Chapter 208: Gentlemen (Part 9)



Wei Lang and the others are here.

The scouts who were exploring the way soon discovered that the marks left by the two gentlemen at the intersection were still there. The dead branches placed in a conspicuous place remained as they were, and there was no other information left nearby.

The scouts quickly concluded that no one was coming from the border.

This means that the lost men did not enter Guang'a County at all and were most likely still staying in Gaoyi.

The group wandered at the boundary marker for many days, anxiously waiting for the zombie horde to leave, wanting to enter Gaoyi County to look for people.

On the sixth day after they arrived at the boundary marker.

The good news is that they waited for the zombie tide to move.

The bad news is that the zombie tide is heading towards Guang'a County.

And it happened at night.

As usual, the troops had already retreated two miles away, and even spent the night more than three miles away, for fear of being discovered by the zombie army.

The battle-hardened guards already knew that the zombies were beginning to weaken, but there were only three hundred of them. It would be okay if they could run fast during the day, but it would still be very dangerous to meet them at night.

Wei Lang's biological clock has always been very accurate, and he goes to bed on time every day.

With guards guarding them, the three cousins ​​lay together and slept soundly.

Until night.

The scout suddenly returned and reported to the three centurions in a hurry, "We have detected that the zombie tide has begun to move and is heading this way."

Everyone was shocked and quickly woke up the three gentlemen.

"Give the order, pack up and we'll leave immediately!"

Wei Lang was woken up. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, but did not move for a long time. The child had not slept well and was still in a daze.

Wei Da and Wei He quickly pulled their brother up, put his long tasseled spear in his hand, and ran away with his men.

It is impossible to return, they still need to find someone.

Centurion Yan immediately made a decision, "Let's go to Jingwu County and see if we can get around to Gaoyi from the right."

He remembered that there were several steep mountains over there, which could be bypassed by going under the cliffs on the mountain road, but there seemed to be only trees and rocks below. They were pushing dozens of wooden oxen and horses, and they didn't know if they could get through.

The road over there is not very accessible.

This is also the reason why they initially stayed in Guang'a County and did not choose any other path.

The other two centurions did not object.

There is no better way at the moment. They have been out for a long time, and the girl is probably about to come back from the iron mine. If there is still no news from the men, the girl may not be able to hide it anymore.

By the time the elders in the fort know that the gentlemen are missing, I'm afraid the situation will become even more chaotic.

So they must find the gentlemen as soon as possible.

The group did not hesitate and moved at night.

Hundreds of soldiers walked in front to clear the way. The zombies at night were very agile and came too fast. They hurried all the way to Jingwu County.

The place Captain Yan pointed out was the cliff below Gaoyi Longhu Village.

After resting for several days, Wei Li's health gradually improved. Without any news from his cousins, he didn't dare to delay any longer and prepared to leave...

Qin Shan, on the other hand, chose the opposite direction from them and headed towards Linping County.

The temperature is getting higher and higher.

The sun was scorching, the ground was baking, and the air was still sultry under the scorching sun.

The streams along the way gradually dried up, and the ponds along the way were stagnant, revealing the silt underneath.

The day Wei Xiyin returned from Fuyang.

Wei Lang and others arrived at the border of Jingwu County at the same time and confirmed that the bottom of the cliff was full of rocks, and the wooden ox and flowing horse could not pass through, and the water bags they brought were almost empty.

To gather information and find water.

Finally, the three centurions made a decision that the soldiers would stay in Jingwu County, and the two hundred soldiers would be divided into three groups, walking under the cliff into Gaoyi County. The two teams would search for people, find water sources and gather information.

The other team returned to Guang'a County to investigate the movements of the zombie tide and the messages left by the people of Guang'a County.

When Wei Lang heard that the centurion would not take him with him, he pouted and was very unhappy. He wanted to go too!

He wanted to find his cousins ​​first.

Wei Da and Wei He quickly grabbed the man, coaxed him in a gentle tone, and explained to him over and over again.

The troops need to consider their safety.

The cousins ​​haven’t been found yet, and the three of them can’t get lost again.

To this day.

After clearing out the nearby monsters, the guards fell to the ground covered in sweat and exhausted. Some of them took off their outer clothes and wrung them casually, and sweat dripped down.

Wei Lang said aggrievedly: "Why didn't my cousin let me go? If my sister were here, she would definitely agree to let me go."

Wei Da explained again, "The guards are out looking for water and information, and we're looking for someone. We can't get involved and cause trouble."

Wei Lang pouted and defended himself, "I didn't cause any trouble."

He straightened his back and said with pride, "I was the first to discover my brothers."

Wei Da nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Er Lang is the most powerful, but Wei He and I still have to rely on you for protection. What will we do if you leave?"

Wei Lang looked hesitant when he heard this, and felt that what he said seemed to make sense.

His two cousins ​​still rely on him for protection.

He turned his head and made a difficult decision, "Okay, I have to stay and protect you."

Wei He was amazed in his heart, thinking that his cousin Da was really amazing. After just a short time of traveling together, he had already learned Captain Yan's tricks of coaxing children.

"Gentlemen," Captain Yan said at the right moment, "I've been out for so long. Should I send someone back to the fort to let the young lady know that she's safe?"

If there is no news for a long time, the girl will definitely be worried.

Wei Da and Wei He nodded in agreement.

"We should indeed send someone back to report the news. We can't let the elders at home and my fifth cousin worry."
