Chapter 374 Give You an Empty City
The five people looked at each other in surprise: "So that's how it is!"
My cousin showed us their uniforms, warm down jackets, down pants, military coats and gloves, tents and sleeping bags for marching, and ribs, noodles, rice, flour, pork belly, bacon, canned food...
"You don't have to carry things on your back. There are special carts that are powered by electricity and can be pulled with just a little effort."
This is nothing. There is a huge tank parked in Zhujiazhuang that can flatten the city wall. He was stunned when he saw it for the first time. It was as tall as a house. It killed countless zombies as it drove past.
However, King Zhu said that the key weapons will not be used until the most critical moment, so there is no need to reveal these to these silly guys, as they are not from Zhu Family Manor.
In fact, the cost of using a tank once is too high, and Zhu Linlang is short of money. The tank completely empties all her crystal cores, and it is too powerful. She will not use it easily unless it is the last moment.
The five people opened their mouths wide. My god, King Zhu really has the support of the gods! They rushed to talk about the current situation in Tunan County.
Zhu Shanyuan held the green hot water bottle and nodded to show that he understood: "In that case, let's try to remove the firewood from under the cauldron."
I couldn't help but feel proud: "Leading troops is not as tiring as my second brother said. I do have a talent for leading troops. When I return this time, I will let my father praise me."
I crawled into the green sleeping bag again, feeling warm and comfortable.
In a cave, Zhu Jiajun was shivering from the cold, and a man with a frown hugged his wife: "The weather is getting colder and colder, we have to hurry up. I wonder what the situation is like in Zhujiazhuang."
"Dad, if we go back, there will be no turning back."
The men were caught in a struggle. In name, they, the Zhu family army, were soldiers of the imperial court.
"Let's go back to Zhujiazhuang first. If the emperor comes to blame, I will bear the responsibility alone." Emperor Qingxin, you forced me to do this. After all, the Zhu family blocked the Qing family's way.
In Tunan County.
The county magistrate touched the girl's skin, obviously dissatisfied, and pinched it hard, causing her skin to turn red immediately.
The girl felt the pain but didn't dare to make a sound. Her expression became even more coquettish: "Master, it's because I didn't eat well. Look, my skin is rough~"
"How dare you deduct my share of the treasure! Drag them away and feed them to the zombies!"
"Master, please spare my life! We have found all the food in the surrounding villages, and we can't get any food at the city gate."
"Now that you have finished searching nearby, won't you go somewhere further away? If you have nothing to eat, die. Give the order to increase the commission on food entering the city. Wouldn't that give us enough food?"
"But...what if we force them away?"
"Hahahaha, leave? If they want to leave, just leave. Don't stop them. In the end, they will cry and beg me to take them in. As long as they want to live, they have to find food for me."
The county magistrate now feels that he is the master of the world. Emperor Qingxin must have died a long time ago, otherwise why is there no news at all? But it's good this way, let me also have a taste of being an emperor.
The yamen runners below noticed that more and more people were leaving the city. Some wanted to say something, but were stopped: "Don't meddle in other people's business. They will come back and bring us more food and winter clothes."
"But they took everyone in the family away. Can young and old kill zombies? It doesn't feel right."
The bailiff glanced at the staggering old woman with disdain: "Can't you push her out to be fed to the zombies? There's also a chance that she can escape alive."
I don't feel it's a burden to bring them out, and I look forward to seeing them come back so I can pick out some things I can use.
As a result, more and more people left the city, and no one came back. Gradually, there was no "rent" or "protection fee" to pay, and the food of the county magistrate became worse and worse.
Once again, he saw the stale rice porridge on the table and was so angry that he overturned the table, spilling the porridge all over the floor and breaking the porcelain.
The servants who were taking care of them looked at the porridge water flowing on the ground with pity, thinking how nice it would be if they could lick it.
"Butler, take people to investigate, who dares to steal my things." At this time, the county magistrate still thought that the person below had seized the things. After all, he had done such things many times. He dared to withhold 7,000 taels of the 10,000 taels allocated by the court.
He would not be naive enough to believe that this was the amount originally allocated by the court.
Not long after, the yamen runners came running up in a panic: "Sir... Sir, all the people are gone."
After a search, they found that Tu'nan County had become a deserted city except for their own people, and a biting cold wind penetrated into their bones.
Of course the person was not kidnapped by a ghost, so where did he go?
Zhu Linlang looked at the people rushing in, her face was full of smiles, her upper and lower teeth couldn't close together: "We are all laborers, thank the Tunan County Magistrate for his gift."
If it weren't for him, Zhu Linlang would not have been able to gather so many people in one go. Although this was not the county magistrate's original intention, Zhu Linlang considered letting the county magistrate die quickly so as not to torture him.
The people who came from afar, carrying their bags on their backs, were anxious and worried. Was their decision right? Would they jump from another hell to this hell?
A few days ago, word spread among them that there was a paradise in Qing Kingdom, where as long as you worked hard, you would be well fed and well clothed, and even zombies would not dare to set foot in.
Their wishes are simple. They don't ask for enough food and warm clothes, just to survive. Their appetites are very small. They don't know why they are alive, they just want to live.
Some of the pillars of the family have never returned since they left; some have brought back less and less food; some may not survive the winter, and they have no way out, so they think, let's take another gamble on the legendary Utopia.
Zhu Shanyuan sent several teams to escort the people back to Zhujiazhuang. Since they only brought enough food and warm equipment for the soldiers, there was not much to share with the people. Zhu Shanyuan asked them to speed up their pace, and the people did not feel much difference in Zhujiazhuang.
It was not until they stepped into the gate of Zhujiazhuang and heard the cheers of welcome, the smiles on the people's faces, the enthusiastic words, and the leisurely looks that they immediately felt the huge difference between themselves and the people of Zhujiazhuang.
The feeling of happiness cannot be hidden.
They registered their identities, got their own contribution cards, were allocated houses, and received free supplies. It was like being hit by a huge surprise dropped from the sky. They had arrived in a fairyland!
"uncle!"
"Orb!"
"God damn!"
"Little eggs!"
"Second Master!"
The people of Zhujiazhuang were pleasantly surprised to find that the people in the crowd were their relatives whom they had not seen for a long time. It turned out that the two places were neighboring counties and there were many people intermarrying, but the distance was a bit far and they could only see each other a few times throughout the year.
