"Goal? My goal is to eliminate all zombies in Yizhou, and even the entire world. It's obviously impossible now."
Wei Xiyin sighed, "The grain transport team just left, and it will take about five days for them to return. Let's wait for Mingjingtang to sort out the directory of the clan members' locations, and then we can decide the direction."
"But it must start from Qinghe County, and we can't fly." She wanted to fly into the sky and hide in the ground.
Chu Yu remained calm and said, "Yimu is next to Ling County. Yimu was already destroyed, and there are likely survivors. No matter where we start, we will go through Yimu."
\"Girl, why not start with Yimu first." The location of the fort is next to Anping County, with the Crow Mountain Range to the west. If Qinghe County is to be cleared, there are only two directions: north and east. No matter which direction you go, you need to pass through Yimu.
Searching for people and transporting food are completely different routes.
The grain transportation route runs close to the foot of Crow Mountain. The area it passes through is sparsely populated and far away from the hustle and bustle, so it is not difficult to clean up.
But it is very troublesome to find someone because people will hide.
The Wei family is the largest clan in Qinghe County, with many relatives and friends living in the city.
Previously, whether they were going up the mountain or transporting food, they avoided crowded places due to insufficient manpower and to avoid casualties.
Chu Yu glanced at the booklet in her hand and said, "We are in urgent need of arrows for this expedition, and the materials in the blacksmith shop are not enough to provide logistical support."
"We can't wait any longer. Just take all the tens of thousands of arrows that have been used and have the guards wear thick gloves and handle them carefully." Wei Xiyin replied.
Chu Yu heard this and hummed lightly, "Besides, the booklet is of little use. It can only provide a list of names. After half a year, if the Wei clan members who are outside are lucky enough to be alive, it is impossible for them to stay where they are. They are likely to hide."
Wei Xiyin nodded, "So our first step is to search the mountains and find people. If there are no broken cities along the way, we will just abandon them."
The mountain search did not refer to Crow Mountain, but the mountains and forests along the Yimu area.
The city that has not been conquered until now is probably in the same situation as Ling County.
No one survived.
Breaking into the city would only release a large number of zombies, which would be of no benefit to them.
Whether our relatives and friends can survive depends on themselves.
Wei Xiyin thought for a moment and then warned everyone, "The broken city outside is also very troublesome. It's very likely that a zombie tide has formed."
Zombie tide?
This was the first time everyone heard this word.
Qin Shan stood silently by and was stunned when he heard this.
"Girl, do you mean that there will be a large number of monsters appearing in groups?" he asked.
"Yes," Wei Xiyin said bluntly, "After observation, I found that zombies don't kill each other. They don't react to each other's breath or smell. Instead, they will act collectively upon smelling the scent of living people. Once their numbers become too large, they form a so-called zombie tide."
She didn't want to delay any longer, and she was also afraid that if a large-scale migration of zombies occurred and they came near the fort, the fort might not be able to withstand it.
The clan members and the common people only saw the current stability of the fort, and were busy building houses in Ling County, not paying attention to what was happening outside, giving people the illusion of a paradise.
On the contrary, it is easy to ignore some potential dangers.
Chang Ying and Qin Shan remained silent.
Seeing that they were silent, Chu Yu asked calmly, "How many parts do you plan to take out with you, girl?"
Wei Xiyin rubbed her brows and said, "I was just about to discuss with you the number of people who should go out."
There are still malicious enemies hiding in the dark. The total number of troops in the camps on both sides does not exceed a thousand, and a hundred people are left to guard the granary.
"There's no need to attack the city. The more people there are, the better. If you enter a place with a lot of zombies, you might end up being unable to hide because there are too many people. The strong smell of living people will attract a large number of zombies."
Chu Yu looked at Chang Ying and Qin Shan and suggested, "Miss, why don't you select 500 people and divide them into three groups? In addition to the two commanders, you can ask Zhang Yuanyan to lead a team."
Just as they had returned from searching for the salt mine, the Yizhou army had nothing to do.
I don’t know if it’s because he has been with the girl for too long, or because he is very busy every day, but Chu Yu can’t stand seeing people idle now.
Wei Xiyin nodded, "That's exactly what I meant."
Then she asked Chang Ying and Qin Shan for their opinions and waited for the rough discussion to be completed.
It was getting dark outside.
Chang Ying and Qin Shan went down to make preparations. Now they had to wait for Mingjingtang to sort out the personnel list and for the guards who followed the grain transportation to come back. There was still time.
On the other hand, Mingjingtang has announced that it will launch a rescue operation in Qinghe County in five days.
The clan members whose relatives and friends lived nearby finally felt relieved, and the rest of the people also knew that the clan’s decision was correct. They were secretly anxious but helpless, so they could only run to Mingjing Hall to register their relatives’ information.
Wei Xiyin returned home.
Wei Lang has returned from duty. The child is very excited and is pestering his grandfather to share his joy.
"Grandfather, they all call me sergeant and listen to my orders." Wei Lang was very happy these days. He remembered his sister's words, followed Chang Ying's orders, and stayed honestly in the quarry on the mountain.
It’s a lot of fun on the mountain. Their job is to guard the quarry, patrol the surrounding area for safety, and supervise the people working.
Wei Lang stood in the pergola, his hands on his hips, directing Wang Tie and the others to work in a very stylish manner.
It can be as majestic as you want.
Although Wang Tie, Dutou and others have been incorporated into the army, they are short of manpower now, so they still work in the quarry. However, their salary has increased a lot, and no one cares if they take a break occasionally. Each person can also receive a pine wood plaque and two buckets of grain every month.
Wang Tie remembered the humiliation he suffered when he was knocked down by Wei Lang with a round shield at the door of the granary. Now that he saw the man right in front of him, he felt like having a fight with Wei Lang.
He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
The people around him were so scared that they quickly grabbed him to stop him from shouting and covered his mouth.
Erlangjun is the girl's biological brother, and it is inevitable that he will get injured during a martial arts competition. What if they accidentally hurt Erlangjun and the girl drives them out of the fort?
But Wei Lang saw another meaning in this. He said happily, "Grandfather, you don't know, they all envy me for being a squad leader. They want to come forward and salute me when they see me, especially that big, fierce-looking guy. He even wants to come over and kneel down to me..."
"But my sister said that we shouldn't bully others by taking advantage of our power. My grandson didn't make him kneel."
Wei Xiyin stepped into the room and happened to hear these words.
Wei Xiyin: “…” It’s good enough that Wang Tie doesn’t insult you, but he even kneels down to you?
When Wei Lang saw his sister coming back, he immediately stood up and cheered to greet her.
"Sister!" He patiently repeated to his sister what he had said to his grandfather.
Wei Ji took this opportunity to wave everyone away, "Alright, go to the public kitchen and eat first, don't stay here."
One of them came back later than the other, and Wei Ji had already had dinner.
After listening to his grandson chattering all night, his head was buzzing and now he just wanted some peace and quiet.
Wei Xiyin understood immediately and quickly pulled her brother away.
