Chapter 32 Hometown

Tang Zheng did not think too deeply about this issue. The most important thing is to solve the current situation first.

Tang Zheng felt that these survival bases were generally good, and no matter what, they saved many people.

As long as they don’t mess with themselves, Tang Zheng will not have conflicts with others for the time being.

The front is Mingshui County. The car did not enter the county town, but surrounded it from the outside.

After getting off the outer ring road, I entered the rural road.

After running along for more than half an hour, Tailai Town finally appeared in front of him.

This is Tang Zheng’s hometown, a town with a population of more than 40,000 people.

There is a street that runs east-west in the town, with a hill to the north and a river to the south.

The mountain is called Mingzhu Mountain, and the small river is called Xiushui River.

Everything here carries Tang Zheng’s memories for more than ten years.

Tang Zheng hasn't come back for more than a year, especially now in the end of the world. Seeing the mountains and rivers of his hometown again made him feel even more excited.

Standing on the side of the woods at the entrance of the town, he did not enter rashly, but called Ji Yuntian over.

"When my parents lost contact, they were in the park in the center of the town, but they could not stay in the park for a long time, so they must have a place to settle down."

"You go to search and collect several places, mainly my home. If there is no one at home, please pay attention to whether there are any corpses? If there are none, then you can search for a few places in the town that can accommodate a large number of people to see if there are survivors gathering. If there are any discoveries, report to me immediately."

Tang Zheng first took out his cell phone, looked at Ji Yuntian's photos of his parents on his cell phone, and then handed him a radio intercom.

Through the walkie-talkie, you can communicate with Tang Zheng’s correspondent at any time, which is very convenient.

After reading it, Ji Yuntian nodded and patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, General, believe in my strength."

After saying that, Ji Yuntian sorted out his equipment and headed straight for the town.

Ji Yuntian's figure just disappeared on this side, and Tang Zheng suddenly received a system prompt.

[General, please note that there is a supply box refresh.]

Tang Zheng hurriedly turned on the system and checked the radar.

However, there are no white light spots representing the supply box on the radar screen.

"I didn't see it?"

[General, the refresh location of the supply box exceeds the radar range. It can only be initially predicted that the refresh location is within 600 meters in diameter. Please upgrade the radar or search by yourself.]

Tang Zheng took a look at the radar field of view inside the system.

[Radar field of view (intermediate): Display all units within a radius of 300 meters in the system, ignoring the blockage of the building. The price is 2,000 gold.]

Tang Zheng smiled bitterly. Now he only has more than 300 gold in his hand, and these two thousand golds are not easy to make up.

There are no zombies outside the town. If you want to collect funds, you can only go deep into the town.

However, the situation in the town is unclear, and Tang Zheng doesn't want to do that.

"It's nothing, it's just within 600 meters, which is a radius of 300 meters. It has not reached the town range. It's in the wild and there are no zombies. I have twenty people here, and it won't take too long to find them."

Tang Zheng issued an order, everyone dispersed and began to look for supply boxes.

Tang Zheng himself started his search journey with Da Cangming and the correspondent.

Only the cook and Xiaopiaoliang stayed there and accompanied Xu Jingqiu.

Neither Xu Jingqiu nor the cooks formally took up the job, mainly because the kitchen utensils could be carried, so they could only eat simple food with everyone. However, Tang Zheng attaches great importance to food and treats Xu Jingqiu very well.

Everyone dispersed and began a carpet-style search for treasure hunts.

To the south of Tailai Town, there is the largest hotel in the town, the Marriott Restaurant.

If someone passes by here, you can almost see at a glance that there are survivors in this place.

Because there are now a circle of sandbags piled up around the big restaurant, which is two meters high.

Only in front of the restaurant, the glass door in the past was replaced and a large iron door was installed, which was very thick and heavy, and was locked at this moment.

The windows of the restaurant were all sealed with quilts, and there was a yard behind it. The walls were also very high, so the situation inside could not be seen.

Only on the roof of the second floor of the restaurant, a man was carrying a local double-barrel hunting rifle and walking back and forth to check.

This is the southern end of Tailai Town. Looking south from the second floor of the restaurant, there is a land full of weeds.

The crop fields were not taken care of for many days and had been flooded by weeds.

A little further south is the mother river and Xiushui of Tailai Town.

People on the roof only need to monitor the north side to basically ensure the safety of the restaurant.

Even if zombies come from the north, the people in the restaurant can calmly retreat south.

On the second floor of the restaurant, there was a clamor of mahjong sound.

The sound of mahjong comes from a single room, and there are five people in the single room at this moment.

Among them, sitting in the main seat near the south window was a thin man.

The man is in his thirties, with a bumpy face and a slightly longer hair, but he is still well maintained, unlike some survivors in the end of the world who are completely ungrateful.

On the table, there are a bunch of casino chips.

Behind the man, there was a beautifully dressed woman sitting there, constantly wiping a police pistol.

There were three men sitting in the other three positions, some were shirtless, some were wearing vests, and they looked full of fierceness.

"Six tubes!"

The thin man played a card and said to the woman behind him: "Wipe carefully. Now this gun is not like before. It has been fine for several months. Since it rained, there must be something wrong with the air. If the gun doesn't wipe it for a day, it will rust the next day and rust it will die in three days."

"I know Brother Zheng, I promise to wipe your gun clean."

A bald man next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Yanhong, which gun do you want to wipe Brother Zheng?"

Several people immediately burst into laughter, and a man in the vest said: "You can take it easy. You can wipe the gun, but if you keep wiping like this, our Brother Zheng's bullets are probably not enough."

"bump!"

The thin man named Brother Zheng touched the card, played another one, and then said, "You are a low-key person, and you look at you, Brother Zheng, with the old eyes before the end of the world? Now Brother Zheng has sufficient bullets, and his firepower is great, right?"

The woman named Yanhong gave him a blank look and said nothing. She was obviously not willing to accept the teasing of these men.

The bald man gave Brother Zheng a thumbs up: "Brother Zheng, if you have the ability, or are you capable? We have been playing since childhood. Why don't we know when you can run so fast? You're so fast? Last time, you saw your running speed, it seemed like you could almost break the world record. If you have this ability, why didn't you go to the World Games before and get a gold medal back?"

Brother Zheng smiled and didn't say anything. He could talk to these brothers, but this thing was not.

Coincidentally, Brother Zheng’s name is Zheng Kejiang, and he is a temporary worker at the Tailai Town Public Security Bureau.

After the outbreak of the end of the world, chaos was everywhere, and in the end, only Zheng Kejiang survived.

He took two guns from the security office and began to survive in the end of the world.

Relying on the gun, he began to snatch supplies. Other survivors dared not provoke him, and he gradually became more courageous.

Once when he was out, he was targeted by a powerful female zombie.

The female zombie ran even faster than him. Even if he held a pistol, he could not hit the zombie's vital points.

Fortunately, he escaped by riding a motorcycle.

Zheng Kejiang was also willing to use his brain. Later, he found a reservoir in the wild, pretended to be a disguise, and led the female zombie inside, which was considered to be the killing of her.

After killing, he found something shiny in his mind.

Zheng Kejiang has always been a brave man. After hesitating for a while, he swallowed the crystals in the female zombie's brain.

He survived.

Afterwards, Zheng Kejiang discovered that he had become much stronger.

The 100-meter race that originally took more than 13 seconds to run, but now he can run in just 8 seconds.

This speed has greatly increased the original world record.

As soon as he jumped, he responded much faster.

With this ability and the gun in his hand, Zheng Kejiang slowly broke through today's situation and became the leader of a small survival base in Qinzhou City.

It is indeed small enough to say that it is a small base. Now his armed personnel are only a dozen, and his weapons are extremely poor. Apart from his two pistols, there are only a few local hunting rifles.

There were more than 100 survivors below at first, but now there are only seventy or eighty.

The rest of the people died on the way to collect supplies.

Every time a material is collected, Zheng Kejiang will bring two survivors. Once they are caught up by zombies, these two people are baits used to hold the zombies.

This practice was very cruel. The survivors under his command were very dissatisfied. They even had two riots, but they were all suppressed by Zheng Kejiang.

Zheng Kejiang also knew that such a life was definitely not a long-term solution. Maybe one day he would be killed by a survivor, so he had long been considering a retreat.

So Zheng Kejiang was very careful in his work. Now that his subordinates are joking here, he was not very proud and asked, "Are the survivors downstairs still at peace?"

"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, they are all ordinary people. Even if they are dissatisfied, they can't cause any trouble. Biaozi is taking people downstairs to watch."

Zheng Kejiang nodded and said, "Please keep the radio on and pay attention to the situation on the prison base. Whenever there is news from Boss Han Yuhu, he will notify me immediately, especially during this period, to see if anyone has come to pick up the meeting gift I have given to Boss Han."

A man went to call the radio and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, don't worry, Da Qiangzi is watching the roof, and someone said it, but we are really curious. What kind of meeting gift did you prepare for Boss Han? We didn't even tell us, is there any more expensive gifts than food, guns, women, etc. at this time?"

Zheng Kejiang did not answer this, but just sneered disdainfully.

What do these idiots know?

That is a treasure that can make people stronger. In this end of the world, there are almost no better gifts.

But he can't take out this gift yet because it's still in the zombie's mind.
