Doomsday Commander.

Chapter 187 Sudden Explosion
On the TV, Jinghe TV Station is broadcasting the news.

"This station broadcasts the latest news. At three o'clock this afternoon, a defection occurred in the Independent First Division of the Fifth Army of the Empire in Qinzhou. The division's law enforcement team was ordered to pursue."

"The law enforcement team worked tirelessly and chased for thousands of kilometers, killing many rebels along the way. Only Bai Ling and Xie Lanlan fled all the way to the southern checkpoint of the Light Chasing Army."

"The personnel at the checkpoint of the Light Chasing Army ignored my status as a royal army of the Independent First Division, insisted on saving Bai and Xie, and sent them to the City of Chasing Light."

"After the law enforcement team asked for instructions, Master Liao Yucheng personally called Tang Zheng, the leader of the Chasing Light Army, and asked the other party to send the treason fugitive to the law enforcement team, but Tang Zheng unreasonably refused."

"And during the confrontation at the checkpoint, our law enforcement team members were driven away by the Light Chaser Army. In order to maintain the dignity of the Royal Army, conflicts broke out between the two sides."

"During the conflict, the Light Chasing Army took advantage of their fortifications to kill and injure more than a dozen of our law enforcement officers. Their attitude and arrogance were unprecedented."

"Here, Duke Liu Yibang, the commander of the Fifth Army, authorized Liao Yucheng, the commander of the Independent First Division, to deal with emergencies according to the actual situation, and hereby warned Tang Zheng that he must immediately explain this situation, apologize, and respond within 48 hours. Unconditionally return the two traitor fugitives, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation against the Fifth Army, and the two sides will enter a state of war."

"All the consequences and losses caused by the war will be borne by the Light Chasing Army."

"Please read the next news item."

"Duke Liu Yibang responded to Princess Li Wuyou's call and was determined to take down Hezhou City as a gift for the upcoming Spring Festival. At present, the first and third field divisions of the Fifth Army are currently cleaning up Hezhou City with the cooperation of the artillery unit. Corpse group, after a whole day of hard work yesterday, more than [-] zombies have been eliminated in total, please see the report from the front line below."

In the picture, the 10,000+ people of the Fifth Army are setting up positions in Hezhou City to deal with zombies.

Tang Zheng glanced twice, then turned off the TV casually.

Liu Yibang gave himself an ultimatum, demanding that he explain this matter within 48 hours, otherwise it would be regarded as the beginning of war.

Tang Zheng didn't care about this kind of ultimatum, a ultimatum that had no actual binding force was not painful or itchy at all, so it wasn't worth mentioning.

But Tang Zheng didn't want them to succeed, so Zhuguang TV station immediately counterattacked.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuguang TV made a news column program.

The program is a report on the chaos in Qinzhou City.

In the program, Liao Yucheng was completely imaged as a demon, and the video images Xie Lanlan filmed became the direct evidence of Liao Yucheng's crime.

In addition, Xie Lanlan, as the photographer, also accepted an interview with Xiao Dili on the TV station, and personally narrated the nightmarish experience in Qinzhou.

The images on TV of mutilating women, monopolizing resources, and feeding disobedient people to zombies caused an uproar in the entire Northern Territory.

Originally, after the TV program on the Jing River was broadcast yesterday, people in the Northern Territory consciously kept their distance from Zhuguang City, because Tang Zheng was already so bold as to fight against the empire, and they didn't dare to participate in this matter at all.

But he didn't expect Tang Zheng to give such a sharp counterattack today.

Liao Yucheng's crimes in Qinzhou are simply too numerous to write down, full of crimes.

There are many villains in the last days, and the evil of human nature is fully magnified in this world, but the amount of evil a villain can do is directly equated with his status.

An ordinary villain can only harm a few or a dozen people, and might be wiped out at any time.

But for a villain in a high position, that is simply a nightmare.

Liao Yucheng was a division commander, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and no one could do anything to him. If such a person did evil, too many people would suffer.

How could such a person take up the position of teacher, what did Liu Yibang think?

Could it be that Liu Yibang is also such a person?
This kind of discussion has a great market in Zhuguang City.

But the people in the other survival bases didn't dare to speak up at the moment.

As soon as Tang Zheng's news came out, it was the most direct response to the Fifth Army, almost like declaring war.

It is true that the Light Chasing Army is dominant in the Northern Territory, but no one is optimistic that the Light Chasing Army can take advantage of the Empire.

If one fails, it may not necessarily become history.

People were in a panic and waited for Liao Yucheng's response.

This time, it was Liao Yucheng who personally accepted the interview. On the TV, he directly denounced Tang Zheng for deceitful and synthetic videos. The contents of the videos were all untrue.

In view of Tang Zheng's stubborn attitude, from now on, the Light Chasing Army and the Fifth Army will enter a state of war.

In the news, he warned the people of Zhuguang City not to be in the same rank as Tang Zheng. If you are capable, please leave Zhuguang City as soon as possible to avoid being affected by the flames of war.

He asked the soldiers of the Chasing Light Army not to be fooled by Tang Zheng, put down their weapons as soon as possible, and turn to the empire.

He asked the survival bases around Zhuguang City not to continue to conduct trade and business activities with Zhuguang City, otherwise they would be regarded as Tang Zheng's accomplices.

He even directly issued a warrant for Tang Zheng's arrest, counting Tang Zheng's many crimes.

The crimes that Xie Jinshan listed for Tang Zheng at the beginning are now copied by Liao Yucheng, such as bullying the surrounding area, suppressing the alliance, issuing currency without authorization, indiscriminately killing innocent people at the Qinzhou Trading Conference, and massacring imperial nobles in Sanjiang, etc. , and put them on again for Tang Zheng.

Following Liao Yucheng's statement, the two sides have officially entered a state of war.

This news also brought a lot of pressure to people inside and outside Zhuguang City.

Many of the surrounding survival bases have indeed stopped trading with the City of Chasing Light.

As for the survivors in the city, there was indeed a considerable loss.

The empire's rule for hundreds of years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now that Tang Zheng is listed as a wanted criminal by the empire, they dare not stay in Chasing Light City any longer.

Zhuguang City now has a permanent population of 40, and a daily floating population of about 20. After this incident, there has been a certain decline.

About [-] permanent residents chose to leave, and the floating population dropped to tens of thousands per day.

Zhuguang City, which used to have a population of about 60, has now dropped to about 40, about one-third less.

Although 40 people are still a lot, compared with the crowds of people in the past, it is already a lot worse.

A large number of people who left chose to sell Guangyuan and buy supplies, which caused a certain depreciation of Guangyuan for a while.

Faced with this situation, Tang Zheng directly ordered to release the materials stored in the City of Chasing Light, and let anyone who wants to buy them buy it. The Light Chasing Army has been established for such a long time, and Tang Zheng has already accumulated an astronomical amount of common materials.

Especially when Qingquan County is captured, the city with a population of several million is a treasure house, and the current supplies are useless.

Moreover, all the materials can be converted into a number in Tang Zheng's system after being converted by the material recycling station, and they can be exchanged when they want to use them, and they are not afraid of how much they have.

With Tang Zheng's support, Guangyuan's purchasing power quickly recovered, and it still maintained its original appearance.

As for the departure of tens of thousands of permanent population and the departure of those floating population, Tang Zheng didn't care, and was even very happy.

He always felt that Zhuguang City was too crowded, almost to the point where he couldn't get out, and he couldn't drive people away for a while.

This time the empire did him a favor indirectly, and it really lightened the burden on the City of Chasing Light.

Tang Zheng ordered that all permanent residents who left should cancel their household registration and confiscate their properties.

And these people are not allowed to go to the twelve survival bases controlled by Tang Zheng, and they are not allowed to stay within the sphere of influence of Zhuguang City.

Everyone, you must pass through the checkpoints before you can leave here.

It is easy to leave, but it will not be so easy to apply for the household registration of Zhuguang City in the future.

The flow of people left lasted for about three days, and finally gradually stabilized, and the urban population stabilized at around 40.

Most of the people who stayed behind were those who had feelings for Zhuguang City and didn't want to leave.

The city of 40 people is still busy and lively, and people have also discovered that life has returned to normal now, and the previously crowded Zhuguang City is already somewhat deformed.

The city stabilized, Tang Zheng started his arrangement.

He has not been idle for the past few days, he has been studying Liao Yucheng's situation.

A large number of war eagles were sent out by him to soar over the land of Fengcheng in Qinzhou, and transmitted many captured images back to the combat command center.

And many of the valuable pictures were sorted out by the combat command center and handed over to Tang Zheng for review.

There are several scenes in it, all of which were taken in Liao Yucheng's barracks.

Liao Yucheng's military camp is located in the north of Qinzhou City, about [-] kilometers away from the city.

This barracks is actually his lair, and there are not only tens of thousands of his garrisons, but also hundreds of thousands of survivors, and the scale looks even larger than that of Chasing Light City.

One side is against the mountain, one side is against the river, and the city walls are built on both sides.

The city wall is about seven or eight meters high and looks a little thin.

In the center is a concentration camp built by Liao Yucheng.

This concentration camp is a highly polarized area. Many powerful people also live in the concentration camp. It is a wealthy area.

The other half was the concentration camp created by Liao Yucheng, which had a place for raising zombies and an arena.

He let those he considered guilty to duel in the arena, killing the opponents would be able to eat and survive temporarily.

He sells tickets in this way to attract people from rich areas to watch, which is also a way of making money.

And Liao Yucheng himself lived in the very center of the city, in a heavily guarded and fortified courtyard.

He has done many bad things, and he is also very afraid of death.

Moreover, Liao Yucheng also knew that Tang Zheng was not easy to provoke, and now that he had torn face with the Chasing Light Army, he was also worried about being assassinated by Tang Zheng.

So in the past few days, he has hardly left his yard, giving orders and actively preparing for battle.

Tang Zheng knew that the place where the war broke out must be in Fengcheng.

The distance from Fengcheng to Zhuguang City and Qinzhou is almost the same, both are [-] kilometers.

No one wants the flames of war to hit their doorstep, so it is inevitable to open up a third-party battlefield.

So he monitored the situation in Qinzhou and could respond in time.

But in the early morning of this day, before Qinzhou sent troops, the battle in Fengcheng suddenly broke out!
