Wasteland Commander-Chapter 377 - 68: Getting Rich, a Small Goal!

Upon hearing Tanya’s words, Shen Ruihui seemed awakened like an epiphany.

"Exactly! You’re definitely right, I’ve seen heartbroken people before, and the situation is pretty much the same as the Commander now."

"Oh! You have such insight? Then tell me, what’s the Commander’s situation?" Zhuge Yunxue asked.

"It’s simple, it feels like there’s a ball of fire in his belly, the whole person is like a fire-breathing dragon, everything seems unsightly to him, you can’t tell what he’s sensitive to, if you provoke him, he’ll breathe fire at you, scorching you until you’re exhausted, yet he feels unsatisfied, at such time, anyone who approaches might run into trouble."

Zhuge Yunxue couldn’t help but laugh: "Director Shen knows quite well, so are you still going in?"

Under the gaze of the two beauties, Shen Ruihui straightened a bit: "Of course, why not go, especially at times like this, it highlights the importance of a confidant, to resolve the Commander’s troubles and challenges, it is my duty."

After saying this, Shen Ruihui pushed open the door and entered Ye Fan’s office.

Upon entering, he saw Ye Fan leaning against the boss chair, hands behind his head, eyes closed, pondering over something.

Shen Ruihui mulled over for a moment, crafted his words carefully, and coughed lightly: "Commander, are you still alive... no, are you okay?"

Ye Fan’s eyelids trembled slightly: "Speak quickly if you’ve got something to say, release gas quickly if you’ve got to."

Shen Ruihui was reprimanded with a sentence, immediately stood at attention reflexively. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"It’s like this Commander, no need to cling to a single flower when there are many others, the military intelligence department has been working diligently these days, having captured a total of 370 espionage agents and intercepted over thirty valuable pieces of intelligence; we are planning five capture operations in the coming days but lacking funds of 200,000 yuan, awaiting your instructions!"

Ye Fan’s body froze for a moment, then gradually relaxed, his chest heaving.

"The operation is approved, we’ll discuss the funds in a few days, Light Yuan hasn’t been issued, everything needs to be simple, not working due to lack of money is not an option."

"Alright, Commander, the sea, once seen, other water can’t measure up, only the clouds of Mount Wu could be enchanting; the air force department reports a desire to increase the number of fighter jets, hoping to enhance the security of our airspace and request Commander to consider the expansion of the air force."

Ye Fan took a deep breath: "Director Shen is quite nosy, even reporting on the air force’s affairs? Tell them, to wait."

"Understood, Commander, it’s said when you’re in doubt there seems no way, but suddenly a new vista opens; my colleagues entrusted me, of course, I have to try my best, Engineer Huang Jie reports a request to add fifty engineers and establish a Navy Research Institute to quickly set up a naval combat lab."

Ye Fan still did not open his eyes: "Approved, fifty engineers will enlist by the afternoon."

Seeing Ye Fan’s interest is still not high, Director Shen squeezed his mind to continue speaking.

"Commander, losing weight without regrets, becoming tired and haggard for someone’s sake, please prioritize the well-being of all living things under the skies, taking care of your health, Director He Xiaoting from the Dawn Island Field Hospital hopes to obtain two antiviral serums to run a field rescue ad campaign to boost the hospital’s reputation."

Ye Fan finally slowly opened his eyes, showing noticeable red blood vessels, obviously from staying up late.

He reached out, touched around the Commander’s pack, and took out the Commander’s medical box.

As a commander, he could use six antiviral serums a day.

Two were left in Dawn City, one was given to Hua Wushuang, he should have three on hand.

Ye Fan was planning to take out two to give to Dawn Island’s field hospital, keeping one for himself would be enough.

But upon opening the box, Ye Fan was stunned for a moment.

Because inside the medical box, there were actually four antiviral serums!

Ye Fan blinked his eyes, took a closer look, confirmed he wasn’t mistaken, and immediately called in the communications officer.

"Wang Meng, immediately ask Dawn City whether the two antiviral serums were used."

"Yes, Commander."

Wang Meng immediately inquired and quickly replied to Ye Fan.

"Commander, no, Director Xiao Jing of the Dawn City Hospital told me the two serums have never been used."

Hearing this, Ye Fan’s hand trembled slightly.

Dawn City Hospital hadn’t used them, so it must be Hua Wushuang who used them.

If she hadn’t used them, the serum wouldn’t have refreshed in his medical box.

She used the serum... she used the serum!

But she used the serum, why didn’t he see green dots within the corpse crowd?

What exactly is the matter, Ye Fan couldn’t quite understand.

Yet his mood was greatly uplifted because of it.

After all, it gave him a glimmer of hope; if Hua Wushuang wasn’t dead... then he’d still have a chance to see her again.

The slump and depressed mood of the past few days were finally greatly alleviated at this moment.

Looking again at Director Shen, who came to report work, he wasn’t as unpleased as before.

This guy surely deserves credit, reporting work while blending some poetry and humor, certainly quite thoughtful.

"Director Shen, any other tasks, just say them all, I’ll handle them together for you."

"It’s like this Commander, a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its den, bachelors have more disputes at their door..."

"Stop! Take back those corny poems of yours; just get to the point quickly!"

Can’t risk showing any favor or he’ll sure speak something unpleasant.

Bachelor, hmpf!

You’re the bachelor, if it weren’t for an unexpected turn, I’d have had a partner already.

Director Shen’s meticulously crafted poetry was disliked by the Commander, his arrogance instantly subdued quite a bit.

"Commander, there’s nothing much else. The troops are asking if we should continue heading north to reclaim Qi Lu Province, especially since we have the support of Golden City’s Giant Stone Johnson over there."

Ye Fan had already pulled himself together and immediately waved his hand dismissively.

"No rush, let’s stabilize things here in Loose Province first. There will be no further military action before we issue the Light Yuan."

"Understood, Commander. There’s another thing. The horde that destroyed Jiangzhou’s 170,000 troops is continuing eastward. Their final target seems to be Zhonghai City. If they enter Zhonghai City, they’ll be our neighbors. Should we pay attention to this matter?"

"The horde is heading to Zhonghai?"

Ye Fan immediately opened the spy satellite to check the horde’s movements.

Indeed, the horde that wiped out Jiangzhou’s forces was continuing along Celestial River, and if it kept going, it would certainly reach Zhonghai, south of Dawn Island.

Zhonghai is Qin Han’s largest city, with the number of zombies in the city definitely exceeding five billion, possibly more.

If the horde enters, it would be like a dragon returning to the sea or a tiger entering the mountains.

But Ye Fan had no means to deal with this horde, not to mention delving into Zhonghai. He hadn’t even thought of it.

This city’s horde is too large and dense; there are no plans for the Dawn Army to enter Zhonghai this year.

"Forget it, don’t bother with them. They can’t cross the Celestial River just relying on zombies. We have other things to do and can’t focus on this horde."

"Understood, Commander, I have nothing else."

Ye Fan nodded: "The work of the Military Intelligence Bureau has been commendable lately; keep strengthening it. Once we issue the Light Yuan, your division will be expanded."

"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people are everywhere. Thank you, Commander!"

Director Shen seemed invigorated, saluted, and uttered a phrase that disgruntled Ye Fan.

.......

After the battle of Jiangzhou, both Dawn Island, Jiangzhou, Crescent Island, Jiangnan Province, and the surrounding areas like Shanshen Country and northern countries like the Foot Basin remained silent.

Everyone needed time to digest what had occurred during this period.

The formidable display of the Dawn Army and the rocket-like rise in strength of the horde left a significant impact on everyone, solidifying their resolve to develop technology.

The rampant fires of war seemed to have suddenly extinguished, and everyone needed time to recuperate and gather strength for the future.

A crisis awareness emerged, and everyone began to strive to develop as much as they could.

The Dawn Army’s situation became a focal point of attention for many.

After Ye Fan took control of Loose Province, he focused entirely on developing basic infrastructure.

Various power plants, hydroelectric stations, and drinking water facilities were established.

Roads were opened on a large scale, and railways were put into operation one after another.

The rail line from Dawn City to the south was also being opened, line by line.

All armed forces in Loose Province were disbanded; with the Dawn Army present, no other forces were needed for assistance.

On August 10, the Dawn Army announced on television that New Coin would be completely abolished in areas like Dawn Island and Loose Province, to be replaced by the Light Yuan.

The population density here is much higher than in Divine Dragon Province, with more people, more wealth, and more adventurer teams.

Dawn Island today is much more stable than when Ye Fan first arrived. The repeated battles of the Dawn Army have shown which country is truly dominant in the region to those seeking strength.

Jiangzhou, after a zombie siege, had fallen from its pedestal, stripped of its aura, and was no longer so intimidating.

In contrast, the performance of the Dawn Army far outshines that of Jiangzhou.

The wind was slowly changing over this land.

Even Crescent Island repeatedly sent special envoys to visit Ye Fan on Dawn Island, clearly fearful of retaliation from the Dawn Army.

However, Ye Fan had no interest in meeting them. When they led the sea monsters to the island, they showed no mercy; now they want to cling onto a strong ally. Ye Fan has no intention to indulge them.

What’s more, he was extremely busy with the issue of the Light Yuan.

A newly established bank on Dawn Island issued the first wave of Light Yuan, valued at two billion.

According to the exchange rate between the Light Yuan and New Coin, two billion Light Yuan is equivalent to two hundred billion New Coin!

The public exchange of Light Yuan was also very active because under the rule of the Dawn Army, they had no choice.

The two billion Light Yuan was exchanged in just two days, recovering over a hundred billion New Coin in addition to a large amount of gold, silver, and jewels.

Three days later, all the gold, silver, and jewels were delivered to Dawn Island.

Looking at the small mountain of gold and silver in front of him, Ye Fan felt a surge of excitement.

[Commander, a large amount of gold and silver has been detected, which can be converted into system funds. Would you like to convert now?]

"Convert, convert it all!"

[Conversion successful. Congratulations, Commander, you’ve received 102,938,475 Yuan in funds!]

Over a hundred million!

With this move, Ye Fan directly acquired over a hundred million in system funds.

All the work and expansion plans now had a foundation for implementation!
