MTL - Wasteland Commander

Chapter 196 Robbers

 Ye Fan's four cars drove into the yard, and he deliberately maintained a more elegant look when he got out of the car.

 The car door opens and military boots hit the ground.

Zhuge Yunxue handed him the white cloak, and he flicked it gently, drawing a graceful arc and draping it on his shoulders.

Then......

The yard in front of me was deserted, with no one around.

Ye Fan stood there for a full minute, and the surroundings were quiet.

“It’s really strange. The radar shows that there are clearly people here.”

Ye Fan stepped forward and walked into a room.

The things in the room have been put away urgently. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see any trace of anyone living here.

 Going to the kitchen, it was also empty.

Ye Fan lowered his head and looked at the stove. The coals burning inside had been extinguished, but they were still warm.

 “Is this because you don’t want to see outsiders?”

Although Ye Fan was not very happy, he could understand the mentality of these people.

 As a small survivor force, we do have a lot of worries about living in the last days.

Just like when the Dawn Army is looking for survivors, sometimes it doesn't take a semi-forced attitude, and many survivors don't dare to show up at all.

But he came all the way here to find someone to get some news. How could these people not show up?

Ye Fan stood in the middle of the yard and spoke loudly: "The survivors here, we are just passing by. We want to understand the situation here and trade some things by the way. You don't have to be afraid."

 No one answered.

Ye Fan continued: "I know you are hiding in the tunnel, come out. You are so poor here, is there anything else worth worrying about?"

 Still no one answered, maybe they felt that Ye Fan was deliberately deceiving them to show up.

 Ye Fan was a little unhappy. It seemed that if these people were not given some strength, they would not show up obediently.

 The right eye is closed and the left eye is squinted.

 Cooperating with radar observation and his extremely abnormal eyesight, he quickly discovered some problems.

“Right in front of me, there is a hole in the wall, and there is a person peeking behind. He has a single eyelid and there is eye mucus in the corner of his eye.”

The person observing behind him was stunned and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes. Sure enough, there was eye mucus.

"Under the firewood pile on the left front, there are two people who have their guns out a little. They can shoot at me at any time, but I advise you not to do that. Your shotguns and semi-automatic are not a threat to us at all, and they can shoot at me at any time. It will bring disaster to your place."

With that said, Ye Fan grabbed a stone and threw it casually.

The second-level evolver's strong hand threw the stone directly into the pyre, and hit a gun barrel with a clang!

 There was an exclamation from under the firewood pile.

"Under that collapsed wall is actually where you hid food, five bags of rice, three bags of noodles, and a little salt and soybean oil. Believe it or not, if you don't come out, we will take these things out and give them to you within a day. ate up!"

The red police soldier next to him nodded slightly. This officer was really not bragging. The thirty or so of them could eat as well as a hundred normal people.

"And who can stop your tunnel, which is less than one meter deep? We don't need weapons, Udyr... step on it!"

　　Magnetic infantry Udyr came over.

 After becoming a heroic magnetic storm infantry, Udyr's physical fitness has changed a lot.

 He has become stronger, his strength is completely inhuman, and coupled with the thick armor, the total weight has exceeded 300 kilograms.

 The reason why Ye Fan did not bring the helicopter with all the people was because this guy could bear the weight of four or five people.

Udyr stepped over and stepped **** an open space.

 Click~~!

The ground was cracked and there were signs of collapse.

There was a burst of exclamations from below, they had been exposed.

 There was a noise in the room inside, and a man came out.

 What came out was a young man, in his twenties.

 Carrying a rifle on his body, he is a first-level evolver.

 When the man came out, he was still holding a gun in anger, as if he wanted to fight with Ye Fan and the others.

But after he came out, his anger immediately disappeared.

 Because he felt the strength of this group of people.

  Ye Fan's team, apart from Xiao Jing and the two chefs, is also the weakest among the three-star airborne troops.

The strength of the three-star airborne troops is comparable to that of the first-level evolvers, or even slightly stronger.

 With a team composed of such people, he is not even qualified to fight.

 “You...who are you?”

"Haha! Just come out. I said we are just passing through. I want to find out about the situation here. There is no harm in it."

 The man stood there with a gun, a little helpless.

 The evolver, who was usually extremely majestic, now looks like a sheep standing among a group of ligers and tigers. Although he shakes his horns, he looks so ridiculous.

 “Come and sit down, what would you call me?”

Ye Fan took out his cigarette, softly, and threw one to the man.

The man sat in front of Ye Fan with some restraint, took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff before relaxing a little: "My name is Xie Zhenggang, and I am the leader here."

“Oh, my name is Ye Fan. I came from a far away place. Can you tell me about the situation here?”

 The man took another long puff. It was obvious that he had not smoked such a good cigarette for a long time.

ˆ He carefully looked at Ye Fan and the people around him, and the more he looked at him, the more shocked he became.

 Zhuge Yunxue and Xiao Jing are both top-notch beauties, and they are surrounded by extremely capable warriors. This Ye Fan obviously has a lot of background.

 The man vaguely felt that this seemed to be a good opportunity.

 After sorting out his thoughts, the man said, "Then you should know that our place belongs to Penglai City."

 “Yes, I know that.”

"We are part of Longmen County in Penglai City. I am just a small, unpopular force. The biggest force here is the heavy truck corps. Small forces like us have to pay taxes to the heavy truck group. We started to think that you are heavy trucks. People from the group, that’s why they didn’t dare to come out.”

 Ye Fan nodded: "Then if I want to get some supplies, such as gold or something, where can I get them?"

The man was stunned: "Gold? I'm afraid gold is not easy to get. Now we use gold as currency for transactions here. The heavy truck army stipulates that only the adventurer team registered with them is eligible to own gold. Others are not allowed. Keep the gold.”

“Is this heavy truck army so overbearing?”

Hearing Ye Fan ask about the heavy truck army, the man shook his head slightly, obviously he was too scrupulous to say anything more.

“Then where is this heavy truck army?”

"It's in the Nanshan Scenic Area. It was a tourist area in the past. After the end of the world, it was occupied by a group of people. Later, a heavy truck corps was slowly established. Our Longmen, Jindu in the southwest, and Qixia in the southeast are all heavy truck corps. In their sphere of influence, they already have 50,000 to 60,000 people there.”

Ye Fan probably understood that if you want to get gold in this main gold-producing area, you must pass the heavy truck corps.

Of course, Ye Fan can also choose to guerrilla, fly around with weapons, and look for gold stores, but that is not easy.

 First of all, he was not familiar with the situation here. Although there was radar, there was no indication on the radar where there was a gold shop.

So this heavy truck corps really needs to make a trip to get the status of an adventurer team that Xie Zhenggang said.

 At that time, you can go out to collect gold openly and lay the foundation for the upcoming war in Dawn City.

At this time, survivors came out one after another from Xie Zhenggang. Perhaps they realized that people like Ye Fan had no ill intentions, and they dared to show up.

Ye Fan saw that these people were generally sallow and thin, dressed in ragged clothes, and looked malnourished.

This is the true state of the vast majority of survivors. They have no food to eat and no guarantee of survival.

This place is actually not far from the coast, about dozens of kilometers. Ye Fan asked them why they didn't go to the sea to collect food.

Xie Zhenggang smiled bitterly: "Brother, are you kidding? Can you still go to the ocean? There are big mutants in it. The people from the Heavy Truck Corps planned to occupy a pier, but they rushed out of a pier more than 20 meters away. The sharks are so long that they can eat dozens of people in just a few clicks, and it is useless to shoot them with a gun. Now no one dares to go near the seaside."

 This news made Ye Fan's heart sink.

 There are actually mutated beasts in the ocean!

 This is really bad news.

Because Ye Fan's red alert system wants to develop, a dock must be built. If there are mutant beasts in the ocean, the dock may not be too safe to build.

This is really a difficult problem to solve. If you think about it, you will know that the mutant beasts in the ocean are definitely much more terrifying than those on land.

 Fortunately, it is not possible for Ye Fan to go to the beach for development and construction for the time being. It is still a little far away to consider this issue now.

Seeing that the people here in Xie Zhenggang lived in poverty, Ye Fan took out some meat from his luggage.

 It’s about three hundred kilograms, and if you save a little, it will be enough for Xie Zhenggang and others to eat for a while.

Seeing these meats, Xie Zhenggang and others' eyes glowed green, and they immediately thanked Ye Fan and others profusely, and even invited Ye Fan to eat here.

Ye Fan waved his hand: "I won't eat anymore. I'll go over to the heavy truck corps you mentioned to have a look."

"That's fine, but you have to be careful on the road. Try to take the main roads instead of small roads. Try to take the outer ring and don't get close to the city. Nanshan is about 180 kilometers away from us."

 Ye Fan stood up and said goodbye to Xie Zhenggang and others.

 The four vehicles started and slowly drove out of the grain collection station base.

The dark clouds on the road to Nanshan have been scouted, and Ye Fan and the others did not take a plane again and drove there.

Tang Yafei piloted the Wu Zhi and stayed there for the time being. When it got dark, she would fly over and find a place nearby to hide.

The car was accelerating all the way, and it didn't stop when it encountered a zombie on the road, but just drove over it.

The road Dark Cloud found was obviously passed by a convoy, and there were not many zombies.

 After driving for more than two hours, when night fell, a mountainous area appeared in front of us.

It’s not a big mountain, there are even luminous signs on the roadside, telling how far it is to Nanshan.

“Nanshan base, 21 kilometers.”

Ye Fan stretched his waist. He was finally almost there. He was a little tired after sitting in the car for so long.

Suddenly, he saw dozens of blue light spots on the radar screen at a mountain pass ahead.

 “What? Is it a checkpoint?”

 The car moved forward slowly, and it reached the vicinity of the blue light spot, but no one was seen.

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. This was... meeting someone giving money... no, meeting a robber?
