The people walked through the streets full of zombies. They were not as well-trained as the zombies, and people kept dying along the way. There were all kinds of chaotic fights and escapes.
After being bitten, someone still rushed towards the city gate with determination. He had become obsessed with the idea that as long as the city gate was opened, his family would survive.
With the cooperation of this group of fearless people, the East City Gate was pushed open. The crowd was gradually overwhelmed by zombies. The number of monsters was too large and they were unable to stop them.
The civilians who were lucky enough to survive had no way to retreat. They were surrounded and blocked by monsters from behind. They could only rush out of the city gate before the monsters, planning to escape and take a detour through the village to the fort.
As the East City Gate opened, a huge army of zombies rushed out of the city and poured into the territory of Anping County.
After Wei Xiyin entered the city, she saw the rapidly decreasing number of zombies in the city, and her mood became very heavy.
Seeing this, Chu Yu said calmly, "Sacrifice is inevitable. This is the best outcome. Besides, they all volunteered. There is no need for you to feel guilty."
With only a hundred or so of them, they were simply unable to face such a large zombie army.
Although they were looking for medicinal herbs, they were also saving lives. Only in this way could more people survive.
Wei Xiyin certainly understood. She took a deep breath and said, "Qin Shan, take your men to the East City Gate and rescue the people who are still alive."
"yes!"
Qin Shan led a group of guards and immediately headed for the rescue near the East Gate under the cover of the rest of the people.
Now that the promise has been made, Wei will definitely not ignore them.
Wei Xiyin suppressed his emotions and led a large group of people towards West Third Lane. There were still many zombies here, but the East City Gate had been cleared, and the zombies would not continue to pour in, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Soon they arrived at West Third Lane.
Xu's pastry shop was nearby. Wang heard some noise outside and walked to the door to listen carefully. When she heard footsteps and the faint sound of weapons outside, she was extremely excited and couldn't wait to rush out with her son in her arms.
The door of the shop was opened, and as soon as the guard's eyes met Wang's mother and son's, she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
"Please go and save the child's father. He went to open the city gate and hasn't come back yet. I beg you..." Wang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the guards, crying and begging with tears in her eyes.
The guard was slightly moved, "Don't worry, Madam, someone has already rushed to rescue them."
When Wang heard the news, she hugged her son and cried and laughed, "We are saved, someone finally comes to save us." She kowtowed to the guards again to express her gratitude.
Wei Xiyin's mind was now full of medicinal herbs. After arriving at West Third Lane, she went straight to the herbal medicine shop.
The herbal medicine shop in West Third Lane is called Jikang, which is owned by the Kang family. The Kang family is a well-known medical family in Yizhou and has been practicing medicine for generations.
The door of the herbal medicine shop had been forcibly broken open by zombies long ago. It was in a mess inside and no one was there. There were broken limbs on the ground. It was obvious that everyone who had been hiding inside had suffered a disaster.
We have to mention here the architectural style of this dynasty.
Almost all shops on the street are connected to the backyard. Generally, the front yard is the shop and the back is the residence.
Ordinary people worked as merchants and their families lived in the backyard of their shops, while the backyards of wealthy families' shops were for the shopkeepers or their employees to live in.
The Kang family obviously would not live here, so most of the people who suffered were the rest of the people.
Wei Xiyin looked at the medicine cabinet on the wall. The cabinet was locked and everything was intact, which made her feel relieved.
She didn't even look at the list of medicinal herbs that Uncle Wu handed her. Since she was already here, she had to move all of them back in case someone got sick in the future. She made a gesture and the guards immediately came forward to carry the herbs.
To prevent the herbs from mixing odors or getting contaminated, the guards carefully moved them along with the cabinets onto the four-wheeled carriage. To save space, the cabinets were neatly stacked and secured with ropes.
After finding the medicinal herbs, Wei Xiyin was no longer anxious and began to walk towards the cloth shop next door, calling on everyone to search for supplies.
In ancient times, there was a shortage of supplies. In her opinion, urgently needed items such as salt, vitamins, milk powder, etc. were not available here.
She could only pick up useful things to loot. Apart from the herbal medicine shops, cloth shops, wine shops, tea houses, etc., the rest were charcoal, pickled vegetables, grain stores and other usable supplies.
Wang was the most familiar with this place. She knew exactly what each household did. Knowing that the fortress needed to find something that could be used in the future, she volunteered to lead the way for them.
Led by Wang, the guards found an intact courtyard behind the alley.
There were pickled meats hanging all over the yard.
"This is the Liu family's yard that specializes in making pickled meat. No one usually lives here." The monster broke out at night, and because there was no one here, all the pickled meat in the yard was intact.
Wang pointed to the next door and said, "There's another yard over there. It belongs to Old Li's family. They specialize in making quilts for people."
The guards followed Wang and kept loading supplies onto the car.
The other end.
Cheng Xiu led a team of guards to the market. The market in the county town was not big. It was a trading place specially provided for villagers from surrounding villages. Most of the goods in it were agricultural products.
On market days, villagers from nearby villages would come here to do business, either selling their own agricultural products or buying some seeds to plant.
The zombie outbreak happened at night, and there was no one in the market except for a few monsters wandering around.
There is a relatively large Agricultural Bank in the market, which sells all kinds of vegetable seeds. The guards broke open the door and loaded them all onto the car without bothering to identify them one by one.
Soon, all the vehicles were packed full of stuff because there was too much stuff to put in.
