Two people, one meal, cost more than three hundred Light Yuan, this was definitely high consumption.

When it came time to pay, Shuang'Er had no money, so Ye Fan paid.

During this process, Ye Fan glanced at Shuang'Er, and Shuang'Er felt that Ye Fan was doubting her ability to repay, so in her pride, she immediately grabbed a banknote and directly gave Ye Fan an IOU note.

"Shuang'Er, owe Chen Bufan four hundred thirty thousand Light Yuan, will repay by tomorrow!"

Below was the date and signature, and after signing, she even pressed a fingerprint on it.

"I owe you a total of four hundred twenty thousand, adding in the money for meals and lodging, I'll give you four hundred thirty thousand tomorrow, now can you be assured?"

Ye Fan did not refuse this IOU, took it, and put it away.

"Boss, please find us a room."

Gao Dongliang ran over: "Captain Chen, it's too risky outside now, the hotel can't be stayed in, the hostel has only one room left, what do you think....?"

Shuang'Er nodded immediately: "No worries, mutants aren't picky about living environments."

"Alright, then please make do, it's the room upstairs on the left."

Ye Fan and Shuang'Er went upstairs, to a room with only one big bed.

Shuang'Er said nothing, immediately went in for a shower, came out about twenty minutes later, and directly lay on the big bed to rest.

Ye Fan was also quite understanding, grabbed a pillow, and made do under the bed for the night.

No amorous events happened overnight, Shuang'Er also didn't show any intention of inviting Ye Fan to rest on the bed, she slept until daylight.

As Ye Fan opened his eyes, he saw Shuang'Er had already gotten up, washed up, and was standing by the window looking down the street.

"Chen Bufan, you were indeed right, there are a lot fewer patrols and officers in the city, and I saw our wanted poster from yesterday on the street corner replaced by a new one."

Ye Fan got up and stretched: "I told you, there are so many chaotic things in Dawn City every day, dozens of these wanted posters are issued daily, they can't possibly catch everyone, as long as it's not a major incident like a sneak attack on the Dawn Army, basically no one cares."

"What about my leaving the city?"

"Leaving the city is probably not possible, the wanted posters at the city gates are still quite complete, do not leave without full preparation, once found, no one can escape."

Shuang'Er nodded slightly, her urgent task now wasn't leaving the city but finding her teammates.

"Since you're up, let's go, I have to find my teammates."

"Alright, then at noon twelve, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Inner City District's trade market."

"No problem, I'll give you back the four hundred thirty thousand Light Yuan without missing a cent by then."

Shuang'Er agreed quickly, then got up and went downstairs.

By the time Ye Fan followed out, she had already disappeared without a trace.

Ye Fan also walked out the shop door, soon a car came over, and he got in.

Inside the car, Zhuge Yunxue and a few others were there, even Director Shen from the Military Intelligence Bureau had come.

Ye Fan glanced at Director Shen: "How did the tasks I gave you go?"

"Reporting, sir, all completed, indeed the Jiangnan Female Classmate had four female teammates in the city, our War Hawk spotted them yesterday, monitored them all along, after waiting for your orders, the Military Intelligence Bureau organized a capture operation, even more than a dozen of our people were injured because of this."

"Oh! That difficult?"

"Yes, these four are Level 2 Mutants, indeed quite troublesome, and after apprehending them, they refuse to say anything, acting unafraid of death, should we implant chips into them?"

Ye Fan slightly waved his hand: "No need, the Engineer told me that chip implantation causes some harm to the body, and there are operational flaws as well, unless they are heinously guilty or particularly valuable, we shouldn't do this lightly."

"Then what to do? Detain them? We also found a lot of weapons and five hundred thousand Light Yuan in their car, should we interrogate further?"

"Detain them, do not mistreat or interrogate them, wait for my orders, as for the money and weapons... put them away for now."

"Alright, I've already locked them in the dungeon, no one can escape from there."

Ye Fan nodded, and Director Shen got up and left.

At this moment, Zhuge Yunxue reported again: "Captain, as you instructed, the police won't investigate yesterday's matter further, the city gates have been sealed, and the remaining person from the Jiangnan Female Classmate certainly can't leave the city."

"Good, just let her stay in the city for now, I don't see her as extremely vicious, her coming to Dawn City must have a purpose, I want to know what she plans to do."

"Captain, this person is somewhat dangerous, her strength is really strong."

"It's alright, in my Commander's Backpack, I have forty Magnetic Storm Infantry ready, they can be deployed in emergencies, no one can take me down in Dawn City, no matter who she is."

Zhuge Yunxue was reassured, continuing: "What about the Star Night Wolf Pack Squad? If you are active in the city these days, you are inevitable to encounter other Adventurer Squads, and they are still after you internally in the Adventurers."

"No worries, let this squad stay, it may still have use."

After assigning matters, Ye Fan and a few others continued shopping.

Along the way, they encountered some Adventurers, someone even recognized Ye Fan.

But it was useless. Everyone in Ye Fan's group was a Level 2 Mutant. Ordinary people simply didn't dare to come over to deliver themselves to death.

As for the police station, no one paid attention to this matter. Some even reported seeing fugitives, but the police delayed their arrival. By the time they finally came, Ye Fan and the others were long gone.

Ye Fan was right about one thing: there were indeed a lot of fugitives in Dawn City.

Many people, once they became fugitives, simply hid within the city. As the population of Dawn City increased and the police force was insufficient, many fugitives roamed free.

Apart from being unable to leave the city, not many people were actually caught.

This even gave rise to an industry: smuggling.

In Dawn City, there were smuggling teams that helped fugitives sneak in or out of the city in exchange for high fees.

Ye Fan sometimes received reports of these fugitives coming up with the most bizarre ideas to get through city gates.

For instance, disguising as women, creating fake identities, hiding under car bottoms, attempting to cross rivers, or digging tunnels.

The Dawn Army didn't strictly pursue these matters. Except for heinous criminals, many weren't deemed necessary to catch.

Most incidents resulted from fights between adventurers, which was all too normal in the apocalypse. Ye Fan didn't want to use this as an excuse to suppress adventurers.

There were already plenty of prisoners within the city. Rashana alone had tens of thousands of captives who still had no place to be held.

Capturing so many prisoners and then having to feed them was pointless.

So in some areas of Dawn City, regulations were strict, while in others, they were genuinely lenient, which made adventurers particularly fond of them.

Unless, like Shuang'Er, they were specially supervised by Ye Fan, there was no way out of the city through normal channels.

Brute force was unrealistic too, no matter how strong she was, able to solo a King Kong Zombie, she couldn't stand against the military.

This meant she couldn't leave the city to complete tasks and had also found her few teammates.

So it was basically impossible for her to make money to pay back Ye Fan.

Ye Fan strolled around the city for a morning, even heading out to the outskirts to check on the spring plowing.

Many survivors took to the fields, with countless agricultural machines working busily, creating a lively scene of spring cultivation.

According to the municipal office established by Dawn City, if you pay a certain amount, you can get a certain amount of land, which is also protected by the Dawn Army.

This gave survivors great confidence. People of Qin Han naturally have an extraordinary love for land.

With grain, no one in the apocalypse had to worry about survival, and everyone worked with great enthusiasm.

Of course, some chose technical professions. Now, various factories and enterprises were continuously being established within Dawn City. With technology, one wouldn't go hungry, and life could even be better.

In the morning, Ye Fan even received a report saying the marriage registration office of the civil administration bureau in Dawn City had started construction, and it would officially open in about half a month. Then, couples in love could have legal marital status within the city.

Even the field hospital reported that a pregnant woman had been admitted, and before long, the first baby after the apocalypse might be born in Dawn City.

These good news made Ye Fan very happy. Returning to the city, he walked through the trading market once again.

The trading market was becoming more and more lively. He even saw a few people from the eastern part of Qin Han.

These people, speaking clumsy Qin Hanese, came here to trade as well.

This proved that the existence of Dawn City was increasingly known in surrounding areas. Not only the Rakshasa, but people from Shanshen Country also knew about Dawn City.

This also proved one thing: the international community still existed. It's just that communication was not yet that developed, making it difficult to connect.

At noon, Ye Fan arrived at the entrance of the trading market.

Amidst the bustling crowd, he almost immediately spotted a beautiful girl dressed in a white blouse and black pencil pants, standing there, taking steps hesitantly, somewhat uncomfortably watching him.

Her extremely beautiful appearance made her seem to glow among the crowd, and she seemed not quite used to being watched like this. Although she tried hard to maintain an arrogant attitude, she felt a bit lacking in presence.

Ye Fan walked over and waved to greet her.

"Hi! Shuang'Er, haven't seen you all morning. I thought you wouldn't come, but it seems you've brought me good news, right?"

Seeing Ye Fan, Shuang'Er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She had been looking all morning, but the four teammates who came with her seemed to have vanished into thin air, and she couldn't contact them at all.

She had walked almost every street and alley in Dawn City all morning but found no one. She even got spotted by members of other Adventurer Squads, and someone tried to capture her.

She worried about being discovered by the guards, and without a weapon, she dared not fight too recklessly, so she fled in embarrassment.

After a whole morning, she felt hungry again, but with no money, she couldn't buy anything. In the end, she had to come to the trading market to meet Ye Fan, her creditor.

Seeing Ye Fan, she instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Though he only loved money, his character was impeccable; at least, he didn't wear a pig-like expression when looking at her unbeautiful face.

At the very least, he should take care of lunch. At worst, she'd write another IOU.

Without realizing it, she was subconsciously beginning to rely on Ye Fan a little.
