Tang Zheng and the others continued to move forward and walked across a bridge.

There is also an inscription on the bridge, Lover's Bridge.

It seems that this is a place where couples used to come to the university often.

After crossing the bridge, the headquarters building is located.

There is an elevator here, but it is out of service now.

It's been almost two months since the end of the world, and there has been a power outage in all places, and where there is still electricity, it is basically driven by generators.

And the general generator is a little powerless to bear the elevator and this kind of thing.

Therefore, this kind of large-scale power equipment is basically furnished.

Fortunately, the stairs were cleaned very cleanly, and Tang Zheng and a few people went up to the third floor.

Entering the cafeteria hall, there are quite a few people here, but it is not so noisy.

Those who can be the leader of the base have come to the alliance headquarters again, and they still pay relatively attention to their identity and will not make loud noises.

Tang Zheng even saw Yonglin Ling with a few people sitting at a table in the distance eating.

Looking left and right, there is not a lot of food here.

After the end of the world, what is most lacking now is greens.

In the general vegetable field, the greens are buried by the wild grass, deprived of nutrients and water, and have withered.

And the greens in those supermarkets have long been rotten into mud.

But here, you can still see some greens, but not much.

Most of the dishes here are soy products, bacon, river fish and other things.

"No mutant beast meat? It seems that the alliance is not very generous. ”

Mutant beast meat is rare for ordinary people, but for a force of hundreds of thousands of people like the Alliance, it shouldn't be such a rare thing.

Usually don't give it, forget it, but the leaders of the various bases who entertained each base today were unwilling to give out this little blood.

Tang Zheng found an empty seat and sat down, and Ji Yuntian went to eat.

Came back after a while and brought four boxed lunches.

The rice is brown rice, and the dishes are so-so styles.

"General, there is still a gap between this and the food in our cooking class."

"Forget it, don't worry about this, our situation is not universal, at least for the survivors outside, the food here is already a dream food."

Tang Zheng ate a box lunch, he didn't want to eat it very much, and his usual good appetite was now gone.

At a table next to him, there were several foreigners chatting.

The content of the chat actually talked about the hot topic recently, the group of foreign mercenaries.

A white-haired foreign old man complained indignantly: "I don't know which rabbit cubs are making trouble in this land, I have been looking for them for a long time but have not found them, and now many people think that those people were sent by me." ”

A blue-eyed middle-aged man said: "It's not just you, we are also implicated, it is said that the mercenary group is a ragtag army, and there are people from many countries, but the leader is called Michael, and he is from Magnolia, so you bear the most infamy." ”

"Alas! No matter how I explain it, no one believes in it, and I don't have much hope for coming to the headquarters this time. ”

The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "I think, or we just hire them too, anyway, it can't be explained clearly, so we just don't explain, otherwise that guy Yonglin Ling will always go against us, and it is not a way to go on like this." ”

"Well, you can think about it, but when I see the speaker and talk about it, I don't know when the threshold for joining the alliance will be lowered, requiring more than 10,000 survivors and more than 1,000 armed forces with guns, these two are a bit too difficult, if we can join the alliance, we can also enjoy the taxation of other bases.。

Tang Zheng paid attention to the chat over there and knew that this was the so-called person from the international base.

Tang Zheng didn't have a good impression of this base, so he didn't want to communicate with them.

But after eating, the scientific research soldiers Guo Yun and Wu Di walked around, but they got to know a lot of people, and even wrote down some radio frequency bands.

Tang Zheng will still rely on these people to sell weapons in the future.

When the meal was almost finished, someone came to fetch the chiefs.

"Now everyone come with me, let's go to the speaker's reception room, because there are so many people, each leader can only bring one entourage."

"Pistols are allowed, but rifles are forbidden, please confirm the entourage as soon as possible and leave with me, and when you meet the speaker, pay attention to politeness and do not make loud noises."

After saying it succinctly, the man walked out, and the leaders of the rest of the base followed one after another.

Tang Zheng looked at it and greeted Guo Yun: "Guo Yun, you come with me, Ji Yuntian, you and Wu Di casually stroll, don't go far, wait for me to come back." ”

"Okay general."

Ji Yuntian and Wu Di left, but Tang Zheng knew that they would not go far, just near the building.

Tang Zheng held the walkie-talkie, and he could contact Wu Di and even Luo Fei outside the base at any time.

Following the crowd, Tang Zheng and they went up to the fifth floor.

Speaker Xie Jinshan did not move his office to the top floor, and Tang Zheng estimated that no one was willing to climb the stairs because there was no electricity.

Not all the base leaders arrived in this wave, because the distance of each base is different, some come first and some arrive last, and today this wave is about fifteen or sixteen leaders.

One of them brought an entourage, almost thirty people.

At the end of a hallway on the fifth floor, there were guards standing guard.

After checking to make sure that no one was carrying rifles, the door was opened and let go.

The door to the reception room opened, and I walked inside, and inside was a thick handmade carpet.

The large chandelier, the desk, the huge landscape paintings on the background wall, and the surrounding reception sofa are rare places to stay in the last days.

Behind the desk sat a man, and there were four guards standing beside him.

Seeing these people, Tang Zheng knew why they were allowed to carry pistols.

Because these guards all brought submachine guns and wore body armor, the armed forces were almost at the level of suppression.

And more importantly, all five of them are mutants.

Especially those who sit behind their desks.

That is the Speaker of the Alliance, Xie Jinshan.

Xie Jinshan is a middle-aged man of nearly forty years old, who looks well maintained and looks gentle.

But Tang Zheng could feel that there was great power in his body.

In fact, among the leaders present, there were also quite a few mutants, but they didn't look like Xie Jinshan's powerful feeling.

If the mutant has a rank, Xie Jinshan's level must not be low.

It is estimated that in addition to taking crystals, he must have eaten a lot of mutant beast meat.

After entering the room, Xie Jinshan opened his mouth to talk to everyone.

"Everyone is very welcome to the base of the University of Agriculture, Forestry and Animal Husbandry, I am Xie Jinshan, please sit down."

Someone led everyone to sit on the guest sofa in a circle, Tang Zheng sat by the window, and Guo Yun stood behind him.

"You must know that the original intention of the establishment of our alliance is to let everyone in this northern region at the junction of four provinces live and work in peace and contentment, and finally return to our previous era."

"In the process, we faced a lot of problems, the first of which was taxation."

"In the process of coming, I think everyone has also seen how many people are in this base now, how many mouths are waiting to eat, these are all living people, they are our compatriots, they have all lost their relatives, we can't let the pain continue."

"So, please cooperate and understand my work, paying taxes is the basis of the existence of the Alliance, and no one can shirk it under any pretext."

"Of course, if the alliance collects your taxes, it will provide you with protection, and as many people as you pay taxes, there will be as many people under our protection."

"Some people may question, question whether the Alliance has the power to protect you? What if after paying taxes, the Union's words don't count? ”

Hearing this, many of the leaders pricked up their ears.

Indeed, this is also the point that everyone is most worried about.

There are still a lot of dangers out there, first of all, zombies.

Zombies may follow people, and they may come in search of taste, especially when mutated zombies appear, and the danger increases exponentially.

In order to deal with mutant zombies, many bases have to take some stupid methods, such as trapping, and then finding a way to kill them, which is extremely dangerous.

There is also the mutant beast, the mutant beast is also very dangerous, the attack is very strong, at this stage, the people who die under the claws of the mutant beast every day are no less than zombies.

For example, stray dogs, stray cats or something in the city are enough to be fatal.

There is also the threat of people, and it has to be said that the quality of people is uneven, and some bases have done all the bad things, and it is difficult to be punished.

And those adventurer teams, it's normal to do something bad.

Mercenaries appear to ensure safety.

However, not everyone can hire mercenaries, and some mercenaries can even eat black, so the protection of the alliance is also very important.

Xie stood up from behind his desk.

With an iron bucket in his hand, he said as he walked: "This is also the purpose of my call to you today, I will take you to visit the military training of the alliance in a while, so that everyone can have a correct understanding of the strength of the alliance." ”

"Take a look, it's always reassuring, lest everyone think that I thank someone for blowing nonsense here."

As he spoke, he walked over to a large fish tank.

A piece of fresh beef was taken out of the bucket and he threw it directly into the fish tank.

The fish tank, which was calm just now, suddenly a black shadow jumped up.

The beef was fished out by a tentacle.

Tang Zheng's pupils dilated almost instantly.

Because he saw that the black shadow in this big fish tank turned out to be an octopus!

An octopus with a body length of more than one meter is not small before the end of the world, but it is not big in the end times.

Guo Yun, a scientific research soldier, was behind Tang Zheng, looked at it for a while, and suddenly spoke.

"General, this octopus is a juvenile."

"Moreover, it has mutated, and the water in the tank that keeps it is not seawater but freshwater."

"I can feel that it will grow in size in the future, and if there is any more catalyst, it may be ridiculously large, General, we should."

Tang Zheng raised his hand and wiped the moist corners of his mouth.

"Am I the kind of person who steals chickens and dogs? Let's look into this matter. ”
