After hearing Qi Zhengyang's words, Tang Zheng was stunned.
"The cardinal of the Holy See is from Hanyue?"
"Yes, the original bishop died when the end of the world broke out, and the current bishop is a believer of the Holy See. The general should know that the Holy See knows no borders, and believers from any country can join, so the bishop is from Hanyue. Not surprisingly."
Tang Zheng nodded: "It's not surprising, but it's beyond my expectation."
Qi Zhengyang continued: "Not only is the bishop a Han Yue, but even the saint of the Holy See is also a Han Yue. This time, we were able to contact the Pope and ask him to attend our restoration ceremony. Both the bishop and the saint contributed their efforts. "
This time Tang Zheng was really surprised.
"It's just that the bishop is from Hanyue, but the saint is also from Hanyue. What are their names? Do you have any information?"
"The cardinal's name is Long Yun. He joined the Holy See about seven months ago. As soon as he entered the Holy See, he quickly gained the trust of Pope Alexander and defeated many competitors to become a cardinal. It is said that this matter was quite popular at the time. Sensational, because although believers in the Holy See do not distinguish between national boundaries, this is after all the first Easterner to become a cardinal."
"The saint's name is Tiffany. We only know that he was introduced by Long Yun. We don't know the other information. After all, we haven't restored the network yet. If the network is restored, we can introduce the census system of the Public Security Department. , find their original identities.”
Tang Zheng hummed: "How long will it take for the network to be restored?"
"It is estimated to be around New Year's Day. The specific time is not yet certain."
"Hurry up and check. After all, this is a talent in our country."
After talking about this matter, Tang Zheng asked about the progress in other aspects.
There has also been some progress in the work at the scientific research institute, and several high-tech drawings are almost complete.
However, Guo Yun also said that it will probably be completed after New Year's Day.
He Xue's development of nuclear bombs was also around that time.
Tang Zheng gave instructions and asked everyone to speed up the progress as much as possible. Whether it is Guo Yun's high-tech mapping or He Xue's nuclear bomb, it is related to his future promotion to the army commander.
For example, Guo Yun's map includes a satellite launch center. Without this, satellites cannot be launched and the mission cannot be completed.
The nuclear bomb on He Xue's side is even more critical. Without it, the mission cannot be completed. Now everyone is engaged in an arms race. Whoever can complete this will be able to take the lead.
Tang Zheng checked his upgrade tasks again.
Among the ten tasks, the first one to eliminate zombies was a bit far behind. It required one billion, but he only completed more than one billion.
The second full division is almost completed. There are only a few thousand people left and it can be completed at any time.
The third upgrade has enough funds and this one has been completed.
The fourth task of returning home requires a population of 300 million. Now Tang Zheng already has 100 million. After the restoration of the country, he will also accept the population of Li Wuyou, and by then it will exceed 200 million. There is still a shortfall of tens of millions.
The fifth mission of restoring the country is about to be completed.
The task of opening the sixth border requires the destruction of ten countries. Now Tang Zheng has completed two-tenths of it, because he has already destroyed the Tiger Empire and Orochi, and there are still eight left.
It's just that this mission must include a superpower, which is somewhat difficult.
The seventh sea expansion was completed unknowingly. After occupying Guanmen Island and Transit Island, Tang Zheng already owned an extremely vast sea territory, and this task was completed.
The eighth launch is waiting for Guo Yun’s satellite launch center.
The ninth nuclear tie is waiting for He Xue's nuclear bomb. When the time comes to attack some other countries, this task can be completed together with Kaijiang.
Tang Zheng has completed two-fifths of the last task of eliminating evil and got two rings.
The owners of the remaining rings are unknown, so this is not easy to accomplish.
Tang Zheng looked around carefully and found that it had not been long since he had been upgraded. Several tasks had been completed in a daze, and the upgrade to Army Commander seemed not that far away.
Explain all the things that need to be done during this period, especially the safety issues on Didui Island.
Tang Zheng felt that it was impossible for all countries in the world to wait for death like this, and they would definitely take action.
So this safety issue is definitely a top priority.
When Tang Zheng assigned the task, he was still thinking about how the countries in the world would deal with him.
While he was thinking, Director Ji Yuntian of the Military Intelligence Bureau handed Tang Zheng something.
"General, there is a video here that our Military Intelligence Bureau just obtained at a great cost. I think it should be paid attention to."
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then motioned to Ji Yuntian to play the video.
Soon, the video was played on the conference room screen.
In the video screen, it looks like a small city, at the county level.
Like other cities after the apocalypse, it is desolate and dilapidated, nothing unusual. If there is any difference, it feels like this video is not from a domestic city, but a foreign city.
There seemed to be a camera in one corner that captured the video.
In the video, a team of adventurers is collecting supplies.
Tang Zheng took one look and knew that this team of adventurers was definitely an elite team.
There are ten people in the team, eight of whom are peak level one mutants, and the other two leaders should be level two mutants.
Nowadays, level two mutants are not as valuable as before. Tang Zheng still remembers that when he was in Chasing Light City, level two mutants at that time were very rare.
But more than a year has passed since the end of the world, and the number of second-level mutants has gradually increased. Many elite teams have equipment that can even kill second-level zombies alone.
Everyone has gradually found many ways to deal with second-level zombies. On the one hand, weapons and equipment can also kill second-level zombies if the traps are well used.
So there are more second-level mutants, but they are only more than before, and they have not yet spread to every adventurer team.
This team has two second-level mutants, and they are very powerful. Together, these two second-level mutants can even defeat a second-level zombie.
The team found an abandoned steel factory and were collecting supplies. The place seemed to have just been opened up, and some freshly killed zombies could be seen on the ground.
This kind of place has the most abundant supplies. Not surprisingly, this team will make a fortune.
The result was that something unexpected happened.
Their actions provoked someone.
A foreign mutant appeared in the video screen, and a fight quickly broke out between the two sides.
This foreign man wore a metal mask on his face, his face was completely invisible, and his figure seemed to be ordinary. One versus ten, this battle seemed very unfair.
But as soon as the battle started, Tang Zheng sat up straight.
Because this foreign man instantly killed one of the opponent's second-level mutants with one move!
The second-level mutant originally struck with confidence and his movements were as fast as lightning, but as soon as the two people came into contact, they were killed with one move.
The speed is so fast that you have to slow it down 32 times to see what's going on.
After that, the remaining adventurers collectively shot at the foreign man.
The intense gunfire lasted for about ten seconds and then stopped.
At the end of the video, there is the back of the foreign man leaving, and there is a scene of ten members of the adventurer team lying on the ground dead.
After watching this video, Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
This foreign man's strength is similar to what he is now.
You must know that Tang Zheng is a peak level two double mutant. His strength and agility have reached the limits of a level two mutant. His actual strength should be considered a level three mutant.
And the man in front of him can actually compare with him, which means that the other person is a third-level mutant.
There are already Level 3 mutants in this world.
Tang Zheng immediately asked: "Who is this?"
"General, the identity of this person cannot be determined. We call him Iron Mask. He should be a speed-type third-level mutant."
Tang Zheng nodded: "How much do you know about level three mutants?"
Ji Yuntian hesitated for a moment: "We have only heard part of the news. Apart from Tiemian, it is still uncertain who else has become a third-level mutant. However, it is not easy to cultivate third-level mutants. According to the information we have received, currently There are no more than seven level three mutants in the world."
"No more than seven?"
At this time, Guo Yun suddenly said: "Yes, General, there will not be more than seven. It is difficult to cultivate third-level mutants, and crystals are rare. Our scientific research institute knows that many second-level mutants have failed to upgrade to third level, and even failed. It is death. It is almost impossible for a single adventurer to become a third-level mutant by his own strength. Our scientific research institute has also done this subject. The normal human body cannot withstand the power of a third-level mutation. That power Excessive use will cause the body to collapse. If you want to succeed, it seems that you need a special aid to become a third-level mutant. If it wasn't accidentally captured by a hidden camera, we still can't be sure about this."
Tang Zheng asked again: "It's no more than seven. How did you get this number? What kind of assistance is needed?"
Guo Yun continued: "We got this number accidentally, because we have been doing network recovery these days, and our high-tech computer has been running. Occasionally, we intercepted a message, which probably said that there are only seven There is a quota, and without auxiliary equipment, we cannot cultivate more third-level mutants. We need to proceed with caution and only succeed and not fail."
Tang Zheng was stunned when he heard this.
Only seven places?
Are there any special requirements to become a level three mutant?
Tang Zheng thought for a while and asked Ning Yuwei to play the video again.
This time, Tang Zheng watched the video carefully.
"stop!"
The moment the level three mutant took action, Tang Zheng asked Ning Yuwei to pause the video.
"Zoom in and focus on this iron-faced hand."
The video screen began to be enlarged until the iron-faced hand was clearly visible in front of everyone.
Others didn't quite know what was going on, but Tang Zheng discovered something was different.
Because Tie Mian clearly had a ring on his hand, a basilisk ring.
Tang Zheng lowered his head and took out two rings from the system space.
These are the two he got before, one with the number nine and the other with the number ten.
The last system task for upgrading the commander is called Elimination of Evil, which requires him to kill at least five people and obtain five such rings.
Looking at the iron-faced ring in the video, Tang Zheng didn't think it was a coincidence.
"Are there only seven level three mutants?"
"There should be eight more..."
