The zombie tide was cleared out.
Wei Xiyin and others stayed where they were to rest for a day, and the next day they followed the Wei family army deep into Anping County to look for a new wave of zombies.
To say it was deep into the country actually meant entering a few county towns near Qinghe County and Zhongshan State.
Yizhou State and County, Jiujiu, Anping County has ten county towns under its jurisdiction.
Many of the mountains in the territory are connected to the Zhongshan Kingdom, and its territory is vast. If we really want to conduct an in-depth search, it will probably take several months.
So they only swept away the zombie tides near Qinghe County and Zhongshan Kingdom to eliminate the hidden dangers in winter.
It is September now, and the scorching heat remains unabated.
Walking on the official road, there is desolation everywhere, dilapidated villages, barren fields, dried-up streams... Wherever you look, there is dead silence and hopelessness.
The army continued to advance, and saw that the once prosperous city had become a ruin. The open city gates were rusted and covered with dark red marks left by blood. Houses were leaning or collapsed, and messy items were covered in dust...
Although we are used to such scenes, the marching team was inexplicably filled with a sad atmosphere.
But they soon ran out of time to be sentimental.
A new wave of zombies has been spotted ahead...
In the next few days.
Wei Mingyuan, Shi Le and others moved around other county towns and found three larger zombie hordes.
Or clean in batches according to the previous method.
The soldiers of the right vanguard battalion have already figured out the tricks and are gradually becoming adept at making defensive lines, making fuses, burying small black balls, and so on.
During this time, they walked to the other side of the mountain and found two villages where survivors gathered.
The village is halfway up the mountain, with only two narrow paths leading up the mountain. The villagers built rows of fences at the foot of the mountain to specifically intercept zombies.
These survivors were relatively lucky as there was a deep pool behind the village that was not affected by pollution and drought, ensuring their daily water supply.
But during the dry season, supplies were extremely scarce and food was seriously insufficient. When Wei Xiyin and his men broke in, the villagers had already started to eat tree bark for a living.
Zhongshan State lacked people and labor.
General Chen was overjoyed, but before he could say anything, Miss Wei waved her hand and ordered everyone to be taken back to the fort.
Wei Xiyin said calmly, "General Chen, please move faster next time."
Anping County is located between the two places, so of course whoever grabs it will own it.
Feeding tens of thousands of people is a burden for the fort, but converting people into labor can also create more value for the fort.
The food currently brought back from the granary is sufficient. As long as the harvest keeps up with consumption within two years, the food problem can be solved.
The key lies in the spring after winter.
By then everything will be revived and plants will grow rapidly...
Wei Xiyin was confident about the arrival of spring and the grain production in the fort, after all, Ji Xiaopang, Tenth Cousin and others were there.
General Chen was helpless. He thought he was thick-skinned enough, but who would have thought that Miss Wei was even worse than him.
The group stayed in Anping for a few more days until the explosives ran out and no more trace of the zombie tide was found.
Wei Mingyuan and others led their troops back and joined the main force.
Wei Xiyin waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about the remaining scattered zombies. We will return to the fort immediately."
After being away from home for many days, she missed her grandfather and younger brother a little.
During her time in the palace, Wei Xiyin had nothing better to do, so she ordered the palace maids to make her several sets of clothes. When she left, she packed them all into her trunk and also took some brocade and silk with her...
Those things were all obtained from Yuan Sanlang, so it would be a waste if I didn’t take them.
At worst, I can wait until the cloth workshop in the fort is completed and then find a chance to return it to the princess.
Although there is a huge difference in quality between coarse linen and the silk produced before the end of the world, we can make up for it with quantity.
………
The Wei family fort was close by, so the 10,000-man army went up Crow Mountain from Guanjin County and returned along the mountain road.
When they set out on the expedition, they carried a lot of supplies and walked slowly. Now, except for some weapons and protective gear, the supplies have been almost used up. With the weight reduced, they can't help but travel faster.
The vanguard camp was pushing a lot of food carts, but the mountain road was difficult to travel on, so they had dozens of people who took turns going forward and carrying the food to catch up.
On the third day.
The army left Anping County and arrived at the border of Qinghe County.
After walking in the mountains for another two days, high walls suddenly appeared on the mountain road ahead.
As long as you climb over the high wall, you can enter the territory of Wei's Fort.
After such a long absence, even the sight of the wall felt particularly familiar. The Wei family soldiers had only been at the fort a short time, but they had already developed a sense of belonging. Every time they went out, they actually missed the large bunk beds in the barracks...
The front team stopped at the foot of the wall and began to build wooden ladders.
Unexpectedly, just as he started to move, he heard a noise from the other side of the wall, followed by a rustling sound, and then a head appeared from above.
Wei Lang lay on the wall, trying to look down, and soon found his sister standing in the crowd.
The moment I saw my sister, all the grievances came to my mind.
"Sister, why didn't you take me with you when you went out?"
The child felt very aggrieved.
He finally finished interrogating the Heavenly Master and returned home from the research institute, only to discover that Sister and the others had all left. No one had informed him, leaving him alone in the fortress...
As he thought about it, Wei Lang's eyes turned red, and he felt that his sister didn't want him anymore.
Wei Xiyin felt something was wrong when she saw this, and immediately changed the subject, "Sister brought you gifts this time, new clothes..."
Wei Lang didn't respond, but continued to stare at her with a resentful look, as if he was not interested in the new clothes.
"Erlang, do you want to ride a horse? Don't you love playing with horses? How about I give you one later?" Wei Xiyin coaxed calmly.
