Abandoned city.
For the residents of this world, abandoned post stations are the most terrifying places. Because that means there are tens of thousands of crazy corpses inside. In fact, almost every abandoned post station is a huge crazy corpse nest. Usually, Juncheng just driving past them will make people feel cold inside, but now... the Juncheng in front of him honked his horn and rushed directly into the dark crazy corpse nest in front of him.
“Wuwu——!!!”
The shrill sound of the whistle awakened the crazy corpses sleeping in the darkness. Pairs of scarlet eyes flashed, and then they looked at the steel chariot parked at the station and rushed over with roars.
"roar--!!"
Like wild beasts, countless crazy corpses rushed from all directions, and they frantically rushed towards the steel chariot, trying to tear it apart completely. However, the moment their hands touched the outer shell of the steel chariot, a bright electric current flashed by, and the next moment the crazy corpses fell to the ground, without a sound.
I don't know how long it took before everything returned to silence. Then, the barrier of the armored train slowly opened. When the lights came on again, all I saw were densely packed, countless corpses of crazy zombies all around.
"So you see, this is the same principle as mosquito killer lamps."
Fang Zheng walked out of the carriage and spoke to Banjiu Shayue.
"As long as we connect the current like this, those stupid mosquitoes will come over and die... It looks like the effect is pretty good now, right?"
"Although this is true, I still feel something is wrong..."
Banjiu Shayue was sweating coldly, looking at the pile of corpses in front of her, she didn't know what to say. Although there were a lot of mosquito corpses next to the mosquito killer... but humans and mosquitoes are different after all, right?
"Anyway, as long as it works."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, then turned to Sifangchuan Ayame and her attendants beside him.
"Okay, find someone to clean up this place, and then send some of your people to the warehouse to collect supplies. Shayue, you and Katima will be responsible for guarding them. Don't be afraid if someone gets bitten, bring them back and let me deal with them - of course, if they are bitten to death, don't worry about it."
No one objected to Fang Zheng's order, and soon people on the train were assigned to move supplies. Some went to the warehouse to move supplies, while others carefully pushed the dead corpse aside - it must be said that this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
"Okay, Miss Shifangchuan."
While everyone was busy cleaning up the bodies and moving supplies, Fang Zheng turned to Sifang Chuanchu who was standing next to him.
"Come to think of it, I haven't confirmed the next itinerary with you yet. Where are you going next? Can we just find a city with people and drop you off?"
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
Faced with Fang Zheng's words, Sifang Chuanchangpu looked embarrassed.
"Generally, post stations don't have extra supplies to feed idle people. If we make some exchanges, perhaps we can ask them to take in some of the old, weak, sick and disabled people. But with so many people heading to the post station, I'm afraid they won't take them in..."
"So what have you decided to do?"
"this……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Sifangchuan Acorus and her attendant looked at each other.
"We plan to go to Jingangguo to ask for asylum."
"Kongo-kuo...if I remember correctly, it seems to be the location of the shogunate?"
"Yes……"
While nodding slightly, Shifang Chuanchangpu quietly looked at Fang Zheng. She had also heard the rumors about the divine messenger. Incredibly, Shifang Chuanchangpu felt that the rumors were somewhat credible. After all, she still remembered the questions Fang Zheng asked her at the beginning. Although it was a bit rude, it was common sense that everyone living in this world knew. Especially about the shogunate. After all, the shogunate was responsible for managing the entire railway network. If Fang Zheng didn't even know about the shogunate, then they couldn't appear on this railway network.
But if it is true as the rumors say that this person is a messenger sent by God, then it makes sense... Otherwise, how could he not know so much common sense of this world?
"Kasugano-sama! Iris-sama!!"
At this moment, the people sent to investigate in the front also hurried back, but judging from their expressions... there seemed to be no good news.
Well, that's exactly the case.
"It collapsed?"
"Yes."
The warrior who went to investigate nodded, then picked up the map and placed it in front of the two men, pointing to one of the tracks.
"That crane tower over there collapsed and blocked the track access...it was difficult to move."
"Is there no other way?"
Looking at the map in front of him, Sifangchuan Changpu had a solemn expression. This was the only way to pass through the post station. Once this road was blocked, they would not be able to move forward.
"No."
"Don't worry."
But soon, Fang Zheng waved his hand and interrupted their conversation.
"This problem is easy to solve. Just let me handle it. Any other questions?"
"Ah, yes! There is no other question, except that..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that I find it a little strange. Even if it's a crazy corpse, it's impossible to knock down the crane..."
That's true. The strength and speed of a crazy zombie do surpass those of humans, but it's impossible for him to flip over a heavy tower with bare hands. That thing is not just an iron pillar, it's also something that can lift up the entire train compartment. Apart from anything else, its sturdiness is definitely not something a crazy zombie can match.
“It’s not a big problem.”
Although the information he brought made everyone a little worried, Fang Zheng still appeared very calm.
"Leave it to me. You just need to be on guard all around and report any problems immediately."
"yes!"
After getting Fang Zheng's answer, the warrior turned and left, while Fang Zheng turned around and looked at Shifangchuan Acorus again.
"So, back to the topic just now... As long as you go to Jingang Guo, you will be able to get shelter?"
"That should be the case. After all, Kongoku is the center of the shogunate and the safest place..."
"So, will all the other refugees who lost their cities go to Jingangguo? Can that place accommodate so many people?"
Fang Zheng frowned. According to Sifang Chuanchangpu, Jingang Guo was the safest post, so everyone must have hoped to seek refuge there. However, due to the influence of the crazy corpse, even Jingang Guo should not be able to expand the territory at will. In this case, will they let other refugees in?
This is just like during wartime, when refugees flee to the capital city to seek asylum. However, war is only temporary and will end sooner or later. The battle between humans and zombies in this world has lasted for twenty years. If King Kong Guo had been accepting refugees continuously for the past twenty years, it would probably be no different from New Delhi, where slums are everywhere.
But that is their business, so Fang Zheng doesn't need to worry about it.
"So……"
"boom!!!!"
However, before Fang Zheng could say anything, there was a huge vibration and roar coming from the front. Everyone raised their heads and looked forward, only to see the people in charge of transporting the supplies running frantically towards the train.
"Monster! There's a monster!!"
Seeing the crazy looks of the people in the transport team, the warriors responsible for guarding the train also became nervous. At this moment, a man rushed over and stretched out his hand to Fang Zheng in despair.
"Save me, please! Sir!! Save me!!"
Through the man's tattered clothes, everyone could clearly see the remaining bite marks on his arm. Not only that, the man's arm had turned blue, and the blue was gradually spreading to the man's body.
Seeing this, the warriors hurriedly raised their guns and aimed at him.
"What are you doing? Why don't you decide for yourself!"
"But, but the Master said that he would save us!! Master! Please! Save me!"
Looking at the warriors pointing their guns at him, the man trembled and shouted loudly to Fang Zheng, who then walked over and nodded slightly.
"I know, don't worry."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the white dagger in his hand and aimed at the man.
"Don't worry, it will only hurt for a moment and then it will be fine."
As he said this, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!"
As the gunshots rang out, the man was knocked to the ground the next moment. He howled in pain and spit out a few mouthfuls of dark blood. After that, everyone saw that the iron-blue color on the man's arm quickly dissipated and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"My lord! Thank you! Thank you so much for saving me!!"
Seeing his body restored to its original state, the man was overjoyed and knelt in front of Fang Zheng. The warriors around him were stunned when they saw this scene - although they had heard the rumors, witnessing this scene with their own eyes was far more shocking than they had imagined.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. What happened over there? Where are Shayue and Katima?"
"Yes, yes, sir. We followed your instructions to load supplies in the warehouse, and then... those crazy zombies appeared out of nowhere. Although Lady Shayue and Lady Katima repelled those monsters, a bigger one soon came... That's why Lady Katima sent me back to report to you. They are covering the retreat of others..."
“Boom!!!!”
Just as the man finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook, and then everyone saw the transport team, Shayue and Katima not far away evacuating towards this side quickly.
"President, this is bad. A big one has come! Katima and I can't handle it at all!!"
"Big? How big?"
"have……"
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
However, before Shayue could finish her words, a corner of the station was suddenly torn open, and then everyone saw a huge human-shaped black shadow as tall as five stories emerging from it. It had wide eyes, and the dazzling red light seemed to be burning like flames, staring fiercely at the prey in front of it.
“…This big.”
Well, now it doesn’t matter whether I say it or not.
