She thought of countless possibilities in an instant.

There is no need for people outside to lie. This is the Wei family’s base camp. Lies will be exposed soon, and the consequences are not something they can bear.

Yuyang County in Youzhou was indeed the place where an uncle of the fourth house worked. It was neither far nor near. It was not impossible to rush back in half a year by entering Yizhou from Youzhou and passing through counties such as Zhongshan and Anping.

What was the reason that caused these people to risk crossing the city late at night?

Before Wei Xiyin could talk to Chu Yu, a group of people ran towards them, interrupting her thoughts.

The people blocking the door quickly moved aside to allow people to enter the wall.

Wei Xiyin hurriedly said, "Send someone to check if they have any wounds."

"Zhang Gouzi!" Liu Acao instantly recognized one of the people and shouted in surprise.

He is now working under Erlangjun, but just now only the girl came out of the fort. The fort's drawbridge was closed and Erlangjun was not there, so the commander ordered them to guard the door.

When Zhang Gouzi heard a familiar voice, he turned his head to look for him. When he saw it was Liu Acao, he excitedly went forward to recognize him.

After all, Liu Acao was still on duty, and the situation outside was very dangerous, so it was not convenient to reminisce. He just greeted him twice and then stood back where he was.

Wei Xiyin thought about it and stopped Zhang Gouzi to ask him some questions.

"Do you know how many people are outside? How many zombies are there?"

Zhang Gouzi looked a little nervous. "My dear girl, there are about 2,000 people. There were so many monsters that we didn't dare to look. We were all busy running for our lives."

Two thousand people?

so much!

It’s almost catching up with the entire population of the fort.

Wei Xiyin immediately realized what was happening and asked, "How many soldiers are there in Yuyang County? Where are the Wei clan members who returned?"

Yamen (yamen soldiers) were the runners of prefectural and county yamen. They were divided into three groups and were typically responsible for duties such as guarding the yamen, arresting people, detaining people, urging them to pay taxes, and releasing them from custody. The number of yamen soldiers varied depending on the size of the county, ranging from a few hundred in a small county to several hundred or even thousands in a large one.

Even if all the yamen soldiers of Yuyang County ran away, there would not be more than two thousand people.

Maybe they met some common people on the road, or other survivors, and came to the fort for refuge.

Zhang Gouzi quickly replied, "We also encountered them halfway and didn't pay attention to the number of yamen soldiers. They heard that Wei's fort was now safe, so they all followed us. It seemed that there were pursuers behind us, and some government officials were leading the charge to break into the city. Seeing this, my fellow villagers and I didn't dare to stay and followed them into the county town."

Wei Xiyin quickly grasped the key point, "Are there pursuers? What's going on?"

Zhang Gouzi felt uneasy and said, "My dear, I don't know either."

When Zhang Gouzi escaped from Yongning County, he ran frantically to shake off the monsters that swarmed behind him. He hid here and there along the way, and it was half a month later when he escaped back home.

The house was in a mess, and his parents and sister were all killed. Zhang Gouzi was heartbroken and wished he could follow them.

Later, he encountered fellow villagers who had been hiding, as well as several elders of his clan, and saw that they were also in grief and despair. Zhang Gouzi felt sorry for them and told them that the Wei family fort was safe and willing to take in survivors.

Only then did everyone see hope and cheer up again.

It was winter and cold, the zombies had grown stronger, and they were short of food and clothing, making it difficult for ordinary people to move forward.

After finally getting through the harsh winter, everyone mustered up the courage to hit the road. However, all the zombies in Yongning County poured into Anping County. There were so many zombies on the road to the fort that the group had to travel very slowly.

After many more people died, they finally arrived near Yongning County, but unexpectedly met another group of living people, about 500 people in total.

Emboldened by the large crowd, they wanted to rush to the fort before dark, but they soon discovered that the village road was blocked by a high wall and there was no way forward.

It was already dark, and it was too dangerous to find a way at night, so they planned to find a safe place to rest for the night, and wait until dawn to find a way to find the way to Wei's Fort.

Who would have thought that after dark, a group of government officials broke into their hiding place.

It would have been fine if only people had arrived, but the government soldiers also brought a lot of zombies with them.

The people were frightened out of their wits by what they saw. Who wouldn't know that zombies at night were extremely powerful? Everyone ran for their lives frantically, and the crowd was immediately dispersed by the monsters.

In a panic, most people subconsciously ran towards the dock.

Someone from the same village in the crowd shouted, "This place is not far from the Wei family's fort. Let's go to the fort and ask for help!"

The group of officials were stunned when they heard this and actually ran after them.

What was even more bizarre was that when they ran to the official road outside the county town, they encountered another large group of people. In the dark night, they could only see human silhouettes running towards them, and it seemed that there was someone chasing them.

Behind the person chasing him was a large group of zombies.

The situation was once in chaos, with people dying from time to time and screams heard all around.

Zhang Gouzi just felt it was magical. After the world changed, he had never seen so many living people. On this day, late at night, they appeared in waves.

Zhang Gouzi and his friends from the same village were the first to run to the city gate. They worked together to kill several zombies, but were still hesitating whether to enter the city. After all, no one knew the current situation in the city.

Unexpectedly, the strangers behind them and the group of yamen soldiers ran past them without a second thought and entered the county town in the blink of an eye. In the distance, a large wave of monsters rushed towards this side.

How could they dare to hesitate? Staying where they were would mean death.

Fortunately, the gate of Yongning County has been open since the city was broken, and most of the zombies ran out of the city, especially on the west side of the city gate. There were very few zombies at the gate. They didn't dare to look back, so they had to follow the group of soldiers who led the way and ran forward desperately.

After hearing this, Wei Xiyin was speechless. "So besides the Yuyang County soldiers, there were three more waves of people coming over. No, four?"

Pursuers?

Where are the pursuers coming from now? They are chasing people without caring about the monsters outside. How deep is the hatred between them?

After talking for a long time, no one said who the Wei family members outside were. It was really frustrating.

Chu Yu sat on top of the six-meter-high wall and commented leisurely, "Interesting."

Wei Xiyin really wanted to complain, you big-headed ghost!

If you have the guts, come down here.

Soon, someone else ran towards the door, this time followed by many zombies.

The zombies were moving extremely fast and were about to catch up with the group of people.

Wei Xiyin rolled her eyes at the wall, pulled out Luoxue, and joined the guards at the door to meet the enemy.

She has made a lot of progress these days. She runs and exercises every day without fail, and has Chang Ying's guidance. Although she cannot compare with Wei Lang's natural talent for martial arts, she has her own moves and her strength has increased a lot.

The whites of the zombie's eyes looked particularly creepy under the firelight. He moved very agilely and arrived outside the door in the blink of an eye.

The guards used their round shields to block the entrance, leaving a small gap in the barricades blocking the door and letting the people in.

Soon, Wei Xiyin and the guards engaged in combat with the rushing zombies.
