Wei Xiyin and her group set out on their journey home. She walked at the front of the team and killed zombies indiscriminately to vent her emotions.
Wei Lang was confused, but seeing his sister working so hard to kill the monster, he rushed forward excitedly, holding up the long tasseled spear in his hand, "Sister, let me help you!"
The brother and sister killed monsters and cleared the way ahead, and the guards couldn't stop them.
Seeing this, Chang Ying had no choice but to follow the two of them carefully, always paying attention to the movements around him.
The group braved the wind and snow, pushing hundreds of carts of food, clearing out the zombies along the way as they hurried on. The sky and the earth were already a vast expanse of white, and the thick snow on the ground was like a mirror, extremely dazzling.
After looking for a long time, Wei Lang felt discomfort in his eyes and blinked desperately, but it seemed to be of no use.
"Close your eyes and rest for a while." Wei Xiyin noticed her brother's abnormality and hurried over to cover his eyes.
The reflectivity of the ice surface can cause temporary blindness. She noticed that many of the guards around her were experiencing the same symptoms as Wei Lang. She instructed, "If you feel any discomfort in your eyes, close your eyes and rest where you are. Don't try to be stubborn."
The guards hurriedly did as they were told.
Due to various reasons such as weather and route, the journey back took longer than the journey here.
Three days later, the group arrived in Ling County, which was less than twenty miles away from the fort.
When passing through the county town, Wei Xiyin discovered that there seemed to be more zombies nearby.
They took the mountain road when they went out and didn't know the situation here, but there were no other villages nearby, and the nearest village in Ling County was five miles away.
It was cold outside and everyone was eager to go home. Wei Xiyin was too lazy to investigate the situation in Ling County. She only ordered them to speed up and try to get back to the fort before dark.
However, the closer she got to the dock, the more she realized something was wrong.
Not far away, hordes of zombies were staggering towards them. The number of them was staggering. Logically, there shouldn't be so many zombies.
Wei Xiyin soon found out about the situation.
The guard who had gone out to explore the way returned and immediately reported to her in a hurry: "Miss, Yongning County has been breached, and a large number of zombies have poured out."
How to describe her feelings when she heard the news?
Everything seems to be reasonable, yet unexpected.
As winter approaches, zombies become stronger. Many survivors choose to take a gamble and flee in panic due to lack of food or supplies, or because their hiding places have been breached by zombies.
Whether it is Dongwu County where Princess Zhongshan was previously located, or Yongning County today, the two are probably in the same situation.
The speed of zombies at night is amazing, so it is not surprising that they can wander around here.
Wei Xiyin’s first reaction was, would the fall of Yongning County have any impact on the fort?
The answer is...yes!
Yongning County of Anping County is the junction of the two counties. It is only a few miles away from the fortress to the south, and is also the only way to enter Qinghe County from Anping.
If the gates of Yongning County were open, the zombies would continue to flow into Qinghe through the county.
The Wei family fort, which is the closest to the city, will be the first to face the impact of these monsters.
The most worrying and puzzling thing is that these zombies seem to be evolving. If left unchecked, who knows how far they will evolve in the future, and whether the fort will still be able to withstand these zombies by then...
Wei Xiyin took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back to the fort first. We'll discuss this matter with my grandfather later."
"yes!"
And inside the dock, in the old house.
Wei Ji lay on the couch, coughing from time to time. He looked much more haggard than before.
The temperature outside dropped sharply. Wei Ji was covered with thick bedding. There were two braziers in the corner of the room for heating, burning high-quality pine charcoal.
Wei Zhongxun sat aside with a worried look on his face.
A few days ago, the younger generation caught some pheasants and laid a lot of eggs. Today, he brought a chicken and a basket of eggs to the house and gave them to Uncle Wu to give to his eldest brother to replenish his body.
After a while.
Wei Ji slowly opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly to look at him, and said, "According to the date, Wu Niang and the others should be back soon, right?"
Wei Zhongxun tucked in the corner of the quilt that was leaking out. "That should be the case. When Wu Niang and the others return with the herbs, your illness will soon be cured."
Wei Ji knew very well that there were no medicinal herbs.
The third brother was stubborn and conservative, and he was not in good health, so Wei Ji did not tell him that he was going to break into the granary to transport grain.
If Wu Niang's trip goes smoothly, the food she brings back will be enough for the tribe to survive the entire winter.
Although he understood it in his heart, he did not say it out loud. Once Wei Zhongxun learned the truth, he would probably send people out to look for medicinal herbs immediately. Now there was overwhelming wind and snow outside, and the main force of the fort was not there. Going out at this time would be simply seeking death.
We can't let any more sacrifices be made in the clan because of him.
Wei Ji coughed twice more before speaking, "Now that the clan is relatively stable, and the members are gradually recovering from the grief of losing their loved ones, you should give more guidance to the younger generations in Mingjing Hall and strive to be fair and just. Only by uniting as one can the Wei clan overcome this crisis."
"My cousin saved it." Wei Zhongxun didn't think too much about it and responded subconsciously.
"My grandchildren are still young, but they are all good kids. They are also the hope of the family's future. Learning to read and understand the truth is a good thing, but in this world, studying alone is useless. When Chang Ying and Qin Shan come back, I will let them teach my young masters martial arts..."
"There are also Wuniang and Erlang. Wuniang is extremely intelligent, so I'm not too worried about her. I'm just worried that the clan will make things difficult for the child because of her female identity." Wei Ji sighed, "It's the world that has bound her, it's not her fault."
