Chapter 23: Sudden Riches

Li Biao brought a significant amount of jewelry; after all, Ye Fan and the others had slain over 800 zombies in this battle.

There were few elderly and children present, but nearly 400 female zombies were among them.

Given the proximity to the highway, many who arrived could drive and were affluent, reflecting in the quality of jewelry they carried. The weight of the heavy package felt like two or three kilograms.

As soon as the jewelry was collected, Nana promptly inquired about converting it into money.

"Convert all."

"Sir, the transformation is complete."

Ye Fan checked his newfound wealth, finding it astonishingly reached 3120 gold!

"Great, more than half of the cost of building the radar has been paid. We only need 1900 more gold to produce it," he exclaimed.

With this done, Ye Fan observed that the survivors were still staring at him, a mix of fear and hope in their eyes.

Not addressing the survivors immediately, he commanded the Red Alert soldiers, "Search every restaurant here immediately. Bring me whatever you find and kill anyone found alive!"

"Understood, I promise to complete the task!" the soldiers dispersed, continuing the search for treasures.

Ye Fan learned from Su Chang that all the survivors in the small fishing village fled when the disaster struck. Except for the twenty or so people on the second floor, no other survivors remained.

The so-called living mouths were nothing more than zombies.

The survivors around him remained silent, their eyes filled with fear. Ye Fan indifferently walked towards them with the still-smoking 54 pistol. Luo Fei and Xiao Tian followed him, the latter's face displaying a cruel demeanor.

Xiaotian stuck out his tongue, blood dripping from the dog's mouth, a result of biting the zombie.

Glancing at the survivors, none dared to meet Ye Fan's gaze. His last glance fell on Su Chang and her sister.

"You look good!"

Su Chang was momentarily stunned, then lowered her head slowly.

Ye Fan pointed his gun and said, "Pack your things, get in the car, and wait for me. Don't think about escaping, otherwise, those zombies will be your fate!"

Gunshots echoed from some surrounding buildings, indicating that the remaining zombies were being eliminated by the soldiers conducting the search.

Su Chang trembled, her face bearing an aggrieved look as she raised her head, glancing at the survivors around her. Yet, they all turned away, unwilling to meet her eyes.

Covering her face, Su Chang ran home, her sister following her to pack their belongings.

Ye Fan sneered, looking back at the survivors. "You must really not want to stay here..."

A middle-aged man smiled, "Sir, this place is far from the hustle and bustle, and the scenery is good. This is the pastoral life I dream of. When I get older, I don't like running around anymore."

"Yes, no one is coming here now, so we can open up fields and farm here ourselves."

"Yes, yes, I can also raise chickens. I see there are eggs here, but the hens are a problem."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I know how to craft, let's build an incubator ourselves."

"Oh, I'm so happy. I can't wait to start a new life..."

Ye Fan looked around, snorting with some disappointment. "There is no one decent, let's go."

He turned around with the soldiers and Xiaotian, returning to wait in front of the Sisters Fish House.

After a while, Su Chang immediately brought her sister back to Ye Fan. Seeing the survivors distancing themselves, Su Chang took a deep breath, winking at Ye Fan. "Brother Ye."

"Well, you are very smart."

"Hey, you're okay, Brother Ye, this is my sister waking up."

The older girl expressed gratitude to Ye Fan. "Brother Ye, thank you so much. You saved our lives."

"It's nothing. I also accepted what Su Chang gave me. You don't owe me anything."

"That's different. Why do you need something when your life is gone? I really don't know how to thank you."

Su Chang also had a face full of gratitude and admiration. "Brother Ye, you looked so handsome when you killed the zombies just now. Did you lie to me before, right? You must be a soldier; otherwise, you wouldn't have such good marksmanship."

Ye Fan has been misunderstood as a soldier many times, and he is too lazy to explain.

After all, no matter how you explain it, it's hard to justify it. The military uniform is slightly strange, but the origin of this weapon is hard to say.

He was too lazy to explain more about this matter. He had his own plans for calling this sister over.

He knew that these two sisters were very capable. They cooked by themselves in the beginning of the restaurant. Ye Fan wanted to bring them along to become his chefs.

In this way, he no longer has to shoulder the responsibility of cooking before becoming the company commander of the production cooking squad.

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

"There are not many people left. My parents left early. I grew up with my younger sister. Because the conditions were not good before, neither of us went to school much. I originally thought that when the conditions were better, we would study, but now it seems that there is no need for it."

Su Xing is a little sad. She finally made money, but the end of the world has come. Without a civilized society with laws and regulations, the two sisters still don't know where to go.

It is already a luxury to want to go to school anymore; it is good to be able to survive.

Ye Fan coughed, "That's it. I plan to find my comrades. They are waiting for my arrival in many places. With so many people moving, eating is also a problem. I lack people to cook here. If you want, you can follow me."

The Su sisters looked at each other, discussed a few words in a low voice, and immediately gave Ye Fan's answer.

"We are willing. Anyway, our sisters have nowhere to go, and it is not safe to stay here."

Su Xing understands this very well. Many conflicts occurred when the survivors gathered there.

They stayed in that hotel for several days, with food shortages and panic. The shadow of death that could happen at any time loomed over everyone.

People will collapse in this environment. During this time, she has seen the ugliness of people's hearts. If it weren't for someone coming from Ye Fan, maybe something else would happen there.

She doesn't want to stay here at all, even if this is her home.

Finally the chef's problem was solved, and Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the men came back first. They had cleaned up the restaurant in this small fishing village and collected a total of 1,100 gold for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's money amount increased again and reached 4,200.

This trip to the small fishing village was considered a success.

Order the soldiers to start setting fire and burn all the zombies.

After the matter was over, Ye Fan immediately greeted them to get in the car.

The driver is still Wang Hu, the co-pilot is Li Biao, and Ye Fan is in the second row. Naturally, the Su sisters cannot sit on the vertical bench behind and squeeze together

 with the soldiers, so they also follow Ye Fan and sit in the second row.

The positions of the six people at the back are now crowded with seven mobilization soldiers and a big dog.

Xu Haoran and Luo Fei still drove the mining truck and drove the road ahead.

When passing by the survivors, the survivors were still waving to him: "Goodbye, sir!"

Ye Fan snorted, and the car roared forward, but before driving far, it stopped at a gas station next to a small fishing village.

Warriors use gasoline, and mining trucks burn diesel. Fuel is definitely a very precious thing in the apocalypse.

Several soldiers got out of the car and swept around, but found no zombies.

Picked up the refueling gun and refueled, and found that there was still a lot of oil here.

It may be the beginning of the end of the world. No one has passed by here yet, and all the oil is there.

There is oil, but Ye Fan does not have a tanker truck, so it is impossible to take away too much fuel.

Fortunately, he found dozens of oil barrels at the gas station, and he filled them all.

Ten barrels of gasoline and thirty barrels of diesel, plus the fuel tanks of the two cars are all full, this is what Ye Fan can take away.

The oil barrels were also moved into the carriage of the mining truck. This truck was not used to hold ore, but was instead used to hold supplies.

However, after loading the oil, Ye Fan did not dare to drive the warrior directly into the carriage like he did when he first escaped.

It would be great fun if there was an explosion.

The car finally left the small fishing village and drove all the way towards the coal city where Ye Fan's hometown is located.

After traveling more than 300 kilometers at a time, they finally stopped for a rest. The Su sisters took the initiative to take on the task of cooking.

The cabin of the mining truck is fully stocked with all kinds of food, including all seasonings and tableware.

The sisters worked for about forty minutes, and the big pot of rice was freshly cooked.

Happy cold dishes, delicious stews, and some fresh stir-fries gave the Red Police soldiers a hearty meal.

Ye Fan felt more and more that he had made a right decision. Even if there was a cooking class in his team in the future, it is estimated that the food made by those rich and powerful men would not be as delicious as the two sisters who had been running restaurants for a long time.

The energy is replenished and the car moves forward again.

The speed of the mining truck was not fast, and it took too much time to clean up the zombies during the day, so I had to rest on the side of the road that night.

Fortunately, there were red police soldiers on duty and there was no need to worry about safety. Several people were sleeping well with their clothes on.

In the early morning of the next day, after another delicious breakfast, the car continued to move forward.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Fan's hometown of Coal City is already in sight.
