Wasteland Commander

Chapter 129: Clinging to a Powerful Backer


Looking at this convoy, Ye Fan felt a sense of familiarity.

One of the SUVs seemed to be from the Dazhuang Village Base, belonging to Chen Hao.

He knew Chen Hao from the Coal City survivor trade conference.

Chen Hao was a decent person, not having become ruthless in this post-apocalyptic chaos, and he treated his men well, so Ye Fan took good care of him that time.

After all, the supplies Chen Hao obtained at that trade conference should have been enough to help him through the winter, so why had he come here in such a sorry state?

And what was with the appearance of being pursued?

The convoy consisted of dozens of vehicles, seemingly with hundreds of people. What kind of power could be chasing them?

Now, the plane was quite a distance from the convoy. Although Ye Fan had good eyesight, he still couldn't confirm if it was Chen Hao.

"Have the people over at the convoy noticed us yet?"

"Sir, they probably haven't. Even if someone looked at the sky, they'd at most just see a small black dot."

"Fly back a bit, don't let them spot us. Notify the base to send out a Fierce Dragon Vehicle and bring Xiaotian, so we can meet them about fifty kilometers from the base."

"Understood!"

After notifying the base, a Fierce Dragon Vehicle immediately set out with a squad of soldiers and Xiaotian, while the helicopter began flying back.

A while later, the helicopter met the Fierce Dragon Vehicle, and Ye Fan disembarked with a few others.

He had the helicopter land behind a nearby forest to hide it, and Ye Fan got into the vehicle.

"Let's wait here for a bit, they'll be here soon."

After another twenty minutes or so, a cloud of dust appeared as the fleeing convoy arrived.

Ye Fan's Fierce Dragon Vehicle was parked on the road, patiently waiting for them to come.

When the first vehicle entered Ye Fan's view, he immediately confirmed his guess.

Sure enough, it was Chen Hao's car!

The guy's car looked rather battered, as if it had just been through a fierce battle.

Behind his car were two others closely following, and then a long line of vehicles behind them.

Seeing the Fierce Dragon Vehicle parked on the road, the first car screeched to a halt.

A person jumped out of the car, wearing a look of surprise on their face, none other than Chen Hao.

Seeing it was Chen Hao, Ye Fan first had the soldiers get off the vehicle with Xiaotian.

The purpose of bringing Xiaotian was clear—to confirm whether they had any hostile intent.

Ye Fan knew his own importance, and if he could avoid taking risks, he would.

After Xiaotian confirmed it was safe, Ye Fan got out of the car.

Seeing Ye Fan, Chen Hao excitedly ran over to his side, "Haha, Boss Ye! We meet again, just seeing this dog, I knew it had to be you."

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling that sometimes Shen Ruihui's words weren't too hard to listen to.

He hugged Chen Hao briefly, "Chen Hao, what's going on with you? Why do you look like you're fleeing?"

"Sigh, Boss Ye, you have to stand up for us. We're truly at our wits' end, so we had no choice but to come to you."

More people got out from the two cars behind.

A beautiful woman in a black leather outfit, dusty but naturally stunning, none other than Qin Yumo, the leader of the Coal City Airport Base.

And a person with a cowboy hat and double pistols at their waist, none other than Dai Yu from the Hot Spring Base.

The two of them walked over, also quite pleased with this sudden reunion, greeting Ye Fan warmly.

"Leader Ye."

"Hello, Leader Ye!"

Ye Fan remembered these two. During the survivor trade conference, they still knew to assess the situation and backed out in time; otherwise, they might have been gunned down by his machine guns.

As for these two, Ye Fan held a somewhat favorable impression, at least knowing they had a sense of discretion.

Chen Hao glanced at the vehicle behind Ye Fan, a vehicle he recognized.

When he first met Ye Fan, Ye Fan was driving this Fierce Dragon.

He tentatively asked, "Leader Ye, how are you faring nowadays?"

"So-so, it's about the same."

Chen Hao smiled, a bit forced, while Qin Yumo and Dai Yu looked slightly disappointed.

This only made Ye Fan more curious; was the strength he had shown before not enough?

"What exactly happened? Why are you heading toward Huacheng? It looks like you've been in a fight?"

Chen Hao gave a wry smile, "Leader Ye, to be honest, we're here to seek refuge with you. As for our bases, they're no longer ours."

"Oh, tell me more."

Chen Hao continued, "After you left Coal City, a person named Hu Yuan took over at Daqing Mountain Prison. He was originally a prisoner, and not a good person, behaving even worse than Xing Hai."

"They ran to the guard team, grinding away for nearly twenty days, wiped out the nearby zombies, got weapon supplies, and their strength increased several times."

"They issued us an ultimatum, demanding unconditional surrender. We didn't agree, so they suddenly joined forces with other factions and took down Leader Qin's Airport Base and Leader Dai's Hot Spring Base. The two of them led their people to me, but soon after, our Dazhuang Village Base was also taken down by them."

"These people intend to eradicate us, so we had no choice but to run. My men fought desperately to buy us time, but I suspect they're already close."

"Oh, they can catch up to you?"

"They have planes, ah, the airport was suddenly attacked, and all three helicopters became theirs. This time they ambushed us, the helicopters came first and opened fire."

Qin Yumo also spoke up at this time: "Someone at our airport betrayed us, some pilots joined them, and now we basically have no power to fight back."

Hot Spring's Dai Yu said angrily, "We managed to modify a heavy truck into an armored vehicle, but the driver was also bribed, and we were completely defeated."

Ye Fan was stunned: "You manufacture armored vehicles by yourselves?"

"Uh... the modification wasn't very good, it might be a bit shabby."

Ye Fan chuckled: "And then you planned to come to me."

"Yes, Coal City is no longer a place for us to stand, so we can only ask Leader Ye to take us in."

Ye Fan looked at them and some of their subordinates in the distance.

The strength of these people was not weak, most of them were combat personnel.

Moreover, there were as many as a dozen Evolvers among them.

Among the survivors who came to the Dawn Army, there were already some Evolvers.

It's just that Ye Fan didn't think much of Evolvers.

He wasn't sure if Evolvers could undergo a second evolution, but the strength of an Evolver who had only evolved once was not outstanding.

In a one-on-one fight, they were only as strong as his Three-star Soldiers, and in marksmanship, they might not even compare.

As for loyalty, there was no need to mention it, no one could compare to Red Alert Warriors.

So in other places, Evolvers were treasures, but for Ye Fan, they were dispensable.

However, if Evolvers could undergo second or even third evolutions, that would be different.

The reason Ye Fan captured Wang Huining, this zombie leader, was to research the secret of evolution.

He predicted that once some forces established themselves, they might all want to conduct research on this, and then the value of Evolvers would be high.

This time, such a large group of people came to seek refuge, including many Evolvers, and since they were well-known, Ye Fan had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, since that's the case, then you should continue driving forward for about fifty kilometers, and you'll see our base."

Before Chen Hao could say anything, a warrior in the Fierce Dragon Vehicle suddenly reported: "Commander, we've spotted three planes heading our way."

Now their position was still within the base's radar range, even though they were fifty kilometers away, but fifty kilometers was road distance, not a straight line distance.

Upon hearing the soldier's words, the survivor convoy immediately panicked.

Qin Yumo's face turned pale: "It's over, they're coming after us. Those three planes have been modified, equipped with machine guns; we have no chance of winning."

Chen Hao's expression was also grim, and he said to Ye Fan: "Leader Ye, you should run quickly, this is our problem, we don't want to drag you into it. We'll turn back now and ensure not to expose your base."

Ye Fan waved a hand: "Since you're here, how can you just leave like this? Well then, everyone keep moving forward, I'll find someone to deal with them."

Qin Yumo glared at Ye Fan: "Why are you being so reckless? I know you have a heavy machine gun, but can a heavy machine gun shoot up in the sky? Can it shoot down a plane?"

Before Ye Fan could reply, Shen Ruihui nearby lightly snickered: "It seems this little girl has no idea what our commander is best at."

Ye Fan glanced at Xiaotian, and Xiaotian immediately tugged at Shen Ruihui's pants, dragging him onto the Fierce Dragon Vehicle.

At this moment, three small black dots had already appeared on the horizon.

The three pursuing planes would arrive in a few minutes.

Ye Fan immediately asked Nana in his mind: "Is the Combat Helicopter ready?"

"Commander, it's almost complete."

"Good, have the Combat Helicopter fly southeast to support me."

"Yes, commander, it will take about ten minutes."

Ye Fan immediately called everyone to get in the car: "Everyone, there's no time to dawdle, let's get in the car and run, maybe a miracle will happen."

Everyone reluctantly got in the car, and Chen Hao and a few others were pulled into Ye Fan's car.

The vehicles quickly headed in the direction of the Dawn Army Base.

The convoy behind followed closely.

Ye Fan ordered Bi Jinbang to get the helicopter airborne and entangle the enemy for a while.

Bi Jinbang received the order and flew up from the woods behind.

The departing convoy saw the Female Deer helicopter.

Qin Yumo froze for a moment.

"This helicopter... is yours?"

Ye Fan smiled slightly: "I apologize for the embarrassment."

The three people in the car were a bit stunned.

Seeing Ye Fan only had one Fierce Dragon, they thought Ye Fan was still the same as before, so they were desperate.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fan actually had a plane, giving them hope again.

Chen Hao even hugged Ye Fan's leg: "Leader Ye, I always believed in you, hugging your leg this time, I'm not letting go."

Dai Yu seemed to want to do the same, but he wasn't as thick-skinned as Chen Hao and hesitated.

Qin Yumo was different from the two of them; she was more rational. Even though Ye Fan's side had a plane, she had previously led a base with three helicopters.

Qin Yumo was a woman with principles and aspirations; even if she were to rely on someone, it would be the strongest one. Ye Fan's strength hadn't reached that level yet.
