The morning temperature in Luqi Province made Ye Fan feel a bit lazy and unwilling to wake up.

He now somewhat understood why some elder migratory birds in the north would choose to go south when winter approached.

Just like the red-crowned cranes and white swans migrate, when people have the means to choose, they all yearn for warmth and sunlight.

Although Luqi Province isn't truly the south, compared to the extreme cold of the north, it's undoubtedly a more suitable environment for humans to live.

It's just that the rented bed is a bit large, making Ye Fan feel somewhat empty.

Waking up in the morning, the guard outside the door was still diligently standing watch.

Currently, Ye Fan had two guards, Shen Ruihui as the Guard Company Commander, it was his duty without question.

Zhuge Yunxue was the personal guard, also doing her duty without question.

Shen Ruihui was in charge for the first half of the night, Zhuge Yunxue for the second half.

When it was Zhuge Yunxue's shift, Ye Fan had thought female comrades shouldn't work too hard. If she wanted to come over and squeeze in, Ye Fan wouldn't mind.

But the female comrade was still shy, never proactively asking to come, which slightly comforted yet saddened Ye Fan.

Upon waking up in the morning, his men had already gathered.

Ye Fan looked at his Red Alert Soldiers.

Having arrived at the Heavy Truck Corps base and gained the status of an Adventurer Squad, all barriers restricting Ye Fan were removed.

In the coming period, Ye Fan planned to poke a hole in the sky here.

First, within the rules allowed by the other side, Ye Fan intended to play big.

The rules set by the Heavy Truck Corps were clear: Adventurer Squads are allowed to collect resources outside, but a fifth of the resources collected must be paid to the corps as tax.

But this rule was of little constraint to Ye Fan because he had the Commander's pouch.

The Captain Level pouch already had a storage space of thirty cubic meters.

Aside from a few hundred barrels of diesel, inside were only some Mutant Beast Meat and some firearms.

So there was still a lot of space, and Ye Fan could store all the good things he collected in the pouch without having to turn them over to the Heavy Truck Corps.

Therefore, the first thing Ye Fan did upon waking up was not to head straight to the trading market but to find a local.

This task was handed over to Company Commander Shen, the most capable person.

Company Commander Shen, in less than five minutes, brought back a person who had been knocked out.

"Sir, don't worry about him being unconscious. A bucket of water will wake him right up," Shen Ruihui said smugly to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was somewhat speechless, thinking maybe he overestimated Company Commander Shen's abilities.

This guy was just a loose cannon, approaching every problem at 180 kilometers per hour.

Even if he runs straight into a tree, his mind doesn't change course quickly.

"Alright, then wake him up."

Shen Ruihui went over and shook the neck of the survivor twice: "Sir, this guy is a thief. I saw him outside and knocked him out with one punch. With people like this, you can't be polite. When you're about to choke him to death, he'll definitely wake up."

It worked somehow.

In less than a minute, the thief coughed violently and woke up, desperately trying to struggle.

"When our officer asks you something, you answer truthfully. Don't try any tricks, or you'll be choked to death. Got it?"

The thief nodded desperately, afraid that if he nodded too slowly, he'd be choked to death.

Shen Ruihui released his hand, and after about ten seconds, as he tried to take more time, Shen Ruihui kicked him again, and he dared not delay any longer, reluctantly speaking to Ye Fan: "Boss, ask whatever you want."

Ye Fan bowed his head, "I ask you, where nearby are there places with gold shops or places where there's a lot of gold? You absolutely mustn't keep it secret."

"I'll tell, I'll tell....."

The thief hastily began to speak: "Boss, our Heavy Truck Corps' base is in the tourist area. There used to be gold here, but later all the gold was taken away by the Heavy Truck Corps. They have a treasury, which is the place with the most gold."

"Oh! A treasury?"

Ye Fan's interest was immediately piqued, with a ghostly green light emerging from his left eye.

The thief originally intended to scare Ye Fan, hoping he would back down. But seeing Ye Fan's reaction didn't look like he was scared at all.

And not only Ye Fan, but all the other Red Alert Soldiers had similar expressions.

They knew the importance of gold to Ye Fan, to the entire Dawn Army, each with eyes glowing, obviously very interested in the Heavy Truck Corps' treasury.

The thief was a bit dumbstruck: "You..... you're not serious, are you? That's a capital offense! Don't drag me into it. I'm just a small fry trying to survive, I can't handle such a big deal....."

Ye Fan also knew that even if the Heavy Truck Corps had a treasury, his current strength was not enough to take it.

If the Heavy Truck Corps were next to Dawn City, no problem, Ye Fan would send a wave of troops and flatten it. But now, with just about thirty people, attempting to challenge the more than nine thousand people of the Heavy Truck Corps was obviously unrealistic.

Ye Fan couldn't raise an army here either because he had to return to the north, a long journey, and raising an army posed a return issue.

Only when he has more money in hand and it doesn't affect the northern battle, can he unleash a certain scale of elite soldiers, and possibly take down the Heavy Truck Corps' treasury.

Wiping away the tears at the corner of his mouth, Ye Fan said to the thief, "It's nothing, don't think too much, just tell me what you know. Where nearby is there a place with a lot of gold?"

The thief steadied his mind, "In that case, I think it's best to go to Jindu County for gold."

Ye Fan squinted his eyes at the thief, "As far as I know, there are also Sea Monsters over in Jindu County, right?"

"Uh... yes, indeed there are Sea Monsters over there in Jindu, but the county is so big, there are still many places not near the sea. It's just that there are a lot of zombies in those places, and I suppose you're afraid to go there."

Ye Fan chuckled, "Do you know the distribution locations of the places with gold in Jindu County? For example, those upstairs, not near the ground floor or the street?"

That was Ye Fan's plan; to get gold, you have to go to places upstairs. Too many zombies are on the ground floor and streets; there's no way for these thirty or so people to launch a frontal assault.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, the thief, who initially wanted to scare him a bit, cried miserably, "No way, are you serious? You even dare to consider those jewelry stores upstairs? Even the Heavy Truck Corps find it hard to reach those places..."

Before he could finish, Company Commander Shen slapped him hard: "Stop the bullshit. Answer what's asked, know if you know, don't know if you don't. People who know nothing are only fit to feed dogs!"

The thief was completely scared of Shen Ruihui. With Ye Fan, he seemed like there was some reasoning to be had, but this guy beside him, who seemed a bit of a hormonal mess, possibly with some unfulfilled desires leading to psychological issues, had a clear violent streak.

"Okay, okay, I won't hold back, I'll tell, I'll tell everything."

The thief immediately revealed the locations of several jewelry stores in Jindu.

Most gold stores in Jindu are on the ground floor, in storefronts; there aren't many in tall buildings.

If you're not a local, you absolutely won't know the locations of gold stores.

"In Jindu, there's also a Gold Museum. There's at least several tons of gold items on display there. Even the Heavy Truck Corps have their eyes on it, but they don't have the strength to take it because it's in a bustling commercial area."

The thief explained once, and Ye Fan understood.

He'd heard of the Gold Museum before, one of the largest gold storage locations of Qin Han.

But for now, Ye Fan had no intention of rashly attacking there, nor would he be led by this thief's words.

"You don't need to get any funny ideas; you must follow us when we collect gold. I will have my men tie you every time we advance. If you deliberately lead us to some densely packed zombie areas, then sorry, you'll be zombie food to help my men escape."

The thief was almost in tears, realizing that this group was as rotten as their leader, no wonder the subordinates were like this.

Now that he found a local who knew the area, Ye Fan wasted no time.

He immediately ordered the men to split into two groups.

One group, led by Shen Ruihui, had two large trucks under his command, responsible for setting up a stall at the market.

The other group would all follow Ye Fan to Golden City.

After the division of tasks, Shen Ruihui pouted, went to the market to hire drivers, place goods, and get familiar with the area.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan personally led the rest, pulling the thief along, driving away from the Heavy Truck Corps camp.

In the car, the thief kept saying, "Boss, it seems you're not familiar with the situation here. To get to Jindu, it's still three or four hundred kilometers away, and the road isn't easy to travel. It would take at least three or four days to go back and forth. So I'd advise you to change the route, it'd be better to go to....."

Before he could finish, the car had already reached the foot of the mountain.

A helicopter was parked by the roadside.

"Get out, onto the helicopter!"

Ye Fan directly brought the thief out, and the group boarded the helicopter.

It wasn't until the helicopter took off that the thief realized what kind of extraordinary entity this Dawn Squad in front of him was.

"You...how...?"

"Stop the nonsense, do what you're supposed to do, and I'll guarantee your personal safety, otherwise..."

Ye Fan said a sentence, then closed his eyes.

The military dog Xiaotian came next to the thief, squatting there almost two meters tall, with the menacing aura of a ferocious beast pressing on him, making the thief feel he'd have been better off coming in a diaper.

The helicopter flew forward, gradually approaching Jindu County.

"Tell me, where's the nearest gold store?"

"Uh... up ahead, there's a mall, and on the top floor, there's a jewelry store."

Ye Fan waved his hand, and the helicopter hovered directly above the top floor.

Checking with the radar, there were about four hundred zombies inside the top floor.

"Prepare to act!"

At the command, paratroopers and special forces began their air insertion!

Solders rapidly descended, landing on the mall's top floor.

Ye Fan also unfolded his cape and slid directly off the helicopter.

This was the first action in Jindu, and he intended to participate personally!
