The dock was unusually lively on this day.
Some tribesmen who were still hesitant were instantly inspired to fight when they saw that even outsiders came to sign up.
How could the mighty Qinghe Wei family be outdone by this group of commoners? So everyone went to Mingjing Hall to register.
Mingjing Hall is where the clan handles miscellaneous affairs. After the elders pass away, several uncles of the Ming generation take over the management.
Wei Mingze sat at the desk registering the number of people, so busy that he didn't even have time to look up.
Wei Mingze didn't stop writing until the crowd in front of the door dispersed in the evening. He stood up, stretched his sore neck, and hurried to the old house with the list.
"Chief, there are more than one hundred clansmen who have signed up this time, and there are twenty-four people among the group of outsiders." In fact, there are more than that. For some people who did not meet the requirements, Wei Mingze directly drove them away without registering, such as Wei Ting.
Wei Ji took the long list with a look of relief. "Those people are very brave, and the younger generation of my Wei family is also valiant and heroic."
Wei Mingze also felt proud. The men of the Wei family were upright and fearless of life and death. There was no need to worry about the prosperity of the family.
Wei Ji put the manual down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Go get the key to the armory from Uncle Wu and let them choose the weapons they need. Treat the people who are willing to contribute to the Wei family equally."
Wei Mingze responded repeatedly: "Nephew, I understand."
The armory across the wall was bustling with people. As Uncle Wu opened the door of the armory, people lined up to enter the warehouse to choose.
The armory has always been an important place in the clan. Many members of the Wei family have never set foot there. Now everyone feels fresh and curious about everything they see, not to mention the common people who have just arrived at the fort.
The small warehouse was crowded with people, who were picking and choosing, holding each weapon in their hands to weigh it and try out the feel.
The common people stood aside, their attitude somewhat reserved. These people inside were all the young men of the Wei family. They were afraid of offending the nobles, so they all crowded at the door and did not dare to step forward to choose.
It was time for dinner and Wei Lang had just returned from the camp. Seeing how noisy it was next door, he ran over excitedly to join in the fun.
As soon as he entered, Wei Lang saw several tribesmen gathered around a row of daggers. He hurried forward and said, "Choose this, choose this."
As he spoke, he raised the long tasseled spear in his hand in front of the few people.
The tribesmen hadn't originally planned to use daggers, but were still discussing it. Upon hearing this, they smiled and said, "Okay, we'll listen to Erlang."
Wei Lang was delighted to hear this, and walked around the armory, asking everyone he met to take the same weapon as his.
The tribesmen also knew that Erlang had a childish nature, so most of them responded with a good temper.
In the end, almost everyone chose long weapons, with spears and halberds being the most popular.
The people waited until the people inside dispersed before they stepped forward. The long tasseled spears and long halberds were no longer available, so they chose the familiar spears in the corner.
Afterwards, the group headed towards the camp in a mighty procession.
Chang Ying and Qin Shan explained and demonstrated to everyone, mainly talking about the weaknesses of zombies and how to attack, how to dodge, avoid being scratched, etc.
During this period, the two repeatedly emphasized that if you see a familiar face of a tribe member in the zombie group, don't be distracted or hesitate, you must keep your mind calm and act without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the Wei family's sons fell silent.
In fact, the medical officer had already told them that their relatives had died long ago, and those outside... were just monsters in the bodies of their relatives. What they needed to do was to bury them as soon as possible.
After the explanation, more than 150 people were divided into two teams. Chang Ying and Qin Shan each led a team to conduct training.
According to the tribe leader's request, all personnel need to stay in the camp for three days of training to familiarize themselves with the weapons in their hands as soon as possible.

However, there were some problems at the blacksmith shop.
When Wei Xiyin came over again, the two blacksmiths in the shop were busy. The red-hot boiler was scorching hot. Iron and copper in different proportions were mixed and sent into the furnace for melting, and then poured into molds to cool and shape.
After the cooling time is over, take it out and grind the corners and do fine grinding.
The blacksmith handed the finished sample to Wei Xiyin for review.
The mask is very well made, with smooth lines, light and sturdy. Except for the eyes, the rest of the face is covered by the mask.
Wei Xiyin tried it on and didn't feel any discomfort. She could breathe smoothly and her vision was not affected.
This kind of mask is very simple to make. You just need to adjust the proportions and create a mold.
The problem lies with the armor.
The production process of chain mail is actually not difficult. The difficulty lies in the iron rings that are linked together. In order to be invulnerable to swords and guns, the iron rings must be tight and leave no marks. Relying solely on manual splicing is very slow.
So after a day, only half of the set of armor was made.
In addition, there are only two blacksmiths and only one furnace for firing and refining, so they are simply unable to handle the work.
Wei Xiyin thought of what her seventh uncle had said before, that there seemed to be a few craftsmen working as long-term workers in Wei Ting's family.
She went directly to Wei Ting's house.
The Wei Ting family's house is very large and is built with exceptional refinement and elegance. The courtyard is beautifully landscaped, and the rockery standing in the middle is magnificent.
Wei Xiyin had heard her grandfather mention that Wei Ting’s grandfather, her fifth great-uncle, was one of the five elders who had always been in charge of the family.
It is said that he is very good at business and his family is the richest in the clan. Whenever there is something happening in the clan, his family pays the biggest share.
Now he is the only one left in the Wei Ting family, but many servants in the family are still alive. For example, the servants in the old house today were all borrowed from the fifth house.
Hearing that she wanted craftsmen, Wei Ting quickly explained: "We do have craftsmen at home, three carpenters and a bricklayer."
