If nothing unexpected happens, then there will be an accident.
Wei Xiyin waited in the woods for a long time, but did not see Chang Ying and others come out of the cave.
She sighed softly and couldn't help but worry about Chang Ying's safety.
The guards were cleaning up the corpses on the ground to prevent them from becoming corrupted. The corpses needed to be disposed of in a unified manner, but before the girl gave the order, the guards destroyed the heads of the corpses and placed them in one place.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Qin Shan came over and asked, "Girl, what should we do with these people?"
Wei Xiyin thought for a moment and was about to ask her some more questions to see if she could find out who was behind it.
As a result, heresy suddenly appeared.
The person lying on the ground began to twitch all over, arching his body on the ground, as if countless insects were crawling on his body. The blue veins on his neck were faintly visible, his facial features were twisted together, and his face showed an extremely painful expression.
Everyone's face changed drastically. This scene was too familiar to be true. It was a symptom of viral infection.
"Let go!" Wei Xiyin shouted.
The guard finally came to his senses, let go of his hand and stepped back.
The change happened too quickly. In just a moment, the eyes of those people gradually became cloudy.
A man on the ground, his face covered in bruises, was already somewhat unconscious. He pointed at her, trembling all over, "You... are the root of evil. He, he said that he would eliminate all evil in the world..."
Before he could finish his words, the man let out a beast-like roar and turned into a complete monster.
The guards rushed forward and killed them one by one, stopping the incident in its tracks.
Wei Xiyin: “…” At least finish what you’re saying!
he?
who is he?
I really want to curse. Who is so perverted as to still be plotting at this time? Do they think the world is too comfortable?
It’s best not to let her catch him, otherwise let ‘him’ see what the true source of evil is.
Wei Xiyin was furious, "What the hell!"
The guards around saw the girl getting angry and dared not say a word.
Coincidentally, Chang Ying came back with his men at this time.
Strangely, they didn't come out of the cave, but appeared from the other side of the woods.
Chang Ying's face was filled with shame. "My lady, he got away. When my subordinates and others chased him out, he was gone."
They chased for ten miles, but there was no one living nearby, nothing at all, not even any trace of footprints.
Wei Xiyin took a steadying breath and slowly calmed down. "It's none of your business. They came prepared, so how could they be caught so easily?"
The other party was obviously targeting the Wei family. In this world, if there is no deep hatred driving people, then there is only interest.
What do they want to do?
Take the opportunity to rebel?
What can we do with a country that is in tatters?
Or is it that he has set his eyes on the Wei family's base and wants to take the fortress for himself?
Wei Xiyin's mind was working rapidly, thinking about various possibilities.
But now that they haven't caught anyone, they can't keep staying here. There are still many things to do in the fort, especially those well-growing plants outside, which make her feel a little uneasy.
She quickly gathered her thoughts and said, "Burn the bodies, return to the granary, notify all guards, and transport the grain as quickly as possible."
The original plan was to transport grain, build walls, and plant crops simultaneously.
It seems that we must make a choice now and concentrate all our manpower to transport all the food.
"yes!"
The group quickly dealt with the bodies and returned to the granary.
When the gentlemen saw her coming back, they gathered around her and asked, "Cousin, have you caught anyone?"
Wei Xiyin didn't want to hide it from them, and her cousins also needed to grow up quickly, so she told them everything.
Wei He gasped, "So someone is behind this, heading for the fort?"
Wei Li was shocked and said, "At this time, instead of thinking about how to survive, you resort to some crooked ways."
But now that no one has been caught, there is no point in thinking more.
Wei Xiyin said, "Don't overthink it. Since they're coming for us, they'll show up sooner or later. The most important thing right now is the food."
After saying that, she asked someone to find the grain trucks in the granary. After all, it was the national treasury, and there was no shortage of grain trucks. Soon the guards dragged hundreds of trucks out of the warehouse.
"You've been delayed for several days, go back quickly."
The cousins nodded in agreement.
Wei Xiyin said to Cao Awang, "Go and explain to that little fatty that he can't just stay in the granary and eat and drink for free. Either he should take his people and leave, or come with us to the fort."
Cao Awang obeyed the order.
When he found Ji Yao, the little fat man was sighing.
He was only given a bowl of porridge in the morning and he was very hungry.
It turned out that the servant gave up his share of food because he saw his husband starving, but Ji Yao felt that as the son of a county magistrate, how could he compete with a servant for food, so he refused very firmly.
He rubbed his shriveled belly and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Why do you have to show off?
After hearing what Cao Awang said, Ji Yao subconsciously asked, "Will we be able to eat enough in the fort?"
"Yes...yes, as long as you work hard, there's no limit on how much you can eat." Cao Awang replied hesitantly. Mr. Ji was so fat, and it was unknown how much food he could eat in one meal.
When Ji Yao heard this, he immediately agreed.
The captain is still in the fort.
It's too dangerous outside, he doesn't want to stay outside.
After receiving the reply, the guards began to busy themselves with packing.
Three hundred soldiers came this time, plus the common people who came before and Ji Yao and others, the five hundred grain carts were quickly loaded.
Before leaving, Wei Xiyin went to say goodbye to Princess Zhongshan.
"My lady, just stay here and relax. The food will be gone in a few days."
Princess Zhongshan's face was calm. "You are too polite, young lady. The granary is very safe. I am fine here, but you should be more careful on the road."
Wei Xiyin nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Master."
With that, she said goodbye and left, leaving Cao Awang and others to guard the granary, and led the rest of the people back to the fort.
At this time, everyone in the dock was still busy.
Ever since the girl left with her troops, all the work has been carried out in an orderly manner. Now most of the zombies in Ling County have been cleared out, and they don't need too many guards to protect them along the way when they go out to work, so no accidents have occurred.
The newly opened fields on the mountain have been carefully tended by the tenants, and the beans, wheat, and various vegetables planted in the fields have already sprouted seedlings.
Look at the growth. As long as there are no accidents, the dock will be able to harvest a new batch of grain in autumn.
The tribesmen are still continuing to cultivate new fields. As the population grows, there are too few fields to guarantee people's livelihood.
A high wall on the back of the mountain has been built to block the zombies in Julu County.
Chu Yu had not stayed in the quarry for the past few days. The captives had become more and more obedient. They would come out to work every day without any orders. Fortunately, he left a few guards to watch over them and took the people to the mountain to dig a reservoir.
The weather has been abnormal in recent years.
There is a high probability of drought to follow.
Chu Yu and the girl had the same idea: to prevent the canals from drying up in the summer and the crops from dying due to lack of water, they had to store water as soon as possible.
