On the highway, a sign saying "Qinzhou welcomes you" stands there. It is rusty and seems to be about to collapse at any time.
Tang Zheng's home is in Tailai Town, Mingshui County, Qinzhou City.
Get off the expressway in front and walk along the provincial highway for more than 100 kilometers until you reach Mingshui.
Tang Zheng hadn't gone home from the highway for a long time, and when he saw this, his heart surged.
"If we move quickly enough, we'll probably be home this afternoon."
"It's really not easy. After trekking on the road for more than ten days, I finally came back."
"It's time to call my sister and ask her about her situation."
After taking out his mobile phone, Tang Zheng suddenly discovered that there was no internet connection on his mobile phone.
"It shouldn't be. According to analysis, there will be a power outage within one month of the end of the world. After the power outage, everyone will be disconnected from the Internet for about three days. Now is the twenty-second day of the end of the world. There should be at least ten days left."
Tang Zheng repeatedly found a place to test, but there was still no network signal, which made him very distressed.
People who are accustomed to communication will be very uncomfortable once they are unable to contact the outside world at any time.
But things had already happened, and Tang Zheng had no choice but to keep moving forward.
After walking along the highway for a while, the convoy began to leave the highway and headed for the provincial highway.
The situation on the provincial road is slightly worse, but the number of zombies is not large, and there is basically no obstacle to the progress of the convoy.
Tang Zheng felt a little anxious, so he told Yang Mu who was driving: "Turn on the radio and listen to music."
Yang Mu turned on the car radio and then said: "General, we did not download any music songs."
Tang Zheng was a little speechless, he thought it was before the end of the world.
Seeing that Tang Zheng stopped talking, Yang Mu fiddled with the radio casually a few times.
I randomly tuned to a frequency, and suddenly, a voice came from the radio.
"Zizi~~~! This is Qinzhou Airport Base, you can hear it."
"Zizzizi~~~! We... have a population of 3,000...weapons...have protection...zizzi~~~!"
"Leader Bai Ling... recruits survivors... The food distribution is as follows, one... sizzling..., two... sizzling."
Intermittent sounds kept coming, and Tang Zheng was confused.
"What's going on?"
"General, someone may have established a base and recruited survivors, but I can't hear the specific situation. After all, I'm not a professional."
When Tang Zheng heard the word professional, he suddenly thought that he could buy a correspondent.
And on the equipment page, something is unlocked.
Opened it and took a look.
[Military communication radio station: It can be used for battlefield communications, it can also accept civilian signals, and has a call function. 5 radio walkie-talkies are given as a gift. The price is 500 gold.]
Turned to the soldier page again.
[Signal Corps: Price is 300 gold.]
When buying in bulk a few days ago, Tang Zheng decided that the Signal Corps was a bit expensive and money was tight, so he didn't buy it.
In fact, the communication soldier itself is not expensive, but a communication radio station alone costs 500 gold. This is the most expensive thing.
But now Tang Zheng doesn't think so.
It seems that some survival bases have begun to appear in Qinzhou Mingshui and other places.
Now that he has returned to his hometown, Tang Zheng cannot leave in a short time. He still needs to have an understanding of the local situation.
This Willys car radio is not very easy to use. It seems that I need to buy a radio and then learn more about the surrounding situation.
In the past few days, every night when camping in the wild, the soldiers would clean up the surrounding zombies to ensure the safety of Tang Zheng.
Sometimes when you encounter a lot of zombies on the road, there will be some small-scale battles, and you can also collect some funds.
Each harvest was not much, but after nearly four days of journey, I had accumulated more than 1,300 gold.
Tang Zheng simply clicked on the purchase, directly purchased a communication soldier and a communication radio, and equipped the communication soldier with some basic equipment, such as military uniforms, pistols, etc.
At this moment, he discovered the advantage of Xu Jingqiu not being in his car. At least he didn't have to worry about buying soldiers.
After a while, a new recruit appeared in the car and sat next to Tang Zheng.
"Correspondent Wu Di, report to the general!"
Tang Zheng looked at the correspondent and saw that he was a kind-faced young man. The one thing that was different from other recruits was that he was carrying a radio box behind his back.
Tang Zheng nodded: "Tell me about your situation."
"Reporting to the general, my basic abilities are similar to those of a conscript. What I am good at is controlling radio stations and detecting news. My memory is relatively good and I can deliver information and orders accurately and in a timely manner."
"The radio station behind me can be used for battlefield command and can also be used to receive civilian signal sources. It is also equipped with five radio walkie-talkies that can communicate with the radio station. The current communication range is 150 kilometers.
"
If these things were before the end of the world, they would not be of much use, but after returning to Qinzhou, the mobile phone signal was no longer available, and the radio station showed something different.
It seems that the system has considered it carefully. After the end of the world, mobile phones will definitely be eliminated, and the same will be true for telephones. By then, primitive radio stations like this will be able to play a role.
And looking at Qinzhou here, it seems that the radio has been used for some days, so it shouldn't be a day or two when the mobile phone has no signal.
"Okay, Wu Di, now listen carefully and see what's going on here in Qinzhou? After listening, give me a report."
"clear!"
Wu Di exchanged positions with Ji Yuntian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and began to play with his radio.
The signal source of this kind of radio station is indeed relatively strong, and the received voice is relatively clear.
Tang Zheng heard a lot of nonsense on the radio.
The first is the problem of mobile phone signal here.
There was no signal here in Qinzhou a week ago.
When acid rain hit the world, it was not uniform in every place. The rainfall here in Qinzhou was relatively abundant. While other places had acid rain for three days, this place had four days of acid rain.
This has led to serious corrosion of the signal tower base stations here. You must know that it is not only acid rain that corrodes metal, but also acidic substances in the air after rain.
So there was no signal here a week ago, and even the power started to go out irregularly. Some places still had power, and some places had no power.
It has been almost a month since the end of the world, and dozens of survival bases of various sizes have been developed in Qinzhou City.
Moreover, many of these bases have produced radios and walkie-talkies. One base has established a frequency band so that everyone can talk on the channel, and a certain degree of communication has been restored.
Some conflicts even broke out between some bases.
Tang Zheng learned this information when he heard the two base leaders scolding each other on the radio.
As for some small bases, they rarely speak in the channel. The channel is already dominated by the big guys.
Some messages are solicitations, some messages are acquisitions, and some are just meaningless insults.
After listening, Tang Zheng fell asleep.
When I woke up, the convoy had already approached Mingshui County.
This is still 35 kilometers away from Tailai Town, Tang Zheng's hometown.
Seeing Tang Zheng wake up, correspondent Wu Di took the initiative and said: "General, I have roughly figured out the distribution of forces in Qinzhou, and I will give you a brief report."
"Okay, let's talk."
Wu Di cleared his throat: "General, there are currently seven major forces in Qinzhou."
"The first one is Qinzhou City Logistics Park Base. The leader is called Li Xiaofeng. This person is the boss of the logistics park and has the title of Imperial Viscount. He occupies the entire logistics park and has sufficient supplies. He currently has an armed force of 500 people.
There are more than 7,000 survivors in the base, including not only his private fighting company, but also many security guards, who have relatively strong combat capabilities. It is considered the largest force in Qinzhou."
"The leader of the second Qinzhou Airport Base, Bai Ling, is said to be the female security captain of the airport. He is very skilled and leads passengers to save themselves after the apocalypse. He has a high prestige at the airport. He currently has more than 300 armed forces under his command, and there are only a few survivors.
There are more than six thousand, and the level of weapons and equipment is considered average in Qinzhou."
"The leader of the third Qinzhou Prison Base, Han Yuhu, used to be the prison management captain. After the apocalypse, in order to save himself, he took the initiative to release a large number of prisoners and formed a self-rescue team. With the weapons and equipment of the prison, he successfully cleared out the prison.
The zombies around them have formed a force. Currently, there are 300 armed forces and more than 2,000 survivors. The weapons and equipment are relatively good, and they have a natural base as a prison. Security is guaranteed, but their reputation is not very good.
"
"The fourth Qinzhou Chamber of Commerce base is a joint base of a group of Qinzhou merchants. The Chamber of Commerce is on the outskirts of Qinzhou. These merchants also have a certain amount of power. Many of their bodyguards are qualified to hold guns, but most of the weapons are
It's a pistol. They have more than 200 armed forces and more than 4,000 survivors."
"The fifth one is Yuanshan County Hot Spring Base. It is a tourist area with a large number of tourists. Now it is integrated by a Lord named Zhou Hua. Their advantage is the geographical location. It is located in the mountainous area. It will be safer after the zombies are cleared.
There are currently 300 armed forces and more than 4,000 survivors, but the level of weapons and equipment is poor, and many people still use cold weapons such as crossbows, arrows, knives and guns."
"The sixth one is the Jinxiu County Industrial Park Base. The leader is Liao Yucheng. It is a heavy industry base with many construction vehicles. Liao Yucheng is a contractor. Most of his subordinates are workers and drivers. There are more than 200 armed forces. They
The advantage is the fleet of heavy trucks, but the disadvantage is that the weapons are inferior, and the number of survivors is more than 2,000."
"The seventh one is the Bailushan Park Base. The leader is Xie Lanlan. This base is different from other bases. Although the leader is a woman like Bai Ling, when she recruits, she mainly targets women and her banner is to protect women.
Therefore, many surviving women are willing to go to her side, where there are also the most women. There are 4,000 people in the entire base, and women account for more than 3,000. The current armed force is about 200 people, but the disadvantage is that the weapons are poor."
"These are the seven largest bases in Qinzhou. There are also many small and medium-sized bases. For example, in Mingshui County, there are three small and medium-sized bases. However, I haven't counted the ones with less than 2,000 people."
After Tang Zheng listened, he remained silent.
Those who were able to establish a base were those who had an early advantage. After being delayed on the road for more than ten days, the world was quietly changing.
It is conceivable that the future will definitely be a chaotic time.
