MTL - Doomsday Commander-Chapter 291 First time slave

Chapter 291 First hearing about slaves

Tang Zheng didn’t know many people in Sanjiang. Most of the people he knew before had left during the apocalyptic catastrophe.

Moreover, the last days are a huge natural disaster, and it is only meaningful to people who know each other after the natural disaster, because these people are the ones who survived the natural disaster.

And the person Tang Zheng saw now was the person he met after the end of the world.

This man once left a deep impression on him. During his time in Sanjiang, he saw the darkness of human nature after the end of the world, but this man was a shining point in the darkness.

 That was a man he saw in Yida City who saved many people.

This man's name was Meng Zhiliang, and he was the leader of a survival base in Yida City at the time. Tang Zheng has never forgotten the warmth of that base.

Moreover, when Tang Zheng left, he left some guns and bullets for them.

The current police officer, who seems to be the highest official at this checkpoint, was cheered when he came out. This person is Meng Zhiliang.

 Seeing him, Tang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

 No wonder the previous police officer said that the stationmaster here was selfless. Meng Zhiliang was indeed such a person, and Tang Zheng felt much more relieved.

He stopped the car in the distance and shouted to the other side: "Meng Zhiliang."

Meng Zhiliang, who was about to check, suddenly heard a shout. His body suddenly became alert, then he slowly turned around and looked at Tang Zheng with an incredulous expression.

 When he saw Tang Zheng's face, his expression was slightly confused.

At this moment, Tang Zheng was wearing makeup, so it was normal for Meng Zhiliang not to recognize him.

But Tang Zheng still waved: "Old friend, why don't you come over and have a chat?"

Meng Zhiliang became more and more confused, but he still waved his hand to signal the people around him to stop, and he came to Tang Zheng's side alone.

"Who are you?"

Tang Zheng smiled: "Can I trust you now?"

When Tang Zheng was talking, Ji Yuntian and Su Xin were already ready. If this person found out about the general and dared to expose him, they would immediately kill him.

 The worst possible outcome would be to give up the early plan and invade the island by force. This is the worst possible outcome.

However, Meng Zhiliang's eyes lit up at this moment. After careful observation, he found the shadow of the past on Tang Zheng's face.

 “You can trust me.” Meng Zhiliang nodded heavily.

“Then I need an inspection-free pass to go to Ticui Island, can you get it for me?”

Without saying a word, Meng Zhiliang directly called one of his men over, took an inspection exemption certificate from him, signed and stamped it, and handed it to Tang Zheng.

 “Can I ask your last name?”

Tang Zheng's lips showed a smile: "My surname is Tang. I left from here and passed through Yida City."

Meng Zhiliang's eyes showed excitement as he handed the inspection exemption certificate to Tang Zheng: "Can you leave your contact information?"

Tang Zheng asked the correspondent to give Meng Zhiliang’s phone number and left each other’s contact information.

Meng Zhiliang also knows Tang Zheng's identity. After all, this person is still an enemy of Dayan and often appears on TV news. It is impossible for him not to know.

 But he will not expose Tang Zheng. He will always remember his original friendship and help.

Without the guns that Tang Zheng gave them, they wouldn't have been able to get out of Yida City, let alone where they are today.

So he didn't say anything and just shook hands with Tang Zheng: "Sir, I am managing this checkpoint now. If you have any questions, please come to me directly. I will do my best to do whatever I can. To be honest, I don't I like the current Dayan, but I also don’t like Chen Hongchang.”

 The last two sentences he said in a low voice were also very cautious.

Tang Zheng nodded, and the two of them remained silent.

Meng Zhiliang did not exchange too many pleasantries with Tang Zheng, which would attract attention. After giving Tang Zheng the inspection exemption certificate, he got up and left.

Tang Zheng also didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh, things are so unpredictable. Who would have thought that a good deed at the beginning would actually bring rewards today.

There are still many good people in this world, and white-eyed wolves like Liao Yucheng are still in the minority after all.

Taking the pass, Tang Zheng returned to the ship.

 The freighter then started and headed straight for Didui Island.

 Came to the channel at the inspection station again, and when he met the person inspecting him, Tang Zheng showed his inspection exemption certificate, and the ship was released directly.

 After passing this checkpoint, the waterway in front is more open, and Didicui Island is already in sight.

After Haojiang bypasses both sides of Didui Island, it will enter the sea. Standing on the bow of the ship, Tang Zheng can already feel a hint of the salty sea breeze.

In the sky, huge seagulls occasionally fly by. This seagull is also a mutated bird, but the seagulls nearby are often fed by people and generally do not take the initiative to attack people.

 Unless you look very weak and are alone, these seagulls sometimes show their ferocious appearance as mutant birds.

  But there is no way, this is part of the end of the world, completely different from before the end of the world.

 Before the end of the world, there were also incidents of vicious birds attacking people, but now it is just more serious. In the end of the world, you can only adapt to these and learn to protect yourself.

The ship gradually approached Didicui Island, where there are dozens of docks.

There are even broadcasts on the shore and huge fluorescent signboards telling passing ships some precautions.

Every dock here belongs to a country. The foreigners occupying Didicui Island have regarded this place as their territory. Li Wuyou objected to it in the beginning to no avail, and no one could restrain them. Now Han Han The moon fell apart, and this matter has become a fact.

Ships can dock at any dock they choose, but they must pay customs duties. This short waterway is like going abroad.

 After paying taxes, you will be protected by this country. They will ensure that your goods enter the market smoothly, but they will not care about the rest. Your tariffs can only play these roles. Tang Zheng chose the largest dock to dock.

This dock belongs to the Magnolia Empire.

The Magnolia Empire is also the leading power in the world, which can be seen at the dock.

 At the dock, someone guided the ship to dock at a suitable location, and then some people from Magnolia came to collect the fee.

 The leader is a blond woman, about thirty years old, with a good figure.

This time, the woman checked Tang Zheng's cabin.

Shocked by the dense arsenal of weapons inside, this Magnolia woman's attitude towards Tang Zheng actually improved.

  “Sir, you are really a capable man, but we need to inventory the supplies.”

Tang Zheng waved his hand: "You can make a rough estimate based on your experience. I also need to be in a hurry."

“Okay, let me make an estimate. The goods here need to pay about 50 million Singapore dollars in tax.”

 Fifty million new dollars, to Tang Zheng, is only five million light yuan, and Tang Zheng discovered that the price estimated by the tax officer was almost the same.

Tang Zheng paid the tax of SGD 50 million without counter-offering at all, which greatly surprised the tax officer.

"You are really a generous person. You don't have to worry about the next thing. We will send people to help you unload the goods and transport them to the largest trading market on Didui Island. If you need a warehouse, I will We can make the decision and get you a suitable warehouse at a 50% discount. You must know that warehouses in the trade market are very popular now, and many people want to own one of their own there."

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you, ma’am, I will pay the fee in full.”

“OK, nice to meet you sir, my name is Elena, we can leave our contact information.”

Tang Zheng and Elena left their contact information, and Elena continued: "Then you can go to Didui Island first. If you want to live here for a long time, I suggest you buy it here. A house, after all, although the houses here are expensive, it is still easy to buy based on your financial strength."

Tang Zheng nodded, he really needed a house.

The Elena in front of me looks shrewd and should be a suitable guide.

“Miss Elena, I don’t know much about this place. I wonder if you can take me around the island and help me find a suitable house?”

“Well, I’m a little busy here. I wonder how big a house you need?”

Tang Zheng pointed to his ship: "I have a lot of guys here. They may need a bigger house. Well, the bigger the better. Don't worry, you can help me find a suitable one and I will give you a commission."

Hearing this, Elena was moved: "Okay, we can set off now."

 Leave some sailors behind to load and unload cargo, and follow Bai Magnolia's men to the trading market.

Tang Zheng followed Elena out of the border dock of Magnolia and entered the interior of Didui Island.

This island covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers, just like a small continent.

People from dozens of countries live here. Walking on the street, you can see people of all races and skin colors. It feels like you are in a foreign country.

Although almost no one can launch warships yet, ordinary shipping has actually recovered a lot.

  After all, a cargo ship with no technical requirements, even if its appearance is patchy, can go to sea just by changing the equipment. This is very easy for various countries.

 So at the harbor of Didui Island, foreign ships even arrive every day to transport some supplies to their own people.

As long as you avoid the deep sea and move along the shallow sea, shipping by sea is not impossible. However, the voyage distance will generally be doubled and the transportation cost will be greatly increased.

Several Humvees on Tang Zheng's ship drove down, taking Elena, his own guard squad, Ji Yuntian, Han Yang and Wu Di, and drove slowly on the streets of Didui Island.

As he talked with Elena, Tang Zheng gradually learned more about this island.

 All the forces here originate from their consulates.

 These consulates basically have contact with their own countries.

 No matter who is in power in their own country, they all attach great importance to the consulate in Hanyue.

 In order to ensure the right to speak in this land, those countries have given great support to the consulates here.

 They sent ships, transported a lot of advanced weapons, and even sent troops.

 There are also a large number of foreign survivors here. When the apocalypse first broke out, too many foreigners came here, so the population on Didui Island is now very dense.

Even though it is such a big island, there is not much open space. The population of the entire island even exceeds 20 million.

 The large population led to the emergence of a special trade here, that is, the slave trade.

Elena introduced that as long as you have money, you can buy any style of slave here.

Many slaves were actually very talented people before the end of the world. They were proficient in many things, such as cooking, painting, musical instruments, dance, songs, and even opera.

 It’s just that many things that were sought after by people before the end of the world have no use after the end of the world. Many people have no food to eat, and in the end they have to become slaves in order to survive.

For example, in Chasing Light City, there are too few places where there are stages for them to show off in the last days.

Even many foreigners will take the initiative to capture some homeless people, make them slaves, and bring them to the trading market to be sold.

Elena even asked Tang Zheng if he would need to buy a slave after buying a house here. There are many beautiful girls here.

It's just that Tang Zheng has no interest in this. Now he just wants to find a house first.
