The cousins set out a day earlier than Wei Xiyin and the others.
By the time they reached the granary, dusk was setting in and the ground was covered in a gray haze.
Some of the vegetables planted by the tribe recently have matured. Considering that there is nothing in the granary, the men brought some eggs and vegetables to the princess this time.
After a short rest, everyone had dinner.
The brothers pushed and shoved each other for a while, and finally Wei Li carried a basket of things to the warehouse where the princess lived.
They will transport food back to the fort tomorrow, so they will deliver the goods at night.
Princess Zhongshan did not stay in the warehouse. She heard from the guards stationed in the granary that Miss Wei would get up early every day to jog and practice martial arts with the guards.
He thought about how he had to be carried all the way by his followers when he escaped from Tobu Castle due to exhaustion, how he encountered monsters in the village, and how he collapsed in the snow in a miserable state.
Princess Zhongshan felt that she should learn from Miss Wei and not always rely on others. She didn't have to fight in the battlefield to kill the enemy, but at least she would have the strength to run if she encountered monsters in the future.
Staying in the granary all day and unable to go out, the princess had nothing to do, so she took Cui Erniang to exercise together and jog around the warehouse.
After dinner today, it was still early, so she called Cui Er Niang and took them for a walk around the warehouse to help digest the food.
He happened to bump into Wei Li who was carrying something.
I saw two strange young ladies in front of me.
Wei Li lowered his eyelids and bowed without looking away, "Greetings, my lady."
At this time, Wei Li looked particularly serious, handsome and dignified. On ordinary days, everyone joked and played around in private, but there was a time for that.
You must not lose your manners in front of others and tarnish the reputation of the Qinghe Wei family.
Princess Zhongshan was stunned. A stranger suddenly appeared around the warehouse. She suddenly remembered that the young men of the Wei family were helping to transport grain. The young man in front of her must be the young man of the Wei family.
I didn’t see him last time.
The grain transport team always came and went in a hurry. After more than a month of transporting grain, this was the first time they met.
The princess quickly returned the greeting and said softly, "Master Wei is polite."
Wei Li felt a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly, "My lady, are you used to being here? The clan specially ordered us to bring you some food. They are all vegetables and fruits grown by everyone. I hope my lady will not mind."
As he said this, he handed over the basket in his hand.
The attendant beside him quickly took it and thanked him repeatedly.
As if she could see his embarrassment, a smile flashed across her eyes as she said softly, "Thank you all for your concern. I'm doing well here. Please, my dear, thank you for me to the Wei clan."
"It's my duty. You are so polite, my lady."
See that things are done.
Wei Li wondered whether he should say goodbye.
Cui Erniang: “…” Do you treat me like air?
Wei Li thought for a while and was about to say goodbye when he saw his followers and guards running towards him in the distance.
"Princess!"
"Mr. Lilang!"
Hearing the shout, Wei Li and Princess Zhongshan were both stunned.
"The sentries have detected a large number of monsters rushing towards this area. Shi Chang has ordered his subordinates to inform the young men to gather at the door and move immediately!"
Without waiting for Wei Li's reaction, the guard stepped forward, grabbed the other person and ran away without saying a word.
The attendants immediately protected the princess and Cui Erniang and followed behind them.
Cui Erniang panicked and blurted out, "The granary is impregnable, why would we run away?"
"They can't be stopped." Wei Li heard this and shook his head slightly. "Those zombies will never leave once they smell a living person. Zombies at night are extremely powerful and tireless. Once they are surrounded, there will be no escape. It's only a matter of time before the door breaks down."
Cui Erniang understood and her face turned pale. She asked tremblingly, "There are monsters outside. Where can we escape to?" The monsters at night were really scary.
Wei Li was dragged forward by the guards and had no time to reply.
Everyone was already running towards the door.
Cao Awang, the grain transport team, and the hundred soldiers stationed at the granary were waiting there with serious expressions.
He saluted everyone and said, "My lords and ladies, we have detected a large number of monsters coming from the south. We must leave immediately without delay."
Wei Li still asked, "How many are there?"
If there are few of them, you can try to hold on until dawn and then go out to clean up.
Wei He's face was as pale as paper. "Cousin, don't ask any more questions. From the noise, there are at least 100,000 people. Let's go."
Wei Li felt his breathing stop when he heard this.
A hundred thousand zombie hordes...
If we were trapped in the granary, we would definitely not survive more than a night.
Thinking of this, the group did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly packed up their things. Apart from the necessary equipment and three days' rations, they took nothing else.
When I opened the granary door, it was pitch black outside, but I could already hear deafening howling in the distance.
The noise was so loud that it was terrifying to hear.
but……
Those zombies came from the south. Wei’s Fort was in the south, and the tide of zombies just blocked their way.
Wei Li said decisively: "We will go west, shake off the zombie army and reach Gaoyi, go around to Julu County, and return from the back of Crow Mountain."
The guard nodded in agreement.
They must not lure the monster to Ling County, so they can only take a long detour to Julu County.
As the sound got closer, the group quickly moved.
There were so many of them that as soon as they came out, the nearby zombies heard the news and rushed towards the crowd.
The guards who were walking in front to clear the way quickly surrounded the group and carried out a multi-person encirclement as quickly as possible, trying not to make any noise.
Princess Zhongshan held Cui Erniang and was surrounded by five followers, following behind the young men.
Considering Cui Erniang's uncertainty, the princess whispered in her ear, "No matter what happens, don't make a sound. If you attract zombies, I won't care about you."
Cui Erniang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She was afraid that the princess would abandon her, so she hurriedly agreed and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
The crowd did not dare to disperse and stayed very close.
Wei Li, who was walking in front of them, just happened to hear it.
He paused for a moment before walking forward as if nothing had happened.
Except for Wei Li and Wei He who were standing in front, the rest of the cousins had already run to the side. There were thousands of civilians transporting grain, plus them and the people in the granary, and only a hundred guards, which was not enough to protect so many people.
At this time, they followed the guards and took charge of the outer protection work.
Wei He's expression was determined. As the lightning-fast monster rushed towards him, he raised his long tasseled spear and walked forward without fear.
All the fighting took place in silence. Thousands of civilians transporting grain followed the large army and walked quickly, no one dared to make a sound.
We are not fools. If we attract a large army of zombies, those guards will probably only help the young men of the Wei family escape, and they will have no chance of survival.
The movements behind me became clearer and clearer.
Cao Awang and others who were leading the way in front became more and more anxious, and their attacks became more and more fierce.
Wei He couldn't help but feel a little worried. "The search team left a day later than us. I wonder if Fifth Cousin and the others ran into those zombies."
