Chapter 225 Take the compatriots home (three shifts, plus 300 monthly tickets)

   The rat wave on the ground was raging. 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 the rat.

  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 and ate up all the zombies.

   Not only this sewer is erupting rats, but a large number of rats are also gushing 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 was not until after reading that Tang Zheng asked the people around him with a heavy heart.

   "Why? Why are there so many creepy rats here that I didn't see before?"

  Only Guo Yun can give some answers to this question.

  Guo Yun thought about it, and then said 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 zombies and people, 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 people in this world. If this continues, how long are we going to fight?"

   "Some people still don't realize this. They think that zombies and mutated beasts are not scary. They want to fight for power and profit, become warlords and even take over the empire. I think they will suffer the consequences sooner or later."

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

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

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

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

  Although he has gone back now, Tang Zheng has not given up the idea of ​​seizing the bank vault in his heart. As long as he finds a way to deal with the rat tide, he will 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.

  The rat swarm doesn’t seem to be able to travel long distances. It’s absolutely safe here in Chasing Light City. It’s only 20 days away from 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.

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

  Hearing this question, Tang Zheng laughed.

   He had been holding captives for more than ten days, and Ferdinand finally couldn't hold on, this was already in his expectation.

  Daliao has a vast land and few people, 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 now does not exceed 400,000, which is not as many as that in Chasing Light City.

  Including 50,000 Hanyue people, and many people from other places in Daliao came to Volcano City.

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

   These 25,000 Daliao soldiers are Ferdinand's elite troops, and he cannot 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.

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

  The strength of Zhuguang Prison and the foolproof geographical conditions made them completely dismiss this idea.

  If the only way to leave Chasing Light Prison is to leave by air.

  However, there are two conditions to 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 meet any 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.

   The first point is that the fifty thousand Hanyue people imprisoned in Huoshan City must be released immediately.

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

  The third point, Huoshan City must pay Tang Zheng ten tons of gold.

  If you can’t meet these three conditions, then don’t talk about it.

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

Don't look at 50,000 people for 25,000 people. Daliao seems to be losing money, but these 25,000 people are well-trained elite soldiers. If they are exchanged for 50,000 people, Ferdinand is not losing money at all. .

   There are not many remnants of the alliance left in Daliao, and all those councilors are dead. Ferdinand has 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 others, 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 defeated side?

  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.

   Being able to bring 50,000 compatriots home for the New Year, what Tang Zheng did was very beautiful.

   And you can make a fortune easily. Ten tons of gold is 10 million yuan in funds. You can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it.

   As for sending back more than 20,000 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.

  The two parties agree to the transaction, and the transaction is immediately confirmed.

  The place of the transaction was in the wilderness 200 kilometers south of Beifengdu.

  The two sides each sent **** 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.

  At Daliao, Qin Xiaolou and others were escorted to 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 survivors of the 50,000 Han months returned to their homeland, all of them burst into tears.

   These few months in a foreign country were a nightmare they would never forget.

  The alliance 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 young people, and they will be 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 breaks with Tang Zheng, they will 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.

   Wait until the city changes, expands or something, and then arranges 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.

  For this kind of people, Tang Zheng didn't have anything to say nonsense, 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.

  The man behind Luo Qiuwan, besides Ferdinand, is Qin Xiaolou. He planned and personally executed the assassination, and presided over the assassination.

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

   Tang Zheng heard that Qin Xiaolou had given 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.

  In 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 50,000 compatriots home for the New Year.

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

  Tang Zheng believes that such news will definitely make everyone happy and have a good year.

  That night, Tang Zheng was in front of the TV, preparing 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 did not fight for this time.

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

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

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