Everyone suddenly felt like they were facing a great enemy. The guards didn't dare to disperse. They gathered together in groups and stared vigilantly at the remaining zombies in the village.
Wei Xiyin was also shocked by this unexpected turn of events. After she came to her senses, she immediately ordered, "Don't go in yet. Everyone, retreat to the village entrance."
There's something wrong with this village.
She felt that things seemed to be out of control. The zombies that used to move slowly during the day suddenly became agile and even attacked people by surprise.
The horror of this incident was no less than when she first discovered the zombies.
The guards received the order and slowly retreated while scanning the zombies not far away. In less than a moment, everyone retreated to the village entrance in an orderly manner.
"What on earth is going on?" Qin Shan was still in shock. The zombies in this village were beyond their previous understanding.
Unfortunately, no one could answer this question for him.
It is almost the You hour and they don’t have much time left.
Wei Xiyin's heart was in turmoil. She tapped her fingers on the sword, her mind working frantically.
Now there are only two options.
One option is to retreat to the previous village and take a detour to go directly to the granary tomorrow. However, the journey will be longer, and if the same variables occur in the granary, they may need to spend more time and energy to plan a retreat.
The second option is to go directly into the village and find out what's going on before dark.
She really couldn't understand what caused these zombies to mutate a second time.
"Girl, should we order a detour?" Chang Ying saw that she had not said anything, so he could only ask.
Wei Xiyin shook her head and decisively chose the first path, "We can't take a detour."
Changlan Village is the village closest to the granary. Their one hundred wooden oxen and flowing horses can only transport a maximum of 5,000 buckets of grain, which is only enough for the tribe to survive for another three months.
According to Wei Xiyin's idea, since they have chosen to take action, it would be better to empty the granary directly. If they cannot transport it back in one go, they can transport it in batches.
Changlan Village is a very large village and is an excellent place to store grain. Grain can be transported out of the granary and temporarily stored here, and then transported back to the fort in batches later.
As long as you are careful and cautious, there will not necessarily be casualties.
Qin Shan lifted his eyelids to take a look at her expression, then said carefully, "From what I've just observed, although the zombies have suddenly become faster, they're still very easy to deal with, and they're not as strong as the zombies at night."
"The zombie was killed by the girl. Did you feel any difference?" Chang Ying also asked.
Wei Xiyin was stunned. She thought about it carefully and said, "It seems to be no different. Just like other zombies, they die when the sword is stabbed into the brain."
Qin Shan expressed his thoughts, "In my opinion, the reason we were ambushed just now was mainly because the guards underestimated the zombies that appeared during the day."
Everyone had killed zombies many times and was not afraid of the slow-moving zombies during the day. In their stereotype, those zombies were very easy to kill, which led to the guards being ambushed due to their carelessness.
"Now that we are on guard, it should not be difficult to clear out these zombies during the day." Qin Shan and Wei Xiyin had the same idea. They could not take a detour, as this would affect morale.
Having come this far, although they did not say it explicitly, many guards also understood the real purpose of their trip.
Wei Xiyin took a deep breath, and after a moment, she made a decision. She solemnly ordered, "Quickly regroup the team, form groups of ten, and lure the zombies out. Make sure to clear them out before nightfall."
Qin Shan\u0026Chang Ying: "Yes!"
After receiving the order, the two men each led a team to stand at the entrance of the village. Some guards began to deliberately make noise, trying to lure the zombies in the village to the entrance.
The two teams guarding the village entrance remained vigilant, and with their swords in hand, they dealt with every enemy that came out.
This time everyone noticed.
There were a few scattered monsters that suddenly sped up when approaching living people, and pounced on the nearest person with their bloody mouths wide open. Those zombies also seemed to be much stronger than the other zombies.
This time the guards were on guard and used their halberds to hold the body against the enemy to prevent them from getting closer. Several people worked together to remove his head.
The situation did not seem as serious as they had expected. Apart from being a little faster, these zombies were still very easy to deal with.
Wei Xiyin stared intently. The zombie outbreak near Qingyang County should have occurred later than theirs. At least the torsos of these zombies were still very fresh, and the blood stains that spurted out were still red.
So the virus evolved? The one that mutated later is stronger?
Of course, it is also possible that the virus becomes active during the day due to the colder weather and less sunlight.
But at the moment these "maybes" are just speculation.
Wei Xiyin was wondering in her heart, should she go back and find a zombie to lock up and study?
Because most of the zombies outside the fort were relatives, she didn't dare to bring it up before. She was unsure if her grandfather and the clan would agree if she brought it up now...
Seeing that it was getting dark, they waited for a while, but no more zombies came out of the village. In just one hour, they killed more than 300 zombies.
Wei Xiyin counted the heads silently, feeling that something was not right.
Changlan Village is such a big village, it is impossible that there are only so few people. Where did the rest of the people go?
For safety reasons, she pointed to the nearest mud house and said, "Let's stay at the house at the entrance of the village tonight."
There is open space around the earthen house. The village entrance is right outside and there are field ridges behind it, so you can retreat in time if you encounter danger.
Chang Ying and Qin Shan nodded in agreement.
Then the guards went into the village in groups of four to search for any escaped prisoners. After what had just happened, no one dared to be careless anymore.
