On the morning of the next day, Tang Zheng and his party, four of them, drove a found Hercules off-road vehicle and started heading to Lombard City.
When the vehicle left the south gate, Tang Zheng looked back and looked at Zhuguang City.
Viewed from this perspective, it is completely different from viewing it in the city.
Relying on the angle between the two peaks, a miraculous city rose from the ground.
The twenty-meter-high city wall stretches for a full five kilometers.
Above the city wall, watchtowers stand tall.
The early morning light fell, giving the city a bright coat of color.
Fengming River meanders out of the city, like the Tianhe River.
On the city wall, there are still some flags fluttering in the wind.
Tang Zheng came up with these flags last night. After all, an army cannot live without flags.
There is something different between the flag and the emblem. It is the scene where the sun breaks through the dark clouds and the sky suddenly appears.
The light part is dyed with fluorescent powder. The flag is unfolded in the wind. When it blows in the wind, the light seems to be flashing continuously. It can be seen even at night, making people unable to help but pay attention.
The light that represents hope also represents a spirit of never giving up, which is also a pursuit of light.
Several huge city gates make people want to go deep into the city to find out.
If such a city was built in less than a week, no one would believe it.
Regarding this issue, Tang Zheng also has a draft.
Anyway, no one came to this place, so he just took it as he said. He said it was built a month ago, or even before the end of the world, but no one could verify it.
The car left Zhuguang City and walked for a while before getting onto the country road.
Follow the country road and start heading north.
The area managed by the Northern Territory Alliance is very large, and there are many zombies in this area. Just within a hundred kilometers of Tang Zheng's area, there are no less than ten million zombies in Qingquan and Caiqi counties.
Looking at the entire area, there should be about 500 million zombies here.
Of course, it is impossible for the Northern Territory Alliance to clean up such a huge number of zombies, nor does it have the ability.
But they did a good job cleaning up the roads.
Even on the rural road that Tang Zheng walked, there were no zombies to be seen. Even the cars that were scrapped on the road were basically pushed into the ditches on the roadside.
The weeds on the roadside are swallowing up these scrapped vehicles.
The acidic substances in the air are also constantly corroding cars. Maybe it won't be long before these once-civilized products will completely disappear.
Now that Tang Zheng was able to rescue some large machinery and vehicles, it was relatively timely. In two months, the engines would have rotted instead of rusted.
It is conceivable that in a few months, apart from the existing cars, there will be no cars available in the world.
Unless humans can restore the production line and build new cars with acid resistance.
However, Tang Zheng did not believe that private forces could accomplish such a feat in a short period of time. Let alone a few months, there might be no hope for a year or two.
Therefore, today's cars are precious treasures, because maintenance is always slack, and corrosion shows no sign of stopping.
After an hour of bumpy driving on the road, the car finally got on the provincial highway.
This is the road from Qingquan County to Lumba City, so most people going from south to north have to take this road.
After walking on the road for about another hour, it was already close to noon.
In another hour at most, they would be able to reach the University of Agriculture, Forestry and Animal Husbandry. Tang Zheng was not in a hurry and stopped the car to have a rest and eat something.
Just as the car stopped, another car drove up from behind.
Tang Zheng was a little surprised because this was the first time he encountered other vehicles on the road since the end of the world.
The other party was also a car. Tang Zheng scanned it with radar and found four people inside.
"Pay attention, don't be too nervous."
Looking at Ji Yuntian, Guo Yun and others who were on guard, Tang Zheng gave instructions.
This car was a very clean Laura luxury car, which cost several million before the end of the world. At this time, it was also parked next to Tang Zheng and the others.
The car door opened and a man got out.
When he saw this person's face, Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment.
know.
The other party does not know him, but he has seen the other party through the perspective of the drone.
This person is none other than the Imperial Count Yong Linling from Fengcheng Dance Academy.
Yong Linling got out of the car and after seeing Tang Zheng and others, he carefully looked at their military uniforms.
After reading it, he patted his chest.
"Ouch, I was shocked. I thought it was the Imperial Royal Troops who showed up, but it turned out not to be the case."
Tang Zheng saw that Yong Linling was wearing the ceremonial dress of an imperial earl, neatly and elegantly dressed, and holding a civilized stick in his hand. He was completely different from what he was in the dance academy.
It can be seen that he still attaches great importance to his noble status.
Tang Zheng pretended that he didn't know the other person and smiled: "It turns out he is an earl. I met a noble person today."
Yong Linling waved his hand: "It's all in the past. Before I contacted the imperial family, I was just the leader of a survival base."
Tang Zheng smiled and said: "Oh, so Mr. Earl is also going to the Agriculture and Forestry University base."
"You also know, so you are also the leader of a survival base?"
After speaking, without waiting for Tang Zheng to answer, he carefully looked at the equipment and cars of Tang Zheng and his party.
"An AK47, a few pistols, a radio, and you actually have a Sandhawk. The equipment is pretty good, but the car is a bit miserable, but I can understand that the leaders of most bases now are almost you.
This level.”
Tang Zheng still smiled: "That's true. After all, we don't have enough manpower to maintain daily vehicle maintenance, but I can't understand it. You are an earl, and that Xie Jinshan is also an earl, and you actually go back to support him."
Hearing Tang Zheng's words, Yong Linlin immediately started chatting.
Maybe it's because he maintains his own identity and doesn't care much about Tang Zheng knowing something, or maybe it's just his personality.
He came to the side of the road and took a cigar from his subordinate.
He lit it up and smoked it himself, without giving Tang Zheng one.
Tang Zheng can also understand that these nobles have not yet changed their minds, and this is the norm.
Yong Linling took a puff of cigarette before speaking slowly: "I didn't want to go at first. Xie Jinshan just became the speaker of the Northern Territory Alliance. His title is the same as mine and he is not qualified to order me. When the empire recovers,
He, the Speaker, should step down, but not this time, because there is a troublemaker like the International Base. Do you know about the International Base?"
Tang Zheng nodded slightly: "I've heard of it."
"This group of people are called scum. About a month ago, they ruined a good thing for me. As an imperial noble, of course I couldn't stand their rude provocation, so I made some counterattacks. As a result, Xie Jinshan reprimanded me on the radio.
Me, let me not cause trouble."
"At that time, I considered putting the overall situation first and giving him face. However, I will not go to the report this time, and I have no intention of paying taxes to him."
"But the group of people from the international base have gone, and they must have arrived first by now. That old pervert Jonathan is the best at stirring up trouble. He said it was to clarify that the group of mercenaries active outside are not his people. In fact, I know that, then
He was the one who caused the crowd, and no bastard other than him would do such a thing."
"Ahem..."
Tang Zheng coughed a few times, and Yong Linling asked him concernedly if he felt unwell.
Tang Zheng waved his hand, indicating to the other party to continue.
"He went there and planned to file a lawsuit against me. Although Xie Jinshan wouldn't believe his words, I couldn't let him smear me wantonly, so I have to go this time."
After spitting out a basketful of words, out of politeness, Yong Linling asked Tang Zheng again: "Excuse me, what base does this leader belong to?"
"My name is Tang Zheng, my base is called Chasing Light City, and my team is called Chasing Light Army."
"Oh? Chasing Light City, haven't you heard of this place?"
"It's on the edge of Guyun Mountain. I guess you've never been there."
"It's true that I've never been there, but it's fate that we met today. If I have the opportunity to visit your place, you can also come to my manor base as a guest."
Tang Zheng nodded and said nothing more. He did not want Yong Linling to go to his base.
Because in a few days, my sister and the others will be here.
Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't answer, Yong Linling didn't continue the conversation, and the greetings between the two ended here.
Yong Linling got on the car and left first.
Tang Zheng and others ate something and set off again.
About an hour later, the surrounding scenery changed.
About one kilometer ahead, we will arrive at the Agriculture and Forestry University Base.
The road has been cleaned very clean, and there are no signs of zombie activity nearby.
There is a bridge in front, and the river flows from the university base.
There should be a small river passing through this university. It seems that Tang Zheng is not the only one who pays attention to water sources.
There are some sandbags piled up on the bridge, and there are people guarding here with light machine guns.
There are also some barbed wire roadblocks on the bridge deck, and some wooden watchtowers have been erected on the roadside, with men with guns and binoculars standing guard on them.
At the bridgehead, there were still vehicles blocking the road, and people were doing routine inspections.
There are already several cars on the bridge, and they all seem to be base leaders coming here from various places.
If the inspection passes, someone will remove the barbed wire barriers and let the vehicles pass.
It seems that we have reached the sphere of influence of the university base, and we cannot get through without inspection.
"General, I have contacted Luo Fei and the others. They are at the edge of a forest three kilometers away from here. We can come and provide support at any time if we need it."
Tang Zheng raised his head and looked at the sky: "It feels like it's going to rain. Tell the soldiers to take precautions."
"Don't worry, General. There is a large piece of canvas inside the car to cover it."
"That's good, let's go over and see what kind of strength the Northern Territory Alliance has?"
