Lena delivered gold and enriched uranium, and received twenty rifles, five AK47s, a box of grenades and a large number of bullets.
Seeing Lian Na's harvest, many people watching around were a little red-eyed.
In their opinion, Lian Na only paid some insignificant things, but to be able to get so many good weapons in exchange was a huge profit.
Things like gold and gems were indeed valuable before the end of the world, but what are their uses now besides looking good?
If Zhuguang City had not purchased these things, no one would have picked them up even if they fell on the ground.
As for the enriched uranium, can it be eaten?
Some people believe that if the imperial military obtained it, it might be used in some nuclear power plant experiments, but it is absolutely useless to get this thing from Light Chaser City.
Lian Na was also very happy. After getting these weapons, she also thought she had made a profit this time.
Not only did he make a profit, but he also helped Tang Zheng a small favor and made a good start and pavement for the subsequent negotiations.
Tang Zheng accompanied Lian Na around the city again, and then arranged for someone to accommodate Lian Na and the others.
The place to stay is the Zhuguang Hotel in the future.
The hotel is planned, but the construction has not been completed. Currently, we can only live in mobile homes.
However, according to the construction progress, there are too many people working in the city now.
Working at various construction sites in Chasing Light City every day is the most ideal place for ordinary survivors.
As long as you work here, you can be provided with free meals every day, and you can also take away a small amount of food, and you can also get a small amount of Light Chaser City points cards.
The cooking class is simply too busy, and the cooks are recruited on a temporary basis.
In the last days, food is always the biggest need. Ordinary survivors have no food source, so they have begun to dig grass roots and peel tree bark. Many people are satisfied if they can get food here.
What's more, you can take away a share and provide it to your relatives or partners. After all, not everyone can adapt to work on the construction site.
The large amount of grain and other materials purchased by Zhuguang City every day are basically used to provide food.
With tens of thousands of people working, Zhuguang City looks different every day.
Two bridges have been built over the Fengming River, and all underground optical cables have been laid.
The city's drainage system has also been completed, and the pavement of many roads has a certain appearance.
Telegraph poles were erected, electricity began to enter the community, and foundations were laid for almost half of the buildings in the city's residential communities.
Some of the buildings that are rushing to work have been capped and have begun to enter the interior decoration stage.
Places such as the Public Security Department, the Ministry of Interior, and the Chasing Light Theater are all almost completed.
Every day, a large number of adventurer teams and mercenaries enter and leave the city, bringing back truckloads of supplies. After being sent to the material recycling station, they are then sent to various construction sites.
Lian Na was arranged into a temporary hotel. Tang Zheng and Lian Na agreed that since the statistical work was still in progress today, they would formally meet tomorrow to discuss taxation matters.
Tonight, Tang Zheng stopped entertaining Lian Na and the others because he had something to do, but Tang Zheng still arranged dinner for them here.
After saying goodbye to Tang Zheng, Lian Na was still lamenting the development of Zhuguang City.
This place is simply perfect for the alliance headquarters.
After she settled in, she immediately sent a message to Alliance Speaker Xie Jinshan.
Soon, Lian Na received a reply from Xie Jinshan.
Xie Jinshan actually knows as much about Chasing Light City as Lian Na does.
In the past few days, the Alliance has sent a large number of personnel into Chasing Light City, and a large number of photos and cell phone videos taken there have been sent back to the Alliance.
It can be said that except for Xie Jinshan who doesn't know what is behind the city wall in the inner city, he has memorized every corner of Zhuguang City.
Not only Lina was thinking about this place, he was also salivating over it.
Now that he received Lian Na's report, Xie Jinshan immediately gave Lian Na a death order.
"Lian Na, I give you a task that must be completed. We don't have to pay taxes, but the only thing is that we must sign a protection agreement, and then our garrison will take over the walls of the south gate or east gate. This is our bottom line. , there must be no concession at all!”
Lian Na asked: "Then how many troops are there in our garrison?"
"How many people are there in Tang Zheng's Light Chasing Army?"
"According to my preliminary observation, including engineers, there are about 600 people. No other troops have been seen."
Xie Jinshan nodded slightly, and the analysis of the intelligence he had collected in the past few days was also like this.
Don't know what is hidden in Tang Zheng's inner city, but you can be sure that there are definitely not many people inside.
A large city guarded by more than 600 people was like a child carrying gold through the city. Xie Jinshan believed that Tang Zheng would definitely not be able to defend his city if he did not expand his army.
He also didn't want Tang Zheng to expand his army, so he had to act quickly.
"Lena, the number of our troops must be at least 1,500. This can also reflect the sincerity of the alliance. You must implement this as soon as possible. After signing the contract, immediately broadcast to this area Announce this matter and make the information public."
Lian Na hesitated for a moment: "Speaker, I don't think Tang Zheng is that easy to talk to. Should we consider grabbing him directly? After all, it's the end of the world. People's hearts and public opinion are not that important anymore."
"Confused!"
Xie Jinshan reprimanded: "Do you think the empire is really over? You are wrong. I recently received news that someone discovered a small group of imperial troops in the border area between the two rivers. This matter is absolutely extraordinary. , once the empire recovers, forces like us will be in danger. Before that, we must try our best to strengthen ourselves, and try not to leave too many shortcomings, so we must hold the City of Light in our own hands, and We must try our best to obtain it as openly and honestly as possible. Only with this base can we have a future, do you understand?"
"I understand Speaker, I will definitely get the power to garrison troops."
"As long as you understand, the future may be an era of separatism."
After saying this, Xie Jinshan ended the call with Lian Na.
He still had to make some preparations. As soon as Lian Na signed a contract with Tang Zheng, he would immediately send troops to Chasing Light City.
After the transaction with Lian Na was completed, Tang Zheng returned to his residence.
With 50,000 pieces of gold in hand, Tang Zheng's funds exceeded 200,000.
Some of the funds were obtained through the trading floor in the past few days.
However, neither private adventurers nor mercenaries can obtain much funds at once, and the money comes in piecemeal.
Ever since he saw the huge group of corpses, Tang Zheng realized the danger of the situation.
Especially when he heard that the zombies came from Tailai Town, Tang Zheng was sure that the target of the zombies was Zhuguang City, or rather himself.
To survive this crisis, only by obtaining more funds can we ensure our fighting potential.
Now he has two hundred thousand in hand, which is not enough for the war. When those cannons and machine guns fire, the reserves flow out like water.
There are still about 150,000 gold left on the front line that he has not taken, but adding that 150,000 is still a drop in the bucket. His main goal now is to win the gold shop in Shuanglin County.
The battle has been going on for eight days. At present, the troops have eliminated about 200,000 zombies. They are not far from the bridge in the new city.
In three or four days, we will almost be able to reach the Peace Bridge.
At that time, Tang Zheng will personally direct the battle, take down the wall, and fight against the corpses in the new city.
I hope that before the zombies arrive, we can capture the gold shop and prepare for the upcoming war.
As for the alliance, Tang Zheng also had a relatively comprehensive plan.
Now we are waiting for a formal meeting and negotiation tomorrow to come up with a result that satisfies both parties.
As for the alliance's thoughts, Tang Zheng could guess it with his toes.
Those guys from the Alliance are greedy enough to dare to charge such a heavy tax. It is almost impossible not to be tempted when they see their own Light-Chasing City.
At that time, there may be a request for garrisoning troops.
However, garrisoning is not that easy. Without paying a huge price, it will be difficult for the garrisoned party to accept such humiliating conditions.
If the alliance wanted to station troops in Zhuguang City, Tang Zheng felt that this matter could be discussed.
But how to grasp the degree of control and how to ensure that things cannot go out of control also need to be carefully considered.
Just as Tang Zheng was thinking, the door to the yard opened and a truck drove in.
The only people who could enter and leave Tang Zheng's private residence at will were those in the security platoon.
The man driving the car got out, it was He Xue, a scientific research soldier.
"General, it's done!"
He Xue ran to Tang Zheng's side excitedly, raising her little face and waiting for praise.
"Oh! Is the truck bomb you mentioned completed? It's awesome."
He Xue was a little unhappy after hearing Tang Zheng's perfunctory answer.
"General, take a closer look at this car."
Tang Zheng raised his head and looked at this vehicle that was modified from a military heavy truck.
The back of the carriage was transformed into something like a large oil tank with a black skull painted on it.
"What is this? A tanker truck? It's very common."
"That's a disguise. How about not letting others see the clues? Isn't it a good disguise?"
"It's really good. I didn't notice anything."
"That's right, but General, let me tell you, there are thousands of kilograms of TNT explosives in it, as well as explosive devices that I personally fired. The power of the truck explosion before was comparable to an aerial bomb. I plan to give it to you. But I feel that there is something lacking, just the last bit of uranium. Now that we have enriched uranium, this bomb is completely successful."
"Then how powerful is it?"
"Let me tell you this, once this thing explodes, its power is almost comparable to that of a small nuclear bomb. Within a radius of two kilometers, there won't be a single living person alive, and everything will be vaporized!"
"Oh, that's serious. How big an area did you say? Two kilometers?!"
Tang Zheng was stunned, two square kilometers? What is that concept?
This is not a little boy, but also a baby.
"Yes, to be precise, it's about as big as two square kilometers. How about General? I'm great. Guo Yun said that he can make a potion that can turn 60% of zombies back into humans. So far, he has not succeeded. I succeeded first."
With that said, He Xue handed a remote control into Tang Zheng's hand.
"General, this is for you. As long as you press the button in the middle, this truck will explode with a bang. You can drive it like a normal truck. From now on, this truck will be placed next to you, ensuring that you can sleep soundly. , Oh, by the way, this remote control is very important, don’t give it to others, it’s best to put it under the pillow when you sleep, for safety.”
Tang Zheng took the remote control and looked at the big red button in the middle. When He Xue said to put this thing under his pillow, he didn't feel safe at all.
