Over time.
A large number of monsters have wandered off to unknown places, but there are fewer of them in the county town.
By early summer, the growth rate of zombies began to slow down and was not significantly increased compared to winter, so they were still relatively easy to deal with.
Along the way, all the bloodstains along the way have been buried in the soil, and a large number of corpses are exposed in the wilderness, covered with wounds.
After clearing the zombies on the road, the four hundred people stopped a hundred feet away from the county town.
The west gate of the county town was completely open, and the streets around the gate were quiet. The broken streets were stained with blood, and one could vaguely see the remains of people lying on the ground, dried by the wind and wrapped in rags. The air was filled with the smell of death.
The scene was like hell on earth.
Everyone looked away and didn't stay for too long. They went around the county town and headed towards the mountains behind.
Wei Xiyin had no hope for Yimu.
The day before yesterday, Mingjingtang had handed her the compiled booklet, which was divided into several parts and distributed to the four teams that were to act separately.
Judging from the distribution, there are not many of their people in Yimu, and those who are there are almost all relatives of certain families in the clan.
The mountains and forests in Yimu are not big. At such a close distance, the surviving relatives and friends did not run back to ask for help. In her opinion, they were either trapped and unable to leave their hiding place, or they had found another safe place to stay.
Considering that Dongwu is a big city with a large concentration of people, there will probably be even more zombies. Before leaving, Wei Xiyin distributed gunpowder to Yuanwu, Zhang Yuanyan and others, and carefully instructed them to use it safely.
They also have to speed up the search here and rush to Dongwu to gather.
Arrived at the north of the county seat.
The path at the foot of the mountain is covered with vegetation. The dense plants block the road so completely that it is almost impossible to see where the road is.
After entering the mountain, Chang Ying and Qin Shan each led a team to search in different directions, and the number of people dispersed.
Wei Xiyin followed Chang Ying, and Wei Lang followed Qin Shan to the south side of the mountain.
Since becoming the squad leader, the child no longer sticks to his sister all the time. When Chang Ying gives an order, he immediately responds loudly.
His elder sister told him that as an official he must obey arrangements and follow orders from his superiors.
Soon everyone took action.
But before they had gone far, Wei Xiyin encountered a large wave of zombies halfway up the mountain.
The mountain is now covered with dense weeds, and some fast-growing weeds are half a person's height. The zombies are just skin and bones, wandering in the grass, and it is very easy to be attacked if you are not careful.
The guard who was exploring the way ahead had just used his weapon to push aside the bushes blocking the way when his eyes met those of two zombies.
Guard: “…”
He reacted quickly and killed one of the zombies the moment it pounced on him. His teammates beside him also took action immediately.
Soon, rustling sounds were heard everywhere in the surrounding grass, and the breeze blew, causing the grass leaves to rub against each other and make a delicate rustling sound. For a moment, it was difficult to accurately locate the zombies.
Judging from the noise, there are quite a few of them.
Wei Xiyin listened to the noises coming from all directions, her expression changed slightly, and she decisively ordered a retreat, "Retreat to an open area, lure out the zombies and clean them up first."
After entering the mountains, the two hundred people had already dispersed in order to search the forest. No one expected that there would be so many zombies on the mountain.
After receiving the girl's order, the guards retreated in groups of ten, but the area was full of grass and trees, making it difficult to find an open space immediately.
The guards could only stand back to back, staring vigilantly at the surrounding grass, and retreat along the same route.
In a short while, zombies emerged from the bushes and rushed towards the crowd, and then more and more zombies emerged from all directions.
Soon, the guards started fighting with the zombies.
There was a huge noise all over the mountain.
Wei Xiyin drew his sword and joined the battle.
The terrain on the mountain is steep and the paths are narrow, making it difficult to move. One has to avoid tripping and falling down the mountain. While dealing with zombies, one has to pay attention to the road under his feet. In addition, the dense trees restrict the use of long weapons.
The crowd suddenly fell into a passive position.
Wei Xiyin killed the zombie in front of her cleanly and efficiently. She glanced around and saw that a group of Zhongshan soldiers were far away and had been surrounded by monsters. Now the zombies were moving at the same speed as ordinary people and they had the advantage of terrain. It was difficult for everyone to resist and escape.
Wei Xiyin cleared out the zombies in front of him and quickly led a team of soldiers to provide support.
Qin Shan encountered the same situation.
The road from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain was peaceful, and no zombies were seen, so after entering the mountain, everyone immediately dispersed into groups of ten to search for survivors. They had no idea that there would be so many monsters hiding in the mountain.
Qin Shan shouted loudly: "Retreat!"
There were fifty Zhongshan soldiers in the team of one hundred people. Before they separated, the captain had explained clearly to them that they should obey Wei's orders along the way. So after receiving the order, the group followed the troops to quickly evacuate the place.
One guard was retreating while killing the enemy, and he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet. He was tripped by a stone and fell to the ground. Immediately, a zombie pounced on him.
The squad leader of the same team quickly stretched out his long tasseled spear to stop the zombies.
The guard stood up immediately after falling to the ground, but felt something biting his waist. Fortunately, the armor blocked it, so apart from a slight touch, he didn't feel much.
He felt something was wrong and looked down at his waist. A zombie rat with red eyes was hanging on the armor, and a shallow tooth mark was left on the chain mail.
The people around him also saw it and quickly knocked the zombie rat down and killed it with weapons.
The guard reported urgently: "Commander, there are still zombie animals here!"
The jungle is dense, the grass grows wildly, zombies, zombie animals...
You should know that there are more animals in the mountains than just mountain mice, there are also various snakes, insects, rats and ants, and this season is when reptiles end their hibernation.
