Doomsday Commander: Chapter 187 burst out
Chapter 187 Sudden Explosion
Inside 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 to pursue thousands of kilometers and killed 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 Chasing Light Army ignored my identity 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, Division Commander Liao Yucheng personally called Tang Zheng, the leader of the Light Chasing 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 the fortifications to kill and injure more than a dozen of our law enforcement officers. Their attitude and arrogance are 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 shall 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 200,000 zombies have been eliminated in total, please see the report from the front line below."
In the picture, more than a hundred thousand people of the Fifth Group Army are setting up positions in Hezhou City to deal with zombies.
Tang Zheng glanced twice, then turned off the TV casually.
Liu Yibang issued an ultimatum to himself, asking himself to explain this matter within 48 hours, otherwise it will be regarded as the beginning of war.
Tang Zheng didn't care about this kind of ultimatum. A ultimatum that has no actual binding force is not painful or itchy at all, so it's not worth mentioning.
But Tang Zheng didn't want them to succeed, and immediately let Zhuguang TV station counterattack.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhuguang TV made a news column program.
The program is about the chaos in Qinzhou City.
In the program, Liao Yucheng is completely a demon image, and the video images Xie Lanlan took have become 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 pictures 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 Jinghe side was broadcast yesterday, people in the northern region consciously kept their distance from Zhuguang City, because Tang Zheng was already bold enough to fight against the empire, and they dared not participate in this matter at all.
But he didn't expect Tang Zheng to give such a sharp counterattack today.
The crimes of Liao Yucheng 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 is a division commander, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and no one can do anything to him. When such a person does evil, too many people suffer.
How can such a person take up the position of teacher, what does Liu Yibang think?
Could it be that Liu Yibang is also such a person?
This kind of discussion has a great market in Chasing Light City.
But the people in the other survival bases didn't dare to speak up at the moment.
Tang Zheng's news 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 when confronted with the Empire, no one is optimistic that the Light Chasing Army can take advantage.
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, synthetic video, none of the content of the video was true.
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 join forces with 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.
Surrounding survival bases, many of them have indeed stopped trading with the City of Chasing Light.
The survivors in the city did indeed lose to a considerable extent.
The centuries-old rule of the empire has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. 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 400,000, and a daily floating population of about 200,000. After this incident, there has been a certain decline.
About 50,000 permanent residents chose to leave, and the floating population dropped to tens of thousands of people every day.
Zhuguang City, which used to have a population of about 600,000, has now dropped to about 400,000, about one-third less.
Although 400,000 people are still very large, 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 outside, and let anyone who wants to buy them buy it. The Light Chasing Army has been established for so long, 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 can be exchanged when you want to use it, so you don't have to worry about how much you have.
With Tang Zheng's support, Guangyuan's purchasing power quickly recovered, and it still maintained its original appearance.
As for leaving the 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 Chasing Light 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 Chasing Light City.
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, nor are they allowed to stay within the sphere of influence of Chasing Light City.
Everyone, you must go through the checkpoint, and you can leave here after the inspection.
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 400,000.
Most of the people who stayed behind were those who had developed feelings for the City of Chasing Light and did not want to leave.
The city of 400,000 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 these days, he has been studying the situation of Liao Yucheng.
A large number of war sculptures were sent out by him, soaring 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 are the situation of Liao Yucheng's barracks.
Liao Yucheng's military camp is located in the north of Qinzhou City, about 60 kilometers away from the city.
This barracks is actually his old lair. There are not only tens of thousands of his garrisons, but also hundreds of thousands of survivors. 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.
The central area is a concentration camp built by Liao Yucheng.
This concentration camp is a severely polarized area. Many powerful people also live in the concentration camp, which is a rich area.
The other half is the concentration camp created by Liao Yucheng, which has a place for raising zombies and an arena.
He let those he considered guilty to duel in the gladiatorial arena, killing their 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 to make 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.
Furthermore, 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 700 kilometers.
No one wants the flames of war to reach their own doorstep, so it is inevitable to open up a third-party battlefield.
So he monitored the situation in Qinzhou and could respond in a timely manner.
But in the early morning of this day, before Qinzhou sent troops, the battle in Fengcheng suddenly broke out!
