Before the villagers could figure out what was going on.

Another twenty soldiers came down from the wall and pushed the iron cage to the outside of the gate.

The guards worked in perfect harmony with each other and moved swiftly, pushing the iron cage straight into the house.

A strong smell of blood hit them in the face. The guards took out their masks and put them on. They checked their equipment again, opened the iron cage, and aimed the opening at the zombies inside.

Only then did the people outside realize that they were actually coming for the county magistrate's son!

“No!”

Some villagers, regardless of the danger, rushed forward to stop them, saying, "If the county magistrate's son disappears, he will definitely feed my wife and children to the monsters. You are trying to kill me!"

Someone started talking, and the others couldn't sit still. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

What's the point of catching a monster?

They were forced to stay in Zaoyao Village for guarding. The county magistrate's son was useless to others, but to them, it was related to the lives of their entire family.

"We are from the Dragon and Tiger Stronghold of Crow Mountain, and we have been entrusted with rescuing the people of Zaoyao Village." Chang Ying replied without hesitation, "County Magistrate Zhou is a ruthless and cruel person. This monster is clearly different from ordinary people. Our leader has ordered it to be taken away for research."

When you are out, you need to keep a low profile.

If you really can't keep a low profile, then change your name to be more high-profile.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Of course, everyone knew about Crow Mountain. When did this mountain stronghold appear?

Entrusted, entrusted by whom?

The three young men reacted immediately and were filled with joy. It turned out that the gentlemen sent people to rescue them.

Others had worried expressions on their faces, expressing their deep distrust of them. "That's easy to say, but our families are still in Magistrate Zhou's care. If anything happens to the Magistrate's son, none of them will survive."

Chang Ying glanced at the man and said, "Who can you blame if you can't survive? You are too weak to protect your family. Our boss is kind-hearted and willing to help your family. If you are not willing, we will leave later."

The villagers huddled together and dared not say a word.

These people were well-equipped and well-trained in their movements. It was obvious that they all knew martial arts. It was impossible to stop them. They were afraid of angering this group of people again, so they took the county magistrate's son away and left them alone.

The guard who entered the house did not stop and was making a final check on the cage and wooden fence.

You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.

The wooden bars, as thick as a bowl, had already begun to loosen. When the zombies saw so many people, they opened their bloody mouths and pounced on the guards again and again. The whole cage shook and clanged with their movements. It was obvious that they could not hold on for much longer.

The guards exchanged a solemn glance. There were still zombies with such strength nowadays...

The group did not dare to delay any longer. After checking the sturdiness of the iron cage, they prepared to open the wooden gate and transfer the zombies into the cage.

Chang Ying stopped at the door. Seeing that everything was going smoothly, he glanced at the villagers outside one by one and asked, "Is the person who placed the cloth under the tree here?"

The two villagers behind the young man weakly raised their hands, "It's us..."

Chang Ying nodded and said, "We have received the contents of the banner. The gentlemen will return to the village early this morning. You will follow us first."

The two were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

The young man clenched the cloth in his hand and asked, "Can I go with you to rescue people?"

"My sister is still in the hands of County Magistrate Zhou..."

Chang Ying shook his head, "No need, someone has already gone there."

Mr. Chu has arranged everything, even the retreat routes of County Magistrate Zhou and others have been calculated. A tight net has been laid over there, just waiting to capture the Heavenly Master alive.

The other end.

County Magistrate Zhou, protected by several servants and yamen soldiers, was the first to escape.

The Heavenly Master naturally followed closely behind him.

They came out of Zaoyao Village and took secluded paths, heading west, trying to enter Tangyang County to avoid the zombie tide behind them.

Halfway through the journey, County Magistrate Zhou remembered his only son who was imprisoned at the end of the village.

He asked Chen Dutou beside him anxiously: "If we all retreat, what will happen to Dalang..."

Chen Dutou nodded and replied, "Don't worry, sir. We have already sent people to guard there. The county magistrate's son will be fine." But in his heart he was complaining that they were all the same species. Those monsters outside didn't look as powerful as the county magistrate's son. What else could he do?

County Magistrate Zhou felt relieved upon hearing this. The Taoist priest said that it would take another ten days to recover, and no accidents could happen at this time.

The Taoist priest following behind him showed no emotion, but in his heart he scoffed at what County Magistrate Zhou did. If he really cared about his son, the County Magistrate would not have turned into a monster. He was just afraid that he would have no descendants.

Those who escaped from Zaoyao Village quickly caught up.

The villagers' relatives were tied up with thick ropes and left at the back. Most of them had not eaten a full meal for several days and were relying on the little wild vegetables to stay alive. They had no strength in their bodies and were almost dragged away by the yamen soldiers who were holding the ropes.

The yamen soldier quickly felt exhausted, drew his sword and stood aside, kicking a weak old lady, cursing, "Fuck you, keep up. Anyone who dares to slack off will be left behind to feed those monsters."

The little girl was standing behind the aunt. She lost her balance and was pushed to the ground by the sudden force.

The road was narrow, with hard ridges on both sides, and the little girl fell directly under the ridge. She was also obedient and knew not to worry her brother, so she said nothing, endured the hunger and pain, and climbed up from the ground by herself.

The old lady couldn't get up for a long time.

No one around him dared to meddle, not even the little girl, for fear of causing trouble for her brother.

The yamen soldiers were about to step forward to teach him a lesson when they heard a cry of surprise from the front.

He turned his head and looked.

Suddenly, several wooden oxen and flowing horses appeared on the small road ahead. The carts were full of food and water, as well as some strangely shaped equipment, blocking the road they needed to pass.

County Magistrate Zhou stared with his eyes wide open. The bags facing them were not sealed, and he could see at a glance that they contained prepared wheat cakes. The sacks on the carts were also loose, and one could vaguely see that they were carts of wheat.

It’s wheat…

I haven't eaten wheat for a long time since the disaster.

The fields outside had long been abandoned, and most of the food that could be found were wild vegetables and fruits. As a county magistrate, he naturally had better food and drink than his subordinates, but he had not eaten wheat porridge or wheat cakes for a long time.

Thinking of this, the people in front of them were drooling and swallowed unconsciously.

County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand and said, "The sudden appearance of food in Guang'e County must be a blessing from heaven. Go and take all of this away."

What he didn't say out loud was that everything that appeared in Guang'a County naturally belonged to him.

Let’s see who dares to snatch it from him.

Chen Dutou was waiting for him to say this, and immediately rushed to the grain cart with a few people, wanting to take the supplies on the cart for himself.

"Sister! There's a thief trying to steal our things!"

Just as he finished speaking, three figures suddenly appeared beside the grain cart in front.
