The woman's cries echoed around everyone in the melting snow and ice.
Hu Yanxiang sent people to find out who this woman was, who had been acting strangely in the vicinity.
He continued leading his men towards City E.
They originally thought the people they sent out would return soon, but they waited until dark, and none of them came back.
"Damn it, what have all these people been doing? They're all so unreliable!"
Someone was cursing under their breath next to Hu Yanxiang.
Previously, they could only hear a woman's voice.
Now, it seems as if several women's cries are coming from different places, near and far, acting like ghosts and spirits.
No one knew what had happened.
"Perhaps those people have other ideas in their hearts."
Hu Yanxiang thought about the men he had sent out; none of them had returned, so they must have already left.
After all, Hu Yanxiang wasn't familiar with these workers.
He used these workers to cause trouble in order to obtain firearms and ammunition from the Xiangcheng base.
He has not achieved his original goal, which is somewhat regrettable.
However, he didn't lose out either.
As long as he takes these workers to City E to help build, it will be a small contribution to the Qu family.
It's good to be a music seller.
Others also felt that Hu Yanxiang's words made sense. With so many people, everyone had different ideas. Perhaps some people would eventually realize that the Xiangcheng base was better.
Some people couldn't bear to leave the Xiangcheng base and secretly went back.
Therefore, although they came out with a very large workforce.
However, along the way, the number of workers in this group decreased, and everyone understood and could comprehend this.
Hu Yanxiang led the remaining men and continued towards City E.
He talked as he walked.
"Just watch, if Xiangcheng continues like this, it will only get worse and worse. Soon Xiangcheng will be surrounded by a zombie horde."
"Those who changed their minds at the last minute and returned to the Xiangcheng base will definitely have their day of regret."
The people around Hu Yanxiang were all fawning and obsequious.
"Yes, yes, you're right. It's better for us to leave sooner rather than stay and become zombie food. Let those who regret going back become zombie food."
Facing the fawning of a group of people around him, Hu Yanxiang wore a satisfied smile.
He knew that these people were only trying to curry favor with him because of his connection with the Qu family.
But it doesn't matter. People are inherently mutually beneficial, and Hu Yanxiang understands this principle very well.
He continued to walk towards City E with his dreams in his heart and a sense of pride.
At this time, the number of zombies south of Xiangcheng increased, and before, they would only come back after you killed a few.
Now, if you kill a few, a whole bunch will come.
The garrison on the city wall replaced their weapons again.
Their own arsenal had long been emptied.
How much weaponry does a city have? How could it possibly cope with such a massive zombie horde?
Without the weapons provided by Sister Hua, they could only retreat again and again.
Even if there are many more superhumans now, they can't withstand so many zombies advancing at once.
But no matter how many weapons you have, they will eventually run out. Nobody knows how many weapons Sister Hua has.
No one asked; everyone knew that no matter how many weapons Sister Hua hoarded, it was impossible for her to have enough to buy a single bullet from a zombie.
A sense of insecurity swept through everyone's heart.
Following Gong Yi's instructions, Cao Feng began recruiting people with superpowers and those willing to go out and kill zombies at the Xiangcheng base.
With too few garrison personnel, the survivors must be mobilized to manually clear the zombies outside.
Qin Zhen sat by Hua Mi's hospital bed, peeling an apple in his hand, and said to Hua Mi with a sense of relief,
"Fortunately, our city walls are strong enough. You didn't even see how many zombies there are to the south."
It's no exaggeration to say that there are more zombies in the south of Xiangcheng Base than in D City.
These zombies charged towards the south gate relentlessly; if the city wall hadn't been strong enough, it would have been breached by the zombies.
Hua Mi lay half-reclined on the hospital bed, reading a parenting book, and chuckled.
This hellish level of apocalyptic difficulty occurred several years earlier than in my previous life.
We were really lucky that the cement used to build the city wall at the Xiangcheng base was produced in Hua Mi's factory.
This cement is exceptionally strong; even a drill bit can't break it, let alone a few zombies.
Essentially, zombies are transformed humans, and their physical strength is the same as that of humans.
Hua Mi reached out and took the apple Qin Zhen handed her.
She put a piece in her mouth and said slowly,
"That's not all. Right now, the zombies are only gathering at the south gate. Once their numbers increase, they will slowly, like a tide, surge towards the east, west, and north gates, until they completely surround the base."
"Just like making dumplings."
This is by no means Hua Mi exaggerating; no one knows how many zombies are hiding in this world.
The only thing Hua Mi was certain of was that the number of zombies far exceeded the number of survivors.
Then Qin Zhen sat by her bedside with a worried expression, looking at her and asking:
"So what should we do? Apart from the south gate, where a complete city wall has been built, the walls in the rest of the Xiangcheng base are discontinuous, and the joints are all connected by electric fences."
What's frightening is that some of the workers who were originally supposed to urgently build the city wall suddenly switched sides and left Xiangcheng.
The Xiangcheng base had no manpower to repair the base's walls in a short period of time.
Hua Mi stuffed an apple into her mouth, frowning. This was indeed a very difficult matter.
But she did not regret driving away the rioting workers.
If the conditions were different, Hua Mi would definitely have compromised with these workers.
But what they wanted was a gun, which was Hua Mi's bottom line.
She instructed Qin Zhen,
"Now the only solution is to mobilize all available resources to repair the city walls. If the timing is right, there shouldn't be any major problems for the time being."
In this regard, Hua Mi actually had her own ideas.
The Xiangcheng base is now very large, and it's unknown how many survivors are crammed into it.
Building city walls doesn't necessarily require strong, robust men.
If there are enough supplies, even women in dire straits can do this kind of work.
If no one comes to repair the city wall, then we'll all die together.
No, it was everyone else who died, and she alone, raising two children.
Although the Xiangcheng base belongs to Hua Mi alone, she has no responsibility or obligation to protect the lives of so many people.
Want to survive? Then everyone has to work together to repair the city wall.
This is a principle that everyone should understand.
I'm really dizzy today, so there might be a lot of typos. Could you please help me find them and correct them?
