After defeating Liao Yucheng's troops, Tang Zheng led the team back to Zhuguang City.
The manor base is now included in the management scope of Zhuguang City. Before returning, Tang Zheng sent administrative officers here and added a company of city guards.
Although there was only one company of defenders, Tang Zheng was not worried at all, because Tang Zheng left another hundred war eagles around this area to monitor the movements in Qinzhou.
Moreover, Tang Zheng built another radar station on Fengming Mountain.
On Tang Zheng's system map, the radar station is like a lighting lamp that can illuminate a circular range of three hundred kilometers in diameter.
With the dual surveillance of radar and war eagle, once Liao Yucheng sends someone, Tang Zheng will get the news as soon as possible and react.
After doing all this, Tang Zheng returned to Zhuguang City, and at the same time sent a large force to set off again to Shuanglin County.
Tang Zheng still doesn't have much money in hand now. He needs a certain amount of war preparation funds. If Shuanglin County is taken, he will have money and soldiers, and the war potential is huge.
The four field battalions of the Zhuguang Army, as well as two armored battalions, an artillery battalion, and the Army Aviation Battalion set out together to strive to capture Shuanglin before mid-December.
The troops went out to fight, and the surrounding situation gradually stabilized.
Liu Yibang was busy attacking Hezhou and had no time to think about anything else for a while.
Liao Yucheng firmly defended Qinzhou and did not dare to act rashly in the short term.
Daliao was blocked by the Tongtian River, so it was unrealistic to cross the river silently. Tang Zheng also set up an observation post by the river to monitor the movements of Daliao.
The three forces all calmed down, and Tang Zheng's life became leisurely again.
People who come from the system are very capable and will not have any thoughts of being lazy or slippery. They will take care of all aspects of Zhuguang City in an orderly manner.
Apart from visiting his family or playing with Tangtang by the pool, Tang Zheng couldn't find anything else to do every day.
It was okay to live like this for a day or two, but after five days, Tang Zheng became a little tired of it.
He wanted to go out and relax, and he didn't want to go anywhere else, so he just walked around and had fun in Zhuguang City.
But Tang Zheng also knew that Zhuguang City was not a pure land, nor was it very safe.
The prosperity of the city has also brought many negative things. For example, if guns are not prohibited, violent incidents often occur.
The Sheriff's Department handles dozens of fights every day, and shootings happen every now and then.
Even in the city, there are already many evil gangs. What kind of gangs have they formed? They are like rivers and lakes, and there are often fights and fights.
Moreover, Tang Zheng knew that his identity was very important and he could never be easily involved in danger, even if there was a possibility of being involved in danger.
There were countless people in the Northern Territory who wanted him dead, and he would not give those people a chance.
Normally, he would bring a large number of guards with him when he goes out, but that would take away the fun of playing.
The last time Ji Yuntian and Ning Yuwei went out together, the city was relatively safe at that time, but now the situation is different.
But Tang Zheng was still bored and really wanted to go out for a walk.
As a result, Guo Yun from the scientific research institute found Tang Zheng and asked him to wait for another two days.
He reported an important matter to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng had thousands of troops under his command and was unrivaled across the northern region, but his own strength was still weak.
As for Tang Zheng's strength and physical fitness, due to his long-term use of mutated beast meat, he is already close to that of a mutant.
But in actual comparison, there is still a gap between him and the mutants. After all, Tang Zheng has always improved quantitatively, but not in essence.
A long time ago, Tang Zheng had wondered if he could evolve once, but his situation was different.
After all, as the host of the system, he is responsible for not only his own destiny, but also the fate of thousands of Light-Chasing Army soldiers.
Evolution is risky, and there are also examples of failure in first-level evolution. Tang Zheng cannot take any risks.
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the scientific research institute has been conducting research on this topic.
Fortunately, the results have finally been achieved. Guo Yun and the others have found a foolproof way to upgrade Tang Zheng.
After hearing the news, Tang Zheng suppressed his mood for the time being and decided to wait for another two days.
Fortunately, things went very smoothly. Two days later, Guo Yun found Tang Zheng and said that he was ready to start evolving.
Tang Zheng followed Guo Yun and came to the Gene Research Institute.
Inside the institute, the staff here are ready.
On a bed, various instruments and props have been prepared, including many tubes and so on. Tang Zheng couldn't figure out what they were used for.
Guo Yun gave Tang Zheng an explanation.
"General, for the sake of your personal safety, we have made a lot of preparations. For example, when you take the crystal for the first time, we will always monitor your heartbeat rate, pulse beat, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, etc.
, if your body cannot bear it, we will discharge the energy through tubes so that your body can transition smoothly to ensure a successful upgrade."
Tang Zheng thought for a while: "If I remember correctly, when other survivors evolved, they could basically survive it if they were in good health. Isn't my body good enough? It takes so long to prepare?"
"General, according to the probability, your physical strength and evolution success rate have reached 99%, but we have to make sure that everything is foolproof, and you also know that there are already a lot of mutants outside, if nothing else.
Leaders of forces and the like are just groups of adventurers, many of whom are led by mutants, so ordinary mutants are no longer valuable."
"So this time, we want you to evolve beyond the ordinary level one, so as to pave the way for you to become a level two mutant in the future. Therefore, the evolution time this time may be a bit long, and you may need to take it continuously.
Just multiple crystals will do.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
His own strength is insufficient and he needs a large number of guards at all times, but the protection of others is ultimately an external force and is not as reliable as his own strength at critical moments.
First-level mutants are people who have only taken one crystal, and there are already many such people now.
But fewer and fewer people continue to take the second or even third pill, because the further they evolve, the greater the risk.
If there is a specific realm division for this kind of evolution, then those who take a crystal would be at the early stage of the first level.
Two crystals are the middle stage, three crystals are the late stage, and four crystals are the peak.
If you want to become a Level 2 mutant, you must first reach the peak of Level 1. Such people are definitely rare.
You must have good physical fitness and strong support, otherwise the crystals of level two zombies will not be available to ordinary people.
There is even an element of luck involved. Some people are prepared for everything, but there are many examples of evolution failing in the end.
Now Guo Yun said that he could break through the ordinary level one, which made Tang Zheng very happy.
"Very good, you can definitely break through the early stage of level one, right?"
"Don't worry, General. Since I dare to let you start evolving, I am confident that this evolution can only be successful. There is no danger. But how far it can be achieved depends on whether your own potential is sufficient.
Even in the worst case, I will ensure that you reach the mid-level level."
"Okay, let's start."
Tang Zheng followed Guo Yun's method and took off his shirt, then lay on the bed.
Some instruments were connected to his body and began to monitor his physical changes.
Guo Yun prepared a box of crystals, with a total of four crystals.
These four crystals are all crystals from armored zombies.
As a man, Tang Zheng naturally hopes that his strength will be stronger. The crystals of agile zombies are used to increase speed and flexibility. They come from the bodies of female zombies. After Tang Zheng considered it, he did not evolve in this direction.
Guo Yun took out a crystal and asked Tang Zheng to swallow it.
Although the zombies are disgusting, the crystals are very beautiful, like crystal jelly.
Tang Zheng took it and swallowed it in one gulp.
The body began to gradually heat up, and waves of tingling sensations spread throughout the body.
Over there, Guo Yun saw this situation and immediately turned on an instrument, and the stinging sensation quickly subsided.
His body continued to heat up, and Tang Zheng seemed to feel that his muscles were constantly expanding and compressing, and his cells seemed to be reorganizing.
The numbers on the surrounding instruments were constantly changing, showing that Tang Zheng's physical strength was constantly rising.
Guo Yun pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "For power mutants, the degree of mutation is an arm strength of 500 kilograms. This level is the minimum standard. In fact, there will be some differences based on individual differences. We can check it from the monitor
It can be seen from above that the general's arm strength is increasing."
The metal pieces and tubes connected to an arm are connected to the instrument, clearly reflecting the increase in arm strength.
"The initial arm strength is more than 400 kilograms. The general can easily reach the standard and is about to complete his evolution."
"It's 500 kilograms and it hasn't evolved yet."
Guo Yun looked at the instrument and saw that the number on the instrument jumped directly to 600 kilograms.
"No, this power has reached the standard. Why hasn't the general evolved?"
Seeing that the strength index was still rising slowly and had exceeded 700 kilograms, Guo Yun suddenly understood something.
"I know, the general has taken too much mutated beast meat, even the purified part of mutated beast meat. His physical strength itself is close to that of a mutant, so his degree of evolution must be higher."
The scientific research soldier next to him asked: "How far can it go? I see that the general's skin seems to be a little red."
Guo Yun glanced at the instrument. The number on it exceeded 800, and he became a little nervous: "Red skin is not a good sign, it is a precursor to physical imbalance. If it reaches 1000 and cannot evolve, then the instrument must be started.
, let his body power flow out to ensure that his life will not be in danger."
At this time, Tang Zheng opened his eyes and asked proactively: "Is there any other way?"
Guo Yun looked at the instrument again and saw that it was already 900. He said with some urgency: "The other way is a bit risky, which is to continue taking the crystals of agile zombies to make the body more flexible and flexible. Once successful, you will not only have the power of a power mutant, but also have the power of a mutant.
At the same time, you also have the flexibility of an agile mutant, becoming a double mutant, but if you fail, you may not be able to evolve again in the future."
Tang Zheng smiled: "If you can't evolve, you can't evolve. I originally relied on the power of the group, and personal power is just the icing on the cake. I have lived well before, so why not try to complete the double mutation? Come on
, bring the crystal."
After hearing Tang Zheng's instructions, Guo Yun simply gritted his teeth and handed a box of agile zombie crystals to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng took one and swallowed it in one gulp.
At this time, his strength data stopped at 1000, and his body seemed to have undergone another cellular reorganization.
Fortunately, there was pain relief equipment, so Tang Zheng didn't feel any pain.
After this lasted for about five minutes, Tang Zheng's closed eyes suddenly opened. Because his body was full of energy, a white light seemed to flash through his eyes.
