Wasteland Commander-Chapter 383 - 74: The Supply Crate in the Police Station
The helicopter flew in the air for about half an hour, and after crossing a mountain, there lay a vast plain ahead.
The desert and Gobi were blocked by the mountain, and upon reaching the plain area, the climate here presented a completely different scene.
Many rivers meandered down from the mountains, making the land of the plain extraordinarily fertile.
A massive base city was built against the mountain, stretching far and wide.
This used to be a county town, now after expansion, it has become a huge base city.
Ye Fan’s Dawn Island is also not small, but the density of its population definitely cannot compare to here.
From the plane, he saw the twenty-meter-high city walls, the steep terrain, the easily defensible mountain pass, and the fact that zombies could hardly be seen nearby, all proving that this city was very safe.
Su Qiao was on the plane, using the radio to communicate with the ground, granting permission for Ye Fan’s five helicopters to enter the city.
The plane flew over the city walls, over the industrial area, the residential area.
It flew over a massive mansion built against the mountain, and the plane began to descend; this is Su Qiao’s Princess Residence.
"Landing on that lawn over there will do."
All five airplanes landed on a lawn the size of a football field, and everyone disembarked.
"Ye Fan, you first take your people to settle down, I will come to find you after tidying up a bit."
Su Qiao briefly instructed Ye Fan and entered the main building of the villa.
Ye Fan took the Guard Company into the side building and rested in the lobby.
After a while, Su Qiao, having changed clothes, returned.
She took Ye Fan to a study and handed him some documents.
"These are the contracts. We can sign the contracts and then discuss the action plan. See if there’s anything you’d like to add."
Ye Fan took a look at them, and everything Su Qiao promised him was marked down.
First, Ye Fan needed to help her acquire the Empire succession rights, and then her responsibilities were detailed, including the issuance of Light Yuan.
This is not an easy task; currently, over in Yuanjing, New Coin is also being used.
Zheng Jinnan probably knows some news about this place, otherwise, he wouldn’t be issuing New Coin as well.
Through the contract, Ye Fan could also tell that Su Qiao was at a disadvantage in Yuanjing.
Normally, joining the Second Prince’s side would have a higher chance of winning, but he wouldn’t do that.
Firstly, Zheng Jinnan is the Second Prince’s teacher, and they’re together; Ye Fan could not join their side.
Furthermore, Su Qiao is currently at a disadvantage, so helping her ascend would yield the greatest benefits.
The two repeatedly finalized the details of the contract, and ultimately signed their names.
A secret contract was successfully made; from now on, they are in the same boat.
"How do you plan to mobilize the troops over here? Communication is inconvenient, even here in Yuanjing, only fixed-line phone calls have been completed; TV signals can currently cover the surrounding three provinces. To cover the whole country, we must have satellite signals."
Ye Fan asked, "What’s the military situation in Yuanjing like now? Who controls the troops?"
"Yuanjing currently has eighty thousand troops, mainly divided into three parts: one part loyal to him, one loyal to me, and another choosing neutrality, clearly waiting for us to sort out a result, and no one having absolute advantage."
"How advanced is your weaponry then?"
"It’s alright. After all, we’re the imperial capital; during the initial meteor shower, many weapons and production lines were destroyed, but after repairing the production lines, the military industry capacity is still good. Currently, close to five hundred third-generation jets are equipped, and fourth-generation jets are under development; it’s estimated they will be test-flown soon."
"Other weapons are quite advanced too; 99 Main Battle Tanks have been mass-produced long ago, rocket launchers and the like are available, and ordinary weapons are not a problem."
Ye Fan asked again, "Are there nuclear weapons?"
"There aren’t any; refining enriched uranium is very difficult, it won’t be possible this year."
After listening, Ye Fan thought that even without nuclear weapons, he couldn’t send troops here.
This isn’t something solvable by forceful attack; a different method must be employed.
"Your Highness, as I see it, forcibly using troops isn’t wise. If possible, I suggest assassination."
"Assassination? That’s not easy; my second brother is extremely alert. He has tried to assassinate me before but failed; I also sent people to assassinate him, which also failed. He has over two hundred people in his Guard, all Level 2 Mutants, and beside him are two quasi-Level 3 Mutants. With them around, we don’t have a chance."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was astonished, "Quasi-Level 3?"
"That’s right; my second brother has been striving to cultivate Level 3 Mutants but failed ultimately. However, he managed to cultivate two quasi-Level 3 Mutants during the process. These two are his confidants, inseparable from him. You have no idea how formidable they are; they can catch sniper bullets with ease, assassination is too difficult."
As she spoke, Su Qiao handed Ye Fan two pieces of information.
The information detailed the situations of the two quasi-Level 3 Mutants.
"Li Mo, a Speed Type Mutant. Before the apocalypse, he was a martial arts practitioner skilled in the use of cold weapons; he wields double knives and moves extraordinarily fast, capable of cutting down bullets with his blades."
"Zheng Gang, a Strength Type Mutant with Skin Hardening; usually wears bulletproof gear, impervious to bladed weapons and firearms, immensely powerful, rigorously trained to stop bullets, can react within 0.02 seconds after a gunshot to protect Su Jing, armed with a giant alloy iron hammer."
Upon seeing this, Ye Fan understood as well.
Tanya, being a special unit of the Dawn Army, upgrades to Hero after becoming Three-Star, reaching the extent of quasi-Level 3 Mutation.
With Tanya by his side, Ye Fan has never encountered danger; Tanya is always the first to respond in case of emergency, her quick guns overwhelming.
Unexpectedly, by the side of the Second Prince, Su Jing, there are two people comparable to Tanya.
If these two are not dealt with, there will be no chance to act against Su Jing.
Ye Fan finds himself a bit at a loss for a good plan for the moment, feeling somewhat dejected.
Su Qiao does not say much either; she still hopes to resolve the issue through military means.
However, she also tells Ye Fan that, since she returned safely, Su Jing is obliged to host her at a banquet tomorrow. She will bring Ye Fan along to meet and observe the celebrities in Yuanjing City.
Moreover, it would be best for Ye Fan to take on a different identity, as his name is recognized by some people even within Yuanjing City.
Ye Fan nods in agreement, and Su Qiao goes to busy herself. Tomorrow she will confer the Duke title upon Ye Fan, and tonight Ye Fan is free to move around.
After Su Qiao leaves, Ye Fan decides to go out and take a look around.
After all, it’s his first time in Yuanjing City, and once the satellite launch center is established, who knows when he might return.
Accompanied by Tanya, Zhuge Yunxue, and a few communications staff, Ye Fan leaves the Princess’s mansion.
Walking on the bustling streets of Yuanjing, Ye Fan feels that the happiness index of residents here is not particularly high.
On the streets are both the glamorous and those who look penniless and downtrodden.
This is the common phenomenon in the apocalypse era; there are rich people and poor people, and the wealth gap is far worse than before the apocalypse.
At least compared to Dawn City, this place is somewhat lacking.
Ye Fan is not one to nitpick; he mainly wants to experience it.
Taking his companions through the streets and alleys, he enjoys various delicacies and drinks some wine.
Just as Ye Fan is about to return, he suddenly hears a system notification.
[Commander, please be advised, on your east, two kilometers away, a supply box has appeared.]
[This supply box is unique, with internal rewards refreshing in an hour. Please hurry to acquire it.]
Ye Fan is taken aback upon hearing it; it’s been a long time since he encountered a supply box.
The last time he obtained a supply box was upon first arriving at Dawn Island, and in that box, he found Tanya.
This time, what will it be? Ye Fan has no clue.
But it sounds like it won’t disappoint, considering ordinary supply boxes have a 24-hour cycle, and this one only has an hour.
He is extremely delighted and quickly heads in the direction of the supply box.
His current position is at Yuanjing’s night market, with a dense crowd, and Ye Fan, with his companions, squeezes forward, yet progress is slow.
After much struggle reaching near the supply box, over forty minutes have passed, with just over ten minutes left until the box refreshes.
Staring at the three-story building ahead, Ye Fan is stunned.
Because the supply box is inside this building, which turns out to be Yuanjing City’s police station.
And the supply box’s location is on the third floor of the station; from the looks of it, it might even be within the Commissioner’s office.
"This... is the system intending for me to invade the Commissioner’s office to seize the supply box?"
At this point, Ye Fan deeply suspects, with the system’s style, the box might be underneath the Commissioner’s chair.
However, being here now, Ye Fan has almost no choice; even if it’s inside the Commissioner’s pants, he would have to retrieve it.
With less than ten minutes left, Ye Fan decides not to wait.
"Communications staff, immediately contact Su Qiao, have her call the Commissioner, saying she wants to inspect the station; make sure the Commissioner and all police staff welcome her at the entrance."
The communicator swiftly carries out the order, contacting Su Qiao via radio.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan hastily goes upstairs, positioning himself on the third floor, waiting.
Indeed, the supply box is inside the Commissioner’s office.
Before long, with less than two minutes left, the Commissioner hurriedly dashes out of the office.
Passing by Ye Fan, he glances at him but doesn’t pay much mind, mistaking Ye Fan for someone attending to matters.
He hurriedly descends the stairs, urging other police officers to follow, saying the Princess is about to arrive for an inspection.
Officers swiftly head outside, and Ye Fan, seeing the time almost up, promptly kicks open the freshly locked office door, entering the room.
Inside the office, Ye Fan is nearly driven mad with anger.
Because the supply box is locked inside the Commissioner’s safe.
Ye Fan can afford no delay, taking out his commander’s sidearm.
This gun has many functions, and he directly uses the laser to cut!
Cutting for several tens of seconds, he then fires, using a grenade launcher!
Boom~~~!
The safe is blasted open, revealing a small wooden box inside.
Ye Fan quickly grabs it in his hands, with only ten seconds remaining.
