The cargo ship sailed along the river, Ye Fan looked into the distance and could still see the docks near the island, where military ships were anchored one after another.
Most of the military ships were modified cargo ships, but some were converted coast guard vessels.
From afar, one could see those cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns.
These ships were generally quite large, and although their armor wasn't as strong as real military ships, their firepower wasn't lacking.
Take, for example, the ship frozen on the river during Ice City's zombie siege; if that ship could move, it would surely cause huge troubles for the zombies.
Soon, the ship reached the internal port of the Zijing Empire, and Ye Fan disembarked.
After getting off the ship, Ye Fan felt as if he had arrived in a foreign country.
Wanguo Island was very bustling, with foreigners making up the majority. People of all skin colors and ethnicities could be seen.
Ye Fan hadn't experienced being alone for a long time; this feeling was quite enjoyable.
He still dressed like he did back with Shuang'Er in Dawn City, as a cocky adventurer. In the apocalypse, this image was actually very appealing because everyone had to show you some respect.
The only thing missing was an entourage, which made the scene seem less grand.
Outside the dock, there were even taxis by the roadside.
Ye Fan waved his hand and stopped a taxi.
The driver was a black man who, upon seeing Ye Fan, flashed a big white smile and greeted him in fairly decent Qin Han language, "Hello, handsome adventurer sir, where would you like to go?"
Ye Fan pointed in the direction of the supply box, "There's a crowded area over there; what is that place?"
"Over there... there are quite a few places, several markets. Are you heading there?"
"Let's go, about five kilometers from here."
"Oh! That might be the North Island Market, it's very lively there. Whether it's purchasing guns, poisons, mutant beast meat, or slaves, you can find it all."
Ye Fan heard a few novel things, "They even have poisons and slaves?"
"That's correct, this is Wanguo Island, many people here enjoy poisons, and the slave trade is not prohibited. This was decided by the Multi-Nation Federation; compared to other places in Qin Han, it's much more open here."
"What kind of people are these slaves?"
The black driver started the car and glanced at Ye Fan, "They come from all over, but mainly from Qin Han, as most of the survivors around are Qin Han people, and the source of supply is plenty. There's even a dedicated slave hunting team capturing survivors to sell on the island."
Hearing this, Ye Fan was somewhat surprised, "Such a thing exists? Do Qin Han people in the Multi-Nation Federation oppose it?"
The driver chuckled, "There are no Qin Han people among the Federation's council members. Don't be so surprised, sir. Many people even volunteer to be slaves, as at least they can get enough to eat. As for resistance, of course, some resist, but most of them are already dead. These systems are legal on the island now."
Ye Fan said nothing further; this Wanguo Island now seemed to be a malignant tumor of Qin Han.
The local Qin Han forces were already very small, with no seats for the locals in the Federation. This was obviously suppression.
Ye Fan really disliked this system; this was Qin Han's land, but it had become an independent kingdom of foreigners.
However, he remained silent, knowing that changing this would take a process, and he wasn't in a rush.
Soon the car arrived near the large market.
At this time, the system indicated that Ye Fan was only five hundred meters away from the supply box.
He got out of the car, gave the driver thirty New Coins, and then entered the market.
The number of stalls in the market was quite large; as soon as he entered, Ye Fan felt the differences here.
On those stalls, firearms and ammunition were displayed casually; any light weapons you could think of were basically available here.
Even some past contraband were displayed like cabbages with clearly marked prices.
Foreigners were everywhere, and some patrol officers could be seen with submachine guns patrolling back and forth to prevent riots in the market.
Ye Fan followed the direction of the supply box, walking for a while until reaching an even more crowded area.
The system indicated the supply box was only fifteen meters away from him.
Ye Fan walked a few more steps forward, but he couldn't move any further.
Because in front of him was a platform about a meter high, with the supply box on top of it.
Distance of six meters.
Ye Fan looked up at the platform and saw more than a dozen people standing there, most of them young women.
Two black women, two people from the Southern Subcontinent, a white woman, and six Qin Han women.
These women all appeared quite beautiful and were even wearing makeup and pretty clothes, but their haggardness was hard to conceal. It was clear they had suffered a lot before, exhibiting typical survivor traits with pale complexions.
This should be the place for selling slaves; a white man was there shouting non-stop.
"Come and take a look! Young female college students, office ladies, kindergarten teachers, little hospital nurses, we have all kinds of types, highest bidder wins!"
Many people below were also watching, with quite a few showing greedy, lecherous eyes, picking their targets.
Ye Fan glanced and found his target.
A Qin Han woman dressed as a nurse, holding a medical box marked with a red cross.
Clearly, this medical box was just a prop, this was the supply box.
Ye Fan smacked his lips, it seemed he would need to "buy" this little nurse to get to the supply box.
This little nurse stood at the center stage, being the most beautiful among the group.
Though not as stunning as Shuang'Er's national beauty, she had the charm comparable to top-tier beauties like Zhuge Yunxue, and even looked healthy, unlike others who seemed malnourished.
At this point, the white man began pushing out slaves for sale one by one.
People around started bidding, and deals were struck one after another.
Ye Fan remained still among the crowd, along with several others, listening to the murmured discussions, all targeting that little nurse.
Soon the other women were sold, with the highest price being 30,000 New Coins.
When it was the little nurse's turn, the white man's voice rose.
"This one's extraordinary, she once served as an image ambassador for her hospital, handled a lot of receptions, is particularly good at taking care of people, and is fluent in several languages. She was the lover of a small base leader; that base was wiped out by an Adventurer Squad, and that's how she was captured. Unlike most women who are dragged along by fate in the apocalypse, she's a rare clean girl, only twenty-one years old. Starting price is 30,000 New Coins, with each bid increase at least one thousand. If you're interested, act quickly!"
The starting price was equivalent to the previous highest deal, a very high price.
The little nurse on stage glanced around, also observing the people below.
Her appearance was captivating, there was a rare alluring aura about her.
Along with her curvy figure, she deserved to be called a stunner.
Ye Fan wasn't particularly fond of this type, but most of the men present liked it.
As soon as the white man finished speaking, bids started pouring in.
"Thirty-one thousand!"
"Thirty-five thousand!"
"Thirty-six thousand!"
"Fifty thousand!"
"Fifty-two thousand!"
The prices climbed rapidly, soon reaching eighty thousand.
Eighty thousand New Coins was already quite a sum, most bidders backed down, but there were still a few groups unwilling to give up, including two Shanshen Country people beside Ye Fan, incessantly placing bids.
"One hundred thousand! This nurse must be mine. I feel he has our Shanshen Republic bloodline, simida!"
At the price of one hundred thousand, many conceded, and even the competing parties hesitated.
Seeing this, Ye Fan didn't wait any longer and raised his hand: "Two hundred thousand!"
The place went silent for a moment, all eyes focused on Ye Fan.
The white man's eyes lit up instantly: "This gentleman has great taste, this little nurse is definitely worth the price, once you take her home you'll see how good she is."
The two from Shanshen Country glared, "Damn Qin Han man, you dare oppose us Shanshen Country? Don't you know we belong to the Tai Chi Tiger Gang!"
Ye Fan sneered: "I don't care which gang you belong to, we're talking money now."
"You... you brat! I'll bid two hundred ten thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
The two from Shanshen Country stopped speaking, muttering while watching Ye Fan, their eyes unfriendly.
The white man was so thrilled he nearly drooled, but after asking a few times with no one else bidding, the deal was struck.
"Congratulations to this gentleman! The beautiful nurse belongs to you!"
Ye Fan didn't waste any words. He carried a backpack, which was just for show, allowing him to access items from the Commander's Backpack.
He directly took out three bundles of New Coins, handed them to the white man, then the nurse was sent to Ye Fan's side.
"Let's go, follow me, I'll carry this box for you."
Ye Fan graciously offered his hand, taking the medical kit over.
"Thank you, master, you're the most charming person I've met... "
Before the nurse could finish, Ye Fan had already turned to leave.
"Really... clueless stiff."
The nurse didn't dare linger. She really liked Ye Fan, wealthy and quite handsome, much better than being with a decrepit old man.
She hurriedly followed, stepping out of the crowd.
Ye Fan looked around and spotted a public restroom.
"Wait here, I'll be right back."
Without bothering with the nurse, Ye Fan entered the restroom and found a stall.
Holding the supply box, he silently opened it.
[Congratulations, Commander, the supply box is open. You've gained a soldier unit, please select its birthplace.]
Upon hearing it's a soldier unit, Ye Fan decided not to make it too far, just beside him in the neighboring stall.
"Born in the stall next to mine."
With that, Ye Fan pushed open the stall door and stepped out, waiting for his soldier to appear.
At that moment, Ye Fan discovered the two from Shanshen Country had followed him inside, glaring maliciously at Ye Fan.
"Why did you follow me?"
"Why? Damn Qin Han man! Today we'll teach you a lesson! Let you know, on this land, Qin Han people have no status!"
Then, the two took out pistols, shouting to the others: "Tai Chi Tiger Gang from Shanshen Country is handling matters, random people get out immediately!"
A huge crowd hurriedly rushed out of the restroom, some even neglecting their wet pants.
With the restroom quickly emptied, Ye Fan chuckled coldly: "Are you sure you want to take me on? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!"
"Then let's see, we two against one, now in the restroom, no one will come to help you."
"Is that so? Maybe not."
Before Ye Fan finished, the restroom door opened.
"Oh damn!
The two from Shanshen Country widened their eyes.
A woman stepped out from the stall.
Brilliant blonde hair, wearing a brown tight-fitting tank top, revealing a section of her white, slender waist beneath the voluptuous curves.
Beneath the sharply defined waist was the plump hips, clad in tight black leather pants, outlining her pert behind and long legs.
She wore black ankle boots, with two holsters on each side of her pants.
Two Colt pistols nestled inside, hanging with two spare magazines.
A small backpack slung behind, her alluring and seductive face intensely captivating.
A classic Caucasian woman, a modern lady with blonde hair and blue eyes, incredibly beautiful and gorgeously hot.
When she walked up to Ye Fan, Ye Fan's pupils slightly dilated.
It was surprisingly her!
