Doomsday Commander.

Chapter 225 Picking up my compatriots home (three shifts, plus three hundred monthly tickets)

Rat swarms were raging on the ground, and after the soldiers were pulled up, they lost their target.

But instead of this goal, there are other goals.

The surrounding zombies became the target of rats.

They surged up overwhelmingly, like a moving black carpet, and quickly swallowed up the surrounding zombies.

In just ten minutes, the rats spread across the surrounding blocks, eating up all the zombies.

Not only this sewer is erupting rats, but a large number of rats are also pouring out from other manhole covers.

After eating up the surrounding zombies, the mice did not stay in the ice and snow, but quickly returned to the sewer, and the ground returned to calm after a while.

Tang Zheng was on the tall building, watching this scene all the time.

If it weren't for the skeletons of zombies on the ground, he almost thought that the rat wave hadn't even appeared.

It wasn't until after reading it that Tang Zheng asked the people around him with a heavy heart.

"Why? Why are there so many scary rats here, and I didn't notice them before?"

Only Guo Yun can give some answers to this question.

Guo Yun thought for a while before saying in a deep voice: "General, first of all, rats have always lived underground. Even if they mutate after the end of the world, they still maintain their previous living habits."

"A small number of mice are timid and rarely appear in front of humans or other mutant animals."

"However, the situation here in Lumba City is different. Lumba City is located in the Grassland Province. There are already many rats on the grasslands, and they are also big. Many of these gregarious creatures live in the sewers, and they gather more and more. That’s what made it happen today.”

Tang Zheng also nodded when he heard Guo Yun's explanation, expressing his agreement.

But he still let out a long breath: "We fight with zombies and humans, but there are not only zombies and survivors in this world, but also a large number of mutant beasts."

"Mutated birds are a problem, and now there are mutated mice. You know, there are more mice than humans in this world. If this continues, how long will we fight?"

"But some people still don't realize this. They think that zombies and mutated beasts are not scary. They just want to fight for power, become a warlord or even take over the empire. Such people, I think, will suffer the consequences sooner or later."

The people around were silent and didn't know how to speak.

If the words hadn't come from the general, they had always thought that the general was such a person.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng just sighed, now that there is this rat swarm, this bank is impossible to enter.

Tang Zheng felt quite regretful, and waited for the injured soldiers over there to receive treatment before taking a helicopter back to Chasing Light City.

Although he went back now, Tang Zheng did not give up the idea of ​​seizing the bank vault in his heart. As long as he found a way to deal with the rat tide, he would come back.

A failed trip to Lunba City also made Tang Zheng a little tired. After returning to Chasing Light City, he chose to rest.

It seems that the rat wave will not travel long distances, Zhuguang City is absolutely safe here, and now there are only [-] days before the New Year, so he decided to wait until after the New Year.

But within two days after returning, Tang Zheng received a message.

A message from Daliao.

Ferdinand, the leader of Daliao Volcanic City, wanted to talk to Tang Zheng about the issue of redeeming their captives.

Hearing this question, Tang Zheng smiled.

He had held the captives for more than ten days, and Ferdinand finally couldn't hold on, which was already in his expectation.

Daliao is sparsely populated, unlike Hanyue, which has a large population. Even after the apocalypse, there are still many survivors.

Volcano City is considered to be a relatively prosperous city in Daliao, and the total number of survivors does not exceed 40, which is not as many as that in Chasing Light City.

Among them, there are also [-] Hanyue people, and many people from other places in Daliao came to Volcano City.

Therefore, the population problem has always been the fundamental problem plaguing Daliao, and it has not been resolved for a long time.

The [-] Daliao soldiers were all Ferdinand's elite troops, and it was impossible for him to give up easily.

In the past few days, Tang Zheng even received some tips that people from Daliao wanted to rob the prison.

Because they saw on the news that the soldiers of Daliao were imprisoned, they always wanted to move this idea.

But after many days, they finally found the place where the Daliao soldiers were detained, and the idea of ​​robbing the prison could no longer be raised.

The solidity of the Zhuguang Prison and the infallible geographical conditions made them completely dismiss this idea.

If there is only one way to leave Chasing Light Prison, it is by air.

However, there are two conditions that must be met for leaving in the air. The first is that there are planes, and there are a large number of planes.

The second is that someone inside the prison must provide convenience, otherwise this cannot be done at all.

Daliao couldn't fulfill either of these two conditions, so he could only negotiate with Tang Zheng.

After hearing the news, Tang Zheng didn't talk to Ferdinand at all, but sent someone to pass a word to him.

That is, if you want to redeem the captives, you must do three things.

First, the [-] Hanyue people imprisoned in Volcano City must be released immediately.

The second point is to send the remnants of the Alliance back to Chasing Light City for trial.

The third point is that Volcano City must pay Tang Zheng ten tons of gold.

If these three conditions cannot be met, then there is no need to talk about it.

Tang Zheng raised these three conditions with a certain degree of confidence.

Regardless of the exchange of 5 people for 5000 people, Daliao seems to be losing money, but the 5000 people are well-trained elite soldiers, and Ferdinand is not losing money at all if they are exchanged for [-] civilians.

Not many leftovers from the alliance remained in Daliao, and all the congressmen were dead. Ferdinand had no reason not to agree to this condition.

As for ten tons of gold, it sounds like a lot, but after all, Daliao is also a big country with a population of more than one billion, and Volcano City is also an important city, and there are bank vaults there, and Ferdinand must have gold in his hands. There are indeed a lot of tons, but it should be possible to get them together.

And gold is very important to Tang Zheng, but to other people, it is not so important.

Tang Zheng believed that since Ferdinand proposed to redeem the captives, he was ready to be blackmailed. Without this awareness, would he still be the loser?

Three days after the request was made, Tang Zheng finally waited for Ferdinand's reply.

The requirements are all agreed, and they can trade.

Hearing that Ferdinand agreed, Tang Zheng was also overjoyed.

Fifty thousand Hanyue people has always been a heart problem for Tang Zheng, and now it is finally resolved.

To be able to bring [-] compatriots home for the New Year, Tang Zheng did a very beautiful job.

And you can make a fortune easily, ten tons of gold can be 1000 million funds, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it.

As for sending back more than 2 captives, Tang Zheng wasn't worried at all.

If he can annihilate them once, he will be able to annihilate them a second time. With more and more money in Tang Zheng's hand, his strength will only become stronger and stronger.

Once the two parties agree to the transaction, the transaction is immediately confirmed.

The place of the transaction was in the wilderness [-] kilometers south of Beifengdu.

The two sides sent escort troops to exchange prisoners there.

During the exchange, the people on Ferdinand's side brought the gold and the remnants of the alliance left in the volcano city.

This time both parties were more sincere. Although Tang Zheng was not present during the transaction, the transaction was still very smooth.

The entire transaction process lasted about five hours, and the two parties completed the captive exchange.

On the other side of Daliao, Qin Xiaolou and other people were also escorted to the front of the light-chasing army.

Qin Xiaolou's whole face was ashamed. All members of the Council of the Survivors Alliance in the Northern Territory were dead. Now he has become the agent of the alliance, helping Ferdinand to make plans and do a lot of bad things, but he was abandoned after all. up.

At the same time, Ferdinand also asked someone to bring over ten tons of gold, most of which were gold bars and bricks, but there were also a lot of gold jewelry. It seems that his gold stock was basically drained.

The [-] Hanyue survivors returned to their homeland with tears streaming down their faces.

These few months in a foreign country have been a nightmare they will never forget.

The League sent them away, and everyone was tortured inhumanly.

Fortunately, now that the Zhuguang Army is in charge, the leader Tang Zheng redeemed them, which made each of them feel infinitely grateful to Tang Zheng.

These people are all young people, and they are also the future of the city. It is conceivable that they will be Tang Zheng's most staunch supporters in the future.

Even if the empire broke with Tang Zheng, they would firmly choose to stand by Tang Zheng's side.

In order to heal the physical and mental wounds of these people, Tang Zheng decided to bring them back to the City of Chasing Light.

Although Zhuguang City was overcrowded, Tang Zheng still did this, and Tang Zheng also opened the buffer zone between the inner and outer cities as a temporary residence for these people.

When the city changes or expands in the future, we will arrange new residences for them. Currently, these people live in the buffer zone.

As for Qin Xiaolou and others, they were also escorted back to Zhuguang City.

Regarding this kind of people, Tang Zheng didn't have anything to talk nonsense about, so he decided to give them a happy ending and announce their death on TV.

But before doing anything to Qin Xiaolou, Tang Zheng asked him a question.

That's about Luo Qiuwan.

Luo Qiuwan's mastermind behind the scenes, besides Ferdinand, was Qin Xiaolou. He was the one who planned and personally executed the assassination.

Perhaps Qin Xiaolou also knew that he was going to die, and wanted to have a good time, so he simply explained about Luo Qiuwan.

When Tang Zheng heard that Qin Xiaolou gave Luo Qiuwan the zombie virus as an antidote, and after Luo Qiuwan left, his heart was also very heavy.

I just had a little feeling for a woman, is this woman going to become a zombie?
But Tang Zheng didn't show this heaviness, and ordered Qin Xiaolou and others to go on the road.

On the news that night, Tang Zheng asked the TV station to broadcast these two great events.

Completely wipe out the remnants of the alliance, and bring [-] compatriots home for the New Year.

At this time, the Lunar New Year is only half a month away.

Tang Zheng believed that this kind of news would definitely make everyone have a happy new year.

That night, Tang Zheng was in front of the TV, ready to watch the news program of the TV station.

But the news of Jinghe TV station, since Zhuguangcheng stole the limelight last time, the current broadcast time is half an hour earlier than the news of Zhuguangcheng, and Tang Zheng didn't fight for this time.

So today when he turned on the TV, before seeing his own program, Tang Zheng saw Jinghe's program first.

For Jinghe to regain Hezhou at any time, Tang Zheng had long been mentally prepared.

But today's program made Tang Zheng stand up from the sofa in no time!
