Wasteland Commander

Chapter 43: Emergency Order! Red Alert!


Ye Fan felt very curious after hearing that someone had broken into the council hall and was captured.

Given the overwhelming prestige of his army, how could anyone dare to do such a thing? Was he suicidal?

Especially since the person caught was a woman, and she was adamant about insisting to see him, Ye Fan was intrigued.

He arrived at the front hall of the council, where he met the woman who had already been handcuffed.

"Sir, it's this person. She broke into our military camp late at night, was intercepted and captured by our patrol team, but she did not resist at all, just kept insisting on seeing you."

Ye Fan took a closer look and immediately recognized who the woman was.

When Hua Wushuang went to Dawn City, one of her instrumental aides was sent to jail by him after arriving, and now she had come to Dawn Island. Could it be that this woman has an addiction to jail?

Ye Fan asked, "I know you, you're called... what's your name?"

"Leader Ye, my name is Yu'Er, I'm the lady's subordinate. I have urgent matters to discuss with you; may I speak with you alone?"

"No need to speak alone, my subordinates here are trustworthy. What is your lady doing now?"

"Miss is locked up by the Duke."

Ye Fan's expression turned cold: "Why?"

"Because Miss did not complete the task and delayed the Duke's plan."

Ye Fan remained silent for a moment: "Bring her to my office, and there's no need for the handcuffs."

A few minutes later, Ye Fan returned to the office, offered Yu'Er a cup of tea, then listened to her recount the entire situation.

"Leader Ye, this is how things went down; after hearing it, our lady asked me to inform you."

"How is she in jail?"

"Apart from lacking freedom, she hasn't experienced any hardships. After all, her status is still respected, and no one dares to mistreat her."

Ye Fan nodded; Hua Wushuang's imprisonment was unexpected. This happened because she failed to assassinate him, leading to her imprisonment. If a suitable opportunity arises, Ye Fan certainly intends to rescue her.

The information Hua Wushuang brought this time left Ye Fan in deep thought.

Why did Jiangzhou send people to Crescent Island, and what are they planning to do there?

The sudden move from Jiangzhou, the abrupt commercial alliance, the sudden withdrawal of the Kettle Chicken and Shanshen Country, these events seem to be connected.

But where is the crucial point among these?

The information Hua Wushuang provided is limited and doesn't help Ye Fan to analyze the situation further; he can only rely on his own analysis.

If they intend to pose a threat, how would Ye Fan act from their perspective?

Ye Fan believes that Hua Wushuang sensed something, he himself feels something is amiss; it's just a little unclear, like looking at flowers in the mist, and not clearly perceiving them.

However, Ye Fan decided to preemptively address potential threats and take this matter seriously.

Although everything hasn't been fully connected yet, Ye Fan has a vague sense of where the danger lies.

At Ye Fan's level, the forces capable of threatening him are limited.

Especially across the Great River, zombies are no longer a threat, hence danger can only come from humans or mutant beasts.

Regarding humans, Ye Fan doesn't know much about Crescent Island's armed forces, but they shouldn't be too strong.

The real enemies are only the forces like Jiangzhou and White Eagle Country.

However, without nuclear weapons, directly threatening Ye Fan is extremely difficult.

Additionally, there's another potential threat that may come from the sea, from ocean giant beasts.

Thinking about this, Ye Fan suddenly realized something was amiss.

"Check how far the transport ship from Crescent Island is from us?"

"Sir, we've signed a trade agreement with Crescent Island, and there have been many freighters commuting these days, which specific ship are you referring to?"

Ye Fan paused, not expecting so many ships commuting, then asked: "And those from Yungang and Quan Ting?"

"They also have many freighters; both travel along the coast, with even more numbers."

Ye Fan hurriedly opened the spy satellite map to carefully examine the situation.

Viewing the spy satellite map is quite tedious, especially the eastern side.

The western side at least has various locations, while the eastern side is uniformly ocean, and upon opening, the entire ocean is filled with purple dots.

Purple dots represent mutant beasts; the number of mutant beasts in the ocean is too many, it makes one's head spin, so Ye Fan seldom bothers to look.

Now, checking it, after seeing it for a while, Ye Fan discovers that there are over a hundred freighters commuting to and from Dawn Island.

This makes the situation somewhat difficult to handle.

Currently, the naval force of the Dawn Army is insufficient, the aircraft carrier battle group has already set off, heading east to occupy some uninhabited reefs, expanding Dawn Army's ocean territory.

Also, Xiaoba and those giant octopuses have been dispatched, making the eastern sea area of the Dawn Army almost a vacuum state.

If someone notices this, then takes certain actions...

Ye Fan suddenly stood up and put on his coat.

Beside him, Zhuge Yunxue and Tanya also stood up.

"Sir, it's already nighttime, where do you plan to go?"

"It's nighttime..... where is Yu'Er?"

"She's been arranged to rest, returning to Jiangzhou by the freighter tomorrow morning."

"Go call her."

Yu'Er was quickly called back, and Ye Fan directly asked, "How long have you been on Dawn Island?"

"I came by ship, it took me a total of three days."

"So, counting today, you've been here for four days."

"Yes, I was delayed by nearly a day looking for you, after midnight it'll be the fifth day."

Ye Fan calculated the time Yu'Er's boyfriend went to Crescent Island. If there were any actions, it could be tonight or tomorrow morning.

But with so many ships on the sea, it was still difficult to determine which one had a problem.

Moreover, Ye Fan checked that many ships would dock later tonight.

Maybe there will be danger tonight!

Ye Fan made a decisive decision, issuing a series of orders.

"Emergency order, Red Alert!"

"Go shore up security along the coast, evacuate everyone lingering by the shore to inland regions!"

"Notify the Second Field Brigade to retreat immediately and prepare for defense!"

"Immediately seal the river passages on both the north and south sides, no ships are allowed through. If anyone tries to force through, open fire to sink them."

"Utilize the cargo ships within the island, have the Military Intelligence Bureau and the police inspect the arriving ships immediately."

"The Guard Battalion follows me to the coast, and all engineers follow to set up defenses!"

Ye Fan issued a series of orders and then got into a car, leaving the parliament immediately.

The situation is unclear now, but danger could come at any time. He must do something first.

For example, build a wall along the coast.

Upon receiving the news, everyone began to take action.

Dawn Island, once immersed in sleep, immediately erupted into noisy chaos.

A large number of people were awakened from their dreams and were forced to evacuate inland.

The Dawn Army stipulated that no one was allowed to remain within five kilometers of the western coastline.

With this order, for example, the western villa area, and the Curry People's district, were forced to continue migrating westward, and no one was allowed to stay within this range.

Amidst the noisy crowd, Ye Fan personally arrived at the coast.

He saw Senluo Prison in the distance but didn't pay it any attention. Senluo Prison was safe due to its height, so there was no need to worry.

He arrived at the Coastal Avenue, and along this avenue, he began constructing an ultimate wall.

Defending against the Ocean Giant Beast was more challenging than defending against zombies. A ten-meter-high wall wouldn't be very effective against those Ocean Giant Beasts. It had to be a thirty-meter one.

The coastline of Dawn Island is about twenty kilometers from south to north. A wall costs five hundred Gold per meter, and after discounts on construction materials, it's fifty Gold per meter.

Building an entire wall would require about one million five hundred thousand funds.

Ye Fan proceeded to the villa area, starting construction from the coast there.

Sitting in a Wildcat all-terrain vehicle, as the vehicle moved, Ye Fan simultaneously constructed the wall.

Since there was no one around because they had been driven away, no one would notice anything.

A thirty-meter high wall appeared.

Then the vehicle moved forward, and Ye Fan quickly set up, causing the wall to rapidly extend.

As the vehicle moved forward, the wall grew longer and longer, thirty meters high, ten meters thick, appearing out of nowhere like the Great Wall, magnificent and no less impressive.

Marines began setting up checkpoints on the Celestial River, blocking any ships from passing.

It's uncertain if anything would happen, but Ye Fan was determined not to let the incident spread to the inland area. He wanted to restrict the scale to the coast.

Ye Fan himself did not yet know that if he hadn't urgently addressed this incident, it would have indeed turned into a disaster.

At least those living by the sea would have been unable to escape.

......

In the turbulent sea in the distance, a ship from Crescent Island was sailing through the waves.

The dark sea seemed capable of swallowing everything, but the crew had no fear, instead, they were quite excited.

It seemed they all knew they were going to cause trouble for the Dawn Army this time.

Everyone knew that offending the Dawn Army might get them killed on the spot.

But they had no choice, they were all death row inmates. This mission was their last hope; they were promised that if they survived this event, they would be pardoned.

So, doing nothing meant death; doing something might offer a slim chance of survival.

The ship was filled with a foul smell, the odor of rotting and spoiled meat.

When they declared their cargo, they said it was transporting Mutant Beast Meat.

In reality, it was a loophole; what they were transporting were scraps of meat, animal organs, and blood – the smell was overpowering.

If inspected, they'd have no problems, as this meat was destined for feed processing plants.

At this moment, the crew opened the ship's hold, beginning to dump food into the ocean.

Blood diffused into the sea, the scent of blood drifting with the sea breeze.

A large flock of seagulls gathered from the smell, and in the sea, waves began to churn – the Ocean Giant Beast was coming!
