Doomsday Commander

  Chapter 90 Air Patrol (three shifts, plus five hundred and five monthly tickets)

   The blaster was completed, which made Tang Zheng refreshed once.

  It is really enjoyable to spend more than one million yuan in one go.

  But after enjoying the experience, problems followed.

  The funds are almost zero, and the food reserves are not much.

   Tang Zheng's team had collected supplies from Tailai Town before, and the food reserves were still sufficient for the time being.

  But there is an essential difference between a company and a battalion, and now the food issue must be taken seriously.

  Tang Zheng's troops were not idle either, he immediately ordered several field companies under him to go out immediately to kill zombies and collect supplies in the surrounding villages and towns.

   Tang Zheng himself set his goal on collecting funds.

   During the process of collecting food, the soldiers will also collect some funds, but the amount is not too much for today's battalion size.

  Tang Zheng needs more funds, after all, a tank and an airplane now cost tens of thousands.

   Tang Zheng is ready to find a gold shop.

  In the Hanyue Empire, gold stores are generally found in counties, and some towns also have them, but they are all developed towns located in the coastal areas, such as the towns in West Sichuan, Lianghe, Grassland and Mobei.

  So Tang Zheng could only target the county seat.

   There are two counties within the radar range, namely Qingquan and Colorful Flag.

  Tang Zheng carefully inspected these two counties through the radar.

   There are many jewelry stores in the county, but they are basically located in the prosperous areas in the middle of the county. If you want to go there, you can only attack by force.

  The population of these two counties is more than four to five million, and it will be very difficult to attack by force.

  Of course it doesn’t mean that you can’t play. In the past, you couldn’t play at the same level. Now that you have become a battalion, you can still get down slowly. It’s just that the process is quite long.

  Tang Zheng wanted to search again to see if there was a relatively easy place to fight.

   But there are no other counties within the radar range. If you want to find them, you have to go out and have a look.

   Tang Zheng looked at the transport helicopter on the side, and decided to go out for a trip.

  Anyway, there is a plane, just stroll around and have a look, one day is almost enough.

  After making the decision, Tang Zheng led the team to board the plane.

  The new army aviation company commander, Hu Yuhang, opened the door of the transport plane, put down the ladder, and invited Tang Zheng to board the plane.

  Following Tang Zheng, Ji Yuntian, Ning Yuwei, Guo Yun, Wu Di, He Xue, Lin Feifei, and twenty-four strengthened three-star warriors also set out.

  Tang Zheng's guard squad only had eight soldiers, but company commander Luo Fei still suggested that Tang Zheng should first recruit some elite three-star fighters from the field troops to supplement the guard squad, after all his safety was the most important thing.

   Tang Zheng agreed after thinking about it, and transferred two more squads of fighters to make the guard platoon barely take shape.

  The soldiers in the guard platoon can be said to be all elites. Ji Yuntian and Ning Yuwei are about to be upgraded to two stars.

  After boarding the plane, Tang Zheng was shocked by the spacious cabin.

   There are two rows of forty-six seats in this cabin, and there is also a large cargo compartment, so there is no problem in transporting people and supplies.

   More than thirty people sat in, and it was not crowded at all.

  The crew members invited Tang Zheng to enter the cockpit, where he could better view the ground situation.

   "General, where are we going?" Hu Yuhang asked.

   "Well, let's go to Shuanglin County in the southwest."

   "Okay, let's go then."

  The propeller on the plane started to rotate, and it slowly rose into the sky.

  The huge propeller drives the airflow, and the ground is blown with smoke and dust.

  Tang Zheng was sitting in the plane, and he could see the water ripples on the edge of the pool not far away. Tangtang poked his head out of the water, watching the plane take off into the sky and go away.

  The plane flew out of Chasing Light City and entered the southern plain area.

  The south of the city is a plain with a gentle slope, about five kilometers, and there is a small hill where there is a dense forest area.

  Flying through this forest area, the Fengming River has a turn here and starts to turn towards the southeast.

  The plane flew to the southwest, getting higher and higher.

  When the flight reached a height of about 300 meters, Tang Zheng didn't let the plane continue to rise, because some things could not be seen clearly when flying too high.

   And this height is just within the range of his own portable radar.

  Flying at a semi-low altitude all the way, he was looking down from the cockpit.

  Mountains, rivers, terrain and landforms can be seen in a panoramic view, which is more intuitive than that seen on the radar.

  When passing through some towns, the situation on the ground is also unbearable to look at.

  On those roads, there are still some rickety people walking around, but those are no longer human.

  Even on the radar, Tang Zheng couldn't see a single survivor in those rural towns.

   Instead, it is some wilderness, and occasionally some light spots representing survivors appear.

  Because of the short distance, when Tang Zheng's plane passed by, he could even see those survivors staring blankly at the plane, their faces full of disbelief.

  Some survivors waved their arms and yelled something loudly at the plane.

   "Move faster. It's already September, and the weather is getting cold quickly. If there is no one to rescue these survivors in the wild, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to survive this winter."

  The temperature this year is very abnormal. In previous years, there was still residual heat in September in this area. No matter how bad it is, it will be the time of autumn.

  But this year is different, there are fallen leaves in Zhuguang City today.

   Tang Zheng is almost sure that today's winter will be an unprecedented cold winter in recent years.

   These survivors can still barely survive in the wild, but in winter, if there is no rescue, most of them may not be able to survive.

  The plane did not stop because it encountered some sporadic survivors, and continued to fly according to the established goal.

   At a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, in half an hour, it has already flown out of the radar range of Chasing Light City.

   After flying for another twenty minutes, a county town appeared ahead.

   That is Shuanglin County, a county seat at the northern end of Fengcheng.

   Tang Zheng was in the air, and he could see a bright color in the city.

   That is a river flowing down the Yunshan Mountains, passing through the county town.

   "Lower the altitude a bit, and idling above the county seat."

  The plane lowered to a height of about 200 meters and flew over the county town.

  This height is like looking down from the top of a skyscraper, and the scenery is more clear and intuitive.

   Tang Zheng asked everyone to pay attention to see where the gold shop in this county is located.

   But it is easy to think, but the actual operation is not so simple.

  It is difficult to see the words on the plaque from a high altitude, even with a telescope, it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

   Instead, some zombies spotted the plane and roared into the sky.

   After watching for a while, Tang Zheng felt his eyes sore.

   "I'm so tired, I wish I could find someone to ask."

   At this time, the captain said to Tang Zheng: "General, when we flew over the edge of the county, I saw a small survival base in the urban-rural fringe area, and there are some zombies around, should we go and have a look?"

   "Okay, go over and have a look, find a survivor and ask, it's much faster than our search."

   Tang Zheng didn't report too much hope, after all, the situation in each county is similar.

   If Shuanglin can't find a suitable gold store to start with, he will go back to Qingquan County.

  I can’t eat it for a month, but I can’t eat it for two or three months. I hope this winter will not come too soon.

  The plane turned around and returned to the sky above the urban-rural fringe.

   Soon, Tang Zheng discovered the survival base mentioned by the captain.

  It seems to be a large yard for purchasing grain. There are some machinery inside, drying equipment, scales, conveyors, etc., but most of them should be scrapped.

   There are also several large granaries here, which are considered the most precious things.

  At the gate of the yard, a sentry tower was built, and there were about a hundred people in the yard and the house.

  The protection of this courtyard is not very secure. Thick sandbags have been piled up in front of the original iron gate.

  Outside the sandbag, there were some zombies roaring, and there seemed to be about two or three hundred of them.

  One of the tall armored zombies was also wandering outside the yard, trying to find a gap to enter the yard and enjoy the feast inside.

  And a group of people are guarding inside the wall at this moment, guarding on the sandbags.

  The sandbags were piled up to a height of more than four meters, and it was really not easy for zombies to climb up, but those people did not dare to be careless in the slightest, holding simple weapons and guarding them all the time.

  Their weapons are indeed simple enough. Except for one person holding a double-barreled shotgun in his hand, the remaining long-range weapons are mainly bows and crossbows.

   Moreover, there are not many bows and crossbows, only six or seven. Most of the people are holding self-made spears in their hands.

   Some zombies tried to climb up the pile of sandbags, and these people stabbed them with spears. The crossbows over there rarely fired. As for the shotgun, it was more like a decoration, and they would never shoot easily.

  Everyone's eyes were almost focused on the group of corpses below.

   No one noticed the helicopter passing by in the haze overhead.

   "Hurry up! There are zombies coming up."

   "It's hard to handle. Some zombies were killed, but they became their stepping stones. The height of this sandbag is not enough."

   "What's wrong with that big zombie? It can't move at all. It can't be pierced by crossbow arrows, and it can't penetrate bullets. It can scratch sandbags with one claw. We can't supply sandbags, mainly because of it."

   "It's really impossible to shoot. If you can kill one, it counts as one."

   "No, bullets can't kill the iron armor, and ordinary zombies will be more troublesome if they are killed. We can only take turns to stand firm like this to prevent them from entering the gate. More than 100 of us have spent almost a week. I don't believe they can't be used up."

   "What about the brain? Zombies don't know how to get tired. Although we have more than a hundred people, half of them are old and weak. If we continue, we will not be able to hold on anymore."

  One of the leading mature men sighed: "It's over! If this continues for at most two days, everyone will have no strength to fight against the zombies. As long as the door is broken, everyone will be fed to the zombies."

   "What should I do, Brother Yue? Or let's run away."

"Run? Where can we run to? This world is full of these ghost things, mobile phones can't be used, there is no goal or direction, and we can live until now, not all relying on the food in the yard What do we eat when we run out? Even if we can still run, what about the others? Throw it away?"

   Everyone stopped talking. This was almost a dead end. Even if they could escape, how long could they stay in the wilderness?

   Just when everyone was at a loss and almost desperate, a gust of wind descended from the top of their heads.

   chug chug~~~!

  A huge wind fell, making everyone unstable and unable to open their eyes.

  Everyone reluctantly raised their heads and looked towards the sky.

   That was an unforgettable scene.
