Just as Wei Xiyin and his men were chasing after the zombie tide in the east, Wei Lang had already protected everyone and arrived in Ling County.
Although the route had been cleared several times, many zombies still appeared on the road from time to time.
Ling County is now very spectacular. Circles of blocking walls have been built outside the foot of Crow Mountain along the way. The six-meter-high earth wall stretches as far as the eye can see, surrounding the entire mountain.
Since entering Ling County, I haven't seen a single zombie. When I walked near the fort, the circles of walls outside were particularly conspicuous. There were crossbow carts mounted on the high walls, and guards were patrolling all around.
Seeing this scene, those noble families were shocked and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, saying that they were worthy of being the Qinghe Wei family, as they could survive in a remote corner in today's world and still had such strong defense.
The guards on the city wall immediately discovered them, and when they saw that it was Erlangjun returning with his men, the gate of the wall opened immediately.
The changes within the walls are also huge.
The originally bare fields have been widened into ten-foot-wide roads, and some of the ditches used to irrigate the fields have been filled in. The bricklayer is leading people to prepare to build drainage channels to lay a solid foundation for future house construction.
The research institute at the door has been built. It has two floors. The building materials are mostly natural materials such as stone and wood. The interior is supported by some steel structures. The outer walls are earth-colored, and the appearance looks particularly simple.
It was not until they entered the wall that they discovered that the house was extremely large, occupying almost the entire west wall.
A young man from an aristocratic family asked curiously, "May I ask what this house is used for?"
The people in the dock didn't say a word when they heard the question.
Who knows.
No one knew the answer, including the bricklayer who was responsible for building the house. They only knew that the girl said the house should be big and have many rooms, and it didn't matter whether it was beautiful or not.
Wei Ting and Xie Ruian guessed it. Xie Ruian was in charge of refining steel structures and had been following up on the construction of the research institute. As for Wei Ting, Mr. Chu asked him to build iron railings for the innermost houses a few days ago and took him in for a tour.
The interior was quite spacious, square in shape for optimal lighting, with a small central courtyard connected by a deep walkway. The institute's main entrance wasn't far from the main gate, but the innermost seven or eight rooms were tucked away on the far west side, so even if there was a commotion, it wouldn't be heard from outside.
After looking around, Chu Yu invited Wei Ting back and said, "Please ask someone to build some iron fences and decorate these rooms."
Arrangement?
How to arrange the iron bars?
Mr. Chu must have done this at the behest of his fifth cousin.
Wei Ting's expression was complicated. Adding iron bars meant turning these rooms into prisons. Were they there to hold criminals or monsters?
As if afraid that he didn't understand.
Chu Yu added calmly, "There needs to be three layers of iron bars to prevent them from breaking free and escaping." You know, there are no zombies in Ling County now. If you want to catch these things, you have to go to a farther place.
Wei Ting: "..."
He had no choice but to reply: "I know."
By the time Wei Lang led his men back today, at least ten houses had been fenced.
After Chu Yu inspected it, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was time to recruit observation and recording officers.
Zhang Qi was currently traveling with the Cheng brothers to Anping County on a mission to bring back the civilians from Youzhou. Ever since Mr. Chu had promised to give Young Master Ji an easy job, he had already informed Ji Yao.
No need to do any hard work, just sit there and write.
After hearing this, Fatty Ji also felt that the job was easy. He patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. I can definitely do this job."
I heard that he was given a poplar wood badge, and if he behaved well, he would get extra food, so that he wouldn't have to go hungry in the future and could support himself.
Ji Yao was full of confidence and waited for Mr. Chu to summon him.
This wait lasted for several days.
Today, Mr. Chu finally sent someone to look for him.
Ji Yao took out a small mirror, tidied up his appearance, and brought his servants to the entrance of the research institute.
Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by the guard at the door. The guard pointed at the servant beside him and said, "This is a confidential place. No one who is not important is allowed to enter."
Ji Yao didn't look unhappy at all when he heard this. Instead, he was secretly delighted. Has he entered the center of power in the Wei family?
In the future, you can enter and exit the confidential area freely, which sounds very impressive.
Ji Yao coughed lightly and said to the servant, "Wait outside. I will go in by myself."
The servant quickly agreed, saying that his husband had finally made it big.
Ji Yao straightened his chest and, led by the guard, walked into the research institute without looking around and came to the room where Chu Yu handled miscellaneous affairs.
Chu Yu was sitting at the desk, his head down, writing something. When he saw someone come in, he didn't even look up and threw him a contract. "This is what the girl prepared. Sign it."
Ji Yao was stunned. He took it and looked at it. There were four big words written on it - Confidentiality Agreement.
He looked down and the general meaning was that the work done here could not be disclosed to outsiders.
Fatty Ji didn't think anything was wrong and was secretly proud of himself. It seemed that he was about to get in touch with the secrets of the Wei family. Without saying a word, he picked up the pen beside him, rolled up his sleeves and signed his name.
Seeing this, Chu Yu raised his head, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile, "Master Ji is really brave. Now that we have signed the contract, let's go and see where we will be working in the future."
Ji Yao nodded when he heard this and said, "We should take a look." But he felt strange in his heart. Why did Mr. Chu praise him for his courage? What does this have to do with courage?
Everyone in the county magistrate's office knew that he had always been very timid.
Before he could figure it out, Chu Yu had already stood up and left the room.
Ji Yao hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked along the corridor all the way to the innermost rooms. There were several guards on duty along the way.
Stop at the door of one of the houses.
Chu Yu pointed at the door and said, "This is where Master Ji will be working in the future. Please go in and take a look."
"Oh, I see."
Ji Yao nodded quickly and pushed open the door without thinking.
Not mentally prepared at all.
Two extremely terrifying-looking zombies imprisoned in the prison came into view.
Seeing a living person coming in, the monster turned around, stared at him with its terrifying white eyes, and rushed towards the door with a strange roar.
Ji Yao's eyes were as big as copper bells, his lips were trembling slightly, and he was so scared that his whole body was stiff and unable to move.
His eyes rolled up and he fell to the ground.
The guard on duty at the door came in immediately to check on him, sniffed his breath, and reported to Chu Yu: "Mr. Chu, he has fainted."
Chu Yu shook his head and said, "How can you be so timid? Master Ji needs to practice more."
He continued to speak to himself, "It's okay. You'll get used to it sooner or later. They asked for this job on their own initiative. I have to satisfy Captain Zhang's good intentions."
Just sit here and observe the zombies. Look, what an easy job.
One recorder is not enough, we need to recruit two more.
