These survivors worked hard today, not only cleaning up the residential areas, but also siphoning all the fuel from nearby vehicles.
The supplies obtained were mainly food, medicine, fuel - these three categories, as well as some miscellaneous daily necessities. It seems that maintaining these people's livelihood for two to three months will not be a problem.
What made Xiao Fan the happiest was the gold and silver jewelry they had obtained. This raid yielded a total of 2,521 gold.
Although Yanshan was not a very affluent place, after all there were no small number of zombies, and the profits from large-scale raids like this were considerable.
This made Xiao Fan look forward to the prospect that when the overall strength became stronger, he could consider attacking small cities. As long as he could seize two jewelry stores, the development of his forces would definitely take a big leap.
Xiao Fan did not immediately use this money. He now faced a dilemma - one option was to accumulate 10,000 gold to upgrade to Lieutenant, and the other was to build radar.
These two things together required 13,000 gold, and there were only two days left, so it would be somewhat difficult to raise enough.
Xiao Fan decided to wait two more days. If he raised 10,000 gold, he would upgrade to Lieutenant. If not, he would build the radar first.
No matter which one was completed, he would immediately leave Yanshan Town, as he was too worried about his sister.
In the next two days, Xiao Fan commanded the troops to attract the zombies' attention and look for suitable sniping spots.
He couldn't get too close to the south side, so as not to threaten the big restaurant, and he had to try to keep the zombie hordes active around the meteorite crater as much as possible.
The killing efficiency was not very high, mainly constrained by Xiao Fan's ammunition issue. After the second day of killing, soldiers began to upgrade to three stars one after another, and the situation began to improve somewhat.
Three-star infantry soldiers carried 480 rounds of ammunition, the highest among all forces.
Three-star riflemen carried 360 rounds, which was also quite a lot.
The biggest change for both types of soldiers after upgrading to three stars was marksmanship.
According to Annie's explanation, these three-star soldiers could participate in the Olympics shooting finals if they went back in time, and their physical fitness was much stronger than those shooting athletes, allowing them to fight in all kinds of harsh environments.
On the second day of battle, Xiao Fan obtained another 3,100 gold.
The scout Xu Qiang upgraded to two stars, and the sniper Bai Xiaochuan also upgraded to one star.
The two-star scout carried 200 rounds, and the one-star sniper carried 20 rounds, with significantly enhanced strength.
The situation on the third day was similar, with 3,300 gold obtained.
On the third day, the three new military dogs also upgraded to one star, and Xiao Tian even upgraded to two stars. His physique had become as big as a lioness, and it would be difficult for anyone to recognize him as a dog if not told so.
The total for the three days was close to 9,000 gold.
Seeing this number, Xiao Fan sighed and selected to manufacture the radar.
It cost 3,000 funds. Xiao Fan still had close to 6,000 funds left.
About three hours later, the time reached 11 o'clock in the morning.
Just before lunch, the radar construction was completed.
"Commander, radar construction completed!"
Xiao Fan immediately opened the system panel. He saw the change right away.
The large screen on the left, where only a tiny part was lit up in the middle originally, was now lit up over ten times bigger.
Almost the entire area of Yanshan Town was covered within the radar range. Where there were zombies and where it was safe were clearly marked by the radar.
Xiao Fan even found that the screen could be zoomed in and out. When he zoomed in on a certain area, he could even see his own house.
The tree he played under when he was little, the distant river, everything was clearly visible.
"Annie, what's the range of this radar?"
"Commander, since you currently don't have physical buildings, only these virtual buildings, the capabilities of virtual buildings cannot compare with physical buildings. The coverage range of this radar is a diameter of 2,000 kilometers."
The built-in radar of the power plant had a diameter of one hundred meters originally. Now it was 2,000 kilometers, enlarged by over twenty times. Xiao Fan didn't feel the range was too small at all.
At least for his actions, this distance was sufficient. Enemies within a thousand kilometers were within his surveillance range. Almost no zombies could pose too much threat to him.
Especially for this trip to the county seat, where was dangerous and where was safe could be seen clearly. The mission to rescue his sister also became much simpler.
After the radar construction was completed, new troop types were unlocked.
Xiao Fan opened the armored vehicle page and did not find new vehicles, but there was a new troop type on the soldier page.
【Flamethrower: Price 800 gold】
Xiao Fan knew about flamethrower soldiers. Armed with flamethrower guns, once they opened fire on the battlefield, it was like a giant flaming dragon that could cover a very large area.
Although the range of these special firearms was not very long, their powerful might posed great lethal power against both zombies and ordinary people.
Moreover, Red Alert's pricing always had its rationale. Since the price was as high as 800, being expensive must have a good reason.
Xiao Fan currently had 27 soldiers under his command. He considered it for a moment, produced two flamethrower soldiers and one scout, bringing his troops up to full strength.
2,100 gold was spent, leaving him with less than 4,000 funds, so it looked like he still needed some time to upgrade to Lieutenant.
The soldiers were born directly on the second floor and joined Xiao Fan's team as soon as they came out.
"Flamethrower Yang Yun reporting, Commander!"
"Flamethrower Zhang Chuang reporting, Commander!"
"Scout Shen Guangming reporting, Commander!"
Xiao Fan saluted the three new soldiers and asked about the flamethrowers.
"Commander, we flamethrowers are mainly equipped with 74 portable flamethrowers and 05 pistols. The main weapon is the man-portable flamethrower, consisting of an oil tank unit, an oil supply tube and a flame gun. The total weight of the flamethrower is 20 kg and it can carry 12 kg of oil. At no-star status, we can continuously spray for twenty seconds or fire ten single shots, with a maximum range of 80 meters. The flame temperature can rise to 1,300 degrees within two seconds!"
Xiao Fan nodded and looked at the two flamethrower soldiers Yang Yun and Zhang Chuang. These two were tall and strong, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to even carry such a heavy flamethrower on their backs.
As for the newborn scout Shen Guangming, he looked different from Xu Qiang.
This guy was not very tall, but his eyes were lively, seeming a bit clever. Even Red Alert soldiers were unique individuals, especially these advanced troop types, who often had their own distinctive personalities, which was normal.
It was lunch time now at twelve o'clock. Xiao Fan had already left the restaurant with his men.
Seeing his father's anxious expression every day, Xiao Fan couldn't wait any longer either. It was just past twelve o'clock now, and all the soldiers' ammunition had been refreshed, so he decided to set off immediately.
This time, he left scout Shen Guangming and four soldiers and a military dog to guard the restaurant, while everyone else followed him to Chishui.
He instructed Shen Guangming that protecting his father's safety was the primary task, with everything else secondary.
Shen Guangming patted his chest and promised to complete the mission.
Xiao Fan didn't say anything more. After bidding farewell to his father, everyone got on the vehicles and rushed straight towards Chishui County!
