After reading the group chat, Sun Meng put down his phone and asked the person who reported the news.
"What do those people look like?"
"There are seven people in total, six of them are equipped with rifles, the specific model cannot be seen clearly, and they are also accompanied by two military dogs. The dogs are wearing body armor and they look well-equipped."
"That's right."
Sun Meng laughed and said to the people around him: "Our business is here."
The person next to me asked hurriedly: "Boss Sun, what happened?"
"Baron Song Yinghao of Sanjiang wanted some soldiers who got out of control and killed people in Sanjiang. Unexpectedly, they came here. It was really difficult for them. They actually traveled 8,000 kilometers in ten days. It was really
There were two moments."
Among the people around him, there were members of his personal guard, people wearing Imperial Security Department uniforms, and even two security guards wearing escort company uniforms.
These people were all those who survived the outbreak of the apocalypse. They came to Sun Meng and were taken in by him.
After hearing Sun Meng's words, several people hesitated.
"Boss Sun, these people all have guns, so they probably won't be easy to deal with. Moreover, Song Yinghao's title is the same as yours, so it's okay if you don't give him this face."
Sun Meng waved his hand: "You don't understand. Even though our title is not high, think about it, what is the world like now? Too many people have died. No matter how high the title is, it is useless to die. We are a group of two.
There are more than a hundred people, and now there are only more than thirty people left. When the situation stabilizes in the future, can we continue to be barons?"
The people around him suddenly realized: "Yes, so many people have died, and there are too many vacancies in this title. I guess it is possible for the boss to be promoted to an earl in the future."
"Haha! The Viscount has it 100%, Earl. It depends on luck. Maybe I will need help from others, so I help Song Yinghao, which can be regarded as an early investment. After all, there is still a Marquis alive in Sanjiang, so
But Song Yinghao’s master.”
Sun Meng continued: "As for those deserters, it's easy to deal with them. If they can run so far in ten days, they must have transportation. But now that we are guarding the intersection, how can they abandon their cars and walk in?"
Wilderness? That is undoubtedly a road to death. As long as they want to go west, they have to pass through us and have to agree to any of our requests."
"What's more, these people are already suspected of being rebels. Song Yinghao of Sanjiang can't say it alone, but if I say it again, they will really become rebel deserters. I don't believe they are not afraid."
With that said, Sun Meng said to the person who reported the news: "Go tell that Tang Zheng and ask him to hand over all the rifles. You can keep the pistols for him. I will make a passage for him. Otherwise, let him go back to where he came from."
, a wanted deserter has no right to make demands. The mere act of killing Lord's relatives is enough for him to take off his military uniform."
"What if Tang Zheng doesn't agree?" The person who reported the news was a little worried.
"Then let's show him some color." Sun Meng said confidently.
After receiving Sun Meng's instructions, his men felt confident and turned around to leave.
Sun Meng looked at the people around him: "I'm lucky today. Whatever I need, I will get it. We are short of guns here, so someone sent us guns. After taking down Tang Zheng's guns, our team's strength will be raised to a new level."
Already."
His tone was still full of the arrogance and arrogance of a noble, as if the apocalypse had never happened.
This is also a common state among the imperial aristocrats. They have always been arrogant and superior to the common people. Over time, they have developed the habit of being arrogant.
Especially those who have survived the apocalypse, because they have private guards, they have more or less strength.
This makes the nobles feel that their opportunity has come. Heroes emerge from troubled times, and it is time for them to rise.
But their biggest shortcoming is their lack of weapons.
Although the empire allows nobles to have private guards, there are strict standards for the distribution of weapons.
This kind of baron, a platoon of private guards, the best weapon is a light machine gun, and it is also an old-fashioned kind.
Really good weapons are all in the hands of the royal troops.
Therefore, after the end of the world, they want to strengthen themselves, but they are also limited by the ineffectiveness of their weapons.
Especially after the end of the world, most weapons cannot be used due to the influence of acid rain and acidic substances in the air.
The situation here at Sun Meng's place is similar to that at Song Yinghao's place. There is only one well-maintained machine gun and five or six other brand-name guns that can be used.
This also includes two security guards' shotguns and one security guard's pistol.
The arrival of this group of deserters is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
He didn't even bother to use any calculations, so he made the request directly. As long as he guarded the toll station, he didn't worry about Tang Zheng and the others not complying.
The messenger returned to the toll station and made Sun Meng's request.
At this moment, Tang Zheng simply suspected that he had heard wrongly.
He did not expect that Sun Meng would make such a request, and he did not expect that he would actually be wanted by the nobles.
Although it was the end of the world now and the nobles were not wanted with much intensity, Tang Zheng still found it a bit hard to accept.
Zhao Boxiong’s father was not killed by him, so why should he be wanted?
These nobles take their status too seriously.
With anger surging in his heart, Tang Zheng said, "What if I don't agree?"
"Whoosh!"
In the bunker above the toll station, there was the sound of a gun being pulled.
The guard inside said loudly: "Tang, don't be ignorant and refuse the nobles' requests. The people who dare to refuse our baron's requests here are not yet born. Are you deserters tired of living?"
Seeing the men in the bunker with guns raised and menacing, Tang Zheng was filled with anger.
But he didn't act impulsively. He squinted at the bunker in front of him and asked, "Can we take this bunker?"
Luo Fei and the others looked at the door-shaped building and shook their heads slightly.
"General, they are guarding the bunker. They rely on the geographical advantage to defend. It will be very difficult for just a few of us. Unless there is an extra squad of troops, we can attack from the front and back, but we will have to pay some casualties to win."
Tang Zheng took a deep breath: "Let's go and talk about it when we get back."
Watching Tang Zheng and his group retreat, the guards in the bunker laughed.
They used to be private soldiers of the nobles, and they never had the guts to laugh at the royal troops.
This time, it was quite impressive.
Tang Zheng and others returned to Nanhuzhihua Hotel.
After coming back, Tang Zheng didn't get angry, it was just a sign of incompetence.
To deal with such a person, you have to retaliate in kind.
"Get ready, let's clean up the zombies here. Even if we waste three days, we still need to collect a wave of funds. After we upgrade to platoon leader, we can settle the ledger with these people."
The soldiers didn't stay long when they came back, and were ready to go hunting zombies.
Xu Jingqiu happened to come out after finishing lunch. When she saw Tang Zheng and the others coming back and going out, she took the initiative and asked: "Brother Tang, what are you doing?"
Tang Zheng glanced at Xu Jingqiu and said, "I want to collect some gold and silver. There is a need for it in the army."
Xu Jingqiu immediately said: "This is considered a tourist spot. Next to the service hall, there is a silver shop. It is very small and only sells some silver souvenirs and other ornaments. If you can go there, you can go there and have a look.
"
"silverware!"
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up instantly.
He knew that in many tourist areas, there would be people selling silver and jade items for profit, and those tour guides would also take tourists into the shops to get some commissions or something.
I just didn't expect that there is a silverware shop in a service area.
Although the scale of the silverware store here won't be too big, it is one that Tang Zheng urgently needs right now.
After confirming the location of the silver shop, Tang Zheng had dinner and set off again.
Let's take a detour from the wilderness and go to the back of the service hall and then climb up.
"General, the one with the iron bars on the window should be the silver shop."
Tang Zheng looked inside through the window.
There are two rows on the left and right inside, with a total of six sections of counters.
At this moment, most of the counters were broken and in a mess, and there were no zombies in the room.
But no one took those silver zodiac signs, silver fish pendants, silver cups, etc.
After the end of the world, what everyone needs is food, medicine and other supplies, but this gold and silver seems to have been completely forgotten.
"Great, if it weren't for this special situation, I wouldn't have known there was a silver shop here."
"In the rest of the places, the silverware shops are in areas with dense traffic and are usually inaccessible. Only silverware shops like this that are close to the wilderness can be accessed by me."
"Move gently and don't make any noise."
Several soldiers stepped forward, instead of using hammers, they used a few found sticks to pry up the iron fence.
After prying off a few screws below, several soldiers worked together to bend the loose iron fence to reveal a gap through which people could pass.
"Get in!"
Pushing open the window, the group entered the silver shop.
There were occasionally zombies wandering outside the window of the main entrance, but Tang Zheng and his party were not found.
There is no need to say anything now, just collect it as quickly as possible.
Several soldiers acted together, and the silverware in the store was delivered to Tang Zheng in a steady stream.
No matter what kind of silverware it is, once it reaches Tang Zheng's hands, it will be immediately converted into system funds.
[Exchange successfully, get 3.8 gold.]
[Exchange successfully, get 2.7 gold.]
[Exchange successfully, get 5.5 gold.]
There are not too many at once, but the advantage is the large number. The cumulative number is close to 2,000.
About twenty minutes later, the small silverware shop was completely ransacked.
Tang Zheng took a look at the system funds.
Before, he only had less than 500 gold in his hand, but now he has 5,280 gold!
After the funds were in place, Tang Zheng led the people out of the silverware store and chose to upgrade at the back of the store.
[The requirement to kill 100 zombies has been completed. 】
【The next class under my command is full and completed.】
【One thousand funds, completed. 】
[All three requirements have been met and the upgrade conditions are met. Will the general upgrade immediately? 】
"Upgrade now."
[Upgrade completed, congratulations to the general, for unlocking the platoon leader medal.]
[General, please make a choice. Should the headquarters be an ordinary platoon? Fully organized? Or strengthened platoon? 】
"Is there any difference between these three?" Tang Zheng was also a little confused.
[According to the military system, an ordinary platoon has 25 people, an integrated platoon has 35 people, and an enhanced platoon has 45 people. The selection of generals is different, and the difficulty of upgrading the company is also different. The number of kills required for an ordinary platoon to upgrade the company,
The amount of funds is the least, the overall arrangement requires more, and the strengthening arrangement requires the most.】
Tang Zheng did not hesitate and directly chose to strengthen the platoon.
We have just been upgraded to platoon commander, and it is probably still far away to upgrade to company commander in the future. At this time, the more people, the better.
[Confirm the selection, the headquarters is an enhanced platoon, the maximum number of people is 45 people, the upgrade is completed! 】
[The platoon leader’s purchasing authority has been unlocked, please check it, general!]
Upgraded to platoon leader! Brothers, give Platoon Leader Tang a vote!
