My thoughts were interrupted.

Wei He said puzzledly: "Isn't it a good thing that the zombies become weaker?"

The guards remained silent.

It's a good thing, but the inexplicable weakening involves too many uncertainties.

They have only found two young men at the moment, and Commander Qin and the others are nowhere to be seen. If the monster encounters another accident at this time, it will be hard to say whether it is good or bad for them.

Centurion Yan looked serious and bowed, asking for instructions. "I ask the three gentlemen to make a decision as soon as possible: whether to stay here or go to Gaoyi County."

Wei Lang raised his hand and shouted, "I'm going to find my brothers!"

Wei Da looked conflicted, but finally nodded. "My cousins ​​are more important. Once we find them, we'll deal with the Guang'e County issue."

Wei He had no objection.

Captain Yan nodded, then pointed to a dozen civilians tied up with ropes not far away and asked, "I haven't asked Erlang for instructions yet. What should be done with these people?"

Although these people were forced, they were also helping the evil. It is unknown how many people they have captured and how many innocent people have died at the hands of the monsters.

If they had not arrived in time, I'm afraid the two gentlemen would have been in great danger.

And from what Darangjun said, it seems that he plans to wait until he finds the rest of the people before intervening in the affairs of Guang'a County.

In this case, in order to prevent these people from running back and giving away information, according to him, no one should be left alive.

They did not deliberately hide their conversation. After the zombies around them were eliminated, the area was quiet. Even from a distance, the people could still hear it clearly.

The group of people turned pale and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.

"My dear, please spare my life! I will never dare to do that again..."

"Please be kind to me sir..."

"Please be kind to me sir..."

The guards remained unmoved and just waited for Erlangjun's orders.

Wei Lang waved his little fist, "They bullied my cousin, I just saw it!"

The people immediately collapsed to the ground when they heard this. Did he mean to kill them?

Someone knelt on the ground, thinking that they were going to die anyway, and gritted his teeth and said, "Gentlemen, you are willing to save the people of Guang'e County. We are grateful. I know that I have committed a grave sin, so I am willing to stay by County Magistrate Zhou's side and act as your internal support until you lead your troops here..."

He burst into tears as he spoke, "I only ask that you spare the lives of my family!"

The others also came to their senses and cried out, "We are forced to do this for the sake of our families. If we don't find someone to feed that monster, County Magistrate Zhou will use our family members. Please understand!"

"Please understand, gentlemen!"

Wei Da paused, "Are you really willing to go back and act as an insider?"

He thought of the young man who saved their lives. Since he had received a favor from someone, he naturally had to repay it.

Seeing that he was wavering, the dozen or so people nodded quickly, "Yes! After you capture Lord Zhou, we are willing to die. We only ask that you give our family a chance to live."

Centurion Yan was afraid that the men would be deceived. Once these people went back, there would be too many uncertainties.

If County Magistrate Zhou wanted to use the relatives of these people to feed his own son, it is not impossible that these people would confess everything in order to save their lives.

By the time they find the person and return, I'm afraid Guang'a County will have set up a tight net waiting for them.

The risks are simply too great.

He was about to warn.

Two of the common people said, "I swear on my living relatives that as long as you gentlemen return to deal with County Magistrate Zhou, I will never reveal a single word of what happened today. Heaven and earth are my witnesses. Otherwise, my wife, children, and mother will not live in peace!"

The others followed suit.

In this feudal and superstitious era, oaths should not be taken lightly. Swearing an oath is to seek trust, and trust means sincerity. The oath is entrusted to the gods of heaven and earth to witness.

Even ordinary vows should not be made lightly, let alone a solemn vow that involves risking the lives of the entire family.

Centurion Yan immediately stopped talking.

Wei He and Wei Da were also shocked by their solemn oath, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

Wei Da said in a daze: "Okay, then, you help me find a young man wearing tattered gray linen, about twenty years old, very tall. Just make sure he doesn't die before we come back..." If he died, who would he find to repay the favor?

The people remember it silently in their hearts.

The personnel in the garrison are now in chaos. Most of them are not from Guang'a County, and they really don't know the young man described by Langjun.

Centurion Yan added, "Come here every five days and leave a message. If you can't read, use a drawing. I will send someone to check it out."

Everyone nodded quickly.

In this way, the guards finally untied those people and released them all.

Wei Lang pouted, very dissatisfied. He wanted to stand up for his cousin, but why did his brothers let the man go?

Wei He comforted him, "Don't worry, Erlang. We are playing the long game to catch the big fish."

Wei Lang shook his head like a rattle, "No fish. I hate eating fish. It has so many bones."

Wei He: “…”

After a short rest, everyone set off again, pushing a few carts of supplies loaded with wooden oxen and flowing horses.

Just after noon.

It was the time when the sun was at its hottest and everyone was sweating.

But staying here was extremely risky, as they might be discovered by County Magistrate Zhou's men. So everyone had to hurry on under the scorching sun, hoping to reach the border of Guang'a County before dark.

Old rules.

There are several scouts ahead, exploring the way and monitoring nearby movements.

On the official road behind, there were not many zombies along the way.

Wei Da and Wei He followed behind Erlang. The child was jumping happily and it looked like he was playing while walking, but in fact he was walking very fast.

The two brothers had to walk quickly to catch up.
