Elena asked Tang Zheng about his specific requirements for the house. The first condition Tang Zheng said was that it must be close to the sea.
As for Didui Island, the only place close to the sea is the east coast. The place where Tang Zheng is landing now is on the west coast. They have to drive across the island.
After walking along the road from west to east for about an hour, we gradually approached the eastern coast.
Looking from a distance, the sky is still hazy, but this haze has weakened a lot compared to the early days of the apocalypse, and the blue sky will even occasionally appear.
Under the sky, the sea no longer looks blue, it seems to be black, the sea breeze is blowing, the waves are raging, there is no such beauty as the sea view room in the past.
Tang Zheng and others came to the coastal area and started looking for their favorite house.
Elena was indeed very familiar with this place. She even inquired about the location of the houses for sale here. She walked around and looked around, and the focus of her search was on the seaside villas.
But during the search process, Tang Zheng discovered that the coastal areas here were basically occupied.
There are seaside villas, but they are all located in developed communities.
Many communities were from before the apocalypse, and were sea view communities. The villas were clustered one after another, which did not meet Tang Zheng's requirements at all.
When he chooses a house, his first requirement is that it be large.
Bigger is better, because he may have to send troops here.
The second option is to be hidden. There should not be too many neighbors around, otherwise you will be discovered if there is any movement, and you will not be able to give full play to your advantages.
Just these two requirements are very difficult to accomplish.
Although many of the houses Elena found were beautiful, Tang Zheng was still not satisfied.
After searching at the beach all morning, he couldn't find anything suitable. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
At noon, I casually ate something outside and continued searching in the afternoon.
Until two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Zheng and his party arrived at the northeast corner of Didui Island.
A villa is on the market.
The owner is a Nanzhou native and is said to be their country's ambassador here.
Elena took Tang Zheng into the villa courtyard on the pretext of looking at the house.
This is a corner of Didicui Island protruding toward the northeast, which is deeper into the sea than other places.
This is the mouth of Haojiang River. Standing here, you can see the vast sea to the east, and you can see the vast Haojiang River to the north. You can also see some conditions on the other side.
Moreover, there are many reefs on both sides of this corner, which have been washed extremely smooth by the sea water for thousands of years. The reefs are still very high. The reefs on both sides are distributed along the beach, forming a natural angle.
Here in the corner, there is a silver-white beach.
When Tang Zheng came here, he felt that the sea breeze here was particularly strong, and the waves came in waves, washing the beach constantly.
Not far from the beach is a villa, which together with the yard and beach covers an area of more than tens of thousands of square meters. This is almost the largest villa yard that can be found on Didui Island.
Moreover, the neighbors of this villa are located further back than him. Because this corner is deeper into the ocean, the neighbor's position is naturally further back.
Tang Zheng took a fancy to this place when he saw it.
Just when he was about to negotiate the price with the landlord, Elena spoke.
"Mr. Xiao, there is something wrong with this house."
Tang Zheng still appeared under the pseudonym Xiao Fan, so Elena called him Mr. Xiao.
Tang Zheng was confused: "What's the problem?"
Elena said sternly: "I guess you already know about the house we looked at today. Villas on the seaside are not easy to sell."
Tang Zheng nodded. It was indeed true. The prices of villas on the beach were not too high. At least they were a little lower than he had imagined.
Elena continued: "That's because in the ocean, some aquatic animals have grown very big. Even if we are at the beach now, there are often some marine creatures running to the shore, such as ones as big as a pot. Crabs, turtles bigger than tables, etc., these things may attack people, so the safety of beach villas is not very high.”
Tang Zheng nodded. He had known this for a long time and guessed that this was probably the reason why the villa was not too expensive.
"This location is deep into the ocean, with strong wind and waves, and the reef is a natural wind outlet. There will definitely be more marine life coming ashore at high tide, so the safety here is the lowest. I think that Nanzhou The reason why people sell this house is because someone there may have died at the hands of sea creatures, and they are afraid, so they sell this house. You have to think carefully before buying it."
Tang Zheng thought for a while and felt that what Elena said did make sense.
If there are many marine life hidden below the water surface, it will be really disadvantageous for the people who live there.
What he looked at was the concealment here and the large area of the beach. Whether soldiers landed here or sent troops in situ, this place was more suitable.
But if someone appears here, it will be a bit troublesome if it attracts marine life.
How to solve the security problem here is very important.
He closed his eyes slightly and began to think of a solution.
"Underwater. Marine life ensures safety underwater."
"Well! Isn't this what I'm talking about, Tangtang!"
Tang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Tangtang was very frustrated living in the water pool in Zhuguang City. The water pool could no longer accommodate her.
When we went out this time, the river was still frozen, making it inconvenient for Tangtang to travel, and the destination was undecided, so Tang Zheng didn't take it with him.
If Tangtang can be brought here, with the ability of this big guy, it should be no problem to ensure the safety of this water area. I believe that no matter how big the average marine life is, they will stay away from this 60-meter giant octopus. .
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng immediately made a decision.
This is it.
He said to Elena: "Don't worry, Miss Elena. I prefer the wind and waves here. Let's go and negotiate the price with the landlord."
Seeing that Tang Zheng insisted on buying it, Elena shrugged and said she was trying her best.
The next step was to negotiate the price. The homeowner was eager to sell the house and offered a price of SGD 30 million.
Tang Zheng counter-offered the price to 15 million. Although this house is good, the houses in the apocalypse are not that valuable at all. That is to say, there are many people here on Didicui Island. In other places, there are houses everywhere. Not even a person, let alone selling money.
After Tang Zheng finished counter-offering, the landlord shook hands with Tang Zheng and said the deal was done.
This made Tang Zheng feel that he had given too much. If he had known that he could have won it with ten million.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng was not short of money. Fifteen million was only 1.5 million light yuan. He quickly completed the transaction with this person.
The transaction procedures were very simple, and everything was simplified in the last days. It was completed quickly, and Tang Zheng became the owner of the villa.
After the transaction was completed and some commissions were given, Elena chose to leave.
Tang Zheng led people into the villa.
The yard is very big, and the house is not particularly big. It is a three-story villa with an underground floor.
The homeowner left after the transaction was completed, leaving nothing in the house behind.
So the furniture here is all-inclusive, everything is available, and it even looks a little messy.
Tang Zheng would not take the initiative to clean up these things. He sat down on the sofa on the first floor of the villa and began to contact the Light Chaser City.
He asked Guo Yun to think of a way to transport Tangtang to him first.
Otherwise, if this guy had to swim by himself, it would probably take a month or two before he gets here.
After Guo Yun thought about it for a while, he gave Tang Zheng a way.
That is to use the An-124 large transport aircraft. The scientific research institute is responsible for making a huge water bag, placing it inside the cabin, and then filling it with water, so that Tangtang can temporarily feel aggrieved and stay in the cabin.
Although Tangtang has a huge body, the octopus is a mollusk and can curl up into the cabin of a large transport aircraft.
Then the transport plane took off from Zhuguang City and flew directly to the island where Tang Zheng was located.
You may not be able to find a suitable airport to land here, but it doesn’t matter, just drop Tangtang into the sea from the air.
A person who falls from a high altitude may fall to his death in the sea water, but Tangtang, a mollusk, is absolutely fine.
Then the plane will return directly to Light Chaser City without stopping.
After hearing this plan, Tang Zheng agreed almost immediately.
He immediately asked Guo Yun to handle the matter. At the same time, he also issued an order for the large forces of the Zhuguang Army stationed in Jinghe County to start from Jinghe County to Didicui Island.
Now that he has a foothold, what he needs to do now is to grasp the situation on Didui Island as soon as possible, and then when the large forces arrive, launch an offensive here to wipe out all the foreign forces on Didui Island.
Tang Zheng could directly attack here, but according to the situation he currently knows, the foreigners on Didui Island are not weak.
They also have armored vehicles, tanks, and even airplanes. In order to extend their tentacles to the land of Hanyue, those foreign forces spared no effort to build the people on Didui Island with relatively powerful weapons and equipment.
Tang Zheng's local uprising requires a process. Once discovered during this process, it will definitely be attacked by foreign forces, which is likely to lead to failure.
Therefore, the cooperation of a large force is necessary. As long as Tang Zheng can find a way to land the large force on the island, he will be confident.
Tang Zheng's order was passed on, and the Light Chasing Army began to take action.
The scientific research institute began to disassemble the interior of a transport plane, and then made a super large water bag to allow Tangtang to board the plane, which could arrive as soon as tonight.
The 1st and 2nd Field Regiments, the 1st Armored Battalion, the 1st Artillery Battalion, the Directly Affiliated Battalion, and part of the Army Aviation Battalion located in Jinghe River all began to set off from Jinghe River, starting under the starry night, and marching eastward.
The large troops set off from the Jinghe River to the east coast. This process will not be too short. Those tanks and other equipment will need to be transported by heavy trucks. They must also be careful not to be discovered on the way. It should take at least ten days to get here.
This means that Tang Zheng must hide his identity and stay on this island for more than ten days.
After taking care of these things, Tang Zheng felt his stomach growl a little.
Thinking of the cook's cooking skills, Tang Zheng really couldn't bear it.
"I heard from Elena before that there is slave trade in the market on Didui Island. Maybe I should go to the market and at least bring back someone who is a good cook."
Thank you (you came from the clouds to express gratitude)
