It was just after noon.
Wei Lang led fifty guards and escorted everyone back to the fort.
He wanted to follow his elder sister, but he didn't dare to disobey her because she said he had to obey her orders and would be punished if he didn't.
Although Sister has not yet said what the punishment is, he has subconsciously determined that it is the painter's rule.
Wei Lang lowered his head and said goodbye to his sister dejectedly.
Wei Xiyin gave her brother a few detailed instructions, but when he didn't respond, she knew he was just throwing a tantrum and didn't take it too seriously. This child's emotions came and went quickly.
The group parted ways in Pingfu Village.
After a while, Wei Xiyin and others set out on the road to Dongwu.
And at this time.
The young men have already fled to Gaoyi County.
That night, a large group of zombies moved towards them, numbering several thousand. The situation in Gaoyi was unknown, and there were many dangers in the darkness. More than a thousand people were a hot commodity at night, attracting zombies to continue pouring in.
The crowd was quickly dispersed by the surrounding zombies.
Cao Awang, Wei Li, Wei He and seven of their followers, as well as the Princess of Zhongshan and more than twenty civilians who were running in the front, were separated from the main force in the darkness.
Fortunately, there were refugees from Gaoyi in their team who were familiar with the terrain of Gaoyi. They led everyone up the mountain in the dark and came to the nest of Gaoyi Longhu Village, where they got rid of the zombie monsters chasing them.
Until dawn.
The zombies at the foot of the mountain gradually slowed down their movements.
Wei Li was worried about the safety of his cousins, so he rushed out to look for them as soon as dawn broke.
He bowed and said, "Princess, please stay here and rest. We will go down the mountain to take a look and return soon."
Princess Zhongshan didn't refuse. She knew she couldn't help much by going along, so she comforted him, "Don't worry too much, my dear. Everything will be fine."
Wei Li nodded, and together with Wei He, led the remaining troops and three Gaoyi people who volunteered to lead the way down the mountain to look for people.
The group was anxious to find someone and went down the mountain very quickly.
A large number of zombies rushed into Gaoyi. Monsters could be seen wandering everywhere at the foot of the mountain, and not a single living person was to be seen.
Wei He was a little worried. "At that time, they were protecting the flanks. If they were to disperse, they might flee to the east. Wouldn't that mean they would be further away from Julu County?"
After arriving in Gaoyi, they should have headed south to get back to Crow Mountain, but now no one is anywhere to be seen.
Wei Li said: "No matter where we go, as long as everyone is safe, it's fine." At worst, we can go back later, but we don't know if the tribe will come out to look for them after receiving the news of their disappearance.
He left messages along the way, hoping that someone would see them and avoid running into the zombie horde.
A dozen people quickly arrived at a village at the foot of the mountain, but did not go in.
The originally quiet village welcomed new 'guests', and countless zombies poured into the village. Their purpose was not to kill the zombies. With so many of them, it was hard to say how long it would take for a dozen of them to clear them out.
Everyone carefully stayed away from the monsters, bypassed the village, marked the way along the way, and headed to the opposite forest.
According to Wei Li's idea, his cousins were not familiar with Gaoyi, and if they wanted to avoid zombies in the dark, they could only run into the mountains and forests. There were so many civilians and guards, and with so many people, there would definitely be more zombies chasing them.
It is entirely possible to determine the direction of their escape based on the number of zombies nearby and the corpses on the road.
He looked into the distance, observed for a moment, and chose a route with the most zombies.
More than a dozen people cooperated with each other and made noise to lure the zombies away, but the monsters were moving very fast now, and sometimes they would come back after a while after being lured away, so the group had to clean up by themselves.
Wei Li and Wei He protected three civilians and fought the enemy at the front.
The number of monsters they had killed in the six months since the zombie outbreak was less than that in just one hour.
Cao Awang was worried about the safety of the two gentlemen at first, but he was relieved when he saw that they could handle it themselves. The gentlemen are in such a state now. Who would have thought that they were scholars who could not lift anything with their hands or shoulders half a year ago.
Facts proved that Wei Li's choice was correct. After clearing a section of the road, they quickly found more than 400 civilians and several cousins.
His cousins shared the same idea and came out of their hiding place at daybreak, anxiously looking for him, so the group soon met him.
Wei Li glanced around, his heart tightening, "Where's Wei He? Wasn't he with you guys at that time?"
The cousins were stunned for a moment, "We didn't see him. Last night was so chaotic, we thought cousin He was with you."
Wei He was at the front right when he came out of the granary last night, while his cousins were on the left, running in different directions.
And now, in addition to Wei He, the whereabouts of several cousins are unknown.
Upon hearing this, Wei Li turned around and led his men in another direction, making sure nothing happened to his brothers.
Seeing this, Cao Awang asked the people from Gaoyi who had followed him to take everyone to Longhu Village on the opposite mountain to wait. If they were looking for someone, the fewer people the better, as too many people would only attract the attention of the zombies.
The people followed orders and were obedient. It was not difficult to get rid of the monsters as long as they ran fast during the day.
Before they had gone far, the common people hurried back and chased after them, saying in a panic, "Oh no! Another large number of zombies are coming this way, and they've already surrounded the foot of Longhu Village!"
Everyone paused. It seemed that the zombie tide at the other end of the granary was moving towards this side.
It is really not advisable to stay in Gaoyi for a long time. We need to find someone to leave as soon as possible.
Wei Li's expression changed slightly, "The princess is still on the mountain over there."
Gaoyi Longhu Village is an independent hilltop with steep surroundings and only one road leading to the foot of the mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is why Tian San chose to be a bandit there.
Once the zombies surround the foot of the mountain, the princess and her companions will not be able to get out. If the zombies run up the mountain along the path at night, they will have nowhere to retreat. The five followers around them will not be able to protect them at all.
The soldiers from Zhongshan Kingdom are still searching for someone, and the fifth cousin seems to have other arrangements, so the princess must not get into any harm.
Wei Li's expression was solemn, and he quickly made a decision. "Wei He, take the others to look for my brothers first. Cao Awang, follow me. Let's go back and lure away the zombies at the foot of the mountain to rescue them!"
Wei He responded quickly.
Those people had nowhere to hide, so they followed everyone and, led by several young men from the Wei family, the crowd quickly dispersed and divided into several groups to search for people.
They need to leave Gaoyi County as soon as possible, otherwise there is a high possibility that there will be a carnival of demons here at night.
………
At this time, Wei Xiyin was still unaware of the situation of his cousins, and led the remaining three hundred people to Dongwu City.
There are very few zombies here, to what extent?
After walking about six miles, I only saw three or two scattered birds.
Three neighboring cities were broken one after another, but there were only so few monsters. You can imagine what the situation would be like.
"It seems the zombie tide has really started to move." Wei Xiyin sighed, "We have to find out where they are moving as soon as possible."
The sun's true fire had been used up, and there were only nine pieces of gunpowder left. The situation was very bad.
