After leaving the trading market, Ye Fan gave Shen Ruihui a task.

Go buy New Year's goods.

Ye Fan handed him a very long list, asking Shen Ruihui to purchase gifts and send them to his parents.

Shen Ruihui gladly accepted this task.

But after walking for a while, he thought the commander might have forgotten something.

He only got a list, but no contribution points.

Did he have to pay in advance?

Shen Ruihui didn't dare to speak up, nor did he dare to ask. He could only take the list to the market to buy things.

After making a round, it was quite a coincidence that he spent all the contribution points on his ID card, not a penny left.

Before Ye Fan reimbursed him for this money, he could only eat with the soldiers in the military camp cafeteria.

********

Amidst the anticipation of the people, the New Year arrived.

It's been almost half a year since the apocalypse began, and people finally welcomed the New Year.

This New Year has a special significance. Being able to happily pass this year proves that everyone has stood firm in the apocalypse.

Crackle~~~!!!

In the early morning, there was the sound of firecrackers in Dawn City.

Some children ran and played on the streets, occasionally lighting a small firecracker and throwing it, exploding in the air.

Adults dressed the children in brand-new clothes.

Some children lost their parents during the apocalypse, but now they have many parents.

Those parents who lost children were very willing to adopt a child to accompany them during the apocalypse.

Some families are temporarily formed, but they remain warm and harmonious.

Colored pennant strings were hung on the streets, and large red woven knots were hung on the roadside lampposts.

Little pine trees were planted in the snow, hung with colored lights, although they hadn't been lit yet, waiting for the evening.

In the newly built Dawn Theater, there's a performance tonight.

The elders in Dawn City are familiar with these performers. The last time, the ones who came to assassinate Ye Fan were these people.

However, the masterminds have all been captured, and these people are innocent performers.

They have now become part of Dawn City, organized by the logistics department, preparing to present a small song and dance performance for everyone.

At that time, Dawn TV Station will broadcast the entire performance.

Today, there is another channel added to the television.

The TV station of Hai Shan Wei.

Following Dawn City and the Liberation Army, the third to set up a TV station was Li Yuntian from Oil City. However, Hai Shan Wei seemed not so proficient in this aspect, capturing the city first but only completing the signal tower setup today, formally able to broadcast programs.

Ye Fan believed that other provinces must have also established TV stations, but due to the large territory of Qin Han, their signal towers couldn't receive signals from other provinces.

Every TV station broadcasts relatively joyous programs.

However, these programs are all past ones, as they haven't had the energy to prepare new programs to entertain the public.

In this regard, Dawn City is ahead.

Ye Fan went to the army's combat laboratory early in the morning.

The engineers in the combat laboratory brought him new surprises once again.

With Luo Jiaxin, a Hero Level engineer here, they constantly achieve groundbreaking technological advancements.

Today, Luo Jiaxin told Ye Fan in the morning that there would be a surprise for him.

When Ye Fan arrived, Luo Jiaxin happily greeted him inside.

"Commander, we've been working day and night, based on evolutionary theory, zombie virus, human genes, combined with our powerful Red Alert Technology, and finally developed something good."

"What good thing?"

"Intelligent Chip!"

"Oh! What's it used for?"

Luo Jiaxin clapped hands, and a few people walked out of the room.

Ye Fan looked at these people and found that they were all those Level 2 Evolvers who came to assassinate him last time.

Including former star Xu Weiwei, these people came before Ye Fan and saluted him together.

"Soul-Seeking Mandala Xu Weiwei reporting to the commander!"

"Snow Mountain Eagle Feng Qi reporting to the commander!"

"Jiangbei Tiger Qiao Lie reporting to the commander!"

"Five-step Snake You Sisi reporting to the commander!"

"Deadly Clown Wang Buhuan reporting to the commander!"

Ye Fan was too familiar with the look in their eyes; it was the look of Red Alert Units, facing him as the Commander, as if facing a god in their hearts.

But they weren't Red Alert Units, which made the matter interesting.

"How was it done?" he asked Luo Jiaxin.

"Commander, this is credit to the chip. As long as the chip is implanted into them, they will fully accept the control of our system. Although they essentially remain themselves, their souls have been implanted with a belief in eternal loyalty to the Commander. Now, even if you order them to die, they would do so without hesitation."

This ability reminded Ye Fan of a special unit from Red Alert.

That is Yuri.

Yuri can be said to be the strongest soldier unit, and not without reason. His skill is mind control, able to turn anyone into a member of the Red Alert Units.

It seems the Red Alert Technology mentioned by Luo Jiaxin includes elements of mind control, only this is done through chip implantation.

"Heh, interesting, this is quite something."

An infinite imagination sparked within Ye Fan's mind. If he could control people with special identities, many things would become much more efficient.

Luo Jiaxin continued, "Commander, these people have a deep understanding of this post-apocalyptic world, and also know some things we don't. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. They will ensure nothing is withheld."

Ye Fan asked them, "Do you know any secrets about Guo Zhun?"

The others were at a loss, only Xu Weiwei spoke up, "Commander, Guo Zhun indeed has secrets, but we don't know what they are specifically. He has a radio receiver that no one else can use. Guo Zhun often uses the radio to communicate with people alone, and it seems someone is supporting his Liberation Army's rapid development."

"Are you sure?"

"Certain. Many of his technical personnel, like pilots, tank drivers, military instructors, we aren't clear on their origins. Without support, it would be difficult for him to achieve this."

Hearing this, Ye Fan felt a slight tremor in his heart.

There seemed to be something deeply hidden behind Xu Weiwei's words, but the information he had was too scarce to make any guesses.

This news also served as a reminder to Ye Fan that things in this world may not be as simple as they appear on the surface.

Nonetheless, Ye Fan was fearless. As long as he possessed this system and had money, with his increasingly powerful strength, he would surely reveal all the monsters and demons.

Although Ye Fan's strength at this moment was not lacking in the combat power of Level 2 Evolvers, these Level 2 Evolvers could be absolutely trusted.

Should there be a day when a third-level evolution occurs, these people will be the first choice.

"Alright, you all head to the party tonight, it's one of your old trades after all."

"Yes!"

The few left the Combat Laboratory, now free, yet forever deprived of their freedom.

Luo Jiaxin continued to introduce to Ye Fan, "Commander, we also attempted to control the Mutated Zombie King Huining."

"Oh! Can it be controlled?"

"Yes, it's controlled, although the control is slightly weaker than with normal humans, but there shouldn't be any issues."

As she spoke, Luo Jiaxin brought out Wang Huining.

Unlike others, Wang Huining did not report to the Commander but came forward to salute Ye Fan, his eyes still crimson.

"Wang Huining, do you think you can contribute to Dawn City? Having contributions proves your value, otherwise, there's no need for your existence."

Wang Huining immediately said, "Commander, I can make contributions. Isn't there a zombie attacking the city? I can help you control many zombies and launch an attack against the besieging zombies, isn't using zombies against zombies the best approach?"

A faint light shone in Ye Fan's eyes; what he said made sense.

Given that Wang Huining was already controlled by the chip, Ye Fan didn't mind letting him out to have a try.

"Alright, from now on you leave Dawn City, go out and gather zombie hordes. It's estimated that Zombie Army will arrive at Dawn City's gates in two or three days. Until then, control as many as you can, but keep in mind, do not harm other survivors, or I'll utterly destroy you."

"Understood, Commander, but my abilities are somewhat weak....."

Ye Fan motioned to Luo Jiaxin, who then injected Wang Huining with a bit more zombie virus.

Wang Huining's zombification was at only thirty percent, now gradually returning to sixty percent after injection.

Sixty percent zombification is the state he was in when he first arrived at Dawn City, during which Wang Huining could control a zombie horde of 300,000.

Ye Fan waved his hand, and someone came forward to escort Wang Huining out.

Ye Fan had already issued commands, Wang Huining would not defy Ye Fan's orders, and he was sent out of Dawn City.

With this unique soldier, Ye Fan believed it could play a significant role at the crucial moment.

"Your technology is impressive!"

Ye Fan patted Luo Jiaxin on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Commander, I only delve a bit into evolution. If you wish to make progress in system technology, it would be best to produce another Hero Level Engineer, otherwise, the development of the Giant Cannon is a bit slow."

"Alright, I overlooked this aspect, I'll equip you with a new Engineer right away."

This time, Ye Fan called upon the first Engineer from the Red Alert System, Wang Shun.

Wang Shun specializes in the research and development of vehicle machinery and other related technologies. Ye Fan sent him to the Army Heroic Battalion, spending ten thousand Gold, and after a while a new Heroic Engineer was born.

Now the Combat Laboratory had two Heroic Engineers, sure to bring Ye Fan endless surprises.

Leaving the Combat Laboratory, Ye Fan received a call from Ye Luo.

"Brother! The Company Commander you appointed sent a lot of New Year's goods, was it on your command?"

"Haha, yes, it was me, but he's very generous, he paid for everything."

"Hehe, really a good guy, mom and dad have already prepared a big table of dishes, come home!"

"Alright, on my way."

Ye Fan walked out of the core area, Dawn City was already enveloped in the sound of firecrackers.

On the street, some people were rushing home with New Year's goods to prepare dinner, people at the marketplace were packing up.

The delivery guys also finished work, ready to head home with drinks in hand, excitedly greeted Ye Fan when they saw him.

"Hello Leader!"

"Good, good, all good."

Ye Fan exchanged greetings with people, and as the cold wind brushed his face, he felt warm inside.
