The car trudged for more than three hours in the rain and returned to Chasing Light City.
We left the road and walked in the muddy fields for a while, arriving outside the south gate.
There were already soldiers on guard in the sentry tower. When they saw Tang Zheng coming back, the soldiers above immediately turned the windlass and raised the city gate.
Entering the city, there are still some differences from the outside.
Most of the weeds on the ground have been removed, and some potholes have been leveled and filled.
In some places, trenches were dug in preparation for laying optical cables.
The road has also been simply leveled and will need to be rebuilt later.
Tang Zheng did not walk along the road, but drove all the way to the Fengming River.
The truck followed us, and when we reached the river, the big octopus jumped down before the truck even stopped.
After staying in the fish tank for a long time, I entered the river for the first time, and the octopus flopped around in it like a joyful child.
Several long tentacles were flying on the water surface, the churned river water was turbid, and the surrounding fish were running for their lives in a hurry, as if a giant monster from the deep sea was born.
"This is a happy little guy."
Tang Zheng stood on the shore in the rain, not wanting to leave.
The octopus is never idle for a moment, running upstream for a while and swimming downstream for a while.
Sometimes it will chase schools of fish and eat a lot in one big gulp.
"Stop, stop, stop, this river is just a small river. It can't withstand your torture. You'd better not eat the fish in this river."
Tang Zheng hurriedly stopped it. This octopus was too big, and according to Guo Yun, it was still a toddler. The ecological environment of this river could never withstand its torment.
After hearing that Tang Zheng refused to let him eat fish, the octopus showed its head from the water.
After a while, Tang Zheng felt that its head was a little bigger, and it looked like a small island emerging from the water.
"This thing won't grow into a real sea monster in the future, right?"
Tang Zheng thought for a moment and walked up the river.
After taking the genetic potion, the octopus regarded Tang Zheng as its master, and it would follow Tang Zheng when he left.
Tang Zheng did not turn around and walked near the inner city. The soldiers opened the water gate and he passed by the river.
Continuing forward, after walking for about a kilometer, we arrived at the location of our reserved residence.
The octopus came to the pool and spit out a string of bubbles in the water with excitement.
After all, this pool is bigger, with a diameter of more than a hundred meters, and his huge body can flutter around in it.
After flopping around for a while, the octopus came to the shore, exposed its head and dark eyes, and looked at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng couldn't help but touch its head, and it nuzzled Tang Zheng affectionately.
The dignified general was knocked to the ground by his head.
"This guy..."
Tang Zheng stood up and decided to give the octopus a name.
Before choosing a name, he first asked Mengmeng.
"Mengmeng, can Octopus be included in the purchase sequence?"
"General, the octopus is obtained from the genetic fluid of aquatic animals and cannot be included in the purchase sequence."
"So, until I get another genetic fluid and meet another octopus, this is the only one."
"Yes General."
Tang Zheng nodded, facing this only octopus for the time being, Tang Zheng really loved it.
So he wanted to give the octopus a special name.
"Are you a male or a female?"
The octopus didn't answer, but Tang Zheng felt that this octopus was very beautiful and should be a female.
Of course, this feeling is groundless, and it is difficult to determine whether the octopus is beautiful or not. It is just Tang Zheng's imagination.
"My surname is Tang, and I think your surname should also be Tang, but it's not good to just be the same as me, so I'll change it a little for you. From now on, you can call me Tangtang."
Hearing the name, the octopus stretched out its two tentacles and covered its eyes.
Tang Zheng's eyes widened: "Are you a little shy?"
"Did I really guess that this is a female octopus?"
Tang Zheng knew that octopuses eat meat, and this one was no exception. However, it was so big now that ordinary meat was not enough for it to swallow in a few mouthfuls.
"I don't know if you eat zombies. If you do, there are a lot of them."
"From now on, you will live in this pool. You can go out to play when there are no outsiders. Try not to go out of the city. If you want to go out of the city, choose to go out at night. Don't leave too far from the river. Don't defecate in the pool. Do you understand?"
Tangtang's big head nodded, as if she could really understand what Tang Zheng said.
So far, Tangtang, the big octopus from the deep sea, has settled here.
Tang Zheng thought that the Alliance might not give up on this matter and might pursue the matter further.
But Tang Zheng also believed that the trace on his head would not be found for a while, and even if one day it was found on his head, Tang Zheng would no longer care.
The system first provided a supply box and obtained aquatic animal genetic fluid. Tang Zheng then went to great lengths to get the octopus back. I believe this big guy will not let him down.
After settling the octopus back, Tang Zheng himself would have nothing to do.
Although the construction of Chasing Light City was still going on intensively, it did not require him to do it himself.
He stayed patiently in the base every day and teased Tangtang when he had nothing to do. Tang Zheng would also bring the military dog over to play with Tangtang.
Smart, pretty, and Bailian quickly became Tangtang’s playmates.
Tangtang’s favorite game is to throw the ball.
It can throw it and catch it. Several military dogs go into battle together, but none of them can defeat it.
Every time I got excited about playing, I either blew bubbles at Tang Zheng or made a splash in the water.
The cooking team got some steamed buns to feed it, but no matter how much it was fed, it felt like it was never enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
The characteristic that all units of the Light Chasing Army can eat has been sublimated here.
As they played, Tang Zheng watched and waited.
One is waiting for the completion of the last map drawing by Guo Yun, and the other is waiting for the people from Tailai Town to come back.
Speaking of which, it has been three days since Yang Mu and the second platoon left the base, and they have almost reached Tailai Town by now.
Qinzhou urban area.
Two months of neglect and acid rain corrosion have left this place in dilapidated condition.
The streets are filled with zombies and there is not a single living person.
As night falls, bursts of roars echo across the city, like hell.
In a five-star hotel.
The dark environment is not suitable for human survival at all, but there is a group of active people here.
It shouldn't be called human anymore, but it still has the appearance of a human being.
In the hotel lobby, Chen Feilong was sitting on the sofa.
In front of him, there was red wine taken from the wine library, and in front of him was a crystal glass filled with wine.
He picked up the glass and drank a glass of red wine in one gulp.
He could vaguely feel that liquid entered his stomach, but he couldn't feel it at all whether it was cold or hot, bitter or sweet.
There were some vacuum-packaged foods piled on the coffee table in front of him. He picked up a plastic-wrapped chicken foot, tore it open, and then stuffed the chicken foot into his mouth.
He chewed it several times and swallowed the bones together.
"Bah! It doesn't taste like anything!"
"I can no longer feel it. My sense of taste has been lost. Except for fresh flesh and blood, which can arouse my desire to eat, I can't feel anything else!"
"The culprit of all this is that boy from Tailai Town, Tang Zheng!"
Chen Feilong was very irritable at the moment, and there were a lot of losses around him.
There are several female zombies among them, and they are all well taken care of at the moment.
Wearing a beautiful dress, she even had makeup on her face, but the makeup was a little smudged, and the lipstick was painted to the corners of her mouth, which made people sick just looking at it.
These female zombies are agile zombies with slender and well-proportioned bodies. If they didn't know how to put on makeup, they could still be considered beauties before.
Moreover, these zombies will absolutely obey Chen Feilong's orders and do whatever they are told.
Unfortunately, Chen Feilong discovered that he had even lost his desire as a man and his function as a man.
All this made him unable to bear it anymore.
"No wait, my current strength is almost enough to wipe out that town. It's time for me to find that boy named Tang Zheng."
Chen Feilong stood up, and behind him, a group of zombies followed.
In the lobby of this hotel, there are quite a few zombies, all of which are mutated zombies.
In addition to those agile zombies, there are also hundreds of tall armored zombies.
Among them is an armored man whose height exceeds two and a half meters.
That is the armored zombie that Chen Feilong focuses on feeding, Han Yuhu.
It's just that Han Yuhu, like other zombies, stood beside Chen Feilong in a daze, without communication or knowing how to communicate.
Chen Feilong stood up, called the two armored men over, and lifted up a chair that looked like a sedan.
"Let's go to Tailai Town!"
Two armored men mechanically lifted the chair and carried Chen Feilong out of the hotel lobby.
After walking out of the hall, Chen Feilong looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.
"Ho~~~!"
Following Chen Feilong's roar, the surrounding streets immediately became agitated.
Behind him, hundreds of armored zombies, hundreds of agile zombies, and some zombies approaching the level of mutation, all roared.
And then, an even louder roar began to echo.
One head and ten heads!
One hundred heads and one thousand heads!
Even tens of thousands of zombies roared at this moment.
A huge roar echoed in the night sky of the city, and a group of startled mutant birds took off and fled.
Chen Feilong led his mutant zombie army and left the city step by step, heading towards Mingshui.
Behind him, there were at least seven or eight thousand zombies, and they began to follow him stumblingly.
These are zombies controlled by Chen Feilong.
In more than a month, his ability has been greatly strengthened, and now his upper limit of control has reached 10,000.
He believes that this number will continue to increase.
It's just that this group of zombies moves relatively slowly. It takes them almost ten days to reach the section from Qinzhou City to Tailai Town.
