After seeing the count of his soldiers, Ye Fan had already decided to upgrade.

The problem now was that there was no place to set up buildings here, and after upgrading, the soldiers would have no Barracks to reside in.

Fortunately, this was not the north; the climate was not that cold, and the soldiers could survive by finding any building.

The surrounding areas of the Heavy Truck Corps were not suitable. This was Shannan, and within a five-kilometer radar radius, there was no place available for use either.

Ye Fan needed to go out and find a suitable location to station troops.

He woke up early the next morning and first went to the stall area.

Overnight, Ye Fan seemed to have become a celebrity.

The people around looked at him, their gazes complex.

The most common was fear, awe.

Of course, many also thought that Ye Fan might not end well, and the base would surely deal with him.

However, no one dared to say anything, as Ye Fan was still standing here just fine.

This was skill; everyone knew he did it, yet there was nothing they could do about it.

Ye Fan knew that now setting up a stall would definitely not be a problem; no one would come to harass him anymore.

Moreover, Ye Fan would soon have resources. Although Gold was not easy to collect, Shen Ruihui had already taken the newly produced team and started action.

Gathering some resources around them was not difficult; they could always find a few vehicles, pull the resources back nearby, and then his own people could take over.

Just as he was about to leave the market to find a residence for the soldiers, Ye Fan saw Lawson again.

Lawson seemed to be taking people out to collect resources, leading a convoy that passed by and stopped when he saw Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan."

"Lawson."

The two met, and Ye Fan suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh, look at my memory, I should call you Giant Stone Lawson."

Lawson chuckled: "As long as you remember, that's fine. But I have something to discuss with you."

Ye Fan got into Lawson's vehicle, and Lawson said seriously to Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, this time things might have blown up."

"Oh, tell me."

"Mu Haiyang is envious of you, me, and Zhao Xiaoman. They might think that last night's incident was done by our three families joined forces, because both Zhao Xiaoman and I got civilian helicopters, which is one of his suspicions."

Ye Fan remained silent; some things were better left unsaid, everyone understood without needing to state it.

"Previously, Mu Haiyang always saw Zhao Xiaoman as taboo, but Zhao Xiaoman didn't care for him at all. According to what we know, Mu Haiyang might make a move against us soon."

"Do you know approximately when?"

"The exact timing is not very clear, but it should be before the New Year."

Now, there was a little over a month left until Qin Han's lunar New Year, so that meant Mu Haiyang would act in no more than a month.

Ye Fan nodded slightly: "I understand. I won't stand idly by."

Lawson licked his lips: "Ye Fan, this time we have to pull together. I've already talked to Zhao Xiaoman, and although the combined strength of our three families might not be a match for Mu Haiyang, we are not pushovers either. If Mu Haiyang makes a move, we will turn this place upside down."

Ye Fan said: "I started this, so I'll take responsibility."

"Hey! What do you mean you started it? Even without you, Mu Haiyang would still make a move against us. This is just a trigger. When the time comes, remember, once the battle begins, seize the opportunity to retreat with your people, and leave the rest to us."

Ye Fan remained silent, but Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman's words made him a bit moved.

But he didn't want to say much more. When the time came, everything would become clear naturally.

After chatting a bit more with Lawson, he left with his people.

Ye Fan also left the base with his men to find a suitable location.

********

Finding a suitable place to live wasn't easy.

The surroundings of Shannan had no suitable places and after going out, Ye Fan discovered that key locations such as airports had already been taken by the Heavy Truck Corps.

Finally, Ye Fan found a house in the suburb of Jindu County, and then he began to station troops there.

He needed 151 more people to upgrade, so Ye Fan decided to first produce an integrated company.

All kinds of vehicles were ready; a company had 130 people and cost about fifty thousand Gold.

With more than a dozen Barracks and four Tank Factories, the rate of stationing troops had greatly increased. In a little over two hours, 130 people appeared in front of Ye Fan.

All kinds of advanced units were fully equipped: Snipers, Scouts, Rocket Launchers, Flamethrowers, Heavy Machine Guns, and Armored Vehicles.

After producing this company, Ye Fan's total military strength had reached 3,970 people.

He first produced ten War Hawks because Ye Fan needed to understand the terrain and landform here, sending War Hawks out to scout.

Moreover, War Hawks were not counted in the official battle sequence, so producing more was no issue.

Once the War Hawks were released, Ye Fan produced another squad.

A squad had 32 people, and after producing them all, Ye Fan's total military strength had reached 4,002 people!

When 4,001 people were produced, the system notification sounded.

"Commander, the number of people under your command has exceeded the limit of a fully organized regiment. Rank successfully upgraded, new troop types unlocked, and a new package obtained. Please check it."

Ye Fan gently exhaled, finally, he had upgraded.

He immediately opened the Red Alert page, where a package was flashing in the lower right corner.

He took it out and opened it.

New things have appeared inside.

The first thing in front of him was his new uniform.

It's still a set of two clothes, including a cap, military boots, and a weapon belt, and even an additional pair of gloves.

The military rank has been promoted again, becoming a senior colonel.

Commander's Uniform: Possesses super-strong protective capabilities, significantly reducing frontal attacks from sniper rifles and heavy machine guns, and can greatly resist attacks from Level 2 Mutated Zombies.

In addition to the uniform, there is also a cloak, which has now been upgraded.

Commander's Cloak: Possesses super-strong protective capabilities and, when paired with the uniform, can completely resist attacks from sniper rifles, heavy machine guns, and Level 2 Mutated Zombies.

This clothing and cloak truly gave Ye Fan a huge surprise.

What is the most important in his Red Alert System?

His life, Ye Fan's life is the most important. As long as he is alive, even if his troops are defeated, he can rise again.

These two pieces of clothing undoubtedly provide him with great survival capability.

Even sniper rifles can't penetrate, Level 2 Zombies can't damage.

Doesn't that mean he can face King Kong Zombies and Crawlers head-on?

Aside from the uniform, next is the commander's pack.

Commander's Pack: Has a storage space of 100 cubic meters, with long-term preservation and permanent freezing capabilities, and can carry living organisms.

It was 30 cubic meters during the Captain Level, and this time it has been directly upgraded to one hundred.

The preservation and freezing functions are not surprising to Ye Fan; they were there before.

But the function to carry living organisms appeared for the first time.

100 cubic meters is almost equal to a small house. Ye Fan can even carry people with him.

When a person curls up, even one cubic meter of space is enough; Ye Fan can carry 100 soldiers with him without any problem.

The emergence of this function undoubtedly gives Ye Fan great emergency capacity in the future.

At a critical moment, suddenly having over a hundred people appear can definitely change the situation.

In the commander's medical kit, five vials of Antiviral Serum can save a person when zombification is 80% complete.

Ye Fan is very eager to see the function of the serum.

He's thinking about whether there will be a day when this serum can achieve 100% effectiveness.

If that happens, he could save some people who have already turned into zombies every day, which would indeed be a tremendous merit.

Besides these, there's also Ye Fan's sidearm.

This gun of his will no longer be replaced, just upgraded based on the existing model.

This time, the bullet capacity has reached 1000 rounds and has twenty grenades.

And there's an additional, more critical feature.

Electric shock!

Much like the electromagnetic gun of a Magnetic Storm Infantry, Ye Fan's gun can emit 10,000 volts of high voltage electricity, with a range of 40 meters, and can be continuously fired 20 times a day, with energy automatically restored at noon every day.

This data matches the initial data of the Magnetic Storm Infantry.

Thinking this way, Ye Fan suspects that his gun may become a universal weapon in the future; he's even eagerly anticipating what new features this gun will have with further upgrades.

The last one is Ye Fan's exclusive vehicle.

Ye Fan didn't find new car keys in his backpack.

"Nana, do I not have a new car?"

"Sir, your Bull Off-road Camper has also been modified. The vehicle has increased protection and is equipped with a 30mm automatic cannon, in addition to new amphibious off-road capabilities, currently located in Dawn City."

When they arrived, Ye Fan and the others flew over, so the vehicle didn't come along, and they can't see it now.

Although the modified Bull must be more powerful, the absence of a new vehicle still left Ye Fan slightly disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Nana spoke up again.

"Sir, you indeed have a new vehicle."

"Oh, where is it? I didn't see it. What kind of vehicle?"

"Once this vehicle appears, you'll have the ability to travel through various cities nationwide. This vehicle possesses powerful protection and firepower, and can transport a large number of soldiers or even vehicles at any time. Once you have it, you'll possess unparalleled military mobility."

Nana's introduction made Ye Fan's eyes shine: "Traveling nationwide, can even zombies not stop it?"

"They cannot."

Ye Fan was instantly overjoyed, he could not imagine what kind of vehicle could have such capabilities.

"Where is the vehicle? I want to see it."

"Please check your buildings page, there is an added building where the vehicle you need is produced."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan immediately opened the first option on the Red Alert page, the building option.

Upon opening it, sure enough, there was an additional building here, which had just been unlocked.

Military Train Station: Cost 200,000 Gold.

And inside this station there is a production option.

Armored Train: Cost 300,000 Gold!
