The earth is ruled by severe cold.
White snowflakes fell from the sky and the cold wind blew across the desolate land.
Wherever he passed, there was dead silence.
After a night's rest, Wei Xiyin and others continued on their journey.
The horses were wrapped tightly, revealing only their heavy steps and shining eyes.
The scouts set out a little earlier than them, and no news has been received yet.
Two days later, the team arrived in Dai County in the severe winter.
Not long after they set out yesterday, they found an abandoned carriage at the bottom of a field. They walked up to try it out and found that one of the wheels was broken, but the carriage was intact. The body of the carriage was a bit old, but fortunately it could still provide shelter from the wind and snow.
The team stopped for a while, the guard skillfully repaired the wheel and asked the girl to rest in the car.
Everyone has been working hard these days, but the girl is the master after all, and she is a woman. She doesn't feel anything when she has to march hard on foot with the team every day, but the subordinates under her feel bad.
Wei Xiyin nodded when she heard that, took her brother into the car, and turned around to invite Gong Chun and Dong Zhiyao.
The four of them got into the car to avoid the wind and snow.
Bubai and Buhei were pulling a carriage in the middle of the team, followed by the female army.
The women's army is currently participating in the zombie cleanup work along the way. With Dong Zhiyao's guidance, the cooperation of the guards, and so many strange and unique equipment, they have not suffered any casualties so far.
After driving for another half a day, the scouts finally found a place that met the girl's requirements - Dai County, Lingqiu County.
The scout rode back and reported, "My lady, the gates of Lingqiu County are closed. There are figures patrolling on the city walls. This must be where the local people are gathering."
"This is just a coincidence. If we remove the word 'Qiu', we can just pretend that we are celebrating the New Year in Ling County." Wei Xiyin immediately decided on this.
Gong Chun raised his eyes, "Girl wants to force it?"
The city gate is impregnable and it is difficult to break in by force. If you are not careful, casualties may occur.
Unless they bring out the bomb.
But once the city gate is destroyed, the county town will no longer be safe, and the explosion is likely to alert zombies within dozens of miles.
If this is really the case, then the local survivors must be extremely unlucky to have encountered them.
Wei Xiyin remained calm. "No, let them open the city gates themselves. If they're easy to talk to, I'll let them stay until the New Year. If they're not, that's fine. I won't talk to them either."
She didn't say how to get those people to open the city gate.
They encountered very few survivors along the way.
It was freezing and snowy outside, and monsters might suddenly appear. Many people who had stored enough food and supplies in the summer would not go out and wander around.
Before, we encountered two groups of vicious criminals outside. We failed to rob them but ended up giving them a pile of wood.
Gong Chun understood, "Is the girl trying to lure me with food?"
"How can you say it's baiting?" Wei Xiyin disagreed with his words and corrected him righteously, "The food is originally ours. This is at most a sting operation."
"As long as the other party doesn't have bad intentions, we can naturally negotiate."
Grab a piece of land to celebrate the New Year.
This idea was proposed by Gong Chun herself, she was just the decision maker.
They are carrying so much food and supplies, so they must be on guard against others.
Gong Chun remained silent.
The team marched into Lingqiu County in a swagger.
The sound of horse hooves raised snowflakes, which spread far away in the empty and silent snowfield.
Wei Xiyin ordered them to be stationed outside the county town, far enough for the people on the city wall to see their movements clearly.
Before long, the prototype of the camp was completed.
The female soldiers started to make a fire and cook.
As the sky darkened, the aroma of food wafted from outside the city.
The aroma was mixed with the smell of oil; the guards were frying meat.
The meat was smoked meat and sausages that I brought with me. There wasn't much of it, and I didn't want to eat it along the way. I wanted to save it for the guards to enjoy during the New Year.
But now, you can eat two pieces to taste it.
When the fried bacon and sausage were put into the pan, they were still sizzling with oil, and the tempting aroma quickly spread.
The figure upstairs smelled the fragrance coming over and swallowed unconsciously.
When they heard the sound of horse hooves just now, everyone on the city wall was startled and immediately ran into the city to report.
Horses, winter travel, long trains of supplies...
Each one of them is shocking enough when taken alone.
Everyone knows how dangerous it is outside in winter.
The team outside was actually traveling with so many horses in winter. Those were horses. There were no horses left in the entire Dai County. Not only that, they also took out food in a swaggering manner.
The first reaction of the people on the city wall was that this team was very powerful and they were not someone they could afford to provoke.
The person who went down to report had not returned yet, and the remaining people on the city wall could only watch as this team of more than 2,000 people came to the foot of the city wall and started to make a fire and fry meat.
It was snowing hard outside, and the fragrance was blown away before it even reached me.
Most of the people were ordinary people who had not eaten meat for a long time before the disaster. Looking at the greasy meat, the people upstairs could already imagine the taste, and they couldn't stop drooling. They could only roll their throats and swallow their saliva.
The people inside received the news quickly.
"Survival in the winter is not easy, so let's not cause trouble."
"Yes, those people knew there were people in the city, so they didn't disturb us. They probably just wanted to stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Where there are survivors gathering, it means there are very few monsters nearby.
Travelers would rest outside the city, which they thought was a wise choice.
"So we'll just wait for them outside? We'll just ignore them?"
"Dashan just came back and said they seem to have some meat left and are cooking bacon rice at the door..."
Everyone was silent.
After a moment, the person who seemed to be the leader said, "Don't think about it. This only means that the team is very strong. They have horses and meat, and they dare to travel in winter. It's best not to provoke them."
Some people were also surprised, "They are setting off at this time. Are they planning to go to Kyoto?"
The leader glared at the person who spoke and said, "It's none of our business. Just mind your own business."
The rest of the people shut up awkwardly.
Outside the city.
Wei Xiyin was eating a delicious rice dish made with pickled meat and sausage. When she finished eating, there was still no movement in the city.
She sighed, "There are still a lot of smart people in this world. Sometimes, dealing with smart people is so easy, but sometimes it's really annoying."
Compared with modern people, the ancients only had a different understanding of the world.
The level of education people receive varies greatly.
If we really compare IQ and political strategy, to put it bluntly, the time traveler who doesn't have the halo of the protagonist will be beaten.
Wei Xiyin ordered Chang Ying, "Go knock on the city gate and tell them that I'm weak and can't stand the strong wind outside, so we should stay in the city for one night."
Chang Ying: “…”
Isn’t the girl still praising the people in the city for being smart?
Now I say that I am weak and frail, but I dare to travel in winter. Will the people inside believe me?
But no matter what, the guards came to the city wall and knocked on the door.
