Fan.

 A nice diamond ring, with a platinum setting, a total of 18 gold.

　　After accepting the ring, Ye Fan led people through the door.

 The door was open and the room was in a mess.

Xu Haoran's gun has a red ray sight. He holds the gun in front and checks it constantly.

 “Sir, there is no one on the first floor.”

 “Go up to the second floor and have a look.”

Ye Fan was about to go up to the second floor, but suddenly Xu Haoran blocked him.

 “Sir, be careful.”

Ye Fan looked down and saw that the stairs leading to the second floor were already covered in oil!

 It’s not gasoline, it’s soybean oil.

 The floor tiles were covered with oil and were so slippery that it was almost impossible to step on them.

Ye Fan immediately understood that this was a way to prevent zombies from going upstairs.

 It is useful for zombies, but useless for humans. A few soldiers got some sand and sprinkled it on it, and the stairs immediately became a thoroughfare.

But this proved that there was someone upstairs, and several people were on guard after going upstairs.

There are four private rooms upstairs, and there is a bedroom at the end. The door is closed at the moment.

 Xu Haoran and Wang Hu came to both sides of the door, and then Xu Haoran suddenly kicked the door open.

At the same time as the door opened, a scream came from the room.

 “Don’t move! Come out honestly and we won’t hurt you.”

Ye Fan didn't go in. He stood outside and saw a little girl coming out.

 She is about eighteen or nineteen years old. She is not a natural beauty, but she is also quite pretty.

Ye Fan remembered her. She was the one who glared at him because he ate too much.

But the little girl obviously didn't remember Ye Fan very much. She only saw a group of soldiers, with a young man who looked like an officer standing in the middle.

 The little girl’s fear immediately dissipated.

“Comrade, are you here to rescue me? Great, can you go and rescue my sister?”

There were still tears in his eyes when he spoke. It was obvious that he was weak and finally found support after being extremely scared, but he was still holding on. It was pitiful and very destructive for an otaku.

Of course Ye Fan thinks that he is no longer an otaku. Nana said that he is a handsome commander, and he is willing to accept this identity.

But Ye Fan still had to explain, "Little sister, we are not soldiers, we are just survivors, and we have no obligation to rescue other survivors."

The girl was a little disappointed after hearing this. She nodded with tears in her eyes, quickly turned around and ran into the bedroom, and came out holding a big box.

"I saw you upstairs... you were robbing the zombie's ring. Here are all the jewelry of me and my sister. If you agree, I'll give it all to you."

 Speaking, the girl opened the box, and Ye Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

 A set of gold rings, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold earrings, and gold and platinum.

 Diamond rings, pearl necklaces, ruby ​​pendants, women’s gold watches.

These are nothing, the more important thing is that there is a stone here.

The jadeite rough stone has been polished in half, and it is a kind of semi-wool material, revealing the green texture inside.

This stone is worth a lot of money, and they don’t know where the sisters got it.

 “Rich man!”

Ye Fan stared at the box of wealth intently, swallowed, rubbed his hands, and showed a very sincere and kind smile to the little girl: "Then why are you so embarrassed..."
