"It's a pity that Qingyang County, the seat of government, also suffered a disaster. In fact, I realized in the winter that there would be no reinforcements from the court. For so many people to survive, we must find a way. The Qu family's villa happened to have some old grain stored, and I didn't hide it..." Cookie continued to talk incessantly.
Wei Xiyin had to interrupt him and reminded him, "Mr. Qu, why don't you go to the villa to take a look? We need to evacuate as soon as possible."
If he continues, he will definitely end up talking about Pangu creating the world.
Unexpectedly, when it comes to evacuation, Cookie has something to say again.
He said frankly, "The reason I readily agreed to let you leave Zaoqiang is because the villa is surrounded by cities on all sides, which poses a great threat. Secondly, there is a shortage of supplies here. We can still dig wild vegetables to fill our stomachs now, but when the temperature drops in winter, we will not be able to survive without food and clothing."
There was no place to move to before, but now that Wei has come and Miss Wei asked them to go to the fort, Cookie naturally agreed immediately.
but………
"I just wonder if the Wei family can accommodate all the people? Will there be enough food?"
Wei Xiyin replied without hesitation, "Of course we can. The fort is already self-sufficient. Mr. Qu, don't worry about the food problem. Our two families are related by marriage. Don't you think Mr. Qu doesn't trust the name of the Qinghe Wei family?"
Cookie got the answer and said with a smile: "Miss, you are joking. I naturally trust Wei."
"But the girl said we want to lure those monsters out of Qinghe County?" He pondered the feasibility of this method. "Actually, it's very easy to attract monsters at night, but it's extremely dangerous. Once surrounded by monsters, there's no escape..."
Wei Xiyin replied very quickly: "Sir, you will know when the time comes."
Cookie wanted to say something else when a young man came out of the village with some people not far away. Upon closer inspection, there were more than a thousand people.
Most of the people who came out looked confused. The young man just came in to inform them that it was Mr. Qu who ordered that everyone should live in Wei's Fortress in the future.
Most people have lived here their entire lives, and now they have to leave their homeland. Many of them expressed their reluctance and felt a little melancholy, but Mr. Qu must have had a reason for doing this. Everyone had no choice but to carry their bags and their only belongings and retreat with the main force.
Several members of the Wei clan saw Wei Xiyin and excitedly walked forward to inquire about the situation of the clan land.
Cookie on the side opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything, and then he stopped talking.
Wei Xiyin glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and said to the tribesmen, "Everything is fine in the fort. You will know when you return. It's getting late now. We must leave here as soon as possible."
The group talked as they walked and soon arrived outside the county seat of Zaoqiang County.
The broken county gate had been closed, and as Cookie had said, there were indeed very few zombies along the way. To be able to achieve this, I have to say that Cookie is indeed a talent.
It would be better if you talked less.
Wei Xiyin led his men around to the back of the county town and stopped in an open space half an hour later.
From here, a hundred feet away is Changshan County.
The back of this side is all farmland. Because no one takes care of the fields, they are abandoned and overgrown with weeds. The surroundings are very desolate.
Wei Xiyin looked at the huge crowd behind him and said to Chang Ying, "There are too many people. It will be difficult to retreat at night. Send guards to escort the people to Dongwu first and wait. By the way, clear out the zombies along the way and plan a retreat route."
After lighting the gunpowder at night, you can escape along a safe route and arrange some people to pick you up on the way to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Chang Ying agreed and made arrangements immediately.
"What the lady said is absolutely right." Cookie nodded at the side, "But I wonder how the lady plans to lure the monster out of Qinghe County?" He was indeed very curious.
Wei Xiyin's face was expressionless. "Mr. Qu, please ask fewer questions. We'll know the answer later."
She missed Chu Yu so much at this moment. Although he was a little weird sometimes, at least she could have peace and quiet.
They are both called "Sir", why is there such a big difference?
Cookie paused when he heard this. He was not stupid. He felt that he was being disliked.
More than a hundred Zhongshan soldiers not far away have organized their troops. They will lead the people to the rendezvous point in Dongwu, where they will wait to meet up with everyone.
Only fifty or so Wei clan members were left.
The guards soon began to take action, cleaning the surroundings, looking for a place to place the gunpowder, making fuses, etc.
The fuse must be long enough to give the person lighting the fire enough time to escape and to be able to ignite the gunpowder smoothly. It must be made carefully.
Cookie did not evacuate with the people of Zaoqiang. He was too curious about what Miss Wei was going to do, and from what she said, it seemed that she wanted him to stay and see, so he simply did not leave.
Cookie walked under the tree and stood in the shadow next to Wei Xiyin, his eyes fixed on the busy guards.
During this time, scouts followed the marks they left along the way and reported the movements of the zombie tide.
"My lady, the zombie army has been lingering in Shati County and seems to be returning."
Wei Xiyin's face remained calm, "Let's explore again."
"yes!"
The guards not far away pushed the wooden ox and flowing horse over, carefully took out a small wooden box from the cart, and placed it on the ground.
The box was opened, and a small black ball lay in the box filled with hay. The guard gently placed the black ball into the designated position. The small fuse on the black ball was connected to the fuse on the ground and gathered together.
Cookie looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it was. He tried to hold it back, but couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, girl, what is this?"
"Explosives." Wei Xiyin's answer was concise but shocking.
Explosives?
What is this?
Cookie was eager to learn more and walked towards the guard eagerly, wanting to observe him up close.
Seeing that the girl didn't say anything, the guards let him look at her and went about their own business.
Cookie observed the little black ball for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it could be used for.
Seeing this, Wei Xiyin said quietly, "This item was made by a gentleman in the fort. It's extremely powerful and can be used to kill enemies and zombies. That gentleman is truly a genius. He can give advice and create divine weapons."
Is this a weapon?
Cookie's eyes changed immediately. He was well-read and knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a weapon.
"It's not accurate to call them weapons. They should be called thermal weapons."
Wei Xiyin noticed his expression and praised Chu Yu to the skies. "That gentleman is truly a god. Without him, the fort wouldn't have been able to stabilize so quickly. Not only does he stabilize people's livelihoods, manufacture weapons, and offer advice, he also studies monsters. I wonder how Mr. Qu compares to him?"
Cookie looked serious and said, "Miss, could you please give me a piece of dynamite? I want to see that gentleman's masterpiece."
Wei Xiyin waved her hand and said, "Don't worry for now. After we return to the fort, you can study and observe whatever you want, Mr. Qu." Qu Qi was able to forge and modify weapons by himself. He was a man of great talent and deserved the title of Mr.
It happened that Chu Yu was almost too busy, and seeing how thoughtful she was, she found a helper for him.
