Zhao Yanxun expected it to be true. When he saw that there were very few people leaving the city, the people from the capital also planned to close the city gate.
So after Wang Zong took Zhao Yanxun's token and came to Dusi to explain the situation, Chen Anming immediately agreed.
At Yongning Gate, there are scattered people leaving the city.
When the soldiers were about to close the city gate, the common people who had arrived late quickly ran over.
"Hurry up if you want to leave the city gate, the city gate will be closed immediately!" Hundreds of households on duty shouted loudly.
The people carrying burdens and pushing carts crowded towards the gate like bees' chrysalis.
For a while, the city gate became extremely crowded. This was the last wave of people leaving the city today.
The soldiers were pushed aside, forcing them to pick up their scabbards and smash them wildly, causing another noisy scene.
Seeing that the last wave of people had almost left, the hundred households on duty at Yongning Gate shouted: "Seal the inner city gate and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Rumble... Six soldiers pushed the heavy city gate.
Closing the city gate is also a troublesome thing. It takes more than ten seconds from wide opening to completely closing.
Inside the city gate, dozens of soldiers stopped the people who were about to leave the city, so these people could only watch the city gate close.
"Sir, open the door and let us out!"
"Sir, please..."
The people were crying and crying, but the hundreds of households standing on the tower were furious. He saved them by not letting them go.
"Everyone go back, go back!" Baihu shouted loudly.
At this moment, all the people in the urn between the inner and outer city gates have left the city, and the outer city gates are slowly closing under the push of soldiers.
With a loud bang, the city gate was closed tightly. The soldiers picked up sandbags from both sides of the city gate and threw them all inside the city gate. They were reinforcing the city gate.
When the tunnel was filled with sandbags, the three suspension bridges on the moat were also pulled up.
The moat is nearly fifty meters wide, but it is only twenty meters wide at the drawbridge.
Closing the city gate at night is a basic operation, but the suspension bridge is rarely closed, which is extremely troublesome.
When the suspension bridge is also pulled up, contact with the outside world is completely cut off.
At the inner city gate, the people begged to no avail, so they had no choice but to go home and wait for the next opportunity for the city gate to open.
There are many hills in Longyou, and Yuanyang City occupies a large area of flat land. Its suburbs have many hills and hills, which is not suitable for farming.
This also leads to the fact that, except for the population outside the city, the suburbs of Beijing are not too large, and of course all of these people have fled or mutated.
Most of the zombies wandering outside the city before were produced locally. The large number of zombies from other prefectures and counties have not yet caused harm to Yuanyang City.
Let’s talk about the people who left the city. After leaving the city, they went to different places to seek refuge with their relatives and friends.
Those who have no relatives or friends mostly go to the southeast, as the prefectures and counties in this direction are much richer.
If it were a natural disaster, their actions would be correct. Unfortunately, there are even greater man-made disasters outside the city.
Among the people leaving the city, one team was particularly unusual because there were many young and strong people in the team, and only half of them were women and children.
What's even more unusual is that there are several horses in their team, which can easily pull up several large carts, making it much easier for those on the road.
Zhang Ziming is the leader of this group. He is about thirty years old and looks elegant and easy-going.
But people who really know him will never think that he is easy to get along with.
More than ten years ago, Zhang Ziming was still a scholar.
Unfortunately, before he could pass the childbirth examination, the gentry from the same town coveted his family wealth, forced his parents to death, and charged him with killing his father and mother. Zhang Ziming was forced to flee to the end of the world.
Because of his good brain, he also joined the horse bandits, but after his great revenge was avenged, he quit the bandits, changed his identity, lived in seclusion in Yuanyang City, and recruited some brothers to start a horse dealer business.
"It's strange...why is it so quiet? Why are people leaving the city disappearing just as they are walking?"
Zhang Ziming felt even more strange when he saw the salutes that appeared from time to time on the roadside and the shoes left behind for unknown reasons.
There is a great epidemic in the city, and man-eating monsters have appeared. Is it possible that there are also outside the city?
Zhang Ziming smiled, all this was too exaggerated.
For the sake of the safety of the city, these people let the people out of the city, which is really shameless... Zhang Ziming said secretly.
Now that he knew the government's plan, Zhang Ziming chose to leave the city because he had a better place to go.
As a horse dealer, he has a horse farm in Yuanshanfu, which is enough to accommodate his men.
At this time, a strong man quickened his pace and came to Zhang Ziming's side, saying in a solemn tone: "My boss, the situation is not right..."
"More than thirty miles out of the city, I didn't see anyone on the road!"
They left the city relatively late. After all, their family had a big business and they were not like ordinary people who could simply pack up and leave.
In fact, they were very lucky. After leaving the city, they were able to walk safely for thirty miles. Most of them were stalked by zombies before they had gone ten miles.
The government sent people to lure the zombies away from the city, and they only led them thirty or forty miles away at most. But after the government people left, the zombies returned like a returning tide.
The first group of people to leave the city were chased away on the spot, and of course there was no one on the road.
To escape for your life at this time, you must not run on the official road, otherwise you will definitely not be able to defeat the zombies, so the common people ran into the woods.
After a group of people died, those who barely survived realized that they could only survive by hiding first.
Of course, some people returned to Yuanyang City along the path after getting rid of the zombies, but most people still chose to continue to seek refuge with relatives and friends.
Even though many people have experienced zombies, they still don't understand what it means.
Let’s talk about Zhang Ziming and his entourage. His movement was actually very loud, and it was easy to attract zombies wandering in the woods on both sides of the road.
There are not only zombies in the forest, but also many survivors. They are all hiding in the trees at the moment. Zhang Ziming and his party have been discovered by them long ago.
But they all remained silent, because the zombies were right under the tree, gnawing at their relatives.
As Zhang Ziming and his entourage got closer and closer, the attraction of the noise they made overshadowed the flesh and blood in the zombies' mouths.
"Ouch..."
A zombie stood up and looked at Zhang Ziming and his party on the official road, and the other twenty or thirty others also shed their flesh and blood.
"Ouch..."
With a sharp roar, all the zombies rushed towards the official road as fast as they could, as if they had been given blood.
Because he had been a horse bandit, Zhang Ziming was extremely vigilant. When he heard the movement, he immediately shouted: "There is movement, everyone, be careful!"
All the young and strong men under him were fucked, and all of them were holding wooden sticks as tall as human beings.
"There is something in the woods..." someone exclaimed.
The zombies rushed at a fast speed, and living creatures excited them more than flesh and blood.
"It seems to be a human being..."
Hearing this, Zhang Ziming suddenly remembered the rumors in Yuanyang City that a man-eating monster had appeared.
"Who is that?" A man in the team yelled, and then he hit him with a stick.
One of the zombies that rushed over was knocked down, but there were two zombies that rushed towards the man, and he was immediately knocked down by the second one.
With just one bite, the muscular man's artery was bitten off and he let out a piercing scream.
The companions had no time to rescue them, because they faced the same crisis next time. The whole team was scattered to pieces by the zombies in the forest, and the whole team was in chaos.
The cries of children, the screams of women, the screams of young adults...were all echoing on this forest road at this moment.
