The morning of March 4th.
Tang Zheng came out of the courtyard where his father was.
He had breakfast here and told his father about his departure.
Although the father was a little reluctant to give up, he didn't say anything. After all, his son was older and had grown into an upright man, and he no longer needed to worry about many things.
Saying goodbye to his father, sister, Xu Jingqiu, Xiao Dili and others, Tang Zheng left here.
Back at the official residence, Guo Yun was already waiting here.
Seeing Tang Zheng return, Guo Yun handed Tang Zheng a drawing.
[Medium-sized shipyard: selling price is one million gold. 】
Seeing this drawing, Tang Zheng was very happy. Before he left for the trip, Guo Yun finally finished it.
Using the blueprint, a medium-sized shipyard was added to the building.
Tang Zheng looked at the vehicle page again and found that the battleship and light aircraft carrier had been unlocked.
These two kinds of ships are what Tang Zheng has been waiting for for a long time. They will be his capital for traversing the oceans in the future.
It's just that it can't be built yet. The small river Fengming River cannot carry such large ships. It can only be done in coastal areas and on non-frozen water.
But Tang Zheng discovered that there was another thing inside the vehicle.
[M3 Bicycle Boat Bridge Vehicle: With 4 people on board, it can quickly build a pontoon bridge on the water. The length of the pontoon bridge is 15 meters, the width is 10 meters, and the maximum load is 70 tons. The price is thirty thousand gold. 】
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He was sure that there was no such vehicle before.
"Guo Yun, what's going on with this pontoon car?"
"General, this is the latest vehicle developed by the scientific research institute. It is also unlocked by a medium-sized shipyard. This vehicle can quickly build pontoons and allow our army's main battle tanks to pass. This is also to cope with the complex river environment in the future. It can be used by troops to quickly cross the river."
After listening, Tang Zheng nodded. It was always good to have one more unit, but he didn't need it for the time being, so he didn't buy it.
After obtaining the medium-sized shipyard, everything on his side has been settled and he can leave.
Han Yang has already found Tang Zheng's substitute. He is an ordinary soldier of the Light Chasing Army. After makeup, he looks very similar to Tang Zheng.
After putting on the military uniform, ordinary people can't tell it at all.
In order to prevent others from seeing the clues, Ning Yuwei also chose to stay in Zhuguang this time and continue to be her guard company commander.
As for Tang Zheng, he didn't even have the soldiers from the previous guard company with him this time.
He didn't even bring any of the faces that had appeared on TV before. Almost all of the people following him this time were new faces.
In addition to correspondents Wu Di and Han Yang, Ji Yuntian also wanted to follow. Tang Zheng asked Han Yang to put some makeup on him and then followed him.
In addition, Tang Zheng brought a security squad.
Of the eight people in the guard squad, four are from the Dragon Scale Special Forces and four are from the Tiger Wings Special Forces.
These eight people are all five-star special forces. Their personal strength is completely comparable to the level 2 mutants.
Among them, Su Xin, the captain of the Dragon Scale Special Forces, has taken the lead in being upgraded to five stars. This time, he temporarily served as Tang Zheng's guard squad leader and set off with him.
Tang Zheng brought his correspondents Wu Di, Han Yang, Ji Yuntian, and eight soldiers from the security squad to Zhuguang City Airport.
From here, Tang Zheng boarded an An-124 large transport aircraft.
Under the escort of war eagles, the transport plane took off from Light Chaser City.
Under the early morning light, the plane took off, its destination was Jinghe Airport.
After flying in the air for more than an hour, the distance of more than a thousand kilometers passed in an instant.
The plane landed at Jinghe Airport, and the defenders here were already waiting here.
The plane parked and the cabin door opened. After Tang Zheng got off the plane, there was already a vehicle waiting here.
The group of people got on the bus, set off from the airport and went straight to the dock in the southern part of Jinghe County.
The Jinghe River is in the east of Hezhou, and there are two rivers passing through the urban area of Hezhou. One is the Jinhe River. After passing through Hezhou, it does not pass through Jinghe County.
But the other Xiangshui River flows through Jinghe County.
This time Tang Zheng was going to set off from Xiangshui River and take a boat to the east coast.
Now is the end of the world, there are countless dangers in the wild, and zombies are rampant everywhere. Especially after the departure of the Fifth Army, there are almost no regular troops stationed in the entire Hezhou area and several eastern provinces, and the zombies have not been eliminated at all.
As far as Tang Zheng knew, the other newly built countries had not yet set up any large-scale safety zones, so traveling in the wild on the roads was more dangerous.
There is no such concern in the waterway. Although there are mutated fish in the inland rivers, they can't have any impact on the big ships, so they can still move forward with confidence.
It is already March, and the latitude of Jinghe County is further south than Zhuguang City, and the ice on the river has melted.
Although there are some ice floes, it does not affect the navigation of ships.
Tang Zheng and his party arrived at the shore of Xiangshui, where a ship had already docked.
It was not a transport ship of the Light Chasing Army, but an ordinary civilian cargo ship.
After the end of the world, it will be difficult for military ships to launch, but since the corrosive air disappeared, such civilian cargo ships can still be used.
Because these ships have very low technical requirements and can be easily manufactured, some old hulls can still be used if they are renovated, as long as you replace the power equipment and electrical equipment inside.
This time Tang Zheng needed an identity to go to the eastern region, and of course he couldn't appear with his original identity.
Han Yang completed the make-up for Tang Zheng on the plane, and now Tang Zheng looked like Xiao Fan again.
And his identity is an arms dealer from Mesopotamia.
There were a lot of guns and ammunition on this ship to prove his identity.
A group of people boarded the ship. There were also some sailors dressed as boatmen and sailors from the Light Chaser Army, who were responsible for driving the ship. There were more than forty people in total.
Starting from here by boat, Tang Zheng had to first travel more than a thousand kilometers southeast along the Xiangshui River, and then enter the North-South Grand Canal from the south of Beijing.
Travel more than two thousand kilometers on the canal and enter Bailongjiang River.
Driving 600 kilometers from Bailongjiang, you can enter the southern part of Sanjiang and then reach Haojiang.
After that, there is only a waterway of less than 100 kilometers to reach Didui Island.
Of course, you can also enter the Sea of Storms from the Bailongjiang estuary and detour from the Sea of Storms to Didicui Island, but that is a bit far and risky.
This process is quite laborious and is estimated to take about ten days.
When Tang Zheng left, he also made an explanation to the troops.
In addition to the remaining troops in Zhuguang City, two field regiments, an armored battalion and an artillery battalion, began to station themselves in Jinghe County.
Because it is closer to the east coast from here, if Tang Zheng needs it, these troops can be dispatched to support there at any time.
After bidding farewell to the defenders, Tang Zheng and his party boarded the ship, and the freighter started.
This cargo ship is not small, with a length of more than a hundred meters. Fortunately, there are no heavy munitions on the ship, such as tanks, otherwise it would be difficult to sail on the Xiangshui River.
The surface of the freighter is stained with rust, which is more in line with the norm in the end of the world.
However, the power system of the freighter has obviously been modified, and it travels very fast. In addition, the ship now travels from west to east, with smooth wind and current, and it actually feels no slower than the road.
Tang Zheng came to his room, where there were soldiers preparing meals and waiting for him.
On this ship, there are also cooks from the Zhuguang Army who are responsible for cooking. Otherwise, the general would not be able to eat well during the thousands of miles of journey.
However, after Tang Zheng tasted the food, he found that he had no appetite.
After the apocalypse, Xu Jingqiu was a very qualified cook. He opened a small stove for Tang Zheng every day, which made Tang Zheng's appetite become more demanding. This kind of big pot rice that used to be delicious was now a bit difficult to swallow.
But he was not a pretentious person, so he ate some and then turned on the TV on the boat.
The facilities on this ship are relatively complete, and you can also watch TV.
Tang Zheng even knew that there were several machine guns and machine guns installed in the ship for defensive operations.
For a team of outdoor adventurers, machine guns are almost invincible. As long as they don't run into regular troops, there is no problem with the safety of this ship.
Tang Zheng actually had some knowledge about Didicui Island, the target of this trip.
Sanjiang City, which he left before, is actually more than 200 kilometers north of Didui Island.
To the south of Didicui Island is Zhonghai City, and to the north is the jurisdiction of Sanjiang City.
Before the end of the world, Tang Zheng also traveled to Didui Island and had a deep impression of it.
There are indeed a lot of foreigners there, there are many foreign-invested companies on the island, and there are dozens of consulates from all over the world.
I just didn't expect that after the apocalypse broke out, the land belonging to Han Yue would be completely occupied by foreigners.
This time, when Tang Zheng gets there, he will definitely have a conflict with those foreigners.
But Tang Zheng didn't care. After obtaining the system, he was destined to go against many forces in the world, and armed conflict was inevitable.
While thinking about what to do when he got to Didui Island, Tang Zheng fell asleep while watching a TV series on the TV. Amidst the slight rocking of the ship, Tang Zheng fell asleep.
After sleeping all night, when I woke up the next day, the boat had left the Jinghe River area and arrived at the edge of the two rivers.
After eating breakfast which still had no appetite, Tang Zheng was a little bored and was in a daze on the boat.
Sailing on the water is very boring, and there is nothing surprising about the scenery on the shore.
Especially in the apocalyptic situation, there are hundreds of miles of no-man's land everywhere, the shore is overgrown with grass, and there are few human beings. Seeing too much makes people feel sleepy.
In the Xiangshui River area, the ship traveled for more than three days and finally entered the North-South Canal south of Beijing from a relatively narrow waterway.
The canal is 200 meters wide and runs through the waterway from Yuanjing to Qianzhou, making transportation very convenient.
Only after arriving here did Tang Zheng gain some energy.
Because he saw here that the grass and trees on the shore gradually became green.
After staying in Zhuguang City for a long time, I am used to seeing the ice and snow, the mountains, and the snow-covered wasteland. Now I see the rare green and feel very comfortable.
Spring is here, and although it has not yet reached the northern region, it has already appeared in the south.
The further south you go from the canal, the more green you see. Even after driving for a few days, Tang Zheng saw wild flowers blooming on the shore.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Tang Zheng looked at the shore. In the twilight, Tang Zheng saw a huge boundary monument on the parallel road on the shore.
“Welcome to Bulk Province.”
Seeing this, Tang Zheng suddenly felt like he was revisiting his old place.
We have reached the northern part of Bulk Province, and after another thousand kilometers of journey, we are almost back to Sanjiang.
When I think of the scene when I left here, I still vividly remember it.
Now that he was back here again, Tang Zheng felt like he was in another world, and he couldn't help but sigh that things in the world are impermanent.
