Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Over 100 Members
The vehicle returned to the front of the Donghua Grand Restaurant, and the students began to get off.
The survivors inside the restaurant saw Ye Fan return and started to smile and planned to greet him, but were stunned to see so many students coming.
This restaurant is two-storied, used for hosting banquets, and naturally, its place is not small, more than enough to accommodate eight hundred to ten survivors.
But with these three hundred students, plus Ye Fan’s current force of sixty to seventy people, it was nearly five hundred people.
As such, this restaurant was likely unable to accommodate all.
Ye Jian Country saw the situation and immediately asked Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, what’s going on?"
Ye Fan smiled, "Don’t ask for now, see who I brought back."
Ye Luo got off the car, crying as she threw herself into her parents’ arms.
Ye Jian Country and his wife did not ask about the matter of these classmates anymore; even without asking, they understood that they were probably all brought back when Ye Fan rescued his sister.
"Come in, classmates, let’s temporarily stay here, endure for a while."
Strictly speaking, the hotel’s environment may not necessarily be comparable to the swimming pool, but it was safe here, with soldiers guarding the area, the students entered enthusiastically.
Ye Fan wanted to arrange accommodation for the students; so many students and survivors, males and females living together was not a sensible arrangement.
He looked at the students and recognized a boy named Qu Xiaoming, who he was somewhat familiar with.
Previously, he was their family’s neighbor, a tall and strong young man with a pretty spirited demeanor, only second to himself.
"Xiaoming, come over here."
"Brother Fan, what’s up?" Qu Xiaoming ran over.
"Organize the guys to settle on the first floor, and you must tell everyone, they don’t need to go out and gather supplies here nor face the zombies; just do their part well. We are building a wall, go and help make it bigger, thicker, and don’t think about slacking off."
"Rest assured, Brother Fan, everyone has matured quite a bit through this experience. On our way here, we even said we’d work well here and not trouble Brother Fan."
"Haha! That’s good. Also, one more thing, it’s not my place here but our place here. From now on, you all are the owners here."
"Got it!"
Qu Xiaoming ran back excitedly, and Ye Fan called him again.
"Anything else, Brother Fan?"
"Uh, try not to have any conflicts with the survivors from before."
"That definitely won’t happen, rest assured."
Qu Xiaoming left, and Ye Fan also went upstairs.
Upstairs and downstairs was a chaotic scene, probably wouldn’t quiet down for a while.
Ye Fan had already told his sister on the car to organize the girls to live on the second floor, she should have informed her parents by now.
Ye Fan’s single room was also on the second floor, not because he wanted to stay with these girls, but because the second floor was somewhat safer than the first, and he would soon move out.
He already had his eyes on the nearby police station building, intending to move there with some soldiers for convenience.
Whether his family wanted to follow him or stay didn’t matter, he would dispatch forces to protect the hotel.
After going upstairs, Ye Fan immediately organized his soldiers to pack their things and went downstairs again.
Told his parents about moving to the police station first, after a family discussion, they decided to stay at the grand hotel.
Ye Fan had no objections: "You can stay, but you have to promise me one thing, stay in those two single rooms and take responsibility for managing the survivors."
Father hesitated, never having managed people in his life, he lacked confidence: "Xiao Fan, isn’t this a bit...?"
"Dad, these are extraordinary times, strict measures are necessary. If you disagree, you can come with me, as everything here will be under military management."
Ye Fan needed his family to understand that some changes in status would not cease to exist just because they were ignored.
Seeing Ye Fan’s larger team and awe-inspiring soldiers, Ye Jian Country felt a bit of reverence; although he stood firm against his son once, he realized his son’s identity had changed.
"Okay, I will lead them for a while. But Xiao Fan, four hundred people can barely sleep here, but material supplies are severely lacking, we don’t even have enough quilts."
"I’ll take care of this, it will be resolved soon."
Forced by Ye Fan, his parents and Ye Luo moved into a single room on the second floor. Ye Fan noticed everyone’s expressions, seemingly unfazed by this, but the townsfolk felt rather lost.
Suddenly, so many people arrived; they were a bit panicked when the students scrambled to do the work, they even refused to let them do it.
They used to complain about the abundance of work, but now feared others would take it away.
The work once done by one hundred now done by four hundred, if one didn’t perform well, would they have no food to eat?
One couldn’t afford to lose a job in these times.
Ye Fan felt satisfied with this scene, deciding to shelter the survivors, but they must have survivor’s awakening.
In these times, everyone must rely on themselves to live better; the notion of unearned rewards no longer exists, competition awareness is good.
********
Gao Dongliang followed Ye Fan to the police station, Ye Fan moved the broadcasting equipment there as well, requiring Gao Dongliang to quickly figure out the situation of other nearby survivors.
How many bases there were, the number of forces, and roughly what the situation was, no details should be left out.
Gao Dongliang happily accepted this task, passionate about it, immediately starting his research in the police station’s radio room.
The Su Family Sisters didn’t come along temporarily, Ye Fan let them stay with his parents and sister, they were in charge of meals, he would eat with the troops for now.
The soldiers quickly moved into the police station; the Fierce Dragon Vehicle and off-road vehicle were driven over, several heavy-duty trucks remained at the grand hotel.
The straight-line distance from here to the grand hotel was less than two hundred meters, in emergencies, Red Alert Soldiers could arrive within two minutes.
Ye Fan naturally assumed the role in the Chief’s Office.
It was fairly clean here; the office had a suite with a separate bed, little blood inside, likely empty during the incident.
Sitting on the chair, Ye Fan started to delve into the current situation.
He had seventy-two Red Alert Units, excluding the team of White Soldiers and Fierce Dragon Vehicle.
At the grand hotel, he left two squads of soldiers, all Three-star Soldiers, guarding in shifts.
He had 4800 in money.
Several matters needed spending money on.
One was saving for building a Tank Factory, another was more Engineers for base car construction speed-up, Huang Jie went to Lingshui once, but the base car’s research progress was still zero.
Another was troop increase, up to the highest Battalion Commander authority.
Ye Fan felt increasing troops first was best, using them to level Chengguan Town, sustaining war with war, reaching Battalion Commander authority first.
"Nana, produce twelve Army Soldiers and twelve Conscripts for me first."
"Okay, it needs 3600 money and 36 minutes, please wait, Commander."
With 1200 Gold left, Ye Fan continued production.
There were two slots open for Scouts, a very useful unit, Xu Haoran often assigned various tasks by Ye Fan, additional help seemed necessary.
Producing for 1000 Gold, this slot was filled.
With two hundred Gold left, two more Logistics Support Team Soldiers would be produced, as military numbers grew, Huang Jian’s two logistics teams were overwhelmed.
Forty-eight minutes later, Ye Fan’s office had twenty-eight more soldiers.
Along with the original seventy-two Red Alert Units, Ye Fan’s command now officially had one hundred Red Alert Units!
Before the soldiers could introduce themselves, Nana suddenly issued a notification.
"Congratulations Commander for exceeding one hundred Red Alert Units, awarding ten thousand money, please check!"
