After early spring, the wind and snow gradually subsided.
Xing Shi, the general of the left vanguard camp stationed in Zhongshan State, received an order from His Majesty Zhongshan and led 10,000 soldiers out of his fiefdom to start a cleanup along Julu County.
The operation to recapture Yizhou officially began.
This winter was not too difficult for everyone in Wei's Fortress.
There is enough food and supplies. Even ordinary residents can get enough food to support the entire winter after a year of work.
It's freezing outside.
The firewood in every household was burning vigorously, and people stayed in their comfortable and warm houses, not going out.
We spent the winter in comfort.
All things gradually recover and the temperature slowly rises.
People began to go out, and Mingjingtang began to prepare for spring sowing and other matters.
The importance of spring sowing cannot be overstated.
Whether this year’s production can keep up depends entirely on this time.
The people who were allocated land began to care about the harvest from their own fields, and the first thing they did when they went out was to go up the mountain to check the crops.
The crops are kept alive by the warm sheds during the winter, but the quality of the harvest will only be known after a few days of rapid spring growth when the plants are ready to be harvested.
After the harvest, spring seeds must be sown immediately to store enough food for this year before summer arrives.
The Wei family soldiers stationed in the fort took turns going out to the neighboring counties and prefectures to continue searching for uncontaminated fields. The more fields they found, the better the harvest this year would be.
Xie Ruian came out of the dock with a stack of information, planning to go to Shilin Village.
The temperature is too low and the monsters become stronger.
Mr. Chu was worried about the mutated zombies in Shilin Village, so not long after the girl left, he went to Shilin Village before the heavy snow came.
He didn't come back for the entire winter.
The same was true for Mr. Qu. He was busy producing the little black balls, so he had to stay in Shilin Village. He also didn't even come back for the New Year dinner.
They were not the only ones who did not return, there were also people working in the county town.
Including Wei Ting, everyone stayed in the county town to celebrate the New Year.
Xie Ruian walked and looked.
Although the wind and snow had stopped, the snow on the road had not melted yet, and the road was still covered in white.
But more people were walking on the official road.
Construction work has officially begun on the resettlement village located between the dock and the county seat.
The bricklayer and his fellow craftsmen lifted the tarpaulin, shook off the snow on it, revealing the building materials that had been stored in advance, and began to build houses for the Wei family soldiers and civilians who had not been allocated houses.
There is a vibrant scene everywhere.
Xie Ruian greeted the people he knew with a smile and quickly walked to Shilin Village.
The guard on duty let her in, thinking she was here to ask Cookie about the mutant zombie, so he said, "Mr. Qu is in the room. I heard that he made a new discovery during his last experiment and is researching something new."
As for what they were researching, the guards had no idea.
All I know is that Mr. Qu went back to the next door laboratory with shining eyes, and he had to be urged many times before he would come out for dinner.
"I'm here to see Mr. Chu from my family." Xie Ruian said with a smile.
"Mr. Chu?" The guard was stunned. "He didn't come."
The smile on Xie Ruian's face disappeared immediately, and his eyes widened, "Isn't he here?"
Impossible!
The guard scratched his head, and seeing her expression become uncertain, he said hesitantly, "I haven't seen Mr. Chu come here. How about you go in and ask Mr. Qu?"
Xie Ruian had a bad feeling in his heart, and without bothering to talk to the guard, he hurried in to look for Cookie.
Cookie was in the room, busy taking notes and recalculating the dosage.
Last time, I accidentally changed the dosage and ended up creating a new type of ammunition. It is more powerful than the small black ball, but the sound is muffled and not as loud as the small black ball.
Cookie was very excited because the recipe for the little black balls was given by the girl.
He discovered this himself.
How can they be the same!
"Mr. Qu!" Xie Ruian was in a hurry and didn't control his strength, so there was a knock on the door.
Cookie's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he felt a little unhappy.
But when he heard Xie Ruian's anxious voice outside, he felt that something big must have happened, and reluctantly got up to open the door for her.
As soon as the door opened.
Xie Ruian didn't bother to greet him and asked hurriedly, "Have you seen Mr. Chu?"
Cookie felt relieved. It turned out that they were looking for Chu Yu. He thought something had happened.
Cookie shook his head. "I stayed in Shilin Village for the entire winter and didn't even go home. How could I have seen him?"
Xie Ruian's face turned pale when he heard this. "But... Mr. Chu said he was worried about the mutated zombies here, so he came to check it out. He hasn't returned to the fort all winter."
If people didn’t come to Shilin Village, where would they go?
Could something unexpected have happened?
Cookie was also very surprised when he heard this, "Did he really say that?"
"But he has definitely never been here. Is it possible that he went to the county town?" He has been guarding Shilin Village. If Chu Yu came here, he would definitely know.
According to Chu Yu's style of doing things, this shouldn't happen.
Ling County is very safe. Even if you go out in winter, you won’t encounter any danger. How could someone disappear for no reason?
Left by yourself?
But isn’t Chu Yu’s mother still in the dock?
Where could he go? To find a girl?
Cookie was full of questions and couldn't help asking, "When was the last time you saw him?"
Xie Ruian was a little uneasy and replied honestly, "Not long after the girl left, was it the third or fifth day? I can't remember clearly."
Cookie pondered.
"Since Mr. Chu is not here, I'll go to Ling County first!" Xie Ruian turned around and prepared to go to the county town to find someone.
Cookie stopped her and said, "Let the guards go. You wait here for news. If Mr. Chu is really missing, it's best not to make a big fuss about looking for him. Return to the fort and report first."
