Chapter 292: Airdrop a big octopus (third update, 200 monthly votes added)
Elena asked Tang Zheng about his specific requirements for the house. The first condition Tang Zheng said was that it must be close to the sea.
As for Didicui Island, the only place close to the sea is the east coast. The place where Tang Zheng is currently landing is on the west coast. They have to drive across the island.
Walking along the road from west to east, after walking for about an hour, we gradually approached the eastern coast.
Looking from a distance, the sky is still hazy, but this haze has weakened a lot compared to the early days of the end of the world, and even occasionally the blue sky will appear.
Under the sky, the sea no longer looks blue, it seems to be black, with sea wind blowing and waves raging, completely lacking the beauty of the sea-view room in the past.
Tang Zheng and others came to the coastal area and began to look for their favorite house.
Elena is indeed very familiar with this place. She even inquired about the location of the houses for sale here. She walked around and looked around, and the focus of her search was on the seaside villas.
But during the search process, Tang Zheng discovered that the coastal areas here were basically occupied.
There are seaside villas, but they are all located in developed communities.
Many communities were built before the apocalypse and were sea view communities. The villas were clustered one after another, which did not meet Tang Zheng's requirements at all.
When he chooses a house, his first requirement is that it be large.
The bigger the better, because he may have to send troops here.
The second option is to be hidden. There should not be too many neighbors around, otherwise you will be discovered if there is any movement, and you will not be able to give full play to your advantages.
As far as these two requirements are concerned, it is very difficult to complete.
Although many of the houses Irina found were beautiful, Tang Zheng was still not satisfied.
After searching at the beach all morning, he couldn't find anything suitable. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
At noon, I casually ate something outside and continued to search in the afternoon.
Until two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Zheng and his party arrived at the northeast corner of Didui Island.
A villa is on the market.
The homeowner is a Nanzhou native and is said to be their country’s ambassador here.
Elena took Tang Zheng into the villa yard on the pretext of looking at the house.
This is a corner of Didicui Island that protrudes toward the northeast and is deeper into the sea than other places.
This is the mouth of Haojiang River. Standing here, you can see the vast sea to the east, and you can see the wide Haojiang River to the north. You can also see some conditions on the other side.
And there are many reefs on both sides of this corner, which have been washed by the sea for thousands of years and are extremely smooth. The reefs are still very high. The reefs on both sides are distributed along the beach, forming a natural angle.
At the corner, there is a silver-white beach.
When Tang Zheng came here, he felt that the sea wind here was extremely strong, and the waves were coming in waves, washing the beach constantly.
Not far from the beach, there is a villa. Together with the yard and the beach, it covers an area of more than tens of thousands of square meters. This is almost the largest villa yard that can be found on Didui Island.
Moreover, the neighbors of this villa are located farther back than him. Because this corner is deeper into the ocean, the neighbor's position is naturally farther back.
Tang Zheng took a fancy to this place when he saw it.
Just when he was about to negotiate the price with the landlord, Elena spoke.
“Mr. Xiao, there is something wrong with this house.”
Tang Zheng still appeared under the pseudonym Xiao Fan, so Elena called him Mr. Xiao.
Tang Zheng was confused: "What's the problem?"
Elena said sternly: "I guess you already know about the house we looked at today. Villas on the seaside are not easy to sell."
Tang Zheng nodded. It was indeed true. The prices of villas on the beach were not too high, at least a little lower than he had imagined.
Elena continued: "That's because in the ocean, some aquatic animals have grown very big. Even if we are at the beach now, there are often some marine creatures running to the shore, such as ones as big as a pot. Crabs, turtles bigger than tables, etc., these things may attack people, so the safety of beach villas is not very high.”
Tang Zheng nodded. He had known this for a long time, and he also guessed that this was probably the reason why the villa was not too expensive.
"This location is deep into the ocean, with strong wind and waves, and the reef is a natural wind outlet. There will definitely be more marine life coming ashore at high tide, so the safety here is the lowest. I think that Nanzhou The reason why people sell this house is because someone there may have died at the hands of sea creatures, and they are afraid, so they sell this house. You have to think carefully before buying it."
Tang Zheng thought for a while and felt that what Elena said did make sense.
If there are many marine life hidden below the water surface, it will be really disadvantageous for the people who live there.
What he looked at was the concealment here and the large area of the beach. Whether soldiers landed here or sent troops in place, this place was more suitable.
But if someone appears here, it will be a bit troublesome if it attracts marine life.
How to solve the security problem here is very important.
He closed his eyes slightly and began to think of a solution.
“Underwater. Marine life ensures underwater safety.”
“Well! Isn’t this talking about Tangtang!”
Tang Zheng’s eyes suddenly lit up. Tangtang was very frustrated living in the water pool in Zhuguang City. The water pool could no longer accommodate her.
When we went out this time, the river was still frozen, so it was inconvenient for Tangtang to travel, and the destination was undecided, so Tang Zheng didn't take it with him.
If Tangtang can be brought here, with the ability of this big guy, there should be no problem in ensuring the safety of this water area. I believe that no matter how big the average marine life is, they will stay away from this 60-meter giant octopus. .
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng immediately made a decision.
This is it.
He said to Elena: "Don't worry, Miss Elena. I prefer the wind and waves here. Let's go and negotiate the price with the landlord."
Seeing that Tang Zheng insisted on buying it, Elena shrugged and expressed that she had tried her best.
The next step to discuss the price is relatively simple. The homeowner is eager to sell the house and offers a price of NT$30 million.
Tang Zheng counter-offered the price to 15 million. Although this house is good, the houses in the apocalypse are not that valuable at all. That is to say, there are many people here on Didicui Island. In other places, there are houses everywhere. Not even a person, let alone selling money.
After Tang Zheng finished counter-offering, the landlord shook hands with Tang Zheng and said the deal was done.
This made Tang Zheng feel that he had given too much. If he had known, he would have won the prize even if he had given 10 million.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng was not short of money. Fifteen million was only 1.5 million light yuan. He quickly completed the transaction with this person.
The transaction procedures were very simple. Everything was simplified in the last days and it was completed quickly. Tang Zheng became the owner of the villa.
After the transaction was completed and some commissions were given, Elena chose to leave.
Tang Zheng led people into the villa.
The yard is very big, and the house is not particularly big. It is a three-story villa with an underground floor.
The homeowner left after the transaction was completed, leaving nothing in the house behind.
So the furniture here is fully equipped and has everything, and it even looks a bit messy.
Tang Zheng would not take the initiative to clean up these things. He sat down on the sofa on the first floor of the villa and began to contact the Light Chaser City.
He asked Guo Yun to think of a way to transport Tangtang to him first.
Otherwise, if this guy had to swim by himself, it would probably take a month or two before he gets here.
After thinking about it for a while, Guo Yun gave Tang Zheng a way.
That is to use the An-124 large transport aircraft, and the scientific research institute is responsible for making a huge water bag, placing it inside the cabin, and then filling it with water, so that Tangtang can temporarily feel aggrieved and stay in the cabin.
Although Tangtang has a huge body, the octopus is a mollusk and can curl up into the cabin of a large transport aircraft.
Then the transport plane took off from Zhuguang City and flew directly to the island where Tang Zheng was.
You may not be able to find a suitable airport to land here, but that’s okay, just drop Tangtang into the sea.
A person who falls from a high altitude may die in the sea water, but a mollusk like Tangtang will definitely be fine.
Then the plane will not stop and just return directly to Light Chaser City.
Hearing this plan, Tang Zheng agreed almost immediately.
He immediately asked Guo Yun to handle the matter. At the same time, he also issued an order for the large troops of the Zhuguang Army stationed in Jinghe County to start from Jinghe County to Didicui Island.
Now that he has a foothold, what he needs to do now is to grasp the situation on Didui Island as soon as possible, and then when the large force arrives, launch an offensive here to wipe out all foreign forces on Didui Island.
Tang Zheng can directly attack here, but according to the situation he currently knows, the foreigners on Didui Island are not weak.
They also have armored vehicles, tanks, and even airplanes. In order to extend their tentacles to the territory of Hanyue, those foreign forces spared no effort to build the people on Didui Island with relatively powerful weapons and equipment.
Tang Zheng's local uprising requires a process. Once discovered during this process, it will definitely be attacked by foreign forces, which is likely to lead to failure.
So there must be the cooperation of a large force. As long as Tang Zheng can find a way to get the large force to land on the island, he will be confident.
Tang Zheng's order was passed on, and the Light Chasing Army began to take action.
The scientific research institute began to disassemble the interior of a transport plane, and then made a super large water bag to put Tangtang on the plane, which could arrive as soon as tonight.
The 1st and 2nd Field Regiments, the 1st Armored Battalion, the 1st Artillery Battalion, the Direct Battalion, and part of the Army Aviation Battalion located in Jinghe River all began to set off from Jinghe River, starting under the starry night, and marching eastward.
The large troops set off from the Jinghe River to the east coast. This process will not be too short. Those tanks and other equipment need to be transported by heavy trucks. They must also be careful not to be discovered on the way. It should take at least ten days to get here.
This means that Tang Zheng must still hide his identity and stay on this island for more than ten days.
After finishing these things, Tang Zheng felt his stomach growl a little.
Thinking of the cook's cooking skills, Tang Zheng really couldn't bear it.
“I heard from Elena before that there is slave trade in the market on Didui Island. Maybe I should go to the market and at least bring back someone who is a good cook.”
Thanks (you come from the cloud to express gratitude)
