MTL - Wasteland Commander

Chapter 210 The Hongmen Banquet Begins

 Wearing a straight military uniform, the hat is tied upright and the cloak is buttoned up.

Zhuge Yunxue helped Ye Fan finish sorting it out, then took two steps back and took a look.

 “Sir, he’s a bit handsome.”

Ye Fan straightened his waist: "How handsome he is."

Zhuge Yunxue blinked his eyes and said, "He's so handsome."

Ye Fan felt that it was necessary to give Chinese lessons to the main figures of the Dawn Army, and at least teach them some words of praise.

 The intercom rang, it was Zhao Xiaoman.

“Ye Fan, it’s almost time to go to the cocktail party. Let’s discuss the countermeasures.”

 “Okay, I’ll go back right away.”

 Ending the call, Ye Fan began to organize people to get on the bus.

 First of all, he packed the commander’s bag with some powerful troops.

 Then he took his Dawn Team, more than 30 people, and drove four vehicles to Nanshan.

The cold wind was blowing in the winter wilderness. Ye Fan sat on the Xiaolong car and closed his eyes to relax.

It’s been almost a month since I came out, and the Chinese New Year will be here in a dozen days.

 Once things here are over, he should immediately embark on the return journey.

 with with me with no idea what Mu Haiyang's plans were. He was obviously going to a Hongmen banquet, but Ye Fan was actually looking forward to it.

　　************

 The cocktail party started at eight o'clock in the evening, and it is now six o'clock in the afternoon.

 Mu Haiyang had already gathered a large number of people in the room.

 Including Captain Wang of the Guard, Ban Tianyun’s Jiang Jun, and some chamber of commerce bosses.

In the past, these people had never come to Mu Haiyang’s office, but at that time, these people were all very confident and arrogant.

 But it’s different today. People here are sitting more politely.

 They have been officially subdued by Mu Haiyang and have become real subordinates. They cannot be as unruly as before.

There was only one person who moved a chair and sat next to Mu Haiyang, with an arrogant expression on his face.

Mu Haiyang didn’t take it seriously, and even had some respect for this man.

Mu Haiyang spoke.

“Everyone, I won’t go into detail about the importance of today’s reception. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

"Today is crucial to whether we can completely pacify the heavy truck army. Our main task is to deal with the three forces of Lawson, Zhao Xiaoman, and Ye Fan. As long as we deal with them, the remaining teams will naturally make the right move. The choice, I will assign tasks to everyone in a moment."

“Before assigning the task, let me introduce someone to everyone.”

"Everyone must know this. This is Qu Lin, the chief representative of our Mr. Meng Liangmeng in Quancheng. He came to discuss the joint issue with me this time."

 The people around him all stood up and stood up. They had heard of Meng Liang's name.

Mr. Meng is famous because not long after the apocalypse happened, he even proposed a Great Yellow Sea strategy on the radio without even establishing a base!

  He said that one day, he would build a strategic circle with Quancheng, the capital of Qilu Province, as its core.

This strategic circle even wanted to include Huang Hai. At that time, everyone thought that he was talking wildly, and no one cared about it, just as the whims of a madman.

Everyone is still trying to find food and survive under the threat of zombies, so why should he be so shameless?

 But now, Meng Liang has established the largest survivor base in the province in Quancheng and is moving towards his goal. Thinking about what he said back then, it makes people think deeply.

 Mu Haiyang united with Mr. Meng, which was also an important means for him to pacify the Chamber of Commerce.

“Mr. Qu Lin specially sent an elite guard of 3,000 people to help me this time.”

“With Mr. Qu Lin’s cooperation, I believe this operation will be extremely smooth.”

The man named Qu Lin stood up arrogantly: "Everyone, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

 People around him smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Meng has known for a long time that there is a heavy truck army here in Penglai, but the transportation is inconvenient and he has never had the opportunity to come. This time Mr. Mu Haiyang invited us over, firstly to express his intention to unite, and secondly to ensure that everything is foolproof this time."

Qu Lin seems to be very confident in his own strength: "According to my understanding, Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman's combined family only has more than a thousand people, and Ye Fan only has more than 30 people on the surface, but I estimate that his actual The number of people is about three to four hundred, and if the three families join forces, there will only be about 2,000 people."

"Looking at the seriousness with which you deal with the three families, leave it to me to resolve the matter. You can discuss the rest slowly, so I'll excuse you now."

 After saying that, Qu Lin turned and left.

After Qu Lin left, these people looked at each other, obviously feeling that Qu Lin was a little too arrogant.

Mu Haiyang was still more cautious. He coughed and said, "Everyone, although Qu Lin said that we can deal with those three families, we can't be careless. In this way, I will make some arrangements..."

 They continued to discuss, not only to deal with Ye Fan and the others, but also to deal with many subsequent events.

　　************

 Ye Fan led the team back to Nanshan Base.

 Several soldiers from the trading market came forward and handed over all the turnover of the past three days to Ye Fan.

 This is the last 150,000 gold. Starting from tomorrow, there will probably be no chance of trading.

 Let the soldiers return to the team, and Ye Fan returned to the small building he rented.

The expiry date is coming soon.

 Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman are both waiting for Ye Fan here.

 Seeing Ye Fan coming back, the two of them looked a little heavy.

“Brother Ye is back, let’s sit down and discuss it.”

Lawson asked Ye Fan to sit down, and then said: "You two, I won't say more about the danger of the current situation. In fact, from a week ago, the people from the Heavy Truck Corps have been keeping a close eye on us and even banned our entire army. After leaving the heavy truck group, every time we go out, only some people can go out."

“Perhaps it doesn’t matter that Brother Ye’s team is small. Zhao Xiaoman and I’s team has become the focus of their monitoring.”

 Zhao Xiaoman also nodded slightly, obviously feeling that the situation was urgent.

Lawson unfolded the map and placed it on the table.

“This is a map of their hotel. The reception is in the lobby on the first floor.”

"Mu Haiyang thought he had mastered all the power, but he underestimated these adventurer teams. He thought that as long as we were killed, other adventurer teams would take the initiative to join us, but he never thought about the truth of the death of lips and teeth. Other adventurers Is the team so willing to surrender its weapons?"

Ye Fan's eyes lit up slightly. Lawson, this big guy, still has some brains.

Lawson looked at Ye Fan at this time: "Brother Ye, tell me the truth, are the people who robbed the prison your subordinates?"

 Ye Fan nodded: "That's right."

“There should be about thirty people who robbed the prison.”

"Yes."

Lawson shook his head slightly: "Then your number is too small and you cannot be the main force tonight. That's fine. I'll give you a task."

 “What task?”

"You take advantage of the cocktail party and try your best to get in touch with other adventurer team leaders. If you can pull them over, just pull them over. As long as we gather more power, Mu Haiyang will be less afraid to act rashly. Maybe what happened tonight There is hope of avoiding it.”

Ye Fan didn't think Lawson's plan could succeed. Mu Haiyang was determined to launch it. How could it be delayed because of this matter.

 But Lawson is just a team leader after all, and it is rare to be able to think of these things and put them into action.

 Zhao Xiaoman also put forward some details on how they would act and retreat if a battle broke out.

Ye Fan didn't interrupt much, not because he wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but because there were some things that he really couldn't explain.

For example, if more than a hundred people were taken out of their luggage at once, there would be no way to explain this matter, as it would involve Mark’s secrets.

 Then just stop talking and act as the situation arises.

 After the strategy is formulated, time is almost up.

 Three people go out together, and each person is only allowed to bring four guards.

 Ye Fan was followed by four people, Shen Ruihui, Zhuge Yunxue, Udyr, and Zhao Ming.

 Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman each also brought four evolvers with them.

The group of people drove to the entrance of the core area, then got out of the car and handed the invitations to the doorman.

The person outside the door saw the three invitations and smiled: "Welcome to the three captains. The time is almost up. Leader Mu Haiyang and the others are already in the banquet hall. Please come in."

We walked into the courtyard of the core area and arrived at the courtyard of the banquet hall.

 There was a guard in front of the door. After walking in, I found that there were a lot of people here today.

 The entire Heavy Truck Legion has nearly a hundred adventurer teams, and these captains and their subordinates alone number hundreds of people.

 On the surface, there are not many guards here, and the cheerful atmosphere of the reception is still maintained.

But Ye Fan could see through radar that there were a large number of blue light spots in various places outside the yard.

 Obviously, these people are ready to swoop in and take control of the situation if the situation calls for it.

When they arrived at the door of the banquet hall, several people came in ahead of them.

 Someone looked at the invitation and shouted in a long voice.

“Mr. Qu Lin, the personal representative of Mr. Meng from Quancheng, has arrived!”

I saw a man, holding a beautiful woman on his arm, slowly entering the room, and there was applause inside.

Ye Fan sneered: "Just do some boring pomp."

Lawson said to Ye Fan: "Everyone is like this. We still have to maintain our face. Let's go in."

The guard checked the invitations of the three people again and continued to shout in a long tone.

 “The leader of the Rock Team, Dwayne Lawson is here~~~!”

“Captain of the Dark Rose Team, Zhao Xiaoman is here~~~!”

 “Captain of the Dawn Team, Ye Fan is here~~~!”

 The sound of a band playing music came from inside.

Stepping into this hall of intertwined light and shadow, the people inside were well-dressed and gathered in small groups, drinking and talking. When they saw them coming in, they all cast their eyes in.

Zhao Xiaoman was at Ye Fan's side, holding Ye Fan's arm calmly.

 This is a kind of etiquette and does not mean anything. This is basically how everyone enters the venue.

Other than Zhao Xiaoman, the only girl here is Zhuge Yunxue. Lawson also politely extended his hand, hoping that Zhuge Yunxue would take his arm.

But he didn't expect that Zhuge Yunxue actually walked to the other side of Ye Fan and entered the room holding his other arm.

In Zhuge Yunxue's heart, following the superior was the only thing she could do. As for carrying another man's arm, she had no such concept at all.

Zhao Xiaoman did not expect Zhuge Yunxue to be like this. It was inappropriate to let go of Ye Fan at this moment and could only continue to carry him forward.

Lawson was stunned for a moment, and naturally fell behind Ye Fan and others.

 Following him again, his tall body made him look like a bodyguard.

Such a group of people walked in with wind, attracting the attention of many people.
