Wait until the brother and sister finish their dinner and come out of the shared kitchen.
Night has fallen.
The scenery in the distance seemed hazy and chaotic, with dim firelight flickering in the distance.
That's the direction of the camp.
Oil lamps were a luxury, and the people in the fort went to bed early. Once night fell, except for a few faint lights coming from the courtyard, the surroundings were pitch black.
The bluestone road in the fort was smooth, and the brother and sister could walk home with their eyes closed, so it didn't affect them at all.
Wei Lang's biological clock has always been very accurate. He would feel sleepy at a certain time, but now he is much quieter.
After returning home, he walked towards his yard in a daze.
Wei Xiyin watched her brother walk into the yard, and only turned back to Chaoxi Courtyard after she saw a figure enter the house.
The yard is very quiet.
There was nothing to do at night, so she washed up and went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how long I slept when I suddenly heard a noise outside the house.
"Girl!" Ningshuang knocked on the door, her voice anxious.
Wei Xiyin suddenly woke up and sat up. Seeing that it was still pitch black outside, she asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on?"
Ning Shuang quickly reported: "There seems to be something going on outside the wall. There are guards waiting outside the door, wanting to see the girl."
Wei Xiyin was so frightened when she heard this that she woke up from her sleepiness. There were no zombies nearby, but something happened in the middle of the night. Could it be that a wave of zombies was moving in?
She quickly put on her clothes and hurried out to the yard.
Seeing the girl coming out, the guards didn't dare to delay and hurriedly reported: "My lady, the guards on duty found many survivors outside, as well as a large number of zombies."
survivor?
Wei Xiyin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. It seemed that it was not a zombie tide, but some survivors came to the fortress for help, which attracted the zombies.
She continued walking towards the fort's gate, the guard following behind her. He continued speaking rapidly, "The survivors must have escaped from Anping County. The night watchman discovered the situation immediately, but there were so many zombies outside that he didn't dare to open the door. Please give the order, young lady."
Ling County has been cleaned up, so even if a few zombies occasionally sneak in, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The city gate leading from Yongning County to Qinghe has been closed by them, including the roads and mountain paths along the way, which are all blocked by high walls to prevent zombies from entering. Where did those people attract so many zombies?
Perhaps sensing her confusion, the guard immediately said, "Mr. Chu said they must have opened the gate to Yongning County."
Wei Xiyin nodded. The city gate opened from the inside and could not be blocked from the outside. Chu Yu had people set up a circle of barricades outside the city gate as an interception, and guards patrolled the area outside the city every day.
Those zombies can't run away, but humans are different from zombies after all. Humans can open doors and remove barricades.
She quickly reached the gate, crossed the drawbridge, and came to the outer wall.
Chu Yu was standing on the observation deck above, gazing into the distance.
The starry sky is lonely and the moonlight is silent.
It was pitch black outside and the situation could not be seen at all. The survivors were not very close to the zombies and could only hear noises coming from all directions.
Those people seemed to be worried about attracting zombies, and were leading the monsters in a circle around the wall outside Zutian. However, the zombies were extremely fast at night and they could not outrun them at all. The sounds of various weapons fighting could be heard outside.
The noise sounded very chaotic.
Wei Xiyin followed him up to the observation deck and ordered people to light torches.
The people outside saw a fire light up above the wall, and immediately someone shouted: "We are soldiers from the Yuyang County of Youzhou, escorting the Wei clan members back to their home. Please open the door and rescue them!"
The faces of the people inside the wall changed drastically.
The people outside are members of the Wei clan!
Wei Xiyin's heart tightened, and he decisively ordered, "Put away the fort's drawbridge, light all the torches, put on armor, and open the door for rescue!"
Ningshuang came running over panting. The girl came out in a hurry and didn't even take her gold silk soft armor and sword. She was worried about the girl's safety and mustered up the courage to step out of the fort.
The screams and roars of zombies outside were terrifying to hear.
Ningshuang was so scared that her face turned pale and her whole body couldn't help shaking.
Wei Xiyin's attention was now completely focused on the movements outside the wall. She walked down from the observation deck, took the things and said quickly, "Hurry back, the drawbridge is about to be retracted."
The dock is now a "city within a city". Once the door is opened, there is a high possibility that sporadic zombies will rush into the wall. It is not safe here.
Ning Shuang nodded subconsciously. She trembled and said, "Then the girl should put on the soft armor first."
Wei Xiyin responded and put the soft armor directly on her clothes.
Now that summer is approaching, spring clothes are thin and you can easily put on soft armor, but it looks a bit unsightly.
Ningshuang then ran towards the gate of the fort.
There was only one main gate outside the wall, which was already open. Chang Ying and Qin Shan led the guards and rushed out with torches in hand. After the two teams went out, they moved left and right and soon engaged in a fight with the zombies outside.
Torches were lit everywhere, illuminating the area in front of the door like daylight.
But the wall is too large, and in some places you can hear noises but not see people.
Chu Yu was still standing on the wall and had not come down, directing the guards to set up the crossbow cart. Now that there were people and zombies mixed outside, the crossbow cart could not be used effectively, so they could only wait quietly for the opportunity.
The zombies were very agile at night, and the people guarding the main gate of the wall were facing a great enemy.
Keep a close eye on what's happening outside.
Chang Ying led his troops out and turned left, encountering the first wave of zombies, but no living people were seen.
There were about a dozen zombies in this group. When they saw them, they immediately turned around and rushed over. Their speed was as fast as lightning and they were in front of them in the blink of an eye.
"Form a formation!"
Immediately, a guard stepped forward, stood in front of the people, and raised his round shield to form a barrier.
