Upon hearing Gao Dongliang's words, Ye Fan was immediately delighted. "Oh, have you contacted the survivors?"
"Yeah, I've basically figured out everything around Coal City."
"Go to the office and talk."
Ye Fan promptly ushered Gao Dongliang to the office, where Gao Dongliang began his briefing.
"There are now five large bases around Coal City, more than a dozen small and medium-sized survivor gathering points, and some small teams. However, those small teams are of little value and have too few supplies."
"Large-scale bases include the Hot Spring Base, Daqingshan Prison Base, Dawangzhuang Village Base, the Hardware Building Base in Sishui County, and the Meicheng Airport Base."
"Do you know who the leaders of these bases are?"
"I know. The leader of the hot spring base is called Dai Yu, nicknamed Hairtail. It is said that he is a sharpshooter. Their base has the largest number of people. The one in Daqingshan is called Xing Hai, and their base is the strongest. The one in Dawangzhuang Village is called Chen Hao, and the one in the Hardware Building is called Liu Long. The leader of the airport base is called Qin Yumo; she seems to be a woman, relatively mysterious, and has never spoken on the radio."
Having conveyed this information, Gao Dongliang said, "Ye Fan, I announced on the radio that we are the Chengguan Town Base in Lingshui County, and you are the leader. Is that okay? Otherwise, people will always ask me where I am from."
Ye Fan nodded. Since he wanted to trade with the survivors, he had to reveal his identity. Saying his name didn't matter; basically, no one knew him anyway.
"Ye Fan, I checked the supplies that the base lacks. There are too many things missing—medicines, weapons, ammunition, diesel, coal, clothing, etc. Basically, everything is lacking. But I was laughed at when I suggested trading gold and silver. After a while, Liu Long from the hardware building even called me stupid. Only some people from small and medium-sized bases said they wanted to trade with me, but they don't have much gold, silver, and jewelry at the moment. They asked me to confirm a trading time. Take advantage of this period to start collecting."
"If you don't set the trading time soon, let them start collecting. In this way... everyone who collects more than five kilograms of gold can trade with us. Make a list of the materials they need for me now. We will also start collecting supplies tomorrow. As long as the gold is available, they can decide the trading location, try to be in the middle of the two houses."
"What about material pricing?"
"You should study this, and remember, don't suffer a loss. What everyone is lacking now is not gold but other materials. Gold is not as important to them as food. Don't give it too high a value. The cheaper, the better."
"Okay, I'll make a list for you now."
Gao Dongliang picked up his pen and began to write a list of supplies that the survivors needed.
Ye Fan took it over and looked at it. He didn't have any supplies now, only some firearms.
These firearms were all seized by him from Jiang Shilong and those at the Daqingshan Prison Base, including some police pistols and some rifles.
There is also a 56 punch, which was left behind by the soldiers who died in the battle. When the gun leaves the hands of the Red Alert soldiers, it will become an ordinary gun and will no longer have the function of automatically refreshing bullets.
These firearms are of little use in Ye Fan's hands, and they don't have many bullets. They should be able to be traded.
He called in the soldiers who were guarding outside the door.
Three combat platoons take turns guarding. The person currently guarding Ye Fan's door is the second platoon leader Shen Ruihui.
"Ruihui, go copy this list and distribute it to the survivors in the restaurant. Tell them that children under the age of fourteen and elders over the age of 55 can stay for cooking. The rest will follow the army tomorrow. Act together, the troops will fight the zombies, and they need to collect the things on the list, and the three heavy trucks will be given to them."
"Okay, sir, I'll do it right away!"
Shen Ruihui took the list and left, and found many soldiers to copy it. He quickly made a large stack and took it to the restaurant to distribute it to the survivors.
After a while, Shen Ruihui came back, and Ye Fan asked him how the situation was.
"Sir, most of the survivors are fine, especially the students who support you, but some of the original survivors feel that they shouldn't do this."
"Oh, who all think so?"
"Mainly because they have some old relationship with your family and they think they should do some management duties."
Ye Fan sneered: "What a stinking problem. Go over and tell those people again and give them three choices. One is to follow the troops to collect supplies. The other is to pick up weapons and fight zombies without giving them guns. The other one is, just leave here and go wherever you like! There are no idlers here!"
"Clear!"
Shen Ruihui left again and came back after a while, "Sir, the mission is completed!"
"What did they say this time?"
"I may want to say something, but I don't dare."
Ye Fan nodded, just don't dare. He will ask his sister and Qu Xiaoming to keep an eye on these people. If there is any change, he will never tolerate it.
These people simply cannot make it through the waves. Maybe there will be more survivors in the future, and some people with power will feel that they deserve better treatment, such as those with abilities.
But Ye Fan will not let go in this regard. He will make the best use of people's talents and resources. He does not need any armed force composed of survivors to fight. Red police soldiers are enough. The survivors should do other people's livelihood things.
It was late at night, and Ye Fan lay down to rest. Tomorrow morning, his team would set off again, striving to clear Chengguan Town within two days.
Early the next morning, Ye Fan's team set off.
The heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles and Xiaolong vehicles flashed with cold light, which was intimidating.
The military dogs slithered down next to Ye Fan. Anyone who dared to have ill intentions towards the commander would be immediately noticed and quickly torn into pieces!
Hundred heavily armed soldiers, plus more than 300 survivors, all gathered on the street between the police station and the restaurant.
Ye Fan came to the front of the survivor team and said loudly: "Today your task is very simple, that is, follow the troops. We clear an area, and you collect valuable things in this area and load them into the vehicle. Among them, gold Silver jewelry must be handed over. No one is allowed to hide anything. The more you contribute, the better treatment you will get in the future. Anyone who tries to take advantage of me and my family will get what kind of treatment they want. All thoughts are intolerable
, these are the rules, do you understand!"
"Understood!"
Those students answered particularly neatly, and other survivors also shouted out. Faced with this scene, no one dared to challenge Ye Fan's authority.
Ye Fan was quite satisfied and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
