Xu Laoer's family and the three waiters in the restaurant were lucky. There was plenty of food in the pastry shop and the restaurant, and they had a safe place to hide.
The rest were not so lucky.
Two Yongning County residents whose hiding place was breached last night were shivering in the well.
Their bodies soaked in the cold well water and gradually lost consciousness. Cold, hunger, despair, and all kinds of emotions filled their minds.
If they don't find a solution, even if they are not killed by the monsters, they will freeze to death in the well.
The people who are still alive in the county town are all filled with endless despair. Some choose to give up their lives and commit suicide, while others are still struggling to survive for their loved ones.
"Listen up, people inside!" A voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
The sudden loud voice made everyone in the county freeze in place. The voice was not made by one person, but it sounded like hundreds of people were shouting at the same time.
"We are the troops of the Qinghe Wei clan, and we are here to rescue the people of Yongning County." The voices were uniform and loud.
The guards stood on a hillside, looking down at the people in the city, shouting, "The Wei family fort is safe now. We have plenty of food. If only the people would open the east gate and release the monsters inside, we can enter the city through the west gate and start a rescue!"
The shouts were like the Buddha's light, shining into the county town and bringing hope to people.
The people who heard these words breathed faster and their hearts beat faster.
As long as they open the east city gate... and release the zombies, the people from Qinghe Wei will come in to rescue them!
At this moment, those people who were originally in desperate situations suddenly received rescue and instantly burst out with a strong desire to survive.
Xu Laoer paused as he was opening the door, and said with slightly trembling lips, "Mother, did you hear that?" He was afraid that this was an auditory hallucination.
Wang hugged her son and burst into tears, "Wow...finally someone came to save us."
After confirming that it wasn't an auditory hallucination, Xu Laoer withdrew his hand, turned around and excitedly hugged his wife and children, "We're saved!"
The same thing happened to Zhang Gouzi. They were almost at the front hall door, but when they heard the shouting, they immediately retreated back to the cellar.
The Liu brothers were so excited that they were speechless, and Zhang Gouzi was more grateful than excited.
Almost all the residents in the city were from Anping County, but his family lived in a village under the jurisdiction of Anping County. To go home to find his relatives, he had to go through the east gate.
Regardless of whether the people from Wei's Fort came to rescue him, his original plan was to open the east gate and escape back home.
After hearing this news, some people may be too timid to come out and wait for rescue, but there will always be someone who chooses to step forward and open the door. Then he is not acting alone, and the danger is greatly reduced.
Zhang Gouzi decided to wait for a while, and the three of them changed their strategy and climbed to the third floor of the restaurant, intending to follow someone after seeing them.
However, they don’t know that many people have the same plan as them and are still waiting and watching.
After the shouting stopped, the people regained their senses after their excitement and began to ponder the words of the Wubao troops.
There were quite a few monsters at the city gate. For a moment, everyone was hoping for luck, thinking that someone would always go to open the door, so they might as well wait there.
Wait until the troops of Qinghe Wei come to rescue them.
Wei Xiyin and others waited for a full hour in the wind and snow.
Standing on the hillside, you can see the densely packed monsters on the streets of the city. The zombies move in a very regular pattern, chasing the sounds and breath of living people. But they observed for a long time and there was no movement inside. The zombies' route did not change at all.
Wei Xiyin sneered and signaled the guards to shout again.
"We will only wait here for three hours. If no one comes out alive, it means there are no survivors in the city. We will leave on our own and return to the fort." The guards shouted loudly towards the city.
Wei Xiyin emphasized, "It's already been an hour."
The guards immediately followed suit and shouted this.
After hearing these words, the people inside were completely panicked. What if the people in Wei's Fort thought that there were no living people inside and turned around and left?
They had waited so long for rescue, but if they missed the opportunity, they would all be trapped to death in the city!
Xu Laoer could no longer sit still after hearing this. Before leaving, with tears in his eyes, he told his wife, "Hide here. If I can't come back alive, you take Hu Zi to the fort and live a good life."
Wang hugged her son and cried inconsolably, but she knew she could not stop them. Once those troops left, the three of them would die.
At the other end of the restaurant.
Zhang Gouzi went downstairs first and said to the two brothers, "You two stay behind to cover me. I'll go open the city gate."
Liu Acheng was still a little scared. Those monsters looked so terrifying. When he heard that they had to go to the city gate, he started shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing this, his younger brother Liu Acao felt a little reluctant and said to Gou Zi: "I'll go with you. My brother will stay here to help watch the road." The restaurant has high floors and can see far away. Monsters at some corners can also be discovered and reminded in time.
Zhang Gouzi thought about it and agreed.
The two people hiding in the well also climbed out of the well. Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well fight for a chance to survive.
In an instant, countless people came out from every corner, and everyone moved towards the East Gate with the hope of survival for their families and themselves.
The zombies then began to become restless, splitting into several waves and chasing the crowd.
Seeing the changes on the city streets, Wei Xiyin and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately ordered her troops to go to the city gate, leaving only a few sentries to continue observing the situation and to send a signal immediately if they found the city gate was open.
