Wei Xiyin's heart remained calm as she asked calmly, "How many are there?"
The zombies were moving at any time, and she was mentally prepared.
Cuo County is located to the east of Yongnian County. It enters Qinghe territory from Anping County. To the left is Wei's Fort in Ling County, and to the right is Cuo County. The outermost village in Cuo County extends to the end of the Crow Mountain Range.
The reason why we planned to search Cuo County last was because there were no relatives of the Wei family there.
Zhang Qi paused. The girl's reaction was so calm that he hesitated and replied, "Looking at the scale, around 5,000?"
The zombies were scattered one after another from a distance, and their number could only be estimated roughly.
Chu Yu's reaction after hearing this was also very calm. He said calmly: "The number is not bad. We can deal with a small-scale zombie wave. There are chevaux de frise at the edge of Ling County. Those monsters have no intelligence, and the chevaux de frise can hold them off for a while."
The so-called chevaux de frise are made of wood and bamboo. They have a simple production process and can be reused repeatedly. They were used as a barrier when attacking Ling County to stop all the zombies.
Afterwards, the fortress manufactured barricades in large quantities and placed them outside the walls, outside Yongnian County, and in the surrounding border areas.
Wei Xiyin nodded in agreement. She turned to Chang Ying and ordered, "Go back immediately to reorganize the manpower and dispatch 500 soldiers to the boundary marker of Cuo County."
"Yes!" Chang Ying clasped his fists and accepted the order. After thinking about it, he felt a little worried and said to Zhang Qi and others, "Protect the girl and Mr. Chu."
Zhang Qi agreed immediately.
After Chang Ying left, Wei Xiyin and Chu Yu planned to go over and take a look.
With no means of transportation, they had to rely on walking to get anywhere. Even if they walked quickly, it would still take an hour to get there from the county town. Zhang Qi and the others were sweating profusely, obviously having run all the way back after observing the zombie tide.
The scorching sun.
The grass and trees on the roadside all drooped their heads, their green leaves curled up, the water levels in some low-lying lotus ponds began to drop, and the weather seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
A group of people rushed towards Cuo County under the scorching sun.
Wei Xiyin touched the hat on her head and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Fortunately, she had the foresight to ask Ningshuang to make a sun hat, otherwise she would have gotten a few more degrees darker.
Halfway there.
Chu Yu's forehead began to sweat. He caught a glimpse of the strange-looking hat on her head and said quietly, "Five hundred moves against five thousand zombies, have you thought about how to deal with it, girl?"
"Sir, do you really think I don't know anything after being away for over a month?" Wei Xiyin snorted. "The blacksmith shop hasn't been idle this month, right? Why don't you tell me what Cousin Ting has been doing this month?"
Don't think she didn't notice, she kept staring at her hat, wanting something but not saying anything, what a tsundere Mr.
And at this time.
Chang Ying rushed back to the fort, and 500 guards were quickly assembled.
The armory is managed by Wei Ting. Except for the weapons and protective gear that have been issued by the camp, all other items must go through him.
Chang Ying found Wei Ting and explained his purpose. "Mr. Ting, a small wave of zombies has appeared in the direction of Cuo County. The girl ordered us to go to the boundary marker immediately to prepare for the cleanup."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ting stood up, took the key, walked out of the blacksmith shop and headed towards the armory, saying as he walked, "The power of the newly made single-wheeled fire chariot has not been tested yet. I will go out with you."
The fifth cousin had mentioned the firebox cart to him when they were making the crossbow cart, but the blacksmith shop now had few raw materials and lacked gunpowder to produce flying fire.
Wei Ting then settled for the next best thing and created a one-wheeled fire chariot by combining the crossbow cart with the true fire of the sun.
The "single-wheeled fire chariot" was once recorded in military books. The fortress had a huge collection of books, and it took him a lot of effort to find the relevant information.
The main consideration is that Yizhou is mountainous and a wheelbarrow is more convenient for transportation, so it can be carried even when walking on mountain roads in the future.
Everyone moved quickly.
On the drawbridge in front of the fort's gate, chariots were pushed out one after another, and the guards put on their equipment and filed out.
The girl and Mr. Chu must have gone there.
Chang Ying did not dare to delay and led 500 guards to push chariots and crossbow carts ahead.
Wei Ting was counting arrows and various supplies in the rear. After all, zombies appeared at the boundary marker where the two places intersected, and it would take time to go back and forth. Just like in a war, the food and grass in the rear had to keep up. As long as the war was not over, the power of the single-wheeled fire chariot could be seen even if it was delayed a while.
The distance between the two sides was almost the same. Chang Ying and others hurried all the way and arrived one after another with Wei Xiyin and others.
Like all counties, there are no obstructions on both sides of the boundary marker. Usually, there are ditches dug to divide the land, and there are endless fields on both sides.
A boundary marker is a type of border marker used to identify the location and direction of the border between one area and another. It is a marker erected jointly by two counties.
A small group of guards had been stationed there. Seeing them approach, they reported hurriedly, "Miss, we observed movement in the direction of Cuo County two hours ago. We then sent personnel across the boundary marker to Cuo County and confirmed that a small group of zombies was migrating towards Ling County."
Wei Xiyin raised her eyebrows and pointed across, "Look, I've seen it."
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger. The zombie tide in the distance was already looming, and a huge army of human heads appeared in everyone's sight.
The zombies wandered aimlessly. Although they were migrating here, they were not moving very fast because there were no living people to attract them. They even changed direction halfway through their wandering.
For example, the zombie tide in the distance was obviously deviating from their current location in a straight line and was on the left side.
Seeing this situation, Wei Xiyin didn't even need to give any orders.
