MTL - Doomsday Commander

  Chapter 4 The First Conscript

   Tang Zheng already had a plan in his mind. He planned to go back to his hometown in western Sichuan to find his parents first, and then go to Fengcheng, which is 700 kilometers away from his hometown, to save his sister.

  Before without this arsenal, Tang Zheng's plan could only be a castle in the air, but now it is different.

  He wants to strive to have a certain amount of strength in a short period of time, at least to be able to leave the city.

  Of course, it is definitely not an easy task to leave the city.

  The Hanyue Empire is a big country with a population of 12 billion, accounting for one-ninth of the total population of Blue Bay Star in the world.

  The Sanjiang City where Tang Zheng lives is located in the middle east of the empire, and it is a second-tier city with a population of 170 million.

  According to the situation in the news and the analysis of the situation he saw, at least 90% or even 95% of the people in the entire Sanjiang City have been infected into zombies.

  Under such circumstances, it is no longer necessary to count on the empire's rescue for the time being. He must leave with his own strength.

  Before leaving the city, he must first leave the community.

   It was not easy to leave the community. He looked upstairs and saw that there were more than 20 zombies wandering in the courtyard of the community. Going out now is to die.

  The first thing he has to do is to collect supplies in his unit.

  The materials are mainly food and funds.

  Although he can eat more, he doesn't need too much food alone. After all, he doesn't plan to live here for a long time.

  The main thing is funds. The neighbors upstairs and downstairs almost all know the population composition.

  If there are women in the family, there will be more or less jewelry, but not too much.

  The real large amount of precious metals and gems are basically concentrated in silver buildings and gold stores, or in bank vaults.

  Standing upstairs and looking into the distance, their place is basically regarded as a slum in the city, and there are no gold shops here at all.

  The nearest gold store here is also seventeen or eighteen kilometers away, and they are all in the core area of ​​the downtown area.

   In a city with a population of 170 million, it is unimaginable how many zombies there are in the downtown area, at least the current Tang Zheng has absolutely no strength to get there.

  Even if there are a few banks nearby, they are all small savings offices or cash machines, and none of them carry out the business of buying and exchanging gold.

  The big banks are located in the prime locations of the city. Like gold shops, there are countless zombies around.

  So these two places are temporarily unreachable for him.

  He can only make ideas around the neighborhood.

  First of all, let’s get rid of the zombies in the corridor first, so that there is a safe environment for going up and down the stairs.

   At this time, there was no movement outside the door. Tang Zheng listened carefully and felt that there were no zombies at the door, so he gently pushed the door open again.

  The sound of footsteps was still downstairs.

   Tang Zheng thought for a while, dragged the female zombie's body out of the room, and placed it in front of the stairs, making it an obstacle.

   Then he coughed.

   There was another roar from downstairs, and two zombies came up.

  Standing on the stairwell, Tang Zheng held the gun in both hands, waiting quietly.

  Two zombies appeared one after the other.

  Tang Zheng held his breath, and cut off the fire on the male zombie!

   Bang~~~!

  The muffled gunshots were extremely loud in the corridor, seven or eight steps away, even though Tang Zheng had no military training, he still hit the zombie's jaw with one shot!

   One shot pierced the zombie's chin, and blood splattered!

  The zombie was thrown back by the inertial belt of the bullet, and fell down the corridor.

   But it didn't die, howled and got up again.

   "No, the hand is shaking a little, and no shot hit the brain, so it didn't kill it."

   Already killed a zombie once, Tang Zheng was no longer so afraid. The second time, he closed one eye, aimed the sight at the forehead of the male zombie, and fired again!

   Bang~~~!

  A puff of blue smoke came out, and the revolver turned a bit. This shot just pierced the zombie's forehead.

  The male zombie who just got up, the scarlet light in his eyes disappeared instantly, and fell to the ground dead.

  The middle-aged female zombie behind it was blocked for a while, and its speed slowed down a bit.

  Tang Zheng fired in one go, aiming and firing!

   At a distance of a few meters, another shot hit.

  He aimed at the center of the eyebrow, but hit the eye socket, but the effect was the same, one shot knocked down the zombie.

   "Huh! The marksmanship is too bad, thanks to the close distance in the corridor, if it is more than ten meters, or twenty meters away, I am afraid that my accuracy will plummet."

   "However, bullets can be purchased. If you practice more in the future, you should be able to improve."

   After killing two zombies, the ears were still buzzing from the shock.

  And as the gunshots sounded, there were many residents beating on the door in the corridor.

  Accompanied by the sound of slapping and roaring, it was all zombies roaring indoors.

   But the zombies couldn't get out, Tang Zheng didn't care about their impotent rage, first collected the middle-aged women's rings and necklaces.

   11 gold rings, 14 gold necklaces, a total of 25 gold.

  Before there was still 5 gold left, Tang Zheng thought about it, and instead of buying a saber, he bought a police battering hammer.

   Occasionally there are such scenes in movies and TV dramas, that is, the police kick open the door to rescue the hostages or something, but those are movies and TV dramas, and the real breaking of the door is not that simple.

  This battering hammer is like a small ancient battering ram, holding the handle with both hands, with the inertia generated by the powerful impact force, it destroys the lock cylinder of the anti-theft door and achieves the effect of opening the door.

  Tang Zheng's method is very simple. If there are zombies howling in the room, he will not touch them for the time being. Those in the room where no one is moving are his targets.

  First of all, there is a couple in their thirties living opposite him.

   Now there is no movement at the opposite door, it should be that the husband and wife are not at home.

   Coming to the door, Tang Zheng muttered a few words.

   "This kind of behavior is not good, but now is the end of the world, and many things can't be too fussy. If you are still alive, gold and the like are useless to you. I am willing to give you material compensation."

   As he spoke, Tang Zheng picked up a 40-jin hammer and slammed into it.

   There was a bang, the anti-theft door vibrated, and the lock was broken.

   Tang Zheng swung the battering hammer again, and hit it for the second time!

   Not open!

the third time! the fourth time!

   At the fifth time, there was a click and the door lock fell off.

   Tang Zheng exhaled a long breath, this kind of impact with all his strength is really tiring.

   "When I collect 100 gold, I must buy a conscript. It will be inconvenient for me to do anything alone."

  Open the door, the room is really empty.

   Tang Zheng walked into the room and began to look for gold and silver jewelry.

   Fifteen minutes later, he had a harvest.

  In a clothes pocket of the closet, I found a gold bracelet and a gold necklace.

  Gold bracelet 38 gold, necklace 16 gold.

  Accumulated 54 golds, plus the previous 25 golds, Tang Zheng already has 79 golds.

  The harvest this time lifted Tang Zheng's spirits, and the goal of one hundred gold is not far away.

  But the next action was not so smooth.

  There is no elevator in this unit building. There are seven floors and fourteen households in total.

  Excluding Tang Zheng, there are still thirteen households, of which there are no zombies, only seven households.

  This also includes the home of middle-aged women upstairs and the home of young lovers downstairs.

  Five households, Tang Zheng found jewelry three times, and killed the middle-aged female zombie, and only got 160 gold in total.

   It was thanks to the fact that he got a diamond ring and a gold bracelet again in the last house, which made it more than 100.

   "For the time being, I can only get so much. If I want to get jewelry, I have to open the doors of those houses with zombies."

   "However, I finally collected a hundred gold, and I can finally buy conscripts."

   Sitting down on the sofa of the last family, Tang Zheng opened the system page and purchased a conscript.

   "The purchase was successful. After one minute, the conscripts will appear."

   The purchase of mobilized soldiers has a progress, the 60-second countdown has started, and Tang Zheng has 60 funds remaining.

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Zheng asked Mengmeng.

   "Mengmeng, will the conscripts listen to me completely?"

   "General, please rest assured that this system was created by you. All soldier units have infinite loyalty to you, and your will is above all else."

  Hearing this, Tang Zheng felt relieved, and was full of infinite longing for the future.

   When 60 seconds expired, the bedroom door of this family opened, and a young man came out.

   "Mobilize Luo Fei, report to the general!"

   This is a capable young man who looks to be in his early twenties, close to 1.8 meters tall, wearing a dark green vest and a pair of black trousers.

  The whole person does not look fat, but his muscles are thickened, and he saluted Tang Zheng as a military salute.

   Tang Zheng looked at this young man who looked like a little leopard, his eyes lit up.

  He returned a military salute almost instinctively, and then said, "Tell me about your situation."

"Report to the general, although our conscripts can't be regarded as formal soldiers, they have all received basic military training. We have trained in grappling, long-distance running, and shooting. In unarmed combat, compared with ordinary people, they can probably fight two times at a time. First, marksmanship is not considered proficient, but with continuous combat shooting, our marksmanship will also improve steadily."

   Tang Zheng asked again: "Then what do you need?"

"Report to the general, our mobilized soldiers only have combat skills. We need you to provide our guns, equipment, etc., and it is best for us to provide our food. Our appetite is directly proportional to our combat effectiveness. Mobilization Bing is roughly equivalent to the food intake of two ordinary adult men."

   Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly in his heart.

  He was thinking just now that he can't eat much by himself, but now there is one more person who can eat.

  It seems that with the expansion of the team in the future, the demand for food will also be a big problem.

  But the most important thing right now is to equip Luo Fei with weapons and equipment to immediately form a fighting force.

   There is another update today.
