Chapter 317 Where is the County Order?
A zombie suddenly fell down in front of Chang Yuan. He had never seen a crossbow penetrate the head and kill it with one shot.
The crossbow hung on the arm naturally sacrifices impact power due to its small size, making it most suitable for sneak attacks in the dark. When coated with drugs, it is more like a modern long-range anesthetic needle for subduing animals.
But zombies are painless monsters, and poison has no effect on them. And as the lightning passed by his ears, he could hear the vibration of the lightning cutting through the air, piercing the zombie's brain and passing through at the speed of wind.
What they didn't notice was that the arrow was firmly lodged in a tree 120 meters away, leaving only a piece of feather.
Later, zombies fell one after another, which reduced a lot of pressure on the guards.
This is not the speed of an ordinary crossbow. There is a kind of crossbow that is more powerful than a bow and arrow and is larger in size because it takes a lot of force to pull the elastic rope, and it needs both hands to pull it together to fire, and the cooldown time is also longer.
"There is a room here. Let's go in and take shelter first."
The guards broke open a courtyard, quickly entered, inserted the bolt, and locked the zombies at the door.
Hearing the sound of zombies banging on the door, the guards breathed a sigh of relief. Human endurance can never match that of the tireless zombies.
Don't be happy too soon, as they look up and find themselves face to face with the zombies in the house.
The zombie shouted excitedly: "Takeout is delivered to my door, I give it five stars!"
This is the heaven-sent pie in the sky for the ancients. How could it not be happy when a bunch of food was delivered to its door?
The distance was so close that Lin Xinhuan had no time to load the arrow.
"Puchi, puff, puff." A dagger flashed past Lin Xinhuan. It was good, just leaving a mark. The owner of the dagger quickly cut it again, and the neck half drooped. He cut it again and the body was separated.
Zhu Linlang panted heavily, her eyes red: "I, huhu, I did it."
He stared at the fallen zombie, as if he wanted to remember this scene forever.
This was her first murder. The Zhu family had produced civil servants for generations, but her father was an exception. He was good at martial arts, knew nothing about poetry or politics, and yet he joined the army.
Maybe it's because of his dull mind that he has such brute strength, that's what Grandpa said.
Seeing that she was interested in martial arts, her father taught her some moves.
It was precisely because of his outstanding military performance and successive promotions that his military power grew. Fearing that this would arouse jealousy, A Zu, the prime minister, submitted his resignation to the emperor and returned home with Zhu Qingyue to prepare for her marriage.
If her elder sister's marriage had not been arranged long ago, the emperor would have been unwilling to let her go. As for Zhu Linlang, the second daughter of the Zhu family, who was not yet of marriageable age, the emperor had expressed his desire to marry her into the royal family many times, but Azu had blocked his request every time.
She never gave up and often took Zhu Linlang into the palace to have emotional exchanges with princes of marriageable age. She was even shameless enough to say that her harem was open to her, without even thinking about the fact that she was older than her father.
Originally, the Zhu family wanted to find a marriage for Zhu Linlang to avoid being involved in the power struggle. However, due to the pressure the emperor put on the major families, no family was willing to marry Zhu Linlang.
At this time, A'zu returned to his tribe, also wanting to inquire about suitable young men from aristocratic families. As long as he could convince the big aristocratic families and unite with the Zhu family, the emperor would not dare to say anything. But Zhu Linlang also knew that if the marriage was not to the emperor's liking, he would always want to cause trouble for the Zhu family.
Their Zhu clan has many members, many of whom serve as officials in the court, so they have to be on guard against the emperor's hidden arrows.
When the zombies fell in front of Zhu Linlang, ambition grew, why didn't it be Emperor Qingxin who fell?
"Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay, miss. My martial arts were taught by my father and brother. How can it be bad?"
Zhu Linlang waved her hands to indicate that she was not hurt at all.
The guards looked at each other: How could the young master and the old master dare to really scold you?
Zhu Linlang also noticed it and secretly shook her numb palms: It seems that I need to practice more, this is obviously not the way to fight against my father and others.
Later they dealt with a few zombies that escaped, not many in number, just enough for Lin Xinhuan and Zhu Linlang to practice.
Zhu Linlang drooled as she looked at the Tang sword that Lin Xinhuan had taken out again: "Look at this blade, this luster, this blade, how sharp it is."
She couldn't bear to see Zhu Lin's silly expression. Weapons? She had plenty of them. She took out a handful from the vast secret warehouse and threw it over: "Take it from your hairpin money. It's all taken."
The Tang sword was specially made for her by the country, using the most advanced materials. It was thin, light, and not easy to break. It was extremely sharp and its price could not be used to measure its value. It was not allowed to circulate in the market at all.
Zhu Linlang was a little worried when she heard this. What would happen to their food? After getting the knife, she just thought: This money is really worth it! She would rather go hungry than buy one!

The Tang sword is as light as a feather, which is very suitable for girls with little strength. The two began to kill each other, and their fighting power soared. The guards suddenly felt pain in their necks.
The zombies that ran out were quickly dealt with.
"So far, no trace of living people has been found. The county city is short of troops. Didn't the governor of Changhe County send troops to support them?"
In modern times, if something happened in a town, nearby military forces would come to support and the scene would be under control within half a day. Even in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, it would take five days for the court and officials to react.
"I don't know where the Qinghe County Magistrate is. Are all the yamen runners dead?"
When danger comes, the importance of the person who gives the orders becomes apparent.
"Xin Huan, that person over there is the magistrate of Qinghe County."
Lin Xinhuan looked at one of the corpses. Uh... he had changed his clothes. I couldn't recognize him. They were very different from the official uniform he wore when Lin Xinhuan was alive.
The house they entered happened to be a government office. The county magistrate did not escape and turned into a zombie.
"It seems that the chances of Qinghe County residents surviving are slim."
With the county magistrate acting like this, how could the common people, who are at the bottom of society, escape?
Lin Xinhuan also discovered a problem. Although Qinghe County is not large in area, the population of the county seat should not be that small. When she shot the arrows, she took the time to look around. The number of zombies was even less than that of a small village. Where did the zombies or people go?
"Don't think about it. Let's cook first. There should be a kitchen in the government office. We can make some delicious dishes and reward ourselves." Lin Xinhuan had digested her lunch long ago after exercising. Recently, her parents were not at home, so she ate whatever she wanted and got hungry quickly.
Also because her parents were not at home, she could stay in the ancient dimension for a few more days.
Lin Xinhuan found the kitchen of the government office, and the guards went to check every room to see if they had missed any zombies.
While she was frying vegetables, Zhu Linlang came in with a wrinkled face. Lin Xinhuan exclaimed: "This dress is really the right one to wear."
With a body that has just developed and secondary sexual characteristics not yet obvious, Zhu Linlang, dressed in men's clothes, looks like a handsome young man.
