To Chang Ying's surprise, it was Chu Yu who was waiting for them at the research institute.
"Mr. Chu didn't sleep all night?"
Chu Yu's expression was calm, and he replied simply but with a hint of shock: "Yu has only been here for a short time. Commander Chang, please bring your men with you."
He led the people inside.
On both sides of the passage, the doors of the houses where the zombies were imprisoned were all open.
Chu Yu said, "Recently, the zombies have been changing almost daily. You just need to be aware of the current changes, but don't underestimate the enemy, and don't take what you see now as the final conclusion."
Chang Ying nodded and said, "Sir, you are absolutely right. I will pass on the instructions."
The zombies in the cage became extremely active, and their originally shriveled bodies began to swell. After smelling the scent of a large number of living people, they collectively became manic, ramming the cage frantically and roaring non-stop.
The scene before me is completely different from that in summer.
Chang Ying frowned slightly, picked up the long tasseled spear in his hand, and stabbed the spear head straight into the zombie's shoulder.
He pushed hard against the weapon, testing the zombie's strength. "Compared to last winter, it seems to be a little weaker."
"Of course it is. We've only been in winter for a few days, so it's not the coldest period yet." Chu Yu continued calmly, "But during the coldest period last year, everyone was trapped in the fort and didn't fight the zombies at that time."
Chang Ying nodded.
The centurions and thousand-man commanders who followed him in entered different rooms to check. They all tried to test the zombies' strength and had an idea in their minds.
Some of the guards were new recruits who joined the tribal camp in the summer and had never fought against winter zombies. Only after trying it out could the centurions adjust their formation according to the zombies' combat effectiveness.
If you encounter zombies outside, they will only be stronger than this.
To avoid casualties, we must be cautious.
It’s getting late.
Chang Ying clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Take care, sir. We will return to the camp to make arrangements."
Chu Yu was silent for a moment before he said, "It is you, Commander Chang, who needs to take care of yourself. I hope everyone can return safely as soon as possible."
Chang Ying was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Of course."
Everything is ready at the camp, and the drawbridge of the fort was lowered earlier than usual today.
Because Wei Ting is here.
It's still dark now.
Wei Ting, with his head covered in snow, pushed a batch of modified crossbows into the camp.
When he saw Chang Ying, he said, "This batch of Shenbi crossbows was only recently produced. I have tried them. They have a longer range and greater lethality." Fearing casualties, he could only work hard on the equipment.
Wei Ting hasn't had much rest these days.
Thinking that his fifth cousin was going to Kyoto in winter, he went into the study again to search and look for a weapon that was easy to carry and extremely lethal.
Compared with ordinary crossbows, the Shenbi crossbow is smaller and more exquisite. It is like a bow with a rotating stirrup, which is lifted off the ground and pulled apart. It can shoot three hundred steps and penetrate heavy objects. It is called the Shenbi crossbow.
It can penetrate heavy armor, which shows its power.
Of course, this is within the effective range.
Wei Ting handed the things over to Chang Ying, "There are more than 10,000 crossbow arrows. Don't worry about it outside. It's best to recycle them directly."
Chang Ying thanked him.
Wei Ting was not in a hurry to leave, and waited for his fifth cousin to come to the camp.
At this time, Dong Zhiyao and Gong Chun were also ready.
The two of them came out of the courtyard, carrying the same backpack, nodded to each other, and walked towards the camp together.
Dong Zhiyao had only been in the fort for a few days, and he hadn't figured out who his neighbors were yet. He only knew that those living near him seemed to be Wei Wuniang's capable advisers.
As for Gong Chun, apart from meeting once at the patriarch's succession ceremony, they had no other interactions on a daily basis.
Dong Zhiyao was a little surprised to see that he, with his frail appearance, was going to Kyoto with them.
Dong Zhiyao thought for a moment, stopped, and walked in the opposite direction.
Gong Chun glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, and went straight to the camp.
The biting cold wind was blowing, and the sky and the earth were covered in white.
The servants who were clearing the snow in the dock have come to the street and started clearing the road.
Dong Zhiyao walked quickly, stopped in front of a mansion and knocked on the door.
After a while, there was a rustling sound from inside the door.
The door opened.
The person who opened the door was a servant of Wei Xiyao's family.
Wei Wenyang has been feeling unwell recently and has caught a cold. The child has been weak and sickly since childhood. The uncles and aunts in Mingjingtang are worried about him, so they arranged for two servants to come and help him temporarily.
When the servant saw that it was Master Dong coming, he hurried in to report.
When Wei Xiyao received the news, she quickly got up from the bed and hurried out wearing a cloak.
"Uncle Dong, is there something that brings you here so early?" It was still dark outside.
Dong Zhiyao was wearing a hat, so Wei Xiyao couldn't see his expression, but could only hear his voice.
"Miss Wei and I are going out for a few days. You don't have to come to see me recently." His voice was flat and seemed a little cold.
Wei Xiyao was stunned when she heard this. "It's snowing outside. Where are you going?"
Dong Zhiyao didn't answer, turned around and left.
There is no point in saying more, I just want to let them know so that they don’t get lost.
Old house.
Wei Xiyin had also gotten up. After packing up, she took her brother to the main courtyard to say goodbye to her grandfather.
The brother and sister knelt down and kowtowed.
Wei Xiyin straightened up and said solemnly: "My granddaughter will take my brother away. Grandfather, you must take care of yourself and wait for us to return safely."
Wei Ji lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
The atmosphere in the room was very heavy.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled and said as he always did when his granddaughter went out: "Go, come back soon."
