Upon hearing the news, Ye Fan immediately didn't feel cold anymore and hurriedly turned on the radar.

Once it was on, indeed.

At the edge of the Star River, about a kilometer outside Dawn City's Outer City District, dozens of people were hidden there.

They were the support for the Survivor Alliance, already within radar range, but Ye Fan hadn't acted on them yet.

Now, with the six hundred armed personnel sent by the Survivor Alliance and over a thousand fake survivors infiltrating the base, they weren't much in Ye Fan's eyes.

If he wanted to launch an attack, a single thunderous strike could wipe them out.

However, it was evident that this wasn't conducive to the future development of the base.

The surrounding survivors might see this place as a devil's den, and it would immediately lead to a fallout with the Survivor Alliance.

The Survivor Alliance still had value; Ye Fan was counting on these people to help him collect gold. Ripping off the mask right away wasn't the best strategy.

It's clear they were lurking outside the base, waiting for nightfall.

It was already past six, and in the late autumn season, the northern days were short and nights were long, with darkness about to fall.

In at most an hour, they would launch their attack.

Looking at the blue dots gathered on the radar screen, some of them even deep blue, there was no doubt they were evolvers.

Ye Fan knew very well why the evolvers were coming.

Ye Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Zhuge Yunxue next to him, "Notify everyone to get ready. It's about to start, and I can hardly wait. I'm so hot I've broken out in a sweat."

"Understood, I'll notify them right away."

Zhuge Yunxue immediately sent out the notification but looked at Ye Fan with some confusion.

"Sir, how can you feel hot? Wasn't it very cold in your dream just now?"

Ye Fan waved his hand, "Dreams are always opposite; feeling cold means it's actually warm."

Zhuge Yunxue was momentarily stunned, then broke into a happy smile.

"Ha! Yes, dreams are opposite, so what I dreamed about you should mean you're a good person."

Ye Fan glanced at her without asking what kind of good person she had dreamed he was.

What young girl doesn't harbor affections? He didn't want to pry into her privacy.

Ye Fan could restrain himself in actions, but could he control a girl's heart?

********

On the front city wall of Dawn City, members of the Survivor Alliance were patrolling.

Patrolling here these past two days hadn't been easy.

Ye Fan had given them the city wall, but there was another wall inside, and they couldn't see anything about the Dawn Army's situation.

Standing on the first wall, they could only see a large spherical building in the distance and a villa vaguely visible on a high slope.

The spherical building might be a radar station, but they weren't sure, finding it hard to believe that the Dawn Army could manufacture a radar.

The villa was likely Ye Fan's residence, but it wasn't clear.

It seemed there were also barracks or something inside; sometimes they could hear sounds, but the buildings were surrounded by protective forests, making it impossible to see anything.

Moreover, Ye Fan had only ceded the defense of the walls and the Water Gate, but the soldiers in the watchtowers remained.

The heavy machine guns mounted there made people shiver.

Once the battle commenced, casualties were unavoidable.

Wang Dashan could only keep the armored vehicles stationed in the Inner City District as a deterrent force.

But if a battle really broke out, how effective the reassembled and overhauled armored vehicle would be was uncertain.

What Wang Dashan could rely on was the operation planned for tonight at the Water Gate.

Their people had already figured out how to operate the sluice gate, ready to open it tonight to let the outside divers into the city.

The divers would bring in a large quantity of weapons and ammunition, with people on the riverbank providing support, quietly distributing the arms under the cover of night.

Once fully armed, they would start picking off the watchtowers one by one, like pulling nails, then advance along the city wall to attack the core district behind.

Sacrifice was inevitable, but they were willing to make the sacrifices to seize the Dawn Army's foundation.

Although taking Dawn City meant occupation by the Wangbei Army, they could still gain plenty of benefits.

This was only part of Wang Dashan's plan.

He also intended to proceed with a second plan concurrently.

Assassination action!

********

The time was now seven o'clock, with the sun setting.

The cool autumn wind swept over the city wall, prompting everyone to pull their clothes tighter.

This year's autumn seemed to feel almost like early winter.

With most of humanity gone, factories inactive, cars not emitting exhaust, and even crop stubble no longer being burned, the air quality seemed to improve suddenly.

The skies were blue, the waters clear, and the land silent.

Previously, it was all about mild winters, but now it seemed to be returning to a cold winter rhythm.

Wang Dashan and the other leaders of the various forces gathered in a corner of the Inner City.

Around them were four armed personnel.

Unlike the other armed personnel, these four were all evolvers!

Zhang Meng, the power-type evolver from the Burning Corps.

Li Shenglong, the speed-type evolver from the Tiger Ferocity Corps.

Lan Xingyu, the skin hardener from the Demon Moon Corps.

Zhang Xiaofei, the sharpshooter from the Wangbei Army.

Although these four came from different forces, they had already been training together for a long time.

Each of them is a super-strong Evolver, elite selected from the one hundred thousand members of the Survivor Alliance.

The elite among elites!

It was Zhang Zhijian from the Wangbei Army who proposed this, so that one day they could be dispatched for some special missions.

Unexpectedly, they were needed so soon.

Their purpose here is to eliminate Ye Fan!

Each person is a death soldier loyal to the leader, willing to sacrifice their lives to create chaos in the Dawn Army by killing Ye Fan.

Wang Dashan was having the final discussion with them.

The weapons on their bodies are highly advanced, with well-coordinated firepower.

The power-type Evolver Zhang Meng was originally a martial arts enthusiast, now armed with a Sliding Blade, his task is close combat.

The speed-type Evolver Li Shenglong was originally a sprinter, now armed with a light machine gun, his task is to contain assault.

Skin Hardener Lan Xingyu's gear includes a bulletproof vest, steel helmet, arm shield, and iron hammer; his task is to attract fire.

Skin hardening is a strange superpower; the skin turns into a keratin layer, like a natural armor, ordinary firearms can't even leave a mark on it, and with this equipment, even a sniper rifle would find it hard to kill him.

The sharpshooter Zhang Xiaofei's weapons are two Desert Eagles.

He once tried out for the national shooting team but didn't make it, but he still has an exceptional talent for marksmanship, now his shooting ability has advanced further, virtually hitting without missing.

His main task is to infiltrate Ye Fan's residence under the cover of his teammates and kill Ye Fan.

Watching the fully armed four people in front of him, Wang Dashan patted each of their shoulders in turn.

"Brothers....."

The voice just came out and was already a bit choked up.

The atmosphere around was somewhat heavy.

Everyone knew that for these four, this mission was basically a life-and-death situation.

The Dawn Army hardly manages the outer defenses, but the inner defenses can be imagined how heavily guarded they are.

Attempting to assassinate Ye Fan under such circumstances is extremely challenging.

Even if they succeed, survival is barely feasible.

Unless everything goes smoothly, and Wang Dashan's people can act promptly, they might be able to control the situation before getting taken out.

But that hope is slim.

"Brothers, I, Wang Dashan, don't want to say any more unnecessary words, Ye Fan leads the Dawn Gang to control the Star River and water sources, positioned at the junction of the three cities, greatly restricting the Alliance's future development."

"The Alliance has already agreed internally, no matter the cost, the Dawn Army must be eradicated, and the bandit leader Ye Fan must be taken down."

"The Alliance has paid a great human and material cost for this matter."

"The actions of you brothers are the key to the success of this plan."

"Since I accepted this mission from the Alliance, I must see it through. The accomplishments of you brothers will be reported to the Alliance truthfully."

"All my life, I've always kept my word, now I can responsibly say to you brothers, as long as you can eliminate Ye Fan and survive, I, Wang Dashan, will form a blood alliance with you, becoming life-and-death brothers!"

The eyes of a few Evolvers turned red, moved by Wang Dashan's sincere and emotional words.

Someone nearby handed over a few bottles of beer.

Having beer at this time is absolutely a luxury.

Wang Dashan, also an Evolver, opened the bottle caps single-handedly, popping them open with a bang.

He took one bottle for himself, and one for each of the other four.

"Brothers, since ancient times, who hasn't died? Becoming a hero wrapped in horsehide! I, Wang Dashan, will wait for you to come back; we won't part ways without seeing each other!"

"Great! When victory comes, we must drink and celebrate with Brother Wang!"

"Hahaha! A head will just leave a big scar like a bowl, what's there to fear, let's do it!"

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, even if I end up shattered to pieces, I'll drag Ye Fan to the grave with me!"

"Let's go!"

The five clinked their bottles together, downing the five bottles of beer with big gulps.

They threw the beer bottles down with a crash, laughing heartily, filled with blazing determination!

*********

Night fell, some newly constructed buildings in the Inner City District lit up.

But the Outer City District was in complete darkness.

Ye Fan of the Dawn Army had ordered the halt of the Outer City District's construction, which Wang Dashan and the others saw as utterly foolish.

Winter is coming; to stop construction now, do they intend to wait for snow to start again?

Doesn't Ye Fan consider the predicament of nearly two thousand survivors?

It seems only natural for such a foolish leader to be eliminated.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

The call of a cuckoo bird came from outside the city, their signal.

Wang Dashan stood above the Water Gate, turned back to look at the lookout on the watchtower.

Perhaps because the Survivor Alliance helped with guarding, those sentries appeared lazy.

The searchlights scanned a few times and then shut off, clearly uninterested in patrolling.

"Our plan worked; they've relaxed their guard these past two days, it's time!"

Wang Dashan had someone quietly open a phone, the screen flashing a few times towards the darkness, that was the signal to act.

Receiving Wang Dashan's order, several teams from the Survivor Alliance moved simultaneously.

The Alliance had prepared for so long, it was finally time to launch.

Looking at the vast darkness, Wang Dashan licked his lips.

"It's begun, Dawn Army, Ye Fan, it's really unexpected to say goodbye so soon....."
