MTL - Doomsday Commander-Chapter 290 Checkpoint acquaintance

 Chapter 290 An acquaintance at the checkpoint

The ship just entered the bulk province and its speed suddenly slowed down.

The correspondent came over and reported: "General, there is Dayan's border water checkpoint ahead."

Tang Zheng nodded. There was no problem with his current identity, but after sailing in the last days for so long, this was the first time he encountered inspection, which was quite novel.

When I came to the deck, I saw a half-new marine police boat on the water in front of me, coming to the side of the cargo ship.

“We are Dayan border water security guards, and the ships are stopped for inspection.”

The freighter slowly stopped, and the officers and soldiers on board were on alert. As long as Tang Zheng gave the order, they would launch an attack and sink the inspection ship.

Of course, Tang Zheng would not choose to take action at this time. He came here in a low-key manner and initially aimed at settling down smoothly.

In order to signal everyone to be calm, Tang Zheng stopped the ship, then lowered the sampan to allow the other party to board the ship.

More than a dozen water security officers came to Tang Zheng's boat. One of the leaders said arrogantly: "Who is the captain?"

Tang Zheng walked over: "I am the captain."

“Take out your identity documents. Where did this ship come from and where is it going? What is on the ship and what it is doing must be registered.”

Tang Zheng handed over the documents and then said: "We came from Lianghe Province and planned to go to Didui Island. The things on the boat are weapons."

 “Weapons? Ordnance?”

 “That’s right.”

  Han Yue originally allowed private ownership of weapons. After the end of the world, arms became a legal trade. For a long time, no one controlled it at all.

Later, when Tang Zheng's Zhuguang City system was improved, there was some management of arms, but it was only limited to the city, and there was no management of arms at all in the wild.

 So Tang Zheng chose to come as an arms dealer as a disguise.

Before he could do it, the leader immediately stared: "Arms are now contraband in Dayan. We need to confiscate them all. Open the cabin and let me see how many arms there are?"

Tang Zheng said hurriedly: "Sir, why are arms still banned? And I'm selling to Didui Island. I'm just passing by the river here, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"What nonsense? If I say no, I can't. Now is different from before. Dayan has been a country. Don't use the same thing as Han Yue in the past. Open the cabin quickly."

Tang Zheng moved his eyes and directly signaled the correspondent in the distance to bring him a box.

 Opening the box, Tang Zheng took out some new coins.

His sincerity was not small, he took 500,000 new coins and handed it to the other party: "Sir, we are all trying to make a living in this world, so it is convenient."

The leader took the new coins, but did not let go much: "What are you doing? Do you want to bribe me? We have dozens of brothers here who eat with me, and I won't accept your behavior."

Even though he said this, he did not let go of his hand, and his eyes looked into the box in Tang Zheng's hand from time to time.

Tang Zheng's box contained one million new coins, which he used for emergencies. Looking at the greedy water magistrate, he took out the remaining five hundred thousand new coins.

 “Invite brothers to tea.”

This person took it again, even if he couldn't take it off, he handed it to others to hold, and said: "No, no, this kind of thing is too risky. If I let you pass, I might lose my head. You can’t make money.”

Tang Zheng's face also turned cold. He took something out of his pocket and took out twenty pieces of light yuan with a face value of one thousand, stuffed it into the opponent's hand, and at the same time put one hand on the Desert Eagle on his waist. : "Sir, we are new here, and we really don't know the rules of Dayan, but my brothers also need to eat. If things get to the point where there is no profit, we people may have to take risks. We don't want to do that. Harmony brings wealth, don't you think?"

While speaking, Tang Zheng showed off his aura as a top mutant, and the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became tense.

The greedy Sheriff on the opposite side certainly felt it, and he was suddenly afraid.

These arms dealers are all taking lives to make money. In the wild, it can be said that everyone kills people, and things that happen to them often happen to them.

Although he is greedy, he does not dare to go too far.

He accepted the twenty Guangyuan with a smile on his face, "Brother, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it is right to make money by being friendly. Oh, this Guangyuan is a good thing. Unfortunately, it is banned from circulation now, but there are still many people who recognize it on the black market. I accept this offer."

 After taking the money, his tone finally relaxed.

"Brother, you are on the right track. Your boat can go there, but I still advise you not to go directly to Didui Island, because there is a checkpoint there, and arms are indeed contraband here. You are here. You can't get through there, the checkpoint chief over there is a weirdo, he's so selfless these days, he won't take any money, it's too difficult to be accommodating to him, and I'm really taking the risk with you."

Hearing this, Tang Zheng also took back his momentum: "Oh, what should we do safely?"

"There is a way to do this. The first is to find an acquaintance in Dayan to help you apply for an inspection-free certificate, so that your ship can enter and exit freely. But with the director of the inspection station here, I guess you won't be able to do it. Yes. But there is a second way. Don’t you want to go to Didui Island? Find buyers from Didui Island and ask them to pick you up. As long as foreigners there come forward and use diplomatic channels, things will be fine. It’s easy to handle, then the stationmaster can’t control foreigners, but I’m afraid the price of your goods will be discounted by then.”

Tang Zheng smiled and nodded: "Oh, that's easy to handle. I still have some connections there."

Hearing Tang Zheng's assurance, the Sheriff was relieved and said goodbye to Tang Zheng with a smile. He took the people off the ship without even opening the cabin for inspection.

Tang Zheng watched their ship leave, and his own ship started and left this section of water.

"It's really a place where geese pluck their feathers. If it weren't for the advantage of its geographical location, this place would be destroyed soon." Beside Tang Zheng, Ji Yuntian walked over: "General, I think such a person is suitable Be my informant.”

Tang Zheng also nodded: "In the future, you should also pay attention to developing your informants here. The forces of dozens of countries on Didui Island are entrenched there. The situation is complicated. If we want to gain a foothold, we need to master a lot of information. intelligence."

“Understood, otherwise why would I follow the general here? This is our opportunity for the Military Intelligence Agency to step out of the Northern Territory and become famous all over the world.”

Tang Zheng's boat continued to drift on the water for two days, and finally approached Sanjiang City.

Sanjiang City has not been recaptured yet. Tang Zheng's ship was sailing on the Bailong River, and he could still see the scene when he left.

Especially when passing by a riverside park, he even saw the road where he and a few mobilization soldiers drove a motorcycle and rushed over.

There was also the riverside park. It was the first time he encountered an agile zombie here. The situation at that time was very dangerous.

More than half a year has passed, and now I look over and see that there are still zombies wandering in that riverside park.

Seeing Tang Zheng and the others passing by, there were still zombies roaring by the water. Some pot-bellied zombies tried to spray water arrows here, but the distance was too far and they still couldn't reach them.

“The efficiency of people like Chen Hongchang is too poor. This place is located on the edge of Sanjiang City and has not yet begun to recover. If this continues, in another year and a half, this place will probably still be like this."

If Tang Zheng disembarks from here and buys a group of soldiers with his current strength, he can even return to the rental house where he originally lived.

 But that has no meaning anymore, it is not my home, there is no need to revisit the old place.

The freighter traveled for most of the day and passed through the urban area of ​​Sanjiang. After passing the urban area, the waterway suddenly widened. This is the waterway where the Bailongjiang River enters the Haojiang River.

As the largest river in the Han Dynasty, Haojiang has an extremely wide waterway and can pass warships without any problems.

At this point, many larger red light spots even appeared on Tang Zheng's radar screen, which were mutant fish underwater.

Because the boat is big, the mutated fish in the water can't do anything to his boat, so the journey here is uneventful.

But after entering Haojiang River, Tang Zheng found that the red light spots had become much larger. Even standing on the boat, he could occasionally see some huge black shadows swimming underwater.

But this is still in the river after all, and the ship is big enough, so temporary safety is guaranteed.

 And when we arrived at this waterway, the shadows of some other ships gradually appeared.

 Looking at the course of the ships, many of them are going to and from Didui Island.

Although the number of ships is far less than before the end of the world, it is already much more prosperous compared to the wilderness over there in Light Chaser City.

This place is less than a hundred kilometers away from Didui Island. Looking left and right from the ship, you can see the suburbs of Sanjiang City to the north and the huge Zhonghai City to the south.

 There are big cities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, so the number of zombies is simply not too many.

When the boat is driving on the water, what is heard is not the unstoppable cries of apes on both sides of the bank, but the unstoppable roar of corpses on both sides.

 At this point, Tang Zheng was also a little worried.

His shipload of arms, many of which were captured by him, and which were not sold out in the Northern Territory, could just as well be sold here.

Captured materials cannot be stored in the system space and can only be placed on the ship.

 But as the previous inspector said, arms are prohibited here and cannot pass the checkpoint.

Tang Zheng has no acquaintances on Didui Island, so it is not possible to find those foreigners for the time being.

 So Tang Zheng decided to dock the boat on the shore first and go to the checkpoint in the distance to check the situation.

If there is really no other way, he can only adopt a stupid method, buy a vehicle on the shore, unload the munitions and load the vehicle, take the land, and then go over with an empty ship, and then load the ship after passing the checkpoint.

However, this method is risky. After all, the number of people here has increased, so it is best not to use it if possible.

With the idea of ​​​​trying his luck, Tang Zheng temporarily docked the ship, then disembarked and landed. A jeep drove off the ship. He and several guards got in the car and went straight to the checkpoint in front.

 At the checkpoint entering Didicui Island from Dayan, a small market town has been formed here. Many boatmen will go ashore here to rest and have something to eat.

Tang Zheng originally wanted to see if there was anyone here who could apply for an inspection-free certificate, but after walking around, he found nothing.

This checkpoint is really strictly managed, and no one can see those scalpers applying for certificates.

Tang Zheng was a little disappointed, so he planned to return to the ship and do some private work during the night.

 But just as he was leaving, he saw a magistrate appear.

The Sheriff led a group of people, as if they were going to inspect the ship.

Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the Sheriff's face.

 This is actually an acquaintance!
