The representatives of the alliance's six families arrived inside the jeep.

Compared to their first visit, this time they were much more low-key.

The machine gun mounted on the jeep was even put away here to avoid any misunderstanding with the Dawn Army.

As they passed through the Outer City District, they felt very intrigued.

Compared to their base, the Dawn Army here is full of vibrant energy.

About a week ago, they had just left this place, and it was still a mess.

And now, in less than ten days, everything has changed dramatically.

The few people widened their eyes, trying to pick out some flaws.

"Look, the Dawn Army is using temporary buildings; that's really subpar."

Wang Dashan glanced at the speaker: "Winter is coming, and building temporary houses is the best choice. Next spring, this place might start putting up buildings."

"The survivors with the Dawn Army aren't many, probably just over a thousand."

"You must have forgotten when we left, there were only seven or eight hundred people; a few days later, the number increases by hundreds. This shows that many people in the Huacheng Region are recognizing the Dawn Army."

The speaker had nothing more to say, and the vehicle arrived at the gate of the Main City District.

They all got off the car and reported to meet Leader Ye Fan inside.

Very soon, a small door opened, and someone led them inside.

They had been to the Main City District before and intended to cause trouble here, but failed.

Upon returning this time, they froze as soon as they entered.

Because when they looked up, there was a huge cannon at the core area's gate!

An outrageously big cannon!

"Oh my God! What's this?"

"Is it real? Can the Dawn Army actually get something like this?"

The few people were stunned for quite a while, thinking it's no wonder the Dawn Army can eliminate zombies. With this kind of artefact, no zombie stands a chance.

Upon returning, they must inform the alliance and definitely shouldn't attack Dawn City.

Even if they intend to fight, the cannon must be blown up first; otherwise, there's no chance of victory.

Ye Fan met this group in the Main City District.

Right in front of the Dawn Restaurant under construction, the two sides completed the transaction.

Ye Fan accepted a large bag on his side, which was full of gold, silver, and jewelry.

The quantity of jewelry far exceeded the gold and silver, and upon opening, it glittered brilliantly, dazzling to the eyes.

For the survivors, it was simpler. The armored vehicle from before was loaded with many weapons, all of which they previously left behind.

"Thank you, Leader Ye Fan, for keeping your promise."

After the transaction was completed, Wang Dashan expressed gratitude, then his face turned solemn.

"The transaction is now complete, and according to our agreement, our relationship is restored to normal. When does Leader Ye plan to join the Survivor Alliance?"

Initially, both sides had an agreement that after completing the transaction and paying 500 kilograms of gold, the Dawn Army could join the alliance.

Now, Wang Dashan wanted to seize this point to force the Dawn Army to join the alliance.

If Ye Fan did not agree, the Dawn Army would be without reason and morality.

The alliance could legitimately raise the banner of punishing the Dawn Army without worrying about criticism.

Ye Fan chuckled slightly: "Join the alliance, sure."

"So the leader agrees?"

"I just said it's possible, but I didn't say I agreed."

"What does Leader Ye mean?"

"It's simple. Joining the alliance is possible, but not in the way you imagine. You've seen the strength of our Dawn Army; you could say none of your families can compare. If I am to join the alliance, then the Zhang Brothers of the Wangbei Army must step down; otherwise, it's not negotiable."

Wang Dashan was furious upon hearing Ye Fan's words.

This kid has such ambition, wanting to become the alliance's Commander-in-Chief.

"Leader Ye! Isn't this too arrogant? The Dawn Army has just over two thousand people, while our alliance has a full hundred thousand. How could you qualify to be Commander-in-Chief?"

"Wang Dashan, think clearly before speaking. In these times, it's those with strong fists and guns who have the voice. If any family in the alliance refuses to accept, let's show what you've got. The Dawn Army is ready to engage!"

Wang Dashan's face turned red, his neck swelling, wanting to react but not daring to.

After all, he's on the Dawn Army's territory; he doesn't want to dig his own grave.

"Fine, I will report Leader Ye's words accurately to the alliance, and whether it's war or peace will be determined by the alliance. Let's go!"

Wang Dashan and his people left in an armored vehicle.

Ye Fan did not stop them; he just needed them to bring the message back to the alliance.

Once his current construction wave is complete, the alliance will be even less of a problem.

He opened the bag, revealing the jewelry inside.

"Beep beep... Precious metals and jewels detected, can be converted into System Money. Convert?

"Convert all."

"Conversion complete. Congratulations, Commander, you've gained 684,390 Money!"

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then became overjoyed.

This time, Zhang Xiaofei has truly won merit, suggesting using jewelry instead of gold. There's plenty of margin for deception here.

They may seem worthless, but for the Red Alert System, the value of jewelry is higher.

After all, in the game, the price of gem mines far exceeds that of gold mines.

The mining operation brings Ye Fan revenue every day, and he already has more than eighty thousand Money.

Adding in this revenue, Ye Fan's total Money has reached as high as 770,000!

This is faster than looting a jewelry store.

With the Money, it's immediately going to work.

Without further ado, Ye Fan's wind power plant can be constructed immediately.

He opened the Red Alert's building page and selected the option for a Power Plant.

The cost for the wind power plant is fifty thousand Gold.

In fact, Ye Fan could also build another thermal power plant, but currently, the Dawn Army doesn't have much coal, so a wind power plant is more cost-effective.

A few hours later, the wind power plant was completed.

Ye Fan went next to the thermal power plant and placed the wind power plant.

Unlike the large plant and big chimneys of thermal power plants, the wind power plant covers a smaller area.

The site is a square courtyard filled with high-voltage lines and transformers.

It has a control room and generators, but these are not the main features.

The main feature is that there are many wind turbine units appearing in the mountains behind it.

These are the giant fan blades.

The location of these wind turbines is optimal, extending along the mountain ridge, and they can't be seen from the base here.

In the northern high mountains, the wind is stronger, and all the electricity is used to attack Dawn City, unlike before when it had to supply thousands of households, so currently, the electricity supply is definitely sufficient.

When the large wind turbines started spinning, Ye Fan saw a change in the energy grid on the system page.

Green indicates sufficient power, yellow indicates a power shortage, and completely turning red indicates a power outage.

Previously, it was mostly red, with only a few yellow grids.

Now that the wind power plant is completed, these grids have basically all turned green.

The wind power plant has relatively few employees, only about a dozen, all managed by the Logistics Team, and not part of the regular combat unit's organization.

After completing the wind power plant, Ye Fan still had seven hundred and twenty thousand Gold in his hands.

He wanted to invest five hundred thousand Gold in one go to build the Air Command.

In the game, the Air Command is also a very important element.

With the Air Command, the Red Alert Team can deploy an Air Force.

At the current stage, not even two months into the post-apocalyptic era, having an Air Force almost means invincibility.

If not for extorting the Survivor Alliance for this money, Ye Fan didn't know when he could build an airport.

He clicked to manufacture.

"Confirm construction of Air Command, costing five hundred thousand Gold. It will take eighty-three hours. Please be patient, Commander."

Indeed, this is a Gold-guzzling project, taking over three days to complete.

However, Ye Fan could wait; after construction, he still had two hundred and twenty thousand Gold left.

Ye Fan did not spend this money. With the Air Force, there definitely need to be Air Force units, so he kept the money to see what he could manufacture.

Mei City.

Airport Base.

In the Coal City Region, there are two bases, and the people inside consider themselves superior.

One is the Airport Base, and the other is the Hot Spring Base.

Most of the survivors at the Airport Base were passengers, and those who could afford to fly naturally weren't too poor.

And those who went to soak in hot springs at the Hot Spring Base were naturally of some status as well.

After the apocalypse, these two bases became incompatible with several others. Qin Yumo of the Airport and Dai Yu of the Hot Spring also had strained relations with the other leaders.

When Ye Fan was around, these conflicts hadn't yet manifested too severely.

Now that Ye Fan has left, the conflicts at the Coal City Base erupted.

After Xing Hai's death, a new leader named Hu Yuan emerged from the Daqing Mountain Base.

This person was stronger than Xing Hai and more astute, gradually integrating several factions.

Once the forces were mostly integrated, Hu Yuan immediately took action, forming an alliance to attack the Airport Base and the Hot Spring Base.

Except for Chen Hao of Da Wangzhuang, who did not participate in this attack, the other bases with new leaders did participate.

The Airport is ablaze with war!

Qin Yumo, clad in black leather, wielding a submachine gun, led the core members of the Airport in fierce resistance, but they were outnumbered.

They retreated repeatedly, not even having the chance to board a plane, eventually retreating outside the Airport.

"Leader Qin, we can't hold out any longer."

"There are too many of them. Let's retreat. As long as the green mountains remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. We can return once we're stable."

Qin Yumo's eyes were slightly red: "Where can we retreat to?"

A figure flashed in her mind at this moment.

Unfortunately, that person had already left Mei City, whereabouts unknown.

"How about we go to the Hot Spring Base?"

Qin Yumo shook her head: "It's no use. When we were under attack, I just spoke with Dai Yu of the Hot Spring, and they were under attack too. Hu Yuan from Daqing Mountain intends to uproot us and unify Coal City."

"If the Hot Spring Base isn't an option, we can only head to Da Wangzhuang. Chen Hao didn't participate in the attack, so he should still be trustworthy."

"Alright, we can only go there."

Qin Yumo and others got into a car and drove out of the Airport Base.

Hu Yuan didn't catch Qin Yumo; to him, Qin Yumo and the others were already insignificant.

By capturing the Airport Base, he would have aerial power.

Now, the only relatively large survivor base in Coal City is Chen Hao's in Dazhuang Village.

Once he and his people have control over aircraft, he plans to unify Coal City and then expand to the surroundings.
