Pingfu Village is located in a remote area. There are no other villages within a radius of ten miles. It is also far away from the county town, so there are very few monsters.
According to Sun Qian.
All the people were locked up in the village. High walls were erected around the village, and outside were fields. There was nowhere to hide. With so many of them, they would definitely be discovered immediately if they went over there.
If they attack by force, the Shifang Sect is likely to threaten the lives of Wei's relatives and friends, and they will be in a very passive position.
Zhuang Shuyu suddenly interrupted, "The leader of the Ten Directions Sect is a seventh-grade, ten-fruit cultivator. Everyone calls him the Seven Directions Taoist. He looks fierce and ferocious, not much like a Taoist priest, but he can summon divine fire. He used this to win over people right after arriving in hiding."
Wei Xiyin couldn't help but glance at her twice, "What else do you know, young lady?"
Zhuang Shuyu pursed her lips and said, "They wouldn't let us get close to the prisoners. I don't know much, but I do know that the Ten Directions Sect has very few members of its own. It seems they were all followers they picked up along the way. But they are very loyal, like they're possessed. They'll do whatever the Taoist tells them to do."
"But from what I've observed, there are two people who are very suspicious. The Taoist seems a little wary of them and doesn't usually give them orders." She then described their appearances. "One is very clean and tidy, making him easy to spot among the unkempt crowd. The other carries a uniquely shaped scimitar."
Wei Xiyin was slightly surprised. The young lady was observing very carefully.
Zhuang Shuyu was a little nervous under everyone's gaze, her face shy. "I don't know if I guessed right. I hope I can help the girl a little."
Wei Xiyin smiled lightly and said, "Of course it helps, thank you, young lady."
She pondered for a moment, then turned to Chang Ying and Qin Shan and said, "It seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Let's stay here tonight and discuss how to save him."
The two immediately responded, "Yes!"
Then she looked at Sun Qian and the others and said, "Please stay here for a few days. I will send someone to take you to the fort safely."
Sun Qian and the others also quickly agreed.
The fortress belongs to the Wei family, so naturally the girl has the final say on this matter.
Wei Xiyin and his men found a place to rest. There was a small village nearby and there were not many zombies.
It was quiet all around.
The village was filled with dead silence, without any sound. The nearby houses were dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, and the whole village became dim and gloomy.
Where did all those zombies go?
Wei Xiyin had a bad feeling. A zombie tide had already formed and was probably already moving. After dealing with the Shifang Sect, they had to send people out to investigate immediately.
………
Zhang Yuanyan has already brought his men to the vicinity of the granary.
The scene before them made everyone pale.
In the distance, a huge crowd of people gathered together like countless undercurrents, surging like waves as they moved. Their footsteps resounded like thunder in the ears, mixed with low, hoarse roars.
The tightly closed gate of Qingyang County blocked the path of the zombie tide. The huge zombie army was divided into two groups, one gathered outside the county gate, and the other had reached the plain outside the granary.
Zhang Yuanyan immediately sent someone to investigate the situation.
People dare not go near and can only observe from a distance.
Soon the scout came back to report.
"Sir, the gates of Qingyang County have been rammed all night and are already shaky and ready to collapse. The city could be breached at any moment."
This news was like a bolt from the blue.
Once Qingyang County is broken, countless zombies will pour out and join the army. I am afraid that as the zombie tide continues to move, the scale will become larger and larger. By then, no one will be able to resist it.
And this is not the worst news.
When Zhang Yuanyan and his men arrived at the granary, they were all horrified.
The densely packed monsters on the plain made it impossible to get through, and the entire granary was trapped inside. Looking into the distance, the granary door was open, and there were crowds of people inside. Monsters were everywhere as far as the eye could see!
And those monsters were moving slowly and staggeringly towards the west.
There was no sign of any living person nearby.
The faces of the Wei clan soldiers turned pale, their bodies were shaking, and those gentlemen...
Zhang Yuanyan was completely lost and didn't know what to do.
The victims were the Wei family's followers and their husbands, including Wei Li from the third branch of the family. Moreover, Princess Zhongshan was still in the granary, and Yuan Wu and others were completely unaware of it.
How can he, an outsider, make the decision when the girl is not around?
The Wei clan's followers exchanged glances, clasped their fists, and pleaded, "Master Zhang, please give the order to search for the whereabouts of these gentlemen!"
Zhang Yuanyan took a deep breath and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will do my best to save him. Leave someone to observe and see if he is still in the granary. The rest of you will search everywhere for any traces of him."
"yes!"
Their team was a mixed bunch, with 200 people including the Yizhou Army, Zhongshan Army, and Wei clan troops.
Up to now, the soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom did not know that their princess was also here, and thought she was helping to rescue the young master of the Wei family.
The Wei family saved their lives and was helping them search for the whereabouts of the princess. The Zhongshan army naturally felt obligated to do so. After receiving the order, they immediately dispersed, carefully avoiding the zombie army in the distance and conducting searches nearby.
Soon, the Zhongshan army discovered the situation in the west and notified the Wei family's troops to come and identify it.
The traces on the ground here were very messy. The well-growing green grass was pressed all over the place. There were footprints everywhere on the road and in the fields, in a disorderly and disorganized manner. Most of those footprints were made barefoot. The only ones without shoes now were zombies.
Obviously, part of the zombie army has moved to the west, and the traces on the road are completely unrecognizable.
However, the Zhongshan army discovered that a large number of zombie corpses appeared on the ground in the direction of Gaoyi to the west, and hurriedly called in the Wei family's troops.
The wound caused by the long tassel spear was unique, and the guard recognized it immediately.
He couldn't help but exclaim in joy, "Yes, it's one of ours!"
And on the small path along the ridge of the field, there were handfuls of chestnuts scattered, forming a thin line that went all the way west.
It seems that the young men have fled to Gaoyi with the people who were transporting grain.
The guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wei Li was careful and knew that if they disappeared, the tribe would be anxiously looking for them, so when he was escaping at night, he paid attention and left a message on the road.
Although food is precious, the door of the granary cannot be closed after they come out, and the remaining food that has not been transported may not be preserved.
Before leaving, Wei Li grabbed a few handfuls of food from the car, put them in his pocket, and scattered them along the way.
Zhang Yuanyan rushed over soon after hearing the news.
Knowing that someone had escaped from the granary and headed for Gaoyi, he gradually felt relieved.
But now they are faced with a choice: to stay here and observe the direction of the zombie tide, or to chase to Gaoyi to find Mr. Wei, or to go to Dongwu, meet up with Yuanwu as agreed, and then wait for the girl to come.
For a moment, Zhang Yuanyan was unable to make a decision.
