The reason why Tang Zheng appeared here in time was because he came here immediately after he got the shipyard.
He wanted to come here to build a ship. After all, he came from the Light-Chasing City. It was too far away from here and it was too late to come at the speed of the ship.
Because ships cannot appear directly on land, they can only appear in rivers.
There is also a rule in the system that when new units join the army, they must appear within the radar range.
Anything that is not within the range of the radar must appear within the range of Tang Zheng's portable radar.
So Tang Zheng had to make this trip himself and came here to produce a wave of ships.
After the purchase of four icebreakers, eighty transport ships, and some assault boats, Tang Zheng spent more than 1.2 million.
Tang Zheng originally planned to buy more, but after purchasing these, he found that his troops had reached full strength.
Crews and sailors also have to occupy the quota of the troops. After purchasing the ships, Tang Zheng's troops have reached the full strength of 30,000 people and can no longer purchase any more.
The number of ships was not enough, so a large number of abandoned ships could only be found for towing and loading people.
Anyway, there is no need for the power of these ships now, as long as they can float on the water.
This wave of emergency operations did work, that is, the remaining soldiers of the Fifth Army were rescued.
The fleets on both sides launched at the same time and rescued a total of about 70,000 people.
But although the rescue was successful, there was still one last task waiting for Tang Zheng.
Then there are the 300,000 people who were stranded in Hezhou and the imperial princess who refused to leave.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng cursed Liu Yibang secretly.
Nothing can happen to Li Wuyou now. She is the last bloodline of the imperial royal family. Once she dies, there will be no heir in the entire empire, and everyone can legitimately fight on their own.
As long as Li Wuyou lives, no matter how ambitious others are, they can only be temporarily obedient. At least they must maintain superficial obedience. This is very important.
Especially for Tang Zheng, he really needs Li Wuyou alive now.
Because among his system upgrade tasks, there is still a land area requirement.
This rescue, which invested huge amounts of money and manpower, has basically solved the population problem. After the rescue is over, as long as these people stay in Zhuguang City, the population will definitely exceed five million.
But in terms of land area, another requirement is to be recognized by surrounding forces.
Who else is around Tang Zheng at this moment?
Apart from Liu Yibang, there was also Liao Yucheng, but their recognition may not be useful because the masters behind them are all Li Wuyou.
Therefore, as long as Li Wuyou recognizes Tang Zheng's territory, then as long as he encloses the land, this task will be completed, and objections from anyone else in the empire will be invalid, because they have no right to recognize or enfeoff the land.
So Li Wuyou must or it was just Liu Yibang's actions that messed everything up.
Tang Zheng couldn't blame Liu Yibang too much. After all, from his point of view, what he did couldn't be wrong.
The helicopter took off and Tang Zheng went straight to the airport.
He also knew the battle report from the front line here. Some wounded soldiers from the Fifth Army formed the last line of defense. If it were not for the support of his own missiles, it would be over now. Even now, they can only support it for another twenty minutes at most.
So he was pressed for time and had to get to the airport as soon as possible.
The helicopter quickly landed at the airport, and under the protection of the security company, Tang Zheng entered the chaotic airport hall.
There are some troops directly under the battalion controlling the scene, but the scene is still very chaotic.
The news came out that Liu Yibang had led the troops to leave, and the people who felt abandoned were desperate.
They tried to break through the defense line composed of battalions directly under the Light Chasing Army, and entered the airport tarmac to board the plane.
The people directly under the battalion are responsible for maintaining order. Of course, such chaotic scenes cannot be allowed. The officers led people to stop it.
Some people did not believe in evil at first, and did not believe that the Light Chasing Army dared to shoot, so they attacked people in the direct battalion with various metal products, such as dismantled guardrails, metal trash cans, and even fire extinguishers.
Faced with this situation, the officers of the Light Chasing Army did not hesitate and directly ordered the shooting.
Some rioters were shot dead on the spot, and rivers of blood flowed at the entrance to the airport passage.
Most of the people were shocked and did not dare to act rashly, but some people were still so collapsed that they gave up and kept inciting the crowd to rush forward. The scene was still chaotic.
At this time, Li Wuyou, who had originally boarded the plane to leave, came back and took the initiative to communicate with both parties to keep everyone calm. She would stay here and would not leave as long as there were still people who had not left.
With Li Wuyou's intervention, the situation was temporarily under control, but this was only temporary.
Once the zombies really rush over, no one can stay calm.
Tang Zheng arrived under such circumstances.
Before entering the airport, he once again received news from the front line.
The southeast wall has been breached, and zombies have begun to enter the city.
The distance from the city wall to the airport is only seven or eight kilometers, and it only takes forty or fifty minutes for the zombies to get here.
Tang Zheng quickly entered the airport and arrived at the densest crowd, where Li Wuyou was.
The guard company separated the crowd, and Tang Zheng came to Li Wuyou's side.
The once glamorous imperial princess was now a little embarrassed.
After many days of suffering, she was in a very bad condition. Her face was as pale as paper, and her thin body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.
Only her eyes are bright, and her waist is still tall and straight, but the way she is stretched out is too obvious, giving her the feeling of a sickly beauty.
Seeing Tang Zheng approaching, Li Wuyou followed him with his eyes.
This was the first real meeting between the two people, who had only seen each other on TV before.
Tang Zheng walked up to Li Wuyou, his tall body almost completely covering her in the shadow.
A powerful and compelling aura rushed towards his face. Li Wuyou felt inexplicably uneasy and shy. He tried to raise his head and looked at Tang Zheng's face: "Hello, Chief Tang."
Tang Zheng lowered his head and looked into Li Wuyou's eyes: "Your Highness, you must leave, immediately."
Li Wuyou shook his head: "No, I won't leave. I have a promise to the people."
Tang Zheng snorted from his nostrils, "I am the one who makes the decision here. Even if you are a princess, you must listen to me."
Li Wuyou still insisted: "I won't."
"boom!"
Tang Zheng didn't talk nonsense, he raised his hand gently and cut Li Wuyou's neck with his palm.
With his first-level peak double mutation strength, he could knock down the fragile girl in front of him with just one touch.
The maid next to Li Wuyou screamed and supported her limp body. Tang Zheng waved his hand without waiting for the other party to ask anything: "I don't want your princess to die, so take her on the plane immediately and leave here."
The maid also understood the importance, nodded, and then ran towards the boarding gate with the princess on her shoulders.
When the people around saw the princess being knocked down and taken away, they thought they were going to be abandoned, and suddenly there was some commotion.
Tang Zheng stood up at this time and took the initiative to say to the surrounding people: "Don't panic, the princess must leave, but I will stay here. You should know that I am Tang Zheng, the lord of Zhuguang City, and the whole Hezhou I have saved everyone. You can still live if you listen to me. If anyone dares to cause trouble, then he will stay with me! Don’t think that I will be polite to you. I am not an imperial royal force. I have no obligation to save you. If anyone gets in the way Me, let’s see if I will be merciless in killing people!”
The people who were still very arrogant when facing the princess became quiet now.
The Tang Zheng in front of him is not a little sheep like the princess. I am afraid I will never be able to count how many people this guy has killed in the Northern Territory.
Seeing the quiet crowd in front of him, Tang Zheng was quite satisfied, so he stood here expressionless, silently counting the time.
The correspondent next to him constantly brought back first-hand news to Tang Zheng through the radar and war eagle perspective.
"General, the northeast wall is also broken, and there is only a five-minute gap between it and the southeast wall."
"The wounded troops of the Fifth Army have been completely wiped out, and there are no signs of life left."
"Two waves of corpses advanced at the same time and have already approached the center of the river mouth area."
"It is still impossible to determine the exact number of corpses, but a rough analysis shows that the number of corpses currently besieging Hezhou City is still over five million."
Tang Zheng nodded slightly, the Fifth Army fought bloody battles for six days, and the results were pretty good, killing more than four million corpses.
But that's it, this is their limit.
If they hadn't supported them many times, their number of kills would have been reduced by at least half.
But those are not important anymore. He will leave after completing the rescue. This group of corpses will not threaten the Light Chaser City, which is less than 600 kilometers away for the time being.
Now everything depends on He Xue's side.
The two groups of corpses moved forward quickly. Whether they were going to the train station or the airport, they had to pass through the central square of the Hekou District.
This square is the largest leisure square in Hezhou City. He Xue is currently there, rushing to make her car bomb.
Tang Zheng used this kind of bomb once, and the effect was very good, comparable to a small nuclear bomb.
He Xue also has rich production experience, and she is guaranteed to be able to complete it. As long as she succeeds, these people will be saved.
If she fails, then Tang Zheng will leave without hesitation.
As time passed by, the personnel at the airport and train station also continued to leave under the leadership of the Light Chasing Army.
Ten minutes later, the correspondent reported to Tang Zheng that the corpses had entered the central square.
"General, the Little Bird helicopter has taken off and is flying towards the airport. The war eagle is escorting it. He Xue is back. The bomb has been successfully made and has been left in the central square, ready to be detonated at any time."
"Okay! Inform He Xue that in five minutes, when the maximum number of zombies enter the square, it will detonate."
"clear!"
Nine p.m.
Zhuguangcheng TV station broadcast a piece of news.
That was a big bang from Rivers State.
The explosion site seemed to have withstood a nuclear bomb attack, and all the surrounding high-rise buildings were destroyed by the explosion.
Within a few kilometers, the area was flattened by the explosion.
The three hundred thousand zombies that entered the river mouth area were completely wiped out by this explosion.
The group of zombies besieging the city were also shaken by this explosion. For a long time, the zombies behind them did not follow up.
People at train stations and airports also gained valuable evacuation time.
Thanks to the powerful transportation efforts of the Zhuguang Army on land, water and air, the last 300,000 people finally evacuated Hezhou at twelve o'clock in the evening.
At this point, more than 3.5 million people in Hezhou have been transferred out to Zhuguang City.
And Hezhou and Jinghe, the two places that the empire had worked hard for, were completely destroyed and became a paradise for zombies.
The first prefecture-level city that the Fifth Army recovered was surrendered.
Through this battle, people also realized the power of the Corpse King.
It turns out that the world has been changing all the time, and it is no longer what they knew.
