Doomsday Commander: Chapter 82 first meeting small

  Chapter 82 Seeing the little octopus for the first time

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

  There are also lettering on the bridge, Lover's Bridge.

   It seems that this is a place where lovers would often come to in college.

  After crossing the bridge, the headquarters building is located.

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

  It has been almost two months since the end of the world, and all the places have been cut off, and the places where there is still electricity are basically powered by generators.

  As for the general generator, it is a little weak to bear the elevator.

  So this kind of large-scale electrical equipment is basically a display.

   Fortunately, the stairs were cleaned very clean, Tang Zheng and the others went up to the third floor.

   Entered the cafeteria hall, there were quite a few people here, but it was not that noisy.

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

   Tang Zheng even saw Yong Linling and several people sitting at a table in the distance to eat.

  Looking around, the dishes here are not rich.

  After the end of the world, the most lacking thing now is vegetables.

  In the general vegetable field, the vegetables are buried by weeds, deprived of nutrients and water, and have withered.

   And the vegetables in the supermarket have long been rotten and turned into mud.

   But here, you can still see some green vegetables, but not many.

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

   "There is no mutant meat? It seems that the alliance is not very generous."

  Mutated beast meat is hard to come by for ordinary people, but it shouldn't be so rare for a force like the Alliance with a population of hundreds of thousands.

   It’s okay if you don’t give it normally, but today the leaders of the various bases are entertained, and they don’t even want to give out such a little blood.

  Tang Zheng found an empty seat and sat down, while Ji Yuntian and the others went to order food.

   Came back after a while and brought four lunch boxes.

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

   "General, compared with the food in our cooking class, there is still some gap."

   "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."

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

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

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

  A white-haired foreign old man complained indignantly: "I don't know which **** are making trouble in this land. I have been looking for them for a long time but I can't find them. Now many people think that I sent those people."

A blue-eyed middle-aged man interfaced: "It's not just you, we were also implicated. It is said that the mercenary group is a motley army with people from many countries in it, but the leader is Michael, who is from Magnolia. So you bear the most infamy."

   "Ah! No matter how I explain it, no one believes it anymore, and I don't have any hope for coming to the headquarters this time."

The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "I think, why don't we just hire them? Anyway, we can't explain it clearly, so we just don't explain it. Otherwise, that guy Yong Linling is always against us. It's not good if this continues Method."

"Well, I can consider it, but I will talk about it after meeting the speaker. I don't know when the alliance's entry threshold will be lowered. It requires more than 10,000 survivors and more than 1,000 armed forces. These two are a bit It’s 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 is the so-called international base.

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

   But after the meal, the research soldiers Guo Yun and Wu Di walked around and met a lot of people, and even wrote down the frequency bands of some radio stations.

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

  When the meal was almost finished, someone came to pick up these leaders.

   "Now, everyone, follow me. Let's go to the chairman's reception room. Because there are too many people, each leader can only bring one entourage."

   "Pistols can be carried, but rifles are forbidden. Please confirm your followers as soon as possible and leave with me. When meeting the speaker, be polite and don't make loud noises."

   After speaking concisely, the man walked out, followed by the leaders of the rest of the bases.

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

   "Good general."

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

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

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

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

  Not all the base leaders arrived in this wave, because the journeys of each base are different, some arrive first and some arrive later. Today, there are about fifteen or six leaders in this wave.

  One person brought an entourage, about thirty people.

   At the end of a corridor on the fifth floor, there are guards standing guard.

   After checking and making sure that no one was carrying a rifle, he opened the door and let them go.

  The door of the reception room opened, and walked in. Inside was a thick handmade carpet.

  Large chandelier, desk, huge landscape painting on the background wall, and surrounding reception sofas, this is a rare good place in the last days.

   There was a person sitting behind the desk, and four guards stood beside him.

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

  Because these guards are all carrying submachine guns and wearing body armor, the armed forces are almost at the suppressive level.

   And more importantly, these five people are all mutants.

  Especially people sitting behind desks.

   That is Xie Jinshan, the chairman of the alliance.

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

  But Tang Zheng could feel that there was a powerful force in his body.

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

  If mutants have levels, Xie Jinshan's level must not be low.

   It is estimated that in addition to taking crystals, he must have eaten mutated animal meat.

   After entering the room, Xie Jinshan spoke to everyone.

   "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 reception sofa in a circle, Tang Zheng sat by the window, and Guo Yun stood behind him.

   "Everyone should know that the original intention of our alliance is to allow everyone in the northern region where the four provinces meet to live and work in peace and contentment, and eventually return to our previous era."

  "During this process, we faced many problems, the first being taxation."

"In the process of coming, everyone must have seen how many people there are in this base, how many mouths are waiting to eat, these are real people, our compatriots, they have lost their relatives, we can't let The pain continues."

   "So, please cooperate and understand my work. Taxation is the basis for the existence of the alliance. No one should use any excuses to shirk."

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

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

  Hearing this, many leaders raised their ears.

   Indeed, this is what everyone is most worried about.

   There are still many dangers outside, the first being zombies.

   Zombies may follow people, and they may come in pursuit of smells, especially when mutated zombies appear, the danger doubles.

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

   There are also mutant beasts, which are also very dangerous and very aggressive. At this stage, people who die under the claws of mutant beasts every day are no less than zombies.

  For example, the appearance of stray dogs and cats in the city is fatal.

  There is also the threat of people. It has to be said that the quality of people varies. Some bases do all kinds of bad things, and it is difficult to be punished.

  There are also those adventurer teams, it is normal to do some bad things casually.

  The emergence of mercenaries is to ensure safety.

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

  Xie Jinshan stood up from behind the desk.

   He took an iron bucket by hand, and he said as he walked: "This is also the purpose of calling you here today. I will take you to visit the military training of the alliance later, so that everyone can have a correct understanding of the power of the alliance."

   "Take a look, and you will always feel relieved, lest everyone think that I thank someone for blowing their minds here."

   While speaking, he walked to a large fish tank.

   Taking out a piece of fresh beef from the bucket, he threw it directly into the fish tank.

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

   The beef was scooped up by a tentacle.

   Tang Zheng's pupils dilated almost instantly.

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

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

  Scientist Guo Yun stood behind Tang Zheng, looked at it for a while and suddenly spoke.

   "General, this octopus is a juvenile."

   "Moreover, it has mutated. The water in the fish tank where it is raised is not sea water but fresh water."

   "I can feel that its future size will grow very large. If there is any catalyst, it may grow to an outrageous level. General, we should."

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

   "Am I the kind of person who sneaks around? Study this matter carefully."
