Tang Zheng and others continued to move forward and crossed a bridge.
There is also an inscription on the bridge, Lover's Bridge.
It seems that this was a place where couples would often come in the university in the past.
After crossing the bridge, you will find the headquarters building.
There is an elevator here, but it is out of service now.
It has been almost two months since the apocalypse began, and power has been cut out in all places. Where there is still power, it is basically powered by generators.
However, ordinary generators are somewhat unable to bear the burden of things like elevators.
Therefore, this kind of large-scale electrical equipment is basically a decoration.
Fortunately, the stairs were very clean, and Tang Zheng and others went up to the third floor.
Entering the cafeteria hall, there are many people here, but it is not that noisy.
Those who can be the leader of the base, and come to the alliance headquarters again, are relatively status-conscious and will not make any noise.
Tang Zheng even saw Yong Linling and a few people sitting at a table in the distance eating.
I looked around and saw that the food here was not rich.
After the end of the world, the most lacking thing now is vegetables.
In ordinary vegetable fields, the vegetables are buried by weeds, deprived of nutrients and moisture, and have withered.
And the green vegetables in the supermarket have long since rotted and turned into mud.
But here, you can still see some vegetables, but not many.
Most of the dishes here are soy products, bacon, river fish and other things.
"No mutated beast meat? It seems that the alliance is not very generous."
Mutated beast meat is rare for ordinary people, but for a force like the Alliance with a population of hundreds of thousands, it shouldn't be that rare.
Normally, it would be fine if I didn't give it, but today when I entertained the leaders of various bases, they were actually unwilling to pay even a little bit of blood.
Tang Zheng found an empty seat and sat down, while Ji Yuntian and others went to get food.
I came back after a while and brought four lunch boxes.
The rice is brown rice and the dishes are just so-so.
"General, there is still a gap between this and the food in our cooking class." ωωw..net
"Forget it, don't worry about it. Our situation is not universal. At least for the survivors outside, the food here is already a dream."
After Tang Zheng ate a box of lunch, he didn't really want to eat anymore, and his usual good appetite was gone.
At a table next to him, several foreigners were chatting.
The content of the chat actually talked about a hot topic recently, that group of foreign mercenaries.
An old white-haired foreign man complained angrily: "I don't know which bastards are causing trouble in this land. I have been looking for them for a long time but can't find them. Now many people think that those people were sent out by me."
A middle-aged man with blue eyes said: "It's not just you, we are also implicated. It is said that the mercenary group is a ragtag army with people from many countries in it, but the leader is called Michael and he is from Magnolia.
So you bear the most infamy."
"Alas! No matter how I explain it, no one believes it. I don't have any hope for coming to the headquarters this time."
The middle-aged man whispered: "I think, why don't we just hire them? Anyway, we can't explain it clearly, so we might as well not explain it. Otherwise, that guy Yong Linling will always be against us, and it won't be good if this continues."
way."
"Yes, I can consider it, but I won't talk about it until I see the Speaker. I don't know when the alliance's admission threshold will be lowered. It requires more than 10,000 survivors and more than 1,000 armed forces with guns. These two are a bit...
It’s too difficult. If we can join the alliance, we can also enjoy the taxation of other bases.”
Tang Zheng paid attention to the chat over there and knew that these were the people from the so-called international base.
Tang Zheng didn't have a good impression of this base, so he didn't want to communicate with them.
But after eating, scientific researchers Guo Yun and Wu Di walked around and got to know a lot of people, and even wrote down some radio frequency bands.
Tang Zheng will still have to rely on these people to sell weapons in the future.
When the meal was almost done, someone came to pick up the leaders.
"Now everyone, follow me. We are going to the speaker's reception room. Because there are too many people, each leader can only bring one entourage."
"Pistols are allowed, but rifles are not allowed. Please confirm your entourage as soon as possible and then leave with me. When meeting the speaker, be polite and don't make any noise."
After speaking concisely and concisely, the man walked out, and the leaders of the other bases followed him one after another.
Tang Zheng looked at it and called out to Guo Yun: "Guo Yun, come with me. Ji Yuntian, you and Wu Di just hang out, don't go far, wait for me to come back."
"Okay General."
Ji Yuntian and Wu Di left, but Tang Zheng knew that they would not go far, just near this building.
Tang Zheng held the walkie-talkie and could contact Wu Di or even Luo Fei outside the base at any time.
Following the crowd, Tang Zheng and the others went up to the fifth floor.
Speaker Xie Jinshan did not move his office to the top floor. Tang Zheng probably did it because there was no electricity and no one was willing to climb the stairs.
Not all base bosses will arrive in this wave, because the distances of each base are different, and some will arrive first and some will arrive later. Today, there are about fifteen or six bosses in this wave.
Each person brought an entourage, approximately thirty people.
At the end of a corridor on the fifth floor, there were guards standing guard.
After checking to make sure that no one was carrying a rifle, they opened the door and let them go.
The door to the reception room opened and I walked in. There was a thick handmade carpet inside.
The large chandelier, desk, huge landscape painting on the background wall, and the surrounding sofas make this a rare and good place in the apocalypse.
There was a man sitting behind the desk, and four guards stood beside him.
Seeing these people, Tang Zheng knew why they were allowed to carry pistols.
Because these guards all carry submachine guns and wear body armor, their armed strength is almost suppressive.
And more importantly, these five people are all mutants.
Especially people sitting behind desks.
That is Alliance Speaker Xie Jinshan.
Xie Jinshan is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old. He looks well-kept and gentle.
But Tang Zheng could feel that there was powerful power in his body.
In fact, there were quite a few mutants among the leaders present, but they didn't look as powerful as Xie Jinshan.
If mutants have levels, Xie Jinshan's level must not be low.
It is estimated that in addition to taking crystals, he must have eaten a lot of mutated animal meat.
After entering the room, Xie Jinshan opened his mouth to talk to everyone.
"Welcome to the base of the University of Agriculture, Forestry and Animal Husbandry. My name is Xie Jinshan. Please take a seat."
Someone led everyone to sit on the sofas in a circle. Tang Zheng sat by the window, and Guo Yun stood behind him.
"Everyone must know that the original intention of our alliance was to allow everyone in this northern region at the junction of four provinces to live and work in peace and contentment, and ultimately return to our previous era."
"During this process, we faced many problems, the first of which was taxation."
"During the process of coming here, everyone must have seen how many people there are in this base now, and how many mouths are waiting for food. These are living people, our compatriots, and they have all lost their loved ones. We cannot let them
The pain continues."
"So, please cooperate with and understand my work. Tax payment is the basis for the existence of the alliance, and no one can shirk it with any excuse."
"Of course, after the alliance collects your taxes, it will provide you with protection. How many people pay taxes will be under our protection."
"Some people may question whether the alliance has the power to protect you? What if after paying taxes, the alliance doesn't keep its word?"
Hearing this, many leaders pricked up their ears.
Indeed, this is what everyone is most worried about.
There are still many dangers out there, the first of which are zombies.
Zombies may follow people or come after smells. Especially when mutated zombies appear, the danger increases exponentially.
In order to deal with mutant zombies, many bases have to adopt some stupid methods, such as trapping them and then finding ways to kill them, which is extremely dangerous.
There are also mutant beasts. Mutated beasts are also very dangerous and very aggressive. At this stage, the number of people dying from the claws of mutant beasts every day is no less than that of zombies.
For example, the appearance of stray dogs and cats in cities can be fatal.
There is also the threat of human beings. It has to be said that the quality of human beings varies greatly, and some bases have done all kinds of bad things, but it is difficult to be punished.
And for those groups of adventurers, it’s normal for them to do bad things.
The emergence of mercenaries is to ensure safety.
But not everyone can hire mercenaries, and some mercenaries even engage in gangsters, so the protection of the alliance is also very important.
Xie Jinshan stood up from behind his desk.
He picked up an iron bucket and said as he walked: "This is also the purpose of calling you here today. I will take you to visit the alliance's military training later so that everyone can have a correct understanding of the power of the alliance."
"Having a look at it will always put you at ease, lest everyone think that I am thanking someone for boasting."
While talking, he walked to a large fish tank.
He took out a piece of fresh beef from the bucket and put it directly into the fish tank.
The fish tank that was calm just now suddenly saw a dark shadow darting out.
The beef was snatched away by a tentacle.
Tang Zheng's pupils dilated almost instantly.
Because he saw that the dark figure in this big fish tank turned out to be an octopus!
An octopus with a body length of more than one meter was not small before the apocalypse, but it is not too big in the apocalypse.
Research soldier Guo Yun stood behind Tang Zheng, looked at it for a while and suddenly spoke.
"General, this octopus is in its juvenile stage."
"Moreover, it has mutated. The water in the fish tank where it is kept is not sea water but fresh water."
"I can feel that it will grow very big in the future. If there is any further catalyst, it may reach an outrageous size. General, we should."
Tang Zheng raised his hand and wiped the wet corners of his mouth.
"Am I the kind of person who is sneaky? Let's study this matter carefully."
