Tang Zheng looked at the radar screen and saw Tangtang sneaking out along the river.
He knew that this little guy was looking for food.
Its food may be zombies or mutant beasts, no matter what it is, this little guy is growing bigger and bigger.
Its tentacles are now stretched out to more than eight meters.
Despite this, Tang Zheng still felt that Tangtang was not big enough.
"Before the corpses arrive, I hope you can grow up a little bit. The bigger the better."
Perhaps Tangtang sensed Tang Zheng's thoughts. When Tang Zheng woke up the next morning, he saw a slightly older Tangtang sleeping in the pool.
"It seems to be a little bigger, almost 8.5 meters."
Today is the day for negotiations with the alliance, and Tang Zheng did not participate in person.
The person in charge of the negotiations in Zhuguang City is Guo Yun and a few scientific research soldiers. Tang Zheng gave them a task, that is, not to complete the negotiations today, not to complete them tomorrow, and wait until the day after tomorrow to go there in person.
will give a result.
After receiving Tang Zheng's order, Guo Yun understood the idea and started wrangling with the scientific research soldiers and Lian Na's negotiating team.
The two sides exchanged views on many issues, such as the level of taxation, differences in population statistics, and the possibility of the alliance sending garrison troops to help Zhuguang City defend itself, etc.
Regarding the issue of demographics, the Alliance believes that everyone in Zhuguang City must pay taxes. This is a rule set by the Alliance.
Guo Yun and others believe that there are now a large number of mercenaries and adventurer groups in Chasing Light City. These people are not permanently stationed in Chasing Light City, but only sometimes transport supplies back. These people should not be considered members of Chasing Light City.
Chasing Light City will not pay taxes to them either.
The two sides discussed this issue back and forth all morning, and in the afternoon they reached an agreement that these people do not need to pay taxes.
However, there are a large number of these people, and the specific statistical work is also a difficult problem.
There is also the issue of the level of taxation. Guo Yun believes that if the alliance wants to garrison troops, it should not continue to levy taxes. These two issues should not exist at the same time. The alliance should make a choice, either to negotiate on the garrison issue or to
Negotiations on the issue of taxation cannot proceed without a clear answer from the Alliance.
The first day of negotiations only turned out to be a non-issue, because once Zhuguang City agreed to garrison troops, then population statistics and taxation would be meaningless.
Lian Na and others returned to their residence, quite satisfied with today's negotiation.
Because Zhuguang City has not completely sealed the garrison's mouth, it seems that there is still some discussion.
It seems that Tang Zheng also realized that his current manpower shortage is not enough to defend such a large city.
He wants to use the power of the alliance, but he doesn't want the alliance to take advantage here, so he has to carefully consider the balance between this.
After discussing it and asking Xie Jinshan for instructions, they decided to completely abandon the issue of taxation and try their best to secure the garrison.
In the second day of negotiations, this issue must be finalized.
When the negotiations started the next day, Tang Zheng had already left Zhuguang City.
He has now arrived in Fengcheng.
When he felt that the zombie army should have passed through Fengcheng, Tang Zheng wanted to go over and take a look at the situation, but what he didn't expect was that the zombie army turned a corner here in Fengcheng and instead of continuing north, entered Fengcheng City.
district.
This made Tang Zheng a little confused. He didn't know what this group of corpses was going to do, so he followed them to the sky above Fengcheng.
The plane landed on the rooftop of a tall building more than 100 meters high.
Landing a helicopter here is also very risky, because there are many mutant birds in the sky above the city.
When the plane arrived, many mutant birds tried to get closer. The soldiers kept shooting and driving them away. It took a long time before they found a place to land.
Tang Zheng stood on the rooftop, looking at the corpses pouring into the city below.
The number of this group of corpses is at least 600,000, but it is nothing after entering Fengcheng.
In Fengcheng, there are hundreds of millions of zombies spread throughout every corner of the city.
The arrival of this group of corpses is like a river entering the sea, and it is inconspicuous at all.
However, Tang Zheng soon discovered that this river was not simple.
When the zombies entered the city, they actually attacked the zombies around them!
This greatly surprised Tang Zheng.
You know, zombies never actively attack each other when they are alive.
After they die, their companions will eat their bodies, but not while they are alive.
But I didn't expect that this group of zombies would actually attack the zombies in Fengcheng.
The attacked zombies naturally did not wait for death and immediately started to fight back.
The battle between zombies is very cruel and bloody. They attack each other with sharp teeth and sharp claws, just like wild beasts.
However, humans are not beasts in nature. Their claws and claws are not as powerful as beasts, and it is difficult to kill the opponent with one blow.
You bite me, I scratch him, and he bites you again.
It doesn't matter if his intestines are pulled out, and he doesn't care if his face is bitten until the bones are exposed.
Until one party is completely torn apart, the winner may not be able to enjoy a good meal, because others of the same kind will soon arrive.
In such a battle, ordinary zombies can only be consumables, and there is no permanent winner.
The real winners are those mutant zombies, or those who are about to become mutant zombies.
Their claws are sharper and their defense is more powerful, making it difficult for ordinary zombies to attack. Instead, they can easily kill ordinary zombies and obtain food easily.
The more they swallow, the more powerful they will become. This kind of battle is a virtuous circle for mutant zombies.
As the battle continued, the number of fallen zombies was countless.
But among this group, there are more and more mutated zombies.
When Tang Zheng saw a licker appear among the zombies and continuously kill other zombies, he completely understood the intention of the leader of the zombies.
It is building an elite zombie army!
"I didn't expect that zombies could be evolved in this way, and even lickers were created. This group of zombies is not easy to deal with."
Tang Zheng held the telescope and continued to observe the situation of the corpses below, and soon made another discovery.
"That zombie looks so big."
Among the corpses, he found a huge zombie that seemed to be over three meters tall.
This zombie waved his arm and punched the two-meter-high iron armor next to him to death, and then put it in his mouth to devour it.
Compared with the armor, it is more than two heads taller, and its body's strength is doubled.
If a piece of armor can weigh 200 kilograms, it must weigh at least 400 kilograms.
Through the telescope, Tang Zheng could clearly see the ferocious appearance of this zombie.
The zombie's face has undergone some changes. It no longer looks human, and is more like a beast. Its fangs stick out of its mouth like a vampire. Its torso and arms are incredibly thick. It looks like a gorilla that has been enlarged countless times.
.
The head was as big as a water tank, and the cuticles on his body had also changed.
The cuticles of the original armored zombies were like scales, but now the cuticles of the orangutan zombies are thicker, and there seems to be a layer of oily substance on the surface.
"Back then, the skin of armored zombies could barely resist rifle bullets. The defense of this kind of orangutan zombie seems to be much stronger than that of armored zombies."
Tang Zheng waved to a sniper, "Shoot on this thing."
This sniper is not Chu Xuan, but a one-star sniper transferred from the field company after Chu Xuan became the commander of the city guard company.
After receiving the order, the sniper raised his gun on the rooftop and fired at the orangutan zombies below.
"Bang!"
One shot hits.
Tang Zheng looked through the telescope and clearly saw the body of the orangutan zombie staggered. The shot hit the top of the head, and some dark brown blood seeped out.
The hit was a hit, but it didn't kill the zombie. It only caused minor injuries to this zombie.
"General, my Steyr sniper rifle has a caliber of 7.62 mm. It has no problem killing armored men, but it is not enough to cause fatal damage to this kind of zombies."
Tang Zheng did not hesitate and immediately purchased a Barrett from the system.
"Try this gun."
The Barrett sniper rifle is known as the king of sniper rifles. With a large caliber of 12.7 mm, it can even penetrate armored vehicles.
Tang Zheng didn't believe that this kind of gorilla zombie could block Barrett's shot.
The sniper took over the new gun and was about to take aim when the situation changed.
The orangutan zombie below seemed to sense danger and actually entered a building on the roadside.
Not only it, but also two lickers also entered the house on the roadside, giving no angle for the snipers upstairs to shoot.
"The Corpse King, the Corpse King of this zombie group, has discovered us a long time ago, but he hid in the dark and refused to appear. Now that he has discovered that we are going to kill high-level zombies, he has taken precautions."
Tang Zheng could also confirm at this moment that the corpse king of this corpse group had wisdom that was not inferior to that of humans.
But Tang Zheng didn't want to give up so easily, he had to wait for another chance.
From morning to afternoon, Tang Zheng has been waiting for the opportunity on this rooftop.
With the portable radar around, he doesn't have to worry about being surrounded and attacked by zombies. With the helicopter around, he can leave at any time.
During this process, he discovered that the corpse group had undergone new changes.
A large number of zombies poured into the building, and many of them were carrying some sundries.
Tang Zheng even saw a group of zombies pushing a rusty cash transport truck into the room.
Seeing such a move, Tang Zheng had some suspicions in his heart.
He felt that the zombie leader might be protecting the orangutan zombies and lickers.
If this is the case, the difficulty of killing this zombie will be greatly increased.
His suspicion was confirmed in the afternoon.
The orangutan zombie that appeared again had really added protection on its head.
Large pieces of bulletproof car doors, bulletproof glass, some iron pieces, iron filings, and even metal rust were covered in the oily substance on the zombie's head.
This made the orangutan zombie's already huge head immediately grow twice in size, and its defense looked extremely terrifying.
Looking at this artificially modified monster, Tang Zheng asked the sniper: "Are you sure you can kill it?"
The sniper was also a little unsure: "If it were the previous orangutan, it should be able to shoot, but it's hard to say now. The thickness of the protection and the cuticle of the zombie itself make it much more difficult to shoot, and this
The zombies have already taken precautions against me, so I’m not sure, but I can give it a try.”
Tang Zheng waved his hand: "No need to try. There are too many zombies here. Even if you can kill a few, it is meaningless. Instead, it will make the zombie king realize his shortcomings and make more preparations. In a few days, others may come.
