Qin Shan's expression was solemn. "Withdraw from the village first."
The food scattered by the young men was cut off after entering Gaoyi. Fearing that they were still stranded in Gaoyi, Qin Shan took the guards and began to search.
And at this time.
On the back of the mountain where Gaoyi Longhu Village is located, there is a cliff in the air.
A crooked tree, growing at an angle, stretched out from a crevice in the rocks. Its sturdy trunk was as thick as a bowl, and its branches and leaves were dense. The crevices around it were covered with lush vegetation.
Looking through the cracks in the branches, a narrow cave entrance appeared.
Princess Zhongshan was squatting at the entrance of the cave, her hairpins scattered and strands of hair hanging down. It can be said that since she was born, even when a disaster broke out and the city was broken, she, as a princess of the royal family, had never been so embarrassed.
But Princess Zhongshan no longer cared about these things. She crushed the mugwort she collected from the cracks in the rocks with her hands until the juice was squeezed out. She held it in her palm, stood up carefully and walked into the cave.
This bit of mugwort is the only medicinal herb that can be picked nearby. Except for the crooked tree in front of me, the surroundings are bare. Even the cliff under my feet and the sky in my eyes have become long and ethereal.
Lord Wei's injuries look terrible. I wonder if these herbs can be of any use.
In the cave.
Wei Li was lying unconscious on the ground. The injury on his arm looked particularly serious. His entire right arm was soaked in blood, his clothes were stained with blood, and his body was covered in mud, looking very miserable.
Princess Zhongshan walked forward quietly, cleaned the dirt on the wound meticulously, and applied herbs to his wound.
The pain from the wound made the unconscious Wei Li frown slightly.
Seeing this, the princess became a little nervous and had to slow down her movements, using her fingers to gently spread the medicine on the wound.
After she finished all this, she breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her face.
The cave was very small and the two were very close to each other. Princess Zhongshan stared at Wei Li's face in a daze for a while.
No one knew how serious Li Langjun's injuries were, and there was nothing around. Even if his injuries were not serious, there was no water or food here. If they did nothing, they would starve to death sooner or later.
She must find a way to save herself.
As for why things have developed to this point, it’s a long story.
That day, the two gentlemen went down the mountain with their guards to look for someone, and she, her followers, and the common people were left on the mountain.
The top of the mountain in Gaoyi Longhu Village is steep. The entire mountain is almost bare rocks, with a cliff on the back. There is only one road leading to the top of the mountain. Tian San and others used to burn grain for heating in winter, resulting in few houses left in the already dilapidated village.
Fortunately, everyone understands that this is not a place to stay for long, and they will leave immediately after finding the missing people.
So no one cared about the environment and everyone stayed on the top of the mountain to catch up on their sleep.
But only two hours later, Xiang Qi and his five followers who were guarding outside discovered a large number of monsters coming from the direction of the granary. Those monsters quickly moved to the foot of the mountain and blocked the only way down the mountain.
Everyone's face changed drastically.
If these monsters don't leave before dark, they will probably follow the mountain road to the top of the mountain. Then they will have nowhere to escape. With so many monsters, they won't be able to kill them all.
Xiang Qi and his companions discussed the matter but did not report the situation to the princess.
Tens of thousands of zombies have gathered at the foot of the mountain. Even if they knew the situation, they would not be able to escape. Instead, it would make the princess nervous and add to her troubles.
The attendants left two of them to guard outside the princess's door.
Xiang Qi took the other two to the middle of the mountain to investigate the situation. They observed until dusk. As the sky gradually darkened, the monsters began to become agile. Just when they didn't know what to do, they found that the tide of zombies at the bottom of the mountain changed and began to migrate eastward.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After the zombie tide was attracted away by the noise made by Cao Awang and others, Wei Li led five guards up the mountain and met Xiang Qi and his two companions on the mountainside.
Without time for politeness, Wei Li hurriedly said, "Quickly inform the princess and the people that we must move immediately."
The mountain stronghold surrounded by cliffs on three sides is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it only targets ordinary enemies and has no effect on zombies. Instead, it is easy to trap people. Wei He and his team have gone to look for people. Seeing that there are more and more zombies in Gaoyi, they must leave here immediately.
Xiang Qi understood the seriousness of the situation and did not dare to delay, so he went to inform the princess immediately.
Cui Erniang, who was standing by, started to run for her life again after hearing this. She turned pale with fear. The journey out of the granary was too dangerous. At that time, the zombie army was chasing them, and there were monsters attracted in front to block the road. The team was dispersed in an instant. She grabbed the princess's arm tightly to avoid falling behind.
When they arrived at the safe mountain village, Cui Erniang's tense spirit relaxed a little, and she suddenly felt exhausted. She had just rested for a while on the mountain, and her strength had not yet recovered. She was told that she needed to go down the mountain to escape.
She couldn't even run.
Cui Erniang wanted to speak, just like when she escaped from Dongwu City, and let her followers carry them on their backs.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the words of Princess Zhongshan.
The princess ordered in a deep voice, "Xiang Qi, help the Wei clan escort the people down the mountain. We only need one person to stay here."
Wei Langjun only brought five people back. There were many zombies at the foot of the mountain. If they got separated again, the people would probably lose their lives.
Xiang Qi hesitated, somewhat worried about the princess. In the eyes of the five of them, the princess's safety was the most important. He said, "It's better for the others to stay with the princess. The people will follow on their own."
Princess Zhongshan shook her head and said, "I will stay among the people then, and you will just wait around me."
Only then did Xiang Qi accept the order.
Cui Erniang's words were suddenly blocked. She was the princess's cousin, but these followers only had eyes for the princess. The words had already been given, and she was afraid that no one would pay attention to her even if she spoke again.
Cui Erniang couldn't understand why the princess, who had been kind to her, seemed to have suddenly become a different person since the disaster, and even said that she would abandon her.
Before she could sort out her thoughts, everyone in the village had already packed up.
Wei Li waited anxiously outside. When he saw everyone coming out, he immediately led the way and prepared to take everyone to the opposite forest.
Unexpectedly, when they reached halfway up the mountain, Wei Li's face suddenly changed drastically.
The zombie army that had originally run far away suddenly returned, and some monsters began to stagger up the path, and as the sky gradually darkened, their movement speed had obviously increased.
"What's going on?!" Wei Li felt like he was about to hold his breath, "Could it be that Cao Awang and the others are in trouble..."
Cao Awang, who was far away, was unharmed, but was now jumping around anxiously.
Who would have thought that there were survivors hiding in the east!
After finally changing the direction of the zombie tide, they ran into a few surviving local people. Seeing so many monsters, they were so scared that they ran around in panic and accidentally led the monsters back.
Cao Awang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Li Langjun and the others were still on the mountain. What should he do now?
